You dont know how much you mean to me Sasuke

Not alone Naruto

Tranquil Waters abolished Sakura

Sasuke

His eyes widened slight the rush of cold air surrounding his pale face looking to his left a subtle pink enriched his eyesight. "Sakura" he whispered not breaking eye contact with the flower.

He felt his stomach churn at the thought of his team mate . 'Why dose she make me feel like this,' he thought. Her face seemed so Lifelike in his memory as is he could go and caress her cheek.

A small smile on her face it was subtly still as delicate as the flower as what she has been names. But still it was more beautiful by far. His stomach slowly churned again .What emotion was he feeling. Lust, sorrow, no it had to be guilt.

He had left her again in a place where he knew she would be safe from harm. Or so he thought, he pondered the thought of his old village the many entrance and exits. One mainly un-known entrance the Uchiha mansion, His home.

It was deserted now so that would mean it was and easy way to enter his former home. The home he hopped would suddenly spring back to life. His family surrounding him smiling happy the Uchiha massacre a unknown subject to anyone not even the person who had caused it all.

"Itachi" he muttered the anger rising inside him he swiftly moved if arm as if he was trying to relinquish the thought of his brother batting them as id they where a physical imperfection his eyes closer has he continued to slash the air around him .

'It will all go away.' He told himself the same way he had told himself so many time before. He was just bating the air away, it was just as real as the air around him it would never leave him how ever hard he tried.

Until the smooth surface of a pelt laid gently on top of one of his balled fists releasing his grasp the petal dropped into his palm. He felt some what cleansed from this action as if nothing had ever happened. As if she was there with him.

Picking a steam of the broken cherry blossom he placed it in one of the long pockets inside his robe .The top of the petal poking out the petal had fallen from this cherry blossom. it was it's only imperfection in a way it almost resembled his cherry blossom.

Her imperfection was caring for him of course her life would have been a damb lot less more exciting but then she would have had a safe and easy life away from him. Away from the pain of feeling lonely. Away from the broken heart he had given her for so long.

Yet she still stood by his side even though he wasn't there for so long she still believed in him . Thought thick and thin thought anything. She was there cheering him on. Even in the simplest of missions she was there always smiling .

He missed her now and her innocent little ways that made her well. Sakura. She was different determined stubborn and a massive fan girl of his.

But in a way she was completely different to any other. She would be there to help him support him. She would do anything for him. And that was the reason the only reason he had to leave this dreaded place and return to her, for her. Sakura, his bestfriend, and dare he say the women he loved.


Naruto

"Uzamaki !" One of the people yelled whole heartily causing Naruto too look up from behind the sofa. His head just bobbing up while Hinata was sat on her knees next to him her clothes in disarray but there was a huge smile covering her face.

Naruto's vision was blurred at first because of the bright light shinning in from the window near the door. All he could see was the two dark figures that were in silhouette outside his front door. After a little while his vision slowly refocused on the door on the front of his apartment. He was never a morning person.

He slowly turned to face the figure beside him she was beaming at him. He slowly smiled his own smile back and lent closer giving her a small peck on the cheek. He stood up slowly after and made his way in front of the sofa. His mind still fixed on the person on the other side of it.

Naruto picked up one if the pillows that cascaded the sofa and softly threw it over the o0ther side. Making it land softly on Hinata's head. "hey" she screamed and bobbed her head up from behind the sofa. To be met by a smiling face moving closer to hers. He aggressively grabbed her bottom lip Hinata's expression quickly changed from surprised to satisfied as she timidly kissed him back.

There was a loud Crash as Naruto fell over the back of the sofa. Directly on top of Hinata still kissing her fiercely. There was another loud knock at the door and banging this time, but both Naruto and Hinata were far from interested at this point. There was another crash causing Naruto and Hinata it stop there lip locking momentarily just to look up at where the crash could have come from.

The two figures who were once outside where slowly moving closer. Naruto looked at them wide eyed and slightly anxious at what could happen next. He turned to look at Hinata her eyes were wide too. He grabbed her left shoulder and brought her down behind the back of the sofa. He made her look at him he kissed her lightly on the cheek before standing up and emerging from the back of the sofa.

As Naruto neatened the two figures who were now inside his apartment there features come into view and a sigh of relief spread across his expression. Neji and Shikamaru. They both were stood directly in front of him both with stoic expressions on there faces. Probably from the fact that they where being ignored earlier. "Neji- Ne san." Hinata whispered from behind the sofa. Bo one seemed to notice as Naruto just stared blankly at both of the people in front of him.

Shikamaru decided to speak up first, "Naruto," He paused A slight feeling of guilt had come into his mid. Why did he have to tell him the bad news. "he's been spotted Naruto's expression quickly changed from relief to surprise. The mere fact that one of his team mates was not dead yet, and that he was no longer not the only member of team seven sent him to emotionally break down. He slowly dropped to the floor his face lowered to the ground his expression becoming more and more confused. When suddenly Hinata a merged from behind the sofa. Standing and looking confident.

He strong looking stance was facing her cousin and Shikamaru both people knew her as timid. This really shocked them. Shikamaru's expression was still unchanged from his normal lazy look it was as id he knew she was always there. "Is it true ? " she spoke as she turned slightly to look at her cousin rather than Shikamaru. Neji's face was filled with surprise as Hinata's bold actions.

To be honest they where so Unhinata like his mouth was gapped at the sight of her new confidence. She turned back to Shikamaru for confirmation . "yes it's true" he told her his face still expressionless her new confident fatigue was quickly gone and replaced with a sad one. She turned to face Naruto.

He was in a small crouched position on the floor. She moved closer to Naruto putting a hand on his shoulder causing him to look up at her. He had a even more confused expression on his face. It was as if he had completely missed Hinata's out burst. Her face held a sympathetic expression she looked down on him. Naruto found a small smile grazed his lips Hinata out stretched her hand as a gesture to help him up a small smile played on her lips too.

Naruto pulled on Hinata's arm and pulled her directly onto his lap. He wrapped his hands around her petite frame and squeezed slightly. He was still in utter shock but the fact that someone was there to help him through it lifted his sprits slightly. Hinata let a even bigger smile grazed her lips. She rested her head on Naruto's shoulder wrapping her arms around him as he had done to her .

She rested her ear on his shoulder and the faint sound of sobbing made her eyes well up slightly at the fact that the person who she had admired at a distance had finally noticed she was there for him through thick and thin and through the worst of days. " No one's ever cared so much." he said between sobbed but it was still so muffled that it was hardly even audible. But she herd it. She herd every single word of it. "I love you " he muttered even less audible. She pulled back slightly her eyes red from crying but a smile on her face. ' what ever happens I'm here for you.' she thought as she watched the small smile on his face too.


Sakura

Sakura stood in front of the mirror concentrating trying not to poke herself in the eye. She had faintly thought of the Chunning exams once more but Sasuke seemed to immediately spring to mind. 'Was she missing him this much?' She mentally sorted thought all the characters attending her very first Chunning exams. She recalled a red haired boy with what looked like a lot of black makeup around his eyes. She was slightly startled by his appearance or so she remembered. She could really use this impression on the other members but Sakura doubted she could scare a bunch of S class criminals.

She smiled once more, before again concentrating not to poke herself in the eye as she made large black circles around her large emerald eyes. She reached the middle of her eye 'the hardest part,' she thought. Sakura sighed before continuing to create the effect of darkness around her eyes. She flinched slightly as she moved the black stick closer and closer to her eye. She turned slightly hearing a chip and crack as something feel to the floor.

She immediately turned causing the stick to stab hard into her eye. Sakura abruptly dropped the stick and swiftly moved her hand to cover her eye. She dropped to the floor beside the box of bathroom bottles. She felt that she was feeling worse pain then just getting stabbed in the eye. Sakura stared at the object that caused her to poke herself in the eye to begin with. There was a long black mark on the pearl tiles and there lye the stick. Sakura turned away from the eyeliner in disgust but caught a glimpse of a shining thing coming for the basket of bottles.

"The locket" Sakura muttered Blinking a few times her eye was watering causing the half done job of eyeliner to smear long line down her pale skin. She moved slightly over to the locket getting ready to pick it up. Sakura sighed; it just wasn't her day today. She picked up the locket staring at the shinning gold. The large piece of plated gold dropped abruptly to the floor causing another crash. but this time it wasn't as at all loud.

Sakura stared at lots of small pieces of gold, Sprung around the tiled floor. She sank to the floor head reaching the cold tiles sending a small shiver down her spine. Her eyes began to squint and tears trickled down her face causing the black lines to become even thicker. "I can't do anything right!" Sakura screamed the tears flowing the more. She hit her head hard on the floor. Trying to take away the emotion pain of breaking something that she had been trusted in by the person in the world she most admired.

Sakura spawned out her body of the icy floor. She lay there in her own little world letting out all the emotion that she had kept held up from being there. She turned to face the ceiling the dim light. It was just enough to see. 'I didn't even need a light at all' Sakura thought glaring at the light above her.

Sakura sat up from the icy ground and looked at the small pieces of gold scattered everywhere. She gathered the scattered pieces and held them in her hands staring at there colour. She stuffed them in the sink in front of her and turned to the mirror again the black make up smeared all over her face .Her eyes red and puffy and a scowl on her face. It just wasn't like her not to smile but at the moment she felt seriously depressed still not even regretting the searing pain still on her head.

Sakura brought her hand to her head the pain still not ceasing. She stared at her bleak face 'this wasn't her 'she thought Taking her hand away from her head. Something wet at covered her hand. Blood it dripped off her hand and onto the pale tiles that surrounded her. Something she didn't want to see at the moment, Sakura sighed before ripping off a small piece of cloth off her ANBU coat and wrapping it over her head loosely. She walked to the bath tub and turned on the water she watched it for a while.

The watering filling every crevice of the bathtub it colour seeming fascinating she just watched it fill slowly and steadily. Then she placed her hand above the water lightly moved it in a circle shape on top of the water. It sent a series of ripples in the water. She watched closely a placid look on her face she must had seriously felt low if she found the water fascinating.

Standing up slowly from her place in front of the water she stopped the running water and just looked at the droplets falling into the water from her hand. She sighed and turned away to face the mirror. Scarlet was covering her small substitute bandage.

She pulled off the piece of cloth and dropped it in the water in the bathtub. The pure tranquil water was turning a menacing scarlet. The peace in the bathroom was slowing leaving being replaced with her own concern of how much blood she was loosing.

She felt herself slowly Losing consciousness The Colours of the bathroom where fading fast. They all seemed to be merging black, as if she was being pulled into a large black whole. Her eyelids Where dropping she was fading fast. The icy feeling off the black whole was becoming more and more visible with every second.

She felt herself shiver as she was slowly failing backwards onto the cold ground. Somehow she though that everything was going it go away once she feel into a deep sleep.


Do you think I would right quarter of a page about Sasuke and then leave it at that?? Nuh huh!! shakes head Here's the end of the Sasuke chapter!

ENJOYYY!!!


Sasuke

Getting up from his position on the floor her stared blackly around him he seemed to still be in the perfect little paradise of the Flower garden in Orochimaru lare. The faint smell of cherry blossoms filling his senses. His mind became clear again about what he had to do. Go to her.

He made his way near the small door that was used to enter the small garden. Ivy was laced around it almost trying to hide the fact that it was a door.

Sometimes he had even seen people look the door in front of them for a while before resorting to opening it. And sometimes the person didn't even have a clue and just pushed the wall. This action of how stupid some of Orochimaru subordinates was one way of entertaining himself seeing as there wasn't much else to do when Orochimaru was too busy to even train the Uchiha. But anyway he deicide it was actually time to have a hear to heart with him ,the leader Orochimaru.

Pacing down the long halls the faint colour of dark purple coming into view if you even saw any sunlight. It was as if they where underground and to his own knowledge they most definitely weren't. a large mahogany door stood right at the end of the long hall way.

It was cracked open slightly. A fairly audible conversation was taking place. There was a dark aura coming from the room a long with another familiar chakra. The talking inside was muffled but it was still audible.

" so you going to delay the attack ?" the first person said. It was obviously Kabuto Even Naruto was smarter than that guy. "Yes it is necessary but as soon as there new member is out doing missions they'll be sure to be taking it a lot easier."

"of course sensei" Sasuke suddenly felt a wave of confusing come over him 'what new member wasn't he supposed to attacking Konoha ?' He looked around he was all alone looking thought the small gap no one anywhere near him. He didn't sense any chakra. He hadn't found anyone yet that could hide from him even the great Orochimaru and Kabuto's Chakra was visible.

There conversation kept going. " so what's the new member look like?" Kabuto asked his eyes looking contently onto his sensei. " it has been said that she's a rare beauty." Sasuke paused 'her ?' Orochimaru continued.

" She has been said to be there secrete weapon because of her enormous monstrous power and chakra, But . It has been said that on her last mission she was brutally injured " He looked at Kabuto a content look on his face. " So who is she ?" Orochimaru smirked "Sakura" He announced.
