Recap

"Good, leader will be pleased. If you don't mind would you do some spy work please"?

"Yes I will" Sakura answered

"I want you to meet me here every Friday at 6p" And once Itachi said that he was gone in a poof of smoke but not before kissing Sakura on the cheek.

Well he was speaking the truth I did hear Tsunade-sama saying I was weak and they needed someone stronger an- DID HE JUST KISS ME!?

End recap

Sakura waited for hours and yet nobody showed up, sighing from annoyance, she pushed herself from she was sitting. It was obvious that Naruto and Kakashi were not coming.

She stuffed her gloved hands into her skirt pockets and started on her way back to her house. There was no point in just standing there like a plank of wood. Yet Sakura could not shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Sakura shook her head to rid her head of the thoughts, yet Itachi's words kept replaying in her head. She had a feeling that he was not lying because she had over heard Tsunade saying she was weak, and they needed someone stronger.

'Weak me ass, I surpassed her ages ago. Stupid hag.'

Sakura continued on her way home, but she over heard some ninja talking. She lowered her chakra and stealthily climbed a tree closest to the two talking ninja.

The ninja with the light brown ninja was the first to speak. "I feel so sorry for that girl, I mean her parents got slaughtered and now she gonna get stripped of her ninja ranks. She is 16 and is an ANBU, it's unfair to call her weak and do what they are going to do".

The other ninja with sea blue eye replied. "Yeah, it's not fair she has worked so hard for the rank she is at now. And they call her weak; she surpassed the hokage Tsunade so she can't be weak".

Sakura's eyed widened so what Itachi said was true. The news it her hard like a slap in the face. She couldn't believe this was happening. Her eyes hardened she wasn't going to let people see that the news had hit her hard and it hurt. No one was going to know that it broke through her emotionless mask.

She walked back onto the path and started to sing, the song in her eyes described what she felt.

Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside
lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without
lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow
oh but God I want to let it go

As she walked people that walked past sent her looks of sympathy.

Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show
never wanted it to be so cold
just didn't drink enough to say you love me

Sakura hated it, she dint need their sympathy or pity. She glared at each person that dared to send her either of those looks. Moreover, having all of those piercings made it even frightening.

I can't hold on to me
wonder what's wrong with me

As she continued to sing she failed to sense the youngest Uchiha's chakra, he was watching her with those blood red eyes intensely.

Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside
lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without
lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow

He was listening to her singing; he couldn't help but think she had a lovely voice. Yet he was shocked as her face was impassive. He was even more shocked at her appearance. She looked so dark, so cold like there was no sun, to warm her icy heart..

Don't want to let it lay me down this time
drown my will to fly
here in the darkness I know myself
can't break free until I let it go
let me go

Sakura kept on singing, oblivious to her surroundings she didn't even notice it was raining hard. She felt numb.

Darling, I forgive you after all
anything is better than to be alone
and in the end I guess I had to fall
always find my place among the ashes

Her wrists throbbed painfully yet she never noticed she just, walked and kept her hands in her pockets. Then rain was getting even harder. Her hair was damp and clung to her neck like a second skin.

I can't hold on to me
wonder what's wrong with me

Thunder crackled and lighting flashed, people hurried into there homes. Sakura walked at a slow pace, her cold green eyes closed as she sung.

Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside
lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without
lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow
oh but God I want to let it go

Sasuke decided to look into her eyes to see what she was feeling yet when he looked, he could see no trace of emotion. Her eyes only held cold bitterness. His mind was racing. Thoughts clogged his mind.

'Is it my fault she is like this? Or did something happen while was gone?'

Sakura had stopped singing a while ago and she had finally reached her house. She could not wait to feel the bittersweet pain, as the blood leak from her wrists. She always felt alive when she cut, or at least a little so, she could tell she was truly alive.

She unlocked the door and shut it; she licked her lips in anticipation. Oh, how she loved the feeling of her blood leaving her body the bitterness of the pain and how her blood mixed with her tears formed strange patterns.

Sakura was to absorbed in her own word that she didn't hear the front door open, and the faint foot steps. She once again grabbed a kunai from her weapons pouch. She sat on her bed, pointed the kunai at her left wrist, and dug it in deep. She quickly slashed at her wrist. Crimson drops fell to the bed sheets forming patterns. She repeated this motion over and over again.

Sasuke's pov

I followed Sakura back home…she wasn't her self she seemed so distant and cold. She didn't even notice me following her. I watched her as she unlocked her front door and step inside. I waited a minute until I was sure she was out of the way of the door.

I quietly opened the door and looked around the down stairs rooms she wasn't in any of them so I thought she would me in her room. I could smell blood fearing for the worst I swiftly ran up the stairs. I quietly stepped to the door I thought was her room, and slid the door open. I couldn't believe what I was seeing Sakura was sat on her bed cutting her wrists; she was smiling while she was doing so. I have had enough of what I was seeing.

End Sasuke's pov

"Sakura stop!"
