Chapter 1 – Return...

Suddenly everything around her became quiet. It was as if sound didn't excist anymore. At the end of the road, surrounded by trees, she saw it. It was so hard to see, but someone was walking over there. She blinks, deep inside her she already knows who it is. She just stares. He's closer now, and she is sure of it. It's him.

He has returned. He has returned...

Thoughts are running through her mind. Her hearing returns, she can hear the wind flowing through the leafs.

He came back to me...

A tear leaks from her green eyes. He walks to her, slowly. She sees his dark raven hair, matching his dark eyes. A katana tied on his back, wearing the clothes he wore ever since he joined Orochimaru. Her vision blurs for a tiny moment, and all she can do is concentrate on the trees surrounding them, on the sounds of nature. He stands in front of her, she didn't even notice him getting so close. She feels paralysed... She can hear his breathing, she can feel his eyes on her. She meets those eyes. She feels paralysed, unable to move, but she does. She slowly moves her arms up, he moves even closer to her. And then, without both of them realising, they are embracing each other. For a moment, it feels awkward for both of them. But then, Sakura pulls him closer, tighter, bodies pressed up on each other. She moves her head in his neck, inhaling his scent. His arms cirkle around her waist, he returns her embrace. For a long moment they stay like this.

They didn't talk during their journey to the village. Sakura had joined Anbu three months ago. She was busy patrolling the area when Sasuke arrived. Her training with Tsunade had made it possible for her to join Anbu at the age of 17. Her mask on the side of her head, her black long gloves pulled up at mid-upperarm, her tattoo visible for Sasuke's eye. They walk next to each other, both remaining silent. When they reached the huge gate of Konoha, the rest of Sakura's Anbu-squad is already waiting for her there.

'Sakura-san?' her team leader speaks.

'It's okay...' she looks at Sasuke from her eye corner 'I'll take him to the Hokage.'

'Hai.' with that, the other four of her team disappear into smoke.

They walk through the streets, the moment everyone sees Sasuke, they all stop talking. Jaws are dropping, eyes are staring. After they passed the crowd, whisperings are spread among all people. Could it be that the youngest Uchiha has returned?

They entered the Hokage building, and after walking the stairs, they stand in front of Tsunade-sama's office. Sakura knocks on the door softly, while Sasuke watches her. 'Yes, yes! Come in.' Tsunade answers, obviously annoyed by the fact that someone bothers her again.

She slowly opens the door, and enters the office, followed by Sasuke. Tsunade's golden eyes widen and her mouth opens slightly. But then she realises again that she is a ninja and her face turns blanco again. Tsunade makes a small motion, for him to sit in the chair in front of her desk. Sasuke takes place. 'I'll leave you for now. Tsunade-sama if you need me...' she didn't need to say anything more. When Tsunade gave her a nodd, she ''poofed'' to her small apartment in a flat.

The sun was already setting, as she stood in her bedroom. The pink and yellow beams painting her room through the large windows. She always loved the view she got through the large windows. Especially when the sun sets. Or rises of course. She opens the door to the bathroom, and takes off her uniform. After the surprising meeting with Sasuke, she really needs a shower.

&&&

By the time she dried herself and pulled on her black khaki pants and her red Haruno shirt, the sun had already set completely. Sakura walks through her small kitchen and makes herself some ramen. She can't help but let her mind wander off to Sasuke. She can't help asking herself the question: Where is he now? I seemed like fate, it seemed to her that she was bound to find Sasuke. To her, it wasn't coincidence.

After her dinner, she decides to sleep early, tomorrow she has an early shift in the hospital. Sakura brushes her teeth. She pulls off her clothes. Ever since she got her own apartment, she prefers sleeping clothes free. It's one of the profits of living by yourself. It always made her feel free... She crawles underneath her soft white sheets, after closing the curtains. Immediately she drifts off.

&&&

After a few hours, Sakura wakes up. A sound of three knocks on her window wakened her. She watches her alarm clock, it's almost midnight. She wraps the sheets around her naked body and hops to the window, rubbing her eyes. She opens the curtain and sees... Sasuke. Immediately all her sleepiness is gone and she can only watch him, sitting on the window sill, outside. He looks down at her, his face telling her nothing about why he has come. The wind softly blows a few strands of hair over his face.

'Do you want to come in?' she mouths. He slowly nods in response. While she is holding the sheet around herself with one arm, she opens the window with her free one. He jumps in, she closes the window again. When he stands in front of her, she sees he's wearing different clothes. A black jounin pants and shirt. She also notices that he is taller than her. 'Sasuke, it's almost midnight... what are you doing he...-'

He kisses her. She does not resist, actually being completly honest with herself... she's missed him. All she wanted to do right now was kissing him back. And she did.

She opens her mouth, letting his tongue in. Their tongues circle around the other, she can almost taste his hunger, his longing... so desparete. She feels it too.While still kissing, Sakura feels Sasuke's hands pulling her arm away from holding the sheet. She lets him.

The sheet falls down to her feet. Sasuke's hand move to her bare sides. With his fingertips he caresses her skin, rubbing his hand featherlight over her hips and her sides. Sakura's hands rest on Sasuke's chest. He pushes her soft and slowly to her bed. She softly lands with her back on the bed, with him laying ontop of her. Their kiss becomes more heated, more passionate, deeper. Sasuke parts for a moment. 'Sakura...' he breaths 'I missed you.'

As he kisses her jaw line she whispers his name in return. Her hands move to his shirt and slowly she pulls it up. He pauses his kisses so she can pull the shirt over his head. While he sits up, they both look at each other for a moment. Him sitting on his knees between her legs. Sakura sits up on her knees too. Her lips meets his as her hand moves into his hair, slightly tugging his soft black raven hair. A few small locks tickle her cheek teasingly. His hands rest on her hips lazily. With her free hand, she softly traces the lines of his stomach's muscles. She moves further down, she opens his pants. Sasuke's hands are suddenly on her shoulders, he pushes her down again. He straddles her legs and pulls off his leftover clothes. Both bare, Sasuke lays between Sakura's legs. Both of their hands, touching each other's delicate bodies. Feeling the soft skins they longed for so long.

They make love.

Intensity, pureness, passion... All feeling they had for each other. Sadness, anger... love. All those feelings are being release, as they are claiming each other to be theirs. Carving themself into the other, finding release in the feeling of despair. That feeling... despair, the feeling that was locked in the deepest dungeon of their hearts. Put away, locked away, hidden behind those heavy iron doors. Hidden together with the deep feelings they had for eachother, but they kept secret. The despair is being released, as they found each other's love back again. The despair is shattered... they are filled with hope as they find each other again. They find each other after that long time in darkness.

They make love...

They make love...

To be continued...

I repeat... this is not the end!
