Hello everyone, it's been a long time coming but I'm here now! lol (quoting CL from 2ne1) Who else likes Korean pop groups?
Introducing my new story! I hope you'll enjoy it.
I'll try my best to make this one really interesting, and also make it look good as far as the spelling and wording. Lol i know i miss a few sometimes
but I'm only human. ( or am I? jk)
So the characters in this story will mostly be described and acting as themselves, a bit of OOC will be thrown in the mix too. Rating this M just to be
safe cause who knows what'll happen ;D I don't really write hard core lemon stuff cause it's kinda hard for me to write that kinda stuff without
feeling embarrassed xD Those who can though are skilled. Probably more mild lime (if that's what you call it) stuff in my story though so there will
be steamy scenes :) Believe it!
Just to clarify, so as to not confuse anyone...
Of course everyone knows what " " those are
but
When a character is thinking, I will use ' ' to separate their thoughts from actual spoken dialogue.
I know a lot of different people use different things to separate certain words, so just to say.
I hope you enjoy and Thanks for clicking on my story :D
(Update , I forgot to type this before I published. My apologies :P)
Also, before you start reading away, here's just a little description for you. :)... the younger characters ages range from 17-18.
Sakura- 17 only difference is Sakura's hair has grown longer (mid back length) She is
Sasuke-17 For Sasuke...( in this story, he wears the outfit he used with the gray shirt with the raised collar, and large rope to hold his pants (spiked hair w/bangs in the front.)
Naruto- 17 - His usual Shippuden outfit :D yeeeuhh.
You can probably figure out the rest of the characters ages if they pop up. lol
disclaimer. P.S. I do NOT own Naruto in any way shape or form, Just the plot to this fan story. disclaimer.
Tsunade the current Hokage of the village of Kohana faced the large wall-sized window as she stared out into the blue skies that covered her beloved village. Her
golden eyes hardened as her mind set on she heard three knocks on her office door, followed by scattered footsteps. She voiced for them to come in without turning to see whom it was, because she already knew. "Sakura, come in."
The pink haired kunoichi slightly bowed as she walked up to her teacher's desk. "You called?" The blond woman swirled her office chair around to face her student and looked up at her with stern eyes. "I have a mission for you and your team."
Sakura nodded and continued to listen."So, Sai is already back from his escort mission, Lady Tsunade?" Her teacher shook her head. "No not at all, he's still making his way to the mist village. When I said team, I meant team 7." When she spoke those words, they continued to ring in Sakura's ears. 'Did she just say what I thought she said?'
'Tch, of course we heard her right, she's talking about the old team with Naruto and Sasuke!' 'Stay out of it, I don't think I can work with him...'
'Cha, of course we can.'
"Uhm, Team...7?" Tsunade slightly raised a brow as she looked at her questionably. "Why yes, you don't remember?" Sakura shook her head. "No..no it's just, I haven't worked together with those two in such a long time." The Hokage slightly smirked as she crossed her arms in the front of her chest. "Well, it's about time to. Since you are the most skilled medic Shinobi in this village I chose you for this mission, in case anything were to happen on the way there and back. As for Naruto, he has been itching to go on another run."
Sakura nodded as her teacher rambled on about Naruto and his charismatic personality. Looking back up at a spacing Sakura, she stopped
her words and raised her stern voice. "Sakura!" This made the pinkette jump. "Yes teacher?" "Were you listening or is something else on your mind? You looked spaced
out." Sakura was caught, so she explained. "Lady Tsunade...couldn't Kakashi Sensei come along with us instead, or how about Shikamaru or even Kiba?" Tsunade
slammed her fist against her polished wooden desk. "Most definetly not! You know when I pick someone, I pick them for a good reason.
Uchiha is very skilled in his own way which makes him a perfect addition to this mission. Listen, I know how you feel about a certain person that will be joining you, but you must push those uneasy feelings aside for this mission and work together efficiently.
Team 7 will be reunited on my order. Understood?" Sakura quickly shut her mouth and bowed her head as she knew if she protested any more, she would face great consequences . Sure all three have been on multiple missions since Sasuke's return, (which was nearly one year ago) , but never all three on the same team. "I understand..."
As she watched her student bow apologetically for complaining, Tsunade continued on. "Team 7 will go on an important rescue mission, the person in our interest will be the The land of fire's Prince, Junichi Fujimoto. He's been kidnapped by the infamous group of bandits known as The Yami (which mean Darkness)The golden haired leader handed Sakura a picture of the group of criminals which consisted of 8 rough looking men. Her emerald orbs scanned the picture thoroughly, before she placed it back on the desk. When she brought her eyes up to look at Tsunade once more, she saw an angry expression upon her face. "What's wrong Lady Tsunade?" The older woman arose from her comfy seat and slammed both her hands down upon her desk once more as she glared at the door. "Tch, Those 2 idiots are late! I wanted them to be here when I explained the mission details." Sakura looked down at her own feet as she listened to her teacher complain about Naruto and Sasuke.
'This is going to be so awkward...facing Sa...I can't even say his name for goodness sake! How am I going to work with him?' Inner Sakura began to intervene.
'Cha, jeez, enough with avoiding him already, you know you want talk with him and learn about him all over again. And I'm sure he wants to talk to us too. I mean come on, Sasuke's earned the trust of all the villagers and mostly all the shinobi too, so why can't you trust him too?' '
'Ugh, not you again...I do trust Sasuke, look I am not going to spend my time on this mission drooling over him, sure he's back and he's not a threat to us anymore but I don't think I'll be able to connect with him the way I used to.'
'HA! connect? I don't think we ever really connected with him cause he always thought we were annoying and useless. Plus, the most memorable encounter we had with him was when he tried to kill us when we intervened with his fight with Kakashi Sensai, don't you remember? cause I most definitely do.'
'Whatever, he was a very close friend. I loved him for who he was, even though I did once doubt he would ever come back to us... but he did and that's all that matters now.'
Snapping back to reality, Sakura focused her attention back to Tsunade, whom was still complaining. Suddenly, there were four knocks on the door. The disgruntled blond
voiced them to come in as she crossed her arms across her chest. "Hmp...you two are late!" Walking in came a grinning, loud blond man followed by a handsome raven haired man.
Sakura dared not look back at the two as they entered, her eyes were glued to Tsunade. "Sorry Grandma, we got caught up with Kakashi Sensei. Heh... I won a bet and got some coupons for free ramen for a whole freaking week!"
The Hokage sat back down as she brushed off his excuse, then began explaining the mission to the two men. Naruto held a thumbs up towards her and smiled after she was finished with the important details. "You three be ready by 7 AM tomorrow morning, be sure to prepare your things." All three nodded in agreement. "Alright! I'm ready when you guys are then." The fox-like man grinned at his old team mates as he put his arms around the both of their shoulders. "This will be great, just like old times!" With that last excited remark, he left the Hokage's office and proudly walked down the hall.
Sakura grew tense as she and Sasuke were now standing side by side, facing Tsunade. Noticing how the two were still there, Tsunade looked up from her desk at the two and rambled. "Are there any questions you two have?" Sakura shook her head and bowed. "No.." Before Sasuke could speak, Sakura turned and left her office in a hurry.
Sasuke bowed with respect towards the Hokage and turned his back quietly and left. He walked all the way to the end of the hall and peered around the corner just a bit to see if the pinkette was anywhere to be found, but saw nothing. He stood there for a minute, feeling her presence before he left to exit the building. Sakura let her breathe leave her body as she sighed relief. "That was too close..."
Outside the capital building...
Naruto caught up with Sasuke and invited him to join him at his favorite Ramen shop. "Since you've been gone, their Ramen recipes have improved! You've gotta try these with me...why are your Sharingan activated?" The handsome raven haired man slightly smirked as his eyes returned to their normal mesmerizing onyx color. "No reason." Of course he had a reason, he wouldn't use it just to look any cooler than he already was, if that was even possible. This was the only way he could even come close to Sakura without actually being by her side.
Seeing her chakra and her actual being, through that wall at the Capital building earlier just reassured his theory that she didn't want to talk with him or even run into him. He wanted to at least say hello every once in a while if she really didn't want to interact with him. It actually bothered him deep inside, that she didn't want to talk to him, nevertheless look him in the eyes. He had already gave his apologies to her as soon as he came back nearly a year ago, and she had accepted his apology whole heatedly, so what was the reason she put a wall up between them? This was what he wanted to find out.
The devilishly handsome raven haired man took the menu in hand and ordered a bowl of spicy ramen with a glass sake. While they waited for their order, they chatted about casual things until Sasuke asked a random question. "So...how is Sakura?" Naruto blinked and answered. "Oh Sakura chan? She's doing well, she's currently a nurse at the hospital now, but you would know that already." Sasuke just looked at the chopsticks in his hand and replied. "No, actually." Naruto looked at his friend, puzzled. "Hm? Haven't you talked to her since you came back? I mean it's been nearly a year." Sasuke shook his head. "Hn. I haven't had the chance to." Not having the chance to, meaning Sakura avoided him most of the time when they passed by each other in the streets. "Ah, I see... well yeah, she works at the hospital as registered nurse. She usually works in the emergency department." Sasuke fiddled with his chopsticks. "Well Sasuke, at least we'll all be together again for the first time in forever! We can all bond again, Hahaha I can't wait." It felt like sun beams were radiated from Naruto's body, Sasuke almost needed sun glasses to shield his eyes from how bright Naruto beamed with happiness. As he watched Naruto laugh and chat more about Sakura, they received their bowls of ramen. He stared into his steaming lunch and spoke more to himself than to his excited friend. "Hn...me neither."
And that's a wrap!
