Their Not So Love Story

Chapter Four

Sakura woke up the next morning feeling all well now. She then saw a tulip beside her. She stare at it and remember the day she gave some to Sasuke back when they were a kid when he was at the hospital. The tulip is not fresh anymore and it seems that someone put it last night. She snap out of her daydream when she heard a knock on the door. It is Yui.

"You'll be discharge today, I'm sorry I didn't able to comeback last night because the Raikage talked to me. Are you okay now?" He asked.

"uh, Yes, I'm much better now than yesterday" she replied with a smile on her face.

"I'll go get your clothes and things" then he leave.

This is not from Yui? She thought referring to the tulip on the vase beside her. Then who is it?

***

She change to her clothes after Yui left and put the tulip on her bag. Before leaving they ate first at a fancy restaurant with the Raikage and other officials.

"You don't have to bring me here" she said shyly.

"We're grateful of what you did to our villagers, without you we don't know what might happen" the Raikage said.

"As a sign of gratitude we give you these gifts. You may also visit our place anytime you want." They added and gave Sakura a lot of presents.

"This is too much" she said "I can't accept it."

"The patients you treated give those to you themselves as a thanks giving gift, you'll still going to refuse those?" The Raikage insisted. So she accepted it and thanks them.

They talk and eat and after that she was ready to leave with Yui accompanying her.

"You don't have to come with me, I'll be fine on my own." She said.

"It's the Raikage's order, I cannot disobey him." He insist and give her a warm smile.

They went off after the people at hidden cloud village bid her farewells. She's really happy that they appreciate her work.

It's been 3 days on their journey and it's getting late, so they decided to take some rest. There's a nearby inn so they went there. Sakura went to the female public bath.

"Relaxing" she uttered enjoying the bath. She notices a girl going outside looking weird. Suddenly, she sense a very familiar chakra.

"Sasuke-kun?" She whispered.

"Karin what are you doing here?! It's for male, you retard!" She heard a yell from the other side of the bath. "Are you possibly looking for Sasuke you pervert" added the voice.

Sasuke-kun? She thought and immediately change.

Walking out of the door she was frozen. She didn't expect to see him in this kind of place.

"Sa-sasuke-kun?" She uttered his name.

"Sakura" the ravenette look at her. He's the same guy she had and still in love with. That raven hair and the pair of onyx orbs looking straight into her emerald ones. She stood there, didn't know what to say. Suddenly, the girl she notice earlier cling at Sasuke's arm. She look at her then back at Sasuke who's still staring at her.

"Get off him bitch" said the man with a sharp teeth. He's probably the one who's yelling earlier. They were his teammate back before the war as she remembered.

Then, Yui came out. "Sakura-chan" he called but she still didn't budge. He look at her and tap her shoulder.

"Hey what's wrong?" He asked.

Sasuke and his company went off and that's when Sakura snapped out.

"Sasuke-kun!" She yelled and rushed over to where Sasuke is. She tried to follow them but it seems that they already left.

Yui followed her with confusion. Just what the hell is happening here?  He thought.

Sakura looked pale and shaking. He went to her and just in time he catch her before she falls to the ground.

"Are you okay?" He asked but get no response. He carry her into her room piggy back.

In her room..

"Thank you, can you give me some time?" She asked and he leave.

She still can't believe it. Sasuke is here at the place where they are. After 3 years, she saw him again! She don't know how and what to feel. Her whole body is trembling.

"Sasuke-kun, why did you leave me again." She said and tears roll down her face.

***

The next morning they decided to continue their journey to the Konoha. After couple of days they finally arrive. Yui rent an apartment to stay in and Sakura went into her own. They rest for a while before reporting at the Hokage.

Yui and Sakura told Naruto the whole story and he is glad that she is safe. And that the Raikage is very grateful. Yui said that he will leave after.

Sakura accompany the cloud ninja until they were at the outside gate.

"Thanks" Sakura said.

"I should be the one" he said. "Can I have a favor to ask?" Yui requested.

"Sure, anything" she shrugged.

"Can I hug you for last time?" He said shyly.

"Err," then Sakura hug him and tap his back.

"I wish I was him." He said sad.

"Oh, I'm telling you, you'll regret it." She replied and chuckled a bit.

He pulled back and took a last look on her.

"I hope that we will still be friends, take care!!" She waved and bid goodbye. He wave back and left.

"Such a tiring day" she said and head back.
