It's been two years.
Two years since that night.
*Flashback*
"I... I love you with all my heart!... If you were to stay here with me, there would be no regrets... because every day we'd do something fun, we'd be happy I swear!... I would do anything for you! so... Please just stay with me! If you can't stay then take me with you!" Sakura yelled frantically.
"You really are annoying," Sasuke replied with a smirk. He turned to walk away when Sakura said,"Don't leave! If you do, I'll scream!"
There was a swishing noise and suddenly Sasuke was behind her.
"Sakura... Thank you." *thump*
He put her on the bench and started walking. Then suddenly, he stopped. He looked up at the tree where I was sitting.
"Aren't you going to try and stop me?" He asked.
"No," I answered.
"Why not? I thought you would be the one who'd try and stop me the most."
I hesitated, then answered,"I know that there's no point in trying to stop you. You've chosen your path and this is it. If Naruto and Sakura can't stop you, then I know I won't be able to. Besides, you never listen to me anyway."
"Hn," was his answer.
"Good luck Sasuke," I said.
"Hanako... I'm going to need your help in a few years. Will you come?" He asked.
"Of course," I said.
"Promise me," he said.
I jumped down from the tree where I was sitting and walked towards him until I was standing in front of him.
"I promise that I'll be there when it's time. I'll always be right here if you need me," I said. I handed him my necklace. It was something that my great-grandfather had given my great-grandmother. It had been passed down in the family and now it's mine. "Keep this until we meet again," I told him. He looked at me for a moment, then accepted it. I wrapped my arms around him in a hug. He hesitated, then hugged me back.
"Good luck," I said again.
"Thanks," he said softly.
I watched him walk away and said softly,"Until we meet again."
*End of Flashback*
I think about that night every day. There's not a moment that goes by that I don't think of it.
All I can do now is wait.
