I own nothing, but my thoughts, and ideas.

This first chapter is an overview of what has happen in recent years.

Sasuke's POV

My name is Sasuke Uchiha; sole heir to the Uchiha clan, and the last of my kind. I am also a ninja and second generation sannin. However if you were to ask others, they would brand me deserter and traitor; and they would be correct.

I went AWOL and betrayed the people of Konohagakure. I also hurt the people I let get close to me, my team cell seven. Where others had written me off, Sakura and Naruto belief in me was unwavering. They would have realigned the stars and move all the constellations, if they believed it would bring me home. I was trying to spare them the dim path I was going down. Where I was going they weren't meant to follow, but they followed anyway.

Naruto is my rival, my brother, my friend. I admit I was jealous of how strong he was becoming while my progress was at a stand-still. Even though I tried to kill him, he was openly leading the rescue mission to save me, from myself. Naruto is also a neo-sannin, and how he pulled that off is still anybody's guess, considering he does most things by sheer luck. I guess being the son of the Forth Hokage has its' benefits. And an endless amount of chakra donated by the Kyuubi is a definitely a plus. Yet, those things don't matter when he is fighting for someone he cares about. Naruto would fight as long as there is breath in his body. He taught me that it didn't matter how much training you may seek, if you didn't have anyone to protect your training is useless. Of course if he was to ever found out I uttered those words; I would deny any knowledge of it.

Sakura, my number one fan girl turn, super kunoichi changed the most out of everyone. Sakura's had always been the smartest of the group, but during the years she trained under Lady Tsunade, her fighting skill alone now rivals Anko's. Her medical skills have surpassed that of her mistress, giving her the title of sannin as well. Sakura was always there for all of us, no matter how late or tired she'd be, she made time for all her friends. Sakura always took care of us; 'her boys'. She would give and give, and we'd take it never offering anything in return. She gave us her love and unconditional support, until she had nothing left to give except life its self, and she did.

That faithful day three years ago, had been building for years. For me that day was bound to come to pass every since I saw Itachi take the life of our parents. The one the called Leader a.k.a Pein, his partner Konan, and the one who was truly pulling the strings of the mighty organization Madara Uchiha were also there. Yes, an Uchiha was the author of the heinous and insidious plot.

On that day, I had barely managed to kill Itachi. He and I gave it our all that day, and in the end we both lay facing each other. As he lay dying, he thanked me for the fight he had been looking for to test his true capacity. Naruto had defeated Pein a guy who had never lost a fight before. Sakura took on Konan. Konan was much stronger than Sakura, but Sakura was much smarter than the woman. She out thought the female Akatsuki member, which proves brains are better than brawn. The rest of Akatsuki had been taken out by my 'team', Konoha nin, or Sand, save Madara. He took it upon himself to destroy Naruto and myself personally. He had all the tailed beast except the one he desired most, and Naruto was easy picking since he went beyond his limits with Pein. I couldn't help him either, but Sakura could.

Madara didn't take too much interest in Sakura, which left her open to perform the forbidden jutsu of Genesis. Tsunade's rebirthing jutsu could only be used to heal the user of the jutsu. Sakura put her own spin on it so it could heal others. She healed more than half of Naruto wounds, and not only that she pushed herself over and beyond her limits, to heal me.

I saw Sakura fall and thought her to be dead, which lit a flame within. Finally the wheel of fire was lit inside of me. Naruto and I were able to rise to the challenge and stood victorious over the beast. As for Sakura she had a long road to recovery. The Genesis jutsu shortens the user's life span up to five years, and Sakura used it twice back to back. Sakura gave part of her life so the rest of the world could live. The Konoha's wheel of fire truly burns deep within her.

While surrounding shinnobi nations gave Naruto and me all the praises, we knew as well as others that Sakura was the one who truly deserved such praises. She had always stood in our shadows, but her greatest reward was having her 'boys' back.

While the praises came in, so did a punishment. My punishment was nothing I couldn't handle. Perhaps the hardest part of all of this was addressing Sakura's feelings toward me. Karin was no longer an issue. Sakura had killed Karin for her betrayal towards me. Apparently she lusted after my brother as well. It was no secret to anyone how Sakura felt about me. She knew me better than any female in the village. She had seen my best and my worst moments. She was there to provide shade, and shelter me from my demons. Everyone saw this, and everyone thought it was only a matter of time.

I wasn't even sure if I did love Sakura, beyond friendship. I know I was capable of loving her, and she deserved to have me. No one fought harder than she and Naruto. Plus she waited for me. While all the other fan girls moved on, she held firm. She turned down every guy who asked her out. See Sakura didn't just hone ninja skills, she had grown into a beautiful young woman.

So I made the decision to give Sakura her heart's desire, yet before I could reach Sakura; she happened. It's strange how a simple meeting could blossom into a kiss, and that kiss turned to love. The day I was supposed to tell Sakura turned into to weeks, weeks to months. It wasn't supposed to be like this. It was supposed to be me and Sakura. We didn't mean for it to happen, but it did. We felt guilt. We both knew how much Sakura, loved me, but we couldn't stay away from one another.

We have been dating in secret for over a year and a half now. Today I finally popped the question to her, and she accepted. All I had to do now was tell everyone. After she left she went to tell her parents, is when reality hit me. It would be the hardest thing I ever had to do. I was going to watch her cry, scream, and break. I was going to have to cause pain again, and this time the pain couldn't be repaired.

My name is Sasuke Uchiha and I'm going to break Sakura's heart.

I Hope you enjoy this, I really do. PLEASE REVIEW.
