A Change Of Heart

It's been a year since Sasuke left Konoha, and Sakura, the last Shinobi that saw him in this said village found herself sitting on the exact same bench the young Uchiha left her in. Sakura was staring out into space remembering everything that happened on that terrible day.

"That was the first time I told him my true feelings." Sakura gritted her teeth, "But that low scum only ignored me, called me annoying and to make matters worst he knocked me out." Sakura felt tears clouding her vision, "Next time I see him I am going to..." She stopped trying to stop her tears from coming out. "...I'm gonna kick the shit out of him and make him pay for the pain he brought to me!" Sakura yelled causing the birds that were hiding in a tree to fly away.

Time Skip (4 years, which makes them around twenty-ish)

Sakura was in the hospital tending to a new group of Anbu's, that were all deadly injured. For the past year all of Konoha was in turmoil. And everyone was under a schedule, because if anything was done incorrectly there would be trouble. All ninja's were either working,protecting,fighting or dieing. And the peasants and any child under 13 were hiding in the cave near the hokage's faces (sorry I didn't know where the hid exactly...- -'). The busiest people were the medics, Sakura being the busiest.

Sakura's Schedule

4:00 a.m-Wake Up

4:05 a.m-Shower

4:15 a.m-Walk to Work

4:30 a.m-Say hi to whoever was working front desk

4:40 a.m-Talk to Ino about latest news(gossip)

4:50 a.m to 11:40 p.m Work

11:50 p.m eat dinner

12:00 p.m Sleep/day dream

But of course not everyday was that relaxing, like the time when Team Gai found Sasuke and Karin and fought endlessly until they had to fall back. Tenten being Sakura's friend and all didn't want to tell her what they found Sasuke and Karin doing. But Lee being Sakura's #1 fan, as Naruto kindly put it announced to Sakura his proclamation of love and all that crap, and adding that Sasuke was giving Karin a hickey right above her shoulder blade. Sakura felt like a knife was thrown right at her heart, but she didn't show it. So Sasuke found himself a whore, to have his children with... she said to herself when she left the room.

But surprisingly today was a bit different, Team Kakashi came back, everyone okay except for Yamato who was exhausted due to Naruto and The Fox. "Sakura-chan how is the healing thing going." Naruto asked grinning ear to ear.

"It's f-" Before Sakura could respond sai interuppted her.

"Dickless don't forget, why we came here." Naruto glared at Sai before turning to Sakura with a very stern face.

"Sakura, we are about to encounter the battle of our lives. We found Sasuke's hide-out and as I remember correctly, you said you were going to help me, bring back Sasuke-teme."

Sakura had a flashback of when Naruto came back after chasing after Sasuke. "Yeah I remember." Sakura looked down in deep thought, Do I really want that son of a bitch back here after what he did...

"Hellllll No!" Sakura's inner screamed back. "Leave that whore with him so they can have ugly babies and live in a dumpster truck and die of starvation and have pet rats and let Sasuke feel like a idiot and come running back to you and turn him down and let him cry like a pussy!"

Sakura was dumbfounded, her inner hasn't spoken in years, I don't know... You know what I guess your right I ain't coming to get him back, not after what he did to me."Naruto I'm sorry, but I can't leave I am needed her, and Tsunade-sama will be mad if I left."

"That's okay Sakura I already asked and Shizune is going to take your place." Naruto responded, feeling all high and mighty.

Sakura felt like ripping that sad smile of his face, "Great. When do we leave?" she answered trying her best to look happy.

"Now." Sakura turned around to see her ex-sensei putting away his old Icha-Icha book in his pocket, "We need to get back as soon as possible so I can get started on continueing the Icha-Icha series."

Just to clarify I am following the Manga and if you haven't been reading it (SPOILER AHEAD) Jiriya dies, Asuma dies, Kurenai is pregnant with Asuma's child...
