Like the entire climax. XD I feel horrible about that.
She wakes up alone, her head aching. Opening her eyes, all she can see are bright yellow sunflowers-a present from Naruto, no doubt. Back from his honeymoon and he’s giving someone else flowers.
A chuckle escapes her lips and she cringes at the way it reverberates in her head. Raising her hand, she stretches her sore arm, hoping it’s recovered by now. It seems the fight didn’t damage it too much.
As she’s examining it, the door slides open and she looks up to see Sasuke enter.
“He’s caught?”
“Yes, with a lawyer just waiting to bail him out of it.”
Sakura snorted. “Not if Tsunade is the judge. He’ll be lucky if she gives him a bone.”
There’s silence and she winces when she realizes what her being here meant. “Kakashi mad?”
Sasuke smirked at her. “More than he was with me.”
“Crap.” She closed her eyes. “Well, I’m still recovering. I can see him later.” She yawned then, tired, and motioned to the chair beside her bed. “You can sit there.”
He stares down at her, his eyes inscrutable. There is a weariness in him she didn’t see before and he shoulders relax slightly as she watches him. Before she can ask, he nods, sitting down. “You should rest.”
“I know.” She yawns again. “You too.”
He’s still looking at her, his expression a cipher, and as her eyes slowly close, she thinks she can hear a quiet apology.
