Disclaimer- I do not Own Naruto

-3 YEARS LATER-

Sakura sat down by a river. She had dyed her hair dark brown while traveling to different villages to grow stronger. Her eye color still remained green. Her hair was down to just above her elbows. Her outfit now consisted of black ninja sandals, black Capri's, a red thick-strap tank top, with a fishnet top over it. Her hair was pulled into a low ponytail while she was traveling her forehead protector was in her pack along with her Jonin vest.

Sasuke sat in a tree watching a girl (a.k.a. Sakura) sit by the river and rest. They were near the boarder of sound and leaf. Sakura was returning from a 2 year training journey.

Sakura could feel charka being masked, and eyes on her. Sakura looked down into the water and activated her bloodline the Reshogan. (I know Sakura doesn't have a bloodline but in my fan fictions she does)

It confirmed it she was being watch but by the person she least expected to see...Sasuke Uchiha. She deactivated her bloodline as quickly as she had activated it, she moved so she was now sitting under a tree. She opened her pack and took out a bento box that consisted of 4 rice balls and 4 tomatoes. Sakura looked up in the direction of Sasuke, and Sasuke started to panic had he been found out, no way he was Sasuke Uchiha this girl couldn't or shouldn't sense him. But he was wrong very wrong.

"Are you going to sit in that tree all day or come down?" Sakura asked

"I have plenty of food to share." she added

After debating for a moment Sasuke jumped down from his hiding place, and walked up to the girl and sat down.

"Do you know who I am?" Sasuke asked

"Yes, you're Sasuke Uchiha." Sakura replied

"And you are?" Sasuke inquired

Sakura froze then she remembered a friend she had met and she said she could us her identity if sakura was to get stuck.

"Tsuki Kuchigi." Sakura said

"You're not afraid of me?" Came the response

Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"No, why? Should I be?" sakura asked

"Yes, I'm a missing ninja and an S-rank criminal, and I could easily kill you." Sasuke answered

"Yet you haven't, and may I be so bold to ask why you have earned those names?" Sakura was trying her luck.

"I betrayed my home village and went to Orochimaru for power." Came his blunt answer

"But I fail see why you earned the title of S-rank criminal, I mean yes missing

ninja because you left your village but you can always go back, and isn't

Orochimaru that is an S-rank criminal, not you, you haven't done anything have you?" sakura finish and breathed in.

Sasuke shook his head no.

Sakura looked up at the sky and then back to Sasuke before continuing.

"I believe that you earn the title of S-class criminal when you have done anything from killing innocent lives to the destruction and killings of an entire clan." sakura continued earning a glare from Sasuke

"Sorry, I wasn't referring to the Uchiha massacre, a friend of mine had her clan killed in front of her." Sakura explained, she was really referring to herself and her clan being killed in front of her 2 years ago. (I know this doesn't really happen but it's my fan fiction) Sakura picked up a rice ball, Sasuke picked up a tomato. There were several minutes for silence which wasn't uncomfortable

"May I ask what you are doing so close to the sound boarder?" sasuke said keeping the politeness that Sakura had used

"I was traveling from another village to head back home; I guess I didn't realize I was this close to sound, I'll leave if you like." sakura said politely

"hn, no, it's fine." sasuke said monotone.

Sasuke took another tomato.

"You like tomatoes?" sakura inquired

"I do, and I haven't had them in a while." sasuke replied.

Sakura nodded in understanding.

"You know it's funny" sakura said trying to start a conversation

Sasuke raised an eyebrow

"What's funny?"

"I have 2 close friends one is a ramen obsessed, and the other loves tomatoes and got me addicted to tomatoes as well, well not as much as he likes them." sakura explained.

Sakura took a tomato.

'Sounds like me and Naruto and I remember getting Sakura slightly addicted to tomatoes as well.' Sasuke thought

"Um...Sasuke?" Sakura asked timidly

Sasuke raised another eyebrow

"What?" Sasuke asked a bit colder than he meant to.

"Well, I was wondering if you would spar me, I mean there are rouge ninja where I am going and well I thought if I could hold my own with you I won't get in that much trouble

...you don't have to if you don't want to." sakura said/explained hastily, after a minute Sasuke replied "alright".

Sakura smiled and thanked sasuke. The two walked away from there eating area to a more open area and took their fighting stances. Sakura knew that she had to choose her jutsu carefully or else sasuke may figure out that's it's her. Sasuke was impressed that this girl was able to keep up with him, but sasuke would never admit it. After 15 minutes Sakura messed up, she used a jutsu that she knew that only she had, she just hoped sasuke didn't see it. But boy was she wrong Sasuke saw it, his eyes narrowed and suspicion stared to form. He knew for a fact that sakura would never teach that jutsu to another person. The two stopped the spar and Sasuke walked over to sakura.

"How do you know that jutsu?" Sasuke demanded

"Huh?" Sakura asked trying and failing to sound innocent

"How do you know that jutsu?" Sasuke demanded again

"Um a friend of mine thought it to me." Sakura replied timidly and kicked herself mentally for screwing up.

"What's your friend's name?" Sasuke demanded once again, he was done playing games with this female

"h-Haruno s-Sakura from the hidden leaf village." Sakura stuttered trying to make it out alive

"Have you seen her lately?" Sasuke asked with calmness in his voice.

"Huh?" Sakura asked she was now completely confused she thought for sure Sasuke wouldn't say something like that.

Sasuke signed and began to tell the female what he was talking about.

"Sakura was a teammate and a close friend of mine, and probably the only one who believed in me in what I'm doing. She wasn't like most fan girls that chase me for my looks. Before I left she told me that she had started to like me more than a friend but not just because of my looks, she liked me for my abilities as a ninja and even my cold-hearted exterior. She is the only one that I let ever get close to me."

Sakura nodded.

"I should be going... thanks for everything Sasuke." Sakura said knowing full well that if Sasuke figured it out it was she would probably be dead. With that Sakura stood up and stared to walk away w/ her pack on her back.

"What about the other tomato?" Sasuke asked before sakura was out of range

"You can have it; I can always get more when I get home..." Sakura trailed off

"Sasuke?" sakura spoke after a minute

"hn" Sasuke said with a nod of his head letting her know he was listening

Sakura inhaled before continuing, she was giving herself away but she needed to let him know she still believed in him "good luck with what your doing, and maybe I'll see you around." "hn" Sasuke grunted.

Sakura continued walking away, once a safe enough distance she stared to jump from tree to tree, thus starting her journey back to Konoha. It took Sasuke a minute but he put two and two together.

"Shit" Sasuke cursed

'That was Sakura, she would be the only one to say something like that to me plus earlier with the jutsu and the ramen and tomato loving friend' sasuke thought

Sasuke immediately started to take off in the direction that sakura had taken but he never caught up to her.
