The Much Awaited Revelation
Onyx eyes, velvet like the night
Windswept raven hair, strands of the finest silk
Pale Celtic skin, smooth as silk

The thought earned a heavy sigh from Sakura. Propped in her bed, she still can't deny that up until now, her heart still holds deep feelings for her former teammate. Staring out the window to a group of stars above, she can't help but remember the tough yet charming face of the boy she long loved and the strong and handsome face of the man he is now. As much as she hates to admit, the old hope that someday, Sasuke will look at her as more than just his 'annoying' teammate but a woman she is still holds a lot of appeal.. even until now.
" Grow up Haruno!" Sakura murmured while shaking her head with disgust. "Your not a small, stupid girl anymore."
And with that, she rolled to the other side of her bed. Giving the twinkling stars and her childish dreams her back.
On the other side of Konoha, in the nearly deserted compound of the Uchiha's, a raven-haired jounin sat staring at a certain group of stars on his room's window while pondering the days events. The mission didn't quite turn out the way they'd expected. He, Shikamaru and three other ANBU's made the team that was dispatched by the Hokage to the country of waves to deliver an artifact. Not much was said on this artifact except that it holds great value on both countries, thus, the reason for the endless reminding and worrying of the two great leaders.As much as Sasuke was concern, he really didn't much care for the value of it just as long as he had a mission which also means a chance to further increase his power. Even as a child, he immediately loved the rush of adrenaline as an attacker approaches, or the silent pride in himself whenever he can finish a mission. It almost, almost gives him a sense of worth. Now, being the one handling the operation, he intended to make it smooth and perfect .Sure that it would be the fastest and thorough mission ever done. So, before the mission, he searched, analyzed and planned their journey, looking up even the slightest nook that may in harm their mission. But unexpectedly, the wind nins manage to pass some of the traps set out for them just in case they tried to follow them. He had absolutely underestimated them.
"sigh..." Well, there's no point in sulking just because it didnt go perfectly as planned.
Gazing up at the stars now, twinkling in the velvet sky, he could have sweared that he saw a figure in the bright circle of stars.Taking it as a sign of drowsiness, he grimaced and withdrawed to sleep.
