A/N Hey guys! Yes, it's finally here! Chapter 2! I'm trying to update at least once every week. Since I'm so busy with school, it seems like I only really have the time in the weekends. But don't worry, I do write a little during the week so I have something ready for you. Please bare with me, this is my first fanfiction. Thanks for the favs and follows! Please feel free to review, also!

Sakura POV

"Grrghmm." I let out an irritated groan. I've just woken up, lying in my bed. I look at the little clock on my bedside table. 6:30 in the morning. I really don't wanna wake up now, but I know I have to. I have to go to work at the hospital. I rub my eyes before finally sitting up in the bed, dumping my feet on the floor and standing up. I'm wearing my black pajama pants and a white tank top.

On my way to the kitchen, I notice the guest bedroom. Oh, right! Sasuke has been sleeping here! He must still be sleeping, I think to myself. But the door to the bedroom is open, and I just can't help but look inside. A feeling of shock rises inside of me. No Sasuke! The bed is nicely done. The sheets are neatly folded and there is only his bag filled with his belongings on the floor.

Well, I guess I'll see him later, then.

I move my way to the kitchen and start making breakfast. I just go for something light, so it's rice with eggs and a little bit of soy sauce just to give it some flavor.

I get ready to go to work. I take a quick shower, put on my medic-nin outfit and I'm out the door.

Sasuke POV

"Oi, Teme!" I don't have to look at the person to know who it is. That annoyingly loud voice can only belong to one person..

"Hn, dobe." I turn to face Naruto. He seems to have changed. He has gotten a little taller and his hair is shorter. He also looks a bit more mature, though he still looks childish in his way.

"What are you doing here?"

"Walking through the town."

"Idiot! I mean, what are you doing here in Konoha?"

"I have returned."

Naruto's eyes widens.

"You're back?! For real?"

"Aa."

"That's awesome! Great to have you back! By the way, have you seen Sakura yet?"

Sakura, I thought. She was still sleeping when I left this morning. I don't really know how I feel right now. Everything was so rushed, considering I had just seen her for the first time in 2 years. Now I'm staying with her.

"Hello?" My thought are interrupted when Naruto's yelling and waving his hands in front of my face.

I take a step to turn around.

"I gotta go see the hokage," I say, before disappearing.

Storyteller

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Sasuke Uchiha? Long time no see." Kakashi sits in his chair, reading one of his Icha Icha books, for probably the millionth time. Something never change, Sasuke thought.

"Hn."

Hm, something never change, Kakashi thought to himself.

"Are you planning on staying this time?"

"I am. At least for a while."

"And what are you planning on doing here? You're technically still a criminal, although I let you get away with it quite easily. I guess I can pull a few strings if you'd like to become a shinobi again."

"I don't really know." Sasuke hesitantly says.

"You won't be starting before you're ready. I'm just giving you the title."

"I guess I'd be fine with that. Now, I'm just trying to settle in this town again."

"When did you come back?"

"Last night."

"Oh," Kakashi raises his eyebrow. "and where did you sleep, then?"

Sasuke sighs. " I'm staying at Sakura's house."

At that sentence, Kakashi just raises his brow even further up.

"So, I'm assuming you've talked to her already?"

Sasuke nods.

"Alright, then. I guess that was all. Unless you have anything else to talk to me about?"

Sasuke shakes his head. "No."

He turns around and walks out the door.

Sakura POV

*sigh*

Gosh, I'm so tired. It's been such a long day and now I just can't wait to get home. It's 11:45 in the evening. I just gotta..gotta...gotta… and before I know it, my face has fallen on my desk and I am ready to sleep. Till I suddenly hear a person coming in my office.

"Sakura?" I recognize the voice right away. I look up.

"Sasuke? What are you doing here?"

"I just came to check up on you. Seems to have been a good idea.."

"Oh." I feel a little bit embarrassed of how I had fallen asleep on my desk right before.

"And also because I wanted to ask you something.." It's still hard to read his emotions, but there seems to be some melancholy in his voice.

"What is it?"

"I wanted to ask you if want to attach my new arm."

I blink. Once, twice. My eyes widen.

"Oh! Of course! Are you sure?"

He nods slowly. "I'm ready."

I stand up. "Well, then follow me." I motion him to follow me as I walk out the door. He silently follows behind.

Sasuke POV

We walk through the hall until we reach the destination. Sakura opens the door, we walk in and she closes it again. She motions for me to sit down on the chair. I do so. I see her walking into something that looks like a form of storage room. When she comes back, she holds out an arm.

"Alright, now I just need you to take your shirt off."

I glare at her.

"So that I can attach your new arm," she continues.

I do as she says and stay quiet. She watches and examines me carefully.

"Alright, now I am just going to bond your shoulder with the artificial arm. I am going to connect the nerves so that you'll be able to have control of it." I nod. It's kind of weird, but also nice to see her serious like this. See her professionally. She definitely has grown from being that annoying, little fangirl.

I watch her carefully sending chakra into her hands and attaching the arm. I can see my skin almost melting and blending into the arm. I am starting to sense some feeling in the new arm. I feel it becoming a part of my body.

"Done," she says. "Let's do a few tests."

I nod.

"Extend your arm." I do so and it works.

"Clench your fist." That works out nicely as well.

"Can you point your fingers out, one at a time?" Works like a charm. Wow, it's really odd having an arm again. I had gotten so used to walk around with only one arm. I'm not complaining, though. It is nice to have two arms I can use.

"Well, it seems to be working out," she says, giving me a small smile. "you are able to use your new arm now, but take it easy. At least for a few days, so that it truly can be incorporated into the body."

"Thank you," I say quietly. She gives me a small smile. "You're welcome. I'm just doing my job."

"Should we go to your home, then?"

"Yeah, it's getting late. Where were you today? You must have woken up early."

I give her a little nod.

"I just had to report to the hokage. I hope you didn't mind me eating some of your tomatoes and eggs."

She looks up at me with her big eyes.

"Oh, no, that alright. I didn't even notice. Just take whatever you want. You are my guest, after all. "

We walk the rest of the way in silence. The night is getting colder and I can see Sakura freezing, even though she tries to hide it. She was wearing quite short sleeves.

"Here," I say, giving her my thick kimono.

Her eyes widen.

"Oh, no, I'm fine, thank you."

I lift my eyebrows at her not so convincing words.

"Just take it."

She's a little hesitant, but after a while she accepts it.

"Thanks," she says quietly.

Ok, I promise there will be happening a little bit more in the upcoming chapters. I just didn't want to rush it. I think that with such a complicated situation, it is best if it happens more slowly. This is a SasuSaku-centret fanfiction, but there will be Naruto, Kakashi and other characters POV's.

Anyways, keep reading! Please fav, follow and review! Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, considering this is my first fanfiction.
