Cherry Blossoms (SasuHina)

1.

No ones POV

Sasuke stared at his daughter as she yelled in his face. Her face red and fists clenched. Her anger more then notable.

She finally stoped, took a deep breath and with tears running down her face she said in a soft voice.

"Do you.... just.... not care about us Tousan?"

Sasuke didn't even blink at the glare in her dark eyes, just like his, they looked at him swirling with sadness and longing.

Sasuke gritted his teeth making his jaw hurt at the strength he clenched it. Those same eyes even though they held nothing of her mothers color. They  held the same damn longing and sadness. It angered him he didn't understand why, but they just did.

"Sarada please! your Tousan is late on his mission-."

"How long will you be gone? another 10 years? Tousan we need you also. Why can't you be like the Hokage instead you just find any and every excuse to stay longer and longer away from us-."

"Sarada! Enough! your Tousan does what he has to do for the villa-."

"Kaasan stop with the excuses!"

The mother and daughter duo glared at each other both identical, same glare, same stance, and same fists clenched.

Sasuke without blinking looked away and towards the sun rising, he went around his daughter and wife, walking away not looking back.

He's always been a cold man. He's grateful he has a daughter but for so long even before he and Sakura united he's felt numb. Only way he knows he's alive is the accomplishments he does in all his missions.

He walked away and his head all of a sudden ached. Like if he were being being punched repeatedly on the head, his temples ached and throbbed. He ignored it, like always, and kept on walking.

After night finally hit he finally sat and stared up at the stars glittering the sky. He stared at the constellations, he wondered if life after death was really real. Was his Uchiha clan up there actually looking at him or were they ghosts following him around standing besides him.

Sometimes he felt like the second one, he felt like someone were next to him fighting with him giving him strength. But then other times he felt the opposite of that feeling as if someone were trying to bring him down. Sasuke leaned against a tree and closed his eyes. Without noticing he had fainted, into a deep slumber.

The figure that was watching him looked towards the stars and wondered if they were doing the right thing. Said person instead shook the thoughts from mind and quickly did the jutsu. A dark triangle appeared under Sasukes body and slowly, as if he were in quicksand, it enveloped him and dragged him in.

The figure watched until the end and then jumped in as well.

********************************

Sasuke woke up startled as he opened his eyes and the bright sun was hitting him in the eyes. He winced at how bright the sun felt. It burned his eyes and he winced. He frowned deeply he never slept so much he was always on alert so he would always wake up during the night, and this time he awoke until the sun was brightly in the sky.

He stood up and stretched cracking his neck. It felt stiffer then usual as if he had slept in a coma for days. He knows the feeling.

He swiftly turned as he heard a small step. He didn't show that he had heard anything and acted completely normal, but he kept listening for the next movement. He cleared his mind waiting for the next movement.

He turned ready to attack when a body up from the trees landed on him with a kunai to his neck.

"I win otousan!!"
