Fountain of Youth
Recap:
A very groggy Sasuke rolled over letting his eyes flutter open.
"Oh god my head.." And from half awake to fully alert in less then .2 seconds. Hm, very impressive Sasuke,
"I.. I.. How.. Wah.." Looking around the room, he was in his old house.
"How could this happen.. This can't be.. I-it was burned to the ground.."
Sasuke looked down at himself.
"Holy shit."
End Recap
This is an author's note, just so you know they have cell phones and what not. I know they don't in the anime/manga but oh well. They are going to play an important roll in the story. Now I also wrote another time travel fic that I didn't like and I said I was going to write another which as you can see is this one. I'm not quit sure what I'm going to do with it yet so please ideas and opinions are very welcome. I hate when people put A/N's in the middle of a fic it's just a pet peeve of mine so nothing personal to those who do put them in. And yes Sasuke will be slight OOC just so you know. Thank you for your time and I hope you read this so you're not confused. Thanks -Kiwi
Sasuke's eyes widened in awe. As he looked down at himself.
What is this? How could this have happened? This must be a dream.
Clenching his fists "Heh..." Sasuke scuffed. He felt the insane power ruling his veins.
Just a moment ago he was bathing in a beautiful fountain and now he's been reunited with his family's house. What in the world is going on?
He smiled and laid back against the headboard. The room was filled with the bright lights of the suns raise.
The Fountain of Youth
For those who regret
There is still a tinge of hope
He smiled. " I see what you mean. Thank you.."
He had no idea who he was thanking, but he was too happy to care. "What day is it?"
"How could this happen to me.. I've made my mistakes..Life goes on and I-" Sasuke quickly picked up the phone, shivering at the depressing ring tone.
"Uh.. Hello?"
"Sasuke-Kun! Are you okay where are you?! Are you sick? Sasuke-Kun! Sasuke-Kun are you there!" Sasuke let out a soft chuckle as he hear Sakura's worried tone pierce his ear drums. So this wasn't a dream after all.
"Don't worry Sakura, I'm hear and better than ever."
"O-ohh.. Okay. Well I'm glad to hear that. Umh, did you forget about training? Kakashi-Sensei is already here."
"Hmm.. Must have slept in a little too late. I'll be there in a little while Sak. Just let me get dressed."
"Ahh.. Sak? O-ohkay Sasuke-Kun. S-see you soon." Sasuke chuckled as the phone clicked off. You could almost hear the blush on the girls face.
Just as he said, Sasuke quickly slipped some clothes on to his nude frame and made his way to the familiar both of the training grounds.
Sasuke plastered a smile on his face as the wind rustled his messy hair.
"Oi! Teme! You finally made it! Slow bastard!"
Sasuke picked up his pace as he approached team 7's training grounds. His heart almost skipped a beat as he saw all of his former teammates. By god he had missed their faces. Every last one of them, well, some more than others. Sasuke let the smile fall form his lips, he had to act natural. You can't go from a cold hearted bastard to a happy, loving person in a night.
Oh well.
"Ah. Gomen, Kakashi-Sensei."
"It's alright Sasuke, just try to be on time next time. You'll make our team look bad if this is a regular occurrence."
"YOU'RE ALWAYS LATE SENSEI!" Naruto growled leaving Kakashi to a soft chuckle behind his mask.
Sakura smiled looking at Sasuke. "Good morning, Sasuke-Kun."
"Hn." Giving her a soft look that would make any girls heart melt. Softly biting her lip, she quickly looked away.
"A-ah, Sensei? What will we be doing today?" Sakura said shyly, still trying to recover her normal colour.
Sasuke couldn't help but stare. Was she always this beautiful? Why was he just noticing now? Maybe he did, maybe he was just to blinded by the thoughts of power, Itachi, revenge to see the actual needs in life. He would not mess it up this time. He wanted, no needed her and Naruto. He would make great decisions this time around. He wouldn't go off on the path to revenge. Would he ever be as strong as he once was ? Well, he would have to play things by the book for now. He didn't want suspicion to rise in his teammates.
Sasuke-kun...
Sasuke-Kun...
The raven shook his head as the smooth, familiar voice floated through his head.
"Sasuke-Kun? Are you okay?" A blush crept it's way to his face as he could see the pinkette inches from his face. "Uuhh.. I-I.. Uh, yes. Yes.. I'm fine, Sa-ku-ra."
Sakura smiled, a very soft elegant look plastered her beautiful face. "Okay, Sasuke-Kun."
Training seemed to last forever, he could barely stand the way Sakura looked in her genin outfit. She was almost unbearable. I guess this is what you get when you completely ignore your hormones through out the years.
He left out a soft sign as he walked the familiar path to his estate. 'Shit! I think tonight is the.."
He bit the inside of his cheek as he eyed the minions of Oruchimaru. Tonight was the night Sasuke would leave the village.
"It really is a second chance.." Sasuke whispered to himself, clenching his fists tightly in his pocket. This would be the night Sasuke would take Sakura up on her offer. "I have to keep everything going as planned. I have two hours to get to the outskirts.." Sasuke grumbled softly to himself. He would not make her cry this time.
Quickly, Sasuke bolted in his door and packed the bag he had originally brought the first time.
"This is my chance to make things right, I'm coming, Sakura."
Glancing at the the nightstand in his bedroom, Sasuke stared at the picture of team 7, as he had done before.
"I won't let you down this time guys. I won't cause you pain anymore, I just want your love.. Please. Accept me." A lone tear fell down the pale cheek of the once none avenger. He wouldn't fail them any longer.
He let the tears fall freely, he hadn't done this since the day he killed Itachi. The pang in his heart will always be there, he loved his brother so very much. He wanted to meet Itachi and tell him of what has happened. Maybe in the future he would receive the chance. He would not ask anymore favors of fate at the moment. Fate may be very cruel, but at this moment there as never been a kinder person.
Swiftly, Sasuke made his way toward the door. He would do everything right this time around.
Walking this path made his heart break. He new he would not make the same mistake twice, but he kills him to know that the mistake was done in the first place.
"I-i.. I knew you would come this way." Sasuke's ears perked up. Is it time already?
The avenger stopped in his tracks with his hands shoved deep into his pocket.
"What are you doing here so late?" Granting her an answer with a cold expression.
"I-i know what's going on but... D-do you remember when we were first assigned to team 7?" He could hear the soft sniffles in her voice as she spoke.
" You hated me so much.. and all I could do was chase after you. This is also the place.. Where we shared that moment together.. Y-you said I was annoying.. I was so heartbroken yet determined to make you take it back.."
"I-i guess I should thank you. Y-you were my inspiration to become stronger.. You and Naruto."He stood there in silence, his heart slowly breaking.
How could he have put her in so much pain?
"Say something!" A sob escaped her lips, she was trying to hold back.
"God Sasuke, I love you so much I can barely stand it! P-please! If you stay here I'll make sure everyday is fun and you can stay here with Naruto and Kakashi-Sensei and.. If you can't stay then.. T-take me with you...
"Why won't you say anything!" Sasuke smirked turning around slightly to look at her.
"Because, you're annoying." She was in shock. Sakura could barely breath.
Taking a step closer to the man she had just confessed her love to. "P-please! I-if you run I'll scream and-!"
Quickly teleporting right behind her, "Sakura." He said with a different tone in his voice.
"I love you, too."
And then everything was black.
Well, that's the end of chapter two I hope everyone liked it. I couldn't remember all of what happened so I just kind was like fuck it but you know. I hope you enjoyed and once again comments, ideas, opinions always welcome. Thanks, -Kiwi
