"Sasuke-Kuuunn!!" Sakura yelled cheerfully from across the bridge, as she made her way to her beloved. Sasuke's eye twitched, as he sent a glare her way, But unfortunately to his disdain she didn't get the hint. "Do you want to—" " No." Sasuke interrupted her before she get any farther "I have better things to do "he said in a icy tone.

"B-But Sasuke-Kun" her voice wavered as her emerald eyes glistened with tears. Naruto suddenly jumped from a tree, interrupting her pleadings, with a foxy grin on his face.

"Oi Bastard! Sorry I'm—"Naruto stopped mid-sentence his trademark smile turning into a frown as he's eyes settled on Sakura's face. "What's wrong Sakura-Chan?" Naruto said with concern in his voice. Sakura looked up at him, anger flashing in her eyes. Sasuke smirked as he saw what was coming for the blond /Dobe/ he thought to himself smugly as he saw Naruto was clueless as always.

Sakura suddenly brought up her fist connecting it on top Naruto's head and judging by the way Naruto fell pretty hard.

"Owwww! Sakura-Chan what was that for?" Naruto whined, rubbing where a bump was already visible. Sakura turned back to Sasuke with a smile, "Well maybe next time Sasuke-Kun." she said in a syrupy voice, forgetting why she was upset in the first place. Sakura strutted away sending a glare to the groaning Naruto before taking the path back to Konoha.

"Come on dobe lets go spar…"

Naruto came out of his reminiscing, a wary smile on his face making him look older then he was, "If only things didn't change" Naruto muttered to himself a look of longing and disappointment in his eyes as he watched the stars.
