One Chance…

Chapter 1

The moon was high, and The Hidden Leaf village was quiet. No one was stirring… expect a young brown-haired konouchi. Saya Uchiha couldn't hide the fact that something was going to happen tonight. Something that would scar her, hurt her, pressure her. The young konouchi reached the hidden leaf gates, the area she thought something might happen. Saya let out a struggling breath of relief. When the 13 year old girl turned around, her heart broke into millions of pieces. "Tobi…" She said.

"…." He didn't answer. The guy walked past the heartbroken girl. She turned to face him.

"…You're leaving… aren't you?" She said tears already form at the brim of her eyes.

"I'm sorry…"

"Sorry? You're supposed to be my best friend. You said you wouldn't do anything to hurt me." Tears started to fall from the konouchi's face.

"Saya… I need to leave, I've already join them. You need to understand-"

"Need to understand what? That's this is life, things happen for no reason. Well let me say this I've accepted life after my parents death, I've accepted that my cousin left me here alone. But what I can't accept is you leaving me." She collapsed on the floor, burying her face in her hands. She heard faint footsteps walking. Suddenly the boy hugged her, something he always did when she broke down.

"Saya… you are a great friend, none of this is your fault… I know you've been though a lot… but I just can't afford to hurt you… I'm leaving to protect you…" He murmured in her hair. Saya eyes widen, and started to flutter close. Tobi put Saya on the bench, tears still falling from her eyes. Tobi brushed a piece of hair off her face and kissed her forehead. "Like I said, I'm sorry…" Were his last words to Saya.

The now 16 year old ninja sprang up from her bed, gripping the bed sheets tightly. It's been three years since Tobi left and that night still haunts her in her dreams. She touched the spot where Tobi kissed her forehead. The young woman laid back down on her bed.

"3 years…" Saya sighed. "Why can't I forget?" The 16 year old looked at her clock flashing the numbers 8:19.

"Oh shit, I'm late!" She yelled tripping over her blankets and landing face first on her bedroom floor.

"Owww!" She painfully moaned. As fast as lighting, she was dressed and ready to go to work. "Please oh Kami, please make Tsunade-sama drunk enough to stay home." She pleaded silently. Arriving at work by 8:27 (Best time yet) She stuck into the back entrance of the hospital only to be stopped by…

"T-Tsunade-sama!"

"You're late again, Saya." Tsunade took in a breath. "Saya… you're becoming late frequently… I am suggesting you stay home for a while." Tsunade stated flatly.

"No please Tsunade, I can't be fired from here please" Saya pleaded to her master.

"Saya it's not like I'm firing you, you're just going to have a week off. Please, Saya just one week to clear your mind." Saya sighed agreeing to stay home for a week.

Still, in a way Saya was defying her master. Instead of going home, Saya started to walk to the training grounds. Little did she know that someone was heading that way too.

Tobi, who was now 18 years old, walked towards the training grounds of the hidden leaf. Stopping at his usual place, he felt an unusual but familiar presence a few feet ahead of him. Tobi followed the presence and saw a brown hair girl throwing kunais at dummies. After examining her, he realized who she was.

"Saya…" He whispered. After 3 years of not seeing Saya, Tobi was actually surprised to see how much she had both grown and improved.

No wonder why he couldn't figure out who she was. She was different. "She's changed? Everything about her… seems different… Did I turn her into this?"

The young konouchi was fuming and taking out all her anger on the training dummies. "You need to stay home," Saya said mocking her teacher. "It's for the best!" The kunai she threw hit the dummy in a vital spot. She was so caught up in mocking her teacher, that she didn't even realize that someone was behind her. As Saya reached behind her back to get her sword, a hand grabbed her wrist.

"Long time huh?" The person behind her said. Saya froze.

'That voice...' Saya thought. "No way I have to be dreaming," Saya said.

"Saya, trust me you're not dreaming," The guy behind her said. Saya eyes started to water. The girl turned around, to the black hair guy.

"Told you." He said smiling down at the girl. Saya hugged him and started to cry.

"3 years… alone," she mumbled. Tobi patted Saya's head as she sobbed on him.

"I'm sorry…" She hated those words.

"Sorry… what are you sorry for?" She asked him. He didn't answer. Saya's natural brown eyes turned into fiery red ones.

"…No… please don't leave me again." She pleaded. Tobi looked away from the girls' gaze. Her eyes became a even brighter red due to the rage increasing within her.

"I've been on my own, fought for my life and tried to search for you and my cousin for 3 years and what do I get?" Her voice was rising at every word. "My best friend who left me 3 years ago coming back and then leaving me again. I… can't… believe you, Tobi." She said. Tobi gazed down at the girl locking eyes with his.

"Saya… I told you I'm part of the Akatsuki, you can't stop me!" Tobi didn't mean to be so harsh to Saya but that last statement she said was hurtful. The girl took a step back from Tobi and put her head down.

"Now I understand, why everyone thinks I'm weak…" She said tears hitting the ground with soft plops. "I always cry, even for dumb reasons… you must think I'm pathetic," She stated. "I thought I changed, but here I am in front of you and crying"

"You say you're pathetic but you're really not" Tobi said. Saya raised her head. "Crying has always been a sign that you're alive and truthfully tears heal others around you…" Tobi took a step towards Saya. "You have changed Saya… an incredible improvement for 3 years." He said wiping the tears from Saya face.

"I have to go now" He said. Saya looked at him with her tear stained eyes.

"Please don't leave me… please" Tobi kissed her forehead.

"I'll be back… One day" He said walking into the shadows. Saya stood in same place for the next 5 minutes shocked, and thinking about what he had said.

'That was my chance… my only chance to tell him…and I screw it up… again' Saya thought landing on the grass on her knees.
