Chapter Two
It had already been two hours since their departure, and they finally stopped walking. Sasuke looked over to the direction of the rising sun. Konoha was no longer in sight. Sakura was leaning against a tree while gazing at the sunrise. She looked at Sasuke with a smile. To his surprise, he smirked back.
He wondered what had to possessed him to take her, but he was glad he did. They always say that you should never travel alone. Sakura was a valued companion to him on his quest. Even if she wasn't the strongest person, it was nice to have someone with you. He felt like he could actually trust Sakura, no one else.
Meanwhile, Sakura gazed up at the various cloud formations from the sunrise. She realized that as of this moment, she was a Missing-nin. She turned her head to Sasuke, wondering what he was thinking. She just had to keep silent so she wouldn't say anything to upset him. She just wanted to be here... with him. She wondered if why she gave up her life in Konoha...she had it all. But, when he looked at her in the eyes without of look of hatred... she remembered. But she was still too nervous to say anything. She ran her fingers through her hair and felt the forehead protector she used as a headband. She came to the realization that she wasn't a leaf ninja anymore... and she'd probably be fighting against them. As if he was reading her mind, Sasuke looked over to her.
" You don't have to take it off if you don't won't to...but..." Sakura cut him off.
" No, I think I owe it to you and the village. Plus, when we travel people might attack us, seeing that we're from the Leaf. " She felt to where the metal part of of the headband was, the part that bore the symbol of Konoha. Quickly, without hesitation, she picked it off. Now, it was just an ordinary headband. She slipped the metal piece in her bag without any comments. She looked to Sasuke, who nodded at her. He spotted a small creek nearby.
" I'm gonna go for a swim, alright? "
" Okay. " She responded, smiling. " I'll make some breakfast. It'll give you strength. " Sasuke walked off to the creek and Sakura turned to the woods.
' Alright! ' Sakura thought! She quickly went to gathering logs. Sasuke came back to where she was, feeling quite refreshed. Sakura was positioning the logs together in preparation for a fire. Sasuke had his shirt in one hand, slinging over his back, and two fish in the other. He put them all down and lit a fire with one of his fireballs. They each took a fish to roast on the fire.
A/N: Common scene in anime, eh?
Sakura gazed at Sasuke. Drops of water dripped from his bangs. She realized that if this had been a few months ago she would have fainted from seeing him with no shirt. Her feelings had indeed matured. Since she would be with Sasuke from now on, she couldn't be doing things like that. Although, she hadn't really been doing things like that for quite a while. She had already confessed her love for him, what else was there to do? She just couldn't say anything to him, fearing he'd leave her, but she had so many questions on her mind. Suddenly, Sasuke gripped his shoulder. Sakura saw a look of pain in his eyes.
" Are you alright? " She asked in a hurry.
" Fine, just a cut. " He said simply. Sakura sighed in relief and leaned back against a tree.
" You had me worried for a second, " She said. " Now, let me see it. "
" What? "
" Let me see it! "
" No. "
" Yes. "
" No! " Sasuke protested, insisting that it was fine.
" Let me heal it! " Sakura tried to get a look at the cut, but he pushed her back,
" You can't heal it! " Sakura sat back and pouted.
" I can too heal it! Don't think I waste all my time on you! I train as well! " She went over to him and asked him to take his shirt off. He gave her a strange look, but preceded to take it off. " Wow, this is a nasty cut! How'd you get it? "
" Training. " Sasuke lied. He didn't feel like telling her that he had been attacked by Sound ninjas earlier.
" I see. " She did a small seal and concentrated. Sasuke had no clue was she was doing. Suddenly, he saw a small blue light come from her hand. She gently pushed against the cut and it miraculously (spell check there) healed it. Sasuke was even surprised. She sat back down and smiled at him. " You're welcome! " He gave her a nod. Shortly after they had gotten some rest, the continued their journey.
They crossed through part of the forest, heading northwest. They came across a small village. Sasuke explained to Sakura that he wanted to get a few more kunai for himself and her. She agreed. He explained to her that this village did not consider themselves people of the Fire Country. They only considered themselves members of the local area. Sakura was surprised when they reached the village. The local market was booming with people. Sasuke approached a man selling the equipment he needed and preceeded to browse around. Sakura stood by his side and waited while he selected the ones he wanted. Sakura gazed around at all the goods being sold. Sasuke had finally selected his and paid the man for it. As Sasuke, was paying Sakura started walking out. When she turned around she accidently bumped into someone.
" Oh sorry! " She said. She looked up to see a gigantic and very rough looking man, with a bunch of other rough looking men.
" Hey no problem babe. " He said and looked her over. He smiled. " I've never seen you around these parts before. I never forget a pretty face. Why don't you come with me? I could show you a good time. "
" No thanks. " Sakura said. The man tugged her arm. Sasuke caught this and glared at the man.
" Aww come on! "
" Let go of me! " She said, yanking her arm back. Suddenly, Sasuke came over and slapped the man's hand off her arm. Sasuke stood protectively in front of Sakura.
" Who the hell are you? "
" Shut up. " Sasuke easily punched the man in the stomach. The man fainted at his friend's feet. His friend was enraged.
" Why you..." The man pulled out a knife and charged at Sasuke. He easily dodged all the man's attempts to stab him and laughed. He was about to kick him in the face, but the man suddenly collapsed. Sakura was standing there in a position that told Sasuke what had just happened. She had kicked him where it counts. Sakura turned and smiled at Sasuke.
" Hehe, they'll be out for a while. " She laughed. Sasuke even smirked as well, he was glad she could take care of herself, but he would still protect her. " Thanks though Sasuke. " She said. He nodded back at her.
" Let's get going then. "
" Alright! "
" Oh yeah, I forgot. " Sasuke said pulling something out of his bag. " You needed some more equipment, so here. " He handed her a kunai, not just a regular kunai though. Engraved into it was design of cherry blossoms. Sakura cheerfully smiled at him.
" Thank you! " He gave her yet another nod of the head as they continued their quest.
