"just like Neji?? a strong one??? former team seven???? he's...here.. no doubt it is him" she suddenly becomes nervous.
"it can't be!!! Sa..su...ke... it cant be that he's here.. I don't want to see him.. not yet.. it still hurts.. a.. lot" her eyes started to become moist...
suddenly.....
a hand touched her shoulder..
"ahhh" sakura was shock then she look that it was only Neji
" Sakura.. let's go" she encourage her
"but... its him right?? I'm certain its him I feel his aura" she stopped not wanting to enter
"don't worry" and he offer his hand to her
Sakura smiled and took his hand.
"Ohh!! Sakura.. and Neji good you're already here" Tsunade-sama greets them
"I have someone to introduce to you... he already realizes his mistake and want to come back.. well I already test him and fortunately he passes... he is really sincere... so here he is" she introduced to everyone, while the others have question marks in their heads Sakura is becoming uneasy and nervous. She is not yet ready to face him, she bows her head so that no one can see her face, then she grasp Neji's hand that made him look to her.
" what's the matter??" he ask her curiously
"I'm... not yet ready..." she utter
Sakura let go of his hand. Neji put his hand on her shoulder and whisper " don't worry"
Then the mysterious guest enters the room. He is no other than Uchiha Sasuke. Everyone was shocked; they never imagine even in their dreams that he will be back again, maybe after months of his disappearance but its almost seven whole years.
" Sasuke-bastard what made you to come back here??" Naruto welcome him not in a tone of annoyance or other negative tones. Still the past of them being comrades remains to him.
"You never change dobe" Sasuke said giving his smirk
" Sasuke-kun...... I'm glad youre here now!!" Ino greeted him
"don't worry I wont be running for you again" she added
sigh Shikamaru sighs he thought Sasuke's appearance will take away his Ino again
The others make their greetings and welcoming Sasuke.
"Sasuke I think that we should have reunion of team seven, what do you think of it?" Kakashi give an idea.
" ok!!!! the get together of team seven is coming!!! and we'll eat in ichiraku...." "ramen....ramen....ramen..." naruto is already drooling while thinking of his ramen, good thing Hinata is on the rescue.
"ok. I thought coming back here again is bad idea but as it look nothings bad" Sasuke said
"nothings bad in the idea of coming back here Sasuke, anyways is it ok with you Sakura?" kakashi suddenly move his attention to his female student
"Aa." she answered slowly, she never dared to look to him, because she knows she will look like weak again. She look to Neji and walks towards him, it caughts the Uchiha's attention.
"Neji, maybe I'll be late-" she was cut by him
"its ok. I understand. I'm going now." Neji slowly walked away
"sakura.." he said
" huh??"
"be strong.. enjoy yourself maybe don't bother to come tonight its ok" then he opens the door
"Neji-kun. bye take care" she smiled
As what he sees he become curious of what relationship between them, but he did not urge to ask.
"so, are we going now" she said as if she forget all about the past. She smile like she's a little girl before.
In ichiraku...
"I'm really happy that you're back Sasuke-bastard. Now the team seven is already complete once again" the loud Naruto said
"Did you already realize what the snake Orochimaru wants with you?? He only wants.-" Kakashi was cut
"my body.. to be his puppet... I already know that that why im here" Sasuke said
"I'm sorry" he bowed his head
"so! you've finally Sasuke-bastard... heh!" naruto teased him
" Sakura-chan you're so quiet!!!!! anyways what can you say??? I'm sure you're glad about that!!" Naruto exclaimed
"huh? about what??" sakura asked naruto. Obviously that she's not paying attention
"I'm sorry. I'm not paying attention." she apologized
"it ok sakura-chan" she smiled to Naruto
"its about Sasuke's arrival. What can you say?"
"um Kakashi-sensei... do I really need to answer that!!! Of course I'm glad that youre back Sasuke" She looked towards him and plastered a smile on her face.
"Im happy to hear that from you Sakura, I'm quite relieved." he said to her.
" relieved??" she have question mark on her head. She already expect silence as his answer. She finished her food and look to her watch.
"ahhh... if you don't mind I'm going now. Ehhh.. I have load of stuffs to do.. I'm sorry.." she walked away to the store
"I think she will go to him again" Naruto compliment
"do you really think so Naruto?? Well I'm out now, this is such a reunion. welcome back Sasuke" Kakashi disappeared in poof
"Naruto." Sasuke call him
"huh?"
"who is 'him' ?" he asked him
"ahhh 'him' he is Hyuuga Neji" he answered.
"..."
Naruto pause for a while
"when you left the Konoha, you left everybody here. We are all hurt because you give up everyone that loves you just for power. Among all you're disappearance affects her the most. You've break every part of her. We help her to recover, but Neji plays most of the role. Since then they become so close to each other." Naruto tells him the story.
"..."
" you've never changed. I have to go now, I have to meet Hinata. Ja ne" he bit his goodbye to him
Sasuke walked to the forest, he'll train as usual. But he cant get out of his head what Naruto said.
"You've break every part of her. We help her to recover, but Neji plays most of the role." it keep playing on his mind
He stop for a while
"did I really hurt her that much?" he asked himself. His feet lead him to a hill, he heard a little angelic voice singing a lonely tone. He hides his charka, and hides under bushes. Only to see her. . .
This wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream id fight away all of fears
And I've held you're hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I'd tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
but though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
The voice suddenly turned into wimps.
"I said I wont cry for him anymore, he don't deserve the tears besides it only make me feel weak as what he usually said to me." the voice said in sad tone. She wiped her watery eyes.
"Sakura" he murmured under his breath and accidentally he made a noise.
"shit" he cursed himself
"Who's there??" she readied herself if the attack comes. He stand up with bowed head and the shadows covers him so his features cannot be seen. She throw a kunai on Sasuke's directions, it leaves a small scratch on his left cheek.
He step out in the darkness and that made Sakura shocked.
