As Long As I'm With You

Chapter 1: Finding You Again

Sakura POV

We were so close I could feel it. So damn fucking close! He left me on that fucking cold bench in the middle of the night, to join that fucking bastard-snake pedophile. He tore my heart in two. He left his home in search of power. Despicable, unthinkable; and yet after two and a half years later, he finally makes his move. That bastard! That fucking retarded bastard! Argh. How dare he!

"Sakura," I looked down to face one of Kakashi's ninja dogs, snapping out of my train of thought. "His scent, it's faint but I can smell it." My eyes widened in both curiosity and shock.

"W-where?" The nin-dog pointed his nose upwards and sniffed.

"It's on that girl." He finally said, turning his head behind us and jerking towards the woman that just pasted us. From looking at her back, the girl had red hair wearing a black cloak. She had an interesting hair style; one side kept messy, uncombed and pointed in every direction. The other side was straight, combed, and clean. From my angle, I could barely make out the colour of her eyes, which were amber-ish red. She wore black rimmed glasses and a very snotty look on her face.

"N-nani! On her!" I asked, nervous, unsure, and surprised. The nin-dog only nodded.

I thought for a moment, figuring that if his scent was on her, then she could have had some kind of contact with him. As realization hit me, I told the nin-dog to alert my comrades as I followed the red-haired female.

"Hai." Was the last word he said, as he poofed off to find the others.

.o.xox.o.

I followed the girl until we reached to a stop. Masking my chakra past the crowds of villagers around us, my only thought in my mind was to bring him home. 'To bring him home, back to Konoha,' I thought.Heck with it, I thought I was joking myself. 'Psh, as if I, Haruno Sakura, could bring his stubborn ass back. With that stick always shoved up his ass and that chicken-ass hair style, he'd never come back! Heck, I don't even understand why I was in love with that revenge-seeking bastard!'

"Juugo!" I heard that red-haired girl call out, once again snapping out of my thoughts. My eyes followed to the person she was addressing. He was a muscular man, quite tall in fact. He had spiky orange hair and a face that look quite gentle.

"Juugo, have you seen Sasuke-kun?" My heart skipped a beat when she said his name. After two and a half years, my heart could not bear hearing his name again. Even the people of Konoha had refrained from saying his name in front of me. It hurt too much, the pain was agonizing, even after all these years.

Pools of tears swelled up in my eyes, wanting to fall. Yet I couldn't bring myself to allow them to. Years ago, I was considered weak; and that was the last time I let myself cry because of him. After that day, I vowed that I would never cry again because the pain in my heart could never be mended.

"No, sorry Karin. But I heard an explosion that way." My senses were alert again as I heard 'Juugo' address his female teammate. 'Karin' nodded in comprehension as her eyes followed the direction he pointed at. In second, the two jumped off towards the said direction. I stealthily followed.

Sasuke POV

The dust cleared away as my vision became clear again. I had just fought a battle between me and Deidara of the Akatsuki. With any more luck, I defeated him since he was so stupid to bomb himself at the last second. "Art is a bang!" he said, and then he was dead, right there. 'Such a stupid idiot.'

"Oi, Sasuke!" I looked up and dusted myself off as I faced Suigetsu, one of the members of Team Hebi.

"Hn."

"I haven't found any information. Sorry. When I heard the explosion I came back." 'Hn. Yea right you're sorry, shark. Like I'd give a damn about you.'

"Anyways, what happened? You're covered in scratch and bruises by the way…"

"Hn. Doesn't matter. Where are the others?" I asked, examining my scars from my last encounter. Seconds later, we both turned our heads to someone shouting…

"Sasuke-kunn!" …'argh, damn that annoying bitch. That woman's even more annoying than fangirls. Heck, she is one- with that huge mouth of hers always wide open blabbing and trying to get my attention. Like hell I'd pay attention to a bitch like her. She looks like a fucked up gawking hippo! Bitch.'

As I snapped back into reality I sighted Karin and Juugo leap off a tree landing in front of me and Suigetsu. Unfortunately, Karin ran up to me spazzing "Oh my god! Sasuke-kun, are you alright!" and "Sasuke-kunn! Look what happened to you!" 'Hn. Like I'd ever let you touch me… I'm not blind bitch; I can see that I'm injured. Tch.'

Ignoring Karin, I scanned the area for anything out of the ordinary. It occurred to me that Deidara's partner, Tobi, was missing from the battlefield. Pushing that thought aside seeing that he was no threat; I let myself eavesdrop on the conversation between Suigetsu and Juugo.

"… no, no information yet." I heard Juugo say. Apparently they were discussing information on Itachi, while also ignoring the hippo. Juugo noticed my staring shortly and turned to address me.

"You need medical attention for that Sasuke-san." He said, while looking at my wounds.

"Hn."

"It's okay Sasuke-kun! When we get back to the base I can patch you up! Then maybe we can also have a little fun!" chirped Karin. 'Ew.' I shuddered, having my left eye twitching.

Karin suddenly perked up. "Come out."

Turning our heads towards the direction Karin faced, we heard a voice.

"It appears you need medical attention, maybe I may be of assistance."

.o.xox.o.

Eh, there we go. Like it? Hate it? Should I continue it?

Hmm… Idunno, I'd like to see how many reviews I get before I decide to continue it.

PLEASE REVIEW!
