M.S.H.S

Chapter 1

"I thought you might come to bring me back.", he said as he stood on a mountain cliff, looking on towards the horizon just past the forest below him. His back facing the one he was in love with. The one that begged and cried for him not to leave the village. The one he, 3 years ago, knocked out and left on a park bench unconscious before he left the village. The one person he wanted to express his love to, was there just a few feet behind him.

He turned to see her, sadness, grief, and pain written on her face. "Sakura.", he said, seeing those feelings show on her face and the way she stood. She looked up at him, as if she were to break down right in front of him. He had noticed her emotions. "Sasuke....", she said looking down at the grass covered ground, trying to find the words to say. 

"I know I won't be able to change your mind.." She said as she placed a hand over her heart, "But I just wanted to let you know, that you're not alone.", finally looking up at him. He looked at her noticing the hand over her heart, then remembered the day he left the village. 

*Flashback*

"Please Sasuke! Don't leave me! I can help you get your revenge, just please stay! But if you can't.....then.....take me with you, Sasuke." She said with tear filled-eyes, a hand over her heart as if to prevent it from breaking and shattering, but nothing could prevent that from happening.

*Flashback Ends*

"Sakura...", he thought, looking at her, as she was about to break down, "you've certainly grown..." "Sakura.", he said, addressing her attention. "You've grown but have you gotten stronger?" Sakura looked at him in shock and supprise. "What's he mean by that?", she thought. "I'll give you your chance to defeat me, but if you let down your guard, then you'll never get another chance." 

Sakura looked at him, not interested in fighting the man she held close to her heart, but she couldn't just leave. Besides, instead of standing there, about to break down, she could get a few good punches on him, showing how strong she had gotten since they last met. "So Sakura, what do you say?", he said raising an eyebrow, curious if she had gotten stronger in those 3 years. She looked past him, onto the view behind him. Walking past him, Sakura looked upon the view before her, she was thinking on what to do. Does she fight him or walk away, not knowing if they'd ever meet again?

While looking towards the setting sun just above the horizon, Sakura was unware that Sasuke was gazing upon her. Watching her as she looked at the sunset, her cherry blossom pink hair just above, and slightly past her shoulders. He watched her as a warm breeze would slightly go through her hair, across her face, and she would carefully remove the unwanted hairs from her view, closing her eyes as the warm breeze reached her face. Her whole body was glistening in the light of the sun. Sasuke was in awe and secretly in love with her, and gazing upon her as she was, made him feel calm and lucky to be there with her. He hadn't noticed it yet, but he was blushing. He finally felt warmness in his cheeks and he shoke his head trying to compose himself. Sakura hadn't seen his "loss of composure" and turned to give her answer. "Alright..", she said closing her eyes focusing on the task at hand. Looking a little supprised, Sasuke just nodded his head and said, "Hn."

They both looked at each other before they started to fight. Sasuke threw a few of his chidori blades at her, making her jump and flip backwards a few feet. "Is that the best you can do, Sakura? You can't dodge my chidori forever, you know.", he said, smiling coyly. She just looked at him, then thought, "Now's my chance!" She gathered some chakra in her right hand and punched a hole in the ground, which made Sasuke freak out and almost fall on his butt. 

Sakura just stood up and gave a smirk, "How's that?" Sasuke was supprised, "Holy cow! Where'd this come from?", he thought catching his balance. Then he remembered, "That's it". "I see, so Tsunade taught you.", he said. Sakura looked at him, she knew he would of guessed that by the type of attack she threw at him. "But that won't work against my sharigan." Sasuke's expression changed, and threw a lot more chidori at her. More than she bargained for. "He's getting serious this time. I have to get him before he gets me.", she thought as chidori flew past her.
