Author's notes: i re-watched the movie road to ninja along with the two related episodes; the one where the other Sakura goes to the normal Naruto world with amnesia and sees her parents and the one with Naruto and the gang going to the bath house, these gave me the inspiration to write this. i thought it'd be kind of fun to write about the other Sakura and her life, some details have been changed like how long she was over there, just small stuff. Anyway please review and let me know what you think! (:

Edit: it came to my attention that i accidently made Menma too much like Naruto so i have gone back and changed a few things around.

Disclaimer: i do not own Naruto!

I walked out of the Hokage's office and started heading for home. I was exhausted and couldn't wait to crawl into my bed. I was relieved that Tsunade already knew about the alternate dimension. I agreed to tell her all about the other side tomorrow morning. I also needed to see Menma at the hospital tomorrow, I can't believe a battle took place on the edge of the village and I missed it! According to Tsunade, Menma had been possessed by a guy from the alternate world so we just had to hope the other Sakura and the other Menma… Naruto, the other Ino called him… can capture him and deal with it.

I walked up the steps leading to my house and unlocked the door. I switched on a light and took off my shoes, placing them neatly by the door. It felt good to be home… although, I am going to miss those two… it was nice having parents for a few days… even if they weren't really mine…

"I wonder if the other Sakura bought any food." I pondered as I walked into my kitchen.

My jaw practically hit the floor at what I saw. There were dirty dishes piled in the sink, trash everywhere, and empty cans littered all over my table and floor.

"What the hell?! Was she raised in a barn?!" I snapped angrily.

I was too exhausted to deal with it right now; I'll take care of it in the morning.

Seeing the disastrous condition of my home, I lost my appetite and just wanted to crawl into bed. My bedroom was just as bad. Clothes were thrown all over my room and my bed looked like it hadn't been made since I left, I didn't want to risk seeing the bathroom or the rest of the house right now. Tsunade may have to wait awhile; I'm going to need to clean this place up…

I crawled into my bed and fell into a restless slumber. I awoke hours later to a knock on my door.

I rolled over and looked at it, I could see Sasuke's silhouette on the other side.

Sasuke… what's he want? It's not like we have a mission today or anything…

"Just a sec!" I called out and quickly changed clothes, straightening my hair out and making myself look presentable.

I walked over and opened the door.

"Yeah?" I asked staring at him.

"Ah! Sakura…" he said surprised.

"What?" I said giving him a 'what the fuck' look.

He almost looked like he wasn't expecting me to be here…?

"When did you get back?" he asked still regarding me curiously.

"Last night?" I said still giving him a 'what the fuck' look. "…Did you need something?"

"Well… I sort of had a date…" he said smiling sheepishly at me.

"Date?" I repeated confused.

"Yeah. A date." He nodded.

He doesn't mean a date with…

"But, I'm glad you're back. I missed you." He said, pulling out one of his roses and handing it out to me.

I scowled at it and rolled my eyes at him. I can't believe she actually agreed to go out with him.

"How many times have I told you that I don't want your stupid flowers?" I snapped angrily, scowling.

"The other Sakura accepted it happily." He said still holding it out to me.

"…You could really tell the difference between us?" I asked skeptically.

"Aa. It was kind of hard at first since they looked just like you guys."

"They?"

"Menma and Sakura got replaced… I don't know why you went to their side while Menma didn't. They may have looked exactly like you but… they acted strange. It didn't take me long to figure it out."

That was a relief, I was glad that Sasuke could tell the difference… but, if he asked her out on a date, like a date date then does that mean he likes her better? I wish I could have met her Sasuke, to see what he was like… I want to know if he's just as much of an annoying player as this one is…

"Ne, what else did that girl do while I was gone?" I asked him.

"If you want answers then you gotta go on a date with me Sakura." Sasuke grinned.

"Absolutely not." I snapped harshly.

"Sakura, do you sleep naked?" he asked me suddenly.

"Hah?!" I asked startled, feeling my face flush bright red.

Why would he ask me that of all things?!

"The other Sakura opened the door in your bathrobe so I was curious." He smiled happily.

"B-ba-bathrobe?!"

"Mhm! It looked really cute on you." He continued to grin.

"Stupid pervert Uchiha!" I yelled, slamming my door shut in his face.

Why would she do that?! Did she sleep naked? Oh god, now I'm going to have to wash my sheets… damn that girl…

If she let Sasuke see her in her bathrobe… what else did he see? Shit!

I turned around and swung open my door once more, he was still standing there holding his stupid rose.

"What else did she do?" I asked worriedly.

"Date!" he grinned making a peace sign.

I sighed heavily, feeling defeated.

"Give me fifteen minutes." I grumbled, walking back into my room.

"Why? You're already dressed right?" he asked staring at me.

"…I want to clean my place up before I go anywhere today." I muttered.

"Isn't it usually clean?" he asked poking his head into my bedroom. "Whoa! What happened in here?"

"That's what I'd like to know." I said with another sigh. "Ah! Sasuke, get out!" I yelled shooing him out of my bedroom. "Come back later."

"I can help you clean." He offered.

"No thanks." I hissed, shoving him out.

"You sure? I don't mind and it'll get done faster if we both clean." He said looking at me over his shoulder while I continued pushing him out.

"No!"

"But I don't want to wait…" he pouted.

"Then find some other girl to go on a date with you." I glared at him.

"Fine, fine. I'll wait." He said sitting on my railing.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes at him and walked back into my bedroom, closing and locking the door behind me.

I glanced over at him, he was still sitting there. Was he actually serious for once? He's asked me out on dates before but… never like this. What did she do to him that made him seem to just want her? Is she prettier? …No, Sasuke said we looked the same and that's the reaction I got on her side too so… maybe her personality is vastly different from mine? It seemed like most of my friends were different people and we did grow up in a completely different environments so it'd only make sense… but what kind of girl was she then? Was she a flirt too? Shy? Probably not violent like I am… maybe that's why Sasuke likes her…

I quickly pulled my bedding off and tossed it in the laundry hamper then I gathered all the dirty clothes and tossed those in too. I carried it down to the laundry room and started the first load then I tackled the kitchen. I hadn't noticed it last night but in the center of the table was a vase and one of Sasuke's stupid roses. Doesn't she know that he gives them to all the girls? But… she must have liked him if she accepted it… that idiot.

I dumped out the water and grabbed the flower, storming back to my room. I was amazed that Sasuke was still out there waiting.

"Done already?" he asked sitting up straight as I opened the door.

"Here." I said handing it out to him.

"Huh?" he questioned looking at it.

"I don't want this."

"But I gave it to you…" he frowned.

"No, you gave it to her." I argued.

"But she looks exactly like you so it should count as giving it to you." he smiled happily.

"But we're different people and you knew that so it doesn't count. Take this back." I growled.

"…Sakura, why do you hate it so much? The other Sakura… she acted completely different towards me. She was overjoyed to see me and she looked speechless when I handed it to her, like she couldn't have been happier." Sasuke said frowning at the flower in my outstretched hand.

I rolled my eyes and snapped the stem in half, tossing it over the side of the railing, watching his eyes widen in surprise.

"If you give a flower to every girl you see, it no longer becomes a special, sweet, or unique gesture." I stated coldly, walking back into my house.

Yep, that girl loves Sasuke too. But, her Sasuke wasn't in the village so… I wonder what he's like. Maybe she was so happy because she hadn't seen her Sasuke in a long time? Well, she can borrow this one anytime she wants, the damn flirt.

Fifteen, twenty minutes later I finished cleaning my house. My clothes were in the dryer now and they could wait until later to be put away. When I walked back into my bedroom, Sasuke's shadow was no longer in the doorway. I walked over and opened it up.

He was gone. I should have known he wouldn't have gone on a serious date with me. He probably got bored with his dumb little game and left to go ask some other girl out… no, knowing him it's more likely to be girls, and lots of them. More girls than any one guy should be able to handle. Stupid perverted Uchiha…

I stormed off to go see the Hokage and talk to her about the other side. When I was done filling her in on everything, I hurried off to the hospital to check on Menma.

"Oy! Itty tities! Where do you think you're going?!" Hinata yelled, walking towards me.

Oh no, not her. Hinata was the last person I wanted to see right now… second to last actually, Uchiha was last on my list…

"I was going to check on my teammate. Is that a problem?" I asked staring her down, I refused to let this brute of a woman intimidate me.

"Yeah, it is. I told you, Menma is mine!" she snapped angrily.

"How many times must I tell you that I'm not interested in Menma?" I protested.

"Liar! You've been all over him the last few days and I've had it! I won't let you go play nurse for him while he's recovering! That's my job!"

She was all over Menma and Sasuke?! …Wait, Menma was possessed by some guy… she must mean Naruto, I guess Hinata couldn't tell the difference between the two.

"I'm not trying to! I just wanted to check on my teammate, that's all." I said still arguing with her.

"Fine, but if you touch him I'll fucking kill you!" She snapped, activating her Byakugan.

"H-Hai…" I nodded before slipping into the hospital.

God, Hinata can be terrifying sometimes. Poor Menma, having such a psychotic person in love with him… Hinata is probably the only girl safe from Sasuke's playboy antics. Everybody but Menma knows she's madly in love with him so there's no point in Sasuke even trying… I bet if she was a more normal girl, it wouldn't stop him from attempting… that damn annoying flirt.

I hurried off to Menma's room, knowing if I didn't make this quick I'd end up in a fight with that crazy violent bitch.

"Sakura! It's good to see you're back." Minato said smiling at me.

Oh no, these two met her too?

"It's good to be back." I said politely.

"Thanks for always taking such good care of my little Menma." Kushina said smiling sweetly at me.

"Well, he is my teammate. It'd be difficult to work together if we didn't get along. How is he?"

Menma was sound asleep on the hospital bed.

"He should be just fine. We're expecting him to wake up sometime tomorrow." Minato said smiling down at his son.

"Glad to hear it. I just came by to check on him so I really should be going." I said to the two.

"…Sakura, if you ever need anything or feel like having a home cooked meal from time to time, our door is always open." Kushina grinned at me.

I looked at the two surprised. Naruto must have had an effect on them. In their world, it was me who had parents and it was his that died as heroes… I wish I could have spoken with him, someone that can truly understand my pain and loneliness…

"Thanks Kushina, I'll keep that in mind." I smiled at her before heading off.

Much to my relief, Hinata wasn't waiting for me like I had expected her to be.

"Sakura! There you are." Sasuke said coming towards me.

Oh boy, now what does he want?

"Hm?" I asked barely glancing at him.

I kept on walking and made him keep up with me.

"Sorry, I thought I'd only be gone for a minute but when I came back you weren't home. I was really planning on taking you out on a date today." Sasuke apologized.

At least, I think it was an apology, certainly a half assed one at best…

"I thought about what you said… so here. This is for you." Sasuke pulled out a red arbutus flower.

"Sasuke…" I whispered staring at it.

Arbutus flowers mean I only love you, and the meaning fits so perfectly with what I lectured him about earlier but… does Sasuke know flower meanings? Does he consider them when buying flowers? Or is this just a coincidence? Maybe I should ask Ino about it…

"Take it. This one is just for you Sakura… that's what you wanted right? A flower just for you?"

I bit my lip and slowly nodded my head, taking it from him.

"…Thank you." I mumbled, feeling embarrassed for some odd reason.

I know I shouldn't be, he's a total flirt and he does stuff like this all the time with all girls so to him it's not a big deal at all but… somehow, even though I know this probably doesn't mean anything… my heart is still racing.

"Sure." He smiled at me. "You hungry? We could grab dinner."

"I'd like that." I said, biting my lip to keep myself from smiling too much or sounding too eager. "But first, let me stop off at my house… I don't want it to wilt."

"Okay."

Sasuke followed me to my house and inside, I filled the vase that was already out back up with water then I placed the flower in it and set it in the center of the table. It looked really good there, it made me happy to see it. Maybe because this was a flower Sasuke had handpicked for me and me alone, something that none of the others girls will ever get… it certainly made me feel special.

Sasuke and I left my house and headed for a nearby tea shop. Menma loved ramen and Sasuke loved sweets. It was impossible getting the two of them to agree on a place whenever we ate out together and if I went with just one, I always stuck with either ramen or tea houses. It got kind of old but I didn't mind too terribly much. It's better than eating dinner by myself in that big empty house of mine. Now that I'm back, the place feels even lonelier than ever…

"Sakura." Sasuke said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I looked up at him, wondering if he'd said something because our food had arrived but it hadn't. Looks like he just wanted to talk.

"It worries me when you make such a sad face. You can tell me your troubles. Don't I always tell you that I'll always be by your side?" he said calmly staring into my eyes.

"Mou! How many times have I told you not to say that kind of stuff in front of me?!" I snapped, folding my arms across my chest in annoyance.

He says that to all the girls and I hate it! Always going on about how he'll always be there for each of them. Hmph! Stupid Uchiha… and to think, I thought he had actually learned something for once and was being sincere… how stupid can a girl get? Idiotic perverted flirtatious jerk…

"Let me guess… she fell for that stupid line too, didn't she?" I huffed, glancing at him.

"Yeah. She looked so adorable when I said it too, she was all smiles. I was hoping you might make a similar expression if I said it to you too. But… you reacted the same as always."

"Well forgive me for being immune to your charm, Uchiha." I said rolling my eyes at him.

"Na, Sakura. What was the other Sasuke like?" he asked me.

I frowned and looked away from him.

"He wasn't mean to you was he? Did he do something to hurt you?" Sasuke asked, getting alarmed and over protective due to my sudden solemn expression.

"No, nothing like that. I didn't get to meet him." I shrugged. "He wasn't in the village."

"…I see. That explains their strange reaction when they first saw me then." Sasuke chuckled.

"Strange reaction?" I inquired.

"Yeah. Menma and Sakura were making a fuss and being weird in the center of town so I asked them what the fuss was all about and they flipped. Menma even went as far as to ask me what I was doing there… but I guess if their Sasuke isn't around then it makes sense that they'd respond like that. I wonder what he's like…"

"I know he's not a player." I stated staring at him coldly.

"You asked about him?" Sasuke smirked flirtatiously at me.

"No." I said as venomously as I could muster. "When I got there I couldn't remember anything. Ino found me and tried to help me remember stuff. She brought me to Naruto's home first but he wasn't there because he was… well, here."

"Who's Naruto?" Sasuke asked confused.

"Oh! Over there Menma's name is Naruto." I explained.

"What kind of weird name is Naruto?" Sasuke laughed. "Oh man, when Menma wakes up I'm going to start calling him that."

"Don't! You know he hates Naruto in his ramen."

"That's why it's perfect! I wonder if that guy hated Menma in his ramen then." Sasuke continued to laugh.

I couldn't help but laugh too at the absurdity of it all.

"So what happened after Ino took you to Menma- I mean Naruto's place."

"She mentioned that I had another teammate named Sasuke. I didn't have any recollection of you or anything else though so she began talking a bit more about him to try and help me remember I guess. As she was describing him I blurted out the word player and she told me that was wrong. Beyond that, I don't know anything about him."

"So cruel…you really think so little of me that even when you have amnesia all you can recall is that?" Sasuke pouted at me.

"Sorry." I laughed at his playful expression. "It's not like I selectively lost my memories or anything. Tell me more about the other Sakura. Do I need to do any damage control or anything?"

"Um… beware of Hinata." Sasuke warned.

"Oh I already ran into her and dealt with that mess." I said shaking my head. "Hinata looked like she was going to kill me. But crisis averted, I'm still standing. Anything else?"

"Not really. She was just as nice as you were to the kids and the other villagers… besides being really excited to see me, she wasn't that much different than you. Naruto wasn't all that different from Menma either. He was just as loud and annoying as he always is. I'm not sure if anyone else even noticed you two were different people."

I breathed a grateful sigh of relief, I was worried I'd have to do some serious damage control around here but… apparently everything was fine… wait, he said she wasn't that much different than me. So then how did she get him to agree to a date date? Was it just because she bought into all his silly gimmicks and lines or… was it something else she did?

"You're sure nothing else happened?" I asked looking at him as the waitress brought us our food, drooling over Sasuke.

For once, he didn't acknowledge another girl. He was too busy trying to think. He began to shake his head no when a thought crossed his mind. He quickly lowered his gaze, remembering something else.

"What is it?" I asked him, fearing the worst as I took a bite of my food.

If she was willing to open the door in her bathrobe, god only knows what else she is capable of.

"Well, there was the bath house incident on the first night…" Sasuke muttered.

"Bath house incident?" I asked, still eating.

Yep, here it is, the moment I was afraid of… please don't tell me she came onto you in the bathhouse, anything but that… if you saw her naked, I don't know if I can face you ever again… we might be different people but we still look exactly alike… so seeing her nude is equivalent to seeing me nude…

"You don't have to look so scared. It's not what you're thinking." Sasuke chuckled. "Lee fell through the roof of the women's bath house and Hinata caught Neji trying to peek, that's all." Sasuke said waving away my worries with his hand.

"That's it?" I asked, releasing the breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding, immensely relieved it was just normal everyday stuff.

Lee and Neji's pervertedness is normal, I can handle that. No problem.

"You looked even cuter just wrapped in a towel." Sasuke said smiling innocently at me.

I choked on my food at his words. I picked up my glass of iced tea and took a sip to stop me from choking, once I was no longer in danger of suffocation I stood up.

"Stupid perverted Uchiha!" I yelled angrily at him, pouring my tea on his head before rushing out the door.

First he tells me he saw me in my bathrobe, now he tells me he saw me in just that skimpy towel they give you at the bath house! Could this day possibly get any worse?! This is humiliating! No wonder he liked her so much, she probably would have slept with him too if she had enough time! She clearly wasn't afraid to show off the goods… does that mean that her and the other Sasuke have 'that' kind of relationship? She was only here for a few days but she'd already done so much, she must just be used to being around him like that, having him see her like that… maybe she thought that was how we were too? He certainly could have given her that impression if the other Sasuke doesn't normally use cheap lines and gives out flowers…Dammit! Stupid, stupid, stupid! I hate him! I hate him! I hate him! Why did I ever have to fall in love with such a womanizing, flirtatious, man whore! Damn Sasuke Uchiha and his drop dead gorgeous looks. I hate him!

I ran all the way home, never once looking back. Once I was inside I pulled my clothes out the dryer and put away my laundry and made my bed. When I was done I buried myself under the blankets. I wanted to curl up and die, I was so humiliated. Why did it have to be Sasuke of all people to witness such horrible things?! Anyone but him would have been acceptable… but he… what am I going to do?! I feel like I can't show my face around him ever again… the other Sakura is so horrible… I want to just crawl into a bottomless hole and never ever come out again…
