SasuSaku Month 2017
Day 17: War Torn

A sequel to the prompt of Day 9: On Opposites Sides. I kind of really like the Sasuke Hokage/Sasuke achieves his revolution AU. This is for: @behindheremeraldeyes, @fangirl-life-forever, @uchihaharunoss. Glad you enjoyed the first part.

Everything changed after the war, Sakura did too. Sometimes
Sasuke missed the Sakura who’d confessed her love for him that first time, but
most times he couldn’t help but admire the Sakura who for a second time professed
her love. That was the one thing he didn’t lose in the war.

Things would have been much simpler if he had.

Orochimaru had advised him time and time again to make an
example out of her as he had done with so many others. This is a dangerous game you’re playing, Sasuke. On some days that
was particularly true.

On that day she was strong, her green eyes burning with rage
and betrayal. “The moment you drop your guard I’ll have your head.” It was a
bluff in that precise moment, but a threat, something to bear in mind for the
future. She currently couldn’t do much behind bars.

She was in his arms,
the bars of the cell between them as a barrier protecting them from each other.
She didn’t struggle against him and when his lips met with hers they were
bruising, he had to be. On days she was strong he had to be strong too.

“Hard to do that from behind bars.” He replied between
kisses, he would let her go free right then if she’d just said the right words,
even if she didn’t mean them.

She bit her lip, hard enough to draw blood and broke away
from the kiss, her lips spreading in a mocking smile. “You’ll let me go, you
always do.” He hated the certainty in her voice.
