Sasuke had returned. He'd appologised to the village, to Naruto and they in turn had fogiven him.
Sakura didn't speak to him. When they met on the street she just nodded towards him before walking away. Naruto and Kakashi noticed this and frowned.
Team seven met up at the bridge. Sasuke and Naruto were there early and sparred, they were pretty evenly matched nowdays and their spars were more educational then life and death.
Kakashi appeared three hours late "Sorry, I got lost when an old woman...Wheres Sakura?" he said spinning round making sure she wasnt about to hit him from behind. She wasn't there.
"No idea Kakashi-sensei" Naruto replied forgoing his 'You're late' speech
Suddenly there was a poof of smoke and Sakura appeared her hands in the seals needed for the transport jutsu "Sorry I'm late, I was training" she said calmly brushing off her skirt.
The men stared at her, "What?" she asked re-tying her hair
"Y, you are all bruised Sakura-chan" Naruto finally said
Sakura touched her eye that was bruised and winced "Oh yeh, Tsunade-sensei got a good one on me, I decided not to heal till after this, i might need the Chakra" she said with a shrug
"O...kay" Kakashi said worriedly. Sakura had been training with Tsunade first? this should be interesting. "Sakura, spar Naruto"
"Hai" she replied getting into stance, Naruto frowned "Are you sure Sakura-chan..." whatever else he wanted to say was cut off as she attacked him.
The fight lasted almost an hour when finally Sakura managed to get Naruto's leg as he came to kick her, swinging him around she brought him into the ground, hard. There was a small crater.
"Ohhhhhhh" Naruto groaned.
"Kama-sama! Sorry Naruto-kun!" she yelped immediatly checking him over and healing him.
Sasuke frowned from where he had been stood silent, Naruto-kun? since when?
"Sakura, Naruto you guys okay?"
Sakura nodded, not even sweating "I need a drink thought"
"Here" Kakashi threw her a bottle
She drank thirstily and then returned it "I think Naruto needs to rest" She said prodding her unconscious team-mate.
Kakashi checked him over "Hai, you healed him well"
"Well she is one of the top three medical-nin's in the village" Tsunade's voice came from where she was sat on the bridge "Are you going to spar now Sasuke? Sakura?"
Sakura nodded and glanced in Sasuke's direction "If you want to Uchicha-san" she said raising her eyebrow
Tsunade and Kakashi exchanged a look and Kakashi moved Naruto out of the way.
Sakura bowed and Sasuke said nothing his mind reeling, UCHICHA-SAN!? WHAT THE HELL? He sighed perhaps i hurt her more than i realised he looked at the woman who now stared at him with emotionless eyes.
"Begin" Kakashi said.
Sakura stamped on the ground causing it to crack. Sasuke almost fell into it but when he looked Sakura had gone. At that moment he realised Sakura was fighting him seriously, for the first time he wasnt sure who would win.
"CHINDORI NO JUTSU!" he screamed panting heavily the fight had lasted for two hours, he had a cracked rib whereas Sakura hardly seemed scratched, he ran towards Sakura intending to finish this. Kakashi would have interrupted worried for his female student but Tsunade's hand on his arm stopped him. "Watch" she said
Sakura rapidly formed hand seals "Rainbow shield no jutsu!" she shouted flinging out her hands.
Kakashi looked on in wonder as a bubble of Chakra surrounded the pink haired girl. It shimmered in the sunlight, just like a real bubble. Sasuke ran straight into it "YELLOW!" Sakura screamed
Sasuke yelled in shock, he was trapped, his jutsu disspelled. "Orange" Sakura said and the bubble turned inside out enveloping Sasuke, she calmly walked towards Kakashi and Tsunade, Sasuke bobbing along side her.
"Let me out!" he yelled
Sakura looked towards Kakashi who shrugged "You win Sakura" She released the bubble and Sasuke fell to the ground with an 'oof'
"What was that Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked from his propped up position
"You're awake Naruto!" she said running over to him
kakashi turned to Tsunade "What was that Tsunade-sama?" he asked as she stood over Sasuke healing him.
"Well, lets go to the raaman stall and I'll tell you about it" she grinned
Sharagan eyes observed them
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they were all settled at the stall, Sakura and Sasuke sitting as far away from each other as they could, Naruto on his 16th bowl of raaman, Tsunade explained."Well I was reading up on Sakura's family tree and it turns out her great grandmother was a Ninja...in fact i distantly remember her...but it seems that she had a unique bloodline skill..."
Sasukes ears literally pricked up as he pretended to concentrait on his food. Sakura carried on oblivious to all things around her.
"It seems to have skipped a few generations, but Sakura has a special jutsu called rainbow shield. It allows the user to either shield themselves or others, to capture others or to cause them great pain, it can combine as a physical attack and a kind of genjutsu... Its pretty impressive"
Sakura laughed "Thats where i've been all week, trying to perfect it"
"Hai" Tsunade said seriously "But remember, you are forbidden to use red or black Sakura..."
"Hai Sensei...sorry about that"
"Why what do they do?" Sasuke asked interested
"None of your buissness" Sakura said
Tsunade nodded respecting the young womans want to keep her new technique secret.
"Hn" Sasuke said mentally kicking himself i should have gone out with her...that bloodline limit is truly amazing
The meal progressed, Kakashi and Tsunade doing most of the talking. Naruto was too busy eating to talk whereas Sakura and Sasuke had nothing to say.
Sakura saw the clock on the wall reading 8pm and stood. "Thank you for the meal, see you tomorrow for training Tsunade-Sensei?"
The woman groaned "Give me a day off Sakura! go blow up trees or something!"
Sakura laughed and began to leave. "Sakura..." Kakashi's voice stopped her
"Hai?"
"We are practising tomorrow, please join us" his one eye turned upwards "Im very proud of you today" he said with feeling
Sakura felt tears prickle at the corner of her eyes "Thank you Kakashi-sensei..."
"Oi, Sasuke walk Sakura home" came the reply
Sakura sweatdropped whilst Sasuke gaped at his sensei
"I think she can take care of herself" he replied gruffly.
Suddenly Kakashi had him in a headlock "Did you learn nothing about how to treat a lady?" he nouged him roughly "NOW WALK SAKURA HOME"
Sasuke stumbled after the pink haired woman rubbing his abused skull.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"SAKURA!" he yelled trying to catch upto her, she ignored him and kept on walking. He put on a burst of speed and reached her jsut as she was about to open her garden gate, he placed his hand on it stopping her.
"What" she asked looking at him panting slightly
"Why..." he asked trailing off
Sakura wasnt standing for vague questions "Well if thats all you have to say" she replied pushing her gate
Sasuke slammed it shut "Why are you treating me like this?"
"Like what?" she asked emotionlessly
"Like..." he paused, he had been about to say 'like I treated you' but stopped
Sakura stepped upto him "Like WHAT Sasuke, Like you treated me? How does it feel?" she asked eyes hard
"I.." he swallowed "Sakura..."
"Spit it out" she snarled her patience running out
"I'm sorry Sakura, please allow me to take you to dinner to appologise and give me another chance" he ground his teeth even if i didnt like her...her bloodline limit will be useful in my new clan...
Sakura looked at him "ok" she said then entered her house
Sasuke blinked then left. Inside her house Sakura was leaning against her room door, suddenly she let out an excited squeal "YES!!"
