Love in Return
Sequel to 'Gomenasai'
A grunt of pain was followed by a yawn, as the last-surviving Uchiha tried to steady himself, only to twitch in pain and fall back into the comfortable bedsheets.
Wait…..bedsheets? Uchiha Sasuke's eyes snapped open. He took in his surroundings-a beeping machine in a room of white.
He closed his eyes as last nights events came flooding back to him.
Konoha…blood…Sakura's shocked face……
Wait, Sakura!
He suddenly jerked himself upwards, but after experiencing excruciating pain, was forced to sink into the bedsheets again.
"You shouldn't force yourself."
Sasuke turned his head to see a nurse rearranging some flowers in a vase.
"Especially after returning in the state you were in." She said, turning to look at him.
He looked down at his injuries, but found none.
"Sensei healed you already, but your body aches because you over-exerted your muscles."
"Sensei….?"
"Gomen ne, Uchiha-san, but I'm not allowed to disclose my sensei's name."
Sasuke sighed.
Why do i even care who her sensei is?
He decided to ask a more reasonable question.
"How long have I been here?"
"About three days now." She said, taking some sheets out of a cupboard.
Three days? I wonder when she'll visit me……
"Good day to you, Uchiha-san." The nurse said as she walked out of his room, shutting the door behind her.
Hn, no point in thinking about that. She's probably still in love with me, and still weak, too.
He wasn't aware of how wrong he was.

"Hey Forehead-girl!" A blond kinoichi waved to her pink-haired friend.
"Oh, hi Ino-pig." Sakura said, smiling.
"You won't believe what I heard!" She said, pausing dramatically.
"What did u hear?"
"Sasuke-kun is back!"
"I know." Sakura said, her smile fading. She stared at the ground.
Ino frowned quizzically, obviously dissatisfied at her friends lack of reaction.
"Aren't you happy?"
"Oh! Ummm…yea, of course." She said, faking a smile.
"I know you're not that happy, but I was really hoping to compete against you for him!" She said jokingly.
Sakura smiled.
"Well, you can have him, Ino!" She said, joking too.
Ino stiffened.
Sakura smiled deviously.
"But of course, your heart is probably already set on a certain lazy-ass genius……"
Ino blushed.
"I don't like him!" She said, in attempt to stop her face from going even redder than it was already.
"Sure…..I believe you….." Sakura said, winking.
"Sakura!" Ino screamed, her face practically glowing.
Sakura laughed.
"Well, you had better go, I heard that you have a team meeting with Chouji and Shikamaru now, I don't want you to be late for him- I mean them….."
"Gggrrrrr….Sakura!" Ino growled, jumping onto a tree branch.
With one last blush, she was gone.
Sakura's smile faded.
She turned around to stare in the direction of the hospital. The wind blew fiercely around her, as if threatening to carry her away, but the reminiscing girl didn't notice. All of her thoughts were focused on one thing.
"Sasuke, why did you have to come back now?"

"And so, with everyone else knocked out, the completion of the mission rested on my shoulders alone. Yes, me, Uzumaki Naruto, soon to be the next hokage after Tsunade-baachan drops dead! So I……."
Sasuke groaned. He was having the worst first week back ever. How was it so bad? Well, on the second day of his gaining-consciousness, he had nearly all his healed bones rebroken after Ino totally launched herself at him. She was pulled off by a very bored looking Shikamaru, and then proceeded to tell him about their relationship and how he had dumped that 'barbarous sand girl' for 'yours truly'.
Oh, and not to mention the blond idiot, who was currently raving his head off on the chair beside him.
Groaning again, he proceeded to smother himself with his pillow, drowning out the dobes loud voice.
He had felt his head go all heavy and darkness starting to surround him, before the pillow was finally pulled off him by a very shocked and scared nurse, who started muttering about 'now he's trying to commit suicide……'
"Aw man! What's wrong with you teme? I was just getting to the good part!"
Sasuke replied with a 'hn.'
"Oh Well, anyways, I was going down, but then Sakura-chan…."
"Sakura?" He asked, jolting to attention, "what about Sakura?"
"Oh, well, you know how she's Tsunade-baachan's apprentice and all…."
She the Gondaimes apprentice?Well, I never knew she had it in her……
"Hey, what's with that look, teme?" Naruto asked, his eyebrows narrowed in confusion.
"Hn. Nothing dobe, probably just your imagination." He replied.
"Oh right, well- hey wait a sec……." Naruto got this evil glint in his eye.
"You like Sakura-chan, right?"
Sasuke felt himself blush.
"I don't."
Yea right! His inner self commented. Didn't you already admit to yourself that u liked her?
"Sure you don't, teme…….that's why you became so interested in her training…."
"I'm only interested because she's my teammate, dobe."
"Heh, I'm only joking, of course…." Evil glint in the eye again.
His face suddenly got serious.
"But Sakura-chan has changed, and she just began smiling again, so don't make her sad, or I will hurt you." He turned to walk out of the door.
"She changed?"
"Yea. You'll see once you get out of this place." He said, closing the door.
"She changed, eh?" Sasuke thought, settling back into the blankets.
"I wonder how…."
