A/N: Ok, this is my attempt at a rewrite of my story "Pure Happenstance". I wanted to make them older and more experienced, and the story to have better writing. Let me know if it worked! It's kind of short, but hopefully I'll be updating quickly.


Sakura was sitting on the ground, watching Saskue and Naruto spar. They would injure each other seriously fairly soon, she would heal them, they would insult each other and begin fighting again. It was a cycle that tended to repeat itself on her days off from work and training. She didn't mind too much, she was just glad that they were alive and with her, not locked up somewhere or with a snake-wielding pedophile. She shuddered slightly at the thought of Orochimaru.

"So they're at it again." Kakashi's voice interrupted her thoughts. She glanced up to see him standing there, nose buried in his book.

"Yep. They're almost done though." Sakura responded, noting that both were beginning to slow, although most would say that they were going at harder than ever. They only did that right before they stopped.

"Hm. I suppose I should wait before I make my announcement." He said. Sakura frowned.

"What announc-" A blast of light cut her off, temporarily blinding her. She leapt into a defensive stance, despite not being able to see the threat, or even if there was one.

"Naruto, if this is you, I'm going to kill you!" She yelled.

"It's not me, Sakura-chan!' He called.

"Saskue?" She growled. The light was still going, and it better not be some sort of attempt at leaving.

"Hn. No." Was the only reply.

"Kakashi-sensei?" She checked just in case this was some sort of weird training exercise.

"Of course not, you're my favorite students." Was the cheerful, if tense reply.

"We're your only students!" Naruto yelled.

"Exactly!" He said.

"That doesn't even make-" Sakura's sentence cut off when the light faded and revealed three teens lying on the ground. One of them, a boy, opened sea-green eyes and stared straight at her.

"Pink hair…Aphrodite?" He mumbled before apparently passing out. The four ninjas stared at them, shocked.

"Well. That was odd." Kakashi remarked.
