Sakura sat there, silent and still while hugging her knees. 

The Uchiha was also quiet and looked quite distant, as if he was in deep thought. They had both sat in silence after she had healed him, leaving Sakura to feel awkard and desperate for something to be said.

She breathed out, deciding to ask Sasuke about his injuries, though she was pretty damn sure the Dark Aura was to blame. "So how did you get injured, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked, resting her chin on to her knees.

She watched Sasuke breathe out before pushing his head back to watch the clouds. His eyes then remained on the sky for a moment before he stretched out his right leg. Sasuke then slowly got to his feet, using the tree he was leaning on for support. It seemed as though the Uchiha was trying to gain some sort of balance and walk again.

"You need rest. I only just finished healing your muscles. You won't be able to walk and moving now will only mean that your leg will start to get worse" Sakura explained in a dreary voice. Sasuke frowned, clearly irritated at his lack of control over the current situation. With a hushed growl, he sat back down again.

"Sasuke-kun... where are you going?" questioned Sakura with narrowed eyes.

"Enough with the questions!" retorted Sasuke, his eyes moving back to the sky.

"I can help you get there. You're exhausted and your muscles might work up again" she offered tolerantly. She wasn't really planning on helping Sasuke; She needed to get him out of the forest, in case the Dark Aura decided to hurt him again.

Sasuke's jaw tightened. "I don't need your help. I'll find what I need on my own."

Sakura clicked her tingue before situating herself in front of Sasuke, who removed his eyes from the sky to look at her. "I understand Sasuke-kun, so just answer this question for me. Will you answer it?" she asked him.

Sasuke's knees were bent, and so she edged forward, leaving only a short gap between the both of them. She was resting on her knees and her hands were placed lightly on her lap.

"After I answer, you will leave" Sasuke said irritably. Sakura nodded and then paused for a moment before continuing on with her question.

"After you took your revenge, you didn't come back. I thought... we thought, that after you completed your goal you'd come back to Konoha; that you'd come back home" she began in a soft tone.

"But you didn't because now you have other plans. And I don't know if what I'm saying is right but I want you to complete you plans, so you can feel satisfied enough to come back. You'll come back right, Sasuke-kun?"

Sakura looked at the man in front of her and noticed that his face was emotionless, but his jaw was tightened. She knew it would make him angry if she brought this up, but she had to try. For her friend's back home and for her teachers. She had to try expecially for Naruto.

"Come back for your friends who would risk their own lives to protect you, who would risk everything to bring you back. Come back for our teachers, Sasuke-kun, I'll help Tsunade-sama see reason so you won't get any severe punishment. She wants you to come back as much as everyone else. Come back for Kakashi-sensei... come back for Naruto" she said, her voice slightly raised. She didn't add herself to the list. Something told her that it wouldn't help.

"Enough!" shouted Sasuke. He looked at the her with a glare, his expression showing cold fury.
