Please read and review-its my first story : )
The day after Sakura was released from the hospital, Tsunade had informed her that Sasuke was now a missing-nin, and believed to have joined Orochimaru.

It was all becoming so clear to Sakura now. She remembered how during the second task of the Chunin exam, Orochimaru had put a curse mark upon Sasuke’s left shoulder.

The mark fed on Sasuke’s chakra every time he attempted to use a gen-jutsu or his precious Sharingan. Each time he used his chakra the mark became more powerful. During the second task, the mark had taken over, and made Sasuke turn malicious and vengeful.

Every time Sasuke used his chakra the cursed mark slowly devoured the man she loved, turning him evil and filling him with hate. She hated it; it was like a parasite eating him alive. He craved more and more power each time, and he became steadily more powerful every time the curse mark took over him.

She had seen the signs, and had noticed it was becoming harder and harder for him to change back. He no longer smiled, and kept to himself more and more. It was driving her crazy; she hated to see him like that. She refused to say anything to anyone, and the more he pushed her away, the harder she fought to hold on.

She loved him and refused to let him be consumed by this…this stupid mark!

Anko, who had previously been under Orochimaru’s control, had made a prediction to the late Lord Hokage. She had predicted that Sasuke would become so power hungry that he would seek out Orochimaru and join him.

Sadly, it now seemed as if that prediction had come true!

During Sakura’s last mission, Sasuke had betrayed them all. After finding out the location of Orochimaru’s hideout, Sasuke met with him and asked to join. He knew that Orochimaru could give him the power he so desperately wanted. Orochimaru gladly accepted, knowing full well that Sasuke would one day seek him out. That was his whole plan when he first gave Sasuke the mark. He knew of the last Uchiha’s power, and he craved it. He knew Sasuke would make a valuable asset to him.

Orochimaru, however, wanted to test Sasuke’s loyalty and had him perform a series of test each night. He was to assassinate several elite ninja from different countries, and then for his final task, assassinate the Hokage of Konoha. Sasuke never hesitated, and carried out Orochimaru’s tests with swiftness and skill. He knew he did an excellent job and no one would ever trace it back to him. He then willingly betrayed his team by giving Orochimaru the location of his camp, and how to get by all of the secret jutsus laid out as traps.

Orochimaru gave orders to Sasuke to go back to his team and return to Konoha. He would send for Sasuke two weeks later. To relieve suspicion from himself; Sasuke fought bravely alongside his team the day Orochimaru attacked their camp. He fought and killed three of Orochimaru’s men. He was celebrated as a hero when he arrived back in Konoha.

No one had suspected a thing…that is no one but Haruno Sakura.

Ever since the mission she had decided to keep and eye on Sasuke. She followed Sasuke around like a lost puppy. She wanted him to know that he wasn’t alone, that she wanted to help him. She wasn’t going to let the Sasuke she knew die…she loved him.

Then on that fateful night, he lost his temper with her.

She shuddered, just thinking about that night sent chills up her spine. How could she have been so stupid? She knew she couldn’t change him, but still, she had to try. She had never given up hope.

Sakura fought the urge to cry again.




Sakura was so lost in her thoughts, that she hadn’t even sensed the handsome silver haired ninja standing two hundred feet away.

Kakashi had come to get some training done before going to the bar with his best friend Genma. He hadn’t meant to walk in on the lovely scene before him.

He knew he should turn around and walk quickly in the opposite direction, but he stood transfixed, captivated by her appearance. Her form was so lovely in the warm sunshine, he just couldn’t look away.

When had she become so…grown up?

He stared at the silky smooth legs, and the way her tight running shorts formed beautifully to her perfect bottom. His eyes traveled up her tight abs, and then hesitated a moment on her chest. She was still wearing nothing but her sports bra, and she was still wet from the river. He couldn’t help himself as he watched a water droplet roll down into her cleavage. From there his eyes finally came to rest on her face. Her roseate colored locks had spread wildly about her, he wanted to run his fingers through it, feel the softness of it. Her face looked relaxed and peaceful. The features of her face were softened, but still well defined. She had full rosy lips, long black eyelashes, a small but well defined nose, and high cheekbones.

She was in all sense of the word perfect. She had always been a pretty little girl, but that was just it, she had been just a girl. Now at twenty one she was stunning. He drank in her appearance as if it was the only thing keeping him alive.

She moved her hand up to her face to brush a pink strand away that was tickling her nose. Suddenly, as if someone had just slapped him, Kakashi awoke from his trance and within a few seconds was gone. He felt so foolish for staring like that, but he knew it couldn’t have been helped.

Sakura opened her eyes and stretched. Damn! It had gotten late! She looked around, thankful that no one had seen her.

She had to go home and change. She had finally given into Naruto, and agreed to have dinner with him and Hinata. She was actually looking forward to the dinner. Ino would be there too, and she hadn’t seen her best friend since the day she woke up in the hospital.




The next morning, Sakura woke up, took a shower, put on a black shirt and some khaki shorts. An ANBU mission was to be held that morning at 8:00, and she didn’t want to be late. After grabbing an apple, she headed out the door.

When she arrived she chose a seat on the far wall near the window and made herself comfortable. She knew how long these meetings were, and decided that she would make herself as comfortable as possible. Tsunade, who had been made Lady Hokage, strolled into the room with a grave expression on her face.

“As you well know Uchiha Sasuke has been recently reported as a missing-nin.” Sakura sat up a little straighter in her chair. “We believe he has joined up with Orochimaru, as was predicted when he was twelve. However, if there is a chance that Sasuke is not with him, or is being held against his will, we will use every resource available to retrieve him before another country does. I need thirty volunteers. This mission is unrated, and if you choose to accept it, know that it is extremely dangerous. I will understand if you are hesitant to…”

Tsunade was not able to finish her sentence due to the fact that someone had volunteered already. Her Face showed nothing but shock as she stared at the small hand in the air.
