Waking up to the sun that creep through her window, with the birds singing gracefully outside. Stirring out of the sheets Sakura manage to get up and walk towards the bathroom. After a nice cool shower, she was heading out of the door and to the her Hokage's tower.

For Sakura; it felt nice to be seventeen and living in a peaceful village, with a strong sensei that taught her all that Sakura needs to know in this world.

"Sakura!" Waving a hand to Ino, Sakura smiled.

Ino Yamanaka was Sakura's closer friend than the rest of the others she knew around the village. They both had a huge fight over a selfish guy, Sasuke Uchiha, even though they both had a crush on them that destroyed their relationship. But later on within the years they realize that a boy is no reason to fight over.

"Hi."

"Heading to Tsunade-sama's aren't you?" Nodding recklessly Sakura smiled.

Shaking her head, Ino stifled and grin and resumed her running. Sakura turned to her thrown off direction and began walking again.

Konoha has been really quiet lately, with all the missions with Naruto and Kakashi there hasn't been much news from the hokage or anywhere else. It seems like half the of the hidden Leaf village is dying from boredom, or not talking to anyone. Something around that obstacle.

Getting closer and closer towards the hokage's tower, Sakura sighed and entered her tower. Entering her office, Tsunade was laying on her desk with her arms stretched across the top and her empty bottle of sake laid on it's side beside her elbow.

"Tsunade-sama?" Sakura repeated herself once again, but louder this time. She woke up shakily, knocking the glass sake bottle to the ground. The glass shattered; shards came flying in all directions. Without noticing, a scarlet, deep line appeared on the tip of Sakura's index finger. Blood slowly gushed out, and dripping onto the floor. She reluctantly placed her finger inside her mouth and licked the warm, exposing blood.

"Oh-uh sorry, Sakura." Tsunade rubbed her eyes.

She nodded while her eyes asked for a mission or a task for her to do. "Anything you want me to do today, Tsunade-sama?"

The known old woman who had the looks of a twenty year old rummaged through her stacks of papers that was scattered across her desk. "Uh-yes, Sakura." She pulled out a piece of paper from a huge stack. "I want you and the rest of your team to go to the Land of Hot springs. There; I need you to find Ginger Yamako, when she is found bring her to me, no matter what causes."

Sakura nodded at her hung over sensei with a little annoyance. "Yes ma'am." then slamming the door behind as she raced out.

Later with on the day; Sakura had to meet Naruto and Kakashi at village's main gates. After reaching there she spotted the two, arguing. Naruto was yelling random things at his sensei while Kakashi just said his "yeahs" and "sures" while he was reading his porno book. But for Sai he was watching the two.

"Kakashi-sensei! Listen to me, we need to find Sasuke now while we have the chance! I mean he's probably dead for all we know!" Naruto violently threw his hands up in the air.

"Sure, okay, why not?" Kakashi said randomly as he turned a page.

Sakura walked up to the two with her bag dangling from her shoulder. "Are we ready?"

After when Naruto brought up Sasuke, Sakura immediately felt under pressure. She loved him, but she wasn't sure if he felt the same way about her. It was hard to bare that Naruto oath his life for Sakura that he would bring back Sasuke if his whole life depended on it. I guess Naruto wanted to be his friend also, but it was always hard for Sasuke to nice to any of us; even his sensei. No matter what, one day, Team 7 will find Sasuke, even if it depended on our lives.

"Oh hello Sakura-chan!" Sai waved his hand joyfully. Sakura manage to exchange a smile to him and punch Naruto's arm. Naruto held his arm in pain, but still yelling and cursing everyone and just about everything.

Letting out a hopeless sigh, she began to walk out of the village with the rest of her team behind.

The Morning faded away as the afternoon came; the sun shined brightly and blindly in the blue sky. Just about everyone's stomachs were begging for food from Kakashi [Kakashi had to take all of their food because Naruto kept munching on them as walking].

Finally taking the time to lay down a blanket and open al of their food, Naruto was nearly drooling all over the blanket. "Naruto! Come on I just washed this blanket." Sakura shoved him backwards on the ground, leaving him breathless.

"Oh come on Sakura-chan!" Naruto exclaimed, "I haven't had breakfast."

Sakura gave him a dirty look. "You ate all my apples. I think that's good enough for you."

Naruto's mouth dropped open with disbelief. "Jeez, that's cold Sakura-chan."

Damn straight. Sakura thought with a glare. You had NO business peeping around in my bag.

'You should beat the shit outta him!' Sakura's inner shouted, throwing a fist up into the air.

I should. Sakura nodded but even if she did it wouldn't teach Naruto how to be an actual civilized man.

Moments later all of Team 7 began to eat there lunch quietly; not until Naruto's face went red. Sakura exchanged an awkward look to him, then Sai and Kakashi notice Naruto's facial expression. "What?" Kakashi was eating but he had a hole through his mask so he could actually eat [lol].

Naruto held his hand to his mouth with uncontrollable laughter. Now; his face was red as blood! "Sakura-Chan's-" Then he choked out a laugh as he was eyeing her breasts. Sakura's eyes widen then she looked down to see a black spider on her harden nipple [her nipple showed pretty badly]. Immediately she brushed off the spider and taking her arms and covering her chest, with a red, blushing face looking away. Look back at Naruto, Sakura could see a nicely sized budge exposing itself through Naruto's brightly colored pants. She could help but cough out the water that was half way down her throat. Sai and Kakashi looked at Naruto with skeptical looks upon their faces, then after scanning his body after a few seconds that both let out a loud snicker.

"What!?" said the obnoxious Naruto.

Sakura motioned her hand towards his pants. "Your horse just ran away from the barn." Naruto's body tensed then peeking his eyes down. "Oh shit!" Naruto held his hands against his pants, madly blushing.

After the lunch with the mini comedy show [for at least Sai and Kakashi]. Team 7 set off again on their mission. Little by little they were getting closer to the Land of Hot springs.

Night approached them quickly. Making the atmosphere around them chilly and tiring.

Everyone was pass asleep under a tall tree that stretched their limbs highly towards the stars. Sakura was the only that had a hard time sleeping. Tossing and Turning frustratingly under her thin knitted blanket. For some reason she couldn't get the thought of out her head that something bad was going to happen tonight.

With a sigh, Sakura forced herself up off the ground, holding her back in pain. Sleeping on the clod hard ground was not her kind of sleeping in nature. In her opinion sleeping in nature was sleeping a meadow full of grass that felt soft against her skin.

Earlier in the day; they past a nicely sized pond that have a soothing melody of a waterfall that connected to a corner of the pond. Sakura took her aching back and sluggishly walked over there. Then a loud groaning filled the atmosphere. Sakura confusingly looked around. Then the groaned sounded again and again. Racing towards the direction where the groan, the sound got louder and Sakura was able to make out that it was a man's groan. As it got louder, Sakura ran quicker, then she felt something banging into her legs causing her to fall on to the ground.

She twisted her foot on something was flexible and rock hard. Whatever it was it was groaning and cussing loudly. Groaning? Cussing? What the hell? Taking her eyes and follow down to the ends of her feet, what was by Sakura's feet was a guy's head! Not kidding. He had silver hair, eyes that was mix with purple and lavender, and was attracting Sakura instantly.

Dumbfounded, Sakura gazed at him. His dark aggravated eyes rolled onto her body, rolling on up to her face which had a speechless facial expression [ha-ha who here had looked like this in front of a guy?]. "What are you looking at?" he asked in a rude voice.

Sakura manage to shake off her staring show with this amazingly hot guy. "Oh-oh, uh, sorry about that." Sakura try to give him [failed] innocent laugh. All he did was give her a glare but was trying his best wipe a smirk off his face. "Tsk, right?"

"So why the hell are you in the ground?" Sakura winced as she rubbed her leg.

His eyes shifted from her leg to her eyes. Holding her gaze, making her shudder with excitement. "I got drunk on sake and crashed on the couch, so some of my friends decided play a stupid prank on me."

"Drunk? How old are you?"

"What does it look like to you." His tone got a little sexy but in a smartass sounding to it. Sakura shook her head as she studied his face. After a moment or two she came up with her answer. " Are you in your late 30's?"

His eyes grew wide with anger. "No! Oh hell no! I'm nineteen!" [he's young and yummy in my story bahaha!] A giggle escaped from Sakrua's lips, immediately trapping her mouth under her pale hand. His glare lighten as words floated from her lips. "So are you gonna get me outta the ground or what?"

"Only if you say please?" Sakura teased as she leaned closer towards his face. He locked onto her eyes again., holding each other's gaze for almost a whole minute! Then a little murmur filled the air between them. She leaned in closer, making her voice more smart ass-ish. "What? I didn't hear you?"

"I said please damn it!" He looked away frustratingly. Sakura try to figure out how to get him out of the ground, so twenty minutes later she came up with a plan.

[Yeah I don't know how to get him out of the ground…..so I'm just gonna switch time periods! Baha!]

Sakura was lying on the ground, panting along side with silver haired man who was inches away from her. "So what's your name pinky?" he rotated his head towards her direction. The was the first for anyone to call her pinky and get by with it. Was Sakura seriously falling a guy who she barely known? "Sakura. How about your name?"

"Hidan." he stared straight up towards the night sky. "Where am I anyway?"

"Well I know that we would be in the Land of Hot springs just in one day." Sakura said as Hidan grunted. Grunting must be guy language by said "we all good" or yeah okay you said, so shut the hell up now" .

Hidan got up and stood on his two feet as Sakura leaned up, looking at him. Hidan peeked an eye over his shoulder examining her. "So, I think I'm going to go back to our place."

Sakura nodded, "Do you even know where you live at?"

Hidan turned around, with a pointless expression on his face. "Well yeah, I've been living there for a while there?" Sakura nodded and trailed her eyes to a nearby tree. She didn't want him to go, she wanted to get to know this Hidan guy. She only known a few things about this guy. [1] He drinks. [2] He's seriously hot. [3] She had butterflies in her stomach every time he looks into her eyes.

He began walking away from Sakura. Sakura couldn't help herself but to let out a relieved sigh and a giddy smile across her face. Then after a few breathless moments she began walking to the others.

When she reached to her team's campsite she collapsed on her blanket and cuddled into it like a little child would hug their stuffed animal who had it ever since they were a baby. This time when she laid down, thoughts that Hidan guy flooded everything of her mind. Successfully she got to sleep that night that was nearing morning rapidly.

She had her peaceful dreams, relaxed, and sprawled out onto the grass, happily.
