Authors Note: Well, not really that much to say…Good job though. For working me. Haha(; I love it!
Keep reviewing…Babeh;D!
….
Sakura was very angry. She had no plans to talk to, or have admiration for Uchiha Sasuke.
She stopped flirting with Suigetsu, because she realized it was childish.
For now.
Him and Sakura were having their usual random conversations.
"Geez! It is WAY to hot out here for somebody made of water!" Suigetsu said, rubbing the sweat off his forehead.
They were now far into the dessert, and they were approaching the Sand village.
"But you were unnaffected a few hours ago?" Sakura remembered how she observed him before, and he seemed un-disturbed by the pounding heat.
"Mhm. That's because evaporation takes time." Suigetsu said, sounding very smart.
"So, you're smart? You act like a total…Dip-sh**." Sakura stuck her tongue out.
Suigetsu stuck out his.
"Well, I only know so much. Water I have to be educated in…Kabuto.." Suigetsu went grim.
"You were…A.."
Suigetsu nodded.
Sakura gasped, and felt sympathy for the kind hearted boy next to her.
He had been experimented on.
"Sui…"
"Nah! Its ok! I'm hardly injured anymore. Its just a pain to have to keep drinking water all the time."
Sakura followed Sasuke into a cave that they deicided to camp in tonight.
Suigetsu set up his tent, while Sasuke kept his packed.
Suigetsu quickly went to sleep, exhausted from the sun.
A thick blanket of awkward silence rested between Sasuke and her.
"….."
Sakura shivered. They couldn't find wood, so it was cold.
Very cold because they were in the desert.
"…Are you cold, Sakura?" Sasuke broke the silence.
"No, I'm not, Uchiha." Sakura replied, as cold as the air surronding them.
Sasuke snorted softly.
"Whats with your attitude, Sakura?"
"My attitude? Sorry Uchiha, but you aren't any better."
Sasuke sighed loudly.
Sakura sub-conciously started chattering loudly.
"Sakura, have my shirt." Sasukes shirt was thrusted in her face.
Sakura took it, and then threw it on the ground.
"Bull! Uchiha, you need to wear a shirt." Sakura said, not looking at his bare chest.
Sasuke took it, and put it back on.
Sakura heard him climb into his sleeping bag, and no more movemnet.
Thinking it was safe, Sakura slowely started sobbing quietly.
She took out her picture frame from her back-pack, and let her tears fall on its glass.
It was a collage picture frame.
Four photos were held in it.
One, was a single picture of her beloved Sasuke.
Multiple hearts were around him, all done by her naïve therteen year old self.
A big lip-stick mark was on the glass protecting the in-valuable picture.
She remembered the day she snapped it.
…
Sakura had her camera in hand…She had to do this!
"CHA! LETS SNAP A PICTURE OF THE MODEL!" Inner Sakura screamed.
Sakura approached the red bridge, and was happy to not see Naruto there.
Sasuke was leaning on the bridge, and had his eyes closed.
Sakura made sure to keep her hands behind her back to keep the camera hidden.
"Ohayo! Sasukee-KUN!" Sakura chirped.
Sasuke raised his hand in a salute.
Sakura slowely went over to him.
Quickly, she swooped next to his side, under his arm, and put the camera infront of them.
Sakura smiled, and snapped the picture.
"What was that about, Sakura?" He asked.
"Mm…Just a keep-sake." She said, stepping away from him.
…..
Her tears fell faster, and her sobs got slightly louder.
"S-Sasuke-kun…Why do I have to be so in love with you?" She kept whispering, holding herself, and trying to keep her sobs in.
..
Sasuke was well awake.
She heard her whispering and sobbing over and over again.
His eyes were wide, but he didn't dare turn-around.
"Sasu..Ke..Kun.." She sobbed out.
"I'm so cold..Bu..But you..You're hear-heartless.."
Sasuke mentally flinched.
He then heard her stumble out of the cave.
What did he tell her! They had to stay together at all times.
He quickly made a copy of himself, and ran after her.
He followed silently, seeing what she was doing.
She dropped a rectangle object.
She fell to her knees.
He heard her sob, and watched as she got up.
Sasuke had enough.
He quickly re-appeared infront of her, and took the object from her.
He looked down and saw his thirteen year-old self, with Sakura.
He sighed as Sakura tried to take it away, tears running down her face.
"GIVE IT BACK!" She was sobbing so hard, she soon started coughing.
"SAKURA!" He yelled.
She stopped sobbing, her eyes wide.
He slowely opened the frame and took out his photo.
"No!No! Pl-please! No!" She reached out her hand to take it from him with every word.
She fell to her knees, and grabbed onto his pants.
"Why do you cry so much?" Sasuke whispered.
..
His words pissed her off.
She got up, her knees weak.
"WHY DO YOU GIVE ME SO GOD-D*** MANY REASONS TOO!" She yelled in his face.
Sasuke closed his eyes.
"I HATE YOU!" Sakura yelled.
It seemed to echo threw the sand hills for what seemed like five minutes.
..
Sasuke didn't know what he felt at that moment.
When it left her mouth, he was speachless.
'She was the only person who loved you, and you lost her.'
Sighing a shaky breath, he opened his eyes, his sharingan eyes peering into her.
Sakuras eyes widened, and then she went limp.
Sasuke caught her, and carried her back.
He realized what he lost.
A strong girl.
A beautiful girl.
A smart girl.
A funny girl.
A kind-hearted girl.
And most importantly, a girl that truely loved him.
He dispersed his shadow clone, and set Sakura into her sleeping bag.
He took of his shirt, and placed it on her.
Sighing, he put the picture back, and looked at the others.
There were four total.
One of him and her.
A picture of her and Naruto.
A picture of what he guessed was her family.
And finally, the in-famous team seven photo.
He set it next to her, and went to his sleeping bag.
He hadn't slept in two days, and he needed the rest.
He was worried about an attack.
Quickly creating a bushin, he fell asleep despite the cold.
..
Sakura woke up with a start.
Her eyes hurt, and she remembered what had happened last night.
"…Promise we won't breakdown anymore. Promise." Inner sakura said seriously.
Sakura sighed. She remembered how hard it was to keep all of these feelings in her these past three years.
The last four days had beaten her up.
"We got all of It out. Now we need to be strong."
Sakura nodded.
'I promise.'
"M-Ma'am?"
Sakura looked towards the opening of the cave, and saw a little boy with a bundle in his arms.
Sakura quickly walked to him.
"What are you doing in the desert!"
He started to wail, and Sasuke woke up and came over.
Sakura took the baby from his arms, and saw a baby girl with blonde hair.
The boy had black hair.
She handed the baby to Sasuke, and Sasuke took it with confusion on his face.
Sakura hugged the boy.
He grabbed her hair softly.
She stood with him in her arms and looked at Sasuke.
He was smirking down at the little girl, and coo-ing her softly.
She smiled.
'He is meant to be a father.' She thought.
The little boy pulled away, sniffling.
She could tell that he was dehydrated.
"My..My Mommy, she won't wake up!" The little boy said.
Sakura sighed closing her eyes.
His Mom had most likely passed away.
"What village are you from?"
He shrugged.
"We always lived in the forest."
Sakura gasped.
He had traveled that far with his little Sister?
"Whats your little sisters name?"Sakura asked.
"She's not my just a little girl I found on my way here."
Sakuras mouth was wide.
"How long has it been since you…Last saw your Mommy?"
"Hmm…"He said. " I think its been three days."
Sakura was amazed.
She walked over to her canteen, and gave it too him.
"I..I'm not thirsty!"He crossed his arms and looked away.
"You need to drink it." She said patiently.
"Mommy said not to take things from strangers!"
Sakura growled softly.
" .It."
"NO!"
Sasuke came over and took the boy from Sakura.
"Hey man!" Sasuke said, very different from the usual Sasuke she saw.
"Hey man!" The boy replied smiling.
Sasuke gave him a high five.
"Man, I need to drink some water, because I want to be real strong!" Sasuke took the canteen and drank from it.
"Hey! I want too be strong too! Don't drink it all!" The boy said, agreeing with Sasuke.
Sasuke gave the boy the canteen, and the boy drank deeply.
"Aaah!" The boy said dramatically, wiping his mouth.
"How old are ya?" Sasuke asked.
The boy held up three fingers.
"I'm five!"
Sasuke smirked.
"Really? That means you are gonna be a MAN soon!"
The boy nodded excitedly.
"I wanna be just like you! I wanna be strong, and have a pretty wife like you!"
Sakura blushed.
Sasuke chuckled.
"Sakura isn't my wife." He said.
"Then she will be MY wife!" The little boy said.
Sakura laughed.
"Hey man, you should go train!" Sasuke said, putting him down.
"OK!" the boy ran out infront of the cave, and started meditating.
"Hey man!" Sakura mocked.
Sasuke rolled his eyes.
"You are a good Father figure." Sakura comented.
Sasuke nodded.
"Well, I have to be if I plan to be the head of my clan."
Sakura nodded.
" are we going to do with them? Their mom.."
They both knew what it was like to lose one.
"Hn. I'm not sure. We can't leave them, and we can't bring them."
"W-Why not!"
"We are in pursuit of the Akatsuki, its dangerous."
"But-"
"Do you want to have them killed? Or captured?"
Sakura bit her lip.
"No..I don't."
"I suggest we drop them off infront of the Sands gate, and tell them to go inside."
Sakura looked at the boy, and the little girl in a make-bed of Sasuke's sleeping bag.
Sighing she nodded.
"Fine." She said.
..
Suigetsu had gotten up twenty minutes before, and Sakura held the baby in her arms.
Sasuke was holding the little boys hand, and they were almost at the gates.
Sakura felt her eyes start to water, but remembered her promise to herself.
The little boy looked up at the gates warrily.
Sakura gave the baby to the boy carefully.
"Ok man, this is the biggest test of all. You need to step up, and take care of that little girl. Make her your life, and protect her no matter what. Don't let her go thinking you don't love her..Or you'll lose her." Sasuke said, putting his hand on the little boys shoulder.
Sakura was shocked at his words, but deicided not to read into them.
"I will! I promise! Maybe she will…be my wife."
Sakura hugged the little boy, and told him to tell the guards he was lost, and about his Mother.
He nodded, and walked into the city.
Sakura turned away quickly.
She opened her eyes, and what she saw, made her shiver.
It was Deidara, with Karin on the ground next to him, tied up, and beaten to a pulp.
….
Mm…WOAH!
BOOM! Did I scare yah?
Well, this is their first Akatsuki encounter…Will it be their last?
