So here's the second chapter you've all been waiting for! Thanks tehbeastxx, Ferni-Chan and delfina1987 for reviewing :) this chapter is dedicated to you guys ^_^ Anyway enjoy...
A stream of light entered the room. Sasuke opened his eyes and found himself lying on a bed. He looked around and realized he was in a broken hut of some sort. He cringed when he tried to sit up. His entire body was aching. He heard someone gasp. He turned to his side and saw a pink haired woman was standing at the door. He couldn't see her face properly due to the light.
"Pink hair? Is it Sakura? But what is she doing here?" Sasuke thought as she came closer.
"You shouldn't try to sit up Sasuke." Sakura said as she gently pushed him down on the bed.
"I'm fine. It's nothing." He grunted.
"So it is Sakura..."
"No you're not fine. You've been unconscious for two days." She raised her voice.
"Two days?" Sasuke thought surprised.
"Where are we? And why are you helping me?" He asked and he finally gave up on sitting up.
"We're in an old run down hut. I found you unconscious after your battle with Danzou and brought you here." Sakura said not looking at him.
"You didn't answer my question. Why are you helping me?" He raised a brow at her.
"...I...I want you to take me with you...I want to help you...I want to be by your side Sasuke...I have already left Konoha." She said fighting the tears that were threatening to fall.
Sasuke stayed silent for a while. He was thinking whether he should let her join. His team had fallen apart and he had killed one of his teammates himself. Sakura was strong, she had trained under the 5th Hokage and she is also an expert medic, it was rare. But he still had to be careful. It could be a trap by Konoha. But in this condition he couldn't do much but trust her.
"Fine. You can come. But remember if this is a trap I will not hesitate to kill you." His voice was cold, harsh and uncaring.
"It's no trap. You can trust me Sasuke." She gave him a small smile.
"Anyway it's time for your medicine. I managed to make it by gathering some herbs nearby." She grabbed a cup with green liquid and held it in front of Sasuke.
"I don't need any medicine. Just looking at it makes me sick." He glared at the liquid as if his glare would make it disappear.
"Come on Sasuke. We need to leave this place soon otherwise the Konoha shinobi could find us. We can't leave if you're in such a state." She held the cup to his mouth and he unwillingly drank the disgusting liquid.
Sasuke stared at her for a while. Sakura blushed at his intense stare.
"Wha...what are you looking at?" She looked away from him. He pointed to her Konoha headband she was wearing.
"If you want to come with me then you must have a scar on your forehead protector."
Sakura took off her protector and took out a kunai from her patch. She hesitatingly raised the kunai and slashed her forehead protector. A scar now ran through the Konoha symbol. She was truly a missing nin now. She put the protector back on and looked at him.
"Done." She said.
He only nodded in response.
"So you've been taking care of me all this time?" He asked looking the other way.
"Well...yeah..." She whispered.
Sasuke didn't say anything but something inside him told him that he should thank her. He chose to ignore it.
"Anyway Sasuke since you're awake now I can heal you quicker because the flow of your chakra is back to normal." She took his shirt off and put her hands on his chest. Green chakra started to glow.
Sasuke could feel the pain leaving his body. Her hands were soft and warm on his chest. It was soothing. He closed his eyes being comfortable with the warmth. Slowly he drifted off to sleep. They would have to move out tomorrow.
Meanwhile with the Konoha Shinobi...
The Konoha shinobi had returned to their village. Neither of them was happy. They were heading towards the village. They started walking when the gates were in sight. Naruto looked down as Kakashi walked beside him. Lee, Kiba, Sai and Yamato were behind them. Kakashi put a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"I'm sure Sakura knows what she's doing Naruto. Besides, it was her choice there was nothing we could have done." He whispered to his student.
"I know Kakashi-sensei...but first Sasuke and now Sakura-chan...I couldn't save any of them..." He clenched his fist as they entered the village.
After entering the village the Ninjas separated. Yamato & Kakashi went to talk to the elders about Danzou's death. An Anbu Root squad had already been sent. The good news was that Tsunade, the fifth Hokage had woken up from her comma. It was decided that she shall once again take the position of Hokage. Tsunade wasted no time hearing about Sakura's disappearance. She called a meeting in her room with the shinobi who were with Sakura when she disappeared.
"Listen up everyone. It's not like Sakura to take such drastic actions. I'm sure she knows what she's doing. So, I've decided that we will leave this to her." Tsunade said. Even though she was very worried about her student. She had thought about this a lot and there was also a chance if she sent a squad after her Sasuke might think it's a trap and hurt her." She knew as strong as Sakura was, she was no match for an Uchiha's Sharingan.
"But Granny! We can't leave Sakura-chan just like that!" Naruto protested.
"DON'T YOU THINK I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS NARUTO?" Tsunade yelled smashing her hands on her table and breaking it in the process.
"What if Sasuke sees you and thinks it's a trap? He might kill Sakura for that! Did you ever think about that?" She spoke calming down a little.
Naruto didn't say anything and just looked down.
"Hokage-sama is right Naruto. We just have to believe in Sakura." Yamato said, from behind him.
Naruto bit his lower lip and clenched his fists.
"Sasuke...Sakura-chan...I'm sorry..." He left the room without saying another word leaving the others staring at the door behind him.
