Gone (Sasuke Uchiha x reader)

chapter four

The next day, I woke up to a snoring Naruto. He had his arms wrapped tightly around me and he drooled on my shoulder. I couldn't help but smile. This reminds me of when we used to sleep over at each other's houses all the time when we were younger.

"Narutoooo," I said as I poked his cheek. "Let me go."

He sturred in his sleep "Come back (NN)." He mumbled and he hugged me tightly. "I'm right here Naru," I said soothingly and started stroking his hair. "Now wake up!" He still didn't wake up. I sighed and I pried myself from his arms. When I was finally released, I rolled out of the bed and walked downstairs.

'Seems like Hinata is still asleep too.' I thought as I headed into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and took out a bunch of stuff to make breakfast, then I got to work. I ended up making all the breakfast foods that I missed when I was away. I made Onigiri, miso soup, eggs, bacon, sausages, and a big fruit salad.

I have no idea how long it's been, but after a while, Hinata came downstairs. "Oh, you made breakfast. Thanks, but I should be the one cooking for you honestly."

"Well, I got up earlier and decided to just cook myself. Take this as thanks for everything you've done yesterday," I said. "Plus, It's been a while since I've seen a fridge... " I mumbled to myself. I assume Hinata heard that last part because she laughed and sat at the table.

"So, what's on the menu?" She asked.

I smiled. "Okay! So we have all the breakfast stuff I've missed, that you have, while I've been gone. I made Onigiri, miso soup, eggs, bacon, sausages, and a big fruit salad.

Hinata giggled. "It seems like you've had a busy morning."

"Yep!" I exclaimed and then ate a sausage. "Are you gonna wake up Naru soon?" I asked.

She shook her head. "He's been at the office so much he barely has time to relax or come home. I think he really needs this rest."

I set all the food on the table and sat with Hinata. "Well, I'm here now! I will be here to help you and Naru anyway I can, even if I have to drag his ass home myself, so he can get some rest."

Hinata laughed. "I've missed you so much ____."

"I've missed you too Hina." After I said that Naruto walked into the kitchen and yawned. "Good morning guys," He said and then kissed Hinata.

"How'd you sleep?" She asked him.

"Great! I panicked a little when I got up and (NN) was gone, but I knew she had to have been down here when I smelled food."

"I'm sorry for scaring you Naru, but I made breakfast!"

"Really? Great!" He exclaimed and sat at the table. There was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it," Hinata said as she got up. I say at the table and smiled at Naru. "I've made the executive decision to accompany you to work today," I said.

"Wait (NN) I don't think that's a good idea. You should stay here... where it's safe." Naruto said.

"Wouldn't I be safer by your side? DId Shika become your advisor? Oh, I'd love to see Shika today!"

Before Naruto could reply, Sasuke walked in and sat at the table next to me. "Good morning," He said.

"Good Morning!" Naruto said with a smile.

"Morning," I mumbled while I avoided looking at Sasuke. I could feel his gaze on me, but I didn't have the heart to look him in the eye. not after what he found out last night.

"Uh... the onigiri has tomatoes in it," I said to interrupt the awkward air.

"My favorite," Sasuke said before taking one. "I remember," I said as I started digging into my breakfast. Sasuke smiled slightly before biting into his Onigiri.

"So, like I was saying," Naruto said, "Wouldn't you rather stay here with Hinata and Sasuke?"

I shook my head.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"

"(NN) wants to come to work with me."

"I think it would be great! I've been cooped up... somewhere for Jashin knows how long, alone. I just want to be by your side. Isn't that the safest place I could be? Sasuke could even come with! That's double the protection!" I exclaimed. "And once I'm up to my full strength again, I won't need protection at all. Please Naru."

Naruto sighed. "Sasuke you're on my side right? I think it's too soon for you to be out and about. You haven't even been home for 24 hours."

"Hm... Well, we both know she'll do what she wants, no matter what we say. It might be too early, but she's been locked away for 15 years. I don't see the harm, since we'll both be there."

Naruto sighed. "I guess it would be better than leaving you here... plus you would be a great surprise for Shikamaru."

I squealed and jumped up from my chair. "Oooo I'm so excited! Wait- !5 years?" I said.

Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata nodded. I blinked with a blank facial expression. "I guess the village looks different now then." I finally said.

"I'll lend you some clothes to go out in," Hinata said. "Thanks! I'm gonna go take a glorious shower!" I said before waving and walking away.

I took a shower and changed onto the clothes Hinata left out for me. I groaned as I looked at myself in the mirror. I had on a black tank top, and a purple hoodie, which wouldn't zip up past my boobs. 'Stupid boobs.' I thought. At least the black shorts she gave me fit, even though they were tight, and showed off the curves of my hips and butt.

Don't get me mixed up. I'm not complaining about the clothes, It's just... me. It's been so long since I've really looked at myself. I look... different, bigger? Yea, everything was bigger. My hair had grown down to my waist, my boobs had grown a noticeable amount, and so did my hips, butt, and thighs. I doubt my old clothes would even fit.

I put on the shoes she gave me and walked downstairs. "Let's go to work!" I exclaimed as I jumped off the stairs.

Naruto looked at me, then choked on the grape he was chewing on, and Sasuke stared at me. "Uhm... Do I look bad or something?" I said as I grabbed onto my long, curly hair.

Naruto jumped up from his chair and waved his hands around. "N-No you look fine! Great, Beautiful even!" I rubbed the back of my neck.

"You look great ____." Hinata said. "I'm sure once the girls all know you're back, they'll wanna take you shopping."

I nodded and smiled. "I hope so, I feel bad for using your stuff... So are we leaving now?" I asked.

Sasuke stood up and Naruto nodded. I hugged Hinata, and then we left. I walked in the middle of Sasuke and Naruto.

"You're a lot shorter than I remember," Naruto said with a slight smirk. I glared at him.

"Shut up baldie."

Sasuke chuckled and shook his head. "Hey! I'm not bald! My hair is just shorter. Wait until you see Gaara's hair man."

I raised an eyebrow. "I'm... suddenly not super excited to see him... his hair at least." While we were walking, Sasuke grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers. I could feel my cheeks heating up, and I held his hand tightly. I saw Naruto glance down at our hands, and raise an eyebrow at Sasuke. 'Why is Naru-' Then it hit me.

Sakura.
