Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Ok, I decided to rewrite the first chapter because I didn't like the way it was before. Hopefully this chapter is less excessive as the first. Please review! No flames!

Three Months
XOX
Sasuke was currently traveling to Ichiraku to meet up with Naruto for breakfast, yes breakfast. He had returned to Konoha 3 months ago after completing his goal of defeating Itachi. Everyone in the village became used to his presence and had accepted him back. Tsunade had him take only 1 month probation since he had defeated 3 dangerous missing-nins; Orochimaru, Deidara, and Itachi. Although everyone forgave him, there was one person that Sasuke hadn't seen throughout the 3 months he has been in Konoha. That person was Sakura. It didn't so much bother him, he was just curious as to why she hadn't come to see him during the time he spent in the hospital.

"Sasuke-teme! Over here!" An extremely loud Naruto called from his seat at Ichiraku. Sasuke frowned at the volume of Naruto's voice.
"Dobe" he said quietly as he took a seat next to Naruto.

After eating their meal, Sasuke and Naruto chose to sit for a while to let it settle so they could spar for the first time since Sasuke's return. Sasuke thought that now would be a good time to bring up Sakura's absence.
"Dobe", Sasuke began quietly, "what happened to Sakura? I haven't seen her since I came back."
"You miss her don't you?" Naruto smirked.
"That's not it", Sasuke growled, "I'm just curious."
"Well...now that I think about it, I don't know why you haven't seen her yet." Naruto shrugged. "You should go see her if you miss her so much."
"I don't miss her!" Sasuke snapped. "I told you I'm just curious…baka."
"Then go see her. She lives on her own now so you two can do whatever you want". Naruto said nudging Sasuke slightly with a smirk, "no parent's to–"
Before Naruto could finish his sentence, Sasuke sent him a death glare to shut him up and stormed off.
"I was only kidding!" Naruto shouted after him.

Sasuke had gotten directions to Sakura's apartment from Ino at the flower shop. There was no way in hell Sasuke was going to ask Naruto. So, now he stood on Sakura's welcome mat outside her door. He took a deep breath for what reason he did not know and knocked three times on her door.
"Coming", he heard Sakura call.
Sasuke began to feel uneasy, maybe he shouldn't have come. After all, what was he going to say? Before Sasuke's thoughts could continue, Sakura opened the door with a cheery smile.
"Hello–", Sakura stopped when she saw who was at her door.
Sasuke-kun…
"Hn", he greeted quietly only to see Sakura frown and reached to shut the door.
"Sakura", he started firmly, "what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? You came to my house to ask what's wrong with me?"
"How else would I ask? I haven't seen you for 3 months." Sasuke stated.
"Well, I'm sorry you had to come all this way for nothing." Sakura said and reached to shut the door once again.
"Sakura!" Sasuke raised his voice and pushed his way inside Sakura's house.
"Get out." Sakura said sternly with a frown on her face.
"What happened to you?" Sasuke asked annoyed, "why didn't you come to see me?"
"What's wrong Sasuke? I though you would want your space."
"My space?" Sasuke felt his anger rising at her indifference.
"Look", Sakura said getting irritated and a little teary eyed, "I don't see why it means so much to you if I visited or not. You never wanted to see me before you left the village, why now?"
"…." Sasuke didn't reply. He couldn't. Why did it mean so much now if she visited?
"Because", Sasuke tried again, "I…I don't know!"
"Just please leave Sasuke-kun because I–"
"I just missed you damn it!" Sasuke blurted out before Sakura could continue.

"…"

Damn…

"…"

Sakura couldn't speak. She didn't know how to respond to that. So instead she just stared blankly at him hoping he would continue. And he did.
"I don't like being ignored. So why've you been ignoring me for the three months I've been here?" Sasuke's voice seemed to rise a bit.
Sakura's tears finally fell. She felt so bad about what she did to Sasuke for her own selfishness.
"Sasuke-kun", Sakura sobbed, "I'm...s–sorry…I just couldn't bring myself to see you again until I got over you! The night you left…my feelings for you…I meant every word of it …and I still do…that's why I didn't want to see you…I'm sorry." Sakura hiccupped at each thing she said.
Sakura broke down and fell to her knees sobbing quietly.

"…" Sasuke wasn't sure of what to say.
"Sakura", Sasuke said her name in an uneasy voice. He knelt down to her and took her hands away from her teary face and awkwardly embraced her.
Sakura felt like her face was on fire. Was this really Sasuke-kun? Why was he acting so weird? What did they feed him at the hospital?
Sakura closed her eyes and slowly wrapped her arms around him. "I'm happy you're back."
