SakuraHarunoInsanity: Yea, I know the intro sucked, but this one is gonna be a lot better I promise. Remember, I'm a newbie at this stuff.
Sakura: Be nice and no flamez.
Naruto: And remember, SakuraHarunoInsanity does not own me. Hinata-chan and Masashi-sama does. Right, Sasuke-teme?
Sasuke: Hn.
Naruto: Grrrr!!!!!
SakuraHarunoInsanity: On with the fanfic!!!!! 3
Sakura p.o.v.
"There. You're good to go, Lee", I say, finishing up the last of healing his arm. He flashes me one of his 'good guy' smiles with his thumb up in the air.
"Thank you very much, my youthful blossom. I promise I will be more careful next time!!"
"You're welcome, Lee"
"Would the beautiful blossom accompany me on a date tonight?"
I twitch a bit, but I just smile.
"Sorry, Lee, but I'd rather not. I might have work tonight anyway"
He just smiles anyway.
"That is okay. I will see you later, my youthful blossom, for I must see Guy-sensei for another form of youthful training!!!! THE BLOOM OF YOUTH SHALL NEVER DIMINISH!!!!"
I watched him run out of the hospital. He and Guy have some issues, but hey, they were them. I walked out of the hospital with a stretch and a sigh. I pass by the old stone bench and glare at it. I can't believe I wasted my time chasing around the ice princess when I could've been training and now, I surpassed Shishou and am considered the hottest kunoichi in the village. Yeah, life is good now. It's a windy day today and the cherry blossoms are fluttering about. They're so calming.
I get to the middle of town on my way home. When I look around, everyone seems…uneasy. Very uneasy. They give me a small smile, but still seem so uneasy, it makes me worried. I walk up to Teuchi-san and Ayame-chan, the people that run Ichiraku's.
"Hey, Teuchi-san. Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, I may have an answer", he smiles.
"Why does everyone seem so uncomfortable?"
He goes silent for a minute with a serious look on his face.
"Look, Sakura, to be honest with you, nobody can tell you. Don't tell Hokage I said that, because we're not even supposed to tell you that. She said she would tell you tomorrow. That's all I can say"
I nod my head.
"Thank you, Teuchi-san. I'll leave now. I don't want you to get in trouble with Shishou"
I give him a wave and leave towards my house.
Shishou has a lot of explaining to do.
Next morning
Sakura p.o.v.
'Sakura, wake up', a voice in my head says. It alarms me a bit, but I stay calm.
'Who the heck are you?!'
'The inner you that you decided to ignore for the past few years, now, get your lazy butt out of bed'
'WHYYYYYY???? It's bad enough Naruto decided to wake me up at 8:45 yesterday!!! Now, my inner conscious is waking me up at……what time is it?'
'7:00 a.m.'
'…I don't wanna get up. I've been a good girl all week and I wanna sleep in'
'Do you wanna find out what Shishou was hiding?'
At that, I bolted out of bed and got dressed. Yeah, curiosity takes its affects. The minute I get down to the living room towards the front door, I hear a loud knock and it's followed by a very obnoxious voice. Yup, it's Naruto.
"SAKURA-CHAN!!!!!! OPEN UP!!!! NOW!!!!!!!"
I open the door and am greeted by a panting Naruto. I raise an eyebrow.
"Naruto, what's wrong?"
He doesn't respond or say anything, he just grabs my wrist and runs as quickly as his legs take him to Shishou's office. Before he opens the door, he looks at me.
"Promise you won't do anything drastic. Just remain calm, because we all have to talk before any actions are taken"
The seriousness in his voice startles me. But then, it hits me. There is only one reason he would be this serious. Slowly, he opens the door and lets me through. Standing before Shishou's desk is the one person that made the love in my heart turn to a burning, black pit of hate…
Uchiha Sasuke.
He stood there, stoic as usual with a katana at his waist. His hair was a bit longer, but otherwise still looked like the back end of a goose. His eyes are still a blank shade of black. He's taller now, but he still gives off the aura of somebody that has this immensely large stick crammed into the wee crevices of his butt. Yeah, in my opinion, he's still arrogant.
"Sit down, Sakura", Shishou says to me. I don't say anything, I just do as I'm told and sit next to Naruto and Sai, who seems to have no problem being in the same room as this revenge ridden, sorry sack of ……. I'm just gonna stop there.
"Now, as you all can plainly see, Uchiha Sasuke is back in Konoha and I've called Team 7 in here to talk about his punishment. Since he's killed major threats, he won't be put on death row, but he still has to be punished for what he's done. You all know what his punishment is, except for Sakura, so everyone except for Sakura and Sasuke need to leave".
Naruto gives me a reassuring smile, before shutting the door behind Sai, Kakashi, and him. Tsunade looks from me to him and breaks the awkward silence.
"Look, I'm just gonna put it short, sweet, and to the point. Sasuke, you are to be under house arrest in Sakura's house for the amount of time you've been gone, which is two years. You cannot leave on missions or leave the village unless I authorize it. You will be occasionally watched over by ANBU. If you screw up, you will either be put in a maximum security cell or banned from being a ninja for ten years or more depending on the severity of your offense. Screw up bad enough and you could be benned for life. Do you understand?"
"Hn. What about training?"
"You can train all you want. You're lucky Naruto and Kakashi still stand behind you, or else you would suffer more dire consequences"
He peers over his shoulder at me with an eyebrow raised, wondering what she means by only Naruto and Kakashi. I send a glare his way and he just turns around.
"Shishou, can I speak please?" She nods her head and I completely lose my temper.
"WHY HAVE YOU LET HIM BACK IN THE VILLAGE?! HE'S A TRAITOROUS BACKSTABBER AND SHOULD BE PUT ON DEATH ROW IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! I DON'T CARE HOW MANY THREATS HE'S KILLED!!!! HE BETRAYED KONOHA!!!! I DON'T CARE IF HE'S THE LAST SOUL SURVIVOR OF THE UCHIHA CLAN!!!! IN MY EYES, HE'S NO MORE THAN TRASH!!!!!! I HOPE HE ROTS IN THE DEEPEST DARKEST PITS OF HELL FROM WHICH HE WAS CREATED!!!!!!! AND WHY DID YOU PUT HIM WITH ME???!!!! YOU SHOULD'VE PUT HIM WITH NARUTO OR KAKASHI!!!! THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES THAT STILL STAND BEHIND HIM ENOUGH TO ACCEPT HIM BACK!!!!!!"
My chest is heaving up and down and some of my hair is hanging in front of my face. I am beyond mad. I look over at him to see his reaction. He's got this weird expression on his face, like he's insanely mad, and he can't believe I said something like that, like disbelief. I don't care, though. He's still a traitor in my eyes.
"The reason you were chosen, Sakura, is because you're the only person I could trust with something this big. I know you are over him and all, but you're the most reliable person I have", Tsunade-shishou says. I bite my lip and just glare at him as if the past just replaye all over again in my head."You're both dismissed".
I walk towards the door and swing it open, not bothering to check if I just put a hole in the wall with the doorknob. I hear him pick up his bag and follow me out of the office.
This is definitely not my day.
Sasuke's p.o.v.
She's changed...too much. It's intimidating to even be in the same area as her. And she's grown a lot. She's not the type of girl you'd be afraid to hug or else she'd snap in half, but she doesn't have her own gravitational pull. She's in the middle, in other words, healthy. I get the feeling her skills are even better, too.
Her hair is still the same shade of cherry blossom pink that it was when we were younger, but it's short in the front and boyshort in the back, so she can spike it. Her eyes seem so dull and lifeless, like all she is is a marionette. She wears eyeliner now, and it looks great on her...wait, what am I saying?! It could just be a front until we get to her house and she starts crying. But something in the back of my mind is doubting that.
"What are you looking at, Uchiha?" I hear her say. I'm snapped out of my thoughts just to be greeted by her glare. I shift my head.
"Hn. Nothing"
"Whatever. We're here"
Her house is huge. I think it's even bigger than the Uchiha mansion. She unlocks the door and we step inside. The floors are black marble tile and the walls are a fair shade of gray. It looks like a vampire's mansion, honestly.
"Follow me. I'll show you where you stay". I nod and she leads me upstairs to a room on the far right of the hall.
"This is your room. My room is on the far opposite side of the hall. Don't go in there, unless I say"
She's about to walk out, but she isn't going anywhere yet. I want answers. I grab her arm and make her face me.
"What is wrong with you?"
"What are you talking about, Uchiha?"
"You! You're...you're...you're acting like..."
"Like you? Oh, well. It's your fault. Say what you want as much as you want. I got over you anyway, so your criticism could mean less to me, Uchiha"
"My name is Sasuke. Uchiha is my family name". Whatever happened to Sasuke-kun?
"Whatever, Uchiha. I have work to do"
She snatches her arm away and walks off. I can't help, but feel this pit in my chest. Her words are ringing in my head.
"I got over you anyway"
I let out a sigh. I can't believe it. She's really over me.
I change my clothes and wander around the house a bit, until I see her in a computer room, looking over something.
"What, Uchiha? If you're looking for the living room, it's downstairs"
"For the last time, my name is Sasuke"
She spins around in her chair and scowls at me.
"Look, Uchiha! I will call you whatever I want to as long as you're here! I can call you Shirley if I want to, because you are under my roof! Got it, Ice-princess?!"
I just turn my head and walk to the living room.
This is gonna be a long two years. What she said on our way here still won't leave my head. It's like a fly. It keeps buzzing around and pestering me. But in all seriousness, that ! What the heck is wrong with me?! I shouldn't even be worried about what she said. It's not like it was important. It's not like it drilled this hole in my chest and I'm bleeding from the heart at the fact she doesn't-CHIKUSO!!!!!!!!
Ugh, I need therapy. Now.
SakuraHarunoInsanity: Well...That was interesting.
Sakura:Yeah, it was.
SakuraHarunoInsanity:Leave me Comments!!3
