Chapter Twenty-one:
The week went by fast for Sakura at college; she was just about done with her college classes from high school. Next term she would be taking courses to become a doctor; what she always wanted before he came into her life. She always wanted a normal life and after being a doctor everything would fall into place but Sai just had to show up and ruin everything. A frown crossed her features as she continued walking away from school. Sakura had showed Samiko and Natari the house and gave them a tour as she told them she needed to have a few areas to be rebuilt or take down.
Sakura told Temari to look over the twins a few times as they were missing their auntie and uncles. Sakura was getting along with the Reds members and even told them about her story. Sasuke and Sakura were also getting along good. Sasuke would sometimes tease her and instead of her usual cold demeanour, Sakura found herself laughing and even calling him something more offensive than he did. Sasuke never backed down from the challenge and she found her heart lifting up considerably unlike before.
Sakura cleaned the house on her days off while the twins were with both Auntie Samiko and Natari or with Temari and her brothers. This time Ryuu and Taytai were with Natari and Samiko for a sleepover, knowing that the dust and dirt would probably have the two sneezing half the day. Sakura had vacuumed the house, washing the walls and dusted the whole house.
She just needed to find a place to help her with fixing the house like she wanted it.
Ding dong
The doorbell went off; Sakura placed her bucket and rag down and walked towards the front door. Sakura blinked several times, pondering who it could be at the door. Once Sakura opened it, she saw Temari, Kankuro and Gaara at her door. Temari clearly had a displeased expression on her face, Kankuro on the other hand looked like he had been dragged over by the elder sister and Gaara maintained his usual calm expression. Sakura wanted to laugh at the three extreme differences of the three siblings but chose to keep quiet, seeing that she left them outside the door.
Sakura tilted her head innocently. "Temari, Gaara and Kankuro, what brings you here?"
Temari snorted indignantly while folding her arms. "You showed Samiko and Natari the house, but not us. We had to get the address from them. Samiko even told Kankuro want you wanted to do to the house."
Sakura smirked and then smiled, gesturing them to enter." Well come in then."
The three siblings took off their shoes before following the pink haired girl into the house. Sakura showed them the living room and how she managed to start designing despite the weight of schoolwork. The living room had a white textured wall with white cotton sofas and a glass coffee table in the middle with a single branch of a cherry blossom sitting in a short glass vase. The kitchen had sparkling cream coloured marble floors with the wooden shelves and cabinets completely varnished and polished. The cooking utensils hung neatly on the wall as Sakura beckoned them to the garden, noting that it was the hardest thing to fix among everything else. The three continued following Sakura into the house and immediately liked it. Kankuro remembered what Samiko told him and looked around. Sakura's ideas to open the dining room were better as they got a tour to the house.
"How is Sasuke?" Sakura inquired as she didn't have time to visit him in the hospital since he woke up last week.
Temari shrugged nonchalantly, taking a seat on the couch. "He is doing fine, and that he wanted to tell and ask you something. He didn't say what."
Kankuro walked out and looked at the front and back yards; he smirked and called someone on his phone. He talked to the person and then hung up. Then he walked back into the house and towards Sakura.
"Sakura, I have solved your problem, you know that I'm in College of Construction. My teacher is looking for volunteers, so the students can learn hands on training. What I'm saying is that my class and a few others would be working on the house and yard for free, so we can get credit, skills and knowledge to work."
Sakura smiled graciously. "Thank you Kankuro. I accept it. How long would it be done?"
Kankuro looked up to the ceiling, counting and running through everything in his head. "My calculator says around 9 months."
Sakura nodded her head, it was reasonable as most places would take around that time to done too. Sakura nodded her head at them as she smiled.
"Sakura, also my teacher is coming over and looking at the house." Kankuro indicated as a car pulled up and a male got out of the car. He was glasses on that were black and narrow looking, he was tall and he had on black pants with a shirt that was green.
"Kankuro." He knocked on the wooden frame, glancing at the other siblings. "I take it this is the house?"
Kankuro introduced Sakura to his teacher and then work out a plan to get the house to be done. Sakura also wanted the front and back yard to be done, but Kankuro's class and a few others were not land scrapers but they did have a few classes on that. Kankuro and his teacher ran through the plans with Sakura and how she wanted it to come out and added a few adjustments while she was at it. An hour later, Kankuro's teacher left the area and went home. Sakura talked with Temari, Gaara and Kankuro, while she check off every off to the house that was going to be fix. Sakura smiled again with relief and looked at her new friends.
They might be in a gang as Sakura learned that they weren't all bad unlike her last experience with a gang. Temari, Gaara and Kankuro left the house and let Sakura clean more. Sakura cleaned until the dust and grim were gone from the area she was cleaning. She looked at her cell phone time and it was time to visit Sasuke.
Sakura went back to Tsunade house and took a clean and cool shower; she got out from the shower after she was done. She dried herself off and walked into her room as she got into a pair of black pants and a dark blue tank top. Glancing at the house and how it now sparkled unlike before made her smile. Sakura glanced at her phone, realizing she now had free time. The pink haired female actually expected to take the whole day but seeing now that she had time and the kids were with Samiko and Natari – she had a bit of personal time and space for herself; something she barely had ever since then. Sakura walked out and into her car and drove off towards the hospital. Sakura looked out and wondered when Sai would be coming back for her. She knew he would never give up on getting her back. She would be ready for him when he came.
Sakura turned left and then right towards the hospital, she drove into the parking lot and took a ticket. She drove around and parked in a stall. She got out and walked towards the hospitals doors. Sakura walked into the hospital and walked over to the elevator. She presses the four floor bottom and went up onto the floor. She walked out and headed for the right side on the building.
Sakura looked around to see people pushing patients in wheelchairs as she continued to walk. She stop in front of the door and knocked on it.
"Come in."
Sakura opened the door and walked into the room to see Sasuke packing his clothes back into his bag. Sakura assumed that his stay at the hospital is over and he could go home.
"Hello, Uchiha…" She smirked as he turned to face her.
The male frowned slightly. "Sakura, my name is Sasuke,"
Sakura grinned before pinching his cheeks. "Oh I know, but it was funny to see your face like that."
Sasuke could tell it was becoming a true smile now and not like the ones she did at the beginning when he met her.
"Sakura, I heard your story." Sasuke watched her eyes carefully as Sakura looked at him and nodded when he told her that.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Sakura asked as she sat down onto the bed.
Sasuke followed her and said," Hn."
Sakura rolled her eyes at this and looked at Sasuke." Well."
Sasuke looked at her and smirked. "Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
Sakura blinked several times; where did that come from? She could barely raise her voice as a hoarse whisper jumped out of her throat. "Fine, but…"
Sakura placed his finger on her lips and smiled. "Thanks." He got up and took his bag and walked towards the door.
He turned back, gesturing her to follow him. "Well are you coming?"
Sakura stood up in shock as she followed Sasuke as he signed himself out and walked out with Sakura. Sasuke saw his brother waiting for him and he walked over. Sakura walked into the parking lot to get her car and back home. Her shift would start soon as she stopped when her cell phone went off and answered it. She rolled her eyes and that her second job was done and that it had closed the night before. The place wasn't up or working because of a faulty wiring within the place. Sakura got into her car and drove off; she stopped at the ticket box. She gave her ticket to the man in the booth and paid that man and slowly merged into the traffic. She went home and to see Tsunade talking with a man named Jiraiya.
She parked and walked into the house only to be tackled by her twins and Shadow. A huge smile curved up her lips, feeling her heart lighten up. The atmosphere didn't choke her as badly as it did before. Her body no longer trembled in fear with everything and everyone lightly laughing and smiling with her. She couldn't help but feel the wall she had built around herself slowly crash into nothing but dust as her twins continued to bombard her with questions. Smiling in response, Sakura played with the twins and soon went for a walk with Shadow.
…..Sai…
Sai looked at his next mission. He had finish two missions before this one. He had packed his guns and knives. The jet took off towards LA; the plane ride was only going to be two to four hours to get the LA. He read the mission statement it was to retrieve some information that a spy took from them. The spy took off in LA. Sai needed to find him before he went to the cops and ruin their life. Sai's mind was only completing this mission and then getting back his Sakura. His wife, breeder and mate, then he would teach her about himself again. He smirked at the thoughts; thinking about getting Sakura back always made him giddy. He drove off towards LA, when he would be looking for him. Even the worker ants couldn't find him at all. That would either mean he was in protection or dead. It was his job to make sure that the spy would be dead.
Hours later, Sai left the jet landing as he got up and went over to the door and smirked. Sai walked off the jet and his phone rung loudly. He answered it and laughed loudly; the worker ants might just live after all. The man was within a safe house that they own in LA. It seems that the spy was a fool to go there. He went into the car that he rented and drove off in the direction of that safe house. Once he got here. He parked a mile away to stay safe. He would travel on foot for the rest of the trip.
Finding the neighbourhood wasn't too hard as he managed to slide around inconspicuously. He took out his guns and his knives, glancing around for any witnesses. More bloodshed wasn't necessary but if anyone saw him he knew how he was going to get it from his boss. He walked towards the safe house. Sai could see it had lights on within the house, noticing the cameras. With one swift through, three knives pierced the cameras and lights as Sai crept along shadows and made it to the house. He gaze into the house to see the man holding onto a shot gun and was ready to shot at anyone that he could see.
He smirked at this and cut off the phone line and blocked the cell phone. No way out, Sai smirked to himself while continuing to make his way through the electricals. Then he shot at the electric box and turned off the lights. Sai went into the back door and rolled out of the way when the man came at him with a knife. Immediately rolling out of the way, Sai kicked the man's wrist to make him let go off the knife before planting a bullet straight in between the man's eyes. He stood up and kicked the man and confirmed that he was dead. A ghostly smile appeared on his lips as he wiped the man's hands with his fingerprints before leaving the shot gun behind and the bullet from the gun in his head along with the knife in his chest.
Satisfied, Sai walked out and headed straight back into his car.
A/N- I hope you like it. Sorry for making Sasuke oc in places on this story so far. It is just hard for me to write him-self like in the anime or the manga.
A/N- Here is chapter twenty-one. Six more chapters left to go and this story is completed too. I'm doing great with my goal. Thank you to my beta reader named Scarlette Shizuru.
