Chapter 6: Sasuke
"Sasuke, get your ass out here!"
Sasuke was shocked at being found out. How long had Sakura known he was there? Then it hit him- his chakra signature; she was always the best of the three of them when it came to chakra. He slowly stepped out of the shadows and stood in front of her.
"How long?" expanding on the question wasn't necessary. He knew Sakura understood what he wanted to know.
She looked over to him, "The minute you saved Naruto from that sword." She slowly got up, walked over to him, and pulled him into a hug, wrapping one arm around his neck, as the other started to glow a light blue. Taking a step back she punched him dead center on his face. Sasuke went flying backwards hitting the wall behind him hard enough to leave an impression in the drywall. He slid to the ground and grunted in pain.
"You stupid, little bastard!" she whispered harshly as she moved to stand in front of him. "How long have you been here, to be a member of ANBU? How long were you here, while we were out there," she gestured wildly, "looking for you?" Sakura's voice rose in volume until she was yelling at the Uchiha.
Sasuke looked up at the girl who had at one time been his most devoted fan-girl, and smirked when he saw the anger written all over her face. "This is going well," he commented sarcastically.
Sakura kicked him in the ribs before turning around to sit down again. "You prick! You really are a teme." Sasuke pulled himself to his feet, walked over to where Sakura was and sat down next to her. "When did you come back Sasuke? How long have you been home?"
Sasuke sighed, "I've been here for almost three years now."
Sakura gaped at him with all the elegance of a goldfish. "What?! You've been here for almost three years? Why didn't anybody tell us? Why didn't you tell us? We've been looking for you; we were even told you where dead!" Sakura shouted. "Doesn't any of that matter to you?"
"The Hokage said that it had to be me that told you… and I haven't been allowed out of the village until very recently. I couldn't tell you until now." Sasuke told Sakura, knowing what she had meant to demand was whether or not they mattered to him.
Sakura got to her feet and paced back and forth between the couch and window as if searching for something to fill the silence that had fallen between them after his confession. "I don't love you anymore," she said abruptly.
Sasuke looked up at her. "You must know by now, that I never loved you the way you wanted me to, Sakura. My heart always lay somewhere else." The last part was mumbled in a tone so low Sakura nearly couldn't make it out.
The pink haired kunoichi nodded, "I know you never loved me; I just wanted to you know that I'm with somebody now, and I'm really happy."
Sasuke got to his feet. "I'm glad; just," he paused looking up at her wryly, "tell me it's not that Sai guy." Sasuke smirked when she turned to look at him a flustered expression playing across her features.
"Of- of course not!" she sputtered.
Sasuke smiled a small smile and asked, "How is everybody else? Kakashi? …Naruto?"
Sakura sat back down, the rage and indignation of a few minutes ago seeming to have passed. "Kakashi is doing really well," she smiled brightly as she delivered that piece of news. "I think... I think Naruto is good too, now that we're back home and he has his ramen again," she joked.
Sasuke's smile turned into a smirk, "Kakashi is doing really well? What does that mean?"
"He's just doing well," Sakura mumbled, flushing a shade of pink that matched her hair.
Sasuke's smirk became a knowing one. "He's the person you're with, isn't he?"
Sakura nodded. "Well- I think… It started about a year ago, but I don't know if..."
Sasuke placed a hand on her shoulder. "Just give it time, things just might turn out now that you're back in the village."
Sakura nodded again. "I hope so."
Sasuke squeezed her shoulder in a friendly gesture before turning back to gaze out the window. "And Naruto?" he asked not bothering to face her, "Is he with anybody?"
Sakura shook her head. "Nope; not that I know of, we've been gone for three years, and we didn't stay in one place long enough to really meet anyone." Sasuke nodded at her answer. "Are you with anybody?"
Sasuke looked over to Sakura and stated, "No."
Naruto made his way to Ichiraku's Ramen Bar where he was greeted by the old man who owned the place. "Naruto."
Naruto looked up at him and smiled, "Hey, old man."
He was pulled into a tight hug. "Finally back to eat me out of stock, eh? What will it be to start?"
Naruto smirked before ordering. "The biggest bowl of beef ramen you've got old man!"
The man smiled. "Just like old times."
Ayame smiled as she made her way over to them, "Hey, Naruto."
"So you must be happy to see your friends again?" the old man asked.
Naruto grinned when Ayame placed a bowl of ramen in front of him. "Yeah! I haven't seen anybody yet, though. We just got in about half an hour ago," Naruto explained before shoving ramen in his mouth.
"What about your old friend? You haven't seen him yet?"
"Old friend?" Naruto mumbled curiously.
Ayame elbowed her father in the stomach and glared at him before changing the subject. "How was your mission, Naruto?"
Naruto looked over to Ayame and her father, narrowing his eyes before answering. "The mission was good, just ran into a little of trouble on the way home," he paused to slurp up the last of his meal. "More please." Ayame nodded and headed back into the kitchen to get the boy another bowl.
"So what old friend were you talking about, old man?" Naruto asked once Ayame was in the kitchen.
Ichiraku looked around and he moved back a few steps before mumbling, "I'm going to see if Ayame needs any help in the kitchen," and scurrying away, leaving a very confused Naruto at the counter.
"Here you go." Naruto looked up and found Ayame standing in front of him, placing a new bowl of ramen on the counter. "Enjoy!" she smiled before going back into the kitchen.
Naruto quickly ate his second bowl before pulling money out of his pocket to pay for his meal, and leaving the ramen bar, only to head home. He slowly walked down the street to his old apartment. The Hokage had promised to pay the rent with the money earned during their three year mission so that he would have an apartment to come back to.
Sakura left Sasuke's home half an hour later, after staying to talk to him and get reacquainted. She told him about their three year mission, Kakashi, Naruto, Sai, the training they underwent, and the fact that she was Tsunade's student in preparation for becoming a Medical Ninja. Smiling to herself, she walked around the corner heading away from Sasuke's place.
"What were you doing in there?" Sakura turned around to find Kakashi standing behind her, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a familiar orange book.
"Oh, nothing," Sakura smiled brightly. "What are you doing down here?"
Kakashi looked up from his book, "Looking for you; didn't think I'd find you here of all places."
Sakura glared as Kakashi narrowed his one visible eye. "Just visiting an old place," she stated firmly.
"Do you miss him?" Kakashi mumbled as he looked over to where the pink haired young woman stood.
A smile split her face again, "Nope." Sakura told her lover honestly. Why would she miss him after having just seen him?
The copy-ninja hadn't been expecting that answer, and could only manage to utter, "What?" rather unintelligently as he gaped at Sakura.
Sakura walked closer to him. "I answered you," she told him, before turning and walking away.
Still slightly shocked Kakashi closed his book and slipped it into his vest pocket before jogging to catch up to her. "Where are you going now?" Kakashi asked this question marginally more intelligent than his last.
"Home; I'm in desperate need of a shower." Sakura said in a matter of fact tone.
Kakashi smirked underneath his mask, "You look fine to me."
She turned he head a bit to look at him from the corner of her eye, "Pervert."
Kakashi smiled as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer as they walked on. "Need some company?"
She looked over to him and smiled back. "Sure."

Sasuke watch as Sakura left his place and walked down the street before stopping to speak to Kakashi, they talked a bit before moving more down the road; Kakashi's arm wrapped around her waist securely. Sakura was smiling. "There you go Sakura," he thought, "just what you wanted. Now let's hope that I get what I want."
Naruto made his way home, as he walked down the road, he stopped when he saw Sakura and Kakashi out of the corner of his eye. He made his way over there to say hi, when Kakashi wrapped an arm around her waist. He was a little shocked when he saw her look up at him and smile and kiss the older man on the cheek. He quickly made his way out of the area before they saw him gawking at them like some sort of sideshow attraction. He didn't even know that the two of them were together. He was happy for them of course; he'd gotten over his crush on his pink haired teammate a long time ago, but it didn't stop the fact that his sensei and one of his best friend's were seeing each other without even having mentioning it to him from feeling a little weird.
He continued on his way home, and was half way there when it felt like somebody was following him. He started walking faster, hoping to lose whoever it was, or shake the creepy 'I'm being stalked' sensation, but the feeling never went away. He started running until he came to a corner and threw himself around it, pressing himself flat against the wall of the building. He waited a few moments for the person who had been tailing him to walk by, and grabbed them, pinning him against the wall he'd flattened himself against only a few moments prior. "Why are you following me?" Naruto demanded before he even bothered to look at the face of his stalker. He was shocked when he finally did look into the face of the person who had been following him and found a raven haired man with familiar dark eyes. "Sa- Sasuke?" the name was breathed more than it was said, and it fell off of the blonde's lips awkwardly.
"Hn," came the only reply.
Naruto looked at the man in front of him in shock. It had been three years and all the Uchiha could say was "Hn."? "What's going on?" the blonde questioned. Sasuke moved closer to Naruto as the other let go and pressed his own back against the opposite wall. "Why are you following me?"
Sasuke now stood right in front of him. "I was looking for you."
"Why?" the question came out in a whisper, as a thousand different scenarios ran through his head as to why exactly the Uchiha would be looking for him.
"I wanted to see you," Sasuke stated and then smirked when he saw the blush that was now on the blonde's face.
Sasuke looked up at the sky as it started to get darker out. There were rain clouds in the sky now, looming over head. He looked back down to Naruto who was still looking right at him, a dazed, confused expression showing in his eyes. Sasuke's mouth lifted at one corner, in a smirk reminiscent of his time spent on team seven as he moved his mouth closer to Naruto's.
"What are you doing?" the blonde asked, eyes still locked on the face in front of him.
"Nothing," Sasuke whispered into his ear. His smirk deepened when he felt the other boy shiver under him.
Before Naruto could say anything else, he felt the raven-haired boy's mouth on him. The kiss was hard, but gentle; Sasuke's tongue and lips were everywhere all at once, brushing against his lips, teasing them open so that he could get inside. Naruto stood in shock as the Uchiha wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him closer, and gasped giving the Raven the chance he needed to slip his tongue inside of his mouth.
Naruto placed both of his hands on Sasuke's chest and pushed until the Raven was a few steps away from him, giving the blonde enough space to run away, and leave him standing in the rain.
