A.N.

To those of you that are reading this please not that there are two stories before this one. They are called Slowly Slipping Away and Gravity both are found on my profile. The other two stories followed the manga as closely as I possibly could, but this part of the series is completely original and takes place 4 years after the war.

Thank you for reading!

Contemplations

There was a deity up there that had it in for him, he knew it.

"You have only one room?" Sayuri asked the old woman at the counter who smiled and shook her head.

"Just the one." The woman laid out the key on the counter, knowing full well that they had nowhere else to go. "I'm sure the two of you will be just fine."

He half expected Sayuri to protest but to his surprise she paid for the room and took the key without so much as groan. The trip back was proving to be a lot smoother than the start of the mission. When Sayuri said she'd try to get along, she meant it. No longer did keep her distance from him, instead she allowed herself to stand close, sometimes close enough to have their hands brush. However, after the last five accidental brushes she moved to his left, where his hand was…well, missing.

"I'll sleep on the floor." Sasuke offered as he dropped his bag. The room itself wasn't big, but it wasn't small either.

"Actually…" From the corner of his eye he saw her cheeks brighten. "We can share the bed."

"Are you sure?" he asked, watching as she got her things.

"I wouldn't have told you if I wasn't"

Taken slightly aback, he watched dumbly as she went into the restroom, not once sparing him a second glance. Seconds later the shower was on and he was left standing at the doorway. His eyes shifted to the bed, it was big enough to share at least. He took out his sweatpants and a clean black shirt, and sat at the edge of the bed until he heard the water shut off. A few minutes later Sayuri stepped out of the shower, dressed for sleep, and a towel in hand as she dried her hair.

Sasuke gave her a once over, and walked past her and into the restroom. He turned the cold water on and washed himself quickly. By the time he was done, Sayuri was on the bed facing him, eyes still open.

"You're not asleep?"

"Obviously."

He nodded and turned off the lights. He paused at the door way watching her watch him, and carefully slid under the covers. As soon as he was settled, Sayuri shifted onto her back, hands folded on her abdomen.

"You help me sleep." She finally said. He turned to her, wide eyed as she tilted her head to him. Her hair took on a brown color in the night as lay beneath her. "I don't know why."

"Hn." He nodded. Was she aware of what she had just told him? Sasuke wondered as he watched her eyes flutter shut.

If he wasn't sure before, he was now. Someone had it in for him.

It was quiet inside the dimly lit Hokage's office. So much so that you could almost hear a pin drop. Moriyo stood beside him arms crossed under her chest while Sasuke and Sayuri stood very still on the other side of the silver haired Hokage's desk. Kakashi's black eyes moved left to right as he read their report, his brows drawing in at certain points. After a little more than a minute, the man sat back, placing their report on his desk. He laced his fingers tighter and rested his chin on them.

"You lost him."

"Yes, sir." Sayuri replied.

"And from Sasuke's report two days ago, he killed another woman."

"Yes, sir." Again, Sayuri replied.

Kakashi shifted his gaze from the Marihasha to the Uchiha. "Moriyo…"

Said woman stepped up, picking up two sheets on Kakashi's desk. "The two men had gone rouge from the Hidden Stone Village." She informed. "Both were classified as special jounin, they never interacted, and their supervisors had no idea where they went off to."

"That would defeat the purpose of going rogue." Sasuke said in a semi bored tone. Beside him, Sayuri looked away trying to hide her snicker.

Moriyo cleared her throat, bright orange eyes narrowing at the young man. "What happened to Hiro's body?"

"It was not where we left it, obviously." Said Sasuke.

"He was gone when we went back to the clearing." Sayuri quickly added, trying to keep her boss from blowing up at the Uchiha. Frankly she was not up for dealing with the angry woman, and the only reason she was here in the first place was because protocol called for it. "The only body there was that of the dead woman, the villagers reported seeing Naoki with her before her death."

"This is getting out of hand." Kakashi mused. "Whoever is their ring leader definitely knows what they're doing, especially if they were able to take on you both."

"I apologize." Sayuri bowed.

Moriyo eyed Sayuri and sighed. "It'll be fine, for now just rest. You both look like you need it."

"Moriyo's right." Kakashi nodded. "You are dismissed."

They watched their two students leave the office quietly, closing the door behind them. As soon as they were out of earshot, Kakashi turned to Moriyo who looked down at him with a raised brow.

"I know, I know." He waved, moving to stand. "You warned me about them."

"Sayuri hardly ever fails a mission." Moriyo frowned. "She's good at her job, she's not perfect but that boy is a distraction."

Kakashi who had moved to look out the window watching as the two ninja stepped out into the open smirked. "How much of a distraction can he be if they're not even together, Moriyo."

The dark haired woman rolled her eyes at her friend. "They don't have to be together to be distracted."

"Well that went well." Sayuri grumbled. Next to her, Sasuke stuffed his hand inside his pocket, mild frustration showing in the crease of his brow.

"There was nothing we could have done in our former state."

"Yeah, well, I should have thought ahead."

Sasuke scoffed. "I didn't even think ahead."

Sayuri tilted her head up to him. "I forget, they called you a genius."

"They still call me that." He shrugged.

"Right." She said, sarcasm evident in her tone.

Sasuke watched as the moonlight hit her features, no longer hiding behind the façade of another woman. It had been a long time since he had seen her like this. Mismatched red and blue eyes, and unruly auburn hair, the rest of her hiding under the black cloak.

"What?" Sayuri asked, catching him staring. "Do I have something on my face?"

His fingers twitched and his eyes shifting to her lips for a second as she drew her fingers to them. So Sasuke looked away, deciding that the shops down the road were more interesting than the young woman beside him. "It was nothing." He lied through his teeth, but she didn't seem to notice, or care.

"Well then…" He heard her footsteps and turned back to her. "I'm heading home."

"Do you want me to walk you?" He said without thinking, an action he regretted as soon as she stopped to look at him over her shoulder. The distance between them seemed to stretch for miles instead of the couple of steps it really was.

She offered him a small smile. "No, I'll be fine. Thanks for the offer." And with that she waved at him, then went on her way.

Sasuke stood at the entrance of the Hokage tower for a few more seconds watching as Sayuri's back disappeared before he went off on his path. He had travelled down the lamp lit road for a few minutes when he stopped. He felt like he needed something, but tried to ignore the want and took a couple of more steps before stopping again, suddenly recalling that he had agreed to see Sakura when he came back. He turned, hesitating for a fraction of a second before shrugging his hesitation off and heading down the not so familiar road.

A feeling in his gut told him to turn around the closer he got to her apartment, but he ignored it. Coming up to the door he lifted his arm to knock, again there was that feeling; the twisting of his stomach like what he was about to do was wrong. But he knocked anyway. Not even a minute later, Sakura opened the door, face brightening when she saw just who was knocking on her door.

"Sasuke!" she smiled brightly, throwing her arms around the Uchiha, who had to take a step back to keep from falling.

"Sakura." He greeted.

She quickly pulled him in. "Make yourself at home! I didn't know you were coming today, if I had I would have made you something to eat." She beamed at him watching as he continued to stand by the door, eyes darting around the small entrance. "So how was the mission?"

"Good…" and after a brief pause he added. "…bad"

Sakura blinked at the dark haired man. "Good and…bad?" she frowned. "Did something happen with Sayuri?" Jealousy seeping into her tone.

"Sakura we talked about this already…" he began but the young woman approached him, standing before him hand on his chest. Green eyes shined under the light as she looked up at him almost pleading.

"I know what you said. But…" she leaned forward pressing her lips to his. "…Please try."

He hesitated at first but, threw logic out the window. She wanted him to try, he'd try. He pinned her to the door, his lips on hers. The pink haired woman gasped all former thoughts erased from her mind, and he took full advantage of the opportunity to deepen the kiss. He felt her arms wrap around his neck, as she stood on her toes trying to get closer to him.

Sasuke had never kissed her with this much desperation. Sakura noted as the Uchiha pushed her back against the door. She let him continue as she returned the kiss with just the same amount of emotion. Her legs wobbling bellow her at feel of his hand wondering down to her hip.

Sasuke felt the slight swell of her hip and pressed on. He had too much pent up energy and frustration from the mission and he needed release. He moved his kisses to her neck and she tilted her head up to allow him more access. She gasped when he bit her and she pulled his head closer to her. Feeling the need in him grow he pulled back to stare at Sakura but what he saw was Sayuri.

Sayuri staring up at him with half lidded mismatched eyes. Sayuri with disheveled auburn hair. Sayuri with a growing red mark on her neck. Sayuri with her arms around his neck. Sayuri calling his name.

"Sasuke?" she asked with a voice that did not belong to her. "Sasuke?" she asked again, this time mismatched eyes turned green, auburn hair became pink. The body pressed against him, pulling him closer changing to that of Sakura's.

"Sasuke?" she asked when he abruptly pulled away, running his hand through his hair. "What's wrong?" she reached for him but he stepped back avoiding her touch.

"I need to go." He said.

"Why…?"

Sasuke covered his mouth with the back of his hand, eyes darting wildly left and right. "I just need to."

She hesitated for a few seconds but opened the door for him anyway, as he all but ran out. Sakura watched her boyfriend hastily make his way out of the apartment building without so much as a glance back. When he was out of sight, the pink haired medic closed the door with a soft click pausing at it before turning to go back into her living room.

She smiled, fingers on her lips, eyes landing on her old team photo. Slowly the rosette picked up the photo, caressing Sasuke's image lovingly then her eyes shifted down to herself and finally to Sayuri and Naruto. The smile on her lips slipped.

"He…He loves her…" Karin's words rang in her head.

Sakura bit her lip hard and gasped at stinging sensation she felt soon after. "What am I doing…" she scolded herself and placed the picture back on the shelf. "She's my friend…and he's with me." Her eyes strayed over to the pouting blonde in the picture and felt as if all of a sudden she couldn't breathe.

Sasuke slammed the door to his apartment. He threw off his cloak and pack, and headed for the shower, letting the cold water fall on his heated skin.

What is wrong with me!? He demanded himself as he scrubbed himself clean.

His forehead touched the cool tile of the shower as he thought about what he had done to Sakura. It felt wrong, he shouldn't have done that. He turned the faucet off and grabbed a towel patting himself dry before moving to get some clean clothes. When he slipped on his black sweatpants, Sasuke sat on the edge of the bed.

I should have listened to my instincts and gone home instead. He lamented. Black eyes slid to the window of his small apartment. He could see the lights from the bars and restaurants that were still open. Pushing himself to his feet he walked up to the window, watching the night life bellow him. His eyes spotting a young couple walking hand in hand. The sight bringing back a memory from three years ago.

"Oh!" Sayuri tilted her head up to get a better look at him. Sasuke looked down at her, as she lay her palm flat on the center of his chest. His hand was gripping hers firmly keeping her close to him and out of harm's way when a couple of genin, went crashing down right on the spot where she had been mere moments ago.

Both could just barely hear the children's instructor scolding them. Sayuri felt Sasuke's thumb run over her knuckles and his heart beating beneath her palm. Sasuke felt Sayuri's fingers twitch over his chest and saw the parting of her lips, his eyes straying down to them when she pulled away clearing her throat.

"Thank you." She said almost breathlessly. He found himself smirking at the faint pink dusting her cheeks.

Sasuke yanked the blinds close, effectively shutting out the outside lights. I need to stop thinking about her. He thought as he made his way to his bed, pulling the blue covers up and sliding in. It never does me any good. He closed his eyes, and soon the world around him became background noise, before completely fading away.

Her fingertips brushed the cool wooden floor. Her brows dipped and she whined under her breath. Legs shifted and the bear fell with a dull thud. The door to her home opened and light footsteps made their way to her.

"Hey, sleeping beauty!" Hajime said and within seconds he was pinned to the ground, kunai at his throat. He hesitated to even take a breath, the sharp metal object so close to his neck that any movement would draw blood.

Above him Sayuri had her knees on his biceps, digging painfully into them but keeping his arms pined to the ground. Her eyes were glassy, her bangs almost obscuring the bright mismatched orbs. She wasn't really looking at him though, he realized keeping as still as he possibly could.

"Sa-Sayuri…" he started slowly and flinched when he felt the cold steel of the kunai press against his neck. "He-Hey…calm down…" he spoke as calmly as he could while trying to figure out a way to get her off him without getting killed. His salvation came in the light gasp. Hajime's bright eyes shifted to the doorway where Diachi stood. "A little help?"

At that Sayuri looked up, but Diachi was faster, he took her arm and twisted it enough for her to drop the weapon with a grunt. He shoved her off of Hajime pinning her hands behind her back, almost slamming her onto the floor. Hajime sat up and rubbed his neck, and when he was satisfied that there was not injury he turned to Diachi and Sayuri.

Sayuri did not struggle, instead she blinked up at them in confusion. Red and blue eyes darting everywhere trying to understand what was going on.

"Diachi?" she asked but the man did not get off.

"What the hell, Sayuri!" Hajime snapped at her. "You could have killed me!"

"I…" Sayuri frowned in confusion. "What are you doing here!?"

"Moriyo-sensei told me to check up on you." Hajime answered, hand still at his neck.

"You had him pinned down and a kunai at his throat." Diachi explained, easing up but not letting her arms go. "You really could have killed him."

Sayuri didn't understand. One moment she was walking next to her parents and the next she was being chased by… "Oh…"

Her two companions watched her stunned. Diachi felt her go limp and he got off, allowing Sayuri to sit up. The two exchanged looks when she refused to look at them, instead choosing to watch her hands on her laps. Already they could see the red marks of Diachi's fingers forming on her wrists. The brown haired man winced, maybe he shouldn't have been too rough.

Hajime rubbed his chin leaning forward cautiously. "Your sleep is getting worse. Isn't it?"

"I'm taking care of it." She stood up and moved to the kitchen, the boys behind her.

"Sayuri, this can't keep going on." Diachi began watching the auburn haired girl take out a plate. "Talk to us, whatever is going on-"

"I said I'm taking care of it!" the plate in her hands shattered when it hit the sink.

"Whoa!" Hajime rushed forward turning on the faucet to wash off the blood in her hands. Diachi, on the other hand, crossed his arms over his chest, fingers digging into his skin. "You need to be more careful!" The silver haired man scolded as he gently dabbed the wounds in her hands with a towel.

Sayuri looked over her shoulder to Diachi who was visibly paler, with pursed lips staring at the sink. "I'm sorry." He nodded stiffly and walked over to turn off the water with a shaky hand.

"I can handle it."

Hajime sighed, eyes on the bloodied cloth. "How about we go out for breakfast!" his two friends turned to him with raised eyebrows. "Sayuri just came back from a mission and I think we all need to relax, what do you say!?"

"Hey, bastard!" Naruto grinned at Sasuke Uchiha who stood with his hand on the door knob glaring at the blonde.

"What are you doing here, idiot?"

Naruto laughed and scratched the back of his now short blonde hair. "I heard from Kakashi-sensei that you got back from your mission."

"So?"

"Aw, come on don't be rude! I wanted to see if you wanted to go out for breakfast. You know catch up!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes and sighed. "Sure."

"Grea-HEY!" Naruto shouted when the door to Sasuke's apartment was slammed shut in his face. A minute later, the door opened and Sasuke stood at the door, black pants and purple long sleeve.

"Let's go." Sasuke said as he headed for the stairs of the apartment building. Grinning, the blonde ran to catch up.

"So what have you been up to?" Naruto asked as they walked side by side.

"Traveling. Seeing things in a new light. Same as before."

"Aww, that's no fun!" his blonde friend whined.

Sasuke allowed himself a small smile, something that he was beginning to find out was becoming easier to do. "Hn."

Naruto put his arms behind his head, leaning up to stare at the bright sky. "I've been shadowing Kakashi-sensei! He's showing me the ropes."

"Did he nominate you for Hokage already?" Sasuke asked looking a bit surprised.

Naruto laughed. "No, but he says it'll be soon. Maybe you could be one of my advisors!" he nudged the Uchiha playfully and Sasuke shoved him away.

"Like I'd advise you."

"Come on!" Naruto whined. "Well, maybe I'll ask Sakura then." And at the mention of the rosette, Naruto dropped his arms to his side. His smile wavering.

Sasuke noticed the change in behavior and mentally winced. "Naruto-"

"I'm happy, for both of you." He quickly added. "Really, I am!" Sasuke gulped and looked away. "I just, thought that it'd be Sayuri but, Sakura seems happy." Naruto's sharp blue eyes noticed Sasuke's stiff posture at the mention of the auburn haired girl.

"Remember what I said…at the Valley of the End."

Naruto turned to Sasuke. "About you and Sayuri?"

"I'm starting to think that was the one thing I was right about."

Naruto blinked at the man next to him, and anger began to boil up inside him. "Sasuke if you're using Sakura to get over-"

"Sakura asked me, Naruto." Sasuke sighed. "I said yes, but only to show her that I'm not what she thinks I am."

"And what would that be?"

"Perfect."

"To her you are." Naruto said in a whisper, but Sasuke heard him anyway.

"It's what she thinks, but I'm not."

"Naruto, Sasuke?" the two stopped and watched Sakura wave at them. She was walking beside Ino who smiled at them and waved as well.

"Crap." Sasuke heard Naruto curse under his breath as the two headed over to the girls.

Sakura beamed at them while Ino shifted her blue orbs from Naruto to Sasuke. She then wondered if Sakura couldn't tell their change in demeanor or if she chose to ignore it. Glad I'm not between those two.

"Where were you two headed?" she asked curiously, sneaking glances at Sasuke.

"To get breakfast." Naruto smiled awkwardly. "Want to come?"

"We can't." Ino replied. "We're supposed to be at the hospital in five minutes, right Sakura?" the turned to the medic who tilted her head to the side lost in her own thoughts as she looked from Sasuke to Naruto. "Sakura?" Ino said a little louder, shaking her friends arm.

"Wha-! Oh, yes! Hospital. Sorry boys."

"Don't worry." Naruto laughed, clearly relieved. "You girls go do what you have to do."

Sakura smiled up at the blonde. "Right! I'll see you boys later."

"Ok, bye-bye!" Ino waved, tugging Sakura along.

Naruto stared after Sakura until she turned to corner. Next to him Sasuke stared too. He wondered if she was still thinking about last night and if maybe she had begun to see things for how they were.

"Can we never eat without someone interrupting us!" Hajime groaned in frustration as he all but slammed money onto the table covering for all three of them. Around them the customers began murmuring while staring at the three ninja in the booth, some even going so far as to lean out to get a better look at them.

Meanwhile Diachi closed his eyes trying to keep his own irritation at bay, while Sayuri looked down at the food longingly.

"I'm sorry!" the Chunin squeaked bowing before he bolted out of the restaurant.

"Let's go see what our Hokage wants now." Hajime grumbled as he slid out of the booth.

Sayuri quickly snatched three onigiri and followed the silver haired ninja, while Diachi gulped down his drink.

"Stupid Kakashi and his terrible timing." Hajime grumbled taking a bite of the rice ball that Sayuri handed to him as soon as they were out in the street.

"Thanks." Diachi said as he too bit into the rice ball. Beside him Sayuri was half way done with hers as they leisurely made their way to the tower.

They barely got to the door of the silver haired man's office when they heard shouting down the hall. All three stopped and turned to the right where the commotion was coming from.

"Naruto, calm down!" they heard a female voice yell just at the blonde slid around the corner.

"You guys got called too!?" He asked, blue eyes wide.

"Naruto!" Sakura hissed catching up to him, behind her Sasuke causally strolled over to them.

The door to Kakashi's office swung open before any of them could say any more. Shikamaru stood on the other side, yawning.

"Good, you're here." He said rubbing his eyes. "Get inside." All six obediently entered the room, standing before their Hokage.

"What's going on, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked first.

"Sasuke, Sayuri." Kakashi called, ignoring the blonde's question. "We found Naoki."

"Who the hell is that?" Naruto blurted out.

"He's your mission." Kakashi answered. "Sasuke and Sayuri were sent out a week ago to investigate a couple of murders that have been occurring on the border, unfortunately this man…" he said presenting everyone with a picture of Naoki. "…Got away. Fortunately, we have a lead on him again. He's within the Wind Country boundaries now, and since sending two ninja before didn't work out, I'm sending the six of you." Both Sayuri and Sasuke looked taken aback. Between them Naruto snickered.

"I think that's overkill, but hey, I'm not Hokage." Shikamaru shrugged, as he leaned against the wall.

"Man, you two must have messed up real good if Kakashi-sensei is sending all of us!" Naruto teased.

"Shut up!" Sasuke and Sayuri snapped at the blonde.

"We don't need them, just send us to where the lead is and we'll bring him back." Sasuke spoke, eyes narrowed at his former teacher.

Kakashi laced his fingers together and shook his head. "That won't be possible."

"Why the hell not!?" Sayuri demanded now. "I know we let him get away but that won't happen again. We know how he works and-" Sayuri bit her lip at Kakashi's raised hand.

"It won't be possible because the Kazekage requested all of you. There is a festival in Suna coming up in four days, there will be people coming into the village from all over the wind country and he wants to make sure they are safe. We know that Naoki was working with more than just one person, how many we don't know, but we're not taking any chances. We need to make sure that the civilians are safe and that we catch him and whoever else is working with him before any more murders occur."

He picked up two scrolls and tossed one to Naruto and the other to Diachi. "Those contain information you will need for the mission. Sayuri, Sasuke, since you two know our target better than the rest, you're team leaders."

"Team Eight is already in Suna, they were sent there as representatives for the leaf for the festival. They'll help in any way they can." Shikamaru added.

"You set out tomorrow. That's it, you're dismissed." Kakashi waved them off.

"You failed a mission?" Hajime turned to Sayuri once the door to Kakashi's office was closed.

The auburn haired girl rolled her eyes. "I think we've established that already."

"How could you fail a mission!?" Hajime asked taken by surprise.

"It's not she planned for it to happen." Sasuke spoke up, moving to stand beside Sayuri, not liking Hajime's tone.

"This is insane…" Diachi said, light brown eyes on the scroll. "Who the hell is this Naoki guy?"

"Let me see the scroll." Sakura told Naruto who handed it over to her without much thought. Opening it and reading its contents quickly, they could all see the concern on her face. "How were they able to…"

"Is it really Kenji?" Diachi asked the Marihasha who rubbed her arm.

"I don't know."

"You don't know!?" Hajime exclaimed taking a step forward.

"You need to calm down." Sasuke warned, stepping towards the silver haired man.

Hajime glared at Sasuke and gritted his teeth. "This doesn't concern you, you're not her teammate."

"She was part of my team before yours. She is my teammate."

"Well not anymore."

"You're missing them the point!" Sayuri sighed placing a hand on Sasuke's arm. With a scoff he stepped back an action that didn't go unnoticed as Naruto's blue eyes shifted to Sakura who looked between Sasuke and Sayuri, slight frown on her lips. "We need to stop them…him. How it happens I don't care, let's just go and enjoy our day and meet tomorrow morning. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got somewhere I'm supposed to be." The young woman narrowed her eyes at Hajime before heading for the exit.

"We're not done!" Hajime yelled after her.

"I say we are!" Sayuri yelled back as she rounded the corner.

Hajime growled, hands balling into fists at his sides. Diachi patted his shoulder calmly. "Let it go." The silver haired ANBU turned to him looking at him as if he had grown a second head.

"I know I'm not the only one that thinks that her failing a mission is odd! She's not-"

"Let. It. Go." Diachi said through his teeth, eyes narrowing dangerously at the young man.

Hajime stepped back, looked over his shoulder to the three curious ninja and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Whatever." He turned on his heel and purposefully hit Sasuke with his shoulder. The later moving back, hiding his irritation very well.

"Sorry." Diachi bowed at the three and followed his friend out.

"Is there something we need to know, Sasuke?" the Uchiha shifted his mismatched orbs to Sakura who looked up at him, irritation shining in her green eyes.

"No." and with that he too followed the hallway to the exit.

Sakura sucked in her breath, watching her boyfriend leave. Beside her, Naruto placed a hand on her shoulder, offering her a kind smile. Her eyes widened in surprise, it had been a while since Naruto touched her at all.

It feels…nice. The thought surprised her, as a faint blush dusted her cheeks.

"It'll be ok."

The rosette nodded. "Right." But as she followed the blonde out, she couldn't help but wonder just what happened between Sayuri and Sasuke a year ago.

A.N.

Don't kill me! I took forever but it's here and I made it longer than the others. Please let me know what you think, I know some of you will not be happy about the Sakura thing, but trust me it will get better…eventually. Any way, thank you for reviewing and all of the helpful criticism. Please keep at it! Until next time.

Please review!
