If I have a 100 voters for the poll I will start writing the story. Please keep that in mind! There may be a lot of mistakes since I didn't have the time to correct them.

I don't own Naruto nor do I make money out of this.

Sakura closed the door of her house. She turned the the key and put it in her pocket.

"Sakuraaaaa-chan!"

Sakura flinched at the loud voice. There was only one person who called her like that... she turned around to face the person and waved. "What's wrong Lee?" Sakura blinked when not only Lee was standing there, but everyone of the rookie nine and team gai. Also the sensei were present.

Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Lee, Neji, TenTen, Ino, Chouji, Shikimaru, Kurenai, Kakashi, Iruka and of course Gai.

"w-what are you all doing here?" she asked, a little bit scared. Ino took a step forward and a deep breath. "Sakura, we all heard that the demon assassin was in Konoha. And we heard that you knew where he is." She wiggled with her eyebrows for extra effect.

"who told you this?!" When everyone pointed to Kakashi he just shrugged. Sakura shook her head and rolled her eyes. "why do you want to meet him?"

"Because they say he is so strong that he easlily can take on all of us. We want to see what kind of person he is." Kurenai said. Sakura shot a look at Kakashi who just smiled apologisingly.

Sakura looked at the people. "I don't get you at al- you know what, never mind. Let's go. But after you have seen him, immidiately leave."

The group nodded and Sakura sighed. She hoped she was not going to get into any trouble with this.

The group started walking and after the first turn Sakura already regretted her decision. Kankuro, Temari and Gaara smiled. Well, Temari and Kankuro did. Gaara looked between a mix of 'I'm going to kill everybody' and 'I hate the world.'

"let me guess, you want to see the demon assassin." Sakura sighed.

The three nodded. "I want to see, Ya-chan very soon. We haven't seen him in a while. I was so thrilled when I heard he was in Konoha!" Temari said smiling.

"ya-chan?" Ino asked. It was a wonder that she was able to speak with her jaw on the floor. Temari just nodded. "We know him for a couple of years now. He did a lot of missions for Sunagakure. Ne, Kankuro, Gaara?" the brothers nodded. For some reason Gaara started to look at the ground instead of looking up.

So the sand siblings just followed the group. When Sakura turned into a street Ino suddenly yelled. "No way!"

The group stared at her and she walked to Sakura, grabbed her shoulder and started to shake her. "You aren't doing what I'm thinking that you're doing?!"

Sakura freed herself from Ino's grip and dustedof some invisible dust. "I'm leading you to the place to meet the demon assassin."

"But were going to Sasuke-kun's house!"

"I know, that's were we're heading to."

It took a few seconds before the bomb was dropped. Everyone started shouting and shooting questions at poor Sakura. Temari and Kankuro took a step away from their borther who had a very dark aura around him. His eyes started to glow a very creepy red...

"Calm down! Everyone calm down!" Sakura waited till everyone was quiet again. "Yasuo-kun is staying at Sasuke's house because Yasuo-kun doesn't have the money to stay at an inn. Sasuke will be his sort of bodyguard till the end of the jounin exams."

"is the demon assassin going to take the jouninexams?!"

"is he getting to stay here for free?"

"is his name Yasuo?!"

"why at Sasuke's house?"

Sakura only needed to glare. That was enough to get everyone to shut up. "Yes, yes, Ryu Yasuo and I don't know." The group calmed down again. "Now, can we go again...?"

There was a silence and nobody said a thing. "I said, can we go again?!" sakura asked, getting irritated. The group hastily nodded and followed Sakura all the way to the Uchiha mansion.

/////00000\\\\\

Sasuke was very irritated. Not a little bit irritated. No. Highly I'm gonna kill you if you don't shut up irritated. To bad the reason of his irritation seemed to be stronger than him.

Yasuo grabbed the kunai Sasuke had thrown at him. Before the fire reached Yasuo he dissapeared only to breath in Sasuke's neck. Sasuke turned around but before e could even move a mussle his face was placed on the ground. Again.

"Sasuke, I told you that you should not use the fire justu unless you need to."

Sasuke just grunted. Yasuo let out a snicker. He didn't leave his spot on Sasuke's back. "how the hell did you get so strong?" he mummbled in the earth. Yasuo raised his eyebrows. "I have a reason to fight."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. he sighed. "we all have a reason to fight."

Yasuo sighed. "Sasuke, what reason are you fighting for?" Sasuke clenched his fist, taking a deep breath to control his anger. Yasuo notices that Sasuke tensed. "Sasuke, was your only goal really to defeat Uchiha Itachi?"

"...yes" Sasuke snorted. "You've taken away my reason to fight."

"No, I did not."

"You've killed my brother."

"yes, I did. But I did not take away your reason to fight."

Sasuke bucked his hips and Yasuo stood up. Sasuke dusted himself of and glared at Yasuo. "what do you mean?"

"why are you fighting?"

Sasuke opened his mouth to say something but noting came out of it. After a seconde he closed his mouth and closed his eyes. After a few seconds he opened them again. "to become stronger."

"sasuke, I know you are fighting to become stronger. But what is the reason behind it? Everyone fights to become stronger."

"I don't know yet."

"you already know. You are fighting right now, you are going to take the jounin exams. You did not quit with all those things which means you are fighting with a reason."

"then why are you fighting?"

"..." Yasuo's expression turned dark and he looked away from Sasuke's gaze.

"you said Sound took something from you."

"yes, I did."

"what did they take?"

"My love."

Sasuke had already a clever comment on his tongue, but he swallowed it when teh answer was different then he had thought. "Your love? But you said you never felt 'the butterflies'..."

Yasuo smiled sadly. "that is because I realised I loved him when he was already gone."

There fell a silence where nothing was said. Yasuo closed his eyes. Sasuke looked worried at the man in front of him. "sometimes we only realize what we lost when it is already gone."

Sasuke looked up at the words that left Yasuo's mouth. Sasuke clenched his fists. "When Naruto's name was written on the memorial stone, I realized how much I missed him."

"Is he your reason to fight?"

Sasuke snickered sadly. "He's dead remember?"

"Is he your reason to fight?"

"didn't you heard me? He is dead."

"That is not what I asked. Is he your reason to fight?"

"Are you deaf?! He is dead." Sasuke hissed. He felt the anger boil in him. "He is dead. Naruto's dead."

'why didn't I stop him?'

"He's dead!"

'Why did I let him leave?'

"He's fucking dead!"

'Why do I miss him so much?'

"He is fucking DEAD!"

'why am I crying?'

"He's dead because I fucking killed him!

'It's all my fault.'

"He's dead! I let him leave! My reason to fight left me and I let it escape through my fingers! It...just...slipped away..."

Sasuke stared at his hands, if he saw the blood on them, Naruto's blood. Yasuo looked worried at the crying man.

'He probably has been piling up his emtions and not letting them out.'

'Sasuke alway had a little trouble with that.'

'Kit, I actually came here to warn ye. A group is coming this way. Bitch in front. It will take them two minutes to come here.'

'thanks for telling me earlier.'

'You were busy letting emo-kid cry, I didn't saw he right moment.'

'Fine, fine. It does not matter. Thanks.'

"no problem."

Yasuo looked into the direction where he smelled the different scents. Then he looked at Sasuke, who was still crying, without sound, staring at his hands. Yasuo cursed. This was not going the way he wanted it to go.

Yasuo grabbed a kunai and shot it to Sasuke. It went past his arm and landed in a tree. Sasuke looked shocked at the small cut that was now turning red from the blood. Sasuke glared at Yasuo and grabbed a kunai of his own.

"their coming."

Sasuke looked confused for a second before he suddenly sensed the people coming into their direction. Sasuke looked at Yasuo, who stood ready with a kunai in his hands.

Sasuke ran up to Yasuo his kunai in front of him, aiming to block yasuo's kunai. Just before the kunai's touched. Sasuke whispered something which made Yasuo smile. Sasuke's smile dissapeared just as fast as it had come and his glare was looking at Yasuo now. Naruto knew that it was because Sasuke didn't wanted everyone to worry about him.

"Thanks."
