The sun rose and tenderly woke Sakura.
Yawning, she got up and went to her bathroom to get ready.
It was half past six when Sakura made her way to the gate.
When she got there, she saw Anko standing there.
"Good morning. What are you doing here so early?" Asked Sakura and yawned again.
"Me? I'll come with you." Anko said, which amazed Sakura.
"How long has it been since you had your last mission?"
"I don't know. I just want to come back from this village and experience something. Just being on guard will eventually get boring."
Sakura had to remember that she had looked at Kakashi in love the previous day.
She started to grin and thought Anko knew exactly what was coming.
"You're going with me about Kakashi, am I right?" Sakura asked, still grinning like a small child.
“Please don't tell him.” Anko said and blushed slightly.
"So I was right. I noticed it yesterday. But I won't say anything. You know that." Sakura knew something that nobody else knew and that always made her a little proud.
It didn't take long and Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, Zabuza and Kisara came running too.
“What are you doing here Anko?” Asked Kakashi, a little perplexed.
"I'll come with you. I haven't had a mission in a long time and I want to get out of here again. May I?" Anko asked, giving Kakashi a good-hearted look so that he couldn't say no.
"I'm happy to. I have no objection to it."
Kakashi is kind of happy that Anko was there. But he didn't know how she felt about him and that would put him to a tough test.

Kisara was still slightly irritated about what Kakashi was saying to her.
After all, it was her life, even if Zabuza had touched her too roughly a few times, there was something deep inside her that didn't encourage her to leave him.

Kisara and Zabuza didn't say anything to each other either, which made Sakura a little worried.
But how could she help them, since she knew next to nothing about them, just how Zabuza was back then and judging from that, he couldn't be good for her.

Kisara ran next to Zabuza, but didn't dare look up until he stopped.
“Kisara. What's wrong with you?” He suddenly asks, probably sounding a bit strange.
So he had something on his mind what he wanted to get rid of.
"Nothing, what should be. I'm fine." Kisara just didn't feel like talking to him at the moment, because it would end in an argument again.


Night was slowly falling and they arrived in Kirigakure. At first sight everything seemed to be fine, which is why Kakashi wondered why he was here at all.
But he would wait and see everything in peace before he would go again and continue reading his book.

Sakura couldn't wait to arrive to finally have Sasuke to himself so that he could continue to express himself.She was really looking forward to having him with her again and maybe a little closer.

He took her to his humble home, if that could be called humble, for it was huge.
"Kisara, would you please show them your room. I have to do it." Zabuza withdrew and did not make a satisfied impression on Kisara.
She did what he said, because now she was just his assistant again, who had to obey him and not be allowed to resist.

When she had shown all of her rooms, she withdrew herself and first went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Sakura, on the other hand, had other plans. Since Karin wasn't here, she took the chance and went to Sasuke's room.
She knocked several times, but he didn't answer.
She walked in slowly and called for him and noticed that he was in the shower.
Reluctantly she stood in the large bedroom and wondered if she should wait here.
But she decided to go again. Just as she was about to close the door again ...
“Sakura, stay here!” Sasuke called and Sakura opened the door for you again.
There he was now, only wearing a towel around his waist. Sakura immediately noticed his well-trained upper body and made her weak.
Individual drops of water still ran from his upper body in the direction of the towel, where they then disappeared.
"Come back in. I'll get dressed quickly and then we can go out again." Sakura went in and sat on the bed.
"You don't have to get dressed because of me." Sakura mumbled to himself, but Sasuke understood.
He just smiled and said nothing more to it.
He put on something comfortable and left the room with Sakura to go outside.

Sakura ran diagonally behind Sasuke and looked at him with eyes that were very similar to those of children. Dreamy and innocent, Sakura dared to approach him. They ran next to each other, but no one dared to say anything, although they had known each other for so long.
They came to a place almost as beautiful as this waterfall.
It seemed like a market square with a fountain in the middle. A kind of water feature could be seen, which was beautiful for Sakura.
The cherry tree had blossoms that fell gently to the ground.
Sasuke stopped and turned to Sakura, who also stopped.
"The moonlight makes you look so beautiful, Sakura."
Sakura felt very flattered and blushed slightly on her cheeks. So long she had waited for the moment when Sasuke did not act like a block of ice, but like a real romantic, even if you couldn't trust him to do that at all. Deep down, Sakura knew that he too could be a sensitive and loyal person.
"You have grown up in all this time and are just as beautiful as you were on the day I left.I'm terribly sorry for Sakura that I left then. I hurt you, but it wasn't easy for me either. There were many days when I wanted to go back to you because you were wherever believed in me. "
He brushed a strand from her face and his hand stayed on her cheek.
"Sasuke, that you would ever say something like this to me ... I've waited so long for this moment and now that it's here I don't know what to say about it. I missed you so much and it hurt. Every day I had to think of you, I cried very often. But when I knew that you would come back, all that was forgotten. My attitude to life had changed again, which Naruto had also noticed. Even he secretly knew that you would come again and was also happy. Sasuke, please promise me that you will never leave me alone again. "
"I can't promise you that, Sakura. Not yet."
Sakura felt uncomfortable around the heart when she heard this. In her the fear spread again that he would go again and leave her alone.
"Do not be afraid Sakura. I am with you and my love has finally found the way to you. It was a long way, but now I have finished this journey and my heart can rest with you."
Sasuke got very close to Sakura's lips with his own. That was the moment Sakura had been waiting for so long. To finally feel him very close to you and to touch him.
Sakura closed her eyes, which Sasuke did too.
Sakura's heart was beating wildly and she couldn't wait any longer.
She opened her eyes briefly and had to find to her horror that Sasuke was no longer in front of her, but a few meters further away, with Karin.
Sakura lowered her head to the floor and became sad. That Karin had to appear again was somehow preprogrammed.
In addition, she was so cheeky and just pulled Sasuke away from Sakura, but Sakura didn't do anything about it.
But then something happened that no one expected.
Sasuke was full of anger at Karin, so he gave her a huge slap in the face.
Sakura held her hand in front of her mouth because she was a little shocked.
Karin held her hand against her cheek, because Sasuke had slammed very hard.
"Karin, I took you here with me so that you are not alone and finally find friends and not so that you can control my whole life. It's my life and not yours. Karin, it doesn't do you any good if you keep talking to me about Sakura want to keep away, because I will always find a way to this beautiful woman. And do you know why Karin? "
“Why?” Karin asked in a low voice.
"Because I love this woman. You can finally see that."
When Sasuke turned to Sakura, she was gone. Sasuke only saw how she turned into the next street and looked very sad.“Karin, please don't control my life anymore.” With these words Sasuke ran after Sakura, but he couldn't find her anymore.

He took a deep breath and looked at the starry sky.
"Every time something comes up. I can't wait any longer."
Sasuke hurried back to the large Zabuza estate, hoping to find Sakura there.
First he went to her room, but she wasn't there.
While searching for Sakura, he met Kisara.
"Thank God. Do you know where Sakura is? I have to go to her urgently." Kisara looked strangely at Sasuke.
"I saw her earlier, and she went somewhere with Kakashi. I think they both wanted to see Naruto. Have a look in the great room. It's in the other wing of the room."
“Thank you!” Sasuke shouted and had already started walking.
"Love can be so beautiful. Why ... Oh well. I'll bring him his drink." Kisara made her way to Zabuza's bedroom to bring him his drink, as she did every evening.

Sasuke was now standing in front of the door that led into the hall.
Breathing heavily, he opened the door and saw first Naruto, then Kakashi and then Sakura.
She gave him a look that was very thoughtful, but Sasuke went blindly to Sakura, looked deeply into her eyes again, before he simply kissed her without making a hint.
Sakura was very scared at first, but then gave himself up completely and kissed him back.

“And I thought it would never work again.” Anko said and gave Kakashi a slight scuff, but Kakashi just smiled and scratched the back of his head.
"We should leave the two of them alone. We're going somewhere else." Kakashi, Naruto and Anko left the room so that the two could be undisturbed.

Kisara arrived at Zabuza's bedroom and always knocked before she entered.
But this time everything was different.
She went in and did not see Zabuza at first. She ran to a table and was about to put down the tray.
She turned around with her
