Chapter 4

The moment the pinkette girl stepped out of the Uchiha's appartment, she knew that the day would be great. The sun was already high in the sky and it lit in all of it glory.

'It feels good today.' Sakura didn't know why, but she suddenly felt happy, as if her life couldn't be better at the moment. Could it be because she spent the night at Sasuke's? Of course, she was alone in his appartment but, his bed was comfortable and scent of him filled the place...

The kunoichi immediatly denied the last thought that came across her mind. She couldn't give herself in, she promised to herself that she would forget about him and she must do it.

It was for her own good.

However, for today, she couldn't care less about it, she just wanted to enjoy the day. She increased her speed toward the headquarter, where her shishou would be waiting for her training. She wasn't late, but it wouldn't botter anyone if she arrived earlier then expected.

'Sakura!'

The young girl turned around to see that her best friend, Ino, was in front of her store, watering the flowers.

'Good morning Ino!' Sakura smiled widely to the other kunoichi.

'Wow, it has been a long I didn't see you so happy. It is because of- Sasuke's return?' wisphered Ino to herself.

'You said something ?' asked Sakura.

'No-no, I was just saying that it's a good thing that you're... You know, I have been worried about you since... forever!' Ino couldn't think of anything else and managed to answer with the few idea that came accross her mind.

'Thanks Ino, I know that you always take care of me and I'm grateful for that. But you don't need to worry about me, you should take care of yourself instead. So how are things between you and Shikamaru?' asked the pinkette girl.

The blondy girl suddenly dropped the watering can.

'Ino?'

'I heard that you're going out with Sai. That's unexpected of you. You always told me that you would never, but NEVER go out with someone so similar to him' said the blondy girl angrily, 'I thought that between us we would never hide any secret and share everything-'

'Ino...'

'And guess what, I heard it by Naruto, he was talking about it with Sasuke-kun yesterday at the Ichikaru's store.'

'Ino...' Sakura was leaning closer to her and grabbed her arm, 'Ino, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ask about Shikamaru, so I believe things aren't swell as they should be.'

'He left! He left!' Ino's eyes were filled with tears, 'The day before he left for his mission, I wasn't even able to tell him how much he had to take care of himself and that he must come back safely. Instead of that, we were arguing-' Sakura interruped her friend by hugging her, 'Everything will be fine, I'm here for you, okay?'

'Sakura... I really don't want to lose him.'

Before Sakura headed to her final destination, she decided to spend a little time with Ino and explained everything that happened the day before. They spoke to each other as if they never had before, but time was short and Sakura left to meet with Tsunade-sama.

'So you lied? Why?' Ino's voice was still echoing.

Unfortunatly, she didn't know the answer. That was a good question: Why did she had to lie? Perhaps, somewhere in her heart, she had wished Sasuke to be jealous, or at least, to show some reaction. She was confused of her own thoughts.

'I guess today will be plain as usual...' sighed Sakura as she walked down the road, not as happily as this morning.

xoxox

'Atchoom!' Sasuke sneezed and woke up on a cold floor.

'Bless you,' said a voice.

Where the hell am I?

Sasuke stood up and looked around him.

Shit, I'm stuck in a...

The room wasn't huge and its width could barely accomodate a bed. Unlike ordinary rooms that contained four walls, this room only contained three stone walls and the fouth side of the built place was replaced by metal bars.

... cell.

'We want you to answer a few question concerning your return to the village' a masked man was sitting on a chair in front of Sasuke, 'What's you real purpose for returning?' Sasuke recognized the mask. The mask was painted in dark blue and white, only two holes were pierced so we could see the man's eyes. Also, his clothes were all in black, he was definitly from the Anbu.

'I-' Sasuke couldn't answer, he didn't understood why he ended up here. He thought that since he had gone to Tsunade's office, everything would be fine, but it seemed that there were still some misunderstandings, 'I've already explain everything to the Hokage. I don't see why you guys, the Anbu, wouldn't know about it. I think there is some misunderstandings' said the Uchiha calmly.

'You didn't answer my question! Why did you come back? For what-' the man was interrupted by someone who came in. He wasn't wearing a mark, but instead, he wore a jacket and we could easily recognize that he's a Jounin.

'We have to release him, we do not have enough proof to keep him here' the Anbu stood up and was about to argue but the Jounin continued, 'That's Tsunade-sama orders, I don't think you want to disobey. Plus, you guys didn't had the mandat to arrest him.'

'But we have investigate and everything are leading to him! Also, look at his wound arm!'

'The incident only occur last night, it's not enough!'

'I understand that he's one of your old friend, but-'

'I'm not doing this because I know him since I was a teen!' Sasuke finally recognized him. He had long brown hair, his eyes were pale and he didn't changed a bit, he was still impatient when thing weren't done as it should be.

'Orders are orders, so just do like I said!' hissed the Hyuuga boy.

The Anbu man sighed, stood up and went to the cell, 'You will definitly regret this. Now go on, you are free, but not for that long, gaki.'

Hyuuga Neji wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. He never enjoyed this hideout since the first time he had to interrogate an assassin who had mudered hundred of victimes in the Rice Village and caused many nightmares to his teamate, Tenten. He remembered how his scent was horrible and how his eyes were filled of rage.

'Neji' called Sasuke, 'Thanks for earlier.'

'Like I said, I'm not doing this because we were acquaintance from the past' repeated Neji as they were heading outside.

'Hn.'

'But I have to admit that I'm still curious.'

'About what?' asked the dark haired boy.

'Why did you come back? Feeling some remorses after all these years? Or perhaps, since your big brother is dead...' Neji couldn't continue, 'I'm sorry, I should have mind my own thing since Naruto and Sakura aren't making a big fuss over it.'

'Naruto is fine, but Sakura...'

'I see... Well, leaving a girl on a bench, that was a bit ...'

'...'

'Yeah, I should mind my own thing' said Neji, 'I have to go, I have to meet Tenten.' He was about to turn to the next stop but Sasuke held him.

'Wait. I want to know why I was in at the hideout earlier.'

'You don't know yet?'

'Don't know what?'

xoxox

'Come in !' yelled the Godaime, 'Ahh! Sakura.'

'Shishou' Sakura bowed to her master, 'So what do you want me to do for today's training?'

'Cancel' said briefly the Hokage. Sakura was shocked, she just had a day off yesterday, why would she canceled today as well?

'Why?'

'Because...'

xoxox

'Well, it concern Sakura' said calmy Neji.

'What happen to her?' said brutly the other boy.

'This morning, around 2 AM, we found a dead corpse.'

'And how that's relate to Sakura?' asked impatiently Sasuke.

'I'm not done. Actually, Sakura's...'

xoxox

Sakura stood in front of her shishou, waiting for her to explain what is happening.

'Sakura...?' asked softly Tsunade as she got closer to her apprentice.

'Yes?'

'I want you to listen carefully to me, and when you will heard it, no matter what. You have to stay in the office and not leave until I say so.'

'Yes, of course.'

'I will get to the point, I know that you're wondering what's on my mind' the Godaime paused, seeking for words, 'Your...'

Even if the sky was blue and the sun was high in the sky and lit with all of it glory.

Even if today Sakura felt a bit happier for once...

'...father is dead' said at the same time Neji and Tsunade.

...there is no way that happiness would remain within her soul, since they just shattered it away.
