The Spring Of My Life

Worsened Case

That sure was a nice shot Sasuke.
I think now you gotta grip of how the things will go on from now on.
Let's just see, how much you can endure. Oh, I forgot something very important. Congratulation Uchiha. But, what a shame, you can't even enjoy these moments fully with your oh so lovely husband.
You know, you should decide fast, as the time limit i gave you is ticking off every second. One and half weeks gone from two months.
Till then, have some fun with me, neh.
Hahahahahah haha.

Shut up, I promise this will be the last time you take control over me. Next time, I will not allow you, even if i have to face worsest of consequences.
Mark my words, You Have To Pay For All This. And I Will Make Sure You Do.

The dawn rolled on to morning. The heavy downpour is now turned into light drizzles. Tsunade entered her room with her discharge papers. She eyed Naruto's torn jacket.

"Did you two fought again?"

Naruto softly laughed on that question, "No, no Baa-chan, its just you know how clumsy I am. I was in a hurry and the jacket got torn from the handle of the lock. That's all happened".

Tsunade from the corner of an eye saw Sasuke. She looks lost, looking out of the window, crumbled up in a corner of her bed.

" Ok, fine. Here, I prepared discharge", she handed the papers to Naruto and called for Sasuke.

Sasuke turned towards her. Observing the papers in Dobe's hand, a little gleam played on her onyx eyes.

Tsunade adviced the couple about how to take care of the things from now on. She listed various do's and dont's and ordered both of them to strictly follow it.

Naruto with one hand carried the bags while with other joined a little smaller and soft hands of Sasuke. They were heading home now. Every now and then, he will take a glance of his beautiful wife walking besides her. Admiring the beauty, how her, now past shoulder length dark black hair softly move with air. How some of them covered her porcelain cheeks. But she wasn't even trying to remove them, as if she is distracted deep in her thoughts. Whatever happened this morning, surely made Sasuke go eerily quiet and disoriented sometimes. It was as if she is here, but she is still not. Her eyes looking down, completely blank, her gleam just vanished. Is she still so shaken with whatever she did unintentionally. Is she still blaming herself? Naruto cleared it, didn't he. He cleared it, how she is not at fault, then why can't she gulp up the fact and stop blaming and beating herself. That's the thing he can't understand.

On reaching home, she quietly turned into the bathroom, without even saying a simple "I am home".
If Naruto had any doubts left, now he is damn clear, she is still in deep thoughts, spacing out multiple times and acting so out of it.

" Sasuke, Can I join you?", he asked her. He was worried that she may space out again in bathtub and will drown in there.
But before he could walk in, the door slammed close on his face. Living with Sasuke for quite a while made it clear. This gesture means to leave her alone. To be honest, yes, Naruto is upset and irritated. But he still is willing to give her space as much she need.

Little did Naruto knew, how Sasuke slid on the ground in defeat as soon as she slammed the door and cried silently. She can't be this weak, there must have to be some solution to get out of all this. She is hurting Naruto along with her own. No matter how much it pains her, she can't hurt him, never in her life. However, she did the same thing this morning, she had hurt him again.
