Chapter 4
(a/n: Oh! I forgot , Naruto and the others stayed overnight at the usual spot. Let's say they asked permission from their sensei.)
Next morning…
While walking towards the meeting place, Naruto and Sakura argued about the words Kakashi said last night.
Recap:
"Then it's settled, we will meet here first thing tommorow, let's say 5:30 am, even I'll be here on time."
End of recap"I tell you, Naruto, there is no way Kakashi-sensei will be here on time" urged Sakura
"I would like to agree with you but, I trust Kakashi-sensei, I know he'll be here on time" urged back Naruto
Roxas looked at Sasuke with a very curious look on his face and then asked, "Do they always do that?"
Sasuke smirked back at Roxas and said, "Hell yeah, they always do that! I am getting sick of hearing it everyday!", earning an angry look on Naruto and Sakura, "What did you say?!!" Naruto and Sakura stomped their way to Sasuke and got ready to clobber him. Sasuke just smirked.
"Just let them be" Sasuke used the replacement technique to get away from Sakura and Naruto's wrath, "It'll take them a while to realize that I am not there anymore!"
While getting near the meeting place they saw a tall man with silver, spiked up hair, holding an orange book it was no other than Kakashi.
"You're late!" Kakashi looked at his team to see a smirking Sasuke, a shocked Sakura, a grinning Naruto, and a smiling Hinata. "Sakura, Why are you looking very shocked?"
'This is a dream, really, just a dream!' everything went black.
Sakura was caught by a raven-haired boy. Putting his strength on her head and body to avoid any injuries.
"Sakura-san!" Naruto ran towards Sakura, with a worried look on his face "Wake up, Sakura-san, wake up!"
Sasuke just smirked and put her on his back, "Don't worry about her, she'll be fine!"
Kakashi walked towards Naruto and asked him, "Anyway, why was Sakura looking shocked when she saw me?"
"Well, we started arguing about what you said last night that you will come here on time…" Naruto started, and scratched the back of his head, "Well, she said that it's impossible that you will come here early, so we began arguing about it, so when we got here she couldn't believe what she was seeing and all that jazz."
"Oh! Is that it?" Kakashi just scratched his head and smiled making his uncovered eye close
Iruka then spoke up, "Kakashi, don't you think we've wasted enough time talking out here?"
"Oh! Right! Well, let's go!" Kakashi agreed
The group was walking for three long hours, when Sakura woke up
"Mou!' Sakura moaned making Sasuke's attention turn towards her "Well, well, well! Sleeping Beauty finally woke up!" Sakura whacked his arm earning a very loud "ow" from Sasuke, "Shut up! How long was I out?", Sasuke then smirked and said, "For a good three hours." Sakura then said to Sasuke "You can put me down now Sasuke, I think I can manage!" Half of Sasuke didn't want to put her down but he soon decided to put her down.
"Oh man! I'm getting old!" said Sasuke, holding his now aching back.
(Oops! I made Sasuke look old!)
"That's right, old man!" Sakura said teasing him
"Whoa! You are older than me for how many months? Three months? I just turned sixteen last month! Then that makes you an old woman!" Sasuke said teasing back
Sakura got annoyed when she heard two certain words, "What did you call me, chicken hair?!!"
"Oh! You want me to repeat it, wide forehead nerd?" said Sasuke, looking very pissed off
"What do you mean by that?" asked Sakura, with tears forming in her eyes
"Whoa! This is the treatment I get after catching you when you fainted?!" yelled Sasuke
"FIRST OF ALL, I DIDN'T ASK TO BE CAUGHT BY YOU AND SECOND, I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!" yelled back Sakura
"OH YEAH, RIGHT! BUT YOU FAINTED GOD DAMNED IT! WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO JUST STAY THERE AND DO NOTHING?!" yelled back Sasuke
"BUT I DIDN'T ASK TO BE CAUGHT BY YOU, MAYBE ROXAS OR SORA OR NARUTO CAN CATCH ME BUT I DIDN'T ASK TO BE CAUGHT BY YOU!" yelled Sakura with tears running down her cheeks
"WELL I'M SORRY IF …" Sasuke wasn't able to finish his sentence when Sakura slapped him. "What the hell is wrong with you, Haruno?"
"You are, that's what's wrong, ever since the academy you always ignore me or when the time you talk to me you always find ways to make me feel bad about myself!" reasoned Sakura
Sakura ran off the forest, crying. Sasuke just stood there, holding the spot where Sakura slapped him.
'oh shit! What have I done?!' Sasuke thought for himself 'should I go after her or not?!'
Sasuke's mind was full of questions when Naruto spoke up, "oi, teme, what are you waiting for, go after her, only you can make peace with her after all you were the one who started it" Sasuke just nodded and took off without any sound.
Sasuke jumped from treetop to treetop, scanning the forest for the pink-haired kunoichi. "Sakura, where are you?" shouted Sasuke, worry can be seen from Sasuke's face. Sasuke jumped down the tree and began running on the forest floor.
Sasuke worried more when he found the pink-haired kunoichi standing at the cliff, with blood flowing down her arm.
"Sakura?"
"…"
"Sakura?"
"WHAT!"
"Sakura, you're hurt! Let me take a look at that" Sasuke was about to hold her arm when Sakura shrugged it
"NO! Don't touch it!" said Sakura coldly
"L-look I'm sorry for what happened earlier, I just lost my temper. I didn't mean those words that I said to you. C'mon you know how much I love you, I love you more than anything in this world. So, will you forgive me?"
After hearing this, Sakura looked a him and smiled "I-I forgive you, Sasuke"
"Good! Now let me take a look at that. What happened to you?" asked Sasuke
"When I ran all the way here, I didn't notice that a branch was sticking out and my arm hit it really hard." Said Sakura almost crying from the pain she is receiving from her wound
"Well, it's pretty deep" said Sasuke pulling out some bandages from his pouch.
"Ow! Not so tight, Sasuke-kun!" pleaded Sakura
"I need to do it, Sakura, it should stop the bleeding! You don't want to die do you?" smirked Sasuke
Sakura nodded and smiled, "Arigato, Sasuke-kun"
Sasuke and Sakura, walked out the forest hand in hand, to find Kakashi and the others waiting for them to come back.
Kakashi didn't take his eyes off the book and just said, "Well, it's about time you got here, we still have a long way to go."
Sakura had her free hand rub the back of her head, "Gomen nasai, for waiting for us to come back, it's my fault."
"Never mind that! What's important is that you came back safe." Said Kakashi
Hinata couldn't help but notice the bandage wrapped in Sakura's arm, "Sakura-san, what happened to your arm?"
Sakura just grinned, "Long story, I'll explain to you later."
Yeah, I know it sucks! No need to tell me that. I am really having a writer's block here but I already have a plan on how to end this.
So just send me a review so I can know how to improve this
