Here's chapter 2.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

"Oh no, Sasuke's back. What should I do? Do I still love him? Does he care?" Sakura thought. She starts to remember the moment right before he had left. "I can't stand here in front of him like this. That terrible memory"

Flashback

"From this point on, new paths will start." Sasuke said.

Sakura continued on crying. She couldn't believe that he was leaving her. All those good times. The fights with Ino about who likes Sasuke more.

"I love you more than anything! If you are by my side, I will make every day more enjoyable and you will be happy. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you! That's why... I'm begging you! Please stay! I will even help you with your revenge! There must be something I can do. That's why….Please stay here with me. If that is not possible, then please take me with you…"

Sakura was crying harder now, trying to do anything to get him to stay here with her. Sasuke turned around to face her now.

"After all this time, you're still annoying." He said, with a smirk on his face. Sasuke turned back around and started walking again.

"Don't go! If you go, I will scream out loud and…"

Sakura was cut off by the sudden movement. Sasuke had disappeared from the street, and reappeared behind her. A few seconds of silence went on by...

"Sakura…Thank you." Sakura was surprised by the response she got. She stands there for a few more seconds, then……

Smack

Sakura mind, then completely iced over in pitch black darkness.

End of Flashback

Sakura also remembered all the times they all were training, and Sasuke had called her weak. That wasn't the case anymore. She felt tears filling her eyes, so she turned away and walked.

" Sasuke-teme!" He really needed to stop calling me that. Naruto stood there, watching Sasuke. Sasuke was doing the same with Naruto, but turned hid gaze towards the departing Sakura. She's look really mature. I'm surprised she hasn't knocked me over yet, Sasuke thought.

Sakura started to run into the forest, traitor tears falling from her eyes. She found a nearby tree and sat against it, wiping the water from face. After she had just calmed down, Sasuke appears out of nowhere. She looks left and right, to see if she had missed something. She didn't. Sakura started to get up to leave, but a hand gripped her elbow.

"Let go"

"No, I want to talk." He replied.

"Since when?" Sakura said with as must venom as possible. Her gleaming eyes had gone into thin slits. Sasuke seemed surprised by the poison in her voice.

"…."

"Let go or I will hurt you."

"You're to weak. You cant even…." Sasuke was cut off, with a big blow to the stomach. Sakura made sure to hit him hard, but not so hard as to do any permanent damage. She watched as many trees were torn down by Sasukes body crashing into them.

Naruto, who had been throwing kunai at a target, had heard the noise, and ran to the sound.

Sasuke was still hitting trees. Once he had finally crashed, he saw how far he had been punched. He wiped the blood coming from his mouth, and stood up. The stinging pain coming from his stomach had made him cringe. He walked toward Sakura and to his surprise, she was still there.

"Sakura, that punch actually hurt." He pulled his shirt up to reveal his gorgeous abs and the huge bruise that was forming.

Sakura shrugged. She didn't want to talk to him.

"I don't care." Again with the venom.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. She sure doesn't love me anymore. And to think she actually fought for my love. He laughed mentally. A few seconds of silence went by.

Naruto had finally caught up with them.

"Hey guys, what was that…."He stopped mid-sentence, noticing the tense atmosphere. Sakura relaxed her position and asked…

"Sasuke, why are you back? Why not years before now?"

"Hn"

Typical Sasuke response, Sakura thought.

"Just forget about it." And with that, Haruno Sakura turned around, and walked to her apartment.

"So Sasuke, anything new? Did you kill you brother Itachi yet? Naruto asked.

"Yeah, he's dead. So is Orochimaru. You?"

"The Kyuubi hasn't bothered me since a few months ago."

"Hn?"

"Same old Sasuke-teme."

"Shut up, dobe!" The glaring contest had begun. Complete silence. Then Naruto said

" Welcome back, Sasuke."

" Thanks, Naruto." Sasuke said, with a smile. This was the first time he had smiled in years.
