Sakura opened his eyes after a few hours. Reflectively, she reached next to her, wherever her kunai was actually. But she reached into the void.
Startled, she straightened her upper body. What just happened ?! The last thing she remembered was that bright beam ... and two dark eyes.
// Sasuke !? // It suddenly crossed her mind and before she knew it, the same two black eyes that had saved her looked at. "Sa-Sasuke ....." she stuttered slightly, believing she was still asleep.
"Why were those behind you here ...?" replied a familiar, monotonous voice. Her eyes widened even more.
Four years?! ... It was four years ago, and the first thing he asked is why any Shinubis were after her ...
"Sasuke ...?" she asked again in disbelief.
But this showed no emotion, but still waited until she finally calmed down.
The rosebud looked around. "Where am I here ...?" Only now did she notice that she was lying on a small bed in the middle of a small hut. ""Safe ..." was the only answer she got, and she smiled slightly.
It was her vanished smile, her real ...

"Why did these Shinubis attack you .." he asked again.
"Why did you save me ..." she gave him only as a counter question.
"I just happened to be there and saw four ninjas beating a girl ..." he said and turned his head away.
"I only noticed later that it was you, so don't imagine anything"
Sakura smiled again. He was still the same, and yet she was glad to see him again. But why actually ?! She had sworn to hate him. He had betrayed her, he ran off when she gestured her love to him, had left her alone just to take revenge on his brother.
Sakura shook her head slightly.

Sasuke frowned at her. "What is it? .." he asked in a disinterested tone.
"nothing ..." she replied. After a few minutes of breastfeeding, she continued gently.
"And ... did you achieve what you wanted ...?" she looked at the floor.Sasuke who didn't know what she meant at first shook his head after a short time. "The coward ran away ... just ran away ..." he muttered angrily to himself and barked his fists.

For a while they were silent. "What are you going to do now ..." Sakura began carefully after a while. Sasuke looked at her. "Keep looking for him what did you think ..?"
Sakura touched himself lightly, so he didn't care that they hadn't seen each other in such a long time, he didn't care about her or the others ...

Slowly she got out of bed, but at the same time she staggered forward again.
Sasuke, who was leaning against a wall the whole time, stepped next to her with a single movement and held her shoulders. Only now did she notice that he had gotten older. Bigger above all things. His face was more grown up ... but nothing else about him had changed.
She looked up at him in surprise.
"You'd better get some rest." he said calmly and yet in a commanding tone.He pushed her back into bed.

Now he asked again. "Since you apparently have nothing more to ask ... I finally get an answer ...?"
"I beg your pardon? ..." Sakura looked at him with confused green eyes.
"Why were you attacked ..?"
"Oh .." found out the pink-haired girl. "Honestly, I don't know ..." she honestly admitted.

Sasuke sighed. "And why aren't you in Konoha? .."
Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Imagine, ... I've gotten stronger too and I'm getting A-U-F-G-A-B-E-N," she stated almost irritably.
Sasuke looked at her puzzled. He had never seen her so disrespectful and sure of being hit. A slight smile crossed his face. But this disappeared just as quickly.
"And what is your mission ..?"
"Mission Secret .."
He sighed again. "Well, if I am not allowed to know," he said and turned around. Sakura followed him with her gaze.
"Are you still working forhim"
Sasuke nodded silently ... and this time Sakura was the one who sighed.~ * ~ * ~
