Chapter Two
(Sasuke's POV)
As everyone filed out of the room I recalled the conversation I had with her just before we came back from our mission in the Land of Waves.
We were sitting down at camp waiting for Naruto and Kakashi to come back with more wood when she started speaking softly to me. It wasn't abnormal for her to talk to me but the tone she was speaking to me was a little weird.
"I know you don't really care for anyone's opinion about you being an avenger and everything but have you ever really thought about what you'll come back to? We're you're friends whether you want us to be or not, Sasuke. But who's to say that one of us or all of us will still be here. Think about that." She gave me a smile before getting up to get into her tent.
"How bad is it really?" I asked as I walked over to the wall closest to her bed.
Sakura just stared at me blankly for a moment before looking over to the window before speaking softly. "As bad as it can get."
I had a feeling that I wasn't getting anymore than that. I decided to go another route since I would be in here for more or less an hour to talk to her. "You hinted at this during our last mission, did you know then?" She continued to stare out the window. I had no clue why, I guess for the first time she felt uncomfortable around me.
"I think that's pretty obvious, Sasuke."
That annoyance that I was used to feeling when I was around her was started to creep up again. I gritted my teeth together as I tried my best not to walk out right now. I was trying to be that friend she referred to during her abnormal conversation with me a couple weeks ago, it wasn't something I did though.
"Do they know what it is?" She seemed to stiffened at my question. She relaxed after a moment though.
"Not exactly. Its never been heard of in the medic books nor in other villages so they are gonna have to find a medicine to keep it under control for when I leave for missions and stuff."
"Do you really think you can do missions with your condition hindering you?" I couldn't help but ask.
She turned for the first time and stared at me what seemed like her version of a smirk. It looked strange on her face. There were only two expression I was used to her using; a smile or a frown.
"No and yes." She looked down at her hands for a moment.
"Sometimes I will be and other I won't. I don't know the full extent of what it is yet. Plus there is the fact that I'll have to convince Kakashi-sensei and my parents to let me to when it get worse, but for now I think I can do it."
There were a few things I knew for sure about Sakura. One of them was she was very stubborn at times. No, not in the way that wealthy families like mine and other clans but in the way that she couldn't take no for an answer when it came to training and such like that. It was obvious at least to me that she wants to show us that she isn't the weakest link.
This new illness wasn't help prove that theory at all.
I sighed before deciding that my time was up here. There wasn't really much I could think to say to her. As I neared the door I slightly turned to look at her only to see that she was staring outside the window.
What was so special about that window?
I brushed that thought aside before muttering "Take care, Sakura." before making my way out of the door.
