Team 7 had reunited soon after Sasuke returned. By then, Naruto was dating Hinata, Ten Ten was dating Neji, and Ino and Shikamaru. Everything had changed except for Sakura's love for Sasuke.


It's been so long Sakura thought. She looked at the water beneath her at the bridge where team 7 would meet. She smiled softly, letting the memories flood her mind.

It had been six years since Sasuke left, and everybody had grown up physically; maturity had also set in. Sakura had grown up to be extremely beautiful. Her pink hair was still short, but was layered. The big green eyes weren't big and innocent anymore, but instead were smaller and much sexier. She had grown into her figure and her chest had become larger. She was still short tempered, but had become a lot quieter. Sakura had become a powerful female ninja and medical nurse. She also taught the younger children in her free time at the academy. The one thing that hadn't changed was that she was still single. Even Lee had a girlfriend, a medical nurse named KiKi. Shino was with Kin (whoa, didn't see that one coming! Oo), and Kiba was with Temari (didn't see that one either Oo).

Naruto had become very handsome, her blond hair was still spiky, and his features had soften. Hinata had become stronger and her self confidence had grown 100 more since she had been dating Naruto. She had also grown into her figure and her hair was shorter (picture Saya's hair from Black Cat). She and Neji had become closer and were recently living together as a family. Hinata had taken up archery and was teaching Naruto and Neji. In fact, she never missed her target, just like Ten Ten.

Neji looked the same, and so did Ten Ten, except she wore her hair down more often. Lee still hadn't changed and his girlfriend KiKi had short, pale blue hair and emerald eyes.

Shino looked the same, but Kin didn't. her hair was shorter and she put it in a ponytail tied with a yellow hair bow.

Kiba had become even more handsome. Temari looked the same except her hair had changed. It was now paler and was no longer in pig-tails.

Shikamaru was still the same Shikamaru and Ino was still the same Ino. Her hair was now a darker blond and had grown longer, but not as long as it was before. She still kept it in a high ponytail but with a pinkish-red hair band. Ino and Sakura had become best friends again, and they also became best friends with Hinata, Ten Ten, Temari, KiKi, and Kin. Kiba, Shino, Shikamaru, Naruto, Lee, and Naruto also became best friends.

Sakura sighed. They were her friends, sure, but it hurt to see everybody in love and her being all alone. She had tried dating Gaara (surprise there), but that didn't turn out well. In fact, Gaara had broken her heart.

She looked on wistfully when she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Sakura?"

Sakura spun around and stared at the man she thought she had lost.

"Sasuke?"
