"What did you say?" Sakura asked a little frightened.
Sasuke cleared his throat. "I said I'm sorry" he blurted without difficulty. "I'm sorry that you were lonely and had to take the embarrassment of our team" he added.
Sakura sensed that he meant what he had claimed. "It's okay..." Sakura decided, remembering Naruto's words.
'..Tell Tsunade-sama to welcome him right back'
Tsunade wasn't responsible for the village any longer; as a result it was her duty to fulfill Naruto's wishes. And although Sakura was Hokage, the Uchiha still failed to recognize her gift. To him, she lives to be the annoying little genin who strapped herself to his side twenty-four seven. Nothing would adjust that. But perhaps, it was time to mature. There's just something about adults that makes it simpler to pardon affairs that have existed years ago. Perhaps it was time for forgiveness…Perhaps it was time to withhold your shield and recreate your bond of trust again…especially if it's what your "dead" friend wanted.
"Look, can we just get along for a month. I swear I'll be gone then" Sasuke triggered the silence once more.
He'll be gone. He'll be gone. The sentence had terrified her. Wasn't it safer to just stay far away from him for a month? Otherwise, when he'd leave from her life once more, she'd be broken again. After gluing herself back together, was it worth the risk to let Uchiha Sasuke in her life again?
"Deal" she spoke wryly, urging her right hand forward "We're friends now" Sasuke shook her hand.
Three weeks ago: Naruto's hospital
"What are you going to do about Sakura?" Naruto asked gently, still lying on his comfy bed. Sasuke had just revealed a traumatic event that was bound to happen. Tears brimmed over the rims of his eyes.
"You have to do something about Sakura-chan!" he demanded angrily "You can't just do this do her!"
Sasuke shot him an unpleasant stare. "What do you want me to do about it!?" he shouted back.
"I want you to go" Naruto explained seriously. "I want you to go to Konohagakure and MAKE HER HAPPY!"
"Why would you even think—"
"Sasuke, most of my memories are back. I can perform my jutsus perfectly now. I appreciate you staying here for seven years but--" Naruto assured "Seriously Sasuke, GO!"
Naruto ordered for him to disappear. He knew it had to be done.
Konoha: A few days later
Friendship is a funny thing. Some would say that it's safer than love because it's not as dangerous—so therefore once you lose a friend, it wouldn't hurt so seriously.
Since their agreement in friendship, Sakura and Sasuke seem to be addicted to it. There would be surprise visits from Sasuke in the afternoon just to talk. Lately, all Sakura's free time scheduled:
- Spend time with Sasuke-kun
-Spend time with Sasuke-kun
-Spend time with Sasuke-kun
-Spend time with Sasuke-kun.
Others assumed that they were dating, but never spoke of it. Their lives involved each other so greatly that it was nearly impossible not to see the other. It was when Sakura had requested that he visit one afternoon, was when he received such shocking information.
As he stepped quietly inside the Hokage office, he observed a little girl chatting and giggling with Sakura. She had long hazelnut hair which reached her lower back. He also spotted two purple streaks that marked diagonally across on each cheek.
When Sakura's eyes led themselves to Sasuke, so did the little girl's. The girl appeared to be an angel to him. One look at her kind face was all it took to convince him that she was. Yet, there was something familiar about her.
"Sakura...who is she?" he asked. Sakura gulped.
"Sasuke-kun, this is Rin" she said "She's sensei's daughter"
