Sorry it took so long to update. My computer stop working and we just got it fixed. I hope you

guys enjoy I'm already working on the 3rd chapter. Well here is Chapter number 2 R&R!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!

Sakura: 20

Saskue: 21

Sakura P.O.V

" Is that anyway to treat an ex-teammate." said Saskue with a look of amusement on his face.

The nerve of this guy! The sight of him was sending my mind in a state of frenzy. I wasn't sure how to react so I decided to let my strongest emotion flare out. Anger.

" Exactly Uchiha ex-teammate.", I spat venomously he smirked and I stood up. I was not in the mood to stay here and play his games.

" Stay here If you'd like but I have things to do so stay away from me and out of my way."

I gave him a short quick nod said my goodbyes to everyone and walked home . The night air felt good against my flushed face. Seeing Saskue made me remember all the good times back when we were all still together when I still smiled.

" You've changed Sakura."

I stood there facing towards the moon, I knew what he said was true. I had changed I became cold, distant and cruel soon after he had left. All the death and destruction I had seen sent darkness to my heart. The only hope I had left had been Naruto even after everything we had gone through he still was able to smile. His determination and optimistic attitude kept me going, kept me smiling. Then the village fell into another Great War and that's when my last speck of hope died. I still remember like it was yesterday.

Flashback

As I finished up this last group of shinobi Ino came running up behind me.

" Sakura! It's Naruto h-"

I didn't wait for her to finish I ran to Naruto's side. As I reached him I saw all the blood by him. I fell to my knees and immediately started to heal him. I didn't realize that I was crying until Naruto had out his hand on my cheek and wiped the tears away.

" S...Sakura...d..don't cry."

" Ssshh Naruto save your s..strength."

I pushed more chakra into my hands and Naruto flinched.

"I'm... I'm sorry.. Naruto please hold on."

He smiled and laughed a little

" It's okay Sakura."

I looked to him and saw not pain but peace and understanding.

"This is how it's suppose to be. Remember a year ago when I told I would do anything to protect the village and the people I care about."

I let out a small sob and nodded.

" It's time to let go of your pains Sakura. I need you to smile again, be the warm loving person you always were. It hurts me to see you like this you need to forgive him."

I was surprised he had mentioned him. The last time he was mentioned was over two years ago that day I threatened Naruto to never bring Saskue up again and that was the last time he ever brought him up again until right now.

" He... was here. He.. helped me..kill.. Orochimaru."

I was till angry and I knew that it would be a very long time before I forgave that bastard.

" Naruto... I can't.", I said to him barely a whisper.

" Please with time. Let yourself see the light once again."

I longed to see the light but my heart was overflowed with anger and hate. I was to far lost in this darkness with no way out. Naruto coughed up so much blood that it splattered all over me. His internal organs were torn completely and he was bleeding uncontrollably to my utter shock I realized he was dying.

" Sakura live once again for me please." he smiled and continued, " tell Hinata I Love Her."

I couldn't help it I smiled genuinely to him, this dummy was on the brink of death and he was still able to be himself. He was the only one who brought the best out in me and I owed him so much. I watched helplessly as my brother took his last breath and closed his eyes leaving me on this miserable earth. I yelled his name with so much anguish and pain I clung to him hoping he would wake up and tell me everything would be okay. Hinata came running to my side and broke at the sight of her husband. Since then any ray of hope had long died to me. The day of his funeral was gloomy and dark, it poured over the Leaf Village that day. All of Naruto's close friends and comrades were there Kakashi, Tsunade, Gaara, and the rest of the rookie nine with the exception of one. All in the same pain, the Leaf Village had lost a Great Shinobi, many of us lost a comrade, but I lost my only family that I had left. Everyone took turns leaving their white roses Hinata and I left Red Roses. As I left my rose I was over wrought with memories of Team 7 it was too much to bare so I ran off to find solitude. My heart and soul have been shrouded in darkness since that fateful day.

End Flashback

I turned to face Saskue deep within me I still love him but right now I can't stand to see this worthless trash.

" Yes Uchiha a lot about me has changed since you left so don't think things will ever be the same."

We both gazed into each others eyes both expressionless. However after a moment I thought I had seen a small speck of pain in Uchihas eyes. Am I imagining things? With nothing more to be said from either I turned back around and walked home leaving Saskue under the full moon alone.

Saskue P.O.V

" Yes Uchiha a lot about me has changed since you left so don't think things will ever be the same."

Sakura's eyes were cold and distant. Those beautiful emerald eyes filled with hate broke my heart to see her like this. Kakashi did say she had changed that she was cold and cruel but I didn't think is was this bad. I kept my face composed after a small moment of weakness.

No Uchiha there is no room for weakness.

Naruto's last words came into my mind as Sakura walked away into the night.

Flashback

" S.. Saskue?"

I looked down to Naruto we had defeated Orochimaru but Naruto had taken most of the life threatening blows. Most were aimed towards me but that idiot got in front of me. As if I needed protection. I am not weak.

" Be quiet idiot. Save your strength I've called to get you a medic to come and aid you."

Naruto laughed and looked at me in the eyes.

" Come back to her."

I couldn't come back there was too much damage done already.

" She needs you...even though she won't admit it she still loves you. I can see it in her eyes."

As I turned to leave the village Naruto called out to me. He flinched as he tried to sit up.

" You can bring our Sakura back. You can save each other just trust your hearts they will lead you to the right place."

I was far from receiving any kind of redemption. I've killed to many I am a Avenger and an avenger has no room to be weak. I still have to kill my brother.

" She has not smiled since the day you left. Help her smile once again. Please Saskue."

I turned to look at Naruto even though I left them deep inside me I still cared for both.

"When I kill me brother then I will come back."

He smiled and gave me his thumbs up

" Hai. I'll hold you to ot Uchiha."

"Hn.", was all I said and left the village.

End Flashback

Walking through the village made memories I had tried so hard to lock up for years came flooding into my mind. When I first net them , how Naruto was outraged we were going to be stuck on the same team and Sakura being insanely happy. Yet neither of us had realized what was in store for us at the time. The Chunin exams when I awoke to a beaten and bloody Sakura trying to protect me and the day I left. How she cried for me to not leave but I needed to get stronger if I was going to get revenge for my family's slaughter. Now that I completed that task and finally freed myself from the bastard Orochimaru. I came back to see how things are in the Leaf Village now as well as keep a promise I had made to someone a year ago. My house felt hauntingly , dust had collected over the years and I could scarcely hear sounds of when this house used to be filled with life. I passed by the room were my parents had been slaughtered and stared into the emptiness and continued my way to my old room. I took my cloths off and slept in my boxers. I let my self succumb to the darkness thinking that this stay was going to be interesting.

Well here is the end of this Chappie! Please R&R! No flames though please!

See you next time!
