I couldn't believe it. How can this be?Naruto and I were just casually obtaining more information about the war when HE suddenly barged in. Sasuke Uchia...

I silently watched him talk to Lady Tsunade, my master, and I didn't utter a word. He stood in the middle of Naruto and I and informed us that he was here to fight on the battle field with us and that he's returned for good...

I guess I can say my silence is due to being in shock but...I also feel this unsettling feeling in my stomach.

I continued to stare at him with a stern expression and I could just see the elation in Naruto's eyes.

It took him a few minutes to convince the two and that's when Naruto turned to me grinning, attempting to contain his happiness, and asked me ecstatically, "Isn't this great Sakura!?"

I just stared at him, my eyes fierce but calm, and I remained silent.

Finally, I quietly walked out of the room without any explanation.

Several minutes later...

I was now currently standing in the park where I had confessed my love to Sasuke many years ago.

I guess I should be elated like Naruto but I'm not and I don't know why... It's just so difficult for me to grasp that he so easily came back when Naruto and I...and just about everybody...risked everything to get him back and we were all so determined...

After all this time, he's finally here... After all my pain and tears, he's finally here...

So easily too...

I guess I just always imagined that the day Sasuke would return would be when Naruto and I pulled him out of the darkness ourselves and Team 7 would reunite once again and be happy...

However, Sasuke came back on his own...

Which I should be grateful for, shouldn't I? Then why do I suddenly feel this abrupt surge of anger and sadness lurking in my heart at his return? I should be happy. All I ever wanted was him...

I don't know if he is being fully truthful about helping us with the war. He told me that one time he wanted to destroy the village; however, that menacing look in his eyes has now appeared to vanish. There seems to be a different gleam in his eyes...

I'm still in love with him. Even though he has returned, I know there is no chance he would EVER want to be with me. Looking back, I regret how I acted around Sasuke, and how ignorant I really was. I know I don't deserve him. I know I've changed for the better but...my chances of being with him are rather slim.

All of this time I always wished that Sasuke would have never left the village; however, without Sasuke's absence, I would have never gotten this strong and this determined about anything in my entire life. I guess his leaving was a blessing in disguise.

I've been longing for him for so long but now that he is finally here...I just don't know what to feel.

The tears I cried for him, still have not dried, and they are my invisible scars.

Why, why am I not happy? He's finally here-everything you ever wanted and you're not happy!

DAMN IT!

Frustration was whelming up inside me as I attempted to fight back tears by shutting my trembling eyes tightly and I held a clenched fist to my heart.

All I wanted was you...

"Sakura...?" a nonchalant voice said from behind and I knew this voice.

It was his voice.

My emerald eyes immediately opened as they widened enormously, my pupils constricting, and a tiny gasp escaped my lips. My body grew tense, utterly dumbstruck, and just his presence paralyzed me immensely.

I gradually turned around to face him without saying a word and the wind danced with our hair.

"I'm surprised you didn't even say a word to me..." Sasuke stated quietly, his expression seemed so emotionless; however, it seemed serious at the same time.

I then felt sudden bursts of anger surge through me as I scowled and hissed bitterly, "I'm surprise you even care about me!"

Did I really just say that? Did I really just say that to the man I love? Did I really just say that to the man I've been crying for? Did I really just say that to the man I've been risking my life for to bring him back home for all of those years?

Yes... Yes I did.

"Hn," was his reply as he was intently studying my face expression while the wind gradually rushed through us and I stared back at him with my fierce eyes.

I guess I'm still annoying...

Author Note: ever since I found out that in chapter 627 of the manga that Sasuke decides to turn "good" or just simply assist the village with the war, this story has been playing over and over in my head... So I hoped you guys liked it. I'll update when I can and please review,

Thank you:)
