Sasuke sat in the darkness, brooding silently in the darkness. Anything that could be broken, was, and he sat there, waiting. He knew he was about to leave with Kakashi to train. He also knew that she would come back; she always did. She had mentioned that her mother was still confining her to the house, and Saskue smirked in triumph: that monster from Suna wouldn't see her anytime soon. He snatched up his fully packed bag, and walked out of his apartment. He'd have what he wanted.
He always did.
Sakura paused in her taijustu practice, and looked out into the trees. It was about two o'clock, and she realized with a start that she'd trained all the way through lunch. She walked over to the edge of the training grounds and snatched up her bag. Walking home, she waved to Anko, who sat next to Hyate, and even watched as Gai demonstrated his Dynamic Entry to a bemused and slightly annoyed Asuma. She laughed as she watched Konohamaru state loudly that he was going to "hit that creep from Suna so hard his ancestors would get dizzy". Kankuro would have laughed had he heard that...
"Mom! I'm home!"
Sakura's mother looked up at her pink-haired child and said airily, "Hello, Sakura-chan. Did your training go well?"
"Yeah...I heard Sasuke-san was released from the hospital. Is that true?"
"Yes...I heard Makimoto-san talking to one of the janitors while I was tying up a broken leg today. Oh, and your father is going to be out on a mission for a week, so I have to man the store."
"Yes, Mom," sighed Sakura. "I'm going upstairs to sleep for a while."
Gaara sat in the darkness of the hotel room, thinking hard. No one disturbed him, because to do so was certain death. He'd made up his mind: he would find the Uchiha and tell him to leave Sakura and himself alone. He grabbed his gourd, and in a swirl of sand, he disappeared.
"Well, it seems that you can only perform two Chidori at a time, Sasuke."
Saskue only sat, panting. Kakashi seemed a little off today; Sasuke couldn't put his finger on it. Suddenly, Kakashi said out loud, "Okay, I know you're there. Come out."
Sasuke wasn't suprised to see the Suna monster step out from behind the rocks. Sasuke stood, and faced the inhuman creature.
"What? Can't wait to kill me?"
The demon only frowned. "Leave us alone."
"And why should I do that?"
The demon was annoyed, Sasuke could tell. The sand escaping from the strange gourd on his back was evidence enough of that.
"She hates you. She doesn't want to be near you, because she knows you just want what you can't have."
Sasuke looked over at Kakashi, who looked utterly confused. "Whatever. I'll try, but I can't make any promises."
The monster nodded, and disappeared.
Kakashi looked over to his student. Sasuke, what's going on?
