In this everyone is 17&18. Not all the characters are in this. This story takes place a year after Sasuke's return. (I don't know when he actually came back if he ever did)
Sakura walked down the quite streets of Konoha. It was nearly midnight and she had just finished her shift at the hospital and was on her way home. She sighed as she thought about yesterday's events.
Flashback
Sakura was coming back from Tsunade's office and was heading home for a few hours of sleep before her shift started. She paused in step as she saw a laughing Naruto and a stotic Sasuke walking towards her.
She had tried to talk to Sasuke when he had first come back but he acted the same as his 12 year old self and pushed her away mumbling 'annoying'. Since then she has been ignoring him.
Naruto and Sasuke stopped infront of Sakura and Naruto spoke.
"Hey Sakura, Teme and I had a mission with Sai and we had just finished it and was on our way home when all of a sudden Sai tripped and fell flat on his face. It was hilarious!" Naruto said laughing.
Sakura smiled slightly and was about to respond when Naruto realized what time it was.
"Crap, I'm gonna be late for my date with Hinata!" He sprinted off towards the Hyuuga residence.
Sakura stared at Naruto's retreating form then she turned back to the Uchiha prodigy surprised that he was still standing there and staring at her.
She took one last glance at him before walking away back to her house. She heard footsteps behind her and realized Sasuke was following her. She stopped and faced him.
"Can I help you with something?" She asked slightly annoyed.
"I- um- hn- I wanted to say that I- ," he took a minute swallow his pride, "I'm sorry."
"I still didn't want to come back here when I did. I wasn't ready to patch up things with everyone. I wasn't ready to admit how I felt about you. I love you Sakura, and I'm sorry I hurt you." He said with a strong and serious tone.
She just stared at him, her expression unwavering. Then without warning she slammed her fist into his face and sent him flying into a tree.
She then shouted, "You waited a freaking year after you get back to tell me that!?"
She then added, "Better yet, you waited 5 years!"
She walked over to him and picked him up off the ground while he continued to rub his jaw. She smiled and kissed him on the cheek before running off home and yelled back, "Bye Sasuke! See you tomorrow! Oh, and I forgive you!"
Sasuke smiled to himself and walked towards his own home thinking, 'Hn, she hasn't changed that much. I'm glad.'
End flashback
Sakura reached her home and unlocked her door as she sighed again.
'Maybe I shouldn't have hit him so hard.' She let out a small chuckle and saw her new boyfriend sleeping peacefully on her couch and she smiled to herself. He still had a bruise on his jaw.
