Hey readers! Here is the well anticipated sequel to "A Crimson Night." I really hope you all enjoy it!

The song for this chappie is "Breathe" by Paramore.

It goes perfectly with Crimson's feelings at the moment.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!

-A single day without my love feels like an eternity-

An entire year had drifted pass since Sasuke has left me. From what I read in manga's he wasn't doing very well. He seemed to be slipping ever so quickly into a realm of complete darkness. So far away from the light. Could he still see it? I wanted to save him. I needed to save him.

But to save someone from drowning; you must first emerge yourself into the water.

I thought about this as I sat in the back row of my trigonometry class.

"Hey Crimson, you okay?"

I looked up to see Rachelle. The tall redhead had become a rather close friend in the last year.

"Yeah, I'm okay" I responded hesitantly with a faint smile

Rachelle stared at me for a second. Her emerald eyes piercing through me

"It's Sasuke isn't it?"

"I shouldn't still care" I sighed "It's been an entire year."

Rachelle sat down in the desk next to me.

"He's okay, Crimson." Rachelle whispered rubbing my back soothingly.

I sighed again and ran my fingers through my short, solid black hair. That's right. I said short. I cut my long hair up to the tips of my shoulders, and trimmed my bangs straight across my forehead. So the would never be in my face.

Finally the last bell of the day rang. Signaling our dismissal. I gathered my things and shuffled from the class room. Rachelle following close behind me.

"Maybe you should go on a date or something" Rachelle subjested helpfully

"Maybe I won't" I replied with an eye roll

"Hey babe" Adrian said gliding across the hallway to Rachelle and putting his arm around her.

"Hey honey." Rachelle replied with a smile

Okay, so Rachelle and Adrian started dating three months ago. After finding out that Adrian wasn't the father of Cornelia's child. Some other random guy was. (Poor dude)Speaking of Cornelia; Yes. She is still crazy.

The three of us walked outside into the beautiful summer air. It was around this time last year, that Sasuke and I first met.

"Well I'm going to head home." I said to Rachelle and Adrian who were too busy sucking each other's faces to even notice I was speaking.

"Okay, well see you guys around." I muttered walking across the parking lot to the big iron gates leading out of the school courtyard.

I walked up the sidewalk toward my house. My mind wandering the entire time. I'm still stuck on Sasuke. I wanted him. Needed him. Dang, was I becoming a fangirl?

My strolling pace quickened into a jog. Then a full out sprint. I ran up familiar streets and alleys until I came to one cabin in particular. I stumbled up the cobblestone walkway to the front door.

"Valerie, I need your help!" I announced as I barged through the door into her house.

Valerie sat in a big leather recliner petting a small black kitten. She looked over at me. Her pretty golden eyes studied my carefully.

"Let me guess.." she started "Is it about Sasu-cakes?"

I gave a quizzical look about the nickname. "I only call him that in private! Jeez, your creepy sometimes!"

I sunk down to the floor.

"I miss him" I whispered still catching my breath from my run "It's been a year and he's all I think about."

Valerie raised a thin green eyebrow. A smile tugging at the corner of her pin lips.

"Are you actually admitting your feelings for Sasuke?" she questioned sounding excited

I met her gaze. Swallowing hard and trying to keep my voice even.

"I think I'm in love with him" I spat quickly

The recent update in information made Valerie jump up from her chair in excitement. Sending her kitten flying a few feet away.

"Yes!" she exclaimed "I knew it! Its about time you admit it!"

"Shut up" I hissed giving her a stern look "Besides nothing an be done about it. He is already gone."

"I suppose the saying; you never know what you got until its gone, is actually true." Valerie continued

If you are ever in sever emotional distress; I warn you never to turn to an overly optimistic witch for any type of support.

"What can I do about this?" I asked "Rather, what can you do about this."

Valerie was silent for a moment. She clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth as she thought.

"Well Sasuke can't come back here" she said slowly "I can't grant the same wish twice."

My heart sank to my toes and my stomach knotted up.

"But I could put you into the Naruto world."

"Really!" I exclaimed jumping up from the wood floor

"Yeah" Valerie said with a smile "Its would be my pleasure to help you reunite with your hubby"

I blushed the slightest bit at what she said

"Well first thing first" she continued "We need to get you a ninja outfit. So you'll blend in"

"Okay" I nodded happily

She waved her hand and a white an pink kimono appeared from thin air.

"Thank you so much!" I replied

"And take this, and these." Valerie handed me a pair of black zori, black shorts to go under my kimono, and a black hooded cloak.

"Tomorrow, come back here and I'll send you to him." Valerie said

"Alright" I responded unable to wipe the smile from my face

So Crimson's adventures in the Naruto world as she finds a way to help her love Sasuke will begin in the next chapter of "Scarlet Dawn"! Please review! I have got to know what you guys are thinking!
