I shall return

Dedicated to: byakugan neji

"Sasuke?"

"Hn."

"Why did you come back?"
"Because I promised you I will return."

"But, what about Orochimaru? You still have his seal?"

"Ne. Just let it be."

"Look. I'm just ---"

"Let me rest, Sakura."

It was morning at Konoha's Hospital. Ten years of mornings, noons, afternoons, and evenings that have passed by. They were both twenty five by now.

"Sasuke, why?"

"Why why?"

"Why did you ever come back? I swore that when I was on an assassination mission that you swore that you would never come back to Konoha!"

"Ne, just. . .try to remember."

My first ever Flashback

Leaves were rustling. The wind flew in between an female masked ninja who stood in front of a guy with raven black hair that had blue highlights, that had half of his body covered with seals.

"Come back to Konoha or else" said the pink haired kunoichi.

"Or else what?"

The kunoichi pulled out a box of acupuncture needles, but it didn't glimmer like newly polished metallic silver. Instead it glimmered menacing onyx black.

"Hn. Sakura, give me a break. I will never return to Konoha." The kunoichi gasped. After two long years of not seeing or talking to each other (except now) this person seem to know her too well.

"Please. Just-just come back to Konoha! I'm begging you Sasuke! They need you there! I need you!" the kunoichi said, warm tears slowly pouring from underneath the mask. The nukenin smirked, went to the assassin and put down her mask. Then he put it down the floor, careful to not break it, for he has to protect her identity.

He turned around to see the sobbing kunoichi. He slowly wiped away the tears that poured from her milky skin towards the ground that broke into a million pieces as it collided with the sand and dust (A/N: sand and dust? Synonyms)

" Don't worry, MY pink haired kunoichi. I shall return."

A/N: So? What do you think? The "I shall return" of Sasuke, it came from my Araling Panlipunan I (Social Sudies I) when Douglas MacArthur returned to the Philippines somewhere in Leyte. I'm not a first year highschool student any more. I'm in second year. ,
