Pieces of Time (SakuraMulti Fanfic)

The Collision

Naruto left the Hokage Tower quickly, and told Kakashi his new mission. Said person recruited the right people for the mission, and they quickly headed out with Yugao leading the way.

Deep inside, Naruto was worried. He knew who took her, but he just hoped that she could make the right choices by the time he found her. He didn't know what he would do if she fell in love with him all over again. He knew it would kill him inside, but as for his actions to the news, he wasn't sure. He would probably try and pursue her over and over again until she finally realized that he wasn't going to ever give up on her love.

Yeah. That's what he would do.

She loved him, right? She would do anything for him, right? She had to. There was no way that she could've gave up on him that quick in only moments time.

If so, he refused to believe it.

"Naruto, don't worry. We're going to find her. I know we will," Ino reassured him with a sad smile.

He nodded once, and pushed more chakra to the balls of his feet and sped forward. They would find her. They would. He would.

There was no doubt about it.

Sakura sighed deeply. She wondered if Naruto and the others were even out looking for her. She shook her head. Why was she thinking of them at a time like that? She was an Akatsuki member. If anyone of the Akatsuki found out that she was thinking of her old teammates, she would be eliminated immediately. It was no time to stray off course. She had to stay focused.

For her village's sake.

Suigetsu noticed her gloomy behavior, and caught up to her.

"Hey, Princess. Something bothering you?" He asked her, sipping from his water bottle even though rain was pouring down heavily on around them.

"Nothing, just thinking," She replied.

He scoffed, and clipped his bottle back to his waist.

"Look Sakura, I know when a girl is sad. Karin use to do that all the time. So what's wrong? Did you and Sasuke have an argument or something?" He pressed.

She smiled slightly, "You sure paid a great amount of attention to her to know that, eh Suigetsu?" She asked, mockingly.

He rolled his eyes, "Yeah, right. More like I didn't have a choice. Everytime Sasuke did something that saddened her, she'd come crying to me about it. Sometimes she would have this sour look that I got use to seeing, so I guess that that's how I know a girl's 'Oh, I'm so upset but I don't want anyone to know' look."

Sakura laughed hard, whilst having to regain her pace beside Jugo.

"You're hilarious," She wiped the tears away from the corners of her eyes.

Suigetsu smirked, "Yeah, well it's not like I haven't been told that before. Now what's wrong? Seriously."

Sakura's smile dropped by an inch.

"I can't tell you. It's really none of your business."

Suigetsu also knew when it was time to stop questioning a woman. Right after that smile of theirs falls.

"Okay, you can tell me when you get ready."

And that's how their conversation ended. The rest of the way to Amegakure. That was where many said they had last seen a man with silver (maybe greyish) hair with glasses at. Sasuke hadn't said a word since they had set off. She glanced over at him, and regretted it.
