Holding On

Chapter 6- New Found Feelings

Sasuke's POV
I walked through the village. I had heard news about an explosion where the forest area in the village is. I decided to ignore it. I entered the dango shop where Naruto was seated at at.

"So why are we here?" I asked. Naruto frowned. "Sakura.. was captured by Orochimaru and Kabuto last night. We couldn't find a trace of her anywhere" he said. What the- how? I thought. Seeing how Sakura got strong was enough for me to handle but her getting captured was even more painful.

I hid the shock by staring at him blankly. "Go on..." I said. "The only thing that they found was that she was the one that caused the bombs to explode and that they wanted her because of her power" he said. I nodded. He told me everything that they knew about the capturing of Sakura.

I was now on my way home. I spent my whole day training and thinking about Sakura. I didn't know why the thought of her was bothering me but it made me have a weird feeling in my stomach. I entered my home and breathed in the smell of mint. I sat on my couch thinking.

To be honest I liked Sakura as a friend when we were all Genin and stuff. Now I like her more since the attitude and maturity that she gained. Also because of the fire in her eyes when she gets prepared for a fight. For some reason I missed that laughing and cheerful smile of Sakura. If she were the same she should have still been a bit weak but she atleast had more spirit and would enjoy every second of being around people.

When I was with team Taka and Karin would hug me I would think of her as an annoying slut who couldn't control her hormones. When it came to Ino I would be annoyed as well but not as much as Karin. When it came to other fangirls I would be annoyed as hell since all they thought about was me and what they could do with me. Then it came to Sakura. I wouldn't be that annoyed but I just acted like that because love never existed in my world since my parents and the rest of the Uchiha clan died.

Now I am pretty sure that I'm falling for her. I liked this new version of Sakura but I didn't want to get too soft in order to stay strong. I didn't want love making me weak just like when I had first wanted to kill Itachi. I layed back on my couch staring out the window seeing Naruto and Hinata walk by laughing. I smirked and decided to take a nap.
