Sorry about the long wait people! And also sorry for it only being 1000 words, but it wasn't relevant to write any more. Hope you enjoy!

Sakura's POV

I went with Naruto to 'work' this morning, as Rin had put it to me later that day. The 12 year old was dropped off at Lee's place again, under the strong condition to not let him outside, just to make sure he doesn't see Sasuke. As long as those two are apart, Naruto and I should be okay. Or so we thought

Naruto sat at his desk signing papers and mumbling complaints to himself under his breath ungratefully.
'God, is half of this even relevant?'
'For all the things I could be doing right instead of this…'
'Who asks stuff like this?'
'God how I wish something interesting would-'

"Will you stop whining?" I snapped, sitting on the edge of his desk and shoving my face close to his.

"I'm not whining!" Naruto protested, pouting his lips and screwing up his eyes in his usual annoyed expression.

"Seriously-" I sighed turning my back to him, still sitting on the desk "Did you want me to come here so I could sit around listening to you whining?" I crossed my arms over my chest in a huff

"No…" Naruto shook his head viciously "I just wanted to be with you that's all…"

"You're with me at home" I poked out, my voice softening with love. I turned my head to look at him

"Yes, but…. Well, I know Lee will keep a good protective eye on Rin, but…. But I wanted someone to keep an eye on you-" Naruto told me awkwardly, leaning back in his seat and looking down at his lap.

"What are you saying? That I can't look after myself?" I yelled, sliding off the table and scowling at him, my fists clenched.

"No, I just-"

"You just what"

"I just want to keep you close. I know you're miserable, now stop yelling at me!" Naruto screamed me like a child, crossing his own arms across his chest.

"Whatever, that's sweet an all" I scoffed "But I don't need my husband watching over me just because he's the flipping hokage!" I roared

"Well, well Sakura, never thought you'd ever get with someone so successful"

I froze for a minute at the voice coming from behind me, my eyes focusing on the window behind my husband. Naruto's mouth was dropped and looking past me. His eyes were mixed with a mixture of emotions . His mouth began to shape, making him looking like a fish, before he whispered what I dreaded.

"Sasuke…"

I spun round angrily to see the king of abandonment, my face twisted into a look of pure and utter hate for the bastard who stood far too proudly in the door way, leaning against the frame.
His hair was a layered mess round his head, with the longer parts tied back into a crazy black ponytail. His skin was sickly pale and his eyes looked tired but malicious, as if he was a cheetah about to pounce on Naruto and I.

"Naruto. It's been a while" He smirked.

I heard Naruto's chair screech behind me, before his arm wrapped round my shoulders protectively.

"What do you want Sasuke?" Naruto spoke strongly, a voice far too manly then the one I was used to.

"Oh nothing. Just a visit-" Sasuke shrugged.

"Well you've done that and now you've outstayed you welcome- how about dashing off back to where you same from?" I hissed, wishing he was close enough for me to spit on him.

Sasuke sniggered at us "Haven't you missed me?"

"Not a bit!" We both replied at once, shooting darts with our eyes.

"What a shame" he sighed with fake misery, pushing himself of the door and stepping into the room, looking round. "I see you've made a strong name for yourself, Naru. Well done"

"Whatever" Naruto snorted.

"And you Sakura, I must say I am surprised at all this. Not only have you married to someone too good for you to even stand next to, but you also have nothing to your name to hold pride. Other than Naruto of course, but then again I guess that's why you married him" Sasuke laughed.

"What?" I bellowed

"What's that supposed to mean?" Naruto pouted

"I means she's only with you for your title" Sasuke sneered, his voice twisted to sound almost kind.

"Doubt that. She was with me before I earned the title" Naruto stuck his tongue out childishly, making even me feel idiotic even considering the situation.

Sasuke shrugged and turned round and head back out the door "Sure…" he muttered. He stepped to the door and then paused slowly and turned his head to us once again "By the way" he leered "You're son is a feisty one"

Our bodies turned to stone.

"He's got your personality, Naruto that's for sure. But… It's strange…" He drifted off, his eyes on the floor with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Wh-what is?" Naruto stuttered, holding me closer to him.

"You two don't have brown eyes" Sasuke giggled "And those eyes… Those eyes are so… Familiar, as if I see them every time I look into a clear river…"

I gritted my teeth while I felt Naruto's embrace tighten

"They're so full of hate" and with that he walked out.

Naruto's hand tightened on my shoulder before he launched himself at the door way, yelling as he did so, ready to throttle Sasuke to the ground. He was alarmed when he stopped there, his head flicking from left to right, left to right.

"He's gone" he spoke in a monotonic voice.

"Gone?" I spat "What do you mean gone? He can't just disappear-"

"But he has Sakura! He has!" he screamed back, his eyes narrowed to lines.

My breath became heavy, my stomach began to turn. I leaned back on the desk behind me, my body shaking slightly.

"Sakura?" mumbled Naruto, blinking at me before rushing over "Sakura, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

I tried to argue with him that I was fine and that he should stop asking stupid questions, but my throat felt like it was closing up. Tighter and tighter and tighter….

"Sakura?... Sakura?... Sakura….. SAKURA!"
