Sakura rubbed her head. "Sasuke-kun, where are we?"
Despite feeling a little dazed himself, Sasuke helped steady his wife as he took in his surroundings. "We're home."
She looked around. "Home? Naruto's face—not even Kakashi-sensei's face is on that mountain, and look, no buildings," she said with a snort. "Maybe twenty years ago it was home."
Sasuke smirked, "then it's an improvement."
Sakura placed her hands on her hips, demanding an explanation from her husband.
He raked a hand through his hair in frustration. Time-travel jutsu was a fairly new discovery for Sasuke and the technicalities of the jutsu was far too complicated to explain. It was just bad timing that Sakura walked in when he was trying it out. But he had a bigger problem to worry about now in the form two figures walking his way. He tried to pull Sakura away, but she wouldn't budge.
Clearly, she'd also noticed the approaching pair as a light gasp escaped her lips. "Sasuke-kun, look!" She pointed at the two who'd already noticed them and stopped in their tracks. "It's us! I-I can't believe it," she stuttered, not even trying to hide her shock.
"Tch." Sasuke tried to hide the pink rising to his cheeks from the warm feeling he got seeing his younger self walking next to his future wife.
Now, the two thirteen-year-olds were staring at them, their eyes wide, mouths twisted in disbelief.
"Who are you?" genin-Sasuke asked with a scowl. He raised his arm in front of young Sakura's chest, shielding her from the suspicious-looking ninja.
Sasuke smirked at the boy's reaction. He always did feel the urge to protect Sakura. It was only years after he'd left the village that he realized why her safety and well-being was so important to him.
Little Sakura's cheeks were flushed with pink as she stared at Sasuke. "So handsome..." she mumbled. "And he looks just like Sasuke-kun!"
"Kyaaa!" his wife squealed as she leapt from his side, practically jumping at genin-Sasuke. She wrapped her arms around him, and rubbed her cheek on his head. "Oh, Sasuke-kun! Look at how cute you used to be!"
Young Sasuke's face, lodged between her breasts, went red as a tomato. "H-HEY! GET OFF ME!" His protests fell on deaf ears, as she could not contain herself. She kept crushing him tighter, nearly squeezing all the air out of him.
Meanwhile, genin-Sakura approached Sasuke with wide eyes. She seemed so happy that his heart skipped a beat. Despite being married for ten years, Sakura still looked at him that way.
"U-umm, are you Sasuke-kun from the future?" the young girl asked hesitantly.
"Aa."
She lightly scratched at her cheek with her index finger, looking away from time to time. "And that woman over there," she asked, indicating Sakura with a nod of her head, "is me?"
"Aa."
Genin-Sakura smiled a little more and said with a giggle, "It's nice to know that Sasuke-kun doesn't change. Still with those one syllable responses." At Sasuke's surprising chuckle, heat rose to her cheeks and she dared to ask, "Since you two came here together does–does that mean Sasuke-kun and I will–will–"
Sasuke could feel Sakura's eyes on him, watching him talk to her younger self, genin-Sasuke still trapped in her arms. When he glanced her way, he saw a soft, tender smile lift her lips. The boy stopped squirming as he too appeared invested in watching his older self and his teammate converse.
Sasuke tapped the girl's wide forehead with his index and middle finger, effectively stopping her mid-sentence. "You'll find out next time," he said, smiling at her.
Young Sasuke's mouth fell open as he watched the scene unfold. "Y-you... That poke... It means..."
Sakura put him down, ruffled his hair, and stood next to her husband.
Pressing her palm against her forehead, young Sakura flushed the prettiest shade of pink, and her green eyes glittered with wonder.
Sasuke watched the young girl's speechless reaction with a warm feeling in his heart. It was quick, but his and young Sasuke's eyes met, exchanging a knowing look.
Sakura smiled and winked at her younger self as her husband made a one-handed sign. They both vanished in a distorted swirl, leaving no trace behind.
Young Sasuke stood there, still reeling. But as the shock wore off, he smirked. Good to know my older self is just as cocky as always.
Looking over at Sakura's back, he noticed the white circle of her clan's insignia. He was sure his eyes were playing tricks on him, but he could've sworn that, for a moment, where that white circle stood was an Uchiha crest.
Sasuke didn't really need the proof, but this just solidified his resolve—one day, he was going to marry Sakura Haruno.
A/N:
This will be a collection of SasuSaku and SasuSakuSara fics. I will be compiling the flash fics I write on tumblr after I or my beta finished polishing them here. I already have a number of them lined up, and I'll be posting one every week!
This is my first ever SasuSaku fic with real interactions between the two. I've been writing for nearly eight years, but I've only gotten to writing for my OTP now. lol. Let me know what you think by leaving me a review!
