"Sasuke-kun, wake up sasuke-kun" He heard a melodious voice.
"sakura"
"yes sasuke-kun, it's me. I am here sasuke-kun. I am here for you."
He saw her, as beautiful as ever, and her voice is a little deeper than before must be because she seeems older. she extended her hand towards him to take it.
sasuke hesitated in taking the offered hand, his brows furrowed as a million thoughts and scenarios started consuming his mind.
'didn't he left konoha, shattered those bonds which made him weak.'
' if he accepted her hand, will it mean that he's weak again'
' but he still had to kill that man, and for that he can't afford to be weak'
'he can't be weak'
He shook his head violently.
'he can't be weak'
No...No..
'he can't be weak'
' he can't accept that hand and that treacherous sweet voice which is compelling him to forget about his revenge'
'he can't '
'to defeat his akatsuki brother he h-'
'oh that's right, sakura was killed by an akatsuki, wasn't she '
so when he looked back at the supposed sakura, he only saw a corpse. A corpse with dead pink hair hanging from its skull.
He screamed. Not beacuse it was a corpse and he was scared but because it was the corpse of his beloved teammate.
he screamed with grief and pain of loosing her.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
He woke up with a jolt. he was standing infront of a vault.
It was a Genjutsu.
'That's right, we were in leaf. there must be a genjutsu placed around this vault. And a high level one at that. even my sharingan couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion.'
his eyes narrowed.
'i underestimated konoha and let my guard down.'
he could sense five people surround this building, most likely Anbu.
He let a smirk grace his face. 'i would not make the same mistake again'
a few minutes and five quiet thuds after, he was once again standing infront of that vault.
The five Anbu out cold and tied are hidden behind the building's backdoor.
Using his Sharingan, He quickly found the required combination and opened the vault.

"home sweet home, un" whistled the blonde. As he settled himself on the couch.
"we were only gone for a month, deidara" He lifted his legs and placed them on the table.
"But it still felt like a whole year sakura-chan , that shori-"
"roshi" she corrected. As she sat with her teammate And nudged his legs off the table with her own leg.
"yeah, roshi was one hard rat to catch, un," he exclaimed and glared at her for removing his legs. he was very relaxed in that position, un.
"yeah, well." she looked around the cozy house , unfazed by the blonde's temperament.
"where did Sasori-kun go off to?"
Just then the front door opened and the the red-head walked in the living room , where the two were sitting and sat two packets on the table. As he claimed the armed chair.
He watched as two pairs of eyes stared at him, then at the packets and back at him.
"Lunch", he simply said.
deidara's eyes sparkled as he exclaimed with delight, " I knew you had a heart, not that squishy white thing with writings on it which i always see ,but a real heart, un."
sakura just stared at sasori. he stared back, he knew what she was thinking.
She doesn't like to eat infront of him, she thinks it is unfair to him as he couldn't eat. She feels eating infront of him will hurt his feelings.
Even when she is well aware that he doesn't have feelings, He once told her that. Or enlightened her, as deidara would say, about hsi lack of emotions.
But Sakura have feelings, or what is left of them.
he slightly narrowed his eyes and she got the message.
She took the remaing packet on the table and started eating its contents. It was tasty.
it was a wonder , she mused , that Sasori who doesn't really have any real feelings, or that is what he always insisted, cares enough to always bring food that she likes.
He was starting at her. again.
he knows that he stares at her a lot. But he can't help himself.
He just can't seem to understand this little creature or puzzle that sakura Haruno is.
She cares that she would hurt him by doing things that he no longer can because of his puppet body.
she cares about his well being. Even when he is no longer a human.
why does she care, even when he removed her ability to care.
what an irony.
Haruno Sakura, who once with every fibre in her being, wanted to destroy him, kill him, now cares about his fucking feelings.
