I was walking to my clinical and all I could think about was Sasuke. We had been through a lot in the past few years. I was finishing up all of my medical training and learning new techniques. I have been away from him and the village for six weeks. Lady Tsunade sent me and I was very unwilling. Sasuke and I haven't been apart since he returned home and went in front of the council for his crimes.
Flashback
It honestly felt like the world had stopped spinning. Naruto and I were in the back away from the stage so we could hide our anger. Sasuke may have left us, but he did all of the nations a favor by killing Orochimaru, Kabuto, and most of the Akatsuki. Lady Tsuande and the council began to speak.
"Sasuke Uchiha, you are being charged for abandoning Konoha. You are classified as an S-Ranked criminal."
I looked down at the ground. Normally in these circumstances the offender would be put to death and I wouldn't feel upset or angry. This is a completely different situation though. Sasuke is my teammate, my friend, the man I was and still am in love with. I couldn't help the tears that fell.
"As a council and as a village we believe our decision is fair and just. Normally we would execute you without hesitation, but since you have eliminated most of the threats for the village this is not an option. You will be sentenced to six months of house arrest, low rank missions until we see you have earned higher ranking ones, you will categorized as a genin until we decide otherwise. You will also be on probation for two years."
I started to ball my eyes out. I was happy, overjoyed, hurt, and angry. I wanted Team 7 back and I wanted Sasuke as mine.
"This trail is finished. Everyone is free to go."
I don't know what came over me, but I ran with all of my strength to the stage. I wrapped my arms around Sasuke and he did the same in return. My 5' 3" frame disappeared in his 6' 2" frame. I buried my head in his chest and cried. The best part was he didn't push me away.
"Sakura….."
I looked up at him and he was also crying. I couldn't believe this it was so different.
"I owe you an apology. I owe you everything. Can we restart? Let me fix everything."
"You can try, but it wont be easy."
We didn't talk anymore, we just held each other.
End Flashback
It's been six months since the trail. He was released from house arrest when I left for the clinical training. He has been living with me and it was a rough change. Sasuke was frustrated with everyone and everything for the first month. We started having parties and that's when he started to open up. Tomorrow morning I get to go back home and I was overjoyed. I missed everyone so much.
The class flew by so quickly and I ran back to my room. I packed all of my scrolls and clothes. I sprawled out on the bed and called Sasuke on my phone.
"Hello."
"Hi Sasuke."
"Sakura, how are you?"
"I'm okay. I just miss you."
"You'll be home tomorrow. I miss you too. It's been just me and dobe. It's not the same without you."
"Sasuke stop, you'll make me cry. I have to go to bed here soon. I plan on being home in the late afternoon."
"Good. Well good night Sakura. Sleep well and be safe."
"Good night Sasuke."
"Bye."
"Bye."
The call ended and I was ready to be home. I have only told him that I love him twice since we have been dating. I didn't want to force him to say something he didn't know for sure yet. I could wait forever.
I turned off my light and rested my head on the pillow. I had to settle my excitement and focus on getting home.
