It Begins
Sasuke grunted as he removed his straw hat and put in on a table nearby. He was in Naruto's house. Good thing the dobe had a spare room because if he had to share a bed or a room with him, one of them would not be left alive the morning after. A small nearly invisible smile formed on Sasuke's face for a very short moment.
How annoying... Sasuke was now thinking to himself, the smile waning as he walked towards the window to shut it. Sakura didn't have to chase after Orochimaru like that. Orochimaru! One of the legendary Sannin! She must've been in a total rage for her to forget that. Sakura to go berserk. Sakura, of all people! And he thought she had the most self-control. That girl and her ideas! How clumsier could she get!
Ah, Team Seven. No... Not anymore. What are they now? Team Kakashi? Right. Since he left, it had only been Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi. They were Team Kakashi. Where was he again? Right, he was busy getting power from someone weaker than what he wanted to surpass.
"Shit." Sasuke cursed and clenched his fist as he bit his lip. The mere recounting of his actions made him angry and uneasy. How could he have been so blind - too blind! It wasn't worth the sacrifices in the end! Sure it gained him some power and jutsu. He had grown stronger now, that was sure. But was it enough?
Why did he not listen to Sakura? To Naruto? To Konoha?
Now he had become part of what his brother had become - a missing nin who turned his back on what and who used to look up and care for him. The difference was that Itachi, that depraved man, knew where to get strength, how to get strength and such things. And him... He thought he had grown stronger to lunge at Itachi from the front - face-to-face, what was he thinking! - only to fail miserably.
Sasuke frowned and threw himself heavily on the bed. He stared at the emptiness of the ceiling and for moments more he felt the silence. It had been so long since he had felt stillness in him and he began to wonder when he was going to feel it again. He was hoping to start anew in Konoha but what happens? Sakura had become a missing nin!
Naruto had told him he was not the reason for Sakura to leave. Right. Why would he think that? Sakura had a mind of her own. If she does something, let her handle it. It's her decision. It's her life.
What am I saying?
Sasuke sat up. If it's her life, what on earth is he doing trying to get her back?
Because she does not know what she is doing. She is clouded by anger.
"Silly girl." Sasuke murmured and lay back down. He will find her. He will talk to her. He will knock sense into her head. And he will have to knock her unconscious again if he had to.
But until then, he can not let anything bad happen to her.
And Sasuke's thoughts drifted to sleep.
