Sakura woke up the next morning knowing Sasuke was gone. She slid out of the bed and placed her feet on the cold wooden floor. She continued to stare at the floor for was seemed hours. Her eyes narrowed.
'What am I doing? Years of Sasuke denying me and now I push my friends and village away just for him…. No! This isn't right.' She thought.
She stood up completely and walked to the dresser Sasuke had bought. It had six drawers stacked on top of each other; she had the bottom three. She searched through the clothes for her ninja gear, but couldn't find any.
'What the hell! I am an ANBU and I can't even find any fucking ninja clothes! This is NOT happening. Sasuke can't take that away from me.' She glared.
She growled as she was digging through her clothes, not caring if she messed them up. She found a red with white trimming kimono that went down to mid-thigh and her sleeves went her full length of her arm. She had black shorts underneath with a black belt that held her pouch and other weapons. She placed her katana on her back and slipped on her black boots that went up close to her knees. She bandaged a little part of her right leg and placed a weapon strap over the bandaged.
She looked at herself in the mirror. Nodding with approval, she slipped on a black cloak and walked towards the entrance. She stared at her bracelet.
"Okay, fucker. Time to go" She said as it speaking to it.
She placed a kunai on it and applied pressure to the bracelet. It zapped her as she cussed at it. She tried pulling her hand out of the bracelet with no luck. She groaned and glared even harder.
She closed her eyes to think. She breathed in and slowly started to concentrate all of her chakra on the bracelet. She plopped on the ground as if meditating. She kept calm and continued breathing slowly. She carefully placed her other hand around the bracelet and gently touch it with all of her fingers.
She smirked as she concentrated all of her chakra to her fingers and bend down the bracelet. It shattered. She grinned and jumped up and started running.
She didn't know if Sasuke knew or not, but she didn't want to be around to find out.
She ran as fast as she could as she felt her chakra spreading through her body. She has never felt more powerful. She ran out of the village and made her way to the only place she knew she would be safe.
'It's going to take days getting there, but I can't risk Sasuke or anyone else finding me' She thought determined. She breathed in a long breath and sprinted even faster, gliding on the tree branches. She narrowed her eyes as she pushed herself to go faster and faster.
'I was the Hokage's apprentice and have suppressed her. I am currently ANBU Captain. The Hokage is my teammate and the other is an S-rank criminal! I am a strong person and REFUSE to be behind' She yelled in her head as she spiked her chakra even more and was flying faster than she ever has before.
'My friends need me! My village needs me! Naruto needs me!' She continued to motivate herself as she pushed herself even faster. She snarled and narrowed her eyes even more. Branches were breaking as she stepped on them, yet she refused to slow down. She pushed herself knowing that everyone was depending on her and she knew this was going to take time, but she prayed that it wouldn't take too long.
She continued her way and was exceeding her limits, but she didn't care. She wasn't going to stop until Konoha was restored.

Sasuke was in a meeting when he felt a little zap. He remained calm knowing it was Sakura. He ignored it until he felt a wave of chakra rush into him and a powerful chakra outside in the village. He jumped up ready to run to Sakura when, "Sasuke-kun, where are you going?" Karin asked.
He ignored her and started running to the exit, but was stopped when Tobi appeared at the door. She glared and scowled as Tobi was wasting his time.
"Sasuke, is there something you would like to share?" Tobi asked kindly with sarcasm.
Sasuke growled, "Move," He didn't have time for this. He was about to tear him apart.
"Now, now Sasuke, we have important issues to talk about. You don't want me to harm your precious blossom, do you?" Tobi said as he tilted his head as if to challenge him.
Sasuke activated his sharingan and narrowed his eyes, "She escaped," He said deadly.
Tobi widened his eyes, but it left as quickly as it came. "Well now, you can focus now on the matters on hand instead of worrying about her."
Tobi acted as if it didn't matter to him if she was gone, but deep down, he was worried about Pinky. She could ruin all of his plans. He knew what she was capable of and she could be his downfall. She made a note to send Sasori and Deidara out to find her.
Sasuke grabbed his katana and narrowed it at Tobi, "Move. Now."
Tobi raised his brow and moved aside for him, "If she doesn't come back willingly Sasuke, I will kill her right in front of the whole village including you." He said with venom.
Sasuke left as if he didn't hear him. He sprinted to the compound hoping it was some kind of mistake. He searched everywhere for her, but found nothing. He growled and ran out to the village and searching through every building. Ino and Hinata were terrified when they saw him running around like a mad man.
"Sasuke-kun, do you n-need help?" Hinata offered as she tried to keep up with him.
"No," He said bitterly.
"Uchiha, What's going on? We can help!" Ino yelled obviously upset knowing it was something about Sakura. The look in her eyes read it all and she was concerned.
"She's gone," He said quietly.
To his surprise, Ino nodded her head with determination in her eyes and looked at Hinata. She caught on as well and they both sprinted off with barely any chakra looking for their friend.
Hours have gone by and Sasuke continued to look.
Ino caught up with him and placed a hand on her shoulder. Sasuke paused and looked at her with Shikamaru behind her.
"Sasuke, she isn't here. She got away and is probably finding help," She spoke softly.
He looked in her eyes and then looked at the ground, 'Dammit Sakura! Why can't you just stay still?'
"She's a strong person now. You have to trust her," Shikamaru said.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at him then sprinted away from them.
Ino and Shikamaru looked at each other and embraced one another. They both didn't say a word as they prayed for both of their friends.
Sasuke was furious. He stopped at a building and punched it. He breathed heavily as he watched it crumble before him. He calmed down enough to look at the sky as it started to rain. 'It's as if the sky is crying for me' He thought to himself.
He didn't know what to do anymore as he ran to the village entrance. He debated running after her and also staying behind. He gripped the wall of the entrance as he stared at the ground. He started to shake with anger.
"SAKURA!" He yelled as he through his head towards the sky. He was furious and as if the scream calmed him, he turned his back on the entrance and walked to the compound. His mind was blank and his body became numb. He entered his home and walked to his room.
He stopped as he entered and looked at the giant flag carved in the floor. He glared at him. He felt betrayed. He punched the ground making the symbol completely break apart. He swore as he stared down at the broken flag. He walked in bed as he ignored the symbol on the floor. He lay in bed still soaking wet and now caring about the covers. He laid there for what seemed like hours and tried to focus on sleeping, but he truly knew that that was not going to happen tonight.
Tonight he was going to think about his pink-haired teammate one last time before forgetting about her the next morning. He didn't know how long it was going to be until he would see her again, but he prayed it to be soon.
He closed his eyes finally realizing he wasn't ready to begin with.
Yes, this is the end because I was about to write a whole another story and delete this one, but I am going to turn this one into the new one so that means SEQUAL! Yes coming soon will be a sequel. Not sure of the name, but it will be another time skip, not sure how long again, and Sakura and Sasuke re-unite! We'll see where it goes. Any suggestions? I'd love to hear them.
