Sakura sat on her bed listening to the rain pour from the sky. Board as usaul on rainy days she thought about what tommarow was. July 23. Sasukes birthday. Did he even really know how she really felt about him? No. Even if he did he would never love her back.

What should I get him. she though. Maybe a...no,no..he wouln't like that.How bout' a ...wait he already has 5 of those. I know what I can get him.. ARGH! This is hopeless. Maybe I shouldn't go. Yea he'd have more fun with out me there. I'll just make plans with Hinata and Ino.

There was a knock at the door.

"Sakura, You got a call." Mrs. Hurano smilied.

"Thank you mom."

Sakura took the telephone from her mothers hands and sat on her large, fluffy bed. She put her head to the ear peice.

"Hello? Oh hey Ino...Yeah I was...Oh well maybe...oh okay. Yeah thats fine Maybe another time then. Thanks for letting me know. Okay bye-bye"

Well there goes my plans with Ino. She thought. Well I guess you can't help it if you get a sudden mission.

Sakura fell back on her pile of pillows and closed her eyes. Sasuke..I love you so very much.

She began to cry.

Sasuke..I love you so much it hurts.

The clock on her bedside table read: 10:23 p.m. she closed her wet eyes and drifted off into a peaceful dream.

RING!!!!! RING!!!!! RING!!!!!!

"Hwlloe" A sleepy Sakura yawned.

"He.e.elo Sa..sakura"

"Oh hey Hinata. Am I late? Im so sorry I didn't mean to I just.."

" I havv.e too train to..oday. soo soo I can't go with yo..you."

"Oh thats okay, Hinata. Have fun training."

"He..llo" Choking back tears she stuttered.

" Hey, Its Tamari."

"Tamari? Your in Konaha?"

"Yeah! We got here yesterday."

"Yesterday! Cool! Oh..Wait what do you mean ' we'?"

" Well Kankuro, and Gaara are here of coarse!"

"Oh. Okay then just checking. SO do you want to go hang out or something?"

" Yeah sure...Is it okay if Gaara comes? Kankuro left him behind to go try out a new puppet he made, and I don't wanna leave Gaara all alone."

"Okay. WHere you wanna meet?

" How about in front of the record hall in say 10 minutes."

" Sure thing I can deal with that I just have to get dressed."

"O-kay then Sakura see you in a bit.Bye"

"Bye"

O-kay that worked out pretty well :) Sakura thought.

Running over to her dresser she slipped and feel face first onto the floor. Ouff!

"OWWW!!!! myy nose!"

She looked around to see what she possibly could have triped on in her neat,and clean room. A picture? Sasukes picture. Sakura reached and picked it up. It was a rare picture. A preacious picture to her. Sasuke was doing something no one had ever seen. Sasuke was actually smilieing in the picture.

Not wanting to be late Sakura got dress in a silky red dress with her clan symbol on it slit up to her thighs with green shorts underneither and then put on her Leaf SHinobi headband. She looked in the mirror before leaveing and smilied, as if saying "You look so cute" to herself, and ran out of her room down the stairs and out the front door of her house. The Record Hall was a 5 minute walk from her house and she didn't want to be late.

As she ran out of the corner of her eye she saw Sasuke walking down the street toward his apartement. SHe was about to stop and go talk to him, but then she remembered that Tamari and Gaara were waiting for her. She ran on. As she slowly approached the Record Hall she could see the blond of Tamari's hair and speed up. As she ran up to then she yelled a friendly hello.

"SA-KU-RA" Tamari said waving.

" HEY!!!!!" Sakura said.

Gaara just stood there like usaual. Emotionless and silence, Gourd on his back. Tamari and Sakura gave each other a hug and started laughing about tirvial things like the weather, stores, and clothes.

How did she ever talk me into this? Gaara thought. Man this is gonna be a lloooooong day. He shuffled a bit and crossed his arms on his chest.

"Ready to go Tamari?"

"Yea Lets Go!"

The three ninja walked away toward the shopping district of Konoha. Talking and being friendly towards each other. All the while Gaara being quiet.
