DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. I JUST DO NOT OWN NARUTO IN GENERAL.
The pink haired kunoichi jumped from tree to tree as fast as she could. Dodging weapons thrown at her simultaneously. Her body ached from the beating of her opponent who was now chasing her with one main goal- to kill her. The next branch she landed on was not able to support her weight. It broke causing her to lose her momentum and eventually, the weak Sakura fell onto the ground. The crash added more pain to what she was feeling and it made her give out a scream. She made her way to the nearest tree and leaned on it for support. She was helpless and she admitted it to herself. She was too weak to move and to fight back after the countless battles she had before her present opponent. Healing herself would be a great idea, but her chakra was not enough. She knew that what happens next may lead to her demise.
A few moments later, the man chasing after her landed about 4 ft away from where she was. His eyes full of lust to kill focused on her. She tried to stand, tried to regain her balance but she could not despite her efforts. He quickly moved towards her, she shut her eyes waiting and accepting her fate.
"Am I dead? Why didn't it hurt?…" she thought to herself.
She opens her eyes and sees someone in front of her. Slowly, Sakura looks up. She knew the person was man. She examined his garments starting from the bottom. He was wearing a dark shade of blue coloured pants with a violet belt paired with a white shirt that covered part of his neck. He was facing the other way so she could not see his face but she had an idea of who it was. His hair was raven black and it spiked in a different messy manner.
He turned his head a bit and tilted it. Sakura saw his eyes, those red eyes that she had longed to see. Eyes of someone who remained in her heart no matter what change he underwent. The present situation felt so nostalgic. It happened before. There he was, protecting her from the enemy.
Sakura gulped in both amazement and horror. "Uchiha Sa-"
"UCHIHA SASUKE" says the man who is now being held by the neck. Sasuke looks back at the man who was chasing Sakura earlier. Sasuke tightened his grip on the unknown assailant's neck before throwing him with force across the clearing. Dust from the ground scattered and created a cloudy surrounding around the man. When the dust cleared, the man got up and charged at Sasuke but before he knew it, the Uchiha was right infront of him, ready with his katana. Sasuke pierces the man's abdomen in a speed that was too fast for the man to counter. Sasuke turns the katana, making the blade carve more into the insides of the man who was once lustful to kill, just to make it more painful. As soon as the man was dead, Sasuke kicks him off the blade of his katana. His body falls to the ground with blood flowing out making a red pool. Sasuke returns his Katana to its case and attaches it to his belt.
Sakura just looked at him in astonishment. She didn't know what to feel or what to think. All she knows is the highly dangerous Sasuke Uchiha was in front of her.
Sasuke then starts to walk towards Sakura.
"Stay Away!" she shouts with the remaining strength she has.
Sasuke ignores her, instead, he takes her by her waist and puts her over his shoulder. Carried like a man selling a sack of whatever his product was.
"Sasuke! Let me go!" she shouts as she struggles. No matter how much she moved, Sasuke just wouldn't put her down. Instead of wasting the energy she had left, she decided to keep her mouth shut and just rest on his shoulder. Sasuke started running fast then launched himself into air. He started leaping from one branch to another. The breeze that came with Sasuke's speed made Sakura shake a little. Sasuke stopped and Sakura looked around, she was still on his shoulder. Sakura looked down and saw plain wood but they were still on a tree. Sasuke kicked and a door flung open. They were in an abandoned tree house. Sasuke lets Sakura down gently and made her lean against a wall.
"We're staying here for the night." Sasuke says in his deep velvet voice. After a long period of time, those were the first words he told Sakura. She really didn't know how or what to feel. She was confused, angry, depressed, and even happy. It was all mixed emotions and she wanted to cry for some reason. She held back her tears, gulped and asked.
"Sasuke kun. Wh-"
"I'll be back later" Sasuke says while flinging open the door and leaving. Once again, Sakura got cut off.
"He dumped me here and just left? Without even saying something connected to why he's here? Helping me?" She started talking to herself. Sakura now knows that the feeling she had was anger - anger for leaving her behind. Sakura leaned her head on the wooden wall and started thinking of what to do.
"Shall I leave? Shall I wait for him? I have too many questions to ask. TOO MANY" she sighed as she held on to her head and gripped on some of her hair. She then hit a wound on her head making her whimper. She decided to rest, recharge her chakra so she would be able to heal her wounds and injuries, and wait for Sasuke so that she can bombard him with questions that she wanted to be answered.
While Sakura was thinking of all the possible questions to ask, she fell asleep. She woke up a few hours later, still with no Sasuke around. She has regained most of her chakra so she started healing her major injuries. She was about to move to the next one when the door flung open. There stood a bloodied Sasuke, one eye shut closed while his left hand held on to his bleeding right arm. Sakura immediately stands and approaches Sasuke to help support him but he gives her a glare. She stops for a bit, glares back, and continues to move towards Sasuke. She puts Sasuke's arm on her shoulder and slowly helps him to a chair.
"What happened?" She asks as she looks at Sasuke with concerned eyes. She waited for an answer even if she knew she wouldn't get one. Before starting with any other wound, she started with the cut above his eye. After healing it, she kneels beside him and starts examining the wound on his arm. She looks up at Sasuke and sees him shut his eyes and grit his teeth. She knew he was in pain.
Sakura puts a hand over Sasuke's wounded arm and heals it with a medical jutsu. The green light emitted from her palm enabled her to see the wound clearly. Though her chakra still wasn't full, she wanted to heal his wound badly. It was a form of thanks for what Sasuke has done earlier for her. Sasuke clenched his fist as the medic nin healed him. The wound dried up in a few minutes. Sakura let out a sigh after successfully stopping the bleeding. Sasuke knew that she was still weak and tired from the previous encounter she had.
Sasuke still had wounds on his body. Sakura reached for the bottom of his shirt to take it off but Sasuke quickly caught and gripped her wrist.
"I can take it off myself" he says as he glares at her.
"Sorry". Sakura immediately pulls her hand away.
He struggled to take his shirt off on his own. Sakura just watched because Sasuke would scold her if she tried to help. As he lifted his shirt up to his head and finally removed it, his torso was revealed.
It was perfect. Toned muscles, smooth skin, PERFECTION. That was the only word Sakura used in her mind the describe Sasuke's upper body.
"Can I… heal your wounds now Sasuke?" she asks. Sasuke looked at her with his trademark blank face and nodded. Sakura proceeded to heal his wounds starting from neck down. She kept her head down in order for Sasuke not to see her blushing face. It would be embarrassing if he did. After healing wounds on his torso, Sakura moved her hand lower to heal the wounds in Sasuke's abdomen. Sakura's eyes were concentrated on Sasuke's stomach until something gave her the urge to look at his crotch. She gave in to that voice telling her to. She glanced at his area and quickly moved her eyes back to where it was supposed to be looking at. Her face was glowing red, but still Sasuke couldn't see.
"Swwoooosh" wind followed as Sasuke quickly grips Sakura's wrist again.
"NO NO NO. DID HE NOTICE?" she started to breath heavily and shake.
"That's enough" he says still gripping her wrist.
Sakura, still looking down, just nods and pulls her hand away. Sasuke put his shirt back on and stood up leaving Sakura still kneeling on the floor.
"Heal yourself. You need it much more than I do" Sasuke says as he walks away and positions himself beside a window.
She looks at Sasuke, shocked at what he just said.
"Does he… care for me?" A smile spread across Sakura's face. Sasuke knew she was smiling even if he wasn't looking at her.
Sakura goes back to where she was before Sasuke arrived and continued to heal herself. She couldn't help but glance at Sasuke every few seconds and Sasuke felt it.
"Is there a problem?" Sasuke turns his head to face Sakura just in time to catch her looking at him.
"No-none!" She looks back at her wounds.
"It's late. You should go to rest" He says without looking away.
Sakura tried to concentrate on her wounds but she remembered about bombarding Sasuke with questions. She gulped, took a deep breath and started her question before looking back at him. "Sasuke. Why are you he-"
Just when she looks up, Sasuke was right infront of her. His Onyx eyes looked straight at Sakura's shining emerald eyes. She was speechless. He was only few inches away from her face and she could actually feel the air he breathed out. Sakura's heartbeat started to increase, she wanted to look away but she couldn't. He just continued to stare at her, piercing him with those eyes.
She is beautiful. Sasuke admitted that to himself but not to Sakura. She blossomed into a much more beautiful lady. Her beauty wasn't the only thing Sasuke admired about her. She was strong too. She was no longer the Sakura who cried when things went wrong. Of course, Lady Tsunade herself trained Sakura. She became strong physically and mentally. But also emotionally.
They were still staring at each other's eyes without even blinking.
"Don't look away! Make him look away first!" her inner self screams at her. But she could no longer take it. Sasuke lifts his hand and pokes Sakura with his pointing finger on her forehead. Sakura's eyes widened at realizing his gesture.
"I-It's late go to sleep!" She says as she turns her head away. Sasuke looks down at and notices Sakura's chest. She's no longer flat chested. Sakura's mind was too clouded to notice Sasuke staring at her mounds. Sasuke couldn't help but give a half smile.
On the other hand, Sakura was still processing what just happened.
"Was that something to be happy about? DID HE NOTICE MY LARGE FOREHEAD? WHY WOULD HE DO THAT" She was confused again. Ino made fun of her forehead a lot but it was nothing compared to what Sasuke did. She completely misinterpreted his gesture. She turns back to see Sasuke gone and back where he was.
Without saying a word, Sakura lies down, faces the direction opposite to where Sasuke was and closed her eyes.
"Goodnight… Sakura" her eyes open as she hears Sasuke greet her. Instead of replying, she closes her eyes again and drifts into sleep.
