Chapter 1: The Midnight Return
Didn't mean to take you for granted
Didn't mean to show I don't care
Didn't mean to throw away this once in a lifetime of chance
Being with you
It was midnight. Almost all of the streets of Konoha are now deserted except for one. In this particular street, a boy of about 16 is walking silently. He is tall and muscular. He is pale yet not as pale as he was before. His raven locks covering most of his face. He has a backpack with him and it seems that he has no intentions of showing himself to anybody. This boy is the lone survivor of his clan. He is the one who betrayed Konoha not long ago just to gain power from one of the sworn enemies of Konoha in order to kill his brother. Yes, you may have already guessed who he is. He is of course Uchiha Sasuke.
Now one may wonder why he returned seeing that he is already reluctant to go back even with Itachi dead was because of Sakura. The last time he saw Sakura was during their last battle about three months ago. He was sure that he injured Sakura so bad that there was a slim possibility of her being able to survive that. But he knew better, sure Sakura was pretty weak and useless back in their genin days but there were times that she proved that she could be one hell of a strong and stubborn girl. He was quite impressed to see how much she had grown over the past years.
Not only was it physically (everybody already noticed that) but also mentally and emotionally. He was also taken aback when she tried to fight him with all her might which she wouldn't even dare think of back then. Before, Sakura was scared of him and she even agrees to everything that he says back then. But of course, he, Uchiha Sasuke, will not be beaten up by a weak and useless fan girl and teammate of his even if she did became stronger. He was still stronger than her anyways or so he thought. Well, he doesn't really think that she is weak and useless. He just says that to himself because he doesn't want to think that he is really in love with her. It is pretty dumb of him to still deny it when he already came back just for her but oh well, we all know how stubborn he is. He just doesn't want to hurt his Uchiha pride.
So back where we started, he was on his way to his old apartment when he stopped dead on his tracks. Why? Well he saw the person who made him go back, the person he always thinks of every night, the person who haunts him in his dreams aside from his family. Yup, you're right again. She is Haruno Sakura. Sakura just came back from the hospital where she drained almost all of her chakra again. She was so tired that she didn't even notice another presence in her surroundings. She just wanted to go home and sleep so badly. Fatigue really was getting the best of her again.
"Come on Sakura! Just step a little more and you could already sleep in that soft bed of yours," Sakura said encouraging herself. The thought of her bed seemed to cheer her up in spite of being really sleepy so she took faster steps to the street.
Sasuke was watching her not far from where she was. He barely stopped himself from carrying Sakura to her house. 'Hn. Never thought she'll still be awake at this time,' he thought.
Sakura was still walking groggily when she tripped into a rock, she was too sleepy to use her ninja reflexes that she already expected herself to hit the ground but she was surprised that a pair of strong arms caught her. And then all went pitch black.
