YELLING!!
The quadro traveled to the main gate in record time, not slowing their pace. No one spoke the entire way, everyone lost in their own thoughts.
Finally, four figures came into view. The first had a weird toothy grin and orange hair. He was obviously male. The next was also male. He had white hair and looked kinda psycho. The next was a black haired female that was draped over the leader of the group. She had a skimpy shirt on and glasses. Lastly, the group's eyes fell upon a more matured version of Uchiha Sasuke.
"Sasuke-teme." Naruto gazed at the Uchiha in awe, before Anbu surrounded the team.
"Lady Tsunade, what would you like us to do with the prisoners?"
"I'll lead Uchiha back to my office. Take the others to the brig for now. I'll send word when I know what to do with them." The blonde-kage replied.
"B-but she can't put me in jail! I'll meltate! Sasuke-kun! Do something!" the black haired female screeched. Sakura's eye twitched.
"Karin. I told all of you, that as soon as I was back in Konoha that you were on your own. I'm done with Team Hebi. Go make something of yourselves if possible. I'm no longer responsible for you." Sasuke said in a monotone.
"DON'T LEAVE ME WITH DUMB AND DUMBER! I'LL DO ANYTHING!!!" Karin was pulling on Sasuke's pants now, begging for him to take her with him.
"Go to hell." He said, shaking her off of his leg.
Before anything else was said, the Anbu dragged the remenants of Team Hebi away.
"Uchiha. You do realize that your life now lies in the hands of the council, don't you?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes. And I don't regret leaving Konoha. I never did. I'll take whatever punishment the council gives me." Sasuke finished as he was led into the Hokage Tower.
"Tsunade, may I be excused?" Sakura asked suddenly.
The Hokage showed no expression of surprise but let the pink haired girl leave the scene. All of the boys watched her retreating back, before returning to the situation.
"Uchiha. If you have any information for us it may ease your punishment. Would you like to confirm any rumors for us?" Tsunade asked.
"Orochimaru and Kabuto are dead. Along with all of the Sound Village. They won't be a problem. Hidan, Deidara, and Tobi are also dead. Last I knew Kisame Hoshigake was criticaly injured, so he may also be dead. Unfortunately, I do not know the where abouts of Uchiha Itachi. I do however know that Akatsuki is no longer monitering Shukaku but are currently looking for more recruits. That's all of the information I have to my knowledge, Lady Hokage." Sasuke replied, spouting of information.
Tsunade nodded after writing everything down. "Congratulations, Uchiha. You may have just eased your suffering." Sasuke nodded. "In the meantime, while I alert the council," Tsunade paused, "althought they've already heard," she said under her breath, "you go refamiliarate yourself with Konoha. And get a change of clothes, Uchiha. What you're wereing is an insult to Leaf Village."
"Hai, hai. It's not my fault the snake is a homo pediphilic stalker." Sasuke said following Naruto out the door.
Elsewhere: Sakura
Sakura had her knees pulled up to her chest. There were tears streaming down her face. She was sitting under the big Sakura Tree in the middle of the field she had been going to since Sasuke left.
'Why did he have to come back now?' She asked herself. Sakura wanted to crawl in a hole and die.
'Oh stop your weeping! He's back isn't he? Deep down you know that's what you wanted all along. And he's gotten smexier!' a voice said in Sakura's head.
'Who the heck are you?' Sakura asked.
'Don't you remember anything? I'm your inner!'
'And where were you when I was going through everything the past 8 1/2 years?' Sakura asked, a little creeped out that she was talking to herself.
'On vacation. You really don't expect me to sit around her and play concience 24/7 do you?' IS replied.
'Go away.' Came Sakura's simple answer.
People were whispering behind his back. Sasuke knew it but he really didn't care. He cared about the fact that people were nosy little female dogs, but the immense attention that seemed to follow him like a shadow didn't really bother him anymore. "Naruto, who was that black haired kid with you?" he finally asked.
"Oh, Sai? He's your replacement." Naruto replied.
"He looks like a homo." Sasuke replied bluntly.
Naruto's eyes went wide. "He likes Sakura."
"Oh well that's good. So she's happy?"
"You could say that. She's better off now than she was when you left." Naruto responded.
"Aa."
Before Naruto could say anything, a screeching sound came up from behind. "SASUKE-KUN!!!"
"Oh shyte! Naruto, when I give the word, you run like a psycho. Got it?" Sasuke said softly, not wanting to be heard.
"What's my motivation?" Naruto asked.
"Um... Your ramen stash is being stolen."
"I don't have my ramen stash anymore. Sakura-chan took it away!" Naruto replied, crying fake anime tears, making a fool of himself.
"Fine then, the ramen stand is being torn down!" Sasuke thought quickly, looking over his shoulder for safety.
"NOOO! RAMEN! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE WITH ALL THE WATARDS IN THE WORLD!!!" Sasuke sigh and followed close behind.
Finally, they reached Ichiraku Ramen and escaped around back. "Wasn't that Naruto?" They guy asked.
"That's weird something must be wrong. He never passes up ramen. Hmmm..." The girl responded, coming up behind the guy.
"Sasuke! What the hellsing was that for?" Naruto asked.
"We're hiding from Karin." Came Sasuke's simple answer.
"Okay..." IT was five minutes before the boys actually left. They returned to Naruto's appartment and cooked up some ramen. Eventually, Kakashi knocked at the door.
"Uchiha Sasuke. Your punishment will be decided tomorrow afternoon at 6 pm. If you are late you will be accused of treason against the Village of Konohagakure and will be sentanced to death immediately. Is that clear?" The copy master explained, rolling up the scroll he held in his hands.
"Crystal."
"Alright. Now that the serious stuff is over, time for a welcome home gift!" Kakashi had a cheesey grin on his face as hel handed Sasuke a rectangular, green box.
The Uchiha opened the box to find a sight that made him cringe. "Thanks for the offer Kakashi, but I don't read porn. I'm not a pervert."
Kakashi gasped, his eye going wide. "Uchiha Sasuke! It's not porn! It's a masterpiece! And keep it. You may need it later on in life. Especially after staying with that gay homo for almost nine years."
Sasuke sighed and set the perverted book down on the table. There was no getting through to his old sensei's old senile mind.
After a while, Kakashi left and Sasuke sat on Naruto's couch, bored out of his mind. "Ooh! We can go see a movie!" Naruto yelled.
"No." Came the cold answer.
"You're mean, Sasuke-teme!" The blonde exclaimed, pouting. He had come up with 427 things that he and Sasuke could do, all of which the Uchiha had said no to. "I'm beginning you have no since of humor, Sasuke-teme."
"Hn."
"We can go to Sakura-chan's house."
Sasuke sigh. "Fine." He got off the couch and made a strut towards the door.
"YAY!" Naruto opened the door, and started walking to Sakura's house. They walked to the appartment across town, Naruto saying how ramen and women are good together.
Finally they arrived at Sakura's house. Both boys stood there. Eventually, Sasuke spoke up. "Naruto, aren't you going to knock?"
Naruto nodded. "Sakura-chan said I wasn't allowed to knock anymore." Naruto replied. Sasuke sweat dropped, but quickly got over it. Hen knocked twice and waited.
At last Sakura same to the door. "Naruto? Sasuke? What's up?" She asked, surprised.
"The sky. Jeeze Sakura. I think all that time at the hospital has made half of you brain cells fly away!" Naruto replied.
'AH! WHERE'S OUR SUFFIX?! THE AWESOME SUFFIX! NOO! SHE HATES US! I WANT MY SUFFIX!!!!!'
'Woah, holy shyte from hellsing. Who are you?'
'I'm your inner dumb arse.'
'That make perfect since. ALONG WITH FLYING PIDS AND THE TOOTH FAIRY!'
"Sasuke-teme? You gonna come in? It's starting to rain." Naruto said.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Gomen." He mumbled walking in. Sakura shut the door behind him.
"So, Uchiha-san, did you find out what your punishment will be?" Sakura asked.
"I'll find out 6 pm tommorow." Sasuke said.
"Hey Sasuke-teme. If they kill you, it was nice knowin' yah." Naruto said bluntly.
"That was mean Naruto!" Sakura said, whacking Naruto on the head.
"Thanks for keeping up the faith, Naru-dobe... if I do die, I just may come back and rip your guts out." Sasuke said his arms folded across his chest.
"You wouldn't dare."
"I did it to the snake I can do it to you too."
"BUT I'M NOT A HOMO!" Naruto shouted.
"Sometimes I wonder."
"Boys! Please don't fight! Uchiha-san just got back and he may die! Please don't fight!" Sakura said.
"Sakura-chan is right. The chicken butt may die and we're fighting. Gomen Sakura-chan." Naruto apologized.
"Gomen."
"So, do you guys want something to drink?" Sakura asked.
"I'm good." Came Sasuke's simple reply.
"Me too. Thanks though, Sakura-chan."
The trio talked for a while and before they all knew it, it was past midnight. Naruto was dead beat tired and Sakura was yawning a lot. "Sakura-chan I'm gonna head home." Naruto said with a stretch. "Let's go Sasuke."
"You go ahead. I've got something to ask Sakura." Sasuke said plainly.
"MMk! Don't go getting Sakura-chan pregnant before you die now!" Naruto yelled, walking out the door. Sasuke would have murdered Naruto then and there but he didn't want to die just yet.
"What is it, Sasuke-san?" Sakura asked.
"That."
"What?"
"Why do you keep refering to me as 'Sasuke-san'? To tell you the truth it's really annoying. Why are you doing that, Sakura?" Sasuke asked.
"Because. I don't have feelings for you anymore, Sasuke. I could very easily beat you too a bloody pulp at this moment for breaking me like you did. I should be royaly poed at you. To be honest, you don't deserve the kindness that i'm giving you at the moment. I died the day you left. It took the next three years after that just to get over that. And even then, if your name was mentioned, it still hurt. Cus, I thought you were never coming back. Eventually I convinced myself that I didn't love you anymore and could care less if Orochimaru took over your body. Now that you're back, it's even more painful now... to even look at you. Cus, I know that you'll leave again. I'm sorry, Sasuke." Finally, Sakura callapsed in a struggle of tears, letting out all that she had held in.
Sasuke knelt down beside her and wrapped his arms around her shaking body. "Sakura. I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of this. Yes, I will eventually have to leave again. Itachi is still out there and as long as he is the people that I love and care about will always be in danger. But while I'm here, please, just promise that we can try and go back to normal." He begged.
"Okay. So new pact. We'll both try harder to go back to normal. Minus the me asking you out." Sakura replied, extending her hand.
"Right. Agreed." Sasuke and Sakura shook on it as they both stood up. Sasuke brushed away the last of Sakura's tears with his thumb.
'YOU'RE IN LOVE!' ISU shouted in Sasuke's head.
'You're delusional.'
'Dude, you just called your self delusional.'
'You're ruining the moment.'
'0_0. Sorry. I'll be quiet now.'
"Alright. I guess I should go. Naruto's probably asleep already. It's 1:30. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Sakura." Sasuke said, opening the door. Before he left he said, "I really am sorry."
Sasuke walked up to Naruto's appartment. The streets were empty. Sasuke went to open the door only to find it was locked. Next he tried the windows and the back door. Then it dawned on him. "NARUTO!!!"
Inside
Naruto laid snoring away in his bed.
