Sasuke knew something was wrong. He just somehow felt it. As he got up from his spot on the bench, late at night, he saw a shadowy figure moving towards the village's gate. When he looked closer, Sasuke saw that this figure had briefcases. When it walked into the moonlight, Sasuke was startled by the bubble-gum pink hair. Sakura. He ran quietly up to her, so he wouldn't startle her too much. Even though he didn't want to admit it, the Uchiha had grown affectionate to his teammate over the years. He stopped a few feet away from where she stood, looking up at the stars. "Sakura… what are you doing?" Sasuke questioned. She jumped, not expecting the calm tone of Sasuke. "Um… well, you see, since my parents are never home… they can't afford for me to stay at the house… so…" Her voice trailed off. Sasuke looked at her, confusion showing. "But, that doesn't make any sense, where are you going to stay, you're only sixteen!" Sasuke exclaimed. The village only lets residents that are twenty-one or older own a house, unless you're rich or highly respected. Sasuke was both of these, but since he's only sixteen also, he has a very small mansion that could be considered as just an everyday house- by size, but the beauty of the place was incomparable with any other. He watched as Sakura sat down her luggage and sat down with them, her face covered in her hands, and could hear the stifled sobs as she let her tears go. He sat down beside her, not knowing what else to do, and hugged the crying girl. "Hey, how about… how about you come home with me? I have enough room to share and I wouldn't mind the company… too much." He told her, without even thinking it through. Sakura was surprised. She didn't expect her crush to invite her to come and live with him. But she nodded and looked into his onyx eyes. "I… Thank you, Sasuke." She said, smiling. He nodded and asked if she could stand. He helped her up. "I'll carry your bags… and you, if I have to." Sasuke told Sakura. She looked back at him and smiled, shaking her head. Sasuke was surprised he even said it; he usually didn't show his feelings. But she needed some comfort, so once Sakura was a few feet ahead of him, Sasuke ran up behind her, putting an arm on the bend of her knees, making her fall back, but he caught her and started walking. Sakura laughed and wrapped her arms around her arms around her neck. "You know Naruto won't like this, right?" She asked, her emerald eyes shining. "Hn. Yes, I know. That's actually another good reason to bring you home." He said, thinking of the possibility of the blonde he befriended getting angry because he brought his teammate home. Sakura laughed again and rested her head on his chest, closed her eyes, and fell asleep for the rest of the walk to Sasuke's house.
