Well I suppose I should do something on this account sooner or later.

I bring you "Simple Science", a SasuSaku fanfic.


A lone man pushes open the doors and turns the laboratory lights on.

The hum of machines fit together in a harmonic fashion, with the steady beep of a heart monitor keeping a rhythm.

A single tank illuminates in the center of the laboratory.

The man walks over to it, his leather shoes clicking on the white floor. He stops before it, gazing at the figure immersed in fluid.

He opens his mouth but cannot make the words come out. All he can do is look at the female figure in the tank, her pink hair gently swaying in the fluid.

An uneasy silence settles over the room before he moves.

Pressing his fingers on the glass, the man leans his forehead onto the tank and whispers the woman's name gently.

"Sakura..."

He bites his lower lip, feeling gravity weight down on his body. Leaning back, the man releases himself from the glass; his dark eyes flash briefly with guilt before he looks away from the figure in the tank.

His footsteps echo as he walks away from the tank --from the woman. He softly mumbles words of determination to himself while he is walking to the door of the lab.

"I'll bring you back Sakura. I swear I will."

The lights of the laboratory flicker out and the door clicks shut.

Only the lights of the tank glow in the darkness of the lab; the music of the machines the only company.

In the tank, the woman's left hand twitches: a golden glint reflects off her ring finger.


Yeah I know it's a really short chapter but I feel that this length is perfect. At any rate, please review and tell me what you think about it!
