Chapter 1
The air was cool the morning of Shikamaru's teams return. It was surprisingly deserted for a market morning as the two well known best friends made their way down the streets. Sakura pushed her pink bangs from her face as she glanced over at Ino who hobbled besides her holding her swollen belly. Ino scratched her belly button and looked over at Sakura who smiled and looked away.
"What are you giggling about!?" Ino snapped aggravated. Sakura tried to stop giggling only to find it growing harder and harder not to out right laugh at her.
"Shikamaru should be here by the time we make it up there." Sakura said overly happily due to the building laughing in her chest. "He better get here soon, I can't believe he left me here all alone, all fat and unattractive." Sakura rolled her eyes and Ino stopped and hunched over slightly her face contorted for a second.
"Ino? Are you okay?" Sakura asked stopping and reached towards her Ino stood up right and laugh slapping Sakura's shoulder roughly a few time. "Of course I am fine; I am fat Sakura I get out of breath easily." Sakura looked at her skeptically but caught the team jumping from the forest movement. She turned away from Ino who sighed in relief and continued walking with her to the gate where Shikamaru checked in with
"Naruto for the last time I can't go, if I don't see Ino she will have my…wow you have gotten huge!" Shikamaru said turning from Naruto as Ino came into his view. She gave a forced aggravated smile as he pulled her into a awkward hug and kissed her gently pressing his hand to her belly. She smiled lovingly at him for a moment then looked past him as another group jumped in behind them.
"We almost beat you guys back!" Kiba called Naruto laughed at him as he walked towards him and reached out his hand as Kiba paid up. Hinita came up beside Naruto taking his hand softly. He grinned at her raising the small hand to his lips before wrapping his arm around her shoulders still holding that hand.
"This is all really touching and all but…Sakura, daddy's home, baby is not waiting any longer." Sakura who had been watching Naruto and Hinita with mixed emotions turned towards Ino surprised. She pushed Shikamaru away from her making him stagger away as she pressed her hand against Ino's belly and swore.
"Why didn't you say anything?" She snapped Ino rolled her eyes and pointed to Shikamaru. "I told you I was waiting for him; I have been in labor for the past three hours!" Sakura growled scooping her pregnant friend into her arms and turned to everyone else.
"Well come on, apparently this baby isn't waiting!" With that she raced off at surprising speed from carrying Ino's heavy wait. They reached the hospital quickly and Ino was rushed into the delivery room where Tsunade was waiting for her with two other doctors. Sakura scrubbed down and came into the room where Tsunade was already setting to work.
Outside the room the gang all sat nervously waiting for the birth. Naruto plopped beside Shikamaru who was fidgeting nervously in his seat opening and shutting the lighter in his hand. Naruto rolled his eyes, for someone so laid back and lazy he sure was stressed out right now with all this fidgeting.
"Calm down Shikamaru you're a daddy now!" Naruto said nudging his friends arm gently. Shikamaru looked over at his exasperated; it wasn't his fault he was nervous he wasn't allowed in the room. "I missed all the fun stuff with as many missions as I went on, now I am missing this?" He asked Naruto shook his head.
"Don't be stupid, she talked about you all the time, so in her mind you were always there on the moments that meant the most to her." Shikamaru looked stunned at Naruto who grinned and leaned back against the wall.
"When did you become so wise?" He asked keenly Naruto grinned and looked over at Hinita who was walking back with three cups of coffee. "I have to start sounding good with my genius girl friend!" Shikamaru laughed and shook his head looking up at Hinita handed him the cup.
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU SHIKAMARU" A scream echoed into the hallway forcing everyone with in a mile radius to look up and stop what they were doing at the sound. This scream was fallowed by another, "WHO WOULD PUT SOMEONE-AHHHH- THROUGH THIS!" Shikamaru swallowed thickly and Naruto clapped his hand on her shoulder and grinned. Hinita covered her smiled with her mug as she took a small drink.
For the next twenty minutes of yelling and ranting everything went quite and through the silence the sound of a small cry came through. Shikamaru stood up as Sakura opened the door allowing everyone to come in and visit now that Ino was decent and the Baby was all cleaned up. Shikamaru walked carefully up to Ino who looked up from the small pink bundle and looked at him.
"Say hello to daddy." She whispered to the whimpering child. Shikamaru kissed the baby's head then Ino's. Sakura checked the vitals and took her leave with Tsunade. Hanging her lab coat on the hanger in her office she locked up and headed out quickly.
"Sakura wait up!" A voice behind her called she sped up and pretended she didn't hear the call when a rough tug pulled her around forcing her to face Naruto who caught his breath.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" He asked confused. She looked at trees shadows then looked back at him. "I have one more call tonight; I should get to him quickly."
"You didn't get to hear the name though; she is your best friend not just a patient." Sakura looked at him and sighed, "Shikina like her grandmother, she decided a week ago, so not missing much in that area, and Ino understands she doesn't need me in there with her and the baby with her husband." She turned to walk way when he caught her arm again.
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked she looked at her arm then back to him. "I am just tired Naruto, I have a mission tomorrow so I will spend the rest of today preparing for that." With that she pulled her arm away from him and walked away. Ever since they saw Sasuke the last time she had become distant from everybody. Stopped hanging around, stopped going on normal missions with her normal team, instead started going on dangerous missions that she never told anybody about.
"Naruto?" Hinata's meek voice came catching his attention. He turned towards her and smiled trotting up the stairs to her side again and ushered her back inside and turned to look at Sakura walking away before walking inside. Sakura turned looking at them then sighed and continued walking.
Layer of ORO
"Sasuke you don't seem to have any urge to move today." Oro said lowly his snake body turned back to its normal sick pale form. "I need a break." Sasuke said curtly. Oro's snake eyes narrowed and rounded on Sasuke but saw it in his eyes. The hate for the feelings he was having right now. He deserved a break but now?
"What if I brought a girl here?" He asked Sasuke eyes narrowed angrily. "Not that kind of break! Just leave me alone." He snapped and walked away from him. Oro smiled and turned away from him heading towards his own room, or to Kabuto, whichever came first.
Sasuke walked down the maze like hallways reaching his room quickly and slammed the door behind him. He tossed his blade to the bed and plopped after it and gripped his sheets with anger.
"Why can't I kill you?" He asked smooth faced as ever as Sakura gripped his blade that dug deep in her shoulder pinning her to the rough barked tree behind her. She pulled him closer to her sliding the blade further inside her.
"Because I love you and you hate it." She spit blood to the side and looked back at him with her charming confident smile. She was so willing to die at his hands it made him sick. He ripped the blade from her shoulder swiping it to the side cleaning the blood off of it easily. "Stop coming to find me." He said lowly starting to turn away from him but her hand caught his face softly.
"I will always come for you." She whispered he pulled away from her to fast for her eyes to fallow and vanished from sight.
Sasuke sighed and rolled his face to the side so he could breathe without the sheets heating his face. Gripping his blade tightly he closed his eyes and tried to sleep it off.
She meant nothing to him now.
After a few hours of sleep he went to find Oro again for another training round only to find himself not at his top potential again. "This is just saddening Sasuke, I can't even get a rise out of you." Oro snapped slapping Sasuke's blade spinning it into the darkness but Sasuke didn't stop moving forward. Oro reached forward pressing his middle and index finger to Sasuke's forehead and smacked him sending his a few steps back.
"The attack you are preparing to use wont work, if you don't want it to." Oro said glaring at Sasuke who lowered his hand. "I can see clearly that you aren't going to be of any use right now, leave, come back when you are strong enough to continue." With that Oro turned his back on him. Sasuke blended into the shadows and left as instructed. Kabuto came out looking at Oro who coughed violently into his hand lowering it revealing blood.
"He's a teenager Oro, maybe a good lay would do him some good. He isn't like me or you." Oro looked at Kabuto pushed his classes up with his fingers. "Sasuke in time will decide what to do with that girl, we have time…"
Sakura
"Sakura we are in position." Neji said into the com. She pressed her neck piece, "Neji is there a way around that?" She asked adjusting her sitting position on a branch. They were at a rock temple of Gura, inside resided their stolen scroll.
"No ma'ma there is no way around that rock, guess your going to have to go all she-man on us and smash the obstacle down." He chuckled and she smiled jumping down off the tree and scanned the area. No one was around her, "I will proceed" she said and pulled her gloves on giving a good few practice punches and raced forward.
"Wait!" Neji yelled but it was too late for her to stop, she fist crashed into the rock sending an explosion of rocks inside and back towards her. She hit the tree behind her then fell to her knees as she looked at Neji who had just appeared from the side with Tenten.
A loud rumble came from with in the cavern then movement in the shadows. Sakura stood to her feet again watching the movement and started forward slowly producing a kunai from a hidden pocket. A large rock beast appeared with breakneck speed sticking Tenten sending her flying backwards Neji raced forward as Sakura did and together they fought be back distracting it while they carefully looked for their scroll.
There is was deep in the dark cavern.
"Sakura" Neji called Sakura nodded without needing to hear and slid under the belly on the beast and smashed the ground collapsing it beneath her. Neji used his thousand points on the rock freezing its flailing arms as it fell. Sakura jumped from the crumbling ground to the Plato and bent down picking up the scroll. Fire tags were sent to the rock beast and exploded the beast sending its fake crumbling body to the rocks beneath it. Sakura leapt over it tucking the scroll safely inside her vest and walked towards Tenten and Neji.
The strike had been dead on and broke her leg. Sakura gasped innerly and looked at Tenten who gripped Neji's hand tightly.
"This is going to need more then a field medical ninja I will make her comfortable then take her as fast as you can back to the village." She looked to the side spotting a familiar face but looked away and concentrated on her task. Once complete Neji loaded her up onto his back and Sakura nodded and he took off she turned to Sasuke who stood not two trees away from her.
She turned to leave when his soft grip on her wrist surprised her, old anger flared and she reared back catching him by surprise as a light hit split his lip. She went to do it again but he caught her hands holding them together and forced her against a tree so she couldn't rip them away easily.
"Stop hitting." He warned she narrowed her eyes. Their energy was intense and made their hair stand on end as she lurched forward capturing his lips his grip tightened his body ran hot and cold at the same time.
"Do you even remember who I am? Or have you destroyed yourself beyond that point of recognition?"
"You don't know anything about me." He said coolly.
"I would if you would just talk to me, talk to anybody! This is all over your stupid brother I understand but so what, he is dead to the world, dead to you! You still have family here that didn't do anything wrong!" She cried he slapped her but her leg came up quickly barely missing his face again. Her movements were run of rage, his sharigan watched the colors of her Chakra change from their normal blue and green to reds and purples. "I'm not the same girl you left behind!"
"I didn't want you to suffer…" He said lowly her eyes softened briefly.
"What the hell did you think happened when you left? Did you think I was going to get over you? Maybe pop out a few kids with Naruto?" She paused watching his emotionless face, "You knew what would happen, and you knew another man would never touch me."
He looked down his ruby gaze hard with thoughts. "I told you I would go with you and go with you I did because I couldn't bring myself to look at anyone else." He voice grew quite.
"I know…I wish you would have."
"You know? Really, tell me how you know because I haven't seen you since you stabbed me!" She said touching the invisible wound on her shoulder. He looked up at her again taking her all in for a moment then lowered his gaze again. "I see you every night before you go to sleep, you are always telling me to come back soon…" He trailed off as she stared at him. Her green eyes lightened and her lips softened.
"I don't know whether or not to find that creepy or…flattering that you watch me." He looked back up, he really said that to her, that wasn't a dream.
"I have to go back…" he said she shook her head and threw her arms into the air and started to walk away from him. She alone wasn't going to take him on, she didn't need too. He wasn't being threatening so there was no need to worry about it, but she didn't account for was the fact that turning her back on him made him angry.
He was in front of her in an instant stopping her dead in her tracks. She didn't even have time to breath as he grabbed her face pinning her to a tree she hadn't even known was behind her.
"You think pain consumes me? I am a medical ninja Sasuke; I take injuries for my teammates I will take them from you." He softened his grip leaning down and captured her lips softly, and full of need and longing. She responded by pulling him closer to her but her movement was too slow and he vanished before her again.
"Wow didn't see that one coming…" She said sarcastically and pushed off the tree and headed off towards the village. After traveling a good distance she was at the gate quickly and met Naruto who was waiting for her. She slowed her pace as she grew closer to him and smile shortly. He grinned and produced two coupons for ramen. She smiled and nodded.
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked as they sat at dinner. Hinata was out on a mission, so Naruto didn't feel to see the need in telling her about having dinner with an old friend. Hinata knew the feelings that still lingered between the him and Sakura, she just hopped he never acted on them.
"I am good." She said breaking her stare on the floor and picked up her glass of water. "Have you seen Sai? I heard he came back today from that secret mission of self-finding."
"Yeah I saw him today in fact, looks good real emotion in his face, better understanding of people. Ran into him at the hospital, he was there looking for you."
"Me? Why was he looking for me?"
"You remember your birthday we missed the last time we were tracking Sasuke down?" She nodded and he pulled out a wrapped package from his pocket and set it on the table for her. She unwrapped the pick wrapping and smiled running her finger tips over the glass framed picture.
"This was back when we were kids, after we won the Leaf village tournament." He nodded, "I heard yours broke." She nodded and smiled setting it down on the table and looked over at his goofy grinned face. She looked down at the picture seeing his trademark grin with the peace sign, Sasuke was to her left had his arm wrapped around her giving her a noogie.
"Means a lot to me Naruto thank you." He nodded and they sat and chatted there for a while before the check came and Naruto paid and together they left and went their separate ways.
Sakura reached her apartment quickly and walked inside spotting a package on her table. "Must be from Ino." She mumbled and walked towards it. The closer she got she noticed it was a stuffed bear holding three pictures. The middle picture was of the two of them and the other pictures were them and one of the new baby.. She smiled and picked it up stuffing it on the shelf next to the other pictures. Sorting quickly though her mail she headed back the bedroom to change out of her clothes.
Removing her shirt she adjusted the binding around her chest before taking a few steps back spotting Sasuke sitting there in plain sight. He closed his ruby eyes then opened them again revealing his onyx ones. She smiled and pushed away from the window hearing him come in behind her as she walked into the kitchen. Sakura went about her business while he looked around the small apartment. It was oddly calming in here with her being quite and calm herself.
She appeared in front of him with a bowl of ice cream. He stared at it for a moment then looked at her. "I bet he doesn't give you ice cream huh? To childish right?" She went to take it back but he gripped her wrist softly and took the bowl sitting at the table slowly and carefully and stared at the ice cream, tasting each bite testing for poison.
She reached over snatching a bite and popped it into her mouth.
"Doesn't prove anything, you could be immune."
"Impossible, I am Medical Nin Sasuke; I know what does to the body in the process." He looked down at it again and continued to eat it. She pulled her muscular leg up onto the chair leaning it against the table, her kunai jingled making his stiffen. She lowered her spoon and removed the pouches and tossed them to the couch. Resuming her eating he relaxed and watched her ever so often as she finished up. Sakura stood from her chair and walked to the kitchen setting the bowl in the sink and turned.
"ACK!" She cried as Sasuke was behind her and dropped the bowl which shattered to the floor. She couldn't help the small smile that crept to her lips as she looked at the innocent Sasuke who stood there still holding the invisible bowl. With skilled fingers she picked the pieces up and reached for the broom and swept the mess up and looked at him. That could wait till morning.
He touched her face softly but dropped his hand and left out her bedroom window as quickly as ever. She sighed walking into the room and looked at the window.
"Come back soon…" she said trailing off then got ready for bed.
The fallowing day Sakura found herself being complimented on weird things like her looks, her smile, the way she handles patients. She walked into the nurses office for coffee and one of the young nurses stopped her to tell her how radiant she looked.
"This is just weird…" Sakura said looking around her as she took her drink and set it down walking over to the first patient's room. She made her morning rounds talked with her patients, comforted her patients and laughed at any joke they told.
Then for her lunch break she found Ino and Shikamaru with young Shikina at the benches/ Ino was digging through the huge obscene baby bag while Shikamaru made faces at Shikina who giggled.
"She's too cute Ino-pig!" Sakura said plopping to the bench wiggling her fingers at the baby. "Your one to talk billboard head!" They shared an aggravated laugh together and looked at Shikamaru who sighed looking at the baby with pleading eyes.
"How is the baby doing?" Sakura asked watching as Ino pulled out a plug and stuck it into Shikina's mouth. "She is a good one at least; she lets us sleep through the nights wakes early in the morning when I get up. Shikamaru sleeps till noon then he watches her while I go do things and now we are headed up to Shikamaru's mommy" she added a little baby talk for Shikina who giggled in response.
"Have you gotten Sai's gift?" Ino asked pushing her blond bangs from her face. Sakura shook her head, "Haven't had any time to see him, he left early this morning on another mission. At this rate everyone who keeps going out will be exhausted!"
Ino nodded sadly, "You have been working forty-eight hour shifts at a time too, its not easy on anyone right now." They shared a small frown then looked at the baby who gurgled. "You are looking so perky today…did you find someone?" Ino asked wiggling her brows. Sakura laughed slapping her shoulder hard a few times.
"Ino think before you open your mouth! I will catch you two love birds later and you little girl…I will see you at your next check up!" She smiled patting the baby's head softly then started walking off leaving the small family alone.
The village was booming this morning with the return merchants for the leaf carnival that came around once in a blue moon. She walked down an old stone path to a small hut close to the edge of town. Pushing the small white gate open she walked inside and knocked on the door. The door opened after a few minutes revealing old Mike.
"Ah Sakura, I have been feeling so much better with these house calls!" Mike said Sakura smiled and brought out a small bag and handed it to him. "I am glad to hear that, you have been reacting well to this medicine, so let's keep you on it for at least one more week. Remember one teaspoon." She wrote it down on her clip board and scribbled some notes.
"You saw that boy again didn't you?" The led on her pencil broke but she pressed on turning the page on her clipboard. "Saw what boy?" She asked looking up casually.
"That boy you love, you only smile so caringly when you have seen him, has something happened?" Sakura looked at him and frowned. "No, I am afraid not." He nodded and she started walking towards the door.
"I will see you tomorrow Mike, till then take care of yourself." With this she left and made her way home. It was coming close to late evening when Sakura arrived home setting her mail on the counter she froze spotting the bowl she had broken last night. She smiled and ran her fingers over the smooth surface.
Mission: Capture and release
"Damn-it Kasme!" Sakura yelled into her com as her last fallowing team member fell off the cliff side into the flowing river side. Sakura clamped her eyes tight and gripped the legs of the man on her back tighter and leapt up the base of an ancient oak. She traveled up the branches and pushed forward into the forest again. Three explosions behind her sent bark flying slicing her skin wherever it hit. She dove towards the ground again landing on a springy branch ricocheting her through the tops of the trees and soared for a moment before breaking back into the forest.
As she landed the branch snapped making her swear as she tried to regain her footing but failed as another explosion tag went off beside her the wood splintered and stabbed through her forearm. She groaned in agony as she looked down at her arm setting him down for a moment and ripped the wooden stake from her flesh and tossed it to the side her charge tried to run away in fear but she grabbed him flinging him to her back again as she raced forward once again as rouge ninja broke through the smoke and sent a rain of kunai in her direction.
Changing direction she slammed her powerful fist into a nearby tree and used it as a shield as she flew backwards to another tree which caved under her impact. Leaping over the next branches she found herself in the forest of mushrooms. Landing on the spongy surface she set down her change and healed her arm as she looked around. Her breath was ragged and raspy, her throat dry from effort and strain.
"You are injured!" the man said she looked at him as he pointed she looked down and noted the kunai sprouting from her shoulder. She swore ripping it out tossing it before it exploded. Sakura grabbed the man and jumped as more kunai raced towards them. She raced on the ground now the weight of the man was slowing her down, and these wounds were weakening her. Hiding places were limited if any as she collapsed to the ground dropping the man to the ground roughly. She sat up pulling her gloves off as she tried to pull the wire mess netting out of her wounds.
An explosion fallowed and she swore grabbing the exhausted man up again but was jerked to the ground sending the man flying as she was ripped along the ground through the rocks and trees. The ground seemed like razors as she was dragged over them roughly. She sat up shielding her face from on coming brush and branch and sliced the wire and looked at her bleeding ankles and cried out in pain as she pulled the wire out of the wound. Voices and screams made her more alert to her surroundings as a man jumped in front of her. Rolling back she pushed off her arms back to her feet avoiding the razor sharp blade. Jumping the best she could backwards she dodged with attacks drawing her own short blade from her back and blocked. The pitched ring echoed around the forest tree walls. She jumped back but didn't land properly and hit the ground her blade whizzed from her hand sticking a tree a few away from her.
The man raised his blade to deliver the final blow. She clamped her eyes tight cracking them when no blow was delivered. Opening her eyes she spotted Sasuke, the last person she believed would come to rescue her. She tried to stand but gasped as her head spun and sent her right back to the ground. He was there in an instant pulling her softly into his arms and rolled her to his back. She wrapped her arms limply around his neck as he leapt from the ground to the trees again.
Pursuit didn't end there; Sasuke fought the men who came into view with minimal effort. Sakura sighed innerly, she still relied on someone to come and save her. She closed her eyes trying to conserve some energy to heal the worse of her wounds. She was set down in a leafy fern bush and he came to her front.
"Wake up." He said coolly she opened her eyes weakly and looked around. She had forgotten where she was for a moment. He pulled her vest over her head setting it to the side then pulled a lightning fast kunai from somewhere and sliced her wire mesh shirt. Pulling that clear from her he left her with just her bindings. Feeling slightly insecure she felt her face flush. He hardly seemed to notice as he raised the towards his face and aimed away from her as he gave a breath of fire on the blade. Bringing it back he pressed the searing hot blade to her shoulder wound.
Her screams were sure to bring more men to them, so Sasuke pressed his free hand to her mouth to muffle the voice as she writhed in agony. Removing it he looked at her as her eyes filled with tears.
"I thought the bowl would be enough, now you expect me to save you too?" He asked. It was hardly hearable, but Sakura was in his face and heard with little strain. The forest was booming with wild life which was comforting considering the position they were in. When it goes silent that is a sign that the enemy was drawing near.
"I didn't know you were fallowing me Sasuke, or I wouldn't have left myself so stupidly open." She snapped through clenched teeth her fingers dug deep into the soft soil beneath her. "Yes you would have you always fight open, reckless with all your force just likes…"
"Someone you used to know?" she pried with a small smile. He looked down at her hands and sighed. She was right he wasn't supposed to be right now, this mission worried him, even if he didn't know it yet.
"How did you find me?" She asked he glanced at her before finding other things to do, like check her other wounds. "I heard you were headed up towards the swamp lands, Oro has been around this area stirring trouble, it was a dangerous mission for the amount of tactical members you had on your team." Ouch, that was a dig at her, he knew she was head of the new dead team.
"You were worried?" She asked he didn't answer instead he gripped the lesser of the worse wound tight making her gasp and forget her question. His onyx eyes quickly changed to the Sharigan and her skin warmed. She looked down watching as the skin on her forearm knitted together. Shocked, she looked up at his face and raised her brow slightly.
"The greatest warrior of all time can heal as well as kill?" She looked back down at his hands and yanked her hand away. His own split and started bleeding, "Others, I don't normally heal others, my body does it naturally."
"You risk injuring yourself to heal me? Why?" He sighed and stood up.
"Can you walk?" He asked avoiding her question like normal. She nodded and he pulled her to her feet. "Good, we have a long walk out of here."
"You shouldn't push yourself so hard, every time you go on a mission exhausted you bring nothing but danger to you team." He said lowly she didn't respond, all she could say was practice what you preach.
Back at the village
"God, Shikamaru should be back any day now, I am surprised he even left!" Ino said smiling as the girls sat around the table eating their monthly ice-cream. Sakura was on leave for a few days thanks to her injuries which were healing nicely thanks to someone.
"Someone has to work and your not going to be for a while, at least till this little girl is in school! Yes!" Sakura said leaning over to talk to the baby who giggled covering her face with her little hands.
"I suppose, Hinata?" Ino said turning to their quite friend who was looking over her supplies. After their meeting she was off on her mission and she would be out for a week while Naruto came back tomorrow. Hinita looked up her face turned red with embarrassment
"Sorry this mission is bugging me… they said that a lot of missing nin have been seen on this route." She laughed uneasy.
"That would be cool if you caught Sasuke! Brought him back home for Sakura-Chan to change his little wires around in that little pretty head he has on those rough muscular shoulders." Sakura almost choked on her Ice-cream then laughed uneasily. Hinata nodded then finished up her ice-cream and took her leave while the best friends stayed behind.
"I heard you have a new client that is going be a dozy for you to patch up; I guess he is missing a limb and all."
"That is fascinating Ino, but I doubt they would put that under my watch, I am way too booked to deal with some person who is beat up." Ino wiggled her finger but dropped the conversation none the less. They parted due to the baby being tired.
So Sakura headed home while looking over the endless amount of books and notes that Tsunade had given her on new techniques. Traveling up her stairs she unlocked her door grabbing her mail from the box. She walked inside slowly looking through the mail while gently kicking the door shut. She set the mail on the table seeing Sai's package on the table. She locked the door and unwrapped the present a small smile crept to her lips at the sight of a book. She was drawn on the front and Sasuke on the back she heard her window open which made her set the book down and walked towards her room where the noise came from.
"Sasuke!" She gasped as he closed the window behind him he was bleeding from his lip and arm but they didn't look to bad.
"Hey…" He rasped he sounded exhausted it had been week since she saw him last. He stepped forward but started to fall she caught him easily and Coxed him over to her bed. She removed her books setting them on the floor then helped him down and touched his forehead.
"Okay Hun just rest here till you feel better okay?" she said hovering her hand over his shoulder where one wound was healing that was easy she dabbed the cut on his lip then moved away from him only to find her hand captured but his strong grasp. His bangs covered his eyes shielding his emotions. She turned back to him confused and bent down to his level.
"What's wrong?" She asked softly.
"You called me hun…"
"I did?" She asked he cleared his throat swallowing hard then nodded.
"I am sorry?" he shook his head, "I like it… till I have to leave you …will you call me that?" she smiled pushing his bangs from his face.
"Only if you let me…" He closed his resistant eyes, to sleep she assumed. She cleaned up the blood trail he left on her window. She changed her clothes assuming he was asleep, and then she laid onto the floor and looked over the books and scrolls that seemed endless. It was a good four hours before any noise was made in the apartment, but when he spoke she jumped. She must have been studying intensely.
"Why do you study when your as good as you are?" a voice asked she rolled to her side looking up at him.
"Because I have to keep up my mad skills to heal your butt when this is all over…" he took a deep breath but she stood she wore a medium shirt with a pare of booty shorts.
"Do you feel better?" she asked touching his forehead. He seemed back to his normal self. "Thanks…" She raised a brow Sasuke Uchiha say thanks?
"Hungry?" he shook his head then sat up looking at his arm which ached from the harsh training he was going though. "Are you sure?" He nodded again so she turned around not sure what else she was supposed to say to him. He fallowed her out as she got her food turning around to see him flipping though the book.
"Sai gave that to me for my birthday." She said leaning forward on the counter watching his tired eyes. "Is it possible for you to stay put a night? So you can get some sleep? I know you're tired because you can barely keep those genius eyes open." He looked up from the book bald faced.
"You think I am a genius?
"Damn Sasuke you didn't know?" She said smiling he looked outside at the fading sun that seemed to hang on for a few minutes for him to make his decision.
