"Sakura, tell me…" Sasuke was being patient, he wasn't thinking about his revenge as much as he was thinking

about Sakura. "Sasuke-kun..." She cried some more. Suddenly the door creaked open. Sakura quickly took a step

back holding her arm to her stomach and starred at the floor. Sasuke remained where he was the only movement he

made was letting go of the embrace. Kakashi being the amazing analyst knew right away what had been going on.

Actually being as perverted as he was he knew beforehand... "Ahem." He said holding a fist to his mouth (Mask), "I

hope I am not interrupting anything but..." His expression suddenly became serious, "…CONGRATZ!" By the shape

of his eyes you could tell he was hiding a huge smile underneath his mask. "As a reward I will-." Kakashi was cut off

by a hyper monkey jumpy Naruto who was jumping on his head and pulling desperately at his mask. poof! Kakashi

disappeared and Naruto sat dumbfounded on the floor. Then came kakashi's voice, "Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto Come

to Tsunade's we need to discuss something." Not long after, they obeyed their Sensei by heading to Tsunade's.

"Sasuke, I understand its been your life long ambition to kill your brother Itachi, In means of vengeance of course.

But unexpected things have come up, we have not only seen Itachi being defeated by Sakura but we have learned who

the true murder of your clan really was." After Tsunade had finished speaking this, she noticed that Sasuke had not

been satisfied by her speech, not one bit. "Hm…," He smiled, "To you all my life is just a simple story, your willing to

believe anything your told, but push away an eyewitness, a victim of the murder..."Sasuke left saying that he didn't

want to hear another word of it. "Lets wait to tell him." Kakashi said. "That much is obvious." Tsunade said make a

baka face.

It was around spring now Konoha's blossom trees were in blooms, even though Sasuke was upset and didn't want

to have anything to do with anyone in Konoha right now (He's forgetting about Sakura!) He simply couldn't ignore the

beauty of the place. He sat down under one of the blossom trees. The place looked pretty isolated, it was a good

place to sit and think about everything. He was surrounded by what seemed an endless field of grass, with dozens of

blossom trees. This was Konoha…His Konoha. Suddenly came a voice "Sasuke!" For some reason that didn't upset

him, if it was Anyone else he would have been sure to kill them. But it was Sakura, How ironic another cherry blossom

to cheer him up. He didn't forget, not once did he forget about Itachi. She sat beside him; it was quiet for a while.

"Sakura, "Sasuke broke the silence, "Tell me what you know." Sakura knew that was coming, so she was prepared

this time. "Sasuke-Kun…First promise me…" He looked her in the eye, "Promise me that you won't hate me after I

tell you." 'Why would she think I'd hate her?' He saw no harm in promising her this. "Sure, I promise." She sighed in

relief. "Ok. When I woke up I saw a kunai at your neck, Itachi was ready to kill you but he hesitated when he saw the

cursed seal, I was scared to move I was sure we were all going to die! For some reason he didn't sense that I was

awake, Then I realized why…I had no Chakra left in me, Anyways when Itachi saw the cursed seal he took out a

scroll and laid it on front of him, his back was turned towards me. I thought at the time this is the perfect chance for

me, If only I could move. Then after Itachi finished writing on the scroll he rolled it up, picked up the kunai and said, "If

only you knew who the real murder was, but even that wouldn't help you now… He is already dead… I killed him for

you now I will kill you for him." Itachi was so close to killing you, but suddenly the charka from your body came to me,

it recognized me from the time I was in your body. Without second thought I stabbed Itachi, he turned to face me and

said, "Tell Sasuke that he should remember...Uchiha Obito…He'll know who the murder was." Then he coughed

blood and fell to the floor." Sakura was crying again. Sasuke's world was turning from the moment he heard the name

Uchiha Obito, He remembered everything. (I'll tell you that in the next chapter…Now for the important stuff-)

"Sakura," Sasuke forgot about his own pain, put an arm around Sakura and said," you didn't do anything wrong…

And I don't hate you." Sakura smiled and looked up at him. He held out his hand and said "I owe you something."

Kakashi was taking a walk, of course reading a certain pink book, when something caught his attention he took a step

back to notice a very blushing Sakura and a not angry looking Sasuke walking with his hands in his pockets towards

the four hokage statues. Kakashi wasn't that surprised, from the moment Sakura went after Sasuke he knew

everything would be alright; he did give a sigh of relief until he saw a small dog in front of him. "Kakashi, the other dogs

said they'd wrestle me if I didn't get you to feed them." Kakashi made a worried expression and said, "Pakkun

everyone gets what they deserve." Kakashi smiled and poofed away. (The truth was that Kakashi was out of Dog

food and was to lazy to buy some more, they could wait a day he thought.)

"Sakura," He called handing her a rice ball, "You need to stop thinking about that right now." Sakura nodded. "It's

been a long time since I've sat up here, Konoha, it's so beautiful." She said watching the tiny people, houses and trees,

underneath her. Sasuke stopped chewing his rice ball and watched her enjoy the scenery. He looked straight ahead

and said, "Everyone takes part in making Konoha such a wonderful place," He took another bite, "Some people really

stick out doing that." Sakura stopped looked at Sasuke and said, "Even Naruto?" Sasuke pointed behind him, Sakura

sees the four hokage statue covered in paint. Sakura let out a giggle. "He's such a baka!" She smiled and took her first

bite of the rice ball. 'I can't believe this is happening! I'll have to eat less or he'll think I eat like a pig!' she thought. She

smiled, "You know I can hardly believe this, it feels like Naruto is trying to pull a prank on me or something." Sasuke

looked at her and took another bite of his rice ball. After he swallowed he asked "Think Naruto could come up with

something like this?" What does she really think about me Naruto? He wondered. She studied their surroundings,

forgetting about the abandoned rice ball in her hand. The Konoha trees, the setting sun, all those people below them…

"No" she answered finally "It's too…" she searched for a word. "Perfect" There was silence for a while as Sasuke

leaned back on his hands. The wind blew her hair softly and for the first time, Sasuke realized how beautiful she really

was. 'I haven't been fair to her' he thought. "Sasuke-kun?" she asked breaking the silence. "Hn?" he answered

casually. "What are you going to do now?" She avoided looking at him, enjoying the fact that they were having this

conversation and not wanting to mess it up. "I guess I have to recreate my clan. But first, I'm going to get stronger and

learn about Itachi's role in the massacre." By now he was laying flat on his back hands behind his head starring up at

the sky the silence that ensued was blissful rather than uncomfortable. Both of them were thinking their thoughts when

Sasuke called her, "Hey, lay down for a minute," She was confused but did as she was told obediently and instantly

saw why. Looking at the sky from way up there was breathtaking; all you could see was clouds as if land never

existed, as if they were laying on a cloud in midair. "Sakura, " Sasuke said, he really wanted to let her know that he

wasn't taking her for granted, that he appreciated her presence. " You…You've gotten much stronger." He finished

lamely. "Thanks." She replied, "But I'm not done yet." He smiled the perfect reply. It was what he told himself

constantly, "You know I used to wonder what would happen if I didn't turn you down one day, of course I would get

upset at myself, but you can't help but wonder sometimes." Sakura's voice sounded disbelieving. "Yeah it would

always end a disaster though." He replied. She giggled, "It's not a disaster, definitely not." She said. "Hm… this isn't

so bad." He was wondering what was wrong with him. He was feeling something towards Sakura he wouldn't be able

to have imagined a month ago. Suddenly she was more important to him than anything else. When had this happened?

When did she get so close to him? He sat up wondering, following suit Sakura sat up as well, "Sasuke-kun, Is

something wrong?" She asked, worried. He looked at her, her face looking at him with honest concern. Oh my...Damn

it! Was he blushing, "Damn sunburn." He muttered, it took him a while to notice he said that aloud, and he prayed to

God she hadn't heard him. She hadn't Sakura just noticed that he was upset and his expression was that of one in

irritation. She looked back down and sighed. "I figured it would happen sooner or later …" She whispered, but he

heard her. "Damn it! No its not you! I mean it IS you but not in the way you think." He was frustrated but when she

looked at him he was lost in gazing at her, and his features relaxed. No more words were needed, softly he placed his

hand on hers, and leaned towards her, and she didn't pull away but was scared to shorten the distance between them.

'Is he going to?" Her mind thought frantically, their noses were only inches apart, their lips were almost touching…poof

"Yo, Tsunade wants to see you two now." It was Kakashi. "Disaster…" Sasuke grumbled.
