Sorry that the chapters are so short! My long chapters are probably going to be in the story later I hope!
Chapter 4
Sasuke woke up today and was determined to find out what was wrong with Sakura. When he left, he saw ANBU ninjas waiting to escort him. He walked through the village, receiving glares and whispers from the villagers. He knew that it would happen so he ignored all of it. He went to the one place that he was sure to find the dobe. When he arrived he looked at the sign. Ichiraku Ramen Store
Today was the day that he was finally going to get some answers. He entered the store and just as he predicted, Naruto was having ramen with Kakashi.
"Yea and then the cat went...Oh Sasuke-Teme!" Sasuke rolled his eyes. Naruto was muttering his nonsense again. As Sasuke joined them, Naruto ordered ramen for him. Then he turned to Sasuke.
"Whatcha here for?" Sasuke looked at his with a raised eyebrow.
"What, I can't join my comrade for ramen?"
"Come on Sasuke, I know you WAYYYY better than that. You would rather eat dirt then spend a day with me." Naruto said with a smirk. Sasuke felt a twinge in his heart. Does he see me like that? (THIS IS NOT NARUSASU! EW.) He sighed and told him the real reason why he had come.
"Fine, I came to ask you a question. What happened to Sakura?" Naruto's eyes dimmed and he stopped eating. Kakashi excused himself as he knew they should be alone. Kakashi also gestured for the ANBU to leave.
"Its complicated. Are you ready?" Sasuke looked at him confused.
"Y...yes"
"You already know that you shattered her when you left. She locked herself in her house for 3 days. Tsunade baba eventually had to knock her door down. It turned out that she had starved herself and was about to start cutting." Sasuke dropped his chopsticks. He was shocked to say the least.
"An...And then?" Naruto had stopped eating and was standing up.
"Let us take this elsewhere." With that, Sasuke paid for the meal and left with Naruto. He had no idea where he was going. At last Naruto stopped. They seemed to be in the middle of the forest. Naruto sat down, much to Sasuke's surprise.
"Here is good. It's more private." Sasuke sat down as Naruto continued.
"When Sakura returned to society she had changed drastically. Her hairstyle was different. Her outfit changed from pink to black. She didn't talk to anyone, unless it had to do with missions or getting stronger. She trained with the strongest shinobis in the village. She even left to train with Gaara. And when they came to stay in Konoha, Gaara was beat up fairly badly whereas Sakura only had a few scratches " Sasuke's eyes widened. Gaara is one of the most powerful shinobi's, to have train with him is possible but he never imagined that Sakura could defeat him as well.
"When Sakura finished training, she was promoted to ANBU before anyone of us had." Sasuke's mouth was now wide open. S...Sakura made ANBU?!
"That still doesn't explain why he hated the word Uchiha. Explain." Naruto lowered his head.
"Sorry Sasuke, I can tell you anything but that. I think we are done here" With that he walked off, leaving Sasuke the option of only staring after him. He walked back to the village. Since he was still thinking about Sakura, he wasn't looking where he was going and he crashed into someone. He looked down at the figure.
"Look where you're going, stupid"
"Back at you dickhead" Sasuke widened his eyes. His onyx eyes met sharp but dull emerald ones. He had crashed into Sakura.
"Sakura..." He was about to help her up when she got up by herself and brushed right past him. Without thinking, Sasuke suddenly grabbed her arm to stop her. Sakura stopped and looked back at him with eyes filled with hatred. Sasuke unconsciously gulped and his mouth didn't move.
"Eh...Sakura..." Suddenly it hit him; if he couldn't get it out of Naruto then he'd just ask her. He recomposed and said
"Why do you hate me so?" Sakura's eyes held more anger then before but then bowed her head.
"You know why" And was about to free herself but Sasuke held tighter.
"I meant why you hate the Uchiha's so much?!" Sasuke was getting a bit pissed. But so was Sakura.
"IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS" She yanked herself free but Sasuke caught her again.
"I'm not letting you go until you tell me."
"Let go"
"No"
"Let go!"
"No"
"DAMN IT LET GO" she yelled, and in a flash she had a kunai to his throat. "Don't get cocky" She said through clenched teeth.
"Back at you" She looked down and saw a kunai aimed at her abdomen. She sighed. In a flash, she yanked free, grabbed kunai and pointed both at him. Sasuke was shocked. When did she learn to move like that.
"I said don't get cocky." When she was sure that he understood. She turned to walk back the other way; she slipped the kunai back into his holster and said
"I will be referred as Haruno by the likes of you" With that, she walked off. Sasuke stared at her almost in longing. He snapped out of it. He was Uchiha, he doesn't go to the girl, the girl goes to him. So he decided to wait and see how things turn out. He turned back to walk back to his house.
