"SAKURA-CHAN!!!!!!!!!" Naruto called running down the street like some sort of maniac.

"What?" The said girl replied tired from an eight hour shift at the hospital.

"WE HAVE A MISSION!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed jumping up and down.

"I'm right next to you, you don't have to scream." Sakura said starting to walk to her house.

"Don't you wanna hear about the mission?"

"knock yourself out"

"where gonna get Sasuke Back!"

Sakura inwardly sighed. He was never going to give up. If Sasuke had wanted to come back, he would have, but he didn't. Sasuke had already killed Itachi and Orochimaru. He didn't seem to really like this place either. She felt these missions were a waste of time. She could be doing something productive, like working in the hospital, or training. But no. Naruto had to get his best friend back.

"Sakura-chan?"

"yes Naruto??"

"Want to go to Ichiraku's?" (or however you spell it)

"sure, my treat.'

"YEAH!!!!!"

Sakura giggled and turned left down the street to Naruto's favorite place on earth. She ordered a miso ramen and Naruto ordered everything else. She sometimes wondered what all that salt did to his blood pressure, it didn't seem to effect him. Well a lot of things don't seem to apply to Naruto. Like thinking for example. But hey, Naruto was Naruto.

"When are we leaving?" Sakura asked picking at her ramen.

"I'm not done with my ramen…" Naruto began.

"I meant for the mission." she replied rolling her eyes and smiling.

"Tomorrow at noon."

"That doesn't give me much time to pack."

"We aren't going to be gone long."

"Really? Don't these retrieval missions usually last a week or two?"

"Well this time he told us where to meet him."

Sakura spat out her ramen.

"He told you where?"

"Yeah and he did It willingly!"

"You sure it was him?" Sakura asked not believing it.

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"Forgive me if I'm skeptical"

"Hey! You mat not believe it but he really does want to come home." Naruto replied serious for once in his life.

"Goodbye Naruto, I'll se you tomorrow." Sakura said standing up and leaving.

This happened every time. Naruto would get all hopeful about bringing him home only to be disappointed again and again and again. She gave up Over two years ago. She had gotten over him too. She started dating, but she could never have a relationship with any of the other rookie nine ninjas, and civilians didn't understand the ninja lifestyle. She even tried going out with Naruto. That had been one of the most awkward days of her life. Sakura's circle of friends grew too. With no Sasuke to fight over She and Ino became quick best friends. She found out that she had a lot in common with Tenten, and wanted to be more independent like her. Then she hooked Naruto and Hinata up, and then they started hanging out.

Her life was perfectly fine without Sasuke. And she wanted it to stay that way.
