veni vidi vici

“There you go” She says, between joking and serious.

Sakura has a (medic) name for it, how it was called? Problems with sensory integration? Sensory disintegration would be? Well, whatever name it has this thing, she is the only one who understand how his high sensory skills works.

Even when he was just a child, he remembers always being very selector when it comes smells and textures: He wasn’t the type to play with dirt, not get dirty unnecessarily. Rough edges put him in a very bad mood (why the avocado has to be like that?) but touching some soft surface…

…Maybe that’s why he loves his tomatoes that much, that fruit is the perfect fusion between sourness and acidity, even has a little in sweetness in them, and the sking – Ogh! That perfect red circular shape skin!

But there are few things he can stand, like the smell of her skin.

The smell of Sarada.

The smell of the house. Always clean. Always tomatoes on the fruit stand. Always homier. Even when Sakura puts those damns incenses while he is away, and they still remind in the air when he is back, the smell of his home is… unique. Pure. delightful.

“So, what is the verdict this time?” His wife asks him, when he enters to the room. Is always a little funny when he takes a deep inhalation all over the place “What it is smell like?”

Now there is something spicy… It can be the ginger tea his wife has on her table. Or those snacks Sarada eats before bed.

“Normal” He respond, taking away his cape, folding it in his lonely arm “Would you-“

“I got it mister smell” She walks until she takes his cape, and then she inhaled deeply on it “Wood, campfire…hmmm” She takes another sniff just to make sure “Maybe humidity, hm?. So you were at Kiwigakure, or I ‘am worng?”

(didn’t I mention he was married with someone with an amazing brain?)

“Maybe” He teased, walking to the bathroom

“Oh! C’mon, Sasuke-kun!” He hears her says as he enters to the room “At least tell me if I’m right!”

She has been practicing. Or she did know where he was going in this mission. But how would she know about that? Is always a secret he has with the Hokadobe.

She slides the door (angrily), and looking at his husband (naked torso), she extend one arm so he can put his vest and shirt. Looking at him, she smell it vigorously, triggering a smile on his face “Is Kiri!, I know!”

“You sure?”

She putts all of his clothes in her nose, frowning. Sasuke is just about to laugh at that “I think - oh no, you did that to me last time too! I’m not gonna fall this time!, so not, Sasuke-kun, I’m 100% sure, you were in Kiwi, the Humidity is that strong!”

“Mizu”

She rolls hers eyes, that was it! How she didn’t think of that? Again. He wins this game again.

(He come closer to her, and putting his clothes on the floor, he stars unbuttoning his quipao.)

“What did you eat today”

“You would never know” She smiles, shaking her head “I washed my teeth five times today, floss and everything” She does this big smile where she shows all her teeth “See?”

“Rice” He unbutton the lowest one “Miso soup” the second button “…dango? I thought you were quitting sweets”

“I wa- I’am!” She is so frustrated she doesn’t notices her quipao touching the floor, besides his pile of clothes “I eat a totally different thing. You are wrong”

One big hand on her spine. Her cheeks suddenly red. He pulls her together, so their bellies are touching. Her breath is increasing. When he became so near?

“I…I’m”

“lying?”

She snorts. But put both hands on his neck.

“Is good to have you back”

Down-up circles on her skin. It makes shivers down her spine.

“Is good to be back”

When they kissed, he smells her.

“So i went to this new hair stylist and...”

And you stoped listening. What was the point, anyway? the dobe wouldn’t shut up his mouth even if you beging him (not now. not ever) Every single time Naruto begin to talk about his freaking hair, is a ball in the snow: it gets ridiculously bigger and just... he won’t stop.

So you walk by his side not even bothring to nodd at him or to even look at him. You are so over this topic. In fact, you have things much (oooo, so much important) that his horrible hair anyway. Like the supermarket list, o thinking about your dog.

Popping is a better topic that naruto’s hair. And that is SOMETHING to say about you, mister always clean.

“...and here it is”

“hm”

“Not, really. Bro i know you mind goes off when i talk, but you always follow and damn you need a haircut. You really are starting to look like your crazy uncle? the Madara guy? what was his thing anyway? singing the nazi anthem on christas, do you remember?”

How could you forget it.

You look at him. What is the point of replying to his babbling?

It send you to nowhere.

Naruto blinks two times and then tilt his head, smiling slowly

“Men, you really are a freak”

“hm?”

Naruto shakes his head

“Look, just go inside. She will work on that nest of birds you have there” he points to his black hair “you will thank me later, teme”

“Have you even see you hair?” You respond angrily “Really. have you ever check yourself in the mirror? you look ridiculous”

“Just go inside!” He takes you by the shoulders and push against the door “She is waiting for you!”

“Who?!”

“Well” The door opens up, and this girl with freaking pink hair is look at both of you a little creptic “Me”

You don’t like people who dye theirs heads, but for some reason, she seems to rock that pink color like anyone he has seen before.

And men, you have seen a lot of things in this life.

i just have the worst day ever and then made it to home and saw this.

You guys made my day...so awesome. I just don’t have words.

So i’m so sorry this took me so long (?) but just recently i was inspired by Ino on this one. If you are lost, this is the next chapter of “I found your alien”

“So, Sakura-chan, this is tem-Sasuke, my best friend…”

“-self-proclaimed friend”

“…and your date”

The girl in front of him blink two times, looking at both man. It takes time for her to actually start a conversation

“My date?” She asks to Naruto, in total confusion. She looks at Sasuke and then to Naruto, who is (still) smiling “Oh? Oh! I see now, that’s what you used ‘casual thing’ like fifteen times? I thought you were just kidding or incredibly persistent-“

“nagging is the wright word to describe him” Sasuke interrupts.

She smiles “Oh? Yeah, maybe”

“See? You see that? I’m so awesome!” He put his arms in each other shoulders, smiling profusely “you barely know each other and you are already making jokes! I so gonna drees up myself as a cupid for Halloween this year, dattebayo!”

“Ja!, now I know you” The blonde one points a Naruto without leaving her eyes from her cellphone “you are the loud mouth on my philosophy class. You dattebayo is that recognizable”

“oh! And you must be the youtuber girl. Kakashi-sensei might be millionaire with all those go-pros he has requested from you, you know? What is the deal with recording everything, I have seen your videos and they are boring af-“

“You son of a b-“

“Ino” Sakura stops her friend before she can do anything else “Why we just… like, enjoy this afternoon drinking some coffee. You like coffe, mhm? Maybe you could even record this”

“He is so NOT gonna be on my youtube chanel” She points to Naruto.

He sticks out his tongue “like I would”

“So! somebody told me this was the worst date ever and I wanted to see on first row so I don’t miss it” Ten ten smiles at everyone while tending the menus to both girls “Nobody told the guys you first wait for the lady to arrive and then you both order and THEN you actually eat. Neanderthals have more manners than these two”

“Don’t worry” Sakura says, taking her menu “According to Naruto, this is a casual thing”

“Oh! I see” Tenten nods energetically “well, anyways, I will charge all of this to Naruto’s credit card, so you are free to order whatever you like” she winks at them “Read the menu from the end, that’s where are the most expensive meals”

“Hey!”

“I think I’m leasbians of you” Ino smiles sincerely.

“What is that?” Sasuke snorts at her

“Youtube language” Sakura answer, looking at the menu “Ino has notices if she talks strange, more people see her videos”

“Name this “the dattebayo video” Naruto shouts, swinging in his chair “you would have a ton of followers!”

“I’m so not doing that” she retorted, angrily “And they are viewers, not followers. That’s twitter you fool”

“And I would like some green tea” Sakura stand her folder between Naruto and Ino, trying to ease the tension “and your sweetest cake, please”

“our sweetest cake is the most expensive one” Tenten grabs the menu, chuckling “good choice”

“And I would like your biggest latte, please. I have a lot of editing to do tonight”

“ok. Something to eat?”

“No. I’m on a liquid diet: a challenge of thirty days”

Tenten whistles “Wow girl. How many days have you been doing that?”

Ino keeps quiet, so Sakura answer “today is her first day”

“Oh…okay. I-…hm, your order will come right away”

When Tenten fades, Naruto brings his chair close to the table and put both elbows above it. With his fingers he makes a bridge that holds his chin, and smiling, he asks to his friend.

Sakura: *kiss*

Sasuke: I don't like that.

Sakura: *smiles* yeah, i know.

Sasuke: it's repulsive-

Sakura: absolutely

Sasuke: -disgusting

Sakura: Totally

Sasuke: So just to make sure i don't like it-

Sakura: mmhm?

Today we open the first clinic for children’s mental health known over the five nations. A clinic whose foundation was based on a word: Hope.

Because hope is the motivation that keeps you from closing the door. Hope is that voice that tells you to never give up. Hope is love, companionship, life. Hope is all you have when you have lost everything.

Giving these kids the tools to remake their lives is the least we all can do. Mental health is an issue everyone in involve. I Know for fact how your life can change when you have all the conditions to become a better person, and I also know how those circumstance can knock you down when you are alone.

But this isn’t about me, but them. This is our battle against selfishness, destroying it with unity. We fight against injustice and discrimination with empathy and understanding. We have to take care of all the mistakes we made, and make amends with our past to progress in our future. Remind our children they are worth for what they are, not for that they lost.

Thank you for all the people who believe in this idea, in our dream. Thank you for trusting in our children. Thanks to all the people how give us a chance to be, to create a network based on faith, and mental health.

Sasuke helps Sakura with stretching

Sasuke is sitting on the sofa reading a scroll when he can’t stand the six-consecutive grunt his wife does from the kitchen. From the living room, he can hear her cutting a (poor) carrot with too much force. Angrily.

Sighing, he asks what’s wrong with one glance.

She points at her back, tired “My back is killing me! I need to stretch”

He puts the scroll away.

“C’mere”

She cleans her hands on her apron, looking at him intriguing. He doesn’t repeat anything, but points to where he is standing. She takes place just in front of him, and he points to her feet.

“Touches your ankles” He commands.

She smiles, knowing where his train of thought took him. When she does what is command, her spine cord stars cracking when her hands touches the floor. She closed her eyes, smiling. It already feels good. She should have been doing this just this morning, why she didn’t do it before? Oh yeah! The work and Anata and- oooh? What is--- hng?!

Her breath got caught up when she feels anata’s hand on her lower back. Her back extremely close to his….uhum. Little by little, he stars to push her towards the floor, stretching more. Oh! That’s was it! He is helping her to stretch…he doesn’t want that, not at his hour of the day! How could I think of that? Ugh! He is pressing to hard! Is that his…?

(!!!)

So early already?! But- but!

“Tadai-! Oh my good, you guys!” Sarada screams, face flaming. “Can you do you dirty thing when I’m not around! Gooooosh!”

Angry footsteps. Verbiage. Door slamming.

Sakura: Did you see that?! you see that? That's totally our girl! shannaro!

Sasuke: mmhm. Good Sharigan control for her age.

Sakura: Did you see what i saw? That punch was everything! she knocked down the enemy with that!

Sasuke: it wouldn't work out without the sharigan.

Sakura: but that punch-

Sasuke: Sharingan

Sakura: But-

Sasuke:...

Sakura:...

Sasuke:...

Sakura: Okay. she has both, okay? she is OUR child after all, but let's agree she knocked down the enemy with-

Sasuke: -Sharigan (smirk)

so, guess who can draw hands!

The lines are thick like that because i don’t draw from pc (doesn’t have any wacom or that sort of thing) So! old schooling girl takes a picture of her drawings and photoshoop them. I try to improve, so any comments or suggetions will be receive

Sum: Sakura did accompanied Sasuke through his orochimaru’s times. But Orochi send sasuke to kill her. Both have 14.

Sakura is behind that door.

They shared room since they abandoned Konoha. She has insisted on sleeping together because she can’t sleep if he is not right next to her, and maybe he does too, but she doesn’t have to know that.

She is probably reading one of those medical text orochimaru has on his library. Since the very beginning, sakura’s personal mission has been neutralize every poison Kabuto has made up. None of them works for a prolonged amount of time, but it worked well enough to make you live one day or two, resisting until medical help arrives. For a fourteen-year-old girl is a good accomplishment, but just like Sasuke, Sakura wants more. Do more.

She waits for him every night. The first thing she does is examine his body, searching for wounds.

She will be a god medic-nin. She is paint for it.

It would look suspicious if he just enters the room without a bruise, so he takes his chokuto and make an extended wound on the palm of his left hand. This would serve as a distraction for her, so she won’t notice…

He opens the door.

Just like he though, Sakura is on her mattress, messy bun and a scroll on her folded legs. She looks up and places the scroll beside her, standing up.

”Sasuke-kun” Her eyes look at him, up and down. Down and up “Your hand is bleeding, sit down so I can’t heal it.”

Sakura didn’t had to become so obvious if he did notices the wounds orochimaru does on his body while sparing. More than once he has dragged his feet to his room, Sakura catching him every time he passed out.

“Leave it”

Sakura insist, walking though the room until she is in front of him.

“Is on the palm of your hand. If I leave it there, it could mess with the way you blade your chokuto. Is on your dominant hand, Sasuke-kun, just let me see it, it would be painless-“

“Sakura”

Their eyes connect.

“No” she frowns, reaching with her fingertips his blooded ones “whatever you may think… it won’t work”

“Leave it” Even when his mouth says that, he doesn’t move back his hand. She is touching him, the tip of her fingers slowly turning into green aura “I mean it. Is a reminder”

That seems to make it work. The green color fades away.

“A reminder? A reminder of what?”

“tonight”

Sakura seems lost at every passing moment.

“why would you like to remember this night?” This is it, the moment where she is beyond pissed “What happened on this night that is worth to remember, leaving a wound on your dominant hand? Sasuke-kun, whatever it is, is not worthy, you wouldn’t have to hurt yourself to remember something. I can assure you, there are other ways. We could-“

Sakura.

His voice is so gentle and deep she swears her head did it. He has placed that wounded hand on her shoulder, making her dress turn into red. There is something very wrong (and very wright) on his actions today. Sasuke has never – never - initiate a touching session, nor has shared that kind of look with her. He seems troubled, like he has this huge, huge! Pain he can’t let go. She feels her body becoming numb, the kind of moment before you faint.

His eyes turn red. But she knows he isn’t going to use that on her.

Sasuke is suffering. Sasuke is suffering. He is…

Realization hits her, hard.

“Sasuk-“

Sakura.

His eyes. Red. He is going to….He is…

Daisuki.

Sasuke catches her when her head hits his shoulder. through his clothes he can feel three tears she managed to spill. Both of his hands reachs her neck, hugging her. Time seems to fade when he can feel her heat, her smell and her weight against his body. Sakura is his last barrier, the last connection with Konoha. If he manages to let her go, he will become an avenger for real this time.

Maybe he wasn’t ready at thirteen, not when she asked him to join him. He couldn’t say no, he always was selfish like that. But at thirteen you are a boy who can’t comprehend the consequence beyond acts. Now he knows better, now he knows this was a big mistake. Sakura is losing her essence. She screams at night, searching for Naruto (you have to help me Naruto, I can’t bring him back, please, help me), her eyes are turning grey each passing day. Even when she is careful not to show this side of her, Sasuke knows her, knows her feelings like is on his own.

She belongs to Konoha. She doesn’t have to keep company to him. It never did on the first place.

He puts her on his mattress, careful with her head. And even when she is unconscious, he whispers a final request he prey for it to happen.

“Go back to Konoha… you belong there. Go with Naruto and Kakashi. You still can make it, you still… people there are missing you, there is no one there for me like there are for you” He pulls one of her hair behind her ear, his voice turning a warm murmur, his lips coming closer to her earlobe “but if you remember me, the I don’t care if anyone forgets”

And lived.

Genin days

“What do you think, Sasuke-kun? I can’t believe Kakashi-sensei gave us one free afternoon! Just when is festival time!”

Just his luck. Another delay on his journey.

With nothing better to do, Sasuke watches the stands of cheap costume jewelery with no interest whatsoever, Sakura’s talking and babbling beside him, making surprises faces at the merchants, or at a fish koy.

Annoying.

“Sakura-chan! Come over here!” Naruto waves his arm to the air, standing outside a food truck “They have some fine dango, dattebayo!”

Sakura’s eyes flashed with joy. Sasuke frowns when she walks away to buy some well deserve food.

“Your friend is taking away your girl, boy” Sasuke turns his head, looking at the fat lady in front of him. A clairvoyant sign adorns her post, so in other words, she is a woman with nothing better to do but mess with him.

He rolls his eyes. Go figure.

He doesn’t respond, instead he looks at the odds and ends she is selling (not waiting for Sakura at all). The woman looks smart enough, she will take the hint, his bow of silence.

“You think you are bothered because I’m talking to you” The woman continues, a playful smile on her face “but you are frowning because she walked away from you. You both are attached by the red string, oh! I really can see that, is that visible between you two”

The red string was one of the favorites myths of his mom. Something about being destined to other person it made her smile wherever she selected that bedtime story for him.

Sasuke detest it. It doesn’t make sense at all. But one little part of his heart likes it, because Mikoto like that one too much.

“I don’t know what are you talking about” Sasuke bellowed, and putting both hands on his pants, he stars to walk away.

“Oh, but you do” He stops, but doesn’t look back “You are the kind of person who overthink things quiet easily. You will lie to me thinking this means nothing to you, but you can’t fool yourself, Uchiha-boy. Even when you have those kind of eyes, you often miss the bigger picture in life”

He presses his hands on his pockets, looking again at Lady Totomi: fortune, love and remedy. That’s what she does for living. Lying.

“Your words mean nothing to me”

“Yeah, I can see that” Lady totomi says with ironic “what about if I tell you about your brother? There I would have your attention, kid?”

His eyes flushes red in an instant. Lady Totomi doesn’t look scandalize at all.

“Oh, I did say that word to you, didn’t I?. Don’t take this at the wrong way, boy, but I always preferred love over hate. You could do better with her, you know? She really cares about you - Her feelings are genuine, I never saw someone at her age love like that before” Lady Totomi focus her glance on the pink hair lady, who is smiling at the Dango seller “You are intended to have a story. The red string can tangle, contract and stretch, but it can never break. Your bond is indestructible, and have trespasses beyond time”

Bonds has always been a troubling topic for him. He isn’t fool about Sakura’s affections. He knows she…likes him. But he has always thought-known that kind of love will go away, attributing it to a juvenile-fleeting thing. In fact, love doesn’t have a part of his formula for an avenger. He should do better, like having zero bonds in total.

And definitely that doesn’t concern Sakura at all.

if one cleans the wound quickly, it is very possible that it will be erased over time.

“I don’t want it”

Lady totomi shakes her head disapprovingly “That is something you can’t choose, boy. Destiny works that way. Just go along with it.”

Sasuke frowns “That doesn’t make sense at all. We have nothing in common”

Is true. Sakura is his ultimate contradistinction. He has more things in common with Naruto, and even the blonde one is the total antonym of himself.

“That doesn’t have nothing to do with a partner” She responds indignantly “In fact, the people who are more opposite tend to last longer on relationships that people with common things. But ok, I will show you how wrong you are” She displays both hands in front of her fake jewelry: a lot of rings, bracelets of fortune, shining pendants. Sasuke goes up one eyebrow, and look at her skeptical.

“If you have to choose one jewelry of all the one I have in here. What would you choose? Pick carefully, no one is rushing you”

“I not gonna buy it”

“I’m not asking you to. Just choose one”

Sasuke looks down at the jewelry. He doesn’t like rings, nor bracelets. Ninja don’t carry that stuff, it difficult to summon jutsus. And carry jewelry with you (even when is cheap) can be a distraction: One bad step and it can shine or even worse, sound, and you could easily be spotted when you were (supposed to be) hiding.

Lower choices.

But anyways. Bracelets it is. The are no from metal, but thread, so it would be the most practical choice. There three different color: jade green, white and red. He goes for green, red is too strong, white is difficult to keep clean up. Green is good, can serves as camouflage too.

He points to it. The woman smiles at him.

“Just the color of her eyes, hm?”

He didn’t even think in Sakura for one moment. Why is the woman so dense about it?

“What are you doing, teme?” Naruto places himself beside Sasuke, chewing his dango with his mount open “You have been with fat lady far too long!”

“Naruto!” Sakura takes place alongside Sasuke, glaring at Naruto. She smells like sweet and springtime “How could you be so disrespectful! apologize to the woman!”

“Don’t worry young lady” Lady Totomi smiles, pointing to her jewelry “For being so kind to me, I will make you choose anything you want for free”

Sakura moves the dango away from his mouth “I that true? For free?!”

“Yeah. Choose wisely.”

Sakura scan the display before her. Naruto does too, even when he can’t choose anything because he has spent all his money on ramen. (best money spent, dattebayo!). She places one finger on her chin, looking closely to the bracelet area. Sasuke feels his blood run cold when she is picking between the three bracelets he was thinking before.

Don’t choose green. Don’t choose green. Don’t choose green.

“I will take the green one!”

Lady totomi smile at him, yelling I told you with her eyes. Sasuke turns his back and walks away, both Naruto and Sakura looking at him incredibly.

Sasuke recedes frowning: This proves nothing!

A shiver runs down his spine when he feels lady Totomi voice on his head.

Sum: when it comes to Sakura’s medical skills, heaven isn't the limit.

There are two kinds of people in this word: Those who sleep when their heads reach the pillow and those who has owl soul, and can have their eyes wide open until they glimpse the sun.

Sasuke knows he is the second type.

But just to be fair, maybe he wasn’t like this when he was a little boy. Maybe he was just like everybody else, he could close his eyes and think of nothing, and just fall asleep without any intense exercise, sleeping pills nor sensory deprivation.

Ah. That would have to be an amazing thing.

Just like Sakura is doing right now next to him.

(She even seems like smiling)

He turns around on his tatami, looking at her. Just a minute ago she told him good night Sasuke-kun, closed her eyelids and star snoring peacefully, like she was really tired and all. How can she sleep so soundly in a matter of seconds? How does she do it?

There are humans capable of that?

Maybe his glance is too intense (they always where quite aware of their looks) because she opens her eyes slowly, discovering two bicolor eyes looking right back at her. Sasuke does anything to avoid being caught, that kind of thing doesn’t embarrass him at all, and waits for her to fully wake up.

She ask with very low voice “What’s wrong, Sasuke-kun?”

He speaks when she has finished scrubbing her eyes “I’m not tired”

She frowns “But It's early morning and we've been traveling all day”

He rests his head in his pillow, closing his eyes “I know”

She sighs, resting her back on the mattress

“Okay”

The room is filled with strange noises: Something being dragged, a fall, a curse, and then, her breath in his neck. He looks at her out of the corner of his eyes.

“I can use my chakra to make you fall asleep” She explains “I sometimes uses it a sedative for troubling patients, is like a brain massage, I have to find your thalamus and it will liberate dopamine to the surrounding structures responsible for your sleep-wake regulation. I can use a little quantity on your brain to provoke you drowsiness if you don’t want to sleep right away, so your body can sleep while It relaxes from this”

He is astonished. How can she do that to his brain?

“I doubt it”

The color of her eyes turns greyish.

“Ok. What about a story?”

the grimace on his face says it all.

“Well, you need to rest, Sasuke-kun. It's been two days from your last nap. Is not natural to live this way, you know?”

He doesn’t say much, other the silent implication of his back to her face.

Trying not to read so much into this, she falls asleep and Sasuke spends another night sleepless.

.

.

“Have you tried your technique before?”

Sakura opens her eyes abruptly. She was just falling asleep when his voice scared (the shit) out of her.

“Huh?”

Sasuke is visibly exhausted. Two big purple bags under his eyes are the undoubtedly proof of his sleepless nights. Sakura hasn’t insisted with the topic, relying that his exhaustion will hit him sooner than later. But it seems rather later, because he doesn’t look like he could close his eyes even if he wanted to.

“your chakra induce sleep technique” He clarifies.

She sits on her mat, her head turned towards him, trying to find an answer even when she is dead exhausted.

“Yeah, I have” a yawn escapes from her mouth, rubbing her eyes “Many times, in fact. I did it on Kakashi-Sensei when he just ascended to Hokage, he couldn’t sleep with all the work he did have on his desk everyday. He went to me for sleeping pills, but I told him I could help him avoiding the dependence on those drugs. In a week he could sleep without my help-”

“Do it” He whispers so softly; her ears seem no register his response until it does.

And it takes a little while too, to process this kind of information and really dig it on her brain.

She clears her throat “I need you to – hum- rest your head on my tights” When Sasuke doesn’t seems to move, she blushes “Is so I can be comfortable I locate more easily the structures in your skull…”

When he pulls his body up, Sakura take a sit on his pillow and rest her back on the wall behind her. Soon, she feels Sasuke hair on her tights, and feel the prolonged tension in his nape and his high back muscles.

“What I have to do?”

She places her hands on his ears, looking down at him. She wants so bad to caress their sideburns.

“Nothing – just close your eyes, I will do the rest”

He doesn’t – but she does. He cannot see it, but actually feel her chakra emerging from her palms to his ears, goosebumping the hairs of his scruff. Soon it reaches his eye area, a light sensation filling his brain, like he doesn’t have hair at all, and his skins can sensation a nice and warm wind encirculating his head. The air begins to transform into water, slowly submerging underwater, but without getting wet.

Her face is blurred behind his eyelids.

She catches the exact moment when Sasuke drops his tension.

He falls asleep.

.

.

They order rooms with one bed, her hands are the last thing he feels when he is about to sleep and is the first thing too, when he wakes up. With one glance on her direction, Sakura knows when he needs her, so it takes him by surprised when she is the first one to say they need to stop.

He frowns. He doesn’t like this.

“You are getting used to this” She explains, her doctor voice filling the room “It’s been a month, and by now your sleep-wake regulation would have to be right already. If we let this go without adjustment, every time you go to sleep will need my chakra and I have no problem with that but… hem… there will be times when I will not be around you and… what will happen then? You know what I’m talking about, right?”

Bullshit. That’s what she is talking about.

“I don’t care” He responds, “I will not sleep on those days”

AU. Where sakura is a medic-nin from Suna and battles with Uchiwas because i like symbolism that much!

team 7 get sasuke wasted.

It was the jitter, the night, the smoke, the alcohol, god knows what it was, but you were in this state when your body reacted alone without any command of your brain. Yes, your spine bulb was still working (thanks Kami), because you still can breathe, but why you feel this need to touch the body beside your right.

Like - you don’t feel this need with the man barking over and over next to you.

“I believe Sasuke-kun is wasted” You heard someone said.

And she might be right. But the fact that your stubborn enough to control your body over the hyper-alcoholic state, makes her argument dead wrong.

“You believe?” Someone-two says right beside you “He is dead-wasted, dattebayo!”

“Hn” Your mouth pronounces, even when you really tried to say I’m not.

A single hand moves in front of your eyes, like testing your eyesight. You grunt. Because maybe you’re wasted, but not fucking blind.

“Good. You are still conscious”

Conscious? He is more than conscious. He can Chidori you, he can Amaterasu your ass, he can Sussano you into pieces, he can (star) and finish the five shinobi war right here and right now. Just bring them, bring those who-

“Yeah, yeah bastard, in this state you can even blink right” You tried to look at that dead last, but the only think you can do is twist your lips in disgust “. What are we gonna do with you? you weigh a ton!”
