Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! I hope you guys like it! I love this pairing and it seems that they don't get enough love on here!

Chapter One: The Mission

Sakura walked through the peaceful streets of Kohana towards the hokage's tower. She received an urgent call from Lady Tsunade last night, telling her that she needed to report as early as possible in the morning of course that just made her nervous. Not to mention that she had to send off the love of her life along with his team on a mission to the village hidden in the sand to help out with a training session with the new chunien as a favor to Gaara. Sakura wanted to go so bad, she missed Temari and her siblings, but Naruto told her to stay home and look after Hinata, seeing as she was pregnant with his child. They had finally gotten married and are now about to have their first child. He was beyond nervous about anything to do with her in general now that she was pregnant he was just starting to become annoying. Sakura did not wish to part from her love, but he assured her that he would be back before she knew it. They shared the most passionate kiss they had ever shared in their life, in front of his family. As their lips departed his mother exclaimed,

"Don't worry about him dear he will be back soon. Now come, Hinata you as well, we still have to plan this wedding! By my son! Come back to your blushing bride!"

He simply laughed, she had grown to love his laugh, the first time she ever heard it it nearly made her heart melt. He had made the biggest impact on her in these past few years, she loved him more than she had ever loved anyone. The day he proposed she thought that she was going to die of pure happiness.

FLASHBACK

(He took her out to dinner which was one of his and her little things to do together. She loved to sit down with him and talk about how his day was. He would ask her how the hospital was and stuff, things that she didn't really find all that fun, and she didn't think that he really cared, but if he didn't he sure fooled her. There was something strange about this dinner though, he was less talkative than usual. They had been dating for a while now, she had grown to know when there was something on his mind. Which she could clearly tell that there was. He paid for there meal in silence, taking her hand he led her to the water. They walked on top of the bridge it was late, things were fairly lit she was about to question why they were there until she noted a dozen fireflies around them. She smiled like she was a little kid in a candy store, she loved them, the way the glowed, she loved the light. She opened her hand as one landed on her palm. She smiled down at the bug in her hand. He simply smiled at her, he loved her more than he could ever express. He was not very good with his emotions, nor with human contact but she didn't care. She stuck with him throughout everything. She would not be ashamed of being out in public with him, which was very strange for someone outside his clan.

He loved how she acted in general, she was the sweetest, loveable, perfect, most amazing woman he had ever met, but she also had a temper, which he had to admit was extremely sexy. She had the insect on her finger and pointed it at him, showing him her new friend. He chuckled to himself slightly, she was so cute. He took her hand in his, watching as the bug flew away, seeing the glisten in her eyes. He took a deep breath. He took both her hands in his and pulled her close to him. She was shocked, this was so unlike him. She couldn't see his entire face but from what she could see he was blushing?

"Sakura…I know that we have been dating for a while now, and I understand if you say you are not ready or that you do not want to but I need to ask you something…"

She simply looked up at him, her green eyes burning into his soul. He gulped and then continued,

"Sakura…I love you…"

Her eyes widened slightly at him, she knew that he loved her, she knew that she loved her, but she couldn't really tell where this was going until, he knelt down on one knee, she gasped as she flashed her hand to her mouth. He took her left hand in both of his hands,

"I love you more than I even thought possible, I never thought of even the possibility of doing this but I know what I feel…Sakura…Will you do me the honor of staying with me forever…will you marry me?"

Sakura started bawling as he pulled out a diamond ring from his pocket. She was crying so hard that she was unable to coax out an answer so she nodded her head up and down as fast as she could. He smiled the biggest smile that he could have possible muster as he placed the ring on her ring finger. She was hysterically crying at this point, he stood up to face her as she jumped in his arms. He kissed her with as much passion as he possibly could. With that his family cheered from the woods around them, along with his and her teammates. She was completely unfocused with anything that was going on she just kept staring at him. He was the love of her life and they were going to stay with each other forever.)

END FLASHBACK

She smiled to herself as she remembered everything. She neared the tower, not knowing what was to come, but she was sure it would be okay. She walked into her office, checking in with Shizune. Which she stood and led her into Lady Tsunade's office, closing the door behind her. Lady Tsunade looked up at her with a smile,

"Good Sakura…your early! Let's get down to business…please have a seat."

Sakura sat in a chair in front of her desk. Lady Tsunade cleared her throat,

"Alright well Sakura I am in desperate need of your help...see Sasuke and the Taka team are on the move, threatening our borders security."

"And you want me to stop him?"

Sakura questioned slightly annoyed. Tsunade shook her head,

"No I simply want you to relay a message…"

As she placed a scroll on her desk. Sakura simply looked up at the woman,

"You know how he feels about this…"

Lady Tsunade rolled her eyes,

"I know that your boyfriend…"

"Fiancé…"

Sakura interrupted. Tsunade smirked slightly,

"Fiancé…doesn't want you to do this…which is why I've sent him on a mission of his own…along with his teammates and Naruto…Sakura you don't understand how important this is. I promise I have taken all precautions to provide you with as much safety as I can."

She paused a moment then pushed a call button on her desk,

"You can send them in now."

Within seconds the door opened as Neji, Lee, and Ten Ten walked in. Sakura smiled at her friends. She hadn't seen them in so long! They had all grown, she stood up studying them all but her thoughts were interrupted by Lee's warm embrace. He picked her up and spun her around. She couldn't help but laugh at his cheerful demeanor.

"Sakura I have not seen you in so long! How are you?"

She smiled up at him, my goodness he had gotten tall.

"I'm doing well Lee, and yourself?"

He was about to answer when Ten Ten stepped in front of him and hugged her friend tightly.

"Sakura you have grown! I've missed you so much!"

Sakura laughed, her and Ten Ten had become extremely close since the chunin exams.

"I've missed you too! A lot has changed since you left."

Ten Ten smiled,

"Well you'll have to fill me in on all the gossip."

She winked at her friend. Ten Ten moved slightly to show her other teammate. Sakura and Neji exchanged nods. She smiled at him,

"Congratulations Neji I hear that you are going to be an uncle!"

Neji smiled slightly remembering Hinata telling him she was pregnant.

"Thank you Sakura…"

Lady Tsunade cleared her throat,

"Well Sakura, here is the team I am assigning to you for this mission, you will bring this scroll to Sasuke and be back without any problems. Your team will be with you the entire time."

She stated calmly as she looked towards the team. They nodded at her. Sakura looked back at Lady Tsuande and sighed,

"I don't suppose I have a choice do I?"

She smiled slightly as Lady Tsunade shook her head and exclaimed,

"And with that you are dismissed."
