Thinking

Inner Sakura/Kyuubi

WITH SAKURA:

"Sakura, Hokage-Sama wishes to speak with you." Shizune said. "Ok, thank you, be right there."

Sakura replied as she finished filling out some mission papers. She had just taken a trip down memory lane,

because she had come across team sevens old mission reports, from back when they were genin. When life

was more layed back and care-free, when everyone was immature and naive. But most importantly, when

Sakura had had her heart broken by Sasuke.

The night she had spilled her heart out to him, told him of the love she had fro him, or had convinced herself

with, but slowly the wounds he had caused her were beginning to heal, but they may have been healing

faster if her best friend were there with her. Life seemed so dull without him around, and she missed him

more than she ever imagined. He had been gone, training for around two and a half years, soon after

Sasuke had left the village, so he could become stronger and the two of them could get Sasuke back

together.

Sakura, after two and a half years of training with Tsunade, had become a lot stronger. Her girlish traits

were starting to blossom into becoming a beautiful young woman. Her healing abilities, and super chakra

inhanced punches, could really be a terrible combo in battle if you got on her wrong side...

Sakura entered her master's office, full of mountians of paperwork and empty sake bottles as usual.

"Tsunade-Sama you called for me?" Sakura asked dully, thinking her master were going to assign more

paperwork. "Sakura, Jiraya and Naruto have been spotted, they'll be home in a couple of days." The fifth

Hokage said smiling slightly. "Really?!" Sakura asked with a hint of excitement hidden in her voice. Tsunade

noticed, at the mention of Naruto, Sakura's whole face seemed to lift, it was the happiest she'd seen her

before he went off to train. After Sasuke left, Sakura seemed to be an entire different person, not laughing,

or hanging out with friends, but Naruto seemed to help her a lot, whether being a clown to make her laugh,

a shoulder to cry on, or even being a target to let her anger out on, whatever the case, he was always there

for her.

"Tsunade-Sama?" Sakura asked. "Hmm?" "Well, um..do you think that just..maybe we could have a welcome

home party for those two?" Sakura asked cautiously. "I don't see why not...I'm sure the clumbsy fool and

perv would love that." "Thank you Sensei!" Sakura said bowing and turned to leave the room. "I'll get started

right away!" She said giddily. "Finish filing that paperwork-!" "I did already!!" Sakura yelled interrupting her,

as she ran down the hallway. Tsunade sighed and turned her attention back to the piles of procrastinated

papers in front of her. Why am I so nice some times?

Well...the first thing I should probably do is round up some people to help me decorate...hmm...I'll try Ino...

and then Tenten...and Hinata...This party will be so much fun! Sakura thought giddily. I hope they'll like it...

WITH NARUTO:

"OOOOIII!!! ERO SENNIN!!! HURRY UP!!!!"

Does this kid run on batteries? Jiraya thought as he quickened his pace a bit more to catch up to the hyper-

active, big-mouthed fifteen year old aways ahead of him. I can't wait to get back to the villag, I miss

everyone so much...I wonder how much people have changed in two and a half years...I wonder how

Sakura is...has she changed? Naruto thought as he continued his fast pace through the many trees.

I will definitely tell her sometime when I get back...Naruto thought I have to tell her I...

WITH SAKURA:

After half an hour of frantically rounding people up to help out, Sakura had Ino, Tenten, Kurinai sensei,

Hinata, Chouji, Anko, Gai Sensei, and Lee. "Ino, Tenten, you two, can help me decorate, Kurinai sensei,

Anko sensei, Chouji and Hinata, you guys can make the food, and Chouji please don't eat it all please!! Gai

Sensei, Lee san, could you please deliver these invitations to everyone?" Everyone nodded, and got to

work...They had only two days to get the whole party together..."Ok, so for the decorations...Tenten, could

you hang up these streamers please?" Sakura asked. "Sure, no problem." She replied pulling out her many

weapons. Throwing the streamers into the air, and pinning them up against the wall with her needles, with

deadly accuracy. "Ino, could you get some flowers for all the tables." Sakura asked. "Yea, what colors?"

"um...I dunno...be creative..." "Okay..." Ino said leaving for her familie's flower shop. Guess I get the fun

job of bringing out tables and chairs...She thought grumpily. At least I can do this now... "Shadow clone

jutsu!" Ten clones appeared "Okay, here we go! SHANNARO!!" The eleven Sakura's said in unison as they

ran to get the chairs and tables around the Hokage tower.

"Lee, I will race you! Let's go fountian of youth!" "Yes Gai Sensei!" "First to return to this spot after

delivering all of their invitations wins!" Gai Sensei announced. "Right!" Lee said in return as Gai and himself

resembled blurs running around Konoha handing invitations to various people...

Sakura: Why are you making this story so cheesy?

Me: Aww...give me a break...it's my first fanfic ok?

Sakura: pfff...whatever...
