Prologue

The Fourth Shinobi World War was over. Naruto was able to save everyone from Obito Uchiha and Madara once again and the true piece he was searching for, following the Dream of his late Shisho, seemed finally achieved.

At that evening everyone celebrated no matter which village they were from. It was the evening where all hatred and fights against one another were forgotten. And it was also the last evening all shinobi from every village were together because as soon as the sun rose again every village would go home and return to the lives they had before.

But for now everyone laught together and celebrated Naruto, then he was the hero that protected and saved everyone. It was only Sakura that couldn`t feel completely relieved.

Of course she was happy that the enemy was defeated and she was beyond incredibly proud of Naruto for he was the one who was able to do so. But Sakura couldn`t help but glance every now and then at the group that was sitting far from the rest and secluded itself.

The raven haired boy was sitting with his team he himself had founded to kill his Brother, something he later regretted because he learnt the actual truth behind the whole story, watching Naruto in silence who was now thrown in the air and caught again by some of the shinobis that were especially thankful for their lives.

Then, to Sakuras surprise she noticed how the dark eyes of the Uchiha boy moved from Naruto to her and for a short moment they looked at each other.

Totally flushed and embarrassed that she had been caught watching him she swiftly turned her head and pretended to laugh with everyone else at Naruto who was obviously feeling uncomfortable with the situation he was in now.

It was Naruto then who was the first one to go to his former teammate and talk to him.

Even though Sasuke had helped a big deal with defeating Obito and Madara and without his help Naruto would not have been able to beat him, everyone was eyeing him suspiciously ready to defend themselves if he attacked. Sasuke was still a criminal who kidnapped Bee, attacked the five Kages at the Kage Submit and killed Danzo.

They all knew how powerful and dangerous he was.

"Teme join us already!" Naruto said with a huge grin on his face. Sasuke looked up at him but said nothing "It's thanks to you that everyone is able to laugh now, too"."Shut up. It's not like I did it for them" he said coolly.

"You never change do you?" Naruto asked rhetorically, his mood still hyped up.

Suddenly turning serious he looked at Sasuke "You're returning to Konoha this time right?"

Sasuke tightened his eyes as he returned Narutos stare then turning is head, he peered in the dark forest "...Yeah…"

That was all he needed to know. Grinning so widely that his teeth were showing Naruto laught "But it's still me who's gonna become Hokage!"

It was already late at night when Sakura decided to take a walk because she couldn't sleep.

When she looked up to the starry sky which enlightened the space, Sakura heard a familiar voice.

"Karin you're annoying! Leave me alone" The voice belonged to Sasuke who was obviously trying to keep Karin at a distance when she like always tried one of her hopeless hitting-on-him attacks.

Embarrassed she tried to talk back in a cool way which clearly failed, "W-What…just so you know I haven't forgiven you yet for trying to kill me!...I would though if you asked…"she added in a small voice.

Untouched by what she had said, he replied not even looking "What do I care! Go away now!" Seeing as her seducing failed and how it would be best not to agitate him any more she decided it would be best to leave and with that she walked away, sulking and hurt by his persistent refusal.

Uncomfortable that she had just seen and heard the whole scene Sakura was hoping that the dark haired boy hadn't seen her or would just ignore her like he always did when they were younger.

Well the pinkette was unfortunate because he had already seen her and was now walking slowly but straight to her.

"Sakura" For a short moment she considered pretending that she didn't hear him and to just walk away but since she knew better than anyone that Sasuke couldn't be fooled so easily she turned to face him "H-Hey…".

The moment she looked at him she stopped breathing. What she saw made her heart stop and it reminded her once again how she felt everyday when they were still a Team.

As Sasuke took his last step towards her and stopped ten feet away from her, the bright moon that was just before covered by a cloud, enlightened the space he was standing on and made his light skin almost look blazing in the dark night.

She could see every inch of him but her attention was glued to his beautiful face.

It was his eyes that were capturing her with his straightforward gaze as he looked directly at her.

"What are you doing here so late at night?" "W-well I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk" she replied trying to hide her nervousness.

As he didn't seem to want to say anything back Sakura tried to keep the conversation going because the quiet made her even more uncomfortable "And what about you?"

"The same as you…"Sakura was so surprised she widened her eyes. Honestly she didn't really expect him to answer anything that she may ask him.

Seeing her reaction he smirked a little "What. Did you think I would start an attack at the Hokage and the Konoha Shionobis or something?"

"No of course not." She replied overtaken by his question "You said you were coming back to Konoha didn't you".

But the truth was she wasn't really convinced by his decision at all even though she pretended in front of everyone that everything will be fine because Sasuke finally decided to come back.

Sasuke came a little closer which made Sakuras heart skip a beat. Even though her head screamed at her to be careful her Heart couldn't ignore her attraction she still had for Sasuke.

Leaning so close to her he whispered with a little smile on his lips in her left ear "Did you consider that it was just a lie so you lot would lower your guard and I can take my revenge really easily"

Of course that was what she was frightened of the most but something in her made her calm down and she relaxed her muscles a bit. She had the feeling he was just saying what he knew she was thinking.

Mustering up her courage, Sakuras face had now a serious expression. She grabbed his t-shirt and pulled him closer to her. It was now her turn to speak to his ear "If that would be the case I will have to kill you this time for sure!"

She let him go and walked hastily away. She couldn't face him now. She meant what she said but she knew it would just be like before when she tried to kill him and even though she was proud of herself for standing up to him, her heart just would not shut up and she was afraid he might hear it.

That was my Prologue. Sorry it's a little long.

Hoped you liked it. It was my first time writing a story and that in English too so sorry if it sounded a bit weird or anything.
