Forever
SasuSaku
After Sasuke came back from Orochimaru, he found a note in his apartment. From her. It was always her. But, it wasn't what he expected. After 3 years, it still wasn't what he expected her to be. Black with red clouds.
Chapter two! And this is where it'll really start to change up. Hope it's enjoyable!
Chapter 2
Teme!
Now this is when Uchiha Sasuke started to get angry. He felt like a prisoner…which wasn't exactly false. The Anbu with the fox mask – the dobe – was talking too soft and too fast for the Uchiha to decipher his words, but he knew they were deciding what to do with him.
Not even an hour ago, the Uchiha sensed their chakra signatures and openly approached them. To the team's surprise, he offered to hand himself in and return to Konoha. He had fulfilled his purpose: he killed both Itachi and Orochimaru.
Sure, he expected hostility and such…but not as far as binding him with chakra ropes around his wrists and ankles, binding them together behind his back. The ropes numbed his limbs so he couldn't perform jutsu no matter how hard he tried.
Naruto nodded for what seemed to be the twentieth time in ten seconds. "Hai, I understand that he is an S-rank missing nin. I understand why we've binded him like that. What I don't understand is why we can't take him back to the village. Whether he's lying or not, Granny will be ecstatic to punish him." He argued to the man with a bird-like mask.
The man sighed. "Even if he isn't lying, we can't risk him entering the village like this." White eyes flicked to all the faces in their small circle.
"I agree with Naruto, Neji. He's still cold, but he's genuine. Uchiha never seemed like one to lie to get his way." A lazy voice droned, his mask adorned with feline features.
Neji snorted before sighing. "Fine, but be sure to know that if Hokage-sama asks, it was your idea, Uzumaki, Nara." He massaged his temples, before they all broke apart.
Naruto grinned behind his mask, throwing Sasuke over his shoulder, causing the man to grunt. "C'mon teme, we're taking you back home!"
Sakura sighed, running her fingers through her hair. She relished in the privacy the forest gave her. Two weeks have passed since she left Konoha and it's been…annoying.
She was stopped countless times on the streets begging her to help with some ailment or another. She really cursed the vibrant color that was her hair. She pulled her hood over her head to cover her tresses from any shinobi that happened to pass by. A soft 'thud' startled her from her thoughts as her hitai-ate fell from her small pack on her back.
Konoha's symbol gleamed back up at her, reflecting her dirty face. She scowled. She hastily put it back where it belonged – she could not have regrets now.
Suddenly, she felt something cold on her nose. She tilted her head up to look at the sky, resulting in a rain drop falling onto her forehead and cascading down to her chin. She swore under her breath and picked up her pace as she knew of a small town nearby.
"Fuck, yeah," A tall, blonde swore, using the hotel's towels to stop the bleeding of a redhead. The redhead coughed up blood again, his body convulsing too much for him to steadily breathe.
"Danna, you better not die on me," He pondered a second, "again, yeah." The body spat, the corners of his lips twitching up ever so slightly.
"And you were no help either times, Deidara," His body still convulsing for another minute before going still.
Deidara cursed before pacing wildly around the room. He jumped when the redhead choked again, trying to figure out what he could do.
Sakura gave a sigh of relief, wringing her hair out on the wooden floor. The inn-keeper looked up, aggravated.
"Damn shinobi," He grumbled, fiddling with a room key. "Need a room miss?" He asked loudly, enough to gain her attention. Sakura gave an apologetic smile.
"Hai, how much is one night?" She asked and he pointed to a blatantly obvious sign with the amount scribbled on it. She flushed and nodded, giving him the amount with no protest…even if it was quite expensive for the ratty inn. He gave her the key and sent her away.
Sakura rolled her eyes at his rudeness. Off in her own little world, she bumped into a muscled chest. "Gomen…" She replied, before looking up.
The blonde growled. "You…" It seemed the blonde Akatsuki remembered her. She shuddered. She had killed his partner years ago, Sasori.
Deidara gave her a once-over, looked over his shoulder, and the back to her. With an aggravated sigh. "You're a medic right?" Surprised, she meekly nodded. 'Hm, something's off about him…' Her inner self mused, rubbing an imaginary goatee.
Without saying anything else, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his room. She hesitantly let him – she was in no shape to fight an Akatsuki member right now.
She gasped at the sight on the floor. The man she knew she killed lay on the floor, raggedly breathing. There was a gaping hole in his stomach, and she could tell that there were some broken bones by his position. "Heal him," Was Deidara's command.
She sharply turned around, looking at him incredulously. He must've been desperate to ask her for help, but even so, he was not going to get it immediately.
"And why should I?" Within seconds, he had her pressed to the wall. A gasp caught in her throat as she knew she was done for.
"If you don't I'll kill you," He whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. "Fine," She bit out, knowing that she had to co-operate. She silently got to work, doing the best she could to save him with the little chakra she had left. She had to stop the bleeding first and help everything start to heal again to get the body back on track. All the while, Deidara kept a close eye on Sasori over his shoulder. He didn't want to lose his partner, his best friend again.

Yay for updating! I'd just like to announce that by the time chapter three is up, the sequel to From Inside The Writer's Office will be up as well! –Giggle– Yes, I made a sequel. Also, I'm working on two stories from the top two pairings on my poll: Sakura x Itachi, Sakura x Sasori. Sadly, the SakuIta is simply a one-shot, while SakuSaso is going to be a full-blown story. Why? Cause I don't know what to write for a full SakuIta story XD More information will be out when the story OR one-shot is posted, kay? =]
Akura out!
