*SASUKE'S POV*

"Sasuke!" I heard someone yell behind me. I turned and saw Haruko standing there, panting.

My eyes widened in shock. 'No please, no.' I thought, turning to face her.

"Sasuke, please, please tell me your not leaving. Please." She cried softly.

I didn't want to leave her, but it was one of the things making me weak. I needed more hate, as Itachi said. I would not be able to achieve this if I were to stay by her.

"I am, and there's nothing you can do to stop me. Sakura already tried, and it was futile. The result will be the same for you."I said, my eyes turning cold. I turned away, and started walking.

"Please don't leave me Sasuke! I'm pregnant and it's you child!" She called. I turned my head to look at her.

"You can get strong here Sasuke. You can get strong to protect your -"

"Shut up!" I snapped at her. I turned my eyes full of false anger.

"Don't you get it! I'm staying. Not for you,and not for that thing!" I said loudy at her. I could she her start to tremble.

"Sasuke..." It hurt to yell at her and to pretend I didn't care for our child. I didn't want her to miss me. I had to make sure she hated me. It was for her own good, and mine.

"I only used you, for my own fun and pleasures. I never loved you. You can do what ever you want with it, get don't try and get me involed. I have better things to do." I could see her shaking form. Tears running down here face. All I wanted to do then was lean down and kiss her. Kiss the heart breaking tears I caused away.

"Fine. Leave. Don't think I'll be here when you get back. I hope you die there. Your nothing a vengeance obsessed nut-case that this world doesn't need." She said in a low angery voice.

You can see right through her eyes, she wasn't angery. She was hurt , confused, and just plain lost.

She turned away and started running. I almost followed after her. Tears silenly ran down my eyes.

"I will always love you, Haruko Tsuboki. Never forget that, your mine." I whispered, turning once again taking a final glance at her fleeting form.

I walked down the village's path away from her, tears still on my face.

I sprung up, panting and covered in a light coat of sweat.

'It was just a dream?'

I looked around the room and saw Suigetsu snoring. I looked out the window across the street and saw a light on.

'Who would be up at this time in the morning?'

I saw a person walk out. I focused and vision...

'Haruko?' I thought. There she was, in a simple night gown, with cuts and bruises on her arms and to her chest.
