Teme Chronicles: Homecoming
Walking through the village gates was nostalgic for him. The air in the village felt the same. The aroma of restaurants down the street. The bustle of leaves on the trees. The children running around. The ninja sharpening their tools whilst going out for missions. Stray animals making their way as if they were regular citizens. It was so very nostalgic.
Sasuke was shocked to see all his friends awaiting his arrival. He twitched, a little annoyed that he allowed their little scheme to bring him home to work. He saw Naruto and Hinata holding hands, waving at him. Kakashi was there, his Hokage gear on and that mask that was the bane of Sasuke's existence as a genin there too.
Shikamaru, Ino, Choji, Rock Lee, TenTen, Shino, Kiba, Sai, all of them were there. Even some woman he didn't recognize, but she was holding Choji's hand so he figured they were familiar with each other in that sense. His eyes scanned the crowd for a specific person. He held in his smile as said person walked up to him. She had a smile on as well as tears in her eyes.
"Sasuke-kun."
"Sakura."
They breathed out each other's names with so much emotion. Sakura's smile grew.
"Welcome home."
