So it was over, the war that is.
But still, Sakura did not feel like she thought she would. The large gaping hole in her heart was not filled and it seemed only to tear bigger when he walked in.
She had been working at the medical tent, furiously rushing around, trying to heal fatally injured shinobi. Her heart felt heavy and old as she had already watched countless die at her hands.
She had been unable to save them. And she blamed only herself.
So when he walked in, she was a mess.
"Sasuke," she said, hoping to keep her voice steady and professional, but it didn't work. He heard his name, laced with emotions and spoken with a heavy heart.
As he sat down she took note of his injuries.
"Please remove your shirt," asked Sakura.
Sasuke lifted his shirt to reveal a large gash across his abdomen, threatening to become infected if not treated.
Slowly, Sakura placed her hands over his chest and delicately ran them over his skin as they glowed green with chakra.
As she healed, Sasuke never took his eyes off her face. For the first time in years, he was able to study it fully. Her previously large forehead was now average sized, her green eyes were still wide with curiosity but held a sorrowful glint in them.
As she finished, she handed him his shirt and moved to treat other patients but before she could move away, he grabbed her hand.
Looking back at him with surprised eyes she turned to face him.
"What is it?" she asked softly.
Sasuke did not reply and he kept his gaze averted.
Sighing, Sakura moved to leave again but this time, she was met with a crushing hug.
Sasuke's arms were wrapped around her waist and his face was buried in her pink locks.
"I missed you," he said gently, his voice muffled by her hair.
Smiling, Sakura threaded her arms around him and leaned her head into his neck.
"I missed you too."
And with those words, they both knew.
It was the time for new beginnings.
Ahh fluff. Review please!
