"Hey sakura!" A female vocie called out. A pink hair girl turn around. "Oh, hey Ino." said Sakura smiling. Ino was wearing the bandages around her waist have been removed, revealing her bare stomach. She also replaces the warmers on her elbows with fishnet ones and wears a pair of the same over her knees. Along with these, she wears a short, purple, sleeveless blouse, an open-front purple apron-skirt over a shorter, black skirt, with short, fishnet shorts underneath. Ino smile too. "What are u doing with all those books?" She ask. "Doing research for Lady Tsunade." I sign. SHe giggle. "Hey do you think that Sai likes me?" She ask me. "Mmmmm I don't know. Why don't you ask him yourself" I said. She sign to herself. We started to walk and talk bout how are we doing and girls stuff. We giggle alot. "I'm goin to look for my team. Bye Sakura!" She said and ran off. I smile to myself. I'm glad were friends again. I sign. I started to think of Sasuke. A tear slid down my face. I miss u Sasuke why did u leave us. Naruto and I miss u. Please come back. I sign to my self. No need to cry Sakura we'll get him back soon or later. Then i started to walk off.
When i arrive at the libary. I walk in. The librain said h to me and stuff. I went to put the books away. I strech for a bit., Then something caught my eyes. I look there was Sai reading books. I wonder what he is reading. I went to him. He look at me and smile (a fake smile.) I smile back. "Hey Sai what are you doing?" I ask him. "Reading books" He said."About what?" I ask. "How to make friends" I giggle. Why is he reading that. "What is funny Sakura?" He ask me. "Sai you don't need to read a book about how to make new friends. Just like be yourself. Make a conversation going. And don't called girls ugly. Or anything." I said. He look down at the book he close it. He got up. He came near me, grab my hand, and polled me up. My eyes widden. He was huggin me. I hug him back. This feels great being hug. I close my eyes. "Thank you Sakura" He said. He let go of me. He was smiling. A real smile. "Your welcome Sai." I said. "You want to go for lunch or anything?" He ask. "Sure Sai." We left the libary. We started to talk. "There is a BBQ resturant. Want to go there?" He ask me. "Sure Sai" I said smiling. We walk in there was Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, and Asuma. Ino look at us. "Hey Sakura! Come seat with us." She said. We walk over there. I sat next to Shikamaru, and Sai sat next to me. I smile at Sai. He smile back.
"Why is Ino staring at me?" Sai ask me. I look at Ino she was starin at him. I giggle. I whisper in his ear. "She likes you." I said. "Ohh" He said. "Hey Shikamaru. How you been?" I ask him. He sign. "Life is such a drag." He said. I giggle. Of course that what would Shikamaru said. I sign. I got up. "Where you going?: Sai ask. "I'm going to see Lady Tsunade right quick." I said. Shikamaru stand up. "I need to speak to her right quick to. something very important." We left the resturant. We started to walk to the Hoakge tower. I look at Shikamaru. I just relaize how cute he was. He has fairly long jet black hair tied in a spiky ponytail, narrow brown eyes, and has both ears adorned by studs. He wears retains his flak jacket, along with a black long sleeved shirt paired with matching pants and sandals, and green lined mesh armour on his wrists and ankles. He is just adorable! He look at me. I turn away blushing. He was grinning. I look down. We arrive at the Hokage Tower. I knock on the door. I heard someone say come in. We walk in ith Shikamaru at my side. "Hello Lady Tsunade" I said. She smile. "Hey Sakura and Shikamaru. Watch you guys need?" She ask. "making sure you need any help" I said. "Well i have bad news." Shikamaru said. "Whats is it?" She ask. "There was an attack at the Grass Village. The akatsuki attack them. A messanger bird was sent to us asking for help. And alot of people are injuryed" He said. "Damn it. Ok Shikamaru gather up all the teams and go there. Sakura i want u to help with the injuryed." She said. "Hai" We both said. The we disappear in a puff of smoke. "We'll gather the team up and meet at the gate" He said. "Got it." I said. Then we left to go the team gather up. I saw Naruto, Sai, and Kakashi. I ran up to them. "We have a mission to go on. A very important one." I said. "What is going on?" Kakashi ask. "There was an attack at the Grass village. A couple of Akatsuki is apart of it." I said. "Well lets go get ready!" said Naruto. We left to go to our house to get ready to leave. I pack some extra clothes and some nice dresses clothes, some ninja tools, herbs that i got from my graden, and some medicine. I went out the door to go meet with the others!
I arrive at the Village gate. Everybody is here. "Ok people, Were going to the grass village and help out with the place. There would be a boat waiting for us. It might take us a few fays to get there." Said Yamoto. I look at Shikamaru and he look at me, we both smile at each other. "Ok people lets move out!" Said Guy.
