Title: Coming Home With Nothing, Leaving Without Everything

Summary: Sasuke comes back after 5 years, and is happy to know that Team 7 is still there for him. Sakura still loves him, and he finally admits his love for her too. They get married, and attempt to produce a child. But what happens when they think she's infertile? Easy. He leaves.

Disclaimer: If I did have Naruto, things would be veryyy different … starts thinking evil grin Ehehehehe…


He was tired. It had been 3 days since he escaped Orochimaru's grasp. It had taken Orochimaru longer than he thought to take over Sasuke's body, and when Sasuke finally realized that he was about to be taken over, he fled. Sasuke had nowhere to go, nowhere to run to … except. "Sakura" he thought. She was in his mind day and night for the past few years, and finally, it was time to go back.

"Oi! Sakura!" Ino began shouting. "He's back! He's back!" Sakura was in the middle of training when Ino barged over and told her the news.

"Who's back?" Sakura questioned, curious.

"Sasuke, of course, you dummy!" Sakura was shocked. It's been 5 years since she last saw him, 5 very long years. She had never forgotten him, and she'd also never been able to move on. She ran to the gates.

Naruto and Kakashi-sensei were already there, along with a few fan girls, and the rookie nine. When she got there, her eyes first laid on Sasuke. He was covered in cuts and bruises, and looked like he was about to collapse any minute. Sakura quickly shoved everyone aside, trying to reach him.

Sasuke was first to notice her. "…Sakura…" he quietly whispered, before fainting.

At the hospital

Sasuke awoke in a completely white room. Well, almost all white. He turned his head, and there sitting next to him, was a head full of pink. "Sakura…" he whispered.

"Ohayou, Sasuke-kun." Sakura responded quietly. Since she was one of the top medic-nin in Konoha, she managed to beg Tsunade to take care of Sasuke at the hospital.

"Sakura, come over here for a second." Sakura quietly walked over to him, surprised by what he did next.

He hugged her.

"I missed you so much! It's been 5 long years, since I last saw you. I'm sorry for leaving you. I'm sorry for everything! I know I shouldn't have left … but please, don't leave me…" Sasuke pleaded. (A/N: Ooops… a little too OOC… but this is my fanfic, so if I want him to be OOC, he's gonna be OOC D)

Sakura was very shocked. 'Is this really Sasuke? What if it's a trap?' She reached for her kunai, just in case. "Sasuke… if that's who you really are, why come back? Why not just leave us! It's been 5 years already!"

Now it was Sasuke's turn to be shocked, but hid it with his façade. "I came back … for you." Sakura couldn't help but believe him.

"Sasuke-kun!" She cried as she hugged him.

A few days later

Tsunade came in later to check up on Sasuke. Sakura hadn't left the building since Sasuke's been in the hospital.

"Sasuke, once you're healed, you do realize you will face punishment for leaving Konoha." Tsunade said sternly.

Sasuke just lowered his head. "Hai, Hokage-sama."

"Come Sakura, you need to get out for a bit, you've been cramped up in this hospital for 3 days now." Sakura began to protest, but gave in and followed Tsunade.
