Dear Sakura...

I've left the Leaf village long ago... suspending my emotions in an attempt to gain power. It worked, for the most part... I killed Itachi. It's what I always wanted. Naturally, it hurt me...it cut me so deep, that I will never go home to the Leaf. I will never come back to you...to Naruto...to my home.

But Sakura, the reason it hurts is because it's impossible for me to shake off these human emotions that I feel...it's IMPOSSIBLE to not feel anything, when everything you had is gone. My goal is complete...my goal was wrong. And still, everything that I used to have...it's all gone, now.

I shouldn't have felt anything at all when I slaughtered him, Sakura. I thought I learned to sever all attachments, to destroy all emotion. It took me a long time to figure it out...

It's you, Sakura.

I spent hours last night, staring up at the stars, plotting to kill everyone in the Leaf village, but I would have one exception: you. I want to live with you... I would even be okay dying at your feet. I want nothing more than to see you right now. This is because I know deep down inside, that you were always standing in the way...in the way of my feelings, my goals, my hatred.

When I stared at the stars, I counted each one of them as a reason that I love you...until I ran out of stars.

Sakura... I will never hurt you. I will never so much as touch you if that is what you wish. I am coming to invade the Leaf tomorrow. I can only hope you will still have a place in your heart for me when my work is done. Because now...you're the only part of me that's still human.

Sasuke Uchiha


A/N: This will have multi chapters to it, starting with Sasuke, next will be her response in a letter. Then she'll write to Naruto, who'll write to Sasuke, and then Hinata will write to Naruto. Maybe. It depends if you like it. Fav pairing..? let me know what you think, what to write next, what pairing you like so I can write about it. Thanks. Btw, im not too far along in Shippuden, I haven't seen Sasuke kill Itachi, so plz don't spoil anything. Thank you so much! 3
