Helloooooo! Welcome to Chapter 2! Awesome that you've made it this far! :D

Sasuke: What are you trying to say they can't read now?

I am not!

Sasuke: Yes you are. You're calling them illiterate.

I am just excited that they decided to continue my story rather than drop it off the face of the Earth forever and ever.

Sasuke: RoCk-ThIs-PaRtY153 doesn't own Naruto.

If I did, you and Sakura would be together already you dumb shit.

Sasuke: I do love her, Kishimoto is just keeping me from getting to Sakura to inflict more suffering on me.

Sakura: -walks in- Hi hi readers! Have a great read!

-Chapter 2: First Precautions

Sasuke side glanced at the woman, or flower, or…whatever she wanted to be called, and over looked her slowly. She was still wearing the white body suit, with a black hood. The cape dropped down to her thighs and she wore nothing on her bare feet. Her long, waist length pink hair, now dried extended laid relaxed against her shoulders and back, and her green eyes stared in a constant and excited wonder. When the car first moved, her eyes went wide and she looked at him, concerned and scared but he calmed her. Awkwardly yes, but he did calm her down with soothing words and assurance.

He furrowed his jet black eyebrows and sighed. Her being dressed like that wouldn't help blending her into society. While he found it incredibly idiotic and just plain outright stupid, he knew the first thing to do would be to get her some actual clothes to walk around in, so that she appeared as human as possible, because right now she looked like some kind of experiment.

"Uhm…Cherry Blossom…?" He called with small insecurity. He wasn't sure he was calling her correctly. That reminded him...did she even know how to speak? Or what he and the others were saying?

"Sakura." She said turning to him. His eyes widened slightly and he turned to her, stopping the car at a red light. It was the first time he heard her speak. She had the voice of a young woman, but the softness of an experienced mother. Not to mention that answered his question on whether or not she could speak...but did she really understand? Sure she'd understand the word Cherry Blossom. It was her species, but did she actually understand what he was saying.

"What?" He said stupefied. She smiled, nodding at him. She really did understand him.

Because she answered him right after his dumbfounded what.

"You can call me Sakura…it is a name, and it means Cherry Blossom." She said smiling. He felt his heart warm at the smile and tingling sensations overcome him. With a blush he looked back to the road and cleared his throat of balled up saliva. He thanked whatever god's above that he had long bangs to frame his face, allowing him to hide the embarrassment and flush of color. He nodded looking towards the road with serious dark eyes.

"Very well. Sakura…there are some rules you are to follow for the period you are with me. Understood?" He started while she nodded in understanding. She held a smile on her face, and stared at him with her complete attention. He raised an eyebrow. She knew what rules were?

"Rule number one; you are to not talk to or go with anyone anywhere without my say so. Rule number two; you are to stay by my side and in my sight at all times. And rule number three; you are to stay out of the way in any fights or battles that occur. When a fight does occur, you are to hide until I get back to you. If I don't, you are to runaway for as long as you possibly can back to that hospital. Understand?" He asked and she nodded with a weary look in her eyes.

"Uhm…Sasuke-kun, why do I have stay out the way, during fights?" She asked. His heart beat harder against his chest hearing his name from her lips, with a suffix. It was not his first time hearing 'Sasuke-kun', but it was his first time hearing Sasuke-kun, with such a sensitivity and graciousness that it made him shiver, no matter how hard he tried to suppress it. Usually, it annoyed him to the brink of getting ready to shoot whoever said the God Forsaken suffix. Sasuke shook his head.

"It is my job to protect you with everything I have. I am not going to allow anyone to harm you and you getting in the way will most likely interfere with my task." He explained to her seriously. She looked away with saddened eyes.

"So…I'm a burden." She said almost with a matter of fact voice, saddened and soft. Sasuke looked over to her with his heart stopping for a brief moment. She wasn't a burden. She was far from a burden…at least she wasn't a burden for now. Surely when the enemy got word she was with him, they were going to come with weapons armed.

"You're no burden Sakura. This is basically what I do for a living. I've had worse assignments then this, so you don't have to worry about being a nuisance." He clarified for her. She smiled gently and nodded.

"Where are we going now?" She asked him kneeling over and studying the wheel Sasuke held as he drove. He looked at her. Now she was being a nuisance. He sighed.

"Sakura please get back in your seat. And we are going to the mall. We have to get you clothing and shoes." He said, turning a corner and stopping at another red light and she did as he said. Sakura gave a confused look and Sasuke silently asked her what her troubles were.

"What are shoes?" She asked. And the way she said it made Sasuke find her rather…cute.

"They're what you put on your feet." He explained shortly. Sakura suddenly glared and crossed her arms.

"No! I don't want anything on my feet!" She said with a pleading voice. Sasuke looked at her.

"Sakura, you have to. The streets are no place for bare feet. They are filled with cracks, and broken bottles, and liquids that you don't want to step in." He explained. She crossed her arms slouching in the car seat and only looking out the window for the rest of the ride. Sasuke sighed.

This flower was extremely childish and rather stubborn and was becoming more and more annoying with each passing word that left her lips.

Sasuke found parking across the street from the city mall, and walked over to open the door for Sakura. She got out slowly and stared at Sasuke. He stared at her feet down on the concrete floor. They looked so tender…she was definitely going to need some shoes.

He lifted her bridal style and began to walk. She objected.

"No, Sasuke-kun, I can walk, please put me down." She said with anxiety, in her voice, as she wrapped her arms around his neck gently but tightly. You'd think he was going to drop her.

"Sakura, the concrete won't be good for your feet." He promised her, beginning his walk across the street and into the mall. Sakura whimpered and she buried her face into his neck. He concluded she was scared. She was the last flower, which meant she was somehow hidden from humans, and this meant she had never seen too many humans gathered in one place. Sasuke felt a burn on his cheeks as he continued walking.

She was so light…and he liked the feel of holding her.

He glared at nothing in particular. What was he thinking? She was his assignment. He was to protect her, not grow feelings for her. Besides…though he was a handsome man with thousands of fan girls who still stalk him to this very day, he never…had a relationship before…

And it would just be weird to have a relationship with a flower.

'Why am I even thinking this? What should be on my mind is preserving her for the next three years.'

He walked into the clothing store and placed Sakura down on a stool. She looked around rubbing her feet together in slight fear.

"Sasuke-kun I don't like being here…" She whimpered. Sasuke shook his head kneeling down in front of her and grabbing her hands.

"We're only going to be here for a few minutes okay? Not for long." He said caressing her hands to make her feel better. It was something his mother use to do to him when she was still around and he was upset. She would just grab his hands and then caress them with a gentle circular motion that resembled a feather like touch.

It worked for Sakura, and she smiled, nodding in compliance. And what struck him in his chest was that she actually seemed to trust him. He looked away from her green eyes, and flipped the hood of her cape over her head to cover the pink strands of hair, and stood, calling for a store clerk. It was a woman with red uneven hair, with black glasses over very dark brown eyes. She smiled at him.

"What can I do for you sir?" She asked with a flirty voice. Sasuke glared at her.

"I need help for her. She needs clothing and shoes, but I'm not sure what to get her or what size she is. There was a fire at her home." He lied. The woman looked at Sakura and glared with jealousy.

"Are you together?" She asked Sasuke with a fake smile towards him. Sasuke narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms.

"I don't have time for this. Go get her some damn clothing and shoes already so we can go." Sasuke growled at her, making her literally run off in fear. After measuring Sakura's feet and body measurements, she ran and got a few choices.

There was black boots with a small heel in the back and open toes, another pair of black leather boots with no open toe, for the rain or snow since winter was around the corner, black flats, and white flats.

Then everything when it came down to clothing. Night gowns, pajamas, jeans, shorts, skirts, sweatpants, tube tops, tank tops, plain t-shirts, blouses, revealing blouses, party blouse, dresses and so on and so forth.

Sasuke rolled his eyes and sighed as he paid for the necessities, and took a pair of black flats to Sakura who was sitting down. He kneeled, putting the shoe on and after putting on the second one he heard a sniffle.

His eyebrows furrowed and he looked up to see Sakura crying and looking down at her feet. His eyes, though he didn't know it, grew sympathetic and he caressed her tears away unconsciously.

"Sakura, don't cry. What's wrong?" He asked. She sniffed again.

"I feel Mother less than I did before." She whimpered. Sasuke's eyes lit with realization. The shoes were cutting the little bit of connection with Earth that she could get here. He sighed looking down, drawing his hand away from her. Why was she so...

"Sakura, I promise, you don't have to wear them a lot. Okay? Only when we're out. Please, stop crying." He said to her, gently caressing away the tears again.

...alluring?

She finally looked at him and smiled nodding, and standing. Sasuke let Sakura walk in front of him, and from out of the corner of his eyes saw the lady who helped them. He side looked her over.

She was observing him...and then looked at Sakura. Big red flag. His eye glared at her, sending her a silent warning.

Back off...or die.

He shook his head. She was store clerk for god's sake. He was sure that she couldn't do any kind of harm if she tried...but just in case, he was going to have to steer clear of this store and lady for a long time. With that he caught up with Sakura, who waited for him by the door.

The two walked back to the car, and the ride to Sasuke's home was a quiet and calm one. Sakura pleasantly looked out the window, watching the scenes as they drove by. Dirty, cracked, crooked streets, with seemingly sad people. Everyone was so sad. She looked over to Sasuke. She could feel it from him the most.

He was sad...all the time.

Her eyes grew sympathetic. She reached out, grabbing his right had that laid still on the gear to his car. For a moment, everything was calm, quiet. Everything was...right. She smiled happily, and looked at him to see he was staring at the road of the highway they were on. She looked down on his hand, to see it a bit more relaxed than before. She closed her eyes reaching inside herself and allowing herself to sync herself with him. A sync for her, was a moment were contact was shared, and she could feel and/or know everything the other person did for the moment. It wasn't permanent unless made so. And the moment she did, the car jerked forward in shock as he pressed a little to hard on the brake pedal. Her hand flew forward, and his hand flew to push her back before she could bang her head against the dashboard.

"Fuck!" Sasuke gasped. Sakura looked to the windshield, seeing construction in front of them and a group of workers and police officers pointing them to turn go another way. She looked at Sasuke, seeing his eyes glare at the police officer and a car in front of them. The police officer walked to Sasuke's window, tapping on it to indicate he wanted to talk.

"What?" Sasuke grumbled to him as the window rolled down.

"Sorry about that. I saw how that asshole cut you off. Just wanted to let you know that you might want to take a different way. Things are way more hectic up ahead." The guy said kindly. Sasuke looked back towards the road and then to Sakura. He looked at the time. Ten thirty in the morning.

"This is the quickest way for me to get home." Sasuke murmured looking at Sakura. Just looking at her helped him feel a bit calmer. And that sensation on his hand when she was touching it a moment ago...what was that?

"Sorry about that man. I really think you ought to take a different way though..." The guy leaned into Sasuke's ear.

"Saw your eyes flash red. Take a different road Uchiha-sama." Sasuke's eyes widened and he glared.

ANBU...or them?

"Who are you?"

"He who wishes for Mother's future."

ANBU. Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"I'll be fine."

"Please, take a different road. You know how you can get. Especially angry." The guy said. Sasuke glared at him.

"What the hell are you guys doing on the fucking highway anyway?" Sasuke growled at him.

"I was told not to tell you, but you should know because you have some precious cargo with you here." The guy started looking towards Sakura, who stared back in confusion. Sasuke looked at her as well.

"Well, get out with it then. I want to go home already." Sasuke growled.

"We caught wind of you-know-who." Sasuke's eyes widened, and his teeth gritted. So, he was around...

"So a construction sight instead of a police checkpoint to avoid suspicion. Tell Tsunade she's brilliant." Sasuke grumbled. The guy chuckled.

"I know it's inconvenient for you, but even you know she really is brilliant. The disguise police officer laughed and then turned serious.

"Strangely though, Tsunade-sama does not remember giving orders to keep any of this quiet from you." The officer said quietly. Sasuke's eyes widened.

"...which is why she's told me to urge you to go another way." Sasuke's eyes this time narrowed he looked at Sakura again. She was playing with her fingers now, staring at the other worldly things like they fascinated her in a way.

"Who made the order then?"

"No one knows. We were only given a written statement by Tsunade, telling us to set up the construction sight-that she says is true-but the rest to the statement urged us to say nothing to you, Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake, and/or anyone besides those of the operation for that matter." The guy said quietly. Sasuke nodded.

"I see...so a possible trap of some kind. From a traitor." Sasuke suggested.

"Maybe...or to slow you down and keep you in the sights of him." Sasuke nodded.

"Give Tsunade my thanks."

"I will. Be safe." Sakura looked at the guy and smiled, who looked at her smiling back. Sasuke sighed, and looked at Sakura.

"I guess we're going to have to go another way then." Sasuke said, rubbing his forehead. Sakura, confused and naive as ever, only smiled approvingly of Sasuke's decision as if she would follow him to the ends of the Earth. He shook his head, turning the wheel and driving along a nearby exit ramp, no one else was using. And the rest of the ride to Sasuke's home was uneventful. It was a spacious loft, and the two walked to the elevator before riding up to the last floor. Sakura walked into his home, removing her hood letting her hair be revealed once again. She looked around seeing windows, and a large living room, though she didn't know what it was, and then a kitchen, a few stairs, and a hallway.

She slipped off her shoes and continued walking around while Sasuke watched her carefully. She looked around the house, eyeing his possessions and necessities. All of this was so new to her. She didn't know what anything was. But...at the same time, she did. She didn't know what a television was, but she knew it was a device invented by numerous engineers of the late eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds. She knew that the invention was the television however, was accredited to Philo Farnsworth and Charles Francis Jenkins in 1929. She knew of the evolution's of television and that this kind of thing was referred to as a flat screen TV. She knew that in front of the flat screen, was a piece of furniture called a sofa, and in between was a table.

She knew what these things were...but she didn't know them at all.

In her world, there were no televisions or radios or couches or chairs. There were no kitchen sinks, dining tables, refrigerators, and all these other things she didn't know. She looked to Sasuke who sat down on his couch and with the press of a button on a device she remembered was called the remote, the television came to life, with people and colors. She sat down curiously, next to him, cocking her head to the side.

"This show is called Bar Rescue." Sasuke said, putting the remote down and slouching. Sakura looked at the TV, seeing an angry man she knew was called Jon Taffer yelling angrily at someone she didn't know.

"He's angry...," She murmured.

"Well, he's not anymore. This show is from a while ago. about two hundred years back in the past." Her eyebrows furrowed at Sasuke's information.

"Two...hundred years?" She asked quietly. He nodded.

"Why don't they air newer shows?"

"They do, they just like to throw in old ones. For entertainment and extra time to waste. I like this show." He shrugged. She looked at him, and nodded.

"I suppose...but the dead should rest in peace and not be disturbed. Why continue airing the dead?" She asked. He looked at her. She was looking at the TV now, her eyes seemingly unapproved by these actions.

"Sakura..."

"The dead should be left alone. Leave them to rest and leave the past behind...," She said looking at Sasuke with a smile.

"Begin a new series. A new start. A new road so they won't be dead in vain. That's just what I think." She said calmly. She settled more lazily in the bed, closing her eyes.

"I...feel tired."

Sasuke looked away, not at the television or anything at all. He stood, laying her down on the couch.

"Rest here for a little. I have to go make space for you in my room." He said, and disappeared up a short flight of stairs. She closed her eyes, and fell asleep, while Sasuke spent his time cleaning.

Sakura sat up rubbing her eyes lazy. She walked to his room up the stairs, and looked around the rather dark room. She saw a picture on the nightstand and slowly picked it up looking down at four people. This was called a picture and what it was inside of was called a picture frame, her mind automatically brought up. She studied the four people of the colorful image.

An old man in about his forties, with a very serious face towards the camera and beside him a beautiful woman in her mid thirties with black hair and black eyes smiling gently. There was then a boy, at least thirteen years old and next to him another boy, a bit younger; maybe seven years old. She smiled at the young boy touching his face.

"That's me." She heard from behind her. She turned around, smiling up at him and then looking back down at the picture.

"Sasuke-kun, this is your family?" She asked. He nodded taking the picture and placing it faced down on the nightstand.

"They were my family." He said looking down with a glare. She seemed to understand and she placed a hand on his face. The gesture and contact shocked Sasuke to a point where he his eyes widened slightly. He stared into her green eyes, a moment of silence followed the two of them, with the warmth of a mother's arms.

"Sasuke-kun, they're with Father now…they are better." She said quietly. The moment of comfort was gone in that instant. Sasuke's eyes glared at nothing in particular and he replaced the growing pain in his chest with sheer and renewed anger. It was all he could do. He had an ambition...a goal and what he needed was hatred, not kind words to destruct his path. He furrowed his eyebrows.

Mother was Earth obviously…who was Father?

"Who is Father?" He grumbled curiously. Sakura smiled and walked over to the window, opening the curtain to reveal the now dimly lit sky with dusk almost at its end and night approaching. She pointed up at the sky and Sasuke understood.

"Father gives them light and warmth, and Mother carries them now." She explained with a gentle smile. Sasuke glared at her slightly.

"They shouldn't be. They shouldn't have been murdered." Sasuke growled and turned away from her to walk to the balcony.

"But Sasuke-kun, their suffering has ended. And so should yours. Forgive and forge—" That's where Sasuke snapped and he turned to her.

"Shut the hell up!" Sasuke yelled. Sakura's eyes widened, and she was silenced instantly. And for Sasuke, there was no stopping the words coming from his mouth. There was no ending to the pain or suffering.

"What the hell do you know? You're nothing but a stupid flower, with no clue on what suffering is! And you will never understand what that feels like! You'll never know the pain of losing a loved one! I can't forgive and forget! My suffering will never end so long as my family's murderer lives!" He screamed at her.

"There is no new path for me! There is nothing but destruction! I am an avenger and I will have my vengeance! And nothing, especially some ridiculous, weak and pathetic thing is not going to shake me off my chosen path!" He continued and ended instantly regretting it. He saw the tears weld in her eyes and he realized everything he had just said. The green eyes were pained.

A stupid flower...a stupid flower with no clue on anything. What the hell did a stupid flower know...? What the hell did a ridiculous, weak and pathetic flower know?

"Saku—" but it was no use. She ran away into whatever room was next and closed the door behind her. She ran into a closet. He sighed, placing his hand on the door, his eyes falling when he heard sobbing and whimpers.

He decided he would leave her be for a while.

He stared at himself in the bathroom mirror and had just finished showering for an hour. He turned clenching his hands into fist. He growled punching his bathroom door cursing at himself.

"Why the hell did I say that?! Damn it!" Sasuke growled and sighed. He walked over to the closet, putting his ear against it. He could still hear the sniffles and such. He decided against showing his face to her and went to bed.

As the rays of the sun touched Sasuke's face, the rather light sleeper woke up with a tired look in his eyes. He growled standing from the bed, and walking to the kitchen. He bit his bottom lip.

"Sakura? Sakura!" He called her name. Not hearing anything worried him, and he became alert.

"Sakura!" He screamed.

Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows looking everywhere for Sakura. He had called her name hundreds of times, checked the locks and saw that none of them had been unlocked since last night, checked every spot in the house. She was nowhere to be found. No windows were opened so she couldn't have jumped out, and he was sure as hell that if she jumped out the window anyway, she wouldn't have run away without difficulty. They were up fifty floors.

He ran through the hallway stopping right in front of the closet.

'I'm a dumbass.' He thought to himself with a sweat drop.

With that he walked over to the closet she was in. He lowered himself to sit on the floor beside the door.

"Sakura…" He called softly.

"Can I come in?" He asked gently. Hearing no reply he slowly opened the door. He saw Sakura against the wall, with her legs hugged up to her chest and face covered behind her knees.

"Sakura, I'm sorry for yelling at you. I didn't mean to. It will never happen again…" She didn't lift her head up.

"Sakura?" He called again touching her arm and grabbing it only to find her hand looked limp. His eyes widened and he looked straight at her.

"Sakura! Sakura, answer me. This is not funny." He growled lifting her limp body and taking her outside to his bedroom, where his bed was right by a window. His eyes widened.

She was breathing ragged breaths, and her eyes looked less lively. Her once vibrant skin was a sick pale. Dark veins rode up her neck. Her hair was slightly duller, and her eyes were half lidded.

"Sakura, what's wrong? Tell me what I need to do." He said. Sakura forced herself to grab the curtain only gently, revealing sunlight for a short period before the curtain closed on its own again. His eyes widened and he ripped the shades down fearing for Sakura.

Not for himself, or the assignment, but for Sakura.

She gasped lightly as the sunlight hit her body, and Sasuke went on to think what more he had to do. What else could he do, or what was to be done?

"W-Wa…" Sakura tried but her voice was hoarse and dry. Sasuke's eyes widened. Dry...

She needed water.

He immediately ran to the kitchen grabbing a glass and filling it with water and running back to Sakura lifting her in his arms. He placed the edge of the cup to her lips, and she placed her own hand over his to grab the cup and drink greedily. And Sasuke couldn't help but hate himself for the state she was in. His eyes widened when she gulped every last drop down, but there was no change in her condition. She groaned, and went back looking at the sun. Sasuke bit his bottom lip. She needed more water…but was there a more efficient way?

He looked down at her body, visualizing her as the flower she was. The realization hit him across the face as he placed the glass down and ran for a bucket filling it with water.

Flowers took in water from their roots, the roots of Sakura being most likely her feet. He filled it half way and placed it next to Sakura, in front of the window, so the morning sun shined better on her as she drank. He took her legs flipping them off the bed towards the bucket of water. She groaned looking at him. Once her feet were directly over the bucket Sasuke picked her up so she sat upwards with his help of course, and the feet sank into the liquid. She moaned and her head went upward, and a smile came upon her face.

The dark veins slowly disappeared, and her hair went back to a more vibrant pink. She looked more healthy, and alive. Sasuke let out a breath of relief and he caressed Sakura's face with almost anxiety and fear. He was scared. He almost lost her. He could have lost her and he would be nothing and…why was he thinking this way?

Sakura stared at him with worried eyes of her own, and she smiled in understanding that he was worried about her. She stood fully and got out the bucket.

Sasuke almost spoke against it but she turned with a smile.

"It's okay Sasuke-kun, I have had my fill. I no longer want water now…I want more sun though. Can we go for a walk?" She asked. His eyes softened. She had already forgiven him? Sure he saved her life just now, but…she had already set aside the fact that he had yelled at her harshly. He looked down in sadness and regret and anger for himself.

He felt a hand on his face and he was brought to meet Sakura's eyes.

And his phone rang.

He looked down at the object with a look of panic and even shock. Almost as if he had forgotten that such a thing existed. Sighing, he shook his head, answering the phone.

"Sasuke." He said monotony. Using his entire name, or his last name was something he didn't and couldn't do often.

"Hello Sasuke. I hope all is well?" Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed and he glared at nothing particular.

"Kabuto. You failed to mention a few things to me. Like how Sakura actually needs water and sunlight, like any flower would." Sasuke practically snarled into the phone. If he had known, he at least wouldn't have let Sakura stay in the closet the whole night and she would've been fine. She wouldn't have ever been in that state.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't think that'd be a problem for you to find out. I figured you would have figured she'd be that way. But, you see, we couldn't change her nutrition guidelines." Kabuto replied. Sasuke's eyes narrowed angrily. If he didn't know any better, he'd say that Kabuto was mocking him in a sense. And if there was one thing Sasuke hated, it was to be mocked.

"It would've been nice to know so that she didn't almost die on the first day." Sasuke snarled. Kabuto chuckled.

"Please excuse my rudeness and my incompetence Sasuke. How is the flower?"

Sasuke looked back at Sakura. "Better now."

"Splendid. I guess then you now know that she needs sunlight and water to survive." Sasuke glared menacingly.

"Anything else?" Sasuke growled.

"Well, I'm sure you already know that we've altered her brain to understand and speak several languages, as well as have basic knowledge of things of this world. Like entertainment and its systems, materials, sciences, mathematics, analysis, history, etc. Other than that, she's basically just another human being."

"Anything else Kabuto?" Sasuke grumbled.

"No. That is all." Sasuke hung up instantly. Kabuto usually didn't get on his nerves like that, but that conversation just now was just pissing him off more and more. He just wanted to find him and strangle him. Especially because he left out such important information. What kind of mistake was that?

"Sasuke-kun?" He turned over to Sakura.

"Yes?"

"Is everything okay?" She asked quietly. He stared at her for a moment, before nodding and looking away fully. He was such an idiot.

"Yeah. Everything's fine. How are you feeling?" His voice trailed off lightly, as she walked over to him and hugged him close. She smiled when pulling away.

"I'm better." She beamed. And he stared, his arms remaining at his sides. Sakura raised an eyebrow seeing his expression. He seemed so...so sad. So much sadness was inside of him, but he hid it all behind a facade of stoicism and anger. She smiled.

She would just be sure not to have him be sad anymore. She would do everything in her power to make him happy.

"Sasuke-kun, I forgive you. Please…let's go for a walk. I…I'll where those shoes." She pleaded lightly. Sasuke couldn't help but give a small chuckle and smile at her. There was something about Sakura that just made the coldest man on earth smile. All she had to do was speak, or look at you, or smile at you. It was contagious, the…the happiness she spread. Maybe she truly was the last bit of hope for everyone. The last bit of happiness they could have.

But why was he feeling this when he only had her for two days?

And why was Kabuto really being a straight out asshole?

With that he began to put on his boots, and watched as she cheered and got ready herself, putting on bought jeans and a red short sleeved shirt under her black light sweater and jacket. He stared as she had small difficulty before putting on the black open toed boots right, and he grabbed his two guns, hiding them in his black leather jacket.

Leaving, Sasuke couldn't help but feel uneasiness about this growing connection.

Next time, in the Last Flower!

"Keep your eye out my son. There is a traitor among us. And they have already zeroed their sights in on the flower."

"But she's dying Sasuke-kun! Let me go with her! Please!"

"I won't let anything happen to Sakura! You hear me!"

'A flower's life is very brief. Remember that Sasuke-kun.'

Until next time everybody! :D

Sakura: Say ahh Sasuke-kun!

Sasuke: Sakura, I don't need to be fed!

Sakura: Come on say ahh! Open that big mouth wide! Here comes the choo-choo train! Choo Choo!

Sasuke: Sakura! I-mmfh!

Sakura: Very good! :D
