Hello guys!
So even though I'm busy with work I'm squeezing in a fast chapter, so thanks for the reviews, I feel flattered! I am intending to finish this fic, so tips are always welcome!
Oh and I do not own Naruto, I'd like to though.
Enjoy!
Somewhere in the Fire Country was a bridge, nothing special you'd say. But it was this bridge that twisted fates, changed lives even. Her pink hair danced in the light breeze, it was something he never got used to. The silence was tense. Sakura broke that silence.
''Why?''
''Because there is no need for her.''
With that being his answer he picked up the girl's dead body and threw it in the water below them. No emotion, he probably didn't even feel sorry for her. It was cold on one hand, but a good sign on the other. She sighed. At least he didn't have feelings for this girl.
He turned around and started walking. Sakura hesitated but chased after him. It was strange but she felt relieved. She was with him now, after all those years. It didn't matter to her what his reasons were nor his goals, just walking beside him was enough for her.
Sasuke's mind was troubled. He frowned and noticed his eye was still bleeding. To him, she was a useful tool, he thought. For a second, thoughts filled his head, memories even. He shook his head, as if trying to shake the thoughts out. Maybe he just didn't like admitting his weaknesses, the reason why his chidori pierced Karin and not her. Really, he had aimed at the pink haired kunoichi but for some reason..
''Sasuke…-kun?'' it felt weird saying the last word. No, it even felt weird to pronounce his name. Back in Konoha, his name was never said anymore as if it was forbidden.
Sasuke looked at her as they kept on walking.
''Hn?''
''I can heal your eye if you want to''
''I'll be fine.''
They started walking faster. He knew they were looking for her, this would change the rest of her life and her reputation. He suddenly stopped and pulled her back.
''Hey, what-''
He pulled her headband off and held it in his hand. With little effort he scratched the metal plate and handed it over to her.
''Just to make sure.'' he turned around and started walking again.
She didn't say anything. The headband was still in her hand, the Konoha symbol was scratched, just like all the missing-nin wore their headbands. Sasuke didn't even wear his headband anymore. Apparently, he didn't see the need of it. Sakura tied hers on her head again, she couldn't throw it away. Yet.
When the night cloaked the forest in darkness, the two found shelter in a small cave. Sasuke had left to find water and so she had decided to try and make a fire. While collecting branches she noticed him walking back into the cave. He even catched a fish, she smiled and walked back. Something she learned in these past years was that his kindness housed in small things. So she was content.
After dinner they went to sleep. A few moments ago it had started to rain. Sakura twisted and turned but couldn't sleep. From the sound of it, he was sleeping soundly. She sat up and watched him sleep, his eye still hadn't stopped bleeding.
Without thinking she crawled next to him. The sight of him was so peaceful. At least he didn't frown in his sleep. Slowly she lowered her head closer to his chest. His heartbeat was slow. Her feelings just took over and she rested her head on his chest.
''Sleep Sakura..'' he whispered.
