Sakura sighed and shook her head she was tired and was covered in blood from her shift at the hospital. But she still had her nightly duties to attend to and she couldn't go back to her small apartment until they were taken care of.

She thanked the gods though that no one came to this area of Kohana anymore, because she was sure she was a horrid mess, she hoped to gods that after this was finished she got back to her apartment without anyone seeing her.

Sighing she slipped through the yellow tape and into the Uchiha district. She sighed and rubbed the back of her head, running fingers through pink tresses encrusted with blood. She was coming upon the cemetery now and she sighed she was a step closer to her warm shower.

Silently she jumped over the gate. It was rusted now and wouldn't open so she had taken to just jumping over the gate instead of trying to oil it. She froze though when she sensed the other chakra. She knew that signature.

Sasuke.

Her mind sped through the possible scenarios she knew it would be bad if he sensed her and she ran. It would make it look like she was snooping when she wasn't. The best thing she could do was just continue on in and finish what she was here for.

So with that in mind she continues on in checking on various plants until she came into the innermost center, and that's when she saw him.

He was kneeling in front of a grave stone. His Akatsuki cloak spread out around him a dark and foreboding contrast to the pure white snow that was surrounding them. His head was bowed and his hands were bent into prayer.

If she wasn't so worried about the fact he was in Kohana she would have laughed at the supposed atheist.

"You shouldn't be in Kohana" Sasuke whirled around in a defensive crouch his eyes narrowed "I couldn't sense you, you where masking you chakra stop snooping where you shouldn't be Sakura." She shook her head "no you couldn't sense me because my chakra is drained to the point of being nearly nonexistent."

He seemed to take in her appearance "you just came from the hospital didn't you?" Sakura laughed lightly and knelt down by the stone next to Sasuke. His mother's stone. She then started to tend to the small flower.

"What tipped you off Sasuke the fact that I'm dressed in my medic uniform or the blood?" She sighed and tugged on the weeds gently before they came out of the ground roots and all. She then checked that the small chakra barrier that kept the cold out was still intact.

She smiled when she noticed it was. She then stood and made her way down the rows, tugging out weeds and making sure each plant would prosper throughout the cool Kohana winter. After some time she felt Sasuke behind her and she tensed.

A ninja's back is its most vulnerable spot. And Sakura wasn't wearing her armor.

However it would be best if she didn't react defensively. Best she let him think that she wasn't worried then react defensively and have a full out battle in a graveyard.

So she continued to work on the small lily and ignored the fact that Sasuke could strike her down at any moment. And when she was sure that the lily was in good condition she moved on. Sasuke still tailing her. Finally she had had enough.

"Look Sasuke I would really appreciate it if you would not stand behind me." Sasuke didn't move. Finally she spun around and glared up at him. "Does me standing behind you make you feel uncomfortable Sakura?"

He was smirking she would punch him if she had enough chakra.

"Considering the last time we met you tried to strangle me to death, so yes it does make me very nervous and uncomfortable." He frowned "Then leave Sakura" he paused for a moment "you tried to kill me too let's not forget that."

She sighed "look let's make a deal, I'll finish what I'm here to do, and then leave if you don't harm anyone in Kohana, and I'll let you do whatever you're here to do without going to the hokage because I know she's very busy" Sasuke stared at her "hn no" she glared "look Uchiha I've had a bad enough day as is, I don't need you screwing it up more, so please just agree so this day can end sooner."

Sasuke stared at her "what exactly happened" Sakura sighed and rubbed her temples "nine anbu squads came back in critical condition, I was in surgery for nineteen hours straight and only two patients survived and even their not in the best of conditions."

Sasuke quickly did the mental math, nine times the usual ten people on an anbu squad was ninety patients and if all but two died then that means Sakura lost eighty eight patients today.

"Hmm you're weak if you lost that many patients."

Sakura turned to him glaring fiercely "what the hell would you know Sasuke, when was the last time you spent three days healing people nonstop, when was the last time you had a man bleed out on you because you just couldn't figure out what kind of poison was being used, when was the last time you had found out that the anbu you just where trying to save was pregnant with her first child."

She stared up at him from her position on the ground "when was the last time the man you where trying to heal's arties burst covering you with his blood, when was the last time you've had to deliver you patients final words to their distressed wife."

"Please tell me when Sasuke."

He stayed silent. "That's right Sasuke, you can't tell me when because you kill and I heal that's the way it is." She shifted her position so she was in a low crouch "I've killed people Sasuke, but I've never ever taken joy in the killing, I'm not sadistic like you I don't enjoy killing people, I don't get high off of it."

She glared at him "you do" she then stood and made her way down the final row. Sasuke still tailing her. Finally she doubled back and knelt in front of the stone that Sasuke had been occupying.

"So you know."

Sasuke looked at her in shook. She gently traced the name engraved on the stone. Uchiha Itachi, a loyal shinobi through and through.

She and Naruto had been the one to engrave that.

"Sasuke, you know don't you" he glanced at her his eyes spitting fire "I know allot of things Sakura you'll have to be more specific" she glared "you know what your brother did what he sacrificed for you and yet you still seek to destroy Kohana you disgust me, I can't believe Itachi actually though you were worth saving."

Sasuke quickly pulled his katana and placed it to Sakura's neck drawing a thin stream of blood. Glares locked red verses green. And somehow it appeared that Sakura would win.

"Don't talk about Itachi like you knew him."

Sakura laughed bitterly "I knew him, I knew what he planned and I knew that he wouldn't change his mind no matter how much I begged, one life for thousands he said was a fair trade, it made me so angry but he was so set on you killing him and stopping treatment that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't change his mind."

Sasuke looked at her with wide eyes his Sharingan no longer lighting his eyes with their fierce light. "How did you-" She glanced up.

"I took the Hippocratic Oath Sasuke, he came to me and asked for treatment to extend his life" she leveled him with her gaze "and I didn't refuse, over the course of a year he came once every week and I treated him to the best of my ability."

"I did the best I could Sasuke but the tumor was inoperable and the best I could do was give him oral medication and hope that the tumor would shrink but it just wouldn't and it was constricting his lungs, then the day came he wanted to go seek you" she glanced down "I tried so hard but he wouldn't change his mind."

She raised her finger again to trace the letters "and then he left and never returned" she turned to him "he wanted the best for this village and I respect him for that, but more over he wanted the best for you."

She glared at him "look at yourself Sasuke your not the boy we fought so hard to save you're a monster who kills without a thought and seeks to destroy all that ever mattered to Naruto, to me, and at one point you."

"I really wish you could be redeemed Sasuke I really do" she shook her head "but your making the very thought laughable."

Sasuke glared "so you don't love me then?"

Sakura shook her head "loves a funny emotion Sasuke, it's fickle and flints and flies until it finds the place it needs to be and even when it's best for a person to stop loving someone love doesn't listen, my love is no different but there is also another aspect to love and that's the mind, I don't want to love you Sasuke and my mind and heart are fighting, but the mind is strong and it's winning."

She looked down at her hands that where spotted by streaks of dirt. "Maybe you can be redeemed Sasuke, in fact if you tried to change I'm sure you could, but war is coming and you have to choose a side, and even though I love you, I'm not going to let you destroy all I love."

"I'm stronger then that" and this time he doesn't argue and he drops his arm to his side his Katana plunging downwards before landing on the ground in a tomb of snow. Gently she tugged on the weeds that surrounded the small peony.

She hummed quietly before starting to sing quietly "Debajo de las mantas de nieve en tierra sagrada, duermen tranquilamente en reposo Ohh, pero hay mucho más Una sola rosa roja que crece desde el suelo Oh dejar que la madre y ella, la vid y debajo de la nieve tan profunda Una rosa nació."

Finally she finished and stood, brushing her hands of onto her white skirt, or mostly white skirt because there were spots of red on it to. She was about to walk away when she felt a hand on her wrist "let…go…of…me…Uchiha."

She growled a feral sound lighting up the twilight hours; the sun already faded leaving only a ghost of blue behind.

"Sakura just please wait" she turned to him glaring "look Uchiha-" "does the Hokage know what those bastards ordered."

Sakura looked at him in shock. "Ah yeah you killed Danzo, Tsunade-sensei was in a coma then, but when she woke up she wanted to know why, so me and Naruto told her" Sakura pierced her lips "actually she's been trying to find a way to get rid of them ever sense then, she's always hated them but now she has even more ammo to fuel the fire."

Sasuke smirked "well then Sakura do you believe she would let me take them out for her."

"Does this mean you're considering…" she trailed off when he nodded, Sakura smiled slightly "well then let's go and you can ask her."

Sasuke nodded and stopped her as she started to do the seals for a transportation jutsu "your almost out of chakra and I need you to meditate between me and your sensei" Sakura shook her head and did the next seal.

"I have enough chakra for a simple transportation jutsu."

They disappeared in a swarm of cherry blossoms that fell to litter the ground where they once stood.

Tsunade looked up from her position at her desk when she saw the swarm of flowers "Sakura you should be at home resting after the day you had today, it's not good for you to be up and about with this little— Sakura was there yes, but next to her stood Uchiha, Sasuke dressed in a Akatsuki cloak  —chakra" she finished lamely.

"Sakura please explain to me why I'm seeing the Uchiha standing next to you" said Tsunade glaring at the Uchiha who had tried to kill her student while she had been in a coma, Sakura sighed "I was tending the Uchiha graveyards and I saw him there kneeling in front of Itachi's headstone."

"Sakura don't get me started on why you shouldn't be tending those graves, but please continue, before I send for the anbu and they hurl him away to prison."

Sakura nodded and turned to Sasuke "ask her" Sasuke nodded "Sakura told me you want the elders gone as much as I do, so I was wondering if you would let me handle the situation" he paused "in return I would give you all the info I know of the Akatsuki and only ask that you let me remain in Kohana where my brother wanted me to be."

Tsunade sighed and laced her fingers together before laying her head down in them "you do realize I can't let you back into Kohana without a punishment correct?" Sasuke nodded "good however I do understand why you killed Danzo however I can't let you just go kill Koharu and Homura."

Sasuke glared "however if you agree I will advance with an official trial, so we can get rid of them permanently, I already have the file that has all I need to prosecute them."

Sasuke frowned, he wanted them dead yes, but would he settle for them not dying by his hands. He glanced over at the bloody woman who was conversing with her master about some medical mumbo jumbo, he didn't know what he felt for Sakura, but he did know that he truly wanted to find out.

Because he didn't like not knowing something.

"Yes."

Both women turned towards him. Tsunade sighed "well then I suppose I should give you your punishment, you will have your chakra sealed for a year's time, if in that period of time you do not make any mistakes that hurt Kohana, then I will unseal your chakra and consider reinstating you as a Kohana shinobi."

"In addition I want you to stay with an anbu" Tsunade turned to Sakura "Sakura, that will be you, I trust you can handle him" Sakura nodded "good for tonight I'd like you to stay in the tower so we can discuss the information you said you had on Akatsuki that could aid us in the upcoming war."

"Sakura I want you to go home sleep, eat, shower, and be back here at ten tomorrow morning got it?" Sakura nodded "hai" she turned to leave but stopped at the door "Tsunade-sensei just how long have you been expecting this and planning Sasuke's punishment." Tsunade smiled "I've been planning this ever sense I met with you and Naruto, after Uchiha left, I knew you wouldn't be like Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and me, so for about four years now going on five" Sakura shook her head and opened the door.

"You where right though as always, Me, Naruto, and Sasuke, we aren't the Sannin" and she said it with such pride that Tsunade smiled.

"Goodnight Sasuke, Tsunade-sensei" she yawned and stepped out the door.

Tsunade shook her head, smiling "well that's Sakura for you, she's just something else" she sighed and opened a door in her desk and pulled out a white folder, before grabbing a pen and paper "now let's get down to business Uchiha what can you tell me about the Akatsuki….."

Twenty three years later, Sakura stood in front of her mirror and brushed her short pink hair frowning slightly at the strands of white that were starting to appear. Suddenly she felt arms snake around her waist. She smiled "Sasuke-kun what are you doing" Sasuke squeezed her tightly before stepping to the side and smirking at her "hn, what can't I hug my beautiful wife?" Sakura chuckled and hit him lightly on the arm.

"Of course just not when I'm brushing my hair" Sasuke laughed lowly smirked at her "Kimyoki and Itachi are in bed, so…" he grinned at her, before bending down and kissing her. To which she fisted her hands in his hair and they tumbled into the bed still kissing each other passionately.

Hours later Sasuke smiled down at the head of pink that was laying on his chest. "you look beautiful like this Sakura" Sakura laughed lightly "I bet you say that to all the girls you just made love with" Sasuke shook his head "no just you."

She turned over slowly and kissed his nose "good."

They snuggled deeper under the blankets Sasuke's arms wrapped tightly around her. Sakura yawned and nuzzled her head into Sasuke's chest. "hmmm can you believe it's been twenty three year's since you came back?"

"Hn no, it still seems like yesterday I found you snooping through the Uchiha graveyard."

"HEY I wasn't snooping" Sasuke laughed and kissed her head "I know Sakura-chan, I know"

She smiled before falling into the embrace of sleep. Sasuke glanced down at the beautiful creature in his arms. He hadn't lied it did still feel like yesterday, and the weeks that followed still felt like only last week as went for the months and the years. To think the wonderful years and months and weeks and days that they'd spent together all started with a bloody girl snooping in the Uchiha graveyard.

Sasuke hated people who snooped, but for Sakura he would make an exception after all he did love her.
:iconcommentplz:

So this was for day nine "Snoop" and again I had fun writing this one, I think it has to do with the ninja world that I'm writing this in, I just like ninja's hence I had so much fun playing ninja with by honorary sister last night at homecoming. (2015 aliens rule…..LOL our theme was "in 2015 life on mars will be discovered")

The song was a piece of something I wrote that I translated into Spanish because I couldn't figure out how to translate it into Japanese and let it still use English letters.

If you find any mistakes please tell me and I'll fix them as always I love to improve!

My lovely cover art was done by the talented girlUnkown

Peace out and may the force be with you,
