Chapter 3
“How could I have let you die, Sasuke?” Sakura thought. “I loved you so much and now you're gone!”
Sakura sat up in her bed and hit herself in the head.
“Get a hold of yourself, Sakura!” she thought. “It wasn't your fault! Sasuke was the one who left Konoha and it was Sasuke who fought Itachi when he obviously wasn't ready and it was Sasuke who got… himself… killed.” Sakura screamed in her head.
“God! What am I thinking?” Sakura shout, out loud. “None of this would have happened if I was able to stop Sasuke from leaving! It's all my fault!” she screamed.
Sakura calmed herself down. She got up, got dress and left the house. Sakura walked over to the graveyard… the empty graveyard. She walked over to the grave where Sasuke ashes were buried; she knelt beside it. Sakura touched the gravestone and with her fingers, outlined the letters of Sasuke's name. Sakura could feel the tears forming in her eyes; she blinked them away.
“What am I going to do, Sasuke?” Sakura asked. “I miss you so much and I always will. How can I live with the grief and deep depression, Sasuke?”
Sakura knew that she was only talking to Sasuke's grave, but she didn't seem to care. Tears finally escaped from Sakura's eyes.
“Each day is worse then the last! You've only been gone for two days, but I miss you more then ever!” Sakura screamed. “Why did you leave me? Why did I let you go?” she asked.
Sakura went silent for a few moments.
“I don't know what I to do anymore, I don't want to live like this. I don't want to spend forever lingering in the memory of you!” Sakura said. “I want to die!” she yelled.
(Yeah bet you didn't see that one coming, but anyway… one with the story.)

Naruto walked up to Sakura's house and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Naruto knocked and the door again, still no answer.
“Sakura! Are you there?” Naruto said. “Open up, Sakura! It's me, Naruto!”
Once again, no answer. Naruto turned the doorknob; it was unlocked. Naruto walked into the house.
“Sakura!” Naruto yelled. “Are you here?”
Naruto began to look through the house. He checked Sakura's bedroom first, but she wasn't there. Naruto checked ever room in Sakura's house, for Sakura, but she was nowhere to be found.
“Where could have Sakura gone?” Naruto asked himself.

Sakura walked through the forest; she didn't know what to do. She didn't want to live anymore, so what was she supposed to do?
Thoughts of suicide raced through Sakura's head, cutting, hanging, drowning, jumping off of some place high etc. Sakura sighed. No, she wouldn't commit suicide, even if it did hurt even more to be living.

Naruto ran through the village, he looked at every possible place Sakura could have gone. Naruto stopped at the graveyard; no one was there. Naruto sighed. Where could she have gone? Naruto began to thing hard. He knew that Sakura was really depressed and that had really effected her a lot. So what if… she was thinking of…
Naruto shook his head. No, Sakura would never… but then again; Sakura wasn't being completely herself lately.
“Dammit!” Naruto yelled. “I have to find her!”
“Think, Naruto! Think, think, think!” Naruto thought. “I've check everywhere in the village and I couldn't find her anywhere! So… where could she have gone?” he asked himself. “That's it! The only place she could have gone was into the forest!”
Naruto began to run as fast as he could, into the forest.

Sakura sat by the riverbank; she dipped her hand into the water and swished the water around. Sakura wiped her eyes; she was still teary. Sakura used her hands to cup some water into her hands; she splashed the water on her face. Sakura leaned over the river and slashed more water in her face, she was being careful not to fall in.
“Sakura!” a voice yelled from behind her.
Sakura turned around, Naruto was running towards her with a great speed.
“Naruto? What are you doing here?” Sakura asked, but Naruto didn't seem to hear her.
“Sakura, don't!” Naruto shouted, as he tackled Sakura to the ground.
“Naruto, what are you doing?” Sakura asked, from under him.
“Sakura you can't do it! I won't let you! I don't want to loose you!” Naruto screamed.
“Naruto what are you talking about? Do what?” Sakura questioned.
“I won't let you kill yourself, Sakura!” he replied.
“I'm not going to kill myself!” Sakura said.
Naruto gave Sakura a funny look.
“You're… you're not?” he asked.
“No, Naruto, I'd never do that. I'd never be able to cause everyone so much pain,” Sakura replied. “Could you get off of me now?”
Naruto quickly got off of Sakura and helped her to her feet.
“Sakura, I'm sorry! It's just that I went to your house and you weren't there and then I looked all over town for you and I still couldn't find you. So I guess I just over reacted,” Naruto explained.
“No, Naruto…” Sakura began. “You had every right to think I'd commit suicide, because the truth is… there were a few moments before you arrived, when I did have those thoughts,” she said.
“Sakura…” Naruto mumbled.
Sakura started to cry.
“I really did want to! And even thou my pain seems to be the only thing I can feel right now and even thou suicide seems like the only way to get rid of it. I really don't want to leave everyone, Naruto! I don't want to leave everyone I love and care about,” Sakura explained.
Sakura fell to her knees and started to cry even more.
“Sakura…” Naruto mumbled again.
Naruto fell down to Sakura's side and pulled her into an embrace.
“Don't worry, Sakura,” Naruto said. “I'll help you get through this.”
