SASUKE RETURNS (chapter 7)

(3 years went by)

Sakura was still being trained under Tsunade. She was also very good at being a medic Nin now. Her healing things are pass Tsunade's healing powers, too. She went over to the hospital.

The lady at the desk said, "Sakura you have a new patient to see today,"

"Hai"

She went into room five on the first floor and opened the door. She saw Tsunade and Naruto ad Kakashi looking at someone in the bed.

She asked Tsunade, "Who's my new patient today, Tsunade?"

"No one in particular," Tsunade said.

Sakura went over to the person in bed and saw that it was Sasuke Uchiha. She looked at him, but she didn't show any expression on her face, for she was over him after all those years. She was still looking at him then turned over to Tsunade and looked at her for further instructions.

"I healed all of his major wounds, but the only thing that isn't healed right now is his eyes."

"I'll see what I can do with it"

Sakura went over to Sasuke's and started to heal his eyes. But then stopped and asked him, "When you were with Orochimaru, did you keep your sharingon on all the time?"

"Hai" was all that Sasuke said.

"There's a ten percent chance that I won't be able to heal your eyes, but I'll see what I can do."

Sasuke nodded his head like he understands.

"Would you like the surgery tomorrow or right now?"

"Right now would be great"

"Ok then, I'll start right away. Tsunade, can you bring me a cup of water?"

"Sure, but what is it for?"

"You'll see," Sakura said with a smile on her face.

Tsunade looked over at Sakura with a questioning face, but didn't say anything. She went out and came back with a cup of water. Sakura made the water go over to Sasuke. She then made fire come out to warm up the water so it wouldn't be so cold. She put the water over Sasuke's eyes and let the water do its magic.

The chakra in the water (remember Sakura has the ability to make the water heal and have chakra) turned green and it started to heal and she could tell that Sasuke was absorbing the chakra making the chakra go by fast. So she made a skin like layer of water with chakra and put it over Sasuke. She sat down over at the chair and sighed. Tsunade was very astonished at what Sakura had just done. She looked dazed along with Naruto and Kakashi.

Naruto finally asked, "Aren't you suppose to use your chakra and heal Sasuke and not water?"

"yeah but it takes too much chakra, besides this way is a bit better, as long as there's enough water, Sasuke would be heal in no time. He just needs to have a little rest and the operation will be going on until a couple of days."

"When did you learn that? You have to tell me how you did it," said Tsunade.

"It's complicated to say and explain to a normal person"

"Does this have to do with the things you showed me?"

"Hai"

Naruto and Kakashi looked over from Sakura then over to Tsunade with confusion in their eyes.

"Then you can tell me later,"

Sakura nodded and went over at Sasuke to see if he was asleep or not. She looked at him and she can till he was listening to the conversation and wasn't asleep yet. She thought 'he look kind of cute sleeping like that.'

She whispered in his ear and said, "Go to sleep Sasuke, you need your rest."

"Hn"

Sakura looked at him and just smiled and went back over to Naruto and said, "Stay with him I'll go and get you some ramen. If something happens to him, report to me immediately. Oh, and don't touch the water, it's his healing water. I'll come back as quick as I can."

Naruto said, "Hai"

Sakura went out of the room and made her chakra go over to her feet and ran over to the ramen bar and bought two bowls of ramen and paid it. She was careful not to spell any ramen and carried it over to the hospital. She opened the door to find Neji, Ino, Hinata, Chouji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Tenten, Shino, and Lee were all in the room talking to Naruto and looking over at Sasuke who was in the bed. She passed the others and handed the other bowl of ramen to Naruto.

He said, "thank you Sakura-chan"

"Your welcome, Naruto. Why's everyone here?"

"We heard roomers that Sasuke was back and came here to see him, only to find a puddle of water on his eyes," said Neji with and expressionless face.

"Oh that's the chakra that heals his eyes during surgery," said Sakura.

"You mean to say you put it there?" asks Ino.

"Yeah, now excuse me I have to replace it with a new puddle of fresh water," said Sakura.

She went over to the bowl of water and put it over Sasuke's eyes while the other one was being absorbed again. She saw him open his mouth as if to say something, but shut it back up again.

Neji used his bloodline, byakugan, to see the water that was turning green, and he was shocked but didn't show his emotions.

Hinata looked over at Neji and used her bloodline, byakugan, and gasped.

Everyone looked at her and Naruto asked, "What's wrong?"

"The water…..on Sasuke-kun's……eyes are filled…….with tons and……tons of chakra," said Hinata as her bloodline was fading away.

"I'm surprise you didn't notice it while I was gone. It's filled with chakra right now," giggles Sakura.

"why is it that when I look over at the bowl of water that I don't see chakra but plain water, but when I look at the one on Sasuke's eyes, it's filled with chakra?" asks Neji.

"To make the story short, that's one of the talent that I learned when Tsunade was teaching me how to heal," said Sakura hoping that they will buy the lie.' How can I tell them that I always known how to do that ever since I was a very little kid,' thought Sakura.

Neji just nodded and went out of the door and the rest fallowed. Naruto went with Hinata, only Ino stayed. She sat at the other chair and looked over at Sakura then over at Sasuke who was in the bed. Sasuke was acting like he was asleep, because he wasn't even tired at all. He was thinking on how much the others will look, especially Sakura.

Finally Ino broke up the silence going on between them and said, "Sakura, I know you still like Sasuke-kun."

Sasuke soon was interested in the conversation and listened to the conversation. Sakura didn't say anything, she just looked over at her best friend and then over at Sasuke in the bed.

Ino continued on, "come on, just admit it, you still like him."

"It's not easy to explain ok. You have to go through what I've been through. Ino just because that were best friends, that doesn't mean that there are time s that I can't tell you things about my past. Yeah I do still like him and all, but I don't like him like a boyfriend any more. I like him as…..well….as my own little brother who I have to look after. It was a promise that I made to someone."

"So you made a promise not to love Sasuke-kun?"

"No…..I made a promise to….I can't tell you….it brings back painful memories."

"So you like…no….love him as your own brother and much more?"

"Yeah, I guess you can say that,"

"Does this have to do anything about your past life?"

"Hai"

"Why don't you just tell me?"

"You won't believe me even I told you the truth."

"Try me."

"Don't feel like it."

"Fine then, be that way."

Sakura remained silent and looked over at the ground. Ino just got up and left the building. Sasuke soon had tons of questions going through his mind right now. Thinking about what happened to Sakura and her pass.
