Chapter 1

Just feet apart, two shinobi stand staring into each other's eyes, two completely different expressions painted on their faces. His is completely devoid of all emotion, a cold and lifeless look in his eyes. Her eyes are filled with a heartbreaking sadness, a small smile gracing her beautiful lips.

"Why do you keep chasing after me? Why don't you just give up?" he asks harshly. "I don't understand."

"It's simple," her beautiful velvet voice replies. "It's because I love you Sasuke. You are my best friend and the person that created a space in my heart that only you can fill. I will always be there for you, whether you want me to or not, and I will keep my promise to Sakura. I will bring you back to the village no matter what."

"You're going to have to do it by force. I will not go back to that place willingly," he smirks.

"As you wish," Naruko whispers as Sasuke draws his sword, preparing to attack. With the sad smile gone, Naruko does the same, biting her thumbs and drawing blood she breaks the seals on her wrists and holds her twin blades in her hands.

Without hesitation Sasuke charges, his sword crackling with electricity, and when the two meet a resounding boom echoes off the landscape causing every living thing to run in fear for their lives. They go on like this for several hours, neither gaining nor giving up ground, but soon their wounds begin to take a toll, standing feet apart, both shinobi breathe heavily. A growl of frustration escapes Sasuke's throat as he charges again but Naruko easily deflects it, her chakra charged block sends Sasuke's sword flying into the air before burying itself into the ground. Slowly Naruko walks up to her disarmed opponent and places to blade of one of her swords against his throat.

"I'm not going back, they forced my brother to kill his own family and then leave his brother to suffer alone. I will destroy Konoha."

"What they did was wrong and cruel. But if your brother hadn't done what he did then a new war would have started which would have resulted in thousands losing their lives. Nothing will make the pain go away, but with the help of the people that love you, the pain will lessen. Please let me help you. I love you Sasuke and I will do anything for you."

"What do you know about pain! You never knew your mother and father. You don't know what it is like to lose something that precious!" he yells out as he separates himself from Naruko, his hand beginning to glow with electricity.

"Yes I do," she whispers back as he charges towards her. Instead of defending herself, Naruko drops both her swords and holds her arms out, a small tear escaping her cerulean eyes as Sasuke's chidori burns through her clothes and skin, going right through her heart. As the dust around them settles, Sasuke's eyes open wide with shock. Instantly the spark that gave Naruko's eyes life disappears as she collapses to her knees, her once brilliant cerulean eyes now dull and her sunshine colored hair stained with crimson. Silently Sasuke just stands there as she falls, unable to believe what just happened and as her body finally hits the ground, an angry flash and the boom of thunder sounds protesting to the events that had just unfolded as it begins to weep.

Finally realizing what he had done, Sasuke drops to his knees, the rain mixing with his tears as they stream down his cheeks. "Why didn't you move," he whispers as he cradles Naruko's cold and lifeless body. "You could have easily dodged my chidori, so why didn't you?"

A piece of paper sticking out from Naruko's pocket catches his eye, and after gently laying her body back on the ground and closing her eyes, he grabs the paper. It was an envelope, his name on the front barely legible from the blood that had splattered on it. Earnestly he rips the envelope open and reads its contents.

Sasuke,

You probably hate me right now for what I did. I purposely let you win because this was the only way to make you see the truth, to see what you have become. You are my best friend and the person I love. I want you to know that I forgave you long ago for all the things you've said and done to me and to say I'm sorry. Sorry for not being strong enough to save you and I'm sorry it had to end this way. I just want you to do one thing for me, okay? Let it all go. Let go of all the anger and hatred that has turned your heart as black as your obsidian eyes. The you that I have come to know isn't the real you. The real you loves to eat tomatoes and just be with your friends. Remember when we tried to see what was under Kakashi's mask all those years ago? You tried to act like you didn't care, but I could see under your façade. You were having just as much fun as Sakura and I were. I miss those times, when we would spar together and just have fun, I would give anything to laugh with you again. Now, enough reminiscing, there is one other reason why I let you win. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance, even you. I am going to give you that second chance, so don't mess it up, okay? By the time you finish reading this you will have your second chance. Just remember, I will always love you.

Love Naruko

Just as Sasuke had finished reading the letter a blue light begins to radiate from Naruko's fallen body. Slowly it engulfs Sasuke's wounded form, a strange warmth spreading through him. "What's going on?" he questions. "What's happening to—." But he is unable to finish his thought as an intense pain begins to plague his body as the light becomes brighter. Finally just as Sasuke couldn't take it anymore, the light disappears and he is lying on his back staring up at a brilliant blue sky, a gentle warm breeze rustling through the long grass that surrounds him. What happened? Where am I? He thinks to himself.

"Hey Sasuke, what ya doing?" an all too familiar voice echoes in his ears.

"Naruko, get over here?"

"What is it—Sasuke who is that? And why does he look like you?" Naruko asks her teammate as she crouches down next to him, staring at the strange being at their feet.

"I don't know. Whoever he is, he doesn't look very well. Stay here I'll go find Kakashi."

"Na—Naruko is that you?" the stranger manages to choke out before everything goes black.

A/N: Here is the first chapter! I decided to make Letter To You into an actually story so some of Naruko's letter came from there, but I changed a few things. I hope you liked it! Please review and tell me how I am doing, or if you have any ideas for the story! Will update soon! ^_^
