DISCLAIMER: The characters in here are OOC. What do you expect? I don't own
Naruto. Kishimoto Masashi does.
A/N: Wow. I didn't know I'd be updating so fast. Actually, like I said this was a long chapter but I divided it. Some people were devasted to see me end chapters at the most important moments. Sorry. ^^; So, here's chapter 4.
Seven years - Change
Chapter 4 - Friendship and love
Sakura reached her house feeling remorseful. How can he do this?
'I guess this is what it takes to have vengeance, be merciless. Why did he arrive now? Why couldn't he come back after he finished killing Itachi? Why is he making this worse? Why is he so evil? Why is he an Uchiha? Why am I so weak!! If only I was stronger...'
"..yesterday she told me that she is going out with someone. She said I could only tell you."
"Really? Who? Who is the lu-"
Sakura took her keys and opened the door.
"What took you so long you forhe-"
"Sakura-chan?"
Sakura's face was gloomy. There was no strength in her. She looked as if she would faint, which was imminent. She closed her eyes. She was home. She was with her friends. She could now..
"Sakura-chan!!"
Both screamed as they held Sakura.
Sasuke entered his house. He couldn't buy anything at all after that awkward incident. He was just giving her friendly advice. Was she misunderstanding him? Was she thinking that he was just a dirty roricon? Roricon or not, Sakura still seemed weak to Sasuke's eyes.
-----------------------------------------------------------(Flash-back)----- -------------------------------------------------
"....she is strong, REALLY strong."
-------------------------------------------------------(end of flash-back)-- -----------------------------------------------
'I wonder what you were talking about you monkey. I can't see anything powerful about her.'
As Sasuke opened his door, he was flabbergasted.
"What the hell are you doing in my-"
"Konnichiwa Sasuke!"
"Hey you dirty bastard!"
It was Kakashi and Naruto. Like Sasuke, both were not wearing any shinobi clothing. They were simply wearing casual stuff as they brought sake with them. Obviously, Kakashi brought his all time favorite book. That was not the case. The problem was that they were trespassing his house. On the other hand, Sasuke was relieved to see something he could eat at his house. Kakashi and Naruto had rice balls.
"Hey."
He mumbled monotonously as he sat down at his couch.
-------------------------------------------------------------(Flash-back)--- -------------------------------------------------
"Let go of me Sasuke-kun! It's enough that I have to bump into you like this! Let go!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
He gave a deep sigh as he thought about what Sakura said to him. What did she mean when she said it was enough that she bumped into him? I guess Sakura isn't Sakura to Sasuke anymore...
'She's changed.'
"Oy! Sasuke! You OK?"
As Sasuke opened his weary eyes he saw a huge pair of baby-blue eyes staring right in front of him. They were so close that they could end up kissing like last time when they first met. Some guy pushed Naruto and they ended up kissing. As Sasuke thought about his old days, Sasuke backed up, terrified. He was also blushing like a girl. His first kiss was a MAN.
"DON'T GET SO CLOSE TO ME LIKE THAT YOU BAKA!"
"Look who's talking? The bastard who kissed me last night!"
"Ugh - whatever you monkey."
"He he, I guess you guys love each other."
Kakashi teased as he grasped his Icha-Icha book on his right hand. Kakashi was always keen. He was winning to Naruto and Sasuke right now. His sick sense of humor was always out of the blue, like now. Naruto screamed,
"We're not a couple sensei!! I love Sakura!"
'What?'
Naruto's last words rang inside Sasuke's head for several times. He loved her. Why did Naruto's childish crush develop into love? This was unfair. Sasuke concluded that every guy except he loved Sakura. Why couldn't Naruto be Sakura's friend? He is but why does he have to love HER?
"Really? You two kiss too much to be considered friends you know!"
Kakashi was now playing with Naruto like he was a puppet. Sasuke just ignored his sadistic sensei.
"WE'RE NOT FRIENDS! HE IS MY-!"
"Ha! There you go! Couples!"
"UGH! Kakashi senseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiii!"
Kakashi smiled broadly while Naruto was ballistic. Sasuke on the other hand was surprised. Weren't they friends beside the rivalry and the countless fights? Ever since they met they did hate each other but they developed into friendship. So that was all a lie? Naruto didn't care about him? He was fooled over the fact that Naruto was his best friend?
Sasuke's face was now dark with humiliation. He went outside to avoid the two. His pain was getting worse.
"Sup with him?"
Kakashi simply stared at the door.
'What do you know? Sasuke cares for someone.'
Kakashi shrugged. Although he knew about everything, he sighed and continued to read his book while Naruto was watching TV.
"Sasuke is weird."
"Why?"
"One minute he is this careless guy that hates people and the next minute, he goes risking his life to defend someone! He's an odd git."
Naruto ran to the microwave to eat his ramen.
Kakashi eyed Naruto curiously
'Hokage sama said that its' time. But why is Naruto emitting normal chakra instead?'
Kakashi pondered as he kept reading his dirty book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
"Sakura wake up!"
"Sakura-san!"
"Sakura-chan!"
Sakura lay there unconscious. Ino and Hinata were worried. However there was another person next to the two females.
"Sakura-san!"
Sakura simply lay there on her bed. She was dreaming. She was having a nightmare. She was dreaming about her worst moment in life......
----------------------------------------------------(her dream)------------- -------------------------------------------------
"I'll come back..."
He began to walk away. The girl ran and hugged him at the back. She whispered,
"When?"
The boy made sad expression and forced a weak smile. He held her arms and kissed her in the forehead. Then he gently whispered at her ear,
"Seven years."
"Come back! DON'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS! I'LL HATE YOU! I'LL AVENGE YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!"
-------------------------------------------------(Dream fades away)--------- --------------------------------------------
"..Come back, come back, come back, com-"
"Sakura-san?"
The person gently caressed her face to calm her down. Sakura woke up. There were tears in her face. She always dreamed about this incident. It was a nightmare that never ceased. She was blinking, wondering who was calming her down. Everything was blurry. She couldn't see well because of her tears. However, the figure was definitely not Ino or Hinata. It was a man. The blur started to fade away. She began recognizing who he was. He was tall. His hair was dark and-
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Lee-san?"
"Sakura-san are you okay?
"I'm fine, thank you Lee-san."
Sakura gazed at him. She was ever so thankful. There was at least someone who wasn't cruel or merciless. This person was caring, sweet, and thoughtful. She was in her bedroom. Because of the cleaning, her room was clearly unfamiliar. Pucca was next to her, licking her hand. Slightly tickled, she smiled at both figures. She had ointment on her lip and she was in her pajamas. There was only Lee in her room. Knowing this she blushed frantically.
'Lee-san did this for me? He changed my-'
"Don't worry Sakura-san. Ino and Hinata did the rest. I didn't change your clothes but I did put you in this room."
Lee smiled as he showed his bright teeth. Lee always cared for her since the day they were taking the chuunin test. He did all he could to protect her. He was her knight in shining armor. Lee was kneeling down on the floor while Sakura was lying there. She felt calm and secure unlike Sasuke.

"Thank you Lee-san."
Sakura touched his bandaged hand as she gave him a rare smile. Her face was bright and innocent like an angel. Her hair was long, which was silky and touched her pale skin. Lee blushed. The cutest woman in the world was holding HIS arm. Lee was so ecstatic that he would faint anytime. He gave a sigh. Sakura beamed,
Because Sakura loved him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Sasuke returned back to his home. Did he return to Konoha village for nothing? Did he change? Did everyone else change? Did he belong here? These issues were too confusing for Sasuke. His life used to be simple. Train hard, kill his brother and marry some woman to start a family. Now, his life was concerned with other things too. When he returned Naruto and Kakashi greeted them friendly.
"Sasuke wanna play cards?"
"Uhh..."
"C'mon, FRIEND! I'm low on cash! I need to play poker!"
"..Ok"
Naruto's words rang inside his head. He was relieved. he was happy. At least someone cared for him.
'Thank you Naruto. For being my friend..'
The three was betting and playing poker and the night went on...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
KNOCK KNOCK
Someone was banging the door furiously and urgently.
Sasuke and Naruto were alarmed, Suspecting that it might be an oishinobi or a criminal.
Naruto gripped his kunais as he approached the door.
BAM
"Ino? Hinata?"
There was two kunais right in front of Ino's face.
"Naruto-kun!"
Hinata blushed and yet her face was worried.
"Sasuke, Naruto! Kakashi! Come quick!"
"What is it this time?"
"Sakura collapsed! She's fainted!"
----------------------------------------------------(2B continued)---------- ------------------------------------------------
A/N: The chapters seem to get longer and longer. I wonder why. Oh well. I hope you enjoyed that chapter. The story seems like sasunaru but- * sighs * For all those people hoping to see Sakura kick butt, there will be a lot of kickass movements from Sakura on my next fic. Review please! Once again, thank you for reading this. I'll see you next chapter. Bye.
