(author's note) please don't bother me with the fact that the time isn't right and everything after Sasuke left things went different in this story some of the events in the series have happened in this story but at a different time or place just like the fact that the whole shadow clone training of Naruto is not near Konoha but when he's still with Jiraya. Oh btw if you didn't know yet I do not own Naruto and all of it's characters.

Where have you been? (Chapter 4)

Chapter 4

When I woke up I felt still felt her lying in my arms even though her breathing had changed, she wasn't asleep anymore and I could feel her looking straight at me.

"why are you looking at me?"

I said with a smirk. I opened my eyes and could read from her expression that she hadn't expected me to wake up already.

"Y-you seemed so calm it was so different than the way you used to sleep h-have you achieved your first goal"

I knew she was remembering what I had said on the first day we were together as team seven. Yes he's dead and Kisame is and I found out Sasori is as well"

"I-I knew Sasori was killed he was killed on a mission I went on with team Kakashi. Akatsuki had kidnapped Gaara of the sand"

"So it is true the pink haired kunoichi did kill him"

I said with a playful smirk. She nodded a little bit, then I heard her stomach rumble, so I got up and made my way to the kitchen, she followed, probably guessing where I was going.

I made ourselves some breakfast with toast, some fruit and jus d'orange. While we were eating I asked whether she knew how Naruto's hunt for Akatsuki was proceeding.

"The last letter I got was half a year ago… saying that Deidara was killed and also Kakuzu and Hidan are history… He also told me he would be back between now and the next month."

"okay it seems like they made quite some progress"

I smiled hearing that Naruto would still be a worthy rival, I was looking forward to sparring to him again but that would have to wait. First take care of Sakura make sure she's in good shape again she was too vulnerable like this

"I guess you need some clothing, hm? For both training and everyday life?"

She blushed and nodded. We finished dinner and I cleaned the kitchen while she took a shower brushed her teeth and got dressed, when she was done it was my turn in the bathroom I took half of her time to get ready for the day but well she's a girl so I guessed it was allowed.

I got my wallet and we walked to the shops, she seemed to polite to look at anything she liked so I constantly had to tell her what she would need -really tiring- and I felt like a pervert when I had to lead her into a lingerie store and hat to start about that she would also need underwear, her cheeks were shaded with a dark shade of red when I asked her what kind she would want. Of course I acted like it was the most normal thing on earth but it didn't feel normal to me.

She walked around to shy to grab anything also trying to not be rude since she would be my money… I sighed and stood up from the corner where all the guys were waiting for their girlfriends to finally make a decision.

"What kind of bra do you usually wear? Sports? Lacy? See through? Formed?"

"It seems you know a lot about it, Sasuke-kun"

Okay damn I was just trying to help and she had to start about my knowledge about bras. Just act normal Sasuke! So I shrugged and said:

"you didn't answer my question, Sakura-chan"

She seemed surprised by me adding the suffix to her name, I grinned because of her reaction. She was completely dazed and was silent for quite long time only when I crooked an eyebrow to show her I was waiting for an answer she mumbled:

"on missions and training sports bra and normally formed…"

"Okay finally and what's your size?"

I walked towards some sports bras and when she answered I handed her three with about that size and the same with some formed bras, I handed her some small matching panties and sat down in the corner, with the guys staring at me in adoration.

"Wow man you solve that quickly my girl won't let me choose anything."

Inside I blushed deeply but on the outside I just seemed cool.

"yes there is one difference she is not my girl she is just a friend…"

When she finally came out with the right bras and panties, I grabbed some extra in the same sizes and walked to the counter to pay.

When we walked out she mumbled a soft thank you, she was hell red but I acted like I hadn't noticed her new skin colour and led her to a clothing store. This time I didn't give her a chance to look for herself because by the time she would be finished Naruto would have returned. I handed her what I liked and her job was just trying it on saying yes or no this went quite quick and in half an hour we were on our way to a shoe store this was also done rather quickly.

We still had to get shuriken and kunai, a hairbrush and some personal feminine stuff and she would probably want some make up and different shampoo or something. When we were finally done with all the shopping for her we got stuff for dinner for the coming four days and we dressed for training to see what she was still capable of.

It turned out that she still had been training but at night when nobody saw her, too be honest I was scared of her chakra enhanced punches. She still wasn't unbelievably quick but her speed had improved amazingly. What didn't surprise me though that she had become a medic it seemed something typical for her. But overall I was quite impressed by how she had improved she was definitely not the helpless little girl anymore.

In the evening when we were going to bed she was in bed earlier than I was I walked into her room to wish her goodnight, I knelt down next to her:

"I must say you already look a lot better than before, but I just came to wish you goodnight"

I smiled and was about to get up when I heard her mumbling but I couldn't understand what she was saying, so I knelt down.

"Could you repeat that?"

"I was asking if you could stay with me again"

I didn't answer in stead I just lay down next to her and again she crawled into my embrace. She again was quickly off to another dimension but I was still awake, looking at her holding her, after a while she suddenly started to stir, she was mumbling in her sleep and trying to get out of my hold she started to sweat. My hold tightened and I started saying her name asking her to wake up, she started to cry:

"Let me go please! Let me go!"

"Sakura calm down it's me! Wake up Sakura"

Her eyes finally fluttered open she seemed dazed but when she realized where she was she dove in my arms and she buried her head in my chest crying out. I couldn't do anything but hold her and let her calm down and say soothing words to let her relax.
