A/N: Thank you to everyone who reviewed and read my fanfic and here is the next and maybe last chapter. I may end it here since I hadn't planed on this fanfic in being long. I just needed Sasuke to turn good but still unsure.

Chapter 3: He's Back
Sakura was nervous at what Sasuke was going to do still. However, before she could think of a plan to get out of that situation Sasuke let go and stepped back.
"I'm wasting my time here." Then turned with his hands in his pocket and started to walk away.
"Sasuke! Why did you come back to Konoha?" Sakura asked turning to see him leave. Sasuke kept walking. She moved over to the bench and sat down before letting out a deep breath.
'He didn't kill me. I have to report this to the Tsunade-sama.' Sakura said and got up to run toward the Hokage's office. Sakura entered to see Tsunade reading other reports.
"Tsunade-sama I ran into Sasuke near the benches toward the Konoha Gates. He seemed as though he was going to kill me but retreated from that and disappeared." Sakura said as Tsunade looked up from the reports.
"Sakura, I want you to keep a close eye on him. Report back to me tomorrow afternoon." Tsunade said before motioning for her to leave.
Sakura continued to walk in search of Sasuke to continue her mission. She had walked through various places in Konoha from Ichiraku's to even houses of everyone they knew. It had taken up hours before she decided to give up and walk back to her home for some rest. As Sakura moved closer toward her house, she could see someone standing next to the door of her house.
As if before she could tell that it was Sasuke. Instantly she though of her mother's safety and started to run in fear to make sure that he had not done anything to her family. She stopped in front of him and stood still.
Mission
With a solid face and masked emotions she stood up straight as he slouched so that she was on eye level with him and not looking up to make her seem inferior.
"Get away from my house, Sasuke." Even though her image looked tough her voice was a little shaky. Sasuke stayed silent as he closed his eyes for a moment to look at the sky. It was not to far off from becoming dawn to a new day. His eyes re-opened looking up. Then turned back to Sakura.
"Everyone seems to be asleep in that house since all the lights are turned off."
"What do you want? Why are you here?" Sakura asked, the question could have meant two things, why was he back in Konoha or why was he at her house. Either way Sakura gave an answer that satisfied both. She was just relieved from his answer about her family, they were safe.
"I'm not like that anymore. The cursed seal is holding back the pain from the cursed mark. I want to get ravage against my brother for my clan as an avenger. However, I want to see how my life would be if it were, calmer.
'He's really come back.' Sakura thought, as she looked at him with watery eyes. Then closed her eyes and smiled at him.
"Welcome back, Sasuke-kun."
