"Sa-ku-ra"
As he says her name in each syllables, it appears that it's the cue to shot her head up.
She just woke up from her slumber, cold sweats where gathering over her forehead.
A dream?
She touches her lips feeling the sensation like the kiss happened.
But it feels so surreal.
In a matter of second she got a grip of what was happening to her.
She look outside her window to see the sun set.
How many hours did she ditch her work to sleep?
No Sakura, don't waste on time thinking about that delusional dream. You need to focus.
She scolded herself.
But, is he really back?
Yes he is back.
She was there when she scold Naruto in crowd of people.
Just as she was wondering if all of she remember within that day was a dream or not a knock interrupt from her door.
"Who is it?"
The Hokage demand.
'It is I, Hokage-sama"
"Ahh, Sai come in."
"Did you have a good nap?"
He smiles fakely.
"Stop with the intro. What is it? I'm not expecting you to report 'til the next couple of days."
She place her left palm on her jaw leaning her elbow on her armchair.
'Pardon me. As you know the Traitor is back."
Ahh he doesn't change at all after being with Ino, Sai still address people with silly nicknames.
like for example he calls her Ugly, for Naruto he calls him Dickless which is hilarious and for her one certain ex-teammate
he calls him Trait-,
Wait-
So. . .he is back. What happened earlier was not a dream at all.
except for the part that when she and Sasuke were alone in her office and that kiss.
She was in denial that it happened.
It's a dream. a Horidious dream to be exact.
Before Sai could talk why she is not responding, she removes her hand on her face and curtly nod.
"Ahh. What about him?"
"Nothing. I just want to inform you that Naruto made a decision while you're asleep and Ino
thinks that you have the right to know this."
Sai is not yet saying what he's about to tell but for Sakura when there's a news where Naruto is involve, It doesn't please her
at all because it's either that news will make her shock or worse feel like she wanted wring Naruto on his neck 'til his last breath.
That Idiot.
" I'm cutting it short, Naruto let Sasuke stay's in your house."
Sai really took her by surprise.
It takes five second to make that sink in on Sakura's not quietly functioning brain at that moment..
.
.
.
.
.
"-HE WHAT!?"
"Oh look at the time, I forgot I have a date to Miss beautiful. Ja- Hokage-sama "
Running for his life even if it doesn't show base from his composed look.
Sai feels like his life was about to end so he dismissed his self from the shock Hokage.
After grasping the bomb-like new to her, Sakura swears that the moment she was done with here paper works
from her office she will literally grip Naruto's neck 'til death.
What he was thinking?
Yes she permits Naruto to have a duplicate key from her home even her old-sensei Kakashi has it too because
they were like a family to her. So she trust them in all aspects. Even giving them the key to her private home.
But he, Sasuke is also her ex-teammate which is prolly a family for her too even if she doesn't admit it.
So why would she be angry?
Is it because of her past feelings?
Is it because she hasn't yet moved on?
So many Is it questions running through her mind.
She cleared her mind once again.
As a Hokage it is her duty to do all the paper works in front of her.
She massage her temple once and began to act proffessionally.
Scanning carefully before signing each pleads.
It was a miracle for Sakura to finish half of her works at the end of the day.
Perhaps she was determined to really beats Naruto's body.
She cursed again every time she would remember what Sai had said.
An hour before midnight come, she is in front of her own house.
There was light that means there is somebody inside her home.
She was in a trail of thought that it's been a few days since she saws her home.
Right it was a week to be exact she hasn't stayed at home even just for a rest.
being Hokage consumes lots and lots of her time. It's like the Hokage Tower is unofficial home because
she stays a lot on her office than her home.
her train of thoughts were cut of when she hears the click of her front door open.
She expected to see the scared Naruto begging to have mercy for his life but instead she was greeted by
an obsidian eye and raven black-haired man, half body hiding behind her door.
Ahh sh*t. she swear that she will make Naruto beg for his life.
"Ahh. You're home."
That's the first thing he said as they held each others gaze for a minute.
She let out a dry-like cough.
"So do you."
He nods at her.
She prepares herself before,. .while on her way to her house.
She mentally prepare what she would say and act.
Still she can't seem to compose herself because she was finding it hard to learn the truth that he was truly back.
He opens wide the door for her and she walks in, passing through him.
Passing through the kotatsu on her living room, she saw some take-out food that probably came from Ichiraku because of
the obvious logo on the packaging.
Once he had lock the door he looks at Sakura who's staring at the untouch food
"You just missed that dobe. "
"What do I expect. It is him after all."
She sighs deeply.
She place her un-wear Hokage hat above on her sofa and unclasp her coat.
She was back to her old looking outfit again.
"Sakura, I-"
He called her when he feel's like she was about to go upstairs.
" We'll talk once I got change my clothes please."
She manages to say not looking at Sasuke.
When she close the door on her room, she leaned her back against her door and clasp her chest.
She thanked Kami for being professional and not stuttering when it comes talking to him.
Her heart was beating rapidly.
She hopes that after she change her clothes and finally talk to him,
I won't let my feelings take over.
Never again.
