Sasuke's POV
"Hey Toa, you ready for some breakfast, Have some bacon for you."
"Vee,"
"We need to meet up with the dope and call Saku, you'll be able to say hi to your sister, so let's hurry."
"Evee, vee."
"Sasuke honey your already up, I wanted to make you breakfast before you go."
"Don't worry mom, i'm just going to pick up my starter then i'll be back to say goodbye."
"I know, I can't believe Naruto and you are starting your journey together, you both must be so excited."
"I am, but I wish Sakura was with us too, we were suppose to journey together."
"I know, but you will meet up one day just have faith, and aren't you guys going to face time each other anyways?"
"Yea, how do I look, I need to be cooler than the dope."
"SASUKE"
"Sorry mom I mean Naruto."
"The navy blue leather jacket goes wonderful with your white jeans and black T-shirt."
"Thanks, I'm taking off now see you later mom and tell Itachi that I need him there to say goodbye."
"Of course sweety have fun."
I walked out the door with Toa following me and I walked to the meet up point where I knew I was going to have to wait for the slow idiot. I know he's my best friend, but I can't help but enjoy getting him annoyed, even when he does the same to me. Sakura was our mediator, she kept us from actually doing serious damage to one another. Thinking about Sakura brought me to a memory I wish didn't happen, it was the time of Sakura leaving for Suna with Sasori.
Flashback
I got a call from Sakura who wanted to meet up with Naruto and me. She sounded so sad on the phone and with all the sniffling I heard she had been crying. I didn't want to blow anything out of proportion, but I knew whoever made her cry Naruto and me were going to handle it. I finally got to our park where we first met and saw swinging slowly with her hair covering her face and I just sat next to her waiting for her to say something. She kept quiet so I decided to wait and ten minutes later Naruto came running then stopped in front of her hands on his knees panting heavily.
"Okay who's ass do I have to kick, tell me Sakura and they won't know what's coming to them."
"Dope, shut up and wait for her to talk."
"But teme someone made our Sakura cry."
"I know," I told him frustrated.
"I need to let you both know something and I don't know how you will react," she told us quietly.
"What is it?" I asked.
"My mom and dad have been missing for a week now, they were supposed to be home last week, but they never showed up or called us letting Sasori and me know where they are."
"What?!" I asked shocked while Sakura started crying again.
"I'll find your parents for you Sakura so don't cry," Naruto told her.
"You don't understand, they were last seen in Suna and all their things were still at their hotel except them."
"You don't think…" I asked her and she just slowly put her head back down and continue to cry.
"Oh Sakura," Naruto said to her before pulling her into his embrace and I soon joined and let her cry it out.
"There's more I need to tell you."
"What is it?" I asked her.
"Sasori is a detective you know this right?"
"Of course the temes brother works with him why?"
"Well he is going to take the case and try to find out what happened to our parents."
"That's great with our brothers on the case, they will find them in know time at all."
"That's just it Sasuke, Itachi isn't going to be part of the investigation."
"Why?"
"To find out what happen he will have to go to Suna and do the investigating there."
"Sakura what about you, where will you stay?" Naruto asked and I was curious as well.
"I'm going to be moving to Suna with Sasori until he finds out what exactly happened."
After she finished that sentence we all got quiet, I started imagining Sakura not being here and I couldn't even imagine her not being here with us. Naruto was unusually quiet and it started to worry me before he fell to his knees and pulled Sakura's chin up so she was looking at him.
"Don't go you can stay with my parents and me or you can stay at Sasuke's, just don't leave."
"Naruto I want to stay believe me but," she was cut off by Naruto again who wouldn't except her answer.
"Sakura, just stay help me out here Sasuke."
"Sakura you know my parents like you and would be happy to have you stay with us."
"See."
"I don't want to be a bother and I can't leave Sasori alone please understand."
"Sakura what about all of our plans?" Naruto asked once again.
"I want it to happen, but i'm not changing my mind, we're leaving in three days."
"WHAT THREE DAYS!" we both yelled out making Sakura jump, but at least she stopped crying.
"Yea, when the case is closed and we find out what happened to our parents we will move back here, so maybe I'll be back in time to start our journey together."
"You promise?" Naruto asked.
"I can't promise anything, but I will try damn hard to come back to you both quick."
"Sakura," I said her name softly and she gave me a sad smile.
End of Flashback
I managed to get to the park when my phone started to ring and saw it was Sakura so I answered and saw her face pop on my phone screen. We talked and naruto of course came to the meet up late and we all talked some more before walking to our pokemon labs. Naruto and I got to ours first, but we didn't enter until Sakura got to hers too and we all walked in at the same time still on face chat.
"Hello Sasuke and Naruto it has been awhile," Iruka said to them.
"Don't forget Sakura," Naruto told him.
"Hello Sakura and Professor Tsunade."
"Hello Iruka, Sasuke and brat."
"Granny."
"I told you not to call me that, don't make me come over there and beat those birthmarks off your face."
"Hahaha," I laughed at him while sakura giggled and iruka just sighed.
"Anyways Naruto said there was a surprise for us," Sakura told Tsunade and iruka to get back on track."
"Right well Iruka and I thought since your all so close that we should gift you something special, rare pokemon starters for you all."
"Really granny."
"Call me that again and you won't get one," she all but growled out. That shut up Naruto real quick and sakura and i just sighed at his antics.
"He will never learn," Sakura said over the video chat.
"Hn," I agreed.
"Why is everyone mean to me," Naruto cried out.
"Naruto do you want your starters or not," iruka asked him and naruto started bouncing up and down in excitement.
"Now these pokemon came from the Whirlpool Islands, where your mother kushina came from Naruto," tsunade explained.
"Really so cool."
"What are these pokemon?" I asked.
"You'll find out," Iruka finished off before moving to two tables each with three pokeballs on it. I looked over at my phone and saw Tsunade lead Sakura to a similar table.
"Now here is what's going to happen," the Professors said simultaneously.
"The pokemon you see in front of you are all the same for each of you, Naruto stand in front of one table and Sasuke do the same," Iruka continued.
"Now each of you have three pokemon to choose from, we won't tell you which pokemon is in which pokeball so you will have to choose blindly," Tsunade finished Iruka's sentence.
"Really?" Sakura asked.
"This is the fun part, just choose a pokeball and see what pokemon you all will get.
I looked next to me to see Naruto staring at my phone screen, Sakura was staring back at us and we all nodded together.
"On the count of three," I told them and they nodded in return.
"One, two, three," I said and we all picked a pokeball at the same time and then stared at each other again smiling before the Professors demanded our attention again.
"Now let us see who you picked," they said and we all let our mystery pokemon out of the pokeball.
