Chapter Five

Sakura put her hand to her mouth. "S..Sasuke?" The raven haired boy nodded. "I am stronger now, and I came back to the girl I care for..." Sakura rememered the painful couple of months when Sasuke had left. She tried to forget him, but it didnt really work. He was here now, but she wasnt very happy about it.

"Do you know how much I suffered? My friends tried to keep my company, and told me to forget about you. I didnt. Now I think that I was wrong. I shouldve forgotten about you. But I didnt. Its like you ripped my heart out and squished it into the ground. Thats how much pain you have caused. I cant forgive you so easily."

Tears flodded down Sakura's cheek. Sasuke looked down. He didnt want Sakura to cry. He thought she would be happy to see him. He looked up into Sakura's eyes.

"Sakura... I never ment to hurt you... What my brother did to me that night... I couldnt let it go. Scince the day my parents died, I promised to avenge them. I thought I was getting stronger. I proved myself wrong... Dont cry Sakura. I came back for you... If you cant see that, if you dont love me anymore like the Sakura I knew... maybe I should just go."

Sasuke turned around starting to leave, but Sakura wiped away her tears and said, "Stop Sasuke... Dont leave. Just wait a second and I will come down"

Sasuke kept his hands in his pockets like he did when he was younger. He just looked around the house. 'It didnt change much' he thought.

Sakura came outside with a jacket over her pjs. Her hair was up to her shoulders, and her eyes were worried. She had grown taller, and she looked more beautiful that when she was younger. Sasuke looked into her eyes.

"Sakura...Im sorry for everything I did. I will never leave again. I want to be with you, and cover up all the things I have missed. When I was training everyday in the forest, I was thinking of you. Missing that sweet smile of yours I see everyday."

Sasuke touched her cheeks with his hand. She looked into his dark eyes. "I always knew you would come back. But no one believed me. They said to give up on you, but I never did. Every night when the stars were bright, I would go out and hope that the next day you would come."

A tear came rolling down her eye, onto Sasuke's hand. Suddenly, Sasuke put his arms around her neck and hugged her.

"Sakura, I never want to do that to you again. I dont want to see you cry because of me. Im stronger now, and my goal is to be with you, and protect you with my life."

Sasuke broke apart from her. He looked at the ground. "I didnt know I hurt you this much... I should just go..." He turned around, but Sakura grabbed his hand.

"Dont leave again Sasuke. I finally have you back. If you go again, I will kill my self. I missed you Sasuke... Come inside for tonight." Sakura said bringing him inside.

Sasuke went inside and sat on the couch. Sakura started to make some tea. Sasuke looked around. It hadnt changed much. The walls were white, with pink petals over the shelves. Sakura's house was like Sakura. Spirited, and lively. And pink like her.

When she finished mkaing tea, she brought it over to Sasuke. He thanked her and she sat down next to him.

Sakura smiled. "Everyone is going to be happy that your back" Sasuke looked at his tea. "Wont they uh... be mad?"

Sakura looked at her tea too. "Ya, maybe... But Im sure Naruto will be happy...I think..."

Sasuke looked at Sakura. He was slightly pink. "So... are you uh... going out with anyone... or somthing?..."

Sakura smiled and blushed. "No... Lee keeps asking me... but I just say Im busy or ahve something to do..."

Sasuke smiled. "For two years?" Sakura smiled and blushed. "He believes anything I say."

Sasuke just blurted out what he was thinking. "Anyone would, with that smiled of yours... I mean.. uh..."

Sakura started to giggle. "Your acting like when we were training at the park. You kept saying somethine nice to me, and you started to blush... Like now..."

Sasuke turned dark pink. He looked back at his tea. His bangs covered his face, but Sakura still saw him smiling.

Sasuke then stopped smiling. 'Is she my girlfriend... Maybe she doesnt want to be... How should I ask!"

Sasuke looked into Sakura's green sparkling eyes. She was still giggling. Sasuke blushed again. "Your making this hard for me with you giggling like that!"

Sakura tried to stop, but she kepy smiling. "Are you gonna ask me something?"

Sasuke was thinking how to say it. 'I wish that little boy Josh or something were here...' Sasuke thought (a/n:from first story)

Sasuke took Sakura's hand. She stopped giggling. "Sakura... Do you remember the day we were at the daycare for a mission?"

Sakura smiled and nodded. Sasuke smirked. "That little boy Josh or something said dont break your heart. I said I wont. Well, I did. By leaving you. Im not planning on leaving you ever again. I want to be right by your side. Can we be together again?"

Sakura smiled remembering that moment.

FLASH BACK

Josh looked at the two ninjas. "Sasuke, dont break the gril's heart like my brother did to his girlfriend." Sakura blushed. Sasuke looked at Josh. "Dont, worry. I wont" Sakura looked at Sasuke. Sasuke looked at Sakura. Josh looked at them both. "Im going now..." Sakura smiled at Sasuke. She shifted closer to him, and put her head on his shoudler. "You never did break my heart. You made the dream come true"

END OF FLASHBACK

Sasuke was blushing, and waiting for an asnwer. "Sakura?..." Sakura blinked at the sound of her name. Sakura looked at the ground. "Sasuke... I dont know if I can trust you right now... I need to see you showing that you want to be with me."

Sasuke lifted her head, so she can see his worried eyes. "Sakura... you mean the world to me... I will do ANYTHING for you"

Sakura smiled. "Even act like Naruto for a day?" Sasuke didnt hesitate. "If thats what you want for us to be together, I will." Sasuke was serious.

Sakura noticed his face. "I was just kidding. If you become Naruto, I will explode. I like you the way you are... becuase you are my Sasuke" She leaned in closer to his face and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Sasuke blushed and smiled. "And you are my cherry blossem Sakura..." He gave her a quick kiss on the lips. They both blushed. Sasuke stood up. he scratched the back of his head. "Well, I better get going"

Sakura did her puppy dog face. "You dont have to go. You can stay the night. On the couch..."

Sasuke smirked at her face. "I can never resist that face. Fine. I will stay."

Sakura smiled. "I can never resist your smile either." Sasuke added.

Sakura blushed. When Sasuke relized he said that out loud, he blushed.

Sasuke woke up around 6:55am. He had forgotten where he was, but when he saw his surroundings he smiled. He walked into Sakura's room. He saw her sleeping. Her hair was over her face, and her face was a bit angry. Sasuke walked up to her and brushed her hair off her face. Once it was gone, she was smiling. But still sleeping.

Sasuke got dressed and left a note saying:

Good morning Sakura. I left back to my house, so dont worry. Do you wanna have lunch together? Ill come to your house around 12:30pm if you want to go.

Love, Sasuke

Sakura woke up at around 7:30am. She saw the note. She smiled. "Love... He wrote Love Sasuke..." Sakura got dressed, and left to tell Hinata aboutt he news.

Hinata was so happy that he was back. "Im so glad that you are happy again Sakura. I have waited so long to see that face again. And to see you blush." Hinata said.

Sakura blushed. "You always blush around Naruto" Hinata smiled. "Thats becuase hes so sweet"

Sakura smiled with a competitive grin. "So Sasuke aint sweet? He wrote Love in his note that he left me" Sakura said blushing. Hinata started to giggle. "Ok. Hes sweet too. Well, Im going to meet Naruto at the park. See you later" Hinata said leaving Sakura to go and tell other friends about Sasuke.

Hinata walked to the park and saw Naruto waiting for her there. "H..Hi Naruto" Hianta said quietly. Naruto heared her gentle voice and came running towards her. "Hinata! Iv missed you so much scince yesterday!" Hinata turned red.

"I just w..wanna tell y..you that S..Sasuke came b..back y..yesterday" Hinata said cooling down.

Naruto's jaw dropped. "Has he seen Sakura yet? Cause if he didnt, Im gonna kick so hard in the butt he wont-" Hinata inturrupted him. "She was the first one to meet. A..and they a..are back t..together"

Narutp smiled his foxy grin. "Good! That basterd Sasuke! He doesnt know anything about love. Leaving Sakura. Ha! But me and you are perfect! I wont ever leave you Hinata!" Naruto smiled and gave her a big hug. She blushed.

Neji and Teten soon found out that Sasuke was back. Teten and Neji were in the forest training. "Im glad Sasuke came back. Sakura was about to loose it." Tenten said throwing shurikens at a tree.

Neji looked at Tenten. "Tenten?.." She stopped. "Yeah?" Neji looked into her brown eyes. "Never leave me, and I will never leave you" Tenten blushed. "I never even thought one second about leaving you. But your like Sasuke. Strong, smart, determined. Will you leave me?" "But your cuter" she added quietly. Neji still heared that last part and blushed.

"I will never leave you Tenten. Thanks for the last bit" Tenten blushed. She smiled and scratched the back of her head. "Ya, ok! No problem!" She started to throw weapens at the tree again.

It was 12:20pm when she got home. She got dressed and waited for Sasuke. DING DONG

Sakura opened the door. She was wearing a white top and a pink mini skirt. She smiled at Sasuke. "Ready?" he asked. Sakura nodded.

They were going to eat sushie for lunch. They walked to a place called Sushie House.

A waitress with dark brown hair greeted them. "Hello ,my name is Sakaya. Welcome to the Sushie House. Please follow me to your table."

They sat down and looked at the menu. Sasuke already chose what he was going to eat. So he kept stealing glances at Sakura. She was looking over the menu 5 times. She looked up at Sasuke. He was staring at her. He blushed and looked down at his menu.

Sakura smiled. "Sasuke, the stuff here all look good. What did you get?"

Scince he was still blushing, he didnt look up. But he replied. "Im gonna get the chicken wrap with soy sauce."

Sakura looked at the menu again. "That sounds good. I will get... the chicken roll with soy sauce."

The waited came and they told their orders. "And what would you like for drinks?" Sakura replied happily. "Which one do you like best? The lemonade or the water with hint of lime?"

Sakaya smiled. "The water with the hint of lime is my favourite. Its also ou special drink for today."

Sakura handed her menu back to Sakaya. "Then I will have that thank you!"

Sasuke gave her his menu and replied. "Just water." The waitress tried to start a conversation like with Sakura. "Any ice?"

Sasuke didnt really care. "What ever. If you want to." The waitress walked away with a confused look."

Sakura looked at Sasuke. "Is something wrong, or did I forget that you were always like this?" Sasuke looked at his hands. "Just thinking..."

Sakura wanted to talk with him. "About what?" Sasuke smiled. "You are still nosy like when you were before. Im jsut thinking of a job."

Sakura smiled. "I am not nosy! If you are looking for a job, then you should go and ask Kakashi or something."

Sasuke forgot about Kakashi. "Right... I will go and ask the guy that reads perverted books..."

Sakura smiled. "He still didnt finish it. Unless he reads it over like 30 times... eeww..."

Sasuke smiled. 'Same Sakura. But shes different somehow. Has she lost weight? I guess its just a girl thing... But what if its from me when I left her. Man, Im so stupid.' he thought.

He frowned. Sakrua looked upset. "Sasuke? Whats wrong." Sasuke blinked. "Nothing... Nosy..." Sakura smiled. "I am not nosy!"
