Nothing
"You just left me there! I had no idea where you'd gone!"
It had been like this since she'd returned from the dinner party and found him reading in the living room. His brief peace had been shattered as soon as the front door slammed shut.
"I looked ridiculous."
Part of him wondered when she'd run out of steam.
"Did I do something wrong?"
Judging by the fists clenched at her sides and the fiery glint in her eyes, that wouldn't be anytime soon.
"Why did you leave?"
An unspoken me hung at the end of her question. Sasuke rubbed his temple to stave off an impending headache. Sakura was as loud as Naruto when she was worked up.
"Please talk to me!"
He had nothing to say.
He left because he was tired of entertaining the past. He left because he was bored. He left because-
'Could…could you please smoke elsewhere?'
Sasuke snorted at the Hyuuga's words and stood up from the couch. He left because he wanted to. That answer would not be sufficient for Sakura. She would want a deeper meaning.
She wanted to talk.
He had nothing to say.
Sakura trailed behind him as he walked to the front door and slipped on a pair of sandals. Nervous fingers reached out and grabbed the edge of his shirt.
"Where are you going?" she asked, the tangible fear of him leaving clinging to her anxious words.
"Out."
She had more to say, this he knew very well, but he didn't stay to listen. Once outside he squinted into the dark and made his retreat from the place he was supposed to call home. Without a destination in mind, he put one foot in front of the other and walked until sunlight peeked over the horizon.
