Unexpected

Sakura, a beautiful girl, was sitting in an equally beautiful room in the exquisite house her husband had bought for her and her children. Not really, but that was what she hoped for. She was writing a message to Tsunade, currently the Hokage of Konoha, in a dusty and barely lighted room, inside the house of a simple fisherman and his wife, while she took care of their siblings.

Not what you would expect one of the most powerful ninjas in Konoha doing, but there had been an epidemic and since Tsunade couldn't go, Sakura was sent instead. She didn't dislike being next to the ocean, but it wasn't as hot as she could hope for.

She had already treated around twenty people, and the disease seemed to be under control. But for an unknown cause, Tsunade had told her to wait while she sorted a few things up. Sakura was angry, to say the least.

She missed Naruto and Ino… they were her best friends. Putting that aside, she just loved to fight with them. Naruto was usually saying things that normal people (as Sakura had put it) shouldn't be saying… in other words, he never knew when to be quiet.

Nowadays, most of Naruto's quarrels seemed to be with that damned Hyuuga Neji. If being often outspoken by the Hyuuga wasn't enough, he just had to fall for her shy cousin. Well… seeing in a different light it wasn't that bad, seeing that she was head over hells for him since the academy, but Neji just had to be overprotective. He wouldn't let him approach Hinata in any way if he wasn't there. And for all that Neji cared, Naruto would be better yelling with that annoying voice of his in the middle of a desert. Or at least that's what he had told her the last time that they went out to dinner.

Dinner… just by remembering it Sakura got hungry. She loved the places that Neji took them (Sakura had to go to Naruto's dates with Hinata because if she didn't go as a mediator Naruto would probably be headless by now) and she actually liked the company. Granted, they were too loud and Naruto seemed to love to draw attention to the fact that he was currently dating one of the cutest, or the cutest as he often referred to her, ninja of all times. If Sakura hadn't been there, Neji would have probably killed Naruto if he hadn't been afraid of the kunouchi's wrath…

Sakura was still deep in thought when Kuro, one of the children she was looking after, told her that they had received a letter for her. When she opened it she could clearly make out Shizune's handwriting. It read as follows:

Sakura:

I am sorry that you had to stay in that town longer than you needed. "Yeah right", Sakura thought, "She jus loves when I'm out of town , because there is no one to tell her that she should not be drinking sake in broad daylight" I know you might be worried that I may not be able to hold my drink, but thanks to you and that obnoxious boy, Shizune has confiscated almost every bottle of sake that might reach Konoha. Sakura sighed… "She is just angry because she is having a harder time getting her hand with those damned bottles, but at least I know that she has a secret stash in her office and at least five new boxes of sake in her house… without counting the numerous ones that she could coax people into giving her. But putting aside minor problems, you have a new mission. There have been some rumors that some sound-nins have been spotted not to far away from were you are currently in station. I am sending a capable team to your side, and you are to join them and help them in any way that they might need. The Team Captain will give you a more detailed description on the mission.

Out of record, you should take this mission as an opportunity to spend some quality time with Konoha's males… specially the one that we have been discussing about. I should have seen this coming… Why does she seem to worry so much about my love life? Even Ino doesn't worry that much… troublesome woman… hehe, I just love the fact that she and Shika are dating… Oh! On with the letter. You should take advantage of the opportunities that destiny has set for you! And, Neji is one of the… Sakura didn't bother to finish reading the letter, she had a shrewd idea of how it was going to end "Sakura get over that Uchiha boy" or "You are my beautiful apprentice! Get a boyfriend!" What did being her apprentice and having a boyfriend have to do with each other? She just couldn't understand her apprentice. And she had told her numerous times that what she and Neji shared was friendship, nothing more. But she couldn't help the tint of red that came to her cheeks every time she thought about him in that way.

"Get over it! Everybody knows that you like him and it is more than obvious that he is into you! I mean, who wouldn't be? With that body of yours!" Inner Sakura said

"You! I thought you had disappeared when I stopped hearing your obnoxious voice! And why do you refer to me as if I were a different person? I'm you." Sakura answered.

"Because I thought it might be easier for you. But it is obvious you'd be hot, because if you are me, or if I am you…"

Inner Sakura continued her line of thoughts, but Sakura was able to block her when she heard a familiar voice yell from outside.

"Sakura-chan! We are here!"
