I know it took me forever to update. I just got a major writers block and got busy. Finally I had an idea while listening to my ipod.
Chapter 2:
The broken bond and the broken soul
A few months later Sakura was walking through the streets of Kohona picking up various medical things that Tsunade needed. Even though she was an Anbu member and an assassin now she still trained under Tsunade with medicine in her free time. "Sakura," a cold voice said behind her. "Uchiha," She replied almost as cold, she really didn't want to deal with him right now. All he did was brush past her and continue walking in the direction of the training grounds, she could feel the presence of Anbu following. It seemed at this point they didn't even bother to conceal their chakra around him. She chuckled and took the medicine she bought back to the Hokage.
"Tsunade-Sama! I have the medicines you asked for... Um, Tsunade-sama?" Sakura asked looking behind the piles of paperwork on the Hokage's desk. "Go away!" came the muffled reply. "Wake UP!" Sakura yelled. Tsunade shot up in her seat and looked around. "Huh? Where am I?... Oh. Never mind. Thanks Sakura." Sakura shook her head and smiled. "Its ok Tsunade-sama." Tsunade wiped the sleep from her eyes, "You don't have any mission right now, so do you mind helping out at the hospital? I would go, but..." She looked at the mountains of paperwork, "I need to get this done before Shizune hides my sake again." Sakura sweat dropped, "Sure Tsunade-sama." "Thanks Sakura" Tsunade mumbled before she fell back asleep.
Sakura sighed as she grabbed her white doctors coat. "Sakura, here are your patients for the day." A lady said handing her a stack of folders. "Thanks." She mumbled walking off. 'What's with all the damn folders today?' she thought as she walked to the first exam room.
"Hey Sakura" Naruto mumbled as she walked in, he was her last patient for the day. "Hey Naruto. How did the mission go?" She asked looking as his left arm, which was broken in 3 places. He winced as she set on of the bones back in plcae, "It went as planned. Took us a lot less time to assainate him then we thought." "well thats good to hear" She began healing the bones in his arm with her chakara, her hands glowing a soft green. Naruto watched her, "I don't see why you choose to be an assassin Sakura. You make a wonderful medic-" "Because Naruto. It's what I chose to do. I don't want to sit in this hospital forever. Being an assassion give me, how to say it, a sense of pride I guess." She looked at his arm. "Well thats taken care of, anything else Naruto?" He smiled lightly and lifted up the left side of his shirt, "Just that gash. Other than that its just scratches and abrasions." She smiled at him and began healing it. He watched in fasination as her chakra began fusing everything back together, till finnaly his skin joined and it looked as if nothing happened there. "Thanks Sakura. Ill see you later Ok?" She smiled at him, "Ok Naruto, you be careful you hear!" He smiled as he walked out of the room.
She walked out of the hospital and looked up towards the sky. 'I think I'll go to my favorite spot for a while. It's not late enough for me to go home.' She thought as she took to the roof tops, only to arrive at her destination,the third hokage's head statue, minutes later,. She sat down and pulled her knees under her chin, wrapping her arms around her legs.
She sat there for hours before she felt a chakra signature behind her. "Uchiha." She said, not taking her eyes off the vanishing sun set. He shoved his hands into his pockets and replied, "Sakura." She said nothing to him after that, too caught up in her own thoughts. Until they were broken a few minutes later with him quietly saying, "What happened to you.Sakura?" She rolled her eyes and replied in a monotone voice, "People change Uchiha. Did you really expect me to be any different? It's been 6 years. And you expect me to be the same?" "Hn" He said before they both watched the sun disapear behind the horison. "I must take my leave now, Maybe some other time." She said standing and making her way to her apartment.
Every evening for 2 weeks they had the same meeting, mostly without words. Watching the sun set, then Sakura leaving. But tonight was different. Sasuke walked up to where Sakura always sat, only to find her majestically dancing around softly.
Ignoring what we've felt,
Overlooking what we've done,
No awkward silences, no hiding any truths
Ignoring what we've felt,
Overlooking what we've done,
What do you say?
She didn't even see him as he walked closer to him. She appeared to have her eyes closed as she moved to the music playing in her head. Never missing a beat as she sang.
We say what we feel,
Then we stop ourselves,
And just walk away.
Never looking back,
Loving every second of it,
We just walk away.
As her song ended she opened her eyes and for the first time she noticed Sasuke was standing not even 5 feet away from where she way. He didn't say anything to her and just looked up at the sunset, like they did every night. But his head has unanswered questions running through it, "Why was she dancing tonight and not any other night? and her voice, I have never heard her sing like that before. Why only tonight?' Sakura stood there, no emotions on her face as she said. "Tonight was the night that everything happened." She paused, "I dont even know why I'm talking to you. It's not like you care" "I never said that." Sasuke said, not realizing the words slipped out of his mouth. They both said, "Hn" and walked their own sperate ways. Knowing that they would be back tomorrow. Just like always.
The next morning Sakura walked into the hospital only to be told to go home. It was a slow day but not to go far in case something happened. She scoffed. They knew where she would be if she wasn't working in the hospital or on a mission. Either at her apartment, or at her favorite spot.
As she walked into her apartment she noticed just how bad she needed to clean. But today she just wasn't in the mood. As she fell onto her bed she looked at the old picture of team 7. The glass on the frame had been shattered by a kuni that had been aimed at Sasuke's face. She chuckled thinking about how she couldn't keep her emotions under control. She would be angry by day and heartbroken my night. She had driven herself to the point of insanity, and she wasn't going back there again.
She turned her attention to her weapons collection that took up half her room. She really needed to thank Tenten for helping her master everything.
Oks done. Now don't forget to R&R.
