" No matter how many times I ask him to spend time with me he says no," thought Sakura lying on her bed with the lights turn off, " I wonder if . . . if he really cares for me at all?"

The next morning

Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke are waiting for Kakashi at the front of the school." He's late AGAIN!" said Sakura," How many times as he been late!" "Oh, you now how Kakashi sensei is," replied Naruto, "It would be KIND OF NICE IF HE WAS EARLY OR ON TIME FOR ONCE!" Sakura just stared into the sky, thinking about what she thought about last night. "Hi, sorry I'm late." said Kakashi. "Finally, so what do we have a mission today or what? "Said Sasuke. "Well I'm not sure, let's go check up with the Hokage shall we?" replied Kakashi.

At where ever the Hokage is

Totally ignoring the Hokage, again Naruto was talking about Ramen. "Are you even listening to me!" yelled the Hokage. "Oh ha ha Sorry, go on," said Kakashi. "You have a D class mission," said the Hokage, "A person who just moved in, Ms. Iyasei Tarada needs help with unpacking her belongings. "Well at least it's something to do," said Sasuke. They all walked to Ms.Iyasei's home.

A few hours later at Ms.Iyasei's home

"Okay that's all thanks for helping me. I get moved in here just two day's ago I didn't think I'd get help that quickly." said Ms.Iyasei. "You look so young and you're living in here all by yourself?' asked Sakura. " We'll I am engaged my fiancée Kazuma is moving in with his little sister Konami a little later on." replied Ms.Iyasei. "Wow, a wedding do you think we could come!" asked Naruto all exited. "Sure, until we get everything planned that is." answered Ms. Iyasei. "Well, anyway it's getting late, I don't know about you two but I'm going home." said Sasuke walking off. "Wait Sasuke I'll come with you!" yelled Sakura, "bye Ms.Iyasei."

A few minutes later

"Where's the loser?" asked Sasuke. "He said he was gonna stay there a while," answered Sakura, "well Sasuke if you're not doing anything tomor . . . "Sakura was interrupted by Ino, "Hi, Sasuke long time no see." Ino jumped on Sasuke giving him a hug so tight he couldn't breathe," Well since I'm here we'll might as well walk home together." "Whatever," said Sasuke as she linked arms with him. "OH, HELLS NO, NO ONE TOUCHING SASUKE BUT ME." yelled inner Sakura. Sakura just ignored it by walking ahead of them. All she heard was Ino's annoying voice through the whole walk back home. Then that question came back to her head, does he really care for me? "Oh, of coarse he does, don't think like that." thought Sakura.

Konoha village 8:45 P.M.

"Well here's my house," said Sakura. She turned around and still saw Ino holding on to Sasuke's arm." Since my house is still a bit further along Sasuke," said Ino in the most annoying voice ever that Sakura ever heard," won't you walk me home, it's so scary out there in the dark." "No way Sasuke will ever say yes, right," said Sakura. "Alright, but let go of my arm," said Sasuke. "WHAT!" thought Sakura. They walked off, then Ino turned her head around and made the most annoying smirk EVER and turned back around. Sakura just marched straight into her house right into her room. When she got in she didn't even bother to turn on the light, she just fell on her bed. "Okay, now I know how you feel," wept Sakura, "then there isn't any point of me being anymore . . . "

The next day

"Hey sensei you're on time for once," said Naruto. "Yeah, hey um where's Sakura?" asked Kakashi, "She's never late." "Yeah, where is she?" asked Naruto. "I don't know, let's go to her house and find out." said Kakashi walking off. Naruto and Sasuke followed him to Sakura's house.

At Sakura's

Kakashi pushed the doorbell and Sakura's mom answered. Before Kakashi could say anything her mother interrupted him. "Sakura! Oh, your Sakura's teacher right." asked Sakura's mom," you don't happen to now where Sakura's is do you. I'm worried sick."

"No, we don't that's what we came here," said Kakashi.

And yesterday was the last time anyone ever saw her . . .
