-----------------------

The cold air felt refreshing to Sakura after being in the Hokage's office for so long as she stood on the roof.
Sasuke had just got done filling them in about his reason for being here.
He came to protect us. To make sure Kabuto didn't kill us like he had promised. He also came to ask for help.

'I need you guys.'
Sasuke's voice whispered in her head.

Sakura wrapped her arms around her protectively. It was strange hearing that from him.
Sasuke Uchiha asking for someone's help. All the time they have spent together as a team, and she couldn't remember, not even once, if Sasuke has ever asked for help. In the end, Naruto still wasn't convinced but he seemed to relax more and had gone back home with Pervy-Sage.
Kakashi-sensi, Sasuke, and Lady Tsunade were talking down in the office still.

Sakura slowly sank down and carefully sat on top of the roof and pulled her knees up and hug them to her chest as she stared out at the village. She breathed in deep, closed her eyes and let the wind flow around her. This had been what she always done as a way to relax during a stressful day or whenever Sasuke filled her thoughts.

Sakura felt something brush her face. Before she could open her eyes, she could already feel someone sit beside her.
"Aren't you cold?"
She cast her eyes sideways and Sasuke stared at her waiting for an answer as she had hesitated.
"N-no. I'm fine. You get use to it."

She dropped her head slightly onto her knees and stared out at the village again.
She saw in the corner of eye that Sasuke smiled and also turned to watch the village.

Suppressing her own small smile, Sakura tried to break the silence.
"So, why aren't you down there with everyone else? Is your meeting over?"

Sasuke shrugged.
"Lady Tsunade, Jiryira and Kakashi-sensi wanted some time with just them so they kicked me out. I told them I would go and patrol the village for Kabuto but I don't think he'll attack right now."
"Why do you say that?"
"Tsunade-sama alerted the ANBU about whats going on. They're stationed all around the village."

Sakura nodded mostly to herself, having spotted a few ANBU when she first got outside.
"So, what brought you up here then?"

Sasuke glanced over at her.
"I don't have anywhere to stay for the night so I have no where better to be. So, What's your excuse?"

She glanced down to hide her guilt. Honestly, she wanted to see if she could find out anymore details from Lady Tsunade after everyone left but she couldn't tell Sasuke that.

"uh.. I thought I'd stick around for a while in case Tsunade-sama needed me for anything. Besides, its a nice night."
She gestured out into the night.

The moon was full and beautiful and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky.
Sasuke nodded in agreement.
"The village looks nice"

Silence washed over them for quite some time.
Sakura didn't really mind but it was getting late. She knew she was definitely getting up early tomorrow.
She glanced shyly at Sasuke.

"Um.. Sasuke, I should--"
".. be getting home?" He chuckled as he finished her sentence.
"I thought so..."

She blushed again and nodded but didn't make a move to leave.
Instead, She stood and watched Sasuke as he turned to look at her.
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude or anything."

The smile he gave her made her heart speed up slightly.
"Don't worry about me."
He said waving her away.
"I'll be fine for the night. I'll see you tomorrow."

She smiled and nodded.
"Right. See you then"
She jumped down off the roof and vanished into the darkness below it, knowing Sasuke's smile followed after her.
