Naruto and all characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto.
Sakura welcomed the refreshing breeze that caressed her face as she meditated atop a grassy knoll. Geez…what a bastard…coming onto me like that… Suddenly her senses sharpened as she heard a twig snap behind her. Instantly, she was on her feet, kunai in hand.
"Whoa, whoa, Sakura-chan! Just wanted to chat, is all…no need to stab poor Naruto in the neck, now…"
Sakura giggled. She plopped down on her butt and laid down on her back to stare at the clouds. Naruto always knew how to cheer her up.
"Ah, Naruto-kun… what do you need?"
Her eyes were closed, all senses taking in the essence of fall, but she still heard Naruto lie down beside her.
"Sakura-chan…"
Sakura didn't like the tone of Naruto's voice. It was too serious. It didn't suit him.
"Sakura-chan, I know how you feel, with Sasuke coming back so suddenly and all. I'm also aware of the feelings you're trying so hard not to come to terms with."
Sakura's eyes snapped open.
Her heart stopped.
What did he know? He had been hated his whole life...he knew nothing about the complicity of love...
"I just wanted to tell you, Sakura, that no matter how out of control your emotions get…don't do anything you'll regret. If something happened to you, if he did anything to you…I would never forgive him. Or you."
And with that, he got up and left, leaving Sakura lying down on a hill.
She closed her eyes again, and shuddered as a single, icy tear ran down her cheek.
It had been two weeks since her talk with Naruto on the hill. And she hadn't seen or heard anything of Sasuke for two weeks, either.
Sakura supposed that Tsunade was doing her best to keep Sasuke's return a complete secret from Konoha. She guessed it was for Sasuke's well being as much as the village's; if the villagers discovered him, they would certainly try to kill him. And Sasuke, of course, would kill them all for attacking him.
After all, it was just his way.
Sakura was currently on leave. She had gotten sick for some reason after the little conversation with Naruto on her meditation hill. As of today, she still had not recovered.
She heard a knock on her door and groggily pulled back the covers to answer it. Making her way to the door, she tried to fix her hair a bit and brush the wrinkles out of her clothes as best she could. She finally arrived at her doorway and turned the knob to open it.
And was shaken completely awake by her conscience as she did so.
Standing in her doorway was Sasuke, the person she least wanted to see when she was sick.
"Um… What do you want?"
He just stared down at her with no emotion, as usual.
"Uh… Sasuke?"
She sidestepped as he brushed by her to come in. Quite unannounced, I might add. Sakura just stared at him, not really wanting to take the trouble to make him leave.
She observed as he walked into her kitchen and took what he needed to make a sufficient breakfast for the day. She also stood there when he took off his shirt and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
"Uh, what exactly are you doing? This is kind of my house."
He turned and glared at her.
"Does it look like I have a choice? The Uchiha complex was destroyed after I left. They built some other shit there. I'm also being forced to only associate with the Hokage, Kakashi, some asshole pervert named Jiraiya, and Team 7 members. Naruto slammed the door in my face and cussed me out for "coming on to you", so I had no other choice. Kakashi's on a mission."
And with that, he was gone. Sakura just prayed that he wouldn't use all the hot water.
