Prologue
"But Sakura-chan." Our favorite blonde idiot wined.
"No, is no, Naruto. Besides didn't Tsunade-shishou threw you out of the window already?"
Naruto flinched as the event popped up in his mind again.
Flashback
"Granny, I demand to join the mission!" I shouted at her as I opened or rather stormed through the door.
"I take it that you mean your teammates' mission." She said as she was signing multiple records.
"Teammates?" I asked confused.
"Yes, teammates. Sai is joining her on the mission." I walked up towards her desk and slammed my hand on it. "And why is it that I can't join them?!" I practically screamed.
Her pen suddenly snapped as she looked me right in the eyes. "Sakura can handle herself. Besides you were greatly injured on your last mission."
I slammed my other hand on the table as I remembered Hidan and Kakazu. "So why don't you send out Shizune, instead of her?"
"Because she is already part of the mission." She spat in my face.
"But…" I was unable to finish my argument as an office chair hit my face. I stumbled back and hit the window.
"Just believe in her alright." And with that she flicked her finger against my forehead and I flew out of the window.
Flashback end
"Don't worry about me," she reassured " it's just a simple mission. We only need to help Suna with their hospital and take some supplies back. It won't take longer than a week and a half"
"Yes, but what if you need to let your anger out." I tried to convince her.
"That's where Sai comes in," she stopped and turned around " speak of the devil, he's already walking towards us."
"Yo Ugly and Dickless" he greeted us so casually that I couldn't help but flinch again.
"It seems thar you guys are already getting used to my nicknames."
"No Sai, we will never get used to it." I reassured him.
Totally ignoring me, he whispered something into Sakura's ear.
"You have to be kidding me." She semi-shouted out. She turned her attention towards me and said: "Sorry, but Shizune is already waiting at the gate. I need to go now."
She turned around and leaped towards the nearest rooftop.
"Goodbye Sakura-chan!" I screamed after her.
She turned her head towards me and screamed back: " No goodbye, but see you later. You know we promised each other 'to always return home.'"
Flashback
I was walking out of the gate as I heard somebody walking towards me. I turned around and saw my exhausted teammate running towards me.
"Go kid, I will be waiting." Jiraiya said.
I watched as he walked on and my teammate closing in on me.
"Naruto, wait!" She screamed from a distance.
"Hey there Sakura-chan, what brings you here?"
"I wanted to say goodbye" She began as she caught her breath "and to talk to you about something."
"What do you want to talk about then?"
"I have two things to say. First," she breathed deep in and gave me a determined look "if you're leaving to train you better be a lot stronger, cause otherwise what would be the fun of catching up with you guys?"
I laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of my head "You better watch out. Cause when I'm back, I will be able to do the bell-test again and defeat Kakashi-sensei together with you."
She smiled at me and continued on "Secondly, promise me to always return home." She suddenly embraced me into a hug and whispered softly "Don't leave me like…"
I hugged back and shushed her as I calmed her down.
"Brat, are you coming or not. I'm about to leave." My white haired pervert screamed as he lost his patience.
I grunted and released the hug "Seems it's time for me to go."
I began to walk away as she shouted for the last time "Goodbye!"
I turned my head towards her and shouted back: "No goodbye, but see you later."
Flashback end
Nostalgia overwhelmed me as I watched he jump away towards the gate.
What do you think?
This fic is inspired by another story that I red, it wasn't that long but it had a good potential into becoming something more. Sadly enough it didn't continue on for more than a few chapters:(
I will mention the story sometime in another chapter, as I don't want to spoil anything.
Next chapter: Chapter 1
