Last time...
Kurama knocked on the door.
"WHAAAAT?" a voice yelled. "JORGE, IF THAT'S YOU, AND YOU DON'T HAVE MY FILE, SO HELP ME I WILL-"
"It's Kurama." the red-head called.
"Oh. Come on in." the voice replied, in a calmer tone, and the door swung open.
Kurama and Sakura walked in to see…
…A small child with a pacifier and an abnormally large hat, perched on top of the chair behind the desk.
"Awwwwww!" Sakura cooed. "Aren't you cute?" "Cherry blossom-chan…" She ignored Kurama. "What's your name, little guy? I'm Sakura, and we're looking for your Daddy." "Cherry blossom-chan…" "So, little guy, can you tell us where Koenma is?" She turned back to Kurama, who looked like he was trying very hard not to laugh. "Kurama, you didn't mention Koenma had a son-"
"I don't." the baby replied, glaring at her. "Kurama, explain. Immediately."
Kurama hid his smile behind a hand. "Well, you did say you wanted to meet her, Koenma-sama." he answered.
"Hmph." Koenma scowled. "Well, I felt Reikai owed it to you, Sakura-san. Consider it payment for services rendered." He waved a pudgy hand.
And Sasuke stood before her. "Sasuke-kun!" she exclaimed, rushing to hug him. He returned the embrace. "Sakura." Kurama and Koenma both turned away to allow the two some modicum of privacy.
Tears stung her eyes. "I'm sorry we couldn't save you, Sasuke-kun." she whispered.
He smiled down at her. "It's alright, Sakura. By all accounts, I didn't deserve saving. But…you…and Naruto…you never gave up on me, never gave up hope. You kept trying, despite everything I did. So…thank you."
She sniffed. "You have to go…don't you?" He brushed her hair out of her face. "I do. Don't worry, I'm not going to Hell for all eternity. Just one of the Penance realms, for a little while. Then…" He looked at her, joy in his eyes. "I'm going to see my family again, Sakura." He began to fade. "Thank you, Sakura." He kissed her forehead. "Have a wonderful life…"
And then, he was gone. For good, this time.
Right, so review, and tell me what you all think. Be brutally honest. And I know Sasuke was OOC, but honestly? The broody, angst-ridden anti-hero kind of sucks...unless it's Hiei. In my humble opinion, anyway.
Goth Lolita, out.
