Sakura raced through the forest. She was off on another mission. Some idiot actually tried to escape Orochimaru and not being hunted down. What a fool. She smirked. Time for another kill.

Sasuke reached the village he was going to meet the man in. Sasuke began wandering the streets, looking for a man who would match the picture Tsunade gave him. Suddenly he saw a flash of pink out of the corner of his eye. He automatically activated his Sharingan searching the area, but the flash was gone…

 

`A hallucination? Hm. am I really that desperate to find her?'

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

Sakura found the man she was looking for in a park. He looked like he was waiting for someone…not at all worried.

 

`Stupid idiot, thinks he's safe? He must be waiting for the ninja to escort him. Heh his luck has just run out…'

 

Sakura covered herself in a black cape and walked to the man.

 

“Takao, Shin?”

 

“Yes… and you would be…” Sakura smirked inwardly.

 

“The shinobi that will escort you…”

 

“Ah yes, I thank you for coming so quickly. I am ready to help Konoha in any way I can against Orochimaru.” Sakura lifted an eyebrow. `Konoha?'

 

“Yes, we must move quickly…you never know if you could be hunted down…by him…”

 

Shin shivered slightly. Nevertheless, he followed her.

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

Sasuke continued his search of the man…until he saw him, except he was following another person out of the village to the forest. Sasuke frowned. He was supposed to be escorting the man which meant it wasn't one of his comrades…

 

`So it must be an assassin sent by Orochimaru!!!'

 

Sasuke ran to the man. However, the couple turned a corner and vanished from sight. Sasuke activated his Sharingan.

 

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

 

Sakura lead the man deeper into the forest. Shin began to feel slightly uneasy.

 

“Are you sure we are going the right way, uh…”

 

“Sakura…” Sakura answered as she lifted off her cloak.

 

“Who are you?”

 

In a flash, Sakura appeared behind Shin.

 

“You have been a very bad boy…Orochimaru doesn't take traitors well…” Sakura whispered seductively into his ear. Shin froze. He screamed and ran away from Sakura.

 

“What a bother, they always run…” Sakura sighed before smirking.

Sasuke heard a scream. He froze before running toward the sound.

 

When he reached the spot, he froze in shock. There was his mission, being held up by the neck by an unknown ninja, his body slashed to ribbons. The ninja threw the body aside. There stood a ninja with long red hair that reached the bottom of their back. Sasuke frowned.

 

“How pitiful, what a weak thing. Not even worth being alive.” The ninja said in a melodically beautiful voice as she looked down scornfully at the bloody body.

 

“I don't need more reminders of what I used to be.” she whispered before beginning to walk away.

 

“Wait.”

 

The woman stopped and looked behind her with half-closed eyes.

Fussin' and fightin', we back at it again

I know that, its my fault, but you don't understand

I got memories, this is crazy

You ain't nothing like the girl I used to know

Good with ma, good with pa, cool with all my niggas

I should try to decide, wanna let u in, but no

That means memories, and it's crazy

You ain't nothing like the girl I used to know

 

“What?”

 

“That was murder, not to mention someone very important.”

 

“What? That weak thing? He did after all betray Orochimaru…Uchiha…” Sakura walked away.

 

“Wait. How do you know me?”

 

Girl I really wanna work this out, cause I'm tired of fightin'

And I really hope you still want me the way I want you

I said I really wanna work this out, damn girl I'm tryin'

It's no excuse, no excuse

But I got this

 

“You have bad memory.”

 

Suddenly a piece of paper flew to Sasuke and landed in front of him. It was a picture. A very old one too. He picked it up and looked at it. It was a picture he knew all too well. A picture he held dear. A picture of his old team, team seven.

 

I got this icebox where my heart used to be (but I got this)

I got this icebox where my heart used to be (said I got this)

I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold

I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold

 

Sasuke looked up to find the woman looking at him with a blank expression.

 

“Click?”

 

“…Sakura…” Sakura replied with a smile.

 

“…Yes…Sasuke-kun…”

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

“Haha Sasuke, when did you get such horrible memory?”

 

“You know perfectly what I mean.”

 

“Sasuke, don't you remember what you once said to me? You told me people had different paths and that you had considered that life with us was something you thought about, but chose otherwise. Now I'm saying those words to you.”

 

Sasuke was speechless.

 

“Say hi to everyone for me.” Sakura ended before turning away.

 

Why cant I get it right just can't let it go

I opened up, she let me down, I won't feel that no more

I got memories, this is crazy

She ain't nothing like the girl I used to know

I don't mean to take it out on you baby but I cant help it

Cause my heart is in the same ol' condition that baby left it

And I, I apologize, for makin' you cry

 

Sasuke couldn't find the words to say. He was instantly behind Sakura.

 

“Yes?” She said quietly.

 

He didn't say anything, but wrapped his arms around her. Sakura froze. She was expecting this. In fact she wasn't expecting anything besides him telling her, he'd drag her back to Konoha. She was not prepared for this situation so she just stood, frozen.

 

“Why are you doing this? Why don't you come home? Why are you doing this?” Sasuke asked quietly.

 

Look me in my eye and promise you won't do me the same

 

Sakura couldn't think. She thought she'd gotten over him already, but before she realized, her pent up feelings exploded and filled her head as silent tears rolled down her face.

 

Sasuke didn't say anymore, instead he grabbed her chin and kissed her. He didn't know how much he missed her until this moment. He had been denying it to Naruto, but it seemed he just couldn't lie to himself. He really missed Sakura, and he knew that he…loved her. Sasuke began to kiss her more passionately.

 

Sakura felt his lips on her own. When she was younger, this was one of her dreams. Sasuke holding her and kissing her, but she never expected this to actually happen, so she just let her body do what it wanted since she herself had no idea what to do, and kissed him back.

 

Look me in my eye and promise you won't do me the same

Naruto was walking down the street when he felt the urge to run to Ichiraku, not before running into someone.

 

“Oww… Oh sorry. I wasn't looking…KAMI!!!”
