Chapter 3

*At the Hokage's office*

"Lady Tsunade, you wished to see me?" Sakura had arrived at the office in seconds.

Her speed continues to amaze me thought Tsunade.

"Yes. Now I want you to remain calm and" Tsunade stopped. A thought ran through her head and she looked up. Sakura was standing there with eyes that hadn't lit in 4 years and by the looks of things, that's not likely to change. She's calm even on assassination missions. "Err. Never mind that. I just wanted to tell you...he's back."

"Who?" Sakura had stiffened and looked around suspiciously.

"Let them in" the Hokage told Shizune. A group of ninjas walked in, Sakura stopped breathing when her eyes landed on their leader.

The leader was a well built, tall man with raven hair with stoic onyx eyes. His attire was nearly the same as the black one he use to wear but he had a black cloak on top. Clinging onto him was a red head with matching eyes. She was wearing a purple top and shorts that were way too short for her own good. Behind them were two more men. One wearing a purple shirt and blue pants and had white hair, the other was wearing a blue shirt and a cape. He had orange hair.

"Uchiha...Sa...s...u...ke" Sakura hissed out. Tsunade had shrunk into her chair, almost in fear of what was going to follow. Sakura grinded her teeth together and kept her head down. Sasuke looked at the girl in from of him. No way...this is Sakura? He thought. She's so different...

"Sakura" he nodded his head as a greeting. "Long time" When Sakura looked up, what shocked him the most was her eyes. They were filled with coldness and were void of any other emotion other than anger.

"Uchiha, did they drag you back or did you come back willingly?" Her voice was only a bit louder than a whisper but somehow, he caught every word.

"Willingly, I have a goal here." Sakura took three steps until she was only a step away from him. Sasuke, for some reason, took a step back. During all this, Karin was getting really angry. How dare these people treat me like I'm not here! So that's the pink haired beauty that lives here. I'm prettier than her. Karin continued to look at Sasuke and Sakura and listen.

"I'd love to continue talking but I should give you a warning first." Sakura pulled Sasuke's shirt until his ear was next to her face. Then in a whisper that only he could hear, she said "From now on, be careful" Karin's face was red and was about to slap Sakura back but Sakura had already pushed him back. Not waiting for a reaction, she walked up to the Hokage and said goodbye. Sasuke expected her to walk up to him and start fangirling and telling him that this coldness thing was just an act. But how wrong was he.

She walked passed him without a word. But along with silence came a Chakra Enforced Punch to the Stomach! Sasuke was blasted through the door and slammed into the wall creating a giant hole. Karin was screaming her head off and cursing sakura. The other members just looked really shocked. Karin ran up to Sasuke and started fussing over him. Sakura walked right passed them. But she suddenly stopped. She walked back to him and kneeled down. Karin was now a bit frightened of this girl. As Sakura leaned towards Sasuke, Karin leaned back and fell on her butt.

"I nearly forgot. Welcome back, Sasuke" She said his name as if it was poison to her mouth. With that she walked off, without a word. Sasuke could only stare after her. Karin also stared after her but in horror.

"HOW DARE SHE HIT MY SASUKE-KUN!?"

"Oh Burn man~~! I like her already!" cried Suigetsu. Jugo just looked concerned about Sasuke.

When he tried to get up, he winced. Tsunade had gotten out of her seat and started walking towards him.

"A few broken ribs" she said, analysing his body. She quickly healed them. When Sasuke stood back up. Karin reached to steady him which Sasuke pushed aside.

"Sasuke Uchiha, you will under house arrest for a month and if you go outside or anywhere, Anbu will escort you. The same treatment will be given to your team mates after we find them a place to live. Now..."

"No need for me, I'm staying with Sasuke as I am the future Mrs Uchiha" interrupted Karin. Tsunade glared at the girl who dared interrupt.

"No Hokage, she will not be staying with me. Please continue" Karin pouted but didn't say anything.

"As I was saying, that is all. You are all dismissed." Sasuke limped out with the rest of his team. Once they were out, Karin started to piss them all off.

"HOW DARE SHE TOUCH MY SASUKE-KUN!?" Sasuke was getting really annoyed at her. At one point, he was urged to punch her but thankfully, the ANBU who were in charge of finding them a home had come to take them away. Sasuke wondered alone to the Uchiha household. When he reached it her found it clean and shiny. He stood there in wonder. Who had cleaned it for 4 years? He wondered around and when he entered his room, he found his desk all neat and tidy. He was really surprised that someone would be bothered to clean up a person's house that was considered a traitor. But he pushed aside that thought and immediately collapsed on his bed. My stomach still hurts...
