Never-ending Miracle

 

Chapter 1: The Return

 

“Sasuke!!!” Sakura's voice broke though the humid night air as she sat straight up in bed. Her forehead moist with perspiration, she got up and walked to the kitchen, getting herself a glass of cold water. As she filled the glass, she thought five years back when she confessed her feelings to Sasuke. Memories flooded her head as she took a drink, determined to stop her heart from racing.

 

“Sasuke-kun…”

“What, Sakura?”

She stepped forward a bit, a small blush forming across her pale cheeks.

“I uh…I love you…”

Sasuke just smirks.

“Sakura…Go away…I find you annoying…”

 

After getting though that part of the memory, she slammed the glass down. That was five years ago. Why does it matter now? Sakura walked into the bathroom, looking at the shower clock she had sitting by her sink. It was 2 in the morning, so she decided to take a hot, relaxing bath to lull her back to sleep. She started the bath and began to undress. When she reached back to unlatch her bra, she stopped and looked in the mirror, then quickly turned around, swearing she just saw Sasuke's smiling face behind her. She pressed her back to the sink and took a deep breath before taking off the rest of her clothing, then slowly slipping into the steaming water. Sakura sighed with relief.

“Ahh…that feels good…”

She slowly closed her eyes; only to open them, looking to where she heard a small rapping. Sakura decided to ignore it for the time being. She soaked for a few moments until the fatigue hit her again. Sakura slowly got out of the bath and dressed in just a t-shirt, Sasuke on her mind as she laid her head on her pillow. Her thoughts drifted back to when she had cut her hair to save him.

“Wow…it looks really good Sakura…I think I like it better…”

 

Just then, she heard the knocking noise again. Slowly, she got up.

“Yea? Who is it?”

She tiredly walked to the door and unlocked it. Since when did people come to see her at three in the morning? Sakura opened the door, slowly at first, then pulled it open quickly. She gasped at the man who stood in front of her. It was none other than: Uchiha Sasuke.

 

 

Sasuke looked at the well-formed woman in front of him. Was this really the Sakura he knew? Without thinking, he quickly picked her up in his strong arms, holding her close. For the first time, Sakura heard something that she would only dream of hearing from him.

“Oh…Sakura-Kun…I've missed you…”

Sakura blushed a bit, then pulled out of his grasp. She studied him for a few seconds, forgetting that he was standing in the hallway of a small apartment complex. Sasuke returned the look, then crossed his arms.

“Aren't you going to let me in?”

Sakura shook her head a bit, then quickly nodded.

“No…I mean yes...” Then her anger quickly took over “What's with you showing up after 5 years without so much as a good bye?! I was the one who cared about you the most!!! And you think that you can just come and appear on my doorstep and ask to come in?! What is wrong with you?!”

Sasuke just stood there in awe at her outburst. Quietly, he spoke, his voice calm and cool.

“Well…you still love me right? And there is something that I need to tell you…And yes…I can show up on your doorstep…Its rude not to let someone in…”

Sakura blinked a bit and opened her mouth to say something, but instead just sighed and stepped to the side.

“Come in, Sasuke-kun…”

Sasuke gratefully stepped inside. This was a new sight for him. Her apartment was small, only a couple of chairs and a small TV were in the living room. No dining room, only a tiny kitchen that had a small window, sink/stove combination, and a small fridge and freezer. Sasuke caught a glimpse of the bedroom. It was fairly large with a dresser and a bed with a red comforter and white sheets that happened to be big enough for two people. A slow smirk appeared, then left as Sakura turned around. Her hair was a mess, and she looked really hot in the white t-shirt.

“Sasuke…you can sleep in my room…On the floor…”

Sasuke blinked a bit, not understanding.

\”The…floor?”

“Yes…The floor…” Sakura looked at his eyes, and then gave in to the sad, disappointed look. “Alright…. Fine….You can share the bed…But you better stay on your side!!”

Sasuke followed Sakura into the room, watching as she climbed into bed and snuggled under the covers. What was wrong with him? Why did he find her attractive, especially after being gone for so long? He climbed in next to her and lay there, staring at the ceiling in thought. The feeling will be gone in the morning… He thought before finally falling asleep.
