Only Human

Sorry guys I know that I am supposed to be updating the othe story, but I heard this song, and I HAD to write this one shot. So I hope you enjoy! It is both in Sakura and Sasukes POV.

Sasukes POV

The tiny droplets pelted the earth with force. My clothes were drenched as I walked through the muddy terrain, but I didn't really notice, nor did I care. I just kept walking. I was suffocating in that underground hell.

Flashback

My head was booming, threatening to explode. Two loud mouth idiots were arguing about the best route to take. It was rather annoying. I leaned against the wall and eventually zoned everyone and everything out. I rubbed my temples hoping that my headache would subdue.

My mind began to wander, something that I never am happy with. I needed to stay to my objective, and my revenge. That is all. I can't get side-tracked with petty thoughts and ideas that don't help me with my goals. Slowly, my companion's voices came into focus. While there were still blabbering on and on about the route, I decided to get some air. As I neared the door, the shouting stopped.

"Where are you going?" One hissed in my direction. I didn't even waste my time answering. I just simply walked out the door and let the fresh air engulf me and reawaken my senses.

End Flashback

My throbbing head slowly felt relief. I took in deep breath, held it in, and then released. A tiny droplet hit and then ran down my face. I held out my hand and looked up. Rain. How long had it been since I felt rain. It had been a good three to four months, maybe more. I began to walk. I didn't care where. Taking in another breath, I let the earthy smell dance around my nose, and fill my lungs. Orochimarus hideout smelt like earth since it was underground, but it was a dull, lifeless smell. But when rain would fall, you got a completely different smell. It was a smell of rejuvenation, and life. It reminded me of when I was younger. When my mother would watch me run through the puddles after it rained. Suppressed images and memories began to make themselves known, and a smile crept onto my face without me realizing it. I shook my head, making the memories disappear, along with the smile. This was not the time to let my mind wander.
