Heya!

Okay this is my first story so i hope it goes alright.

The story takes place about 2 years after The Forth Shinobi World War.

Sakura is 18-19.

Naruto is the Hokage; Tusnade stepped down a year before and is assisting him in his role a Hokage.

Sasuke is in prison, he was captured after Naruto defeated him.

Madara disappeared after being mortally wounded by Naruto, and he is believed to be still alive bidding his time till everyone forgets about him.

And that's about it really…. Well okay not reeeally, but you get my point. I'll explain more as the story progresses.

The Last Goodbye.

Sakura walked down the dimly lit corridor, dragging her feet slightly. On the outside her face displayed a perfectly constructed bored expression, but inside her inner's forehead was scrunched up in worry, doubt and fear. It was taking all her will power to not turn around and run out of this place-this prison. But she knew that if she truly wanted to have resolution that she had to do this.

Stopping a few feet from a steel door ladled down with locks and seals, Sakura took in a deep breath and prepared for the heart ache that would follow this meeting. Turning to the guard she gave a sharp nod, signalling him to open the door. The next minute that followed was probably the most frightful minute in Sakura's life up until then. Opening the door the guard turn towards her. Sakura's gazed at her feet willing them to move forward, not wanting to look up. The guard stepped back allowing her to pass, quickly shutting the door behind her.

"I was wondering when I would be seeing you, Sakura-chan," Sasuke sneered. He sat facing her with a blind fold over his eyes, chained to a chair. His dark blue hair now hung past his shoulders in tangles, the face she once day dreamed about holding now looked worn out and tiered. Even though she could not see it she knew he had a seal on his stomach blocking all chakra flow within the body. Right now the great Sasuke Uchiha was as helpless and pathetic as a rabbit caught in a snare.

"Well you can't really see me, now can you, Sasuke-kun," Sakura hadn't prepared for her AMBU persona to come out, but she guessed it was for the best.

"No, seems I can't. Too bad, guess I can't see your pretty little face." Sakura knew this would happen; he was provoking her, seeing how she would react.

"Really now?" she was going to toy with him now, just like he had toyed with her. "Right now I wish I was blinded; then I wouldn't have to see you."

"It was you who came here."

'Well his arrogance surely hasn't gotten any better' Inner Sakura rolled her eyes.

"Nice of you to point out the obvious," Sakura rolled back on to her heels leaning against the cold cement wall.

"So came here just to stare at me or do you have something to say, cause if you haven't noticed, I quite busy." Sasuke's face twisted into a cruel smirk.

"Jackass," murmured Sakura.

"What was that Sakura, I didn't seem to catch that?" His face contorted into a sickening smile that sent shivers down Sakura's spine.

"I have a question for you Sasuke….. Do you really know what it is you gave up, leaving Konoha to train with that snake bastard?" Sakura's gaze hardened, she really hadn't thought of what his response would be but all she knew was that after this, it would all be over.

"God Sakura," he spat. "Is that all you care about? Of course I knew what I was leaving, I was leaving a pathetic village that could do nothing to help me improve, and I'm glad I left here. This village ordered the death of my clan; they forced my brother to live the life of an S-class criminal!"

Signing slightly Sakura let a small smile cross her face, if only for a second. This was the resolution she needed. The final string attaching her to this village was gone.

Sasuke noticed the change in atmosphere, before he could comprehend the mean Sakura was behind him. A feeling of déjà vu overcame him before everything went black.

"Thank you." Sakura whispered.


I'll update this when I can/ when I can be asked too.
