Gaara and Sakura walk out of the movie theatre. It was a cold winter day and Gaara and Sakura were on a date. Gaara had somehow managed to live through the chick flick which all of the other guys were dragged to by their girlfriends and tortured to sit through. It celebrated their 6 month anniversary since they first met. Sakumo had been let out of the hospital a few months before and was respected by nearly everyone in the school. There were a few exceptions but they were all enemies of the old Sakumo. Sakura and Sakumo were adopted by Itachi, which was amazing since it was not like him to be this kind to anyone. Zabuza was in jail and wouldn't be out for QUITE some time.
Sakumo was now considered one of the 'group' which consisted of Gaara, Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Neji. Sakumo had gone through therapy and was able to repress his split personality much better. Gaara, Sasuke, and Sakumo were probably the closest out of the entire group. They had become some of the most popular kids in school. There were even some older girls starting to think Sakumo was kinda cute.
Gaara and Sakura walk out of the movie theatre and wait in the lobby for Itachi to come out of the bathroom so they can get a ride home and maybe do a little something that can really work up a sweat. When Sakumo found out that he and Sakura were having sex, he got quite pissed but managed to shake it off and just ended up giving them a smile before leaving them to finish. Sakumo had officially 'retired' from fighting and has never fought since the incident at the park. If he ever got made fun of, he would just apologize over and over until the yeller started to look bad and would eventually get in trouble. This didn't mean that Sakumo was a wimp. He stood up for what he believed in he just stood up in a different way.
Gaara and Sakura enter the car and Itachi drives them home. Things were starting to look up for even Gaara's family. His siblings were in rehab for their multiple addictions. They heard about what Gaara did for Sakumo and said that they felt like scum for treating Gaara like the way they did. Gaara was staying with Sakura until they returned, which Gaara didn't mind at all. He got a lot of 'attention' when he needed it. When Itachi brought them home, the phone rang. It was Naruto and he was asking if they wanted to go to the local restaurant for lunch. Gaara said sure. Gaara and Sakura get their coats and decide to go find the other kids and go out to eat.
"Where's Sasuke? Shouldn't he be here?" asks Sakura.
"He's probably at Ten-Ten's, don't worry, I left a message." They leave the house and eventually meet everyone at the local restaurant. It was the usual hangout place. Sakumo and Kiba were already there, having burgers. They all sit down and order. After about 20 minutes, one of the old enemies of Sakumo walk in and see him and form a B-line for him. Sakumo lets out a sigh and gets up.
"Look, I'm not gonna fight you."
"Come on, pussy. What happened to the old 'badass' that could wup anyone's ass."
"He's dead"
"Well, then I guess I'll revive him." The kid goes for a punch which Sakumo dodges only to feel another punch collide into his gut. Sakumo leans back against the table and Naruto, Sasuke, and Kiba stand up in defiance, "Stay out of this, brats." The kid grabs Sakumo by the collar and hurls him to the ground. Sakumo clutches his stomach and slowly gets to his feet but does nothing, only stands and stares into the kid's eyes. The kid walks forward and tries to punch Sakumo in the face but Sakumo dodges and shoves him forward. The kid falls to the ground and growls in anger. The kid charges forward and slams his shoulder into Sakumo's chest. Sakumo wheezes and collapses to the ground from the impact. Naruto gets up and kicks the kid in the knee. The kid falls to his good knee and Naruto puts him into a sleeper hold. The kid hurls Naruto over his back and Naruto lands right on Sakumo. Sakumo lets out a groan in pain and feels the kid kick him in the stomach. Sakura gets up and yells for the kid to stop. The kid backhands Sakura only to suddenly feel a punch slam into his stomach. He turns around to see Sakumo and Gaara. Gaara threw the punch and was pissed, Sakumo didn't look too happy either. Gaara grabs the kid and drags him outside and hurls him to the pavement. The kid quickly gets up and kicks Gaara in the stomach and starts clubbing Gaara in the back. Sasuke runs out and tackles the kid. The kid's head slams against the pavement and they all run away, but not before paying.
When everyone was running, Naruto saw that Sakumo was falling behind and then suddenly Sakumo falls to the ground, wheezing for breath. Those hits he took from the kid had to of taken their toll on him since he could normally beat them in races.
When everyone got to Sasuke's house, they all sat in the living room. Naruto looks at Sakumo.
"Come on man, you've been taking this shit ever since you got outta the hospital. Why don't you do anything about it?"
"That'll only make it worse. I can't fight anymore. I just can't do it anymore."
"Well, Sakumo. Hopefully they eventually give up."
"I doubt they will, you made just too many enemies Sakumo when you were the old you."
"I just can't keep this up, guys. It might have been better if I died in that fucking hospital."
"Come on, don't say that. You mean a lot to us. You're like that train story or something about a train that could…or…whatever. You're a good guy and we like you." Sakumo lets out a deep cough and thanks Naruto for the compliment.
