Tsunade cradled her bottle as she scrutinized the man in front of her. She hadn't known Sasuke Uchiha long before he had run off with her estranged Ex-teammate, but still held a great contempt for him. This was the brat that had Naruto on a wild goose chase for years and caused heartache for everyone involved, like hell he wasn't going to get it from her. Her eyes drifted to Naruto, who was nodding off in a chair, her anger increased.
'What was the idiot thinking!' her mind raged 'If Uchiha was intent on hurting him it would be to easy, why would he pull a knuckle headed stunt like that?'
"Hokage-sama, I have come to ask if I may return to Kohona permanently," said Sasuke going strait for the jugular, "I also ask to be reinstated as a Kohona ninja, in do time of course." Sasuke stared levelly at the Hokage wanting to appear polite but not weak. The woman was obviously not fond of him, but he'll be damned before he's walked all over.
"You have some nerve you know that?" growled Tsunade, "Waltzing into my village like you never left. Why should I let you, a traitor of Kohona, live within its walls and fight among its ranks? Who's to say I shouldn't just kill you now?"
At this Naruto's eyes snapped open, "You can't!" he yelled eyes wild, he jumped out of his chair, making his way to Tsunade's desk slowly. "You can't." he said quietly, but firmly, leaning on the desk for support. 'Damn jutsu' he thought.
"And why not?" Tsunade hissed, "He is a danger, a liability, he has cost this village several high ranking missions for his retrieval, he nearly killed you!" She glowered at the Uchiha, golden eyes flickering with loathing.
"I nearly killed him too!" Naruto shouted, face getting flushed, "and he didn't request those retrieval missions! He deserves a second chance, I will take full responsibility of him if anything goes wrong, you have my word!"
Sasuke stared at Naruto as he defended him, and repressed a small smile, 'so the Dobe does care?' Sasuke had been developing a strange feeling towards the blonde lately accompanied by strange dreams. At first the Uchiha had attempted to ignore them and continue his life of solitude, but soon grew tired of policing his thoughts. It was then he decided to come to Kohona, at first with the intention to kill the blonde, just to get him out of his head, but felt an aching in his chest whenever he so much as considered hurting Naruto. He soon abandoned that idea and now drew a blank as to what he was going to do, and after seeing Naruto in all his glory he felt a strange exhilaration he had never experienced before and was quickly becoming addicted to. Perhaps this would prove to be interesting. Shaking his head and refocusing his attention to the conversation at hand, he focused his gaze on the Hokage once more.
Tsunade looked at Naruto long and hard, narrowing her eyes before asking in a calmer tone "Your word? Are you swearing on your nindo, Naruto?"
Naruto nodded "I swear on my nindo, that Sasuke Uchiha will not cause anymore problems or damage to this village while I'm around." He turned to Sasuke and fixed him with a glare, "So you better not, bastard." And with that he waddled away to his previously evacuated seat.
Tsunade stared in the distance, processing what she just heard and planning a course of action, finally she spoke. "Alright," she said coming to a clear conclusion, "Uchiha will be under house arrest until a scheduled hearing with the Elders, his chakra will be put on restraint until further notice. Naruto, since you have taken responsibility for him, you will be his guard, but hear this," she leveled them with a glare, "If I hear one word of betrayal, even a rumor, Uchiha will be transferred to a cell with maximum security."
With that said, Tsunade waved the two out, but not before giving the Uchiha a look of searing distaste. After they left, Tsunade sighed
"I'm going to need more sake."
Sakura stood on the roof of the Hokage tower, waiting for her newly reunited team. She chewed on her pony-tail, a nervous habit. Her mind was racing; Sasuke was back, so why didn't she feel anything? She was in love with him, right?
'No,' a voice in the back of her mind answer her, 'you never loved him, only lusted for him and his name.' She frowned at that, not likening how superficial it sounded.
"If you keep frowning like that you'll get wrinkles on your already hideous face." Sai said, plastic smile firmly in place.
"Sai," Sakura said snapping out of her stupor "is today a good day to die? If not, shut the fuck up or you'll be six feet under by sun down."
"Sakura, violence is not the answer." Kakashi said airily, his orange book resting in his palm.
'Damn pervert,' Sakura grumbled internally, 'this whole fiasco hasn't even affected him. Well, at least there are some things you can count on, and Kakashi's perverseness is just one of them.'
Something caught the corner of her eye, she turned to see Sasuke slowly making his way towards them, supporting a worn looking Naruto. She hesitated, Jade eyes flashing in conflict. Should she be angry with Sasuke? He did abandon her and Naruto, and he almost killed Naruto several times.
As the battle in her mind raged, Naruto stumbled and began to fall, Sasuke quickly steadied the blonde and frimed his grip on him. Sakura smiled and moved forward meeting them half way, enveloping them both in a hug.
'I may not love either of them as I did before,' she thought, a small smile gracing her lips, 'but damn am I happy to be together with them again.'
Sasuke allowed the contact being forced on him from Sakura, slightly tightening his hold on Naruto, not wanting to have him taken from his arms for some strange reason. He looked over Sakura's shoulder to see his old sensei with his replacement. His eyes narrowed as he took Sai in, he didn't like the feeling of him. Sure, he was an emotionally stunted douche, but at least he didn't fake smile in a creepy ass way. What the hell was with the way that creepy bastard looked at Naruto, and all those comments about the blonde's neather regains? Sasuke didn't like it, not one bit.
Sakura de-attached herself from Sasuke and Naruto and looked Naruto over, before shaking her head.
"You should go home and recharge," She said, eyeing the way Naruto leaned most of his weight on Sasuke "and make sure you eat real food, not ramen"
Naruto looked scandalized. "Ramen is food!" he said, offended "Ramen is packed full of nutrition and salty goodness!"
"No way, it's a bowl full of empty calories; you may as well eat cardboard." Kakashi chimed in, never looking up from his book.
"You are all ignorant!" Naruto yelled before groaning and holding his head.
"Time to leave," Sasuke finally spoke, making his way down the stairs, 'Damn I wish I still had my chakra so I could just teleport, stupid hag.' He complained mentally.
"Hey, where are you going teme?" Naruto mumbled, the drain beginning to get the best of him, "my house is in the opposite direction."
"You're staying with me, no way are we living in your shanty of an apartment." Sasuke stated making his way towards his compound.
"My apartment is not a shanty, asshole." Naruto said half-heartedly, "and if I have to baby sit your pale ass, you better be more polite."
"Hn"
"Oh great, back to single syllables," Naruto grumbled "and here I thought we were making progress."
WHEW, well here we are! Like it? Love it? Want some more of it? Magic button~ you know the drill. Oh and thank you to all of those who sent reviews!
