Attention:I do not own Naruto or any of Naruto's characters. I'm just a fan creating a version of the story.
Here's a brand new chapter!! Hope you enjoy it
Recap.
Sakura was standing by the window wondering if Sai would really go and didn't notice the strange figure watching her.
Sasuke was wondering if Sakura loved Sai and had already forgotten him. He wanted to use her for bait so he could finally kill Itachi.

Chapter 9
Sai had decided that he would go to Sakura's house. I'm being childish. I already decided that if she accepted him back I wouldn't do anything to change that. After all, I just want her to be happy even if it's with him. And I can be wrong, right? She could just be trying to act like nothings changed. Maybe she just wants to have dinner and watch a movie together like we used to… I will never know if I don't go…
He was walking to the door when he saw something on the floor. It was an old sketchbook. Sai recognized it as he picked it up. It was the sketchbook he used to draw him and his brother. Brother… I hope you okay wherever you are…
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his door.
"Hey cutie" Ino said.
"Look Ino, I can't talk right now. I'm already late for something…" Sai tried not being rude but he really had to go to Sakura's house.
"Whatever it is I suggest you cancel it. Tsunade-sama said that we have to go back and help that village that was attacked. We have to leave now. It seems like they might be attacked again and we have to protect them. At least until the other ninjas gets there." She quickly said.
"Alright… I'll get my things and meet you at Konoha's gates…" he said in a sad tone.
Ino left and Sai got his things. He decided to pass by Sakura's house and explain everything.

Sakura was already giving up. I guess he won't come after all… But she saw Sai getting near the gates and in a blink of an eye she was already opening the gates for him.
"You don't need to do that. I'm not going in." He was avoiding her beautiful eyes.
"What do you mean? Dinner is ready, I made you favorite." She said holding back tears.
"Tsunade wants me and Ino to leave now. Where going to check up on a village nearby and we'll be back in 24 hours." He faked a smile and hoped he would really get back in 24 hours.
"Oh… okay, if it's a mission… Be careful" she then leaned and kissed him. She didn't do that on purpose. Sakura only realized what she had done when he kissed her back.
Sai looked her in the eyes. "You too… be careful". He left her standing there as he ran to the village's gates.
Sakura then felt a pain in her heart. It was like something was going to happen, but she didn't know what. I hope he won't get hurt. I know he won't get hurt. Sai is one of the best ninjas Konoha has. God, take care of him… please let him come back okay… But something inside her told her that she didn't have to worry about Sai because that feeling she had was about something else. Something she could never have guessed.
She went back inside. Seems like another night alone… I miss mom and dad so much… She tried not letting herself cry. Looks like I'll have to eat everything by myself… I'm not hungry though… She sat on the couch. She felt like releasing her tears as she began to think about Sasuke but didn't.
If I stay here I'm going to cry. I better put the food away… She went to the kitchen and put some of the food in the fridge and the rest in the trash. She washed her hands and went up to her room.
Outside the strange figure continued to observe her. She has changed a lot. She's a beautiful woman now. And living all by herself… how convenient. He smirked. Looks like this is going to be easier than I thought.

Sasuke decided to take a walk. It was dark outside and there was almost no one on the streets. He had to clear his head. He had to stop thinking about her. But it didn't matter where he went… memories of his past popped up in his head. There wasn't a single place where he didn't remember something. It all came back to him. The time when he was a student in Konoha's academy for ninjas, the training in the park, team 7, the chuunin exams, the missions, Naruto… Sakura. Sakura… she popped in to his mind again. Sasuke don't be an idiot! Stick to the plan. He shouted inside his own head.
He past by Naruto and Hinata who were eating ramen. They waved and he nodded his head in response. I can't believe it… Naruto is making Hinata eat ramen… Poor girl…

"I'm so glad Sasuke-kun is back." Hinata said.
"Yeah… me … too…" Naruto said with his mouth full.
"How's Sakura doing? It must be hard on her, right? I mean… he left her and said he would never come back and now that she's starting to move on he decides to come back…" Hinata was worried about Sakura. The pink haired girl had been a great friend to her. She was in someway responsible for Hinata and Naruto's relationship passing to this level. Sakura helped Naruto realize his feelings for Hinata and helped Hinata assume her feelings for him. Hinata couldn't imagine what would have happened if Sakura didn't help her and Naruto.
"I never thought about that, at least not in that way. You right Hinata… I got so exited that Sasuke came back that I didn't think about Sakura's feeling. I just wanted to see them two happy and together that I didn't consider everything Sakura's been through. I didn't even consider Sai's feelings…" Naruto looked sad as he said that. He even stopped eating his ramen.
"Don't be sad Naruto. It's not your fault." Hinata tried to cheer him up. "Take me home and get some rest" she smiled. "Tomorrow we will go see Sakura, together!" she kissed him.

Sai and Ino were running to the village they had been earlier. Ino was too quiet. She was usually talking non-stop. Suddenly Sai broke the silence. He didn't like how quiet his comrade was. "What's wrong Ino?"
"Huh? Oh… nothing I'm just tired. We didn't have time to rest…" She lied.
He knew she wasn't being honest but decided not to insist. If she wanted she would have told him. She's probably sad 'cause Shikamaru asked Temari to marry him. Who could believe that one day that would happen? Shikamaru and Temari getting married, that is so unexpected.
They continued almost all the way in silence. It was very awkward but neither of them felt like talking. When they were almost there she spoke. "Did you find out what it is?" she asked.
Sai stopped. "What is what?"
"What love is?" she looked at him. After a little pause she continued talking. "Love is the feeling you have for Sakura…" she forced a smile.
"I don't understand how you can be so sure?" he wasn't understanding why she had brought that up again.
"Earlier when we got back to Konoha I saw it in your eyes. I noticed it in your eyes, you love her." She began running again.
He stood there for a second than followed her. He was still in shock and her words wouldn't get out of his head… Love… Sakura… can it be possible?

Sakura was putting her ninja weapons away. She still hadn't organized her things.
"It been almost a year already, huh?". Sakura froze as she heard a familiar voice behind her. She couldn't believe her ears. The young kunoichi was afraid to turn. How could she have not sensed him? How could she not have noticed his immense amount of chakra before? It's him! Why is he here in my room? This isn't possible, is it? What does he want? She slowly began to turn around and gasped as her eyes met up with his. Her heart was beating so fast and she was filled with fear, hate and surprise.

Sasuke was far away from Sakura's house when he felt that something was wrong. Sakura's face kept popping inside his head with more frequency than before. Sakura! His heart speeded up and he knew something was wrong. He rushed to her house at full speed.

Sai stopped. He felt his heart ache. It was a weird feeling. A feeling he never felt before. Sakura!! He suddenly thought. I'll get this mission over quickly so I can check up on her soon. He sped up.
What the hells gotten in to him? Ino wondered as she tried to keep up.

Naruto was already home when he had a strange feeling too. He knew right away something had happened to Sakura. He rushed to her house.

Gaara couldn't stop thinking about what Sakura was going through. Poor Sakura… I hope she's okay… He felt a weird feeling taking place in his heart. Something was happening. He sent Temari to Konoha with the excuse that she had to plan her wedding and it was best that she talked to Shikamaru's family. He just made sure she promised she would check up on Sakura and Naruto.

Who is this strange person? What does he want with Sakura? Will Sasuke and Naruto get there in time?
