It's Just a String『ただのひも 』

「 二 」

Sasuke was half awake because of a loud obnoxious noise creating by a very familiar voice.

"—Oi teme! Quit hovering at Sakura!!"

"Naruto you will wake them up. Let them b—"

"No! The last night was enough I can't—!"

When Sasuke is finally awake, the first thing he feel was the heavy thing on his arm and second is he have a sight of Kakashi holding back Naruto's head.
The third is he saw what was the heavy thing on his arm.

Sakura's head was rested on his arm while she's in near inch closer to him. Their body facing each other.

He was caught off guard and slip out a noise that made Sakura stir in her sleeping form. Rolling to the other side releasing Sasuke's arm in her slumber.

Sasuke immediately got up saying nothing. Feeling heat got up all over his body.

He said he was going out for a walk and leave them not waiting for a respond.

While Naruto saying things about Sasuke enjoying the whole thing happened starting last night.

Sakura wokes up after half an hour after that scene.
The first think she says is that's the first time she sleeps well last night.

No one dared to talk about what happen during her sleep. Not even their loud-mouthed teammate.

By the time Sasuke has returned from his walk they started to continue their journey towards their destination.

There was a scowl painted on Sasuke's face.

"What's wrong Sasuke-kun?" she asked him when she notice expression plastered on his.

". . ."

For a second he glared at her and said nothing.

It puzzles her because why would Sasuke glares at her for no reason at all.

The surrounding was quite.

Peaceful.

Except the fact that she notice Sasuke always avoids her even meeting her gaze.
She tries to talk to him talking on nonsense but he kept blowing her off.

Maybe he got annoyed to me that he doesn't even want to talk to me.

It gets her anxious, wanting to know why is he doing this to her but said nothing in the end.

When they were near to Nakoudogakure, Sakura looks at the woman they're escorting and the baby she's holding.

"I think your Husband will be happy."

"He will. He always wanted to have a son. And now. . . It's all thanks to you that I safely deliver him." Mei said thankfully to Sakura.

She shyly scratch her temple at the praise given to her. "It's no big deal! I think others will do the same."

"But you are really amazing Sakura-chan! I didn't know you're under training with Baa-chan."

Naruto said peaking through the side of Mei.
