Chapter II
"Sakura-chan, are you all right?" asked a blue-eyed boy.
"Huh?" said Sakura, she was not paying attention to Naruto she was so busy looking at the clouds.
"I said, are you all right?" asked Naruto again. He now stood up from lying on the grass. He was now staring at Sakura.
"Ya," replied Sakura.
"You sure?" it was not Naruto but Sasuke. He was too staring at the clouds. It was too weird for Sasuke asking this.
Sakura was surprised with him. What came to Sasuke asking her if she's all right but of course she replied. "Yes,"
"You know Sakura-chan, I have been talking to you all this time and you were'nt listening. It's really weird," commented Naruto.
"Sorry," said Sakura. She didn't know why she apologize to Naruto. Now, her mind are full of questions why the hell Sasuke asked her that.
"Hey, do you all remember the girl from the ramen store? I met her yesterday and I ask her some things," said Naruto blankly. He was now too staring at the clouds.
"What did you ask her?" asked Sakura while twirling her hair.
"I asked her if she will be going there again and she said yes," said Naruto then in deep thought. "I also asked what her rank is…"
"Then what is it?"
"Uhmmm……ahhhh…………a Chuunin…… like the three of us."
"You sure?" asked Sakura reassuringly. "She wasn't even in the Chuunin exam,"
"She said that she participated when she was nine,"
"When are you going to meet her Naruto?" asked Sasuke now standing up.
"What? I didn't asked her maybe she's eating ramen," answered Naruto hopefully.
"I'd be better be going home," said Sakura suddenly.
"What? You're leaving soon?" said Naruto sadly he was jumping like a kangaroo.
"My mother's going home today," said Sakura as she turned her back.
"I will walk you home," said Sasuke blankly.
"What?" she turned around. She was so surprised why Sasuke was acting like this.
"I said, I will walk you home."
"Why?"
".."
"What?"
"Itachi might be still around…."
"Oh," she was slightly disappointed with his answer. She just do not know why.
"May I walk you home?"
"S-sure," Sakura couldn't resist.
"What's happening to you Sasuke, eaten something good? Well, I should not doubt on that because you ate the best ramen!" said Naruto triumphantly.
"Whatever, let's go now," said Sasuke then he took Sakura's hand and they left.
Sakura was still in shock. She cannot believe that Sasuke is holding her hand. Now they were seventeen, she thought that that they can be together now. After all those years of not being notice by Sasuke…She just cannot believe it. They were holding hands along the way.
"Here we are," said Sasuke as they stopped on Sakura's house.
"Thank you, sasuke-kun," said Sakura blushingly.
Sasuke just returned a smile then he was gone.
"Mom, how's your mission?" asked Sakura. They both sat on the couch.
"All right, Sakura, but I am going to leave soon. Tomorrow morning I will be leaving to find your father. You know for how many months he's been missing. I am really worried," said her mother.
"That's all right, mom. I too miss dad,"
"Thank you Sakura, for understanding."
"Sakura take care of yourself,"
"Yeah,"
Then the phone rang.
"I am going to get that," said Sakura as she stood up.
"Hello?"
"Sakura! Ino, here," said Ino happily.
"What do you want?"
"I want you to go to my place, tomorrow morning. I have something to tell you,"
"Why can't you just tell it on the phone?"
Then she hung up. Sakura put down on the receiver.
"What's she up to now?" she said irritated.
"Did she came?" asked Tsunade. She was looking at a letter.
"Yes, Hokage-san. I saw her in the village yesterday," said the Jounin. His face was covered with bandages.
"Good," said Tsunade. "Tomorrow tell her, I need her."
"Sure," then he was gone.
"Toma…."
"One, two, three," Sasuke said repeatedly. He was doing some push-ups in the training. It has been along time since he trained here. He was so busy with their missions that he forgets to train here.
"Three minutes left to do some push-ups," Sasuke said to himself then he used his Sharingan to make his moves faster. While training, he noticed someone was coming. It was moving fast, very fast. He stood up then stared very hard. He was trying to find where it had gone.
Then it moved again. Sasuke was now getting alarmed. He felt that someone is in the area too. It was too fast to be seen by his Sharingan.
"Sasuke-kun!" said a girl behind him.
He turned to his back and was surprised. It was Toma Sakura. She was smiling. She was very pretty. Sasuke found it very peculiar.
"Why are you here?" asked Sasuke coldly. He was now holding a kunai from his back.
"I am sorry to disturb you. I was just looking around when I saw you training," she said.
"How can you move so fast?" asked Sasuke directly. He was not using his Sharingan now. He put back his kunai in his pocket.
"I just…" she said. She was staring at Sasuke's eyes. It was like absorbing her. "I cannot tell you, sorry,"
"I see," he said.
"Ah, I remember now, Sasuke-kun do you want to train with me?" asked Toma happily.
"What?" he asked reassuringly. This was his style of accepting an invitation of whatsoever.
"I said, if you want to train with me?" she said hopefully. She was still staring at Sasuke.
"Sure, I'll train,"
"Tomorrow night then! Here!"
"Why night-?" then she was gone.
