SasuSaku: You Promised

Chapter Ten

Today was the day Sakura had to check Sasuke's health. She already told my parents she needed time for her to settle my life because I wanted to be independent for once. It was still early when Sakura left Konoha so she had a lot of spare time to rest a while around the forest. When She finally reached their base, Karin was nagging Sasuke to do something. "Sui! She's back" Karin shot her a 'remember-he-is-mine' glare. Whatever. She could see Sasuke was on the stage of healing but.. "Jugo-san, did Sasuke-kun eat anything Karin cook?" Sakura asked worriedly. Hey, I would never trust Karin. Ever. "Actually, he didn't eat anything at all" Sui scratched the back of his head. She sighed. Boy, this kid can be a handful. She gathered some vegetables and told Sui to boil water(again).  Sasuke, however, enjoyed seeing Sakura cook for him. 

~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~

"Mother, I don't want to eat vegetables!" 

"Do you want to be like your brother Itachi?"

"Yeah!"

"Itachi loves vegetables, my dear. He eats them to stay strong!"

"Mother!! I want two more servings!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~END OF FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sasuke chuckled a bit, not knowing that Sakura heard him. Minutes later, Sakura already had a bowl of vegatable soup. "Eat this Sasuke" she hands the bowl over to him. Sasuke stares at it for two split seconds and uses his hand to push it away from his face. Sakura frowned and patiently tried again, but with a different approach. "Sasuke-kun, you need to get well. If you want to activate the Mangyeko Sharingan, you need to eat this" she said with a smile. Sui and Jugo was listening to the whole thing behind a large tree and so was Karin. "Hn. Fine" Sasuke pulled the soup bowl from sakura's hand and drank it down in one chug. "You want more?" she lit up. Sasuke looked at her and had a little smirk on his face. After half an hour, everyone was huddled around the fire and slurping down Sakura's vegetable soup. It's been a while since I've seen him smirk. Wow, he really liked my soup! Sakura thought. After helping clean up, as usual, she headed down to the lake and took a little swim. But a few minutes after playing inn the water, she noticed a pair of eyes watching her from behind. Nah, probably nothing.
