Chapter 3: He's Back!

'I've hurt her once again.. How can she ever forgive me again? I wonder if she's still waiting for me.. *sigh* maybe not..'

As he continues to walk facing down, kicking off some stones, he stared at the stones as it rolled down and then it stopped….

Cold winds again blew and this time it's different…

"What are you doing?" a familiar voice suddenly asked him.

Slowly he raised his head up and then he saw the most beautiful girl in the world.

"Sakura?" he asked nervously.

"Welcome home Sasuke-kun!" She said as she approached him.

Sasuke couldn't say anything. He couldn't say what he wanted to say. All the words were stucked up in his mouth. His heartbeat is fast and he's feeling very nervous.

One year is a long time. A lot of things have changed. Since Sasuke left Konoha, Sakura changed for the better. She is no longer the 'weak Sakura'. She focused on her training more so she could get him off her mind. Now, she's more than a shinobi. She's strong enough now to face anyone. Her body now is build up and her muscles were now firm compared before.

"Eh, Sasuke-kun anything wrong? As if you've seen a ghost?" Sakura smiled at him.

'That smile..i missed that. She's beautiful now than ever. Even so, she changed a lot.. I can sense her chakra now unlike before. She is no longer the old Sakura who easily be insulted by someone then she would easily give up..I like her better now..'

Sakura slowly approached him then nudged him.

"Sasuke-kun! What's happening to you huh? What's wrong? Is there a dirt on my face? Are you sick?"

'She's so beautiful! How can I never notice her before? Wait! What is happening tome? It's not like me! But that's the truth.. Sakura..I..'

He thought again as he stared on Sakura's face.

'What is happening to him? He's been acting so weird!.. But he's handsome now more tha ever... I missed him so much but... I know I'm nothing to him like before. I've accepted that fact since he left Konoha... I'm contented now even if we're just friends… I will just be here to look after him…  Just to be there and support himis enough for me…'

"Sasuke-kun!!" Sakura shouted at him.

"What?!" Sasuke glared to her.

"What's happening to you? You're not even talking!" Sakura exclaimed to him.

"Hn… I was just-" his voice trailed off… Suddenly he moved closer to Sakura then hugged her very tight.

Ok! That's all folks! How was it?

Hope you liked it!

Gosh! I wish I was Sakura so Sasuke would hug me too! Haha! ^_^
