OTP: SasuSaku

"We need to speak about the intentions of letting your sorry ass out of this cell." Tsunade spoke to Sasuke, folding her arms and tapping her foot.
"So you're going to let me out of this cell? After everything I have done to nearly destroy the village?" Sasuke said in a groggy voice.
"If you want out of this cell, I'd expect you wouldn't want to want to bring that up." She took in a deep breath, "Naruto is bound to become Hokage soon enough, I just want to get it through your mind once he does he is going to let you out and being a idiot he is… that could be a total mistake."
"Then why let me out if it's going to be like that?"
She bent over and closed up to his face. Making a disgusted face she continued to talk, "Because I know what to say to you and how to get you to prove your worthy to our village."
"How?"
"A mission," She bent back up, "I will be sending you on a mission to test your power and worthiness to the village." She turned around and walked to the door that was still being held open by the Shinobi. "I will find a mission perfect for you."
Then she finally walked out, and the door shut.
Days passed and Tsunade still hadn't gave Sasuke a mission.
But why would he accept an offer to be back in this village..? Just a few months ago he wanted to kill everyone in it.
But it was for Itachi, Itachi wanted him back in the village once he had gotten his "revenge" But no,
Madara ruined that. He came along and filled his head with,
Confusion
Depression
Hatred
Brain washed, Sasuke thought the village hated the Uchiha clan.
But after seeing Shisui's feelings from Naruto reach him he knew what Itachi believed in and the love he wanted dearly. The lies Madara filled his head about Konoha. He took the love for the village as much as his brother did.
Madara gave Uchiha a bad name.
But Sasuke can still change that.
For his mom,
For his dad,
For his brother,
For his Clan.
Sasuke sitting still on his bed he knew he was trusted in the village. Killing three threats to the village. (Orochimaru, Deidara, and Itachi) As well as Madara with Naruto gave him the full name as a hero.
What Itachi wanted,
But for his crimes and being a wanted Ninja for three straight years he had to take responsibility.
He knew he was trusted
But not as much as he wished.
He was locked up in a powerful cell in case he decided to change his mind and destroy Konoha.
"Sasuke-kun?"
He couldn't sense anyone coming near him so he looked up, "Aa, Sakura" She walked into his cell. She smiled at him, sadly. Then walked towards him with a bento in hand,
"Everything okay?"
"Yes," Sasuke looked back at the ground.
"Well I haven't been back here in a few days. I hope everything is alright."
"It is Sakura,"
"…" She placed the box in front of him; he looked up with a slightly confused face on.
"The guards allowed you to bring that in?"
"They inspected it. Besides… It's your birthday."
Oh.
Cupping his forehead in his right hand, "What time is it?"
"Naruto will be here soon with Kakashi and Sai at 12 pm."
"I asked what time it is." He grumbled,
"Already in a horrible mood?" She pulled out her cell phone, no service in this building of course.
(FYI: Yes in the NARUTO world, they have cell phones and Bluetooth's... I know what your thinking.)
"It is 11:48 pm." She said with a rare attitude, at least for him.
Still, he never had time to think about his birthday. Or even realized the days going by for the least, most of his time in the cell he was being talked down by superiors and seeing his friends.
"Hn," He was starring at the box on the floor,
She laughed, "You can't eat till they get here." His stomach growled. He could smell the food a mile away. Better than the cruddy junk they give him here.
He sighed,
"Well it's now 11:50, they should be here soon. I also got you a gift of course." Reaching into her back pouch she pulled out a wrapped up box with a card and placed it next to the lunched bento box.
She smiled at him, it seemed like he was in the jail cell for years now. The war started in winter ended around February. Locked up for about 6 months now.
"Sakura"
"Yes, Sasuke-kun?"
"Thank you," She paused, like a deer in headlights, blushing like a child. She looked away.
"Your… Your welcome." Giggling, they were shortly interrupted by the cell's door being opened,
"Hello!" Sai smiled, as usual his fake smile. And how obvious Sasuke never liked the new edition to Team 7. He put down a gift next to Sakura's
"Hello Sasuke. Happy birthday," Kakashi as well brought a present in. "How does it feel to be 17?"
He shrugged,
"Of course, nothing more, nothing less from the Uchiha himself."
And last but not least.
"17? I can't believe I am still the only one 16…" Naruto scratched his head "Here, I got you a gift to," Naruto also placed the gifts next to the others.
Sakura sat on her knees and the boys sat with their legs crossed in front of Sasuke. Looking at them to pick a present he sighed,
"…Can I eat first?"
Soooo school is starting soon… next week to be exact.
Grrreeaat…
