_Two weeks later_

 It's been two long tiresome weeks since I left Kohona.

 Thankfully I have been able to go undetected by ninja from my ex-village.How long I can keep this up...I am not sure.

You may be wondering how I even got past the gates of the hidden villages.Well thanks to my stealthy ninja skills (hehe) I swiped a sand head protector.After buying a cloak to hide my identity I headed to the nearest hotel. 

 Damn this place is like a ghost town at night. 

A shiver ran down my spine as I pushed open the wooden doors.Oddly enough there seemed to be no one at the front desk.Cocking my head to the side I rang the silver bell resting on the counter.

 "Hello sir...how may I help you!"

 Swirling around in shock, a girl who looked about my age appeared behind me. 

"Oh hey there...I would like a room just for the night." I stated sheepishly while rubbing my neck.

 She rushed behind the counter and pulled out a small key.

I whipped out my frog pouch and noticed the girl stifling a giggle. Glaring at her I handed over the money which she stuffed into the register. 

"Alright...follow me sir." 

We walked down a slim hallway that was made out of what looked like clay.It was obvious this building had been here for a while from the earthy smell and the worn down doors.After several turns we ended up at a room labeled 23.She fumbled with the keys and finally cracked open the door.

"Here we are.." 

 With a grin I thanked her and walked inside closing the flimsy wood behind me.Letting out a loud sigh I flopped down on the queen sized bed.Slowly placing my hand over my eyes, I began planing out where I would search next, and thought back to Konohamaru's intel.

_Flashback because Sasu is Sharingone_

 Clenching my fists I forced myself to breathe trying to calm down.

Once I spoke my voice came out strangled and seeping with anger. 

"...where exactly do you think Sasuke is?" I saw Konohamaru flinch but he brushed it off.

 "F-from what I could tell he's probably in the land of Rain." 

Contemplating what to do next my brows furrowed. 

"What about Orochimaru...do you know if he's still in league with him?" the boy shrugged showing he had no idea.I sighed then pinched my nose in frustration.

"I guess it's a risk I'll just have to take..."

_End Flashback_

 Though I am grateful that Sakura was covering my back; it's still annoying wasting time having to go around in a circle just to reach the village of rain.

 Sitting up off the bed I walked to the small rickety balcony.A small breeze brushed back my hair and caressed my face.The night was peaceful and oddly warm here in Suna.

 Everywhere I looked stars painted the sky like millions of fireflys.

 I leaned on the railing, scenarios raced through my mind of how the reunion would go.

 Gazing up at the luminescent moon, I smiled letting my mind wander. 

Where was Sasuke now?

         Was there ever a time he missed us like we miss him? 

  

 What the hell am I thinking.That asshat doesn't care about anything but revenge.

Either way

    I am coming for you Sasuke...I promise I will fix all this.

I am not giving up on you...Not even in your dreams...Never.

I will be the one to save you.
