Authors note; sorry it took me so long to add chapter five guys (some issues to result) but anyway, here's chapter six and I how you guys like it. This one is going to be a little different because I usually speak as Sakura's opinion but this time I am going to speak in Sasuke's opinion and feelings.

I DON'T OWN NARUTO!

Chapter 6

An unexpected day

Sakura and her love, Sasuke never had a blink of sleep as the night passed by. The day before had been hard for the green-orbed young lady, because Lady Tsunade had passed from a horrible sickness, leaving the medical issues for her to deal with and the whole of the Leaf village for Sasuke to deal with. On the outside, he was really happy to be Hokage and was proud that the sensei had chosen him but on the inside – where he wouldn't let anyone in or see – he was truly uncertain of his position; debating whether he was ready for such a responsibility. Though the day to come was not one to be unsure of himself, it was a day where he would present himself to the Leaf Village as the new Hokage and for that, he need to show confidence. Of course he didn't want everyone to question Lady Tsunade's judgement of picking him as the new leader so he was going to show humility and pride in himself and his new position in the village.

"Sasuke?"

Sakura's voice was music to his ears and couldn't help but smile as she entered the room. He looked up from the remaining paperwork to gaze upon the pink-haired ninja that stood before him.

"Yes Sakura?" He replied.

"Could I speak with you?" She asked quietly.

"Sure." Sasuke put down his writing material and gave his attention to her, though he wondered what this was about.

"I'm nervous. I'm unsure of myself and being ready for this."

No one had really spoken to Sasuke about their problems and feelings, because of this, was unsure what to say to Sakura; he knew that she felt deeply about this and didn't want to make her feel worse in anyway. He wondered to himself if he could trust he -, the person who had been his team mate as a child and the person who was so persistent and followed him around because she had a huge crush on his - with his feelings; the feelings he hadn't shown to anyone except for Itachi, but that was a long time ago, when he was still a small child.

"To tell you the truth Sakura, I am too."

Her eyes widened at this; she had always thought of Sasuke as the proud type; who never doubted himself or his position, but on the contrary, this was a lot more serious than simple competition in a battle, this was taking care for a whole village.

"I know Sakura, it's not like me to be nervous or open up, but …" Sasuke realised what he was going to say next and found that it might be a little sudden for her. He wanted to say that he trusted her but wasn't sure how she would react to it and so he never finished his sentence.

"Sakura, in my honest opinion," He got up from his chair and walked across the room to where she stood, motionless. "I don't think you have to worry; your speciality is medical Jutsu –," He had been interrupted by her.

"What's that supposed to mean Sasuke?" She enquired angrily. "Are you saying that I'm not good enough as a ninja or that -," He interrupted her.

"Stop jumping to conclusions!" He told her, who immediately stopped talking. "If you'd let me finish, I was going to say that you are a great ninja and have nothing to worry about. And no, I am not saying that you are not good enough as a ninja because I've seen you put a lot of guys on their butts." He finished.

She didn't actually know what to say because she had never really been complimented like that from Sasuke.

"Do you mean it?" She asked, making sure.

"Of course I do Sakura, and I'm not just saying that because I don't want you here, I'm saying that because it's the truth."

She, as if compelled, wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. He was stunned by this and didn't know what to do but stand there until she let go and he recovered from shock to continue with his unfinished work. The pink-haired Jonin slowly let go as she realised what she was actually doing and looked at up Sasuke who looked dumbstruck. She tried not to laugh by his expression but held it in.

"I'm sorry I don't know what came over me …"

"It's alright Sakura." His voice was calm and gentle. She smiled at him and walked for the door but turned back.

"Oh Sasuke, you'll do great as our new Hokage."

She left the room as he stood there with a small smile on his face. At that moment he felt something that he hadn't felt in a long time, but it was so long ago that he didn't recognise it properly, but it was warm and happy and excitement. Was it love? Did he love Sakura? Or was it some foreign hallucination that lingered inside his brain? Either way, he was going to find out sooner or Later but he had to finish the paperwork that lay untouched on his new desk.

After their work had been completed they went home and had a few hours to sleep before the night to come; the presentation ceremony.

Sasuke and Sakura went back to their work before the sun set, at which he had to prepare himself. He dressed in the ceremonial Hokage outfit before the celebration began. The streets were lit with lamps and there were decorations all over to represent the celebration. Everyone had gathered in the streets of the Hidden Leaf and went to the place were the presentation would be held. The whole village was filled with mixed emotions of sadness (the passing of their old Hokage) and excitement (the presentation of their new Hokage).

Everyone dressed into special clothes symbolising their respect toward their new ruler.

Earlier that day, Sasuke had told Naruto – his best friend – the news of his new position in the village, Naruto by which was thrilled and happy for Sasuke. The black-haired ninja had asked Naruto to say a few words about Lady Tsunade's passing at the presentation ceremony, who said that he'd be happy to. He'd also asked Sakura to be the one to start the celebration. She as nervous to do this and wouldn't have but agreed to do it because it was Sasuke who had asked her to.

Many people knew that Sasuke had become Hokage because the word spreads very fast, but there were some who were still in the dark about the whole situation.

"Good evening everyone," Sakura started as she stood in front of the large crowd. "I would like to thank you all for coming here tonight. As most of you may know, yesterday was a hard day for all of us, I'm sure; it was the day of Lady Tsunade's passing," She stopped to take a deep breath. "But today, our hope is restored, for we now have a new Hokage, one that will follow in Lady Tsunade's foot steps and one who will lead us into greatness." As she stopped Sasuke came forward with a man.

There was silence as everyone watched a strange ceremony that shows Sasuke as the new Hokage by signing a scroll held by the man. As this passed, Sasuke stood in front of everyone while the bowed to show their respects. He bowed back and signalled for everyone to resume their standing position.

"Good evening," He began. "Standing in front of you all is a great privilege. Lady Tsunade chose me to take her place as Hokage and I am grateful to her that she saw something in me that was worthy of leadership and responsibility. Today, as I have presented myself as the new Hokage of the great Hidden Leaf Village, I make my promise to you all that I will not take advantage of my responsibility and positions of leadership, that I will look and care for this village as the past Hokage's have done." He stopped to take a breath. "This village has been brought up in greatness and has a strong history that cannot be removed, even over time, and I promise to continue that history with out new generation warriors and leaders. I promise to nurture our young and train our growing generation with strength, discipline and hope. I promise to make the better decisions for our well being and I promise not to drive our people into the ground. This new generation is one filled with hope and courage, as it will stay."

Applause filled the silence as he finished speaking. Sasuke left the spotlight and Sakura took his place.

"My best respects to our new Hokage." She bowed in his direction to show her individual respects. "As now to show our gratitude toward Lady Tsunade, I would like for Naruto to say a few words." She left and Naruto took her place.

"I am honoured to have the opportunity to say a few words to my passed sensei." He began. "Lady Tsunade was a great woman, full of wisdom and kindness. She lifted up our hope and led us into greatness. She was committed to her work and did everything to the best of her ability. Lady Tsunade was a woman who gave her all to something. She was a determined person who never gave up or ran from a fight. I am privileged to have known such a woman and I am sad to have to let her go, but I am glad she had put so much effort into building up Konoha. I know that choosing Sasuke as the new Hokage was a wise decision and I know that he will do greatly in her place."

Applause filled the space again as he finished. As he walked off of the stage, he bowed toward the Black-haired Hokage and smiled his usual happy grin. Sasuke knew that Naruto would have been a great leader and expected him to become Hokage but now that Sasuke was the Hokage, he knew that Naruto would stand by him and hold him up as a friend and as a person of compassion and kindness, the kind of person Naruto was born as.

The night was successful and everyone seemed happy that Sasuke had taken Lady Tsunade's place as Hokage and leader of the village. He changed out of the ceremonial clothes and went to his office. On the way there he caught a glimpse of Sakura.

"Sakura," He called. She stopped in her tracks and walked to him.

"Yes Sasuke?" She said.

"I wanted to tell you that you did great out there." He told her.

She blushed slightly and looked down to hide her face. "Thank you Sasuke. I found you speech wonderful."

"Thank you." He said with a side smile, a smile that left her breathless with butterflies.

"Good night Sakura." He said after a pause. "Have a great night."

He turned to leave but was surprised to see that she had run in front of him. He tilted his head slightly as he was bewildered. Sakura took his neck within her hands and pulled him down. She then kissed him where they stood. At first he was surprised but that feeling turned into pleasure. He placed his hands on her hips, afterwards she pulled away and smiled in success.

"Good night Sasuke." She said and kissed him again.

Sakura then turned and left him where he stood. Sasuke was more bewildered than ever at this. How long had she planned to do that?

After a few minutes of motionlessly standing there, he turned and left to his office to continue with his work. The whole night to follow, he thought about what had happened between them and couldn't help but think when it was going to happen again.
