Hime: Everybody is cheering for SasuNaru hahahaha xD
Sasuke: *smirk* Goodbye filthy harem bitches!
Ino & Sakura: NANI?!
Hime: *sweatdrop* I own nothing...
"I see…" Tsunade finally says after hearing Sasuke's story about the painful flashbacks.
Kakashi nods, "In your professional medical opinion, what do you think could be the cause?"
The blonde Hokage frowns, her expression thoughtful as she speaks carefully, "Your theory is highly possible Kakashi. I agree that by seeing Hinata more often than before, the buried memories surfaced due to the frequent exposure however, the fact that pain is involved is what worries me. Pain is the body's way of telling the person that something is very wrong. The intense pain Sasuke is feeling in her brain is definitely something that concerns me. You are going to see the Yamanaka clan right?"
"Yes" Kakashi tells her as he moves his hand to rest on Sasuke's shoulder as a supportive gesture.
"Naruto and I are coming along too Tsunade-sama."
The Hokage nods her approval, "Very well. Keep me updated. All of you may leave."
As Team 7 were walking out, Shizune came walking towards them with a bunch of paperwork. Naruto decided to help and went over to Shizune after telling his teammates and his sensei to go on ahead. When he entered back to Tsunade's office, she was waiting for him.
"I'm glad you picked up on my signal Akuma."
Naruto snorted, while Sasuke was telling her story she noticed that the Hokage had put a middle finger to her temple like she had a migraine which was a shared signal she used with himself and Hinata to come back later to speak with her in private.
"What's wrong this time?"
"Have you heard from Hinata lately?"
The younger blonde frowned, "No, why? Did something happen?"
"I want her for a mission but she hasn't returned from her assassination job in the East yet. Sai is becoming anxious because he hasn't heard a peep from her. The two of us were hoping you might know something."
Naruto's frown deepened and he crossed her arms, "I don't know anything but if it's taking her longer than expected which means obviously something has happened. Have you sent out anyone?"
Tsunade nodded, "Sai was insistent. Hopefully, he finds something."
"So do I."
Shizune stood at Tsunade's right and she together with her master could see it, his worry, his care and concern playing on the boy's face. He loved Hinata dearly; they were best friends, thick as thieves and as close as siblings.
"It's Hinata. She'll be fine Naruto. She'll come back home."
Naruto sighs deeply, running a hand through his messy, golden blonde hair. He certainly hoped so. He hated feeling anxious for anything.
Come home quickly idiot…
Sasuke felt nervous, really nervous.
What if the pain becomes too much?
What if Ino's father screws up my brain?
What if something is wrong with me and I can't be a ninja anymore?
What if I die?
"Oi Sasuke!"
Sasuke turned to see Naruto, looking down at her with concern in his eyes. The dobe was wearing a white shirt with a red swirl on the front complete with navy blue baggy jeans, sneakers and a denim jacket.
It was nice seeing him without orange, he was much more easy on the eyes that way. Sasuke started to blush and Naruto watched, deep in thought as well. He figured she was nervous but he didn't expect her to look so panicky as she paced up and down in a frantic manner in front of the Yamanaka flower shop.
Sasuke's hair was messy like she just hopped out of bed heck even her clothes looked ruffled yet her blushing face as she looked at him was still cute.
Sasuke always did have great skin and still do. He remembered the way she brushed against him and the feel of her fingers on his face when she touched him. She felt warm which was surprising considering back then, he would call Sasuke-teme a cold and unfeeling bastard.
Sasuke Uchiha had changed and Naruto knew he needed to figure what the hell he was feeling towards her. Sasuke was pretty, he admitted that long ago but seriously calling her smile beautiful? Calling her flushed, embarrassed face cute? Since when did he ever think this way? He needed to sort out his feelings quickly, if he was really starting to like the Uchiha, his guard would slip and he would need to be careful.
Troublesome…
Sasuke was feeling a little naked at the moment, for some reason Naruto was looking at her with so much intensity, she half expected a fire to start on her clothes or her eyeballs or something.
"D-dobe? W-what's up with you?"
Naruto opened his mouth but he didn't get any words out because Sakura came into the scene yelling for Naruto. He turned and greeted her warmly much to Sasuke's annoyance.
Stupid stupid Naruto...
"Yo"
Sasuke looks up to Kakashi's face looking down at her curiously, "You alright there Sasuke-chan?"
The girls scowls, annoyed by the suffix but Kakashi just grins in response. He grabs Sasuke by the arm, dragging the Uchiha toward the shop but Sasuke wasn't ready and tried to protest.
"No no! Let go!"
"Now Sasuke we need to do this!"
"No!"
Naruto sweatdropped, Sasuke was acting like a child.
Damn, never thought I'll see the day.
Sasuke pulled back and Kakashi pulled forward. It went back and forth for a good two minutes before Sakura finally lost patience. She stomped to where the pale-skinned girl was, pinched Sasuke by the ear and dragged her inside as Sasuke whined all the way leaving Kakashi and Naruto to stare after them dumbly. After a while, they finally went inside.
Sasuke was tied up, to a chair because Sakura didn't trust the Uchiha to keep still. Inoichi and Ino walked into the room, studying Uchiha curiously before looking at Sakura who was sternly hovering over her. Naruto and Kakashi sat at the table, Kakashi was reading his porn book as per usual while Naruto watched his teammates with a worried expression.
"Naruto!"
The blonde boy blinked before turning to see Ino's familiar, warm smile, "Hey Ino-chan!"
Ino hasn't seen Naruto in a while and she was so happy her father allowed her in to observe. Sasuke however did not like this predicament at all.
"Why is she here?"
"She's just going to be on standby in case anything happens uchiha-san. Don't fret."
Sasuke snorts and Ino glares at her in return causing Sakura to sigh, "Guys can we just get this over with?"
Ino's father nods in agreement before pulling up a chair. He sits down in front of Sasuke and asks her to relax but he could see that she was still very anxious. He tells her that he is a professional and he promises not to do anything more than necessary meaning invade her privacy or other things like that but Sasuke was still tightly wound up. Inoichi tried to sooth her as much as possible. He even got Ino to bring flowers and light up scented candles but Sasuke was still agitated! Even his daughter was getting frustrated.
"Would you fucking relax?!"
"Shut it you cow!"
Ino gasped, very offended by what the dark-eyed girl said about her before going back to insulting Sasuke. This went on and on and Sakura wondered how long it'll take for them to stop so she sat back and watched.
"Bitch!"
"Tramp!"
"Transvestite!"
"Dumb blonde!"
"He-she!"
"Brainless!"
"Heartless!"
"Ugly!"
"DUCK-HAIR!"
Sasuke gasped this time, completely in shock, "You bitch! How dare you fucking say that to me?"
"The truth hurts doesn't it?!"
Sasuke screamed in frustration and her eyes flared up the Sharingan. Sakura stepped in before things could get any worse, "Enough! Both of you!"
Kakashi sighed, this has been going on for an hour, "Oi Sasuke-chan, this isn't an interrogation could you please relax and let Inoichi do his thing?"
"Shut up you ass! It's not my fault okay?"
Naruto covers his mouth with his hand to hide his scowl, feeling a little annoyed with Sasuke. Just what is wrong with her? Then, all of a sudden, Naruto remembered something Hinata had taught him years ago.
Damn...but if it has a chance to sooth Sasuke, it should work…
"Hey Sasuke, focus on your breathing for a few minutes will ya? I got an idea!"
Everyone turned, confused and watched as Naruto got out of the chair and walked toward Sasuke, grinning as if he won the bloody lottery. Sasuke wondered what he was going to do and froze when she felt his hands on her shoulders.
"Focus on your breathing Sasuke. Just trust me alright?"
Sasuke closed her eyes as Naruto moved his hands down her arms gently. Somehow, she felt warm and to everyone's amazement Sasuke began to relax. Naruto continued touching her tenderly, his callused fingertips tenderly brushing against Sasuke's smooth skin. Everyone watched as his hands travel up her neck, the side of her face then to her collarbone. Ino and Sakura had no idea how Sasuke could be so calm. If they were in her position, they would freeze up with Naruto touching them like that.
Naruto finally stopped after a while and he moved away before gesturing to Ino's father to do what had to be done. Carefully, the old blonde man put his fingers against Sasuke's temples.
"Yamanaka Secret Mind Uncover Jutsu" he whispered.
Then it began.
Sasuke: *ducks a kunai thrown by Ino* Lousy aim blondie!
Ino: I'll get you!
Sakura: *jumps out of nowhere and tackles Sasuke*
