CHAPTER-12 AS LONG AS I AM WITH YOU

It was the next morning. This morning was oddly cold according to sasuke.

.. i woke up late today aswell, using my rinnegan is draining my chakra more than u expected. Either way i should conserve my energy for the mission. Sasuke thought while he got up ready to make his way to sakura's bedroom. Sasuke slept near the sofa in the living room while sakura slept on her bed in her bedroom. As he opened the bedroom door sakura was not to be found.

She left early today aswelll? Maybe she is still upset with what happened yesterday. Sasuke's thoughts get flooded with what happened last night.

"Sigh.." the uchiha exhaled whilst being in sakura's appartment all alone. Since he was alone he took his time to look at the photo's that sakura had displayed on her shelves.

"This is.." sasuke said as he picked up their genin photo that they took together as a team. Sasuke smiled as he was reminded of how dumb and yet innocent him and his teammates were. Seeing this photo it made sasuke regret leaving konoha, it made him regret leaving sakura all alone.

"Sakura.." sasuke whispered under his breath. Right next to this photo was sasuke's letter that he sent her for her birthday. He was never there for sakura when she most needed her. Suddenly his mind played back his memories with his elder brother, itachi.

"Nee-san! When i grow up right? We'll go on mission's together."

"Sasuke, by the time you get to that age you'll be in the academy with your own three-man-cell."

"Then u can be one of the members in that team! Or even better!!" Little sasuke said as he tugged his brother's arm. "Or you can be my jounin!" " I'll feel safe with wherever and whatever mission we do as long as i have you by my side nee san!!". Itachi was surprised by sasuke's words. And he agreed to do so.

Sakura must've felt the same way as i did when i was with itachi.. i should talk to sakura. I'll deal with kakashi later. sasuke said and got dressed up in his casual clothes ready to leave the house.

After a few minutes into leaving the house sasuke found himself in the bussing streets of konoha. He was clueless on where the hospital was and needed help on navigation. Right as soon as he needed help finding the right way, there stood the yellow -haired- idiot.

"Naruto" sasuke called out.

"Oh! If it isn't sasuke!" Naruto smiled widely.

"Do you know where.. the hospital is."

"Hospital? It's right to the hokage office. Wait, why are you going to the hospital?" Naruto asked in confusion.

"I don't have to tell you everything." Sasuke's eyes twitched.

"Pff- going to see sakura chan aren't ya?"
Sasuke glared back at naruto. "Do you mind?" He asked coldly.

"Uh-uh no not at all!" Nartuo swatted his hands. He was 100% sure sasuke was pissed and decided to shut up.

Sasuke then left the streets and made his way to the konoha multicare hospital. The street near the hospital was calm and composed. Well it was mostly because there were several guards guarding the hokage office aswell. The entrance to the hospital was big. He couldn't see sakura but he was greeted by a fellow colleague of sakura's.

"My! God!" She covered her flustered facd.

"Can i-"

"My my, what brings a fellow handsome shinobi like you to this mere dusty hospital" she said while clicking her pen furiously.

"I need to see someone."

"Then you'll have to get through me first"

it was obvious that she was flirting with sasuke but sasuke couldn't care less. In order to get away from the lady and get through he needed to present himself as a patient.

"I have a sharp pain in my chest, i need to see the doctor before i collapse and fall to the ground. After that I'll make sure the reason why i died was because of you. " Sasuke angrily gave her a cold stare.  After that life threatening statement she let him get through with a name tag on his shirt.

"Sasuke uchiha
Age-19
Doctor- sakura haruno"

"wait here sir, sensei is a little busy but she'll attend to you in 10 minutes." The lady said and left sasuke in sakura's office.  Sasuke took this as an opportunity to scavenger around sakura's office.

She has this picture here aswell.

"Hello there mr. .. mr-" sakura entered whilst reading sasuke's report.

"Sasuke kun?" She exclaimed. Sasuke turned around to reveal himself holding the photo.

"What are you doing here, are you okay?" She ran towards him and held his hands. Sasuke was startled by this action and soon was sakura after she realized what she did.

Sakura: i-im sorry for holding-

" it's fine." Sasuke said while intertwining their hands together.

"W-well are you okay? It's said that you had a sharp pain in your chest. Let me treat your wounds."  Sakura said worriedly.  But sasuke could not wait any longer.

"Sakura.." sasuke asked as he lowered his glare towards sakura's lips.

"Sasuke kun?" She asked.

"Sigh, do you really want to come with me on this mission?" He asked holding her hand firmly. It was noticeable that they were holding hands still.

"Sasuke kun, it's your decision-"

"Im asking you, do you want to?" He interrupted her.

"I do." Sakura replied sadly.

"Alright then. We'll go together." Sasuke replied. Slowly letting go of sakura's hands.

"R-really? You'll let me come with you?"
"Well it doesn't really matter, as long as your by my side you'll be protected" sasuke said. All though he thought that in his brain he actually said out the words.

Sakura's cheeks were warm and crimson red. Sasuke who was embarrassed from what he said also was overcome by a little hue of red on his cheeks. But he maintained his cool.

"Thank you,Sasuke kun" sakura replied while looking at sasuke with her glorious green eyes. Sasuke was taken aback by how green her eyes were and how he wished to stare at them for longer. Sasuke couldn't hold himself back as he helf sakura's face with his hand.

"Sa-sasuke kun.." she said knowing that this could be the moment.

"Sakura.." sasuke whispered quietly whilst closing his eyes. "You have some chocolate smeared near your lips."

"EHHH? HUH r-really I don't remember eating anything" sakura's entire face was as red as a crimson moon. Sasuke slowly caressed his thumb across sakura's lips in order to remove the chocolate from her face. This action made sakura squeal silently. Sasuke released her face and walked away from sakura.

"When will you be done with work?"

"Around 7pm, it's 6:30 right now. " sakura looked at the clock.

"I'll see you at your appartment then."

"Where are you going?" Sakura asked.

"I have to deal with our beloved old man" sasuke said as his eyes twitched. Sasuke then left the room.

"Beloved old man? Must be kakashi sensei that he's talking about." Sakura giggled to herself.

"Speaking of which.." she says as she looks at herself in the mirror. She stared at the place that sasuke caressed.

"I won't be easily tricked by you, sasuke kun." Sakura smiled.

Meanwhile with sasuke:
