Just For You
Chapter Seven- Something Different and New Plans
Sakura sat on the ground crying, with her face in her hands. A man stood over her, holding her hair roughly. He took out a kunai from his pocket and held it against Sakura's throat. He looked up and grinned menacingly. A scream could be heard and blood splattered on the ground.
Sasuke sat up in his bed, drenched in sweat. He felt his surroundings quickly and allowed his eyes to re-adjust to the light. The sun was rising steadily.
'It was… Just a dream,' Sasuke thought in relief. 'Why did I have that dream?' He thought to himself questioningly. He looked out his window and sighed. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed and looked at the time. 'Still early,' he got up from his bed and decided to get ready. Sasuke walked out of his house and started towards the training area.
Sakura woke up earlier than usual, and decided to leave for training at that time.
'If I leave now, he won't do anything… From now on, I'm going to be more careful.' Sakura got ready quickly and ran down the stairs quietly. She opened the door and closed it, locking it behind her. She began walking to the seventh training area, with her hand lingering over her kunai pouch.
Sakura had reached the training area to find that Sasuke was already there. She decided to sit down for a while and enjoy the birds' melodies and the soft breeze. Sasuke ran up the tree and jumped off it half-way up, making a back-flip in the air and landing nicely with both his feet rooted in the ground and his knees bent. He looked back to see Sakura sitting down, looking at the clouds passing by.
'I guess I understand why Shikamaru's always looking at them, it's relaxing,' Sakura thought while closing her eyes. She began humming quietly. Sasuke found himself staring at Sakura for quite some time, and decided to check on her.
"Sakura"
Sakura's eyes snapped open and she fell backwards off the log she was sitting on. She looked up to see a smirking Sasuke. She glared at him slightly.
"Was that necessary?!"
Sasuke found himself chuckling, and Sakura giggled lightly as she got back up. She dusted herself off and crossed her arms across her chest. Sasuke immediately stopped chuckling and regained his composure.
"Well, now you owe me," she said, her eyes twinkling slightly. Sasuke looked at her, slightly raising an eyebrow.
"Mind if I train with you?"
Sasuke smirked.
"Hn," he replied, turning around and walking back to where he was previously training. Sakura smiled and followed him quietly.
Amaya knocked on Tsunade's office doors lightly. Tsunade looked up from her work and smiled.
"Come in, have a seat," Tsunade said, motioning to the seat in front of her desk. Amaya nodded and took a seat. Tsunade looked at her curiously.
"What can I do for you?" she asked, signing a few papers and setting them to the side. Amaya hesitated.
"Hokage-Sama, I was wondering if maybe I could…speak to Uzamaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuuga Neji and Hyuuga Hinata. It's no doubt that they would have questions- and I believe Uchiha Sasuke and Uzamaki Naruto have a right to-" Tsunade held up her hand and smiled, letting Amaya stay quiet.
"I've thought about it, and you're absolutely correct," Tsunade began. Amaya nodded slowly. "I've decided to allow the teams that you met to go on a trip, think of it as a gift for their, and your- hard work. Perhaps you could tell them then." Tsunade signed another paper and set it off to the side. Amaya smiled gratefully.
"Thank you, Hokage-Sama. That will be perfectly fine."
Tsunade smiled and Amaya excused herself from the Hokage's office.
Sakura sent a kick to Sasuke's side, which he blocked easily. Sasuke took out four kunai knives and sent them towards Sakura. Sakura moved to the left quickly and sent another kick, this time aiming for his head. Naruto walked up the dirt path and noticed Sasuke and Sakura's fight. He decided to watch them, and cheer his teammates on (though most of the cheering was meant for Sakura). Ten minutes had passed, and Kakashi could be seen walking down the same dirt path which Naruto had previously been on. He took out his favorite book from his pocket and began reading. Kakashi glanced up to see Sasuke and Sakura's fight and smiled under his mask, knowing that his students, all of them, had grown both mentally and physically.
Five minutes after Kakashi's arrival, Sakura and Sasuke were standing across from each other, catching their breath. Sakura seemed to be a little more tired than Sasuke, but they were both tired none-the-less.
"Listen up, everyone. I have an announcement to make," Kakashi said, his voice slightly muffled by his mask. Naruto stood up quickly and began listening intently. Sakura and Sasuke walked up to Kakashi and waited for whatever it was that he was going to say.
"Hokage-Sama has set a trip up for all us, and some of the other teams as well. Think of it as a gift for a job well done," Kakashi spoke, looking at everyone's reactions.
"When will we be going?" Sakura asked, with growing interest. Kakashi tried to remember what Amaya had told him about this trip.
"Ah… Tomorrow," he said sheepishly. Everyone looked at him, annoyed.
"Why didn't you tell us sooner?!" Naruto asked angrily. Kakashi shrugged slightly.
"It slipped my mind."
'He's late when it comes to meeting us and giving announcements!' Sakura thought angrily.
Sasuke remained quiet, but crossed his arms and glared at Kakashi slightly. Kakashi took out his book and continued reading it again as if nothing happened. He began walking away and waved to his students.
"See you all, tomorrow! We're meeting here and leaving at one pm," Kakashi added. Everyone looked at Kakashi's retreating figure and glared at him.
"Ah well, I'm going to go pack now- Bye Sakura-Chan!" Naruto said happily as he ran off to his home. Sakura sighed and walked over to the tree where her kunai knives had hit from her training with Sasuke. Sasuke did the same and picked up small shuriken from the ground.
"Ne, Sasuke-Kun," Sakura began quietly. Sasuke raised his head slightly to show that he was listening while picking up his kunai knives. Sakura sighed slightly and smiled.
"Thank you, again," she added, just as quietly. Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"I haven't done anything," he said bluntly, stuffing his kunai knives back into his pouch.
"Never mind," Sakura muttered. She turned and began walking home.
"See you tomorrow, Sasuke-Kun," she said turning around waving at him. He nodded slightly, and walked the opposite way to his house. He stopped walking for a moment and turned around; he looked at Sakura who had her hands behind her. Once again, Sakura began humming quietly; not thinking of what was waiting for her at home, or who was thinking of her at this moment. She thought about one person, Sasuke-Kun.
