The twenty-one-year-old Sasuke Uchiha woke up in his room, in the Sound Village, and got ready for the day's training. Although he'd never mention it, he was surprised Orochimaru hadn't tried to take over his body. He just shrugged it off and went outside. After getting to the dead center of the forest, where he can train alone, Sasuke activated his Sharingan and had one of his imagined fights with his brother. After hours upon hours of thsi, he walked back into the Sound Village. When he got back to his room, he turned on the radio and sat on his bed. A few seconds later, the Dj said teh next song was titled "Home" by Chris Daughtry.
"Like I care," Sauke mumbled as the song started playing.
I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.
Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.
The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.
So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.
Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.
Why did I come here, Sasuke asked himself, then shook his head.
"Listen to me. Second guessing myself like Sakura always did... What the?" Sasuke hadn't thought of Konaha or any of his old friends since he was fourteen. Sure, when they tried to get him back, he'd see them but was too busy trying to kill them to reminesce. Now that he thought about it, he was wondering how they were all doing.
"The dobe is probably as stupid as ever, Kakashi-sensei probably still reads those perverted books and Sakura-chan has more than likely forgotten about me and moved on... Wait a minute. Since when do I call Kakashi sensei? And where the hell did the 'chan' come from," he asked. Sasuke admitted to himself that he kinda sorta missed his old home and friends. After really thinking about it, he realized that Orochimaru hadn't helped him at all. Later that night, Sasuke packed all of his things and slipped out of the Sound Village. He was stopped by no one. Three days later, when he was halfway to Konaha, Sasuke noticed his vision was getting a littl blurry. He blinked a few times and his eyes refocused. A few days later, he finally arrived in Konaha in the middle of the night. By now, Sasuke was wiped out so he walked ot the Uchiha grounds (which were still empty) and fell asleep in his old room. After a very fitful sleep, he woke up at around eight in the morining. he looked out the window of his second story bedroom and saw the oh-so familiar pink hair of Sakura Haruno.
Sakura's P.O.V.
I have the strangest feeling I'm being watched by someone. I turn around and, for some ungodly reason, look up. I don't know why, but I half-expected to see someone in the Uchiha mansion. Even so, I was more shocked than I ever have been in my life when I saw what looked like Sasuke Uchiha.
"Sasuke-kun," I whisper, not believing my own eyes. The next thing I know, he's standing right in front of me.
Normal P.O.V.
When Sakura turned and saw Sasuke, he knew he had no other choice but to show this wasn't some psychotic dream. When he went in front of her, his eyesight blurred again, but he just blinked it away.
"Sasuke-kun, is it really you," Sakura asked.
"Hn," he answered.
"When did you get here?" her lower eyelids had a small amount of water on them. Sasuke could tell she was trying not to cry.
"Last night. Why are you crying," he asked emotionlessly.
"Sorry. I just can't believe you're back. Why?" That was a good question. One Sasuke ddin't know the answer to. He simply shrugged in response.
"Have you seen Lady Tsunade yet?"
"No," he answered. Sakura then walked with Sasuke to the Hokage's office. They received many strange looks from the people they passed. After getting there, Sasuke was told he'd be on a yearlong probation in which he couldn't go on any missions or leave the village. By that time, it was almost noon.
"Sasuke-kun, would you like to come with me to Ichiraku's? I'm sure we'll see Naruto there," Sakura suggested, awaiting the inevitable rejection.
"Sure," Sasuke answered. Sakura was more than a little shocked, but started towards the ramen shop anyway. She tried to make small talk, but gave up after the fourth "Hn." When they got to Ichiraku's, they saw Naruto sitting there with Hinata, Ino and Shikamaru.
"Hey guys, what's up," Sakura asked when she saw them all there.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan," Naruto said with a mouthful of ramen. Then he spit it all out. "Teme, what are you doing here?"
"Why do you think dobe? The Sound Village sucks," Sasuek answered. Sakura couldn't help but smile at seeing the two of them argue like they were still best friends. In the back of his mind, Sasuke's question of whether or not Sakura had a boyfriend kept nagging at him. It was about to be answered.
"Hey forehead girl, don't you have a boyfriend yet," Ino, Sakura's best friend, asked.
"So what if I don't," Sakura answered. For some reason he couldn't explain, Sasuke was relieved to hear that. Why do I care, he asked himself as he sat down and ordered some ramen. He noticed Sakura was unusually quiet compared to when they were kids. In fact, the only thing she said or did to show she still liked him was adding "kun" to the end of his name. This irked him to no end, and he didn't know why, which only bothered him more.
"Hey Sakura-chan, why are you so queit," Naruto asked after a while. Sakura simply shrugged. Once Sasuke finished eating, he waited until Sakura started leaving before getting up as well. He walked along side her but after a few minutes, stopped suddenly.
"Sasuke-kun? What's wrong," she asked. Sasuke was staring blankly ahead. He then squeezed his eyes shut, opened them again and looked over at Sakrua. Her eyes showed concern.
"I'm fine," he answered and continued walking. Sakura was still worried, but decided against asking again. She figured Sasuke would just push her away. A few days later, Sasuke nearly ran into someone as he was walkiing with Sakura.
"Watch where you're going," the person yelled.
"Shut up," Sasuke muttered in response. He and Sakura met up wtih Naruto ten minutes later for training. They started by sparring. Sasuke went against Sakura first. Through the first hour, he rarely missed and if he did, it was just barely. Then his vision messed up again. For five straight minutes, everything he did missed Sakura by about four feet.
"Stop," Sakura said. She knew something was up. Sasuke never missed by that much more than once in a fight.
"What's wrong Sakura-chan," Naruto asked.
"Sasuke-kun, is something bothering you," she asked.
"No," he answered simply.
"You never had that bad aim. Sure, you'd miss every once in a while, but not that bad." It was now that Sakura realized Sasuke was squinting a little.
"I'm fine," he answered. Now Sakura was sure he was squinting.
"Are you having trouble seeing?"
"No. Why would you ask a stupid question like that?" Sakura, despite her better judgement, let the conversation go and continued training. Over the next month, Sasuke's eyesight got worse. Then, on Sasuke's birthday, he heard a knock on the door. He opened it to see Sakura, well... a blurry image of Sakura.
"Hello Sasuke-kun. I came to bring you a gift," she said.
"What for?"
"Today is your birthday isn't it? July 23rd?"
"Hm... you want to come in," he asked.
"Uh, okay," Sakura answered and stepped inside the large (okay ginormous) Uchiha mansion. God, please don't let me run into anything, Sasuke thought. He had gotten pretty good at making his way around the house, but still ran into things once in a while. He grabbed a couple glasses from the kitchen and filled them with water. Sasuke went back into the living room and set one down on the coffee table for Sakura. He ended up setting it only halfway on a coaster and it fell off the table, landing on the carpet.
"Dammit," Sasuke muttered.
"Let me help with that," Sakura offered and got up. "Where are the towels," she asked.
"Down the hall. It's the third door on the left," Sasuke answered. Sakura came back out with a towel and started scrubbing the wet spot on the carpet. Sasuke helped and they soon had the carpet semi-dry. They walked into the kitchen and Sakura filled her glass again. Sasuke ended up running into, and hitting his head on, the cupboard door he had left open.
"Fuck," he muttered while rubbing his head.
"That's it," Sakura suddenly said. "I've sat back and watched you have trouble with a lot of things over the past month. I draw the line when you run into things in your own home."
"There's nothing wrong with me," Sasuke answered.
"How many fingers am I holding up," she asked while putting up three fingers. Sasuke squinted but couldn't tell. Finally, he activated his Sharingan, the only way he could really see.
"No using your Sharingan," Sakura barked.
"All right, so my eyesight's a little blurry. It's nothing I can't handle."
"Sasuke-kun, if you were on a mission, you'd die because you woudn't see your enemy."
"I can see just fine," Sasuke answered.
"Hold out your hand." He did so. "Can you tell me anything different about it?" Sasuke had held up his right hand.
"No."
"Feel your index finger." When he did, Sasuke could tell there was an extremely small string tied to it.
"The hell?"
"When you fell asleep after training yesterday, I tied that on your finger as a test, to see if you'd notice." Sasuke had no answer so he just said, "Hn."
"Sasuke-kun, I can fix your eyes. Please, let me help. I don't want to see you get hurt because of this," Sakura begged, tears streaming down her face. Sasuke couldn't see these tears, but he could tell from her voice that she had been crying.
"Why do you care," he asked.
"Because I still love you." Sasuke was surprised, to say the least, that she had waited almost ten years for him. Then, it hit him. He finally realized why he cared if she had a boyfriend, why he thought about her so often. He loved her, and it took him this long to figure it out.
"All right," he said. "Go ahead." Sakura took Sasuke by the hand and led him back into the living room to sit on the couch. She gathered her chakra in her hands and placed them on each side of Sasuke's head, at eye level. Sasuke closed his eyes, relaxed by the feeling of her warm chakra flowing through his temples. When he opened his eyes a minute later, his vision had dramatically improved. In a few more seconds, he could see perfectly, but Sakura continued to make sure Sasuke wouldn't go blind again. As he was staring at her, Sasuke realized just how beautiful Sakura had become. Right when Sakura finished healing him, she was pulled forward adn his lips crashed into hers. She gasped and Sasuke took the chance to slip his tongue in her mouth. Sakura go over her shock and responded to the kiss. Sooner than either of them wanted to, tehy had to break for air.
"I love you too Sakura-chan," Sasuke whispered huskly in her ear and then started trailing light kisses down her neck. Sakura pulled back, causing a frown to cross the Uchiha's face.
"Where did this side of you come from all of a sudden," she asked.
"It's been there, I just never knew it." Sakura leaned forward and kissed Sasuke again.
