Chapter 11: My Year II
The crowd was silent. Some looked at Sasuke to see his reaction while others turned to the people around them. Sakura had her hands over mouth as she gasped. Kakashi was looking rather dumb founded while Naruto and the gang watched on. Sasuke had his face hung low as the he replayed what Tsunade said. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in his pockets. At least you're not going to die right now... That thought calmed him down but not Sakura. She was fuming. Naruto saw this and gave Sasuke a worried look. Sasuke kept up his guard in case anything un expected happened. Sakura was clenching her fists.
"Sakura..."
She looked up to see Sasuke. She peered into his eyes and saw the pain he was going through. Sakura then completely lost it. In one second she was gone and then next, she re appeared in front off Tsunade. Sakura grabbed her sensei by her shirt and lifted her up. A wave of gasping noises went through the crowd when they saw this happen.
Sakura eyes brunt holes into Tsuande as she shouted at her.
"You... How could you...?"
Tsunade looked down and began panicking; her student had grown a lot more powerful.
"He killed the village's biggest threat... And you kill him in one year..."
Tsunade opened her mouth but quickly closed it. She realised what she was about to say could end up in her death.
Sakura chucked Tsunade onto the ground and then shot a deadly glare at one of the elders. The elderly man was shivering from fear. Sakura smirked at the sight. She then turned around and walked to Sasuke. She then burst into a run and jumped into his arms. Sasuke shot Tsuande a deadly glare. Tsunade was frozen in place by the sheer hate in his eyes.
He told Sakura that he was lucky for being allowed one year at all. After a few minutes Sakura finally accepted the fact. The crowd just wept with the couple standing in the middle. Kakashi rushed down the stairs and walked over to his students. Naruto and the gang followed. They tried to cheer Sakura and Sasuke up but failed miserably.
Tsunade also walked down from the elevated seats and gave them her apologies. She knew Sakura would never forgive her but she had to try. Kakashi then told Tsunade to leave. She walked out off the hall, defeated. The elders seemed pleased but on elder was feeling for the young couple. She walked down with her walking stick and stood next to Sakura. She put her arm on Sakura and whispered to her.
"I Voted against it but the over ruled me, I'm sorry"
Sakura slightly smiled and hugged the elderly women.
"At least someone cares"
The elderly woman smiled and walked off. After the group headed off to the ramen shop to eat dinner. Naruto tried to break the silence by beginning a conversation with Hinata. Thank fully the conversation worked. Soon Sakura was joining in laughing but Sasuke still stayed the same. Kakashi then got up and asked to talk to Sasuke alone.
When they walked around the corner Kakashi lead them to a nearby park. He sat down on the bench and Sasuke followed. Sasuke watched the moon hover above the surface of the land. He remembered that he had not completed all his goals he set before he died. He failed in avenging his clan but he could still revive it.
"You still can do it"
Sasuke turned his head to face Kakashi. He was leaning back onto the bench.
"Revive your clan before you go..."
Sasuke smirked.
"I know"
Kakashi smiled.
"I plan to make it a year in her life she will never forget..."
"Good, she deserves it" said Kakashi smiling approvingly.
The silver haired jounin then got up and began to walk away.
"I'll see you tomorrow"
Sasuke nodded then walked back to the ramen stand. They all turned to see him take his original seat and close his eyes.
"Where is Kakashi-sensei?" asked Sakura.
"He left"
Sakura nodded then continued talking to the group. After about half an hour everyone had eaten their fill. Sakura got up and walked off to the toilets. She did not return for a while. Sasuke got up and walked over to the toilets. He found Sakura leaning against the wall thinking. Her body language said how she felt. He pulled her into a hug.
"Sasuke-kun, why...?" she whispered into his shirt.
"Sakura please don't be sad over me, it's my problem"
Sakura looked up with her emerald eyes.
"Sasuke-kun when you're hurt I am to"
Sasuke looked down and gently kissed her. She always knew what to say to cheer him up.
"Thank you Sakura"
Sasuke then walked Sakura to her parent's house. He gave her a small peck on the check at the doorway and left for home. He slipped his hands in his pockets and walked down the concrete walkway.
The alarm rang through the room. The blinds were drawn back and the bright sunlight shone through, lighting up Sakura's sleeping face. She slowly got out off bed and walked over to her mirror. She stared into it and looked over her body. Her gaze shifted down when she recalled the nightmare she had. Her sheets were wet with sweat and her quilt on the floor. Quickly getting dressed she headed down and ate some toast for breakfast. While eating the last slice she noticed a small note under the door.
Dear Sakura,
Your father and I are going for a
long trip to another village. We
only got told yesterday so we
couldn't say a proper good bye.
Love You
Mum
Sasuke had not slept the whole night. His eyes felt so heavy. He was to busy thinking to notice what time it was. He lay in his bed and looked up into the ceiling. An image of his mum and dad looked down on him. He hated it. Everyone looked down on him. Except his friends. He then slowly drifted into some well deserved sleep.
The door bell's melody startled a day dreaming Sakura. She had been to busy thinking to notice someone outside her door. Getting off the comfy sofa she opened the door and looked into onyx eyes. She smiled.
"Hey, thought I'd walk you to training"
Sakura looked up happily and smiled.
"Sure, Sasuke-kun"
She locked up and walked with Sasuke to the bridge. They walked in silence. Sasuke then walked closer to Sakura. He slipped his hand out of his pocket and found her hand. Their fingers then intertwined. Sakura looked up a little puzzled. It wasn't like Sasuke to show affection in public. Sasuke gave her a re assuring smile. They walked holding hands down to the bridge. When they reached the bridge Sakura leaned on Sasuke's shoulder and closed her eyes. Kakashi watched from a near by tree. He jumped down and winked at Sasuke. He just smirked back and turned to face the running Naruto.
He skidded to a stop and looked at the rest of the group. He saw Sakura rather close to Sasuke and noticed they were holding hands. He smiled goofily at the couple. Sai walked onto the bridge and looked at them. Hate burning in his eyes. Of course no one noticed.
"Sai and Naruto head to the forest I'll catch up"
Naruto and Sai jumped onto the roof and headed off.
"Sasuke, you are training Sakura right?"
He nodded.
"Well from know on, you can train her without my help. I'll check up on you every once and a while though"
Sakura smiled.
"Thank You Kakashi Sensei"
He smiled under his mask and headed off.
Sasuke stood there thinking for a second.
"Sakura lets go to the beach"
Sakura grinned and walked alongside him.
"Don't you need your bathers?"
"I got them already in my bag"
Sasuke didn't notice the small bag in hanging of her shoulder. He looked at her, clearly puzzled. Sakura explained she was going to the beach after training.
When they reached the beach it was around the lunch time. They ate some lunch from a take away shop before finding an empty spot and beginning training. Sakura slipped of her clothes to reveal a rose pink bikini set. Sasuke felt his cheeks go red as he watched her pull of her dress. She looked up and caught him blushing. She stuck her tongue out causing him to go even redder.
This is going to get troublesome...
Sasuke let out a deep sigh.
"Sakura were going to improve your speed ok?"
She nodded. She was determined to get stronger and faster than ever.
"Follow me"
Sasuke lead Sakura out to where the water from the waves rolled onto the sand. Their feet began to sink into the sand slowly. Sasuke picked up a stick and drew a line onto the moist sand. He then walked away and drew another line.
"Sakura, you have to sprint as fast as you can over to me"
Sakura set her emerald eyes onto the finish line and got ready.
"Go"
Sakura was off the mark in seconds but the sand slowed her down. Gritting her teeth she tried to sprint through the rest of the track but the sand kept slowing he down. She finally reached the end.
Sasuke looked at her and smiled. Sweat was dripped down her face but she didn't mind. Sasuke wiped it away with his arm band.
"Not bad"
She looked back and saw her footsteps slowly fading. She then repeated the exercise.
After a few sprints, Sasuke walked to the beginning with her.
"This time I'll race you"
Sakura pouted at him but he just smirked back.
"Go"
They both speed down the sand roughly at the same speed until Sasuke suddenly pulled ahead. Sakura finished 4 seconds behind. She sat down on her towel and panted. Sasuke took a seat next to her and handed her a drink of water. She downed its contents and watched Sasuke sip his water. The sun was setting after a hard day of training. They packed up all their stuff and headed back home. When they were walking up the beach, Sakura suddenly sat down.
Sasuke turned his head and saw her sit down. He walked over to her.
"What's wrong?" he said. She looked up into his eyes. She saw caring eyes looking back at her.
"My feet hurt Sasuke-kun"
Sakura said this and looked up. The moon reflecting off her emerald eyes. Sasuke took a mental shot of this. He sighed and picked her up. She gasped but then enjoyed the extra warmth his body gave. She snuggled closer as they both walked home.
Soon Sakura was fast asleep. Kakashi had seen Sasuke walking home and walked over to him. Kakashi looked down and saw Sakura sleeping in Sasuke's arms.
"I think your training is going well" he whispered.
"Yeah, she's picking up fast"
"Naruto is doing fine but Sai is starting to bother me..."
Sasuke gave his sensei a puzzled look.
"He's pushing himself really hard you know..."
Sasuke looked out to the horizon.
"I'll talk to you later; I need to get her home"
Kakashi nodded and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
Sasuke tucked Sakura into her apartment. He made sure all the windows were closed and put a note on the desk. He then locked the apartment door and headed back to the Uchicha Mansion.
