A/N: this originally wasn't going to be a sasu/saku pairing…simply because I loathe the stupid pairing with all the strength I have. It was SUPPOSED to be a continuation of "Determination". Yeah, that FAILED. Why do I write about stuff I hate? bangs head on desk.

He hides in the bushes, watching her train amidst the foam and mist that clings to the air that is the result of the waterfall behind her.
Masked in chakra-enforced henge, tope brown now replaces midnight hair, skin tone 2 shades darker covers up his pale complexion. And to top it off, a black trench coat, hiding the signature fan symbol of the Uchiha clan from view.
He watches her, admiring her new determination, and her skill and power as each move is thrust with precision. Such is the power of the new pupil of Tsunade, one of the three legendary sannin.
Watching listlessly at a girl who remains blissfully unaware, he is lost in his fantasies. A fantasy consisting of him and her together, and what a pair they'd make.
He knows he has never felt so strongly about anybody before, and he is scared to lose his stoic cover. He does not know life outside his mask.
But watching her causes a rise in his heart, and he wonders if even after all that he has done to betray her, she maybe, just maybe, felt the same way about him too.
