Chapter 14 – Adjusting back into life
Sasuke smiles leaning forward to kiss her again, but Sakura slumps forward fast asleep. Sasuke chuckles lightly "Night my love" he kisses her forehead and gently picks her up bridal style, being careful not to wake her up and lies her down gently in the bed and pulls the quilt over her and lies down beside her, watching her peaceful features until he finally falls to sleep himself.
In the middle of the night Sakura wakes up, she sees a sleeping Sasuke next to her and smiles at how cute he looked. She slowly moves his arm from round her waist and gets out the bed quietly, cursing the creaking bed springs under her breath and turns her head slowly back to find Sasuke still asleep, she lets out a sigh of relief and grabbing a dressing gown from the side she quickly sneaks out the side.
She wraps her arms around her and she walks, she slowly approaches a bench and takes a seat on it looking down at the ground with mournful eyes. Unaware of the rising sand forming behind her, "Sakura?" she looks up,
I know that voice she turns around and smiles to see the kazekage himself before her eyes "Gaara San hi" she waves politely. He nods in acknowledgement and moves around the front of the bench to stand in front of her with his arms crossed in front of him,
"What are you doing out here so late?" he asks in his monotone voice staring at her intently. She runs a hand through her hair sighing,
"Just getting used to everything again, trying to feel alive but I just can't seem to adjust, like where I was it felt right...peaceful, I was happy…" she sighs "…and I just feel the need to go back there, I feel so out of place here" She slumps her head back down towards the ground. Gaara watches the pink haired medic nin before him,
"I know how you feel" he simply says, she raises her head slightly "you feel isolated like you don't belong, that you'll do anything you can to feel alive again…I know…I've been there." Sakura nods. "When I heard a certain pink haired kunoichi from the village hidden in the leaves and a team mate of Naruto Uzumaki had risen from the dead…I had to come, to see how you were dealing" Gaara sits down next to her.
Sakura laughs slightly "Gaara, you sound like you care," she smiles turning to face him "thank you" Gaara's lips form into a small smile. They both sit there looking out into the night sky in silence, nothing but the trees blowing in the wind can be heard.
"You should get back" Gaara states breaking the silence, Sakura nods standing up,
"Thank you Gaara, this has really helped, coming from someone who understands what I'm going through, has finally made me understand" she smiles and waves goodbye to him and turns walking away, his eyes go and he watches her go curiously,
No matter what she thinks or says, she's not ok, she will have it rough…she will need all the help she can get. He thinks slowly disappearing in his sand.
Sakura quietly slips back into bed next to Sasuke and smiles snuggling up to him and he wraps his arms round her tight still fast asleep. It doesn't get better than this, this is all I wanted…right? She thinks to herself staring up at the ceiling.
