Pride Hurts

ch 20

" Sasuke I want you to find him"

" why me?"

" Because you two are like brothers and maybe just maybe you could talk some since into him" Tsunade said softly

" I'm sorry mam' but i need to take care of Sakura..."

" Don't worry i will look after her myself.. remember she lives with me" she said a bit humorously

" .. but-"

" no but's! this is a mission order! you will go out and seek Naruto Uzumaki of the hidden leaf village and bring him home!"

" we don't even know where to look!!!"

" come on now... where would you go if you were Naruto?"

" the perv guy Jerrrrr--- something..."

"that's right Jyria.. now where ever he is you might just find a clue"

" Hai.."

" He's in the land of the sand right now looking for some 'research' -cough- on his books.. so you know what that means"

" I'll leave tonight "

"good"

" So that's what happened?" Sakura asked me

" hn.." i responded packing up some more ninja gear.

" I hope nothing harmful happened to him "

"hn"

" Sasuke are you okay?" she asked me concerned.

" hn..." i said turning my back on her and fetching my cloths to put in my bag.

" Sasuke..." she said stubbornly

" hn?" i looked at her. she got up from sitting on my bed and came up to me.

" talk to me.. "she said desperately

" i am.. And everything is just fine and dandy. okay?" i said as rested my hands on her shoulders.

" ... fine.." she said as she walked back to the bed

" Sakura I'm only gonna be gone for a few weeks. the longest is 2 months. relax."

" 2 months?!" yeah that's so short.." she said sarcastically

" it will go by in a flash you'll see" i said as i closed my bag and threw it on my back ready to start this mission.

" Wait!" i turned around to see Sakura rush to me. i lifted my eyebrow confused

" I.. erm... I'll walk you to the gate" she said walking past me.. i shrugged it off and followed her.

once we got there it was already late. and Tsunade was already waiting for me.

" and here i thought you were gonna be a no show" she said with a smile

"hn.."

" are you ready Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked me

"ah" i said as began too walk off..

"uhh... Sasuke!" sakura yelled. i turned around and saw Sakura come after me and hugged me tightly.

" 2 months at the most. "

" y-yeah.. " i just stood the blushing like an idiot.

" Sasuke?" she looked up at me.. still hugging me.

" ah?"

" I... I L-love you.." she whispered. my eyes widened in shock as i was about to hug her back. but she let go and pushed me forward.

" have fun!" she yelled as she ran back to Tsunade and waved sheepishly at me. i stood there still shocked.. and slowly began to smile..

" Later Sakura!" i waved and ran off to complete my mission.

" hurry back Sasuke-kun "

" Sakura?"

" yes Tsunade?"

" what did you tell him?" Tsundade asked curiously

" oh nothing." Sakura said with a smile and ran off.
