C h a p t e r 11

Am I never gonna be good enough for Sasuke? Am I just going to be an option? An alternate choice to consider? Why do I end up being the least of his list? Sasuke.. Answer me ..

Weeks have passed since our mission at Orochimaru's place. Sai and I had gone back to our usual routine's here in the village. We've never talked about what happened there, especially those words he said to Sasuke about Tsunade-sama. I would really want to ask her about it but fear creeps into me when I think about her reply.

"You are not allowed to pick any of Konoha's Shinobi, only regular people. It was stated very clear to you the reason, so why are you still pursuing Sakura? Just let her go..."

Let me go?! Seriously? He doesn't even have me to top it all. And I think he will never choose me.

I was already walking out of the hospital because my shift was done; I gazed at the setting sun drifting away along with hits rays of light. Then a thought got into me, I was walking my way to the Hokages place where I know I could find him there along with his books and experiments. I don't know what I'll say to him but I just want to talk to someone who seems to see the bigger picture ... Kabuto.

I found myself at his door knocking. *knock* and then I followed it with another two.

"Come in." His voice gave me chills; the hair at my arms reacted a little. I opened the door and found him at the center of the room surrounded with tables that's contains a lot of pilled books. Behind him are operating and laboratory stuffs, it was divided by the room with a looking glass and a sliding door. on the left side of the room is another open door that seems to lead to another part of his room. He is like a king trapped in a castle having all that he needs. I regained my view to him and found him surprised to see me.

"Ah, Sakura." He broke the creeping silence.

"Ah..ano , gome. I was.. ah. I .. aah" I was tongue tied, I don't know what I'll reason to him why I got there.

"It's about your mission at Orochimaru's den?"

"ahh, ye-yes. How did you know?"

"Shizune told me."

"Oh, I see." the feelings inside me were starting to ease.

"Close the door and sit here if you want to talk." He said as he positioned himself on his chair. I walked towards Kabuto with still a tensed and feelings full of shame. I know why I want to actually talk about this with him.

"Sasuke  ..." he said as I sat on the chair across him.

"ehhh. ahh ano .."

"I know what's going on your mind Sakura, I sensed Sasuke's attempts on reaching you. I saw him pinned you on the tree at that celebration."

"How did you  ..." I thought no one saw us.

"Sasuke is such a boy ever since. Wanting to reach something and beat anyone who is in his way. I only recognized his maturity when the War started, at the time where he actually knew the truth about his clan and Itachi. He had a better and clear view of his path to take. But he just don't know how to deal with his goal in reviving his clan."

"What do you mean reviving?"

"You see Sakura, it is very public that he wants to bring back the Uchiha clan but in a better perspective. I heard him talked about that with Juugo before and in reviving he needs a girl, and their best choice for him is Karin because she is an Uzumaki, good chakra control and and Uchiha strength is really something."

"Oh I see, that's why Juugo said that." I remember Juugo's words as it echoes in the corner of my mind .. Karin would be the better option between them.

"But as what I see right now Sakura, Sasuke is having his doubts with that option, I noticed his guarded emotions towards you. He is also considering you."

"But why does Tsunade doesn't seem to agree with that?"

"Because that change of emotions might just be part of his plan in being a Hokage, He said that he wants to be hokage remember? And if he marries one of Konoha's best konoichi that would give him a respect of the people and he might be using you as an advantage."

"Sasuke's not like that, he is a changed man after the war."

"Sakura, we don't know the thoughts  that are inside his mind, no one can read it. It will depend on Sasuke's choice and what you really feel for him. Cause for me, whatever path Sasuke takes I know it's the good for all and I am here to support him as what I vowed Itachi."

"Thank you." was all I could say, and I walked out of his room with a much determined thoughts.
