Chapter three: Decisions
"Sakura, what is the meaning of this?" The 5th hokage looked at Sakura suspiciously.
Sasuke began waking up but stayed down and pretended to be unconscious so he could listen to the conversation between me and Tsunande.
"I'm sorry sensei. I couldn't do it. I couldn't kill him."
Tsunande sighed and looked at Sakura disappointed. "Sakura, I have no choice but to have him executed, that was the choice that was made after-"
"But Tsunande-sama you can't! You out of all people should know what its like to lose someone you love. I don't want to do it again. I can't go through the same pain like before. So please, don't kill him." I couldn't hold back the pain that was inside of me for all these years. There were too many painful memories that couldn't be held back.
"Sakura I know how much he means to you, but it can't be helped."
"Tsunande-shishou, please, let him live. He was planning to come back all along!"
Sasuke began getting up on his feet. "Sakura, stay out of this. I won't let myself be killed. I still have a dream I need to fulfill."
"Sasuke," The hokage spoke confidently, "You're punishment was to be killed. If this is not followed through the village would look weak. This may cause problems for us. But, Sakura has persuaded me otherwise. Therefore, I will let you live."
I kept looking down at the floor for a while until I heard Tsunande say that Sasuke wouldn't be killed. My eyes filled with joy and I was about to jump up and thank Tsunande but Sasuke was quicker then me and put his hand over my mouth.
"What will my punishment become then?" Sasuke stayed calm like he knew that Tsunande wouldn't send anyone to kill him.
Sasuke's hand left my mouth and fell back by his side.
"You will stay on probation for six months in prison. When you are there, there will be a few people coming by and interrogating you on Orochimaru's whereabouts and what he's been doing. If you don't cooperate I will send someone to kill you. For now, I'm going to trust you with Sakura. Tomorrow morning you will meet me here and you will be locked up."
"Aa." Sasuke replied dryly.
I immediately jumped up and hugged my sensei thanking her in the process. I don't know if I've ever been any happier. It's funny how simple things can make someone happy.
I walked Sasuke to my house and gave him a tour of the whole house. My parents died when they went on a mission so I moved into a smaller home. I went downstairs and prepared some rice and tea for dinner. I didn't know what Sasuke liked so I decided to make something simple. When I called him into the kitchen he came in silently and we stayed that way for a while until he finally said something.
"You really are still the same girl from a few years ago aren't you?"
I was a little taken aback at his question but I still gave him an answer. "I didn't show you anything with that little fight we got in earlier."
"That's not what I meant. I saw you in the hokage's office. You were crying just like the day I left. When we were talking at the entrance I really thought that you might've come far. The only thing that showed weakness was how you said you we're going to kill me. The fight itself was impressive and your way with words was also." Sasuke looked up at me. We sat at the table silently for a while before both of us finished eating and I began cleaning up and washing the dishes. Sasuke sat on the couch and signaled for me to sit down next to him. When I came over I just looked at him and he looked back at me.
I loved how I would always get caught looking into his eyes. They seemed empty and like they never ended, but I knew that there was much more then that. The feeling would make you melt in your seat and if you were standing you would lose all feeling in your legs.
"I kind of miss it." I looked at Sasuke confused for a moment. "You were always like my little pink angel and I would be your guardian. Yes you would get annoying because you were weak, but that just made me want to protect you even more."
I felt like I was the only one Sasuke would open up to. I never heard him talk like this before. And I was guessing that he never really talked to anyone. For once I think that Sasuke had more to talk about then I did. Usually it would be me that did all the talking but today was different. I was speechless.
"What's the matter sa-ku-ra? Cat got your tongue?"
When I heard Sasuke's voice taunting me I couldn't help but smile. "I'm trying not to cry Sasuke-kun. I don't want to be weak. I came this far already and I don't want to just throw it all away."
"There's no need to be shy Sakura. You can be weak around me. I won't let anything hurt you. I'm your guardian." Sasuke leaned over and put an arm around me; I hugged him back and buried my head into his chest. I wasn't scared to show weakness in front of Sasuke anymore. He would always be there for me and I would be there for him.
I'll try to make the chapters get longer and longer
