Gomenasai Sasuke-kun

Chapter One:

Memories unleashed

-----

"Sakura." Someone called using his deep glorious voice that can make any girls melt by just hearing it. Sakura jerked her head to look at Sasuke with surprised and curious face, him leaning beside her door frame looking rather pissed. It's something about the way he looked at them that made Sakura to feel awkward and… nervous. She released Sai from her hug as she laughed weakly, trying to lessen the tension in the air, while scratching her chin as she tries to fix her ruffled hair.

"Oh, Ohayou Sasuke." She greeted him as a sweat rolled down her smooth face. Sasuke looked at her blankly as he turned his gaze to her side to see Sai smiling at him, fake.

"Come on Sai." He called; his face was emotionless as he turned his back at them. Sai followed soon after he gave Sakura a reassuring smile.

Sakura smiled weakly in return as she looked at Sasuke quite puzzled. "Was it me or Sasuke really looked angry?" She thought as she tilted her head to have a better view on Sasuke's retreating form by her window.

"Was he jealous to see me hugging Sai?" She wondered as she stares at her ceiling as if getting an answer into it, then after a second, she laughed loudly but with a hint of… sadness. "Like that would be possible." She added as she smiled sadly.

She sighed as she headed for her bathroom to fix herself. "Maybe it's just me."

------

Naruto yawned as he waited for his team to arrive at the bridge. He had been waiting for about a half an hour there and he could not see anyone coming yet. "How odd." He wondered aloud as he blinked twice while scratching his head. "Teme usually arrives first." He continued like he was talking to someone invisible that no one can see only him. He leaned at the bridge, his elbows supporting his body as he stares at the water below sleepily.

"I forgot that I left him there…"

"…I'm screwed." He murmured as he yawned again, remembering the incident at Sakura's house. He wanted to have an advice from her how to win Hinata's heart and how and what kind of date he would arrange for her, he also dragged Sasuke with him there too, unwillingly.

He didn't know that Sai was there too, maybe at this time, those two are scarying the shit out of Sakura-chan. He knows since that the first meeting of team seven and Sasuke, Sasuke doesn't like Sai for his replacement and –even if he never admits it— the replacement of Sakura's heart.

–Flash Back—

Naruto runs clumsily as he headed for the door, leaving wet traces for he broke Sakura's vase. He passed by at Sai as he glances at him, puzzled but ignores it in the mean time.


"Sai? What's he doing here?" He thought as he headed outside.

"Who cares?"

–End Of Flash Back—

He scratched his head, he never thinks about things this long. Actually, he hated thinking, it makes him go insane. He just goes and sauntered forward not actually planning on anything, that's why he always gets bitten up. –especially by Sakura-chan of course—

He felt a light chakra not far away as he glanced at the figures approaching him. He stares at them sleepily but a little puzzled to why the two foes were together. "How odd." He murmured again, taking a seat on the ground. "Weird things are happening so lately." –yep, like last night where Sasuke kissed Sakura was expected not to happen— it makes Sakura to be frightened at his sudden move like he is being possessed or something.

---------------

Sasuke walked ahead with blank and emotionless face while he kept his hands inside of his pockets. His eyebrows were glued together with annoyance as he tried hard not to look at Sai's direction.

He was pissed and he doesn't know what the reason is. Just looking at the guy behind him makes his blood boil –even without any reason— he cursed silently as he looked at Naruto's orange form.

He was staring at them boringly as he yawns. It was Naruto's fault. Screw him. He growled when he heard Sai call his name.

"…Sasuke-san." He called using his oh–so-respectively-gayish-voice. God, it pisses him off. Sasuke stopped dead at his tracks as he closed his eyes, calming himself.

"What." He asked irritably.

Sai smirked as he walk pass him.

"You're pathetic." He said full of confident before he disappeared in Sasuke's eyes. Sasuke raised his eyebrows in an annoyed and angry one. "Pathetic?" He repeated as he gritted his teeth. "Dickhead." He murmured darkly as he continued to walk, seeing that Sai was already there. "I'll let you pass this time."

"Sai." Naruto acknowledged him, nodding at his direction. Sai smiled in return.

Naruto moved his eyes at Sasuke's direction to see his angry form with dark purple chakra surrounding him. He gulped as he stood up while dusting his clothes. Sai smirked as he jumped in the trees, resting at one of the branch as he putted his arms at the back of his head, taking a nap. "Good luck Naruto."

------

Sakura hurriedly ran her comb to her hair as she putted her clothes while she bit her forehead protector. She was late, and she knew Kakashi was too. She immediately putted her headband at her hair as she grabbed her weapon and putted it in her pouch, and then dashed out of her apartment.

She jumped roof to roof as she pumps some chakra to her feet to make her actions faster to reach at the bridge. She was never late. She swear if she's late, Kakashi would scold her –heck he was the one that should be scolded—

"Darn it." She cursed as she moved faster, finally arriving at her destination as she headed at her other teammates, greeting them.

She stopped, noticing something. She looked at them with an annoyed gaze as she tries hard not to yell at them to stop bickering at each other. Sasuke was beating Naruto up while Sai watches them amusingly. Her eyes started to fire as she continued heading towards them.

"What the hell is happening here?" She asked dangerously scary, making the guys flinch. Sasuke recovered soon as he glared at her. "None of your business." Ouch. Sakura glared harder at him as she scowled. She moved her eyes to Naruto who gulped as he tries to hide himself at the back of the tree, in his 'chibi form' "How cute!" She thought. "But I'm mad at him." She went towards him as she bonked him in the head.

"Ow, Sakura-chan. What was that for?" He asked with teary wide eyes.

Sakura smirked as she glanced up to see Sai resting on one of the trees. "Sai." She mouthed. She doubts that she has feelings for this guy, she knew that her heart belongs only to one guy and she knows exactly who it was. Why exactly was her heart pounding when he sees Sai? What's the reason for her heart to jump like the way it jumped for Sasuke? She shook her head as she tries to clear her mind. No. Sasuke was the one I like, not Sai.

Sakura plopped down on the ground as she closed her eyes. But, what happened yesterday night was disturbing. He kissed my forehead which was very scary for him to do I mean, yeah, I dreamed about that long ago when I was a mere fangirl but, what's happening lately was… stupid or I'll say… strange?

"Yoh." That simple word er, greeting broke Sakura's thoughts away.

"You're great sensei has arrived." Kakashi announced with a hint of sarcasm while reading that porn book of his. The guys can't help but to roll their eyes. Sakura tilted her head to her side.

"Kakashi-sensei?" she called.

"Hmm?"

"What's our mission the Hokage gave us?" She questioned as she bats her eyelashes cutely, earning the guys attention. Ahem. Including Sasuke.

"…and when would we start the mission?" Naruto whined as he putted his arms behind his back. Kakashi turned to look at him as he nodded at his direction.

"Team, follow me." He announced as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, his four students followed soon, after they nodded at each others.

They jumped trees to trees once they were out of the boundaries of konoha. Kakashi would usually glance at his surroundings, inspecting them like the way how Sasuke move his head side by side, his guard automatically alert.

Naruto kept serious as he tries to focus at his front, thinking about their mission while Sakura tries to be alert and be ready if there's a sudden attack. Sai simply smiles.

"We're heading south for a better and safer place, we'll take that road." Kakashi pointed his hands towards south as he look at them one by one, making sure they'll understand their situation, especially towards Naruto who only glanced at him clueless.

"Sensei, I think we should have head east." Sakura suggested unsure, her pointing finger under her chin as a gesture of thinking, cutely. Kakashi raised one of his eyebrows.

"And why is that?" He asked her. Sasuke walk towards one of the tree of the forest as he touched it with his fingers, inspecting it. He slid his finger to it's trunk as a color of blood red visible to his hands. "Paint?" He asked to himself. "No. Blood." He stated then faced his other companions.

"We shouldn't have taken this road." Sasuke announced, seriously, surely. Sai nodded in agreement while Naruto starts to understand. Kakashi knitted his eyebrows together as he observes his surroundings carefully. "They're right, we had been spotted." Sakura closed her eyes, focusing on the sounds around her, trying to identify the sound of the movements that swallows the forest.

Chirp. Rustle. Chirp. Rustle. Winds. Footsteps. Click! Swoosh!

"Duck" Sakura yelled as shurikens and kunais flew through the air, attacking them. They all pulled their selves down, avoiding the attack. Sasuke cursed. Sai glared at the bushes where the attack was from. Naruto yelled furiously. "What the hell?"

"Prepare to battle." Kakashi ordered as his team obeyed him.

Sound nins appeared everywhere, surrounding team 7.

==== PRESENT ====

"It's been a long time since that day happened…" She murmured as she smiles, putting her baby back down in the crib then went to take a sit.

"Come on now…show yourself." She said as a figure appeared behind the shadows, making her smile.

"Oh…hello Naruto." She giggled as she stood up. The said man smiled under his anbu mask as he bowed to her.

"Hokage-sama…" he called. Sakura frowns, she never wanted to be greeted by Naruto like that, she wishes that he'll treat her just like the way team 7 still exist, but seeming that the elders had ordered Naruto to treat her like that…she has nothing to do but nod.

"We had spotted Sasuke near the gates and is currently fighting our jounins and anbus…"He continued. Sakura knitted her eyebrows together and glanced to her baby. "...He's with Orochimaru." he added.

"Call all the ninjas that are in good state and prepare for a battle…or a war if that's what they want." She told him sadly as she grabbed her things, Naruto watched her silently. Sakura stopped and looked towards Naruto who were still standing there and unmoved.

"Naruto, haven't you heard what I just said?" Sakura asked as she putted her gloves. Naruto shook his head.

"I won't allow you to fight Hokage-sama." He informed hardly.

"Naruto, as your Hokage— I order you to back off and do your job!" She yelled as she walked towards her door, her long gown flies with the little wind that surrounds the room. Naruto glanced towards her little child and went near her.

"You'll be safe…little ninja."He whispered as he brought the baby up in his arms and disappeared.

==== PAST ====

"Hey Sasuke-kun…you alright?" a beaten Sakura crawled towards a bloody Sasuke as she gritted her teeth from the pain. Sasuke looked at her as he nodded and leaned to a tree.

"I'm alright…where are the others?" He asked as he closed his eyes, taking in the pain as his broken arm continued to bleed. Sakura bit her lip as she closed her eyes tight as if preventing from crying.

"I don't know…" She responded sadly. Sasuke opened his eyes to look at Sakura. She's bloody, her pink hair is now covered from her blood as well as her dress and she's… shivering.

"Sakura…" He called. Sakura jerked her head to look at Sasuke, curious to why he had called her.

"…come here." He ordered as he looked at her intently. Sakura nodded as she crawled again, finally reaching towards him. She raised her eyebrows to him, asking why.

Sasuke lift his arms and putted it towards Sakura's injury on her stomach as he pumps some of his left chakra and tries to heal her. Sakura widened her eyes and back away a little.

"N-no Sasuke-kun…" She told him as she covered her stomach by her hand. Sasuke gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"I'm healing you Sakura, you needed to be healed immediately!" he yelled. Sakura shook her head. "You still need your chakra Sasuke-kun." She insists.

"Don't be stubborn, I'm just trying to help you—"

"Then help me by saving your energy…I can handle myself." She cuts him off in the middle of his sentence. She fixed her dress as she stood up clumsily. Sasuke eyed him and he too, stood up by the support of the tree.

"Let's find Naruto and the others...they might need our help." She said as she spitted the blood from her mouth. Sasuke nodded as he went at the side of Sakura and held her elbow.

Sakura raised her eyebrows at this.

"What?" She asked. Sasuke "hn'ed" then lifted her up bridal style. Sakura screamed surprisingly.

"W-what are you d-doing?" She stuttered as she blushes, waiting for Sasuke's reply as she struggles violently.

"Uhg. Stop moving, you're worsening my injuries." He told her irritatedly. Sakura stopped. She puffed her cheeks cutely then gave up, allowing him to carry her.

"Good." Sasuke said before disappearing.
