IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ! Hello all! I really haven't written anything in forever. And as you may have noticed…I deleted Time Windows. Don't ask why, but yeah. I saw this story and my style of writing has changed a whole lot since I first posted this and now that I read it, this isn't how I wanted it. I don't like it, so I'm rewriting it!

Lost

She groaned as she heard a loud beeping noise. "It's way too early for this," she muttered as she yawned. She quickly hit the snooze button on her annoying alarm. She sighed and looked at her window. It looked like a nice warm day. A good day to celebrate her birthday, not only that, but this marked her fourth year to be working for the Godaime, the fifth Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. She had been working so hard lately that she really had not thought much about this day, for this day, was the day that Tsunade promised to make her Head Nurse of the hospital…if and only if, she could pass her test. She pondered over the possibilities of what the crazy old bat had in store for her. There was no telling.

She got up and looked at herself in the mirror, "What a mess," she sighed. She was turning away and combing her fingers through her soft pink locks, when she heard a knock on her window. "Huh?" She made her way to the window and could see a large figure scrouching on her narrow window sill. She quickly opened it. "Hmmm? Naruto? What do you want? It's not even 6 yet!" she moved aside to let him inside, but he shook his head.

"Sakura! Granny said you better hurry! You're gonna be late! And yes, it is already 6! In fact," he said as he quickly looked at his watch, "it's 6:47."

"Ugh. Please kill me!" she whispered gruffly as she frantically searched through her clothes, "I'd rather be dead than have another lecture in front of everyone." She held up two outfits, "This one or this one? Hurry, pick!" Naruto shook his head and pointed to the choice on the right. "You want me to wait f-" She pushed him off her window sill before he could finish his sentence. She ripped her clothes off and quickly began to get ready.

She grabbed an apple and quickly headed out of her apartment complex. She looked at the large clock on the Hokage tower. "6:55. Good, I still have time," she thought as she threw the remnants of her apple away and sprinted towards the tower. She was oblivious to the eyes that were watching her from a distance.

She panted lightly as she entered the grand building. " Phew! I made it with a minute to spare! I swear," she thought.

Meanwhile:

"Tsunade, she's headed your way," said a blond haired ninja into a radio, "do you copy?"

"Shhhhh! Naruto, could you get any louder? And yes, I copy. Dumb ass!" replied Tsunade.

"Geez, baa-chan, you don't have to call me ugly names you know, that hurts my feelings."

"Please! Just concentrate on your mission! I knew I should have hired someone else!"

With Sakura:

As she entered the building, she passed the receptionist's desk. In Sakura's opinion, she was the ugliest woman in the universe. Not only physically but also personality wise. Sakura was not one to judge, but this girl was evil and just plain ridiculous. She had dry, frizzy hair. In addition, she had the world's biggest, hairiest mole right by her lips. People shuddered when they first saw her. She made little kids cry. The receptionist had never really liked her. She always did something to make Sakura mad. The receptionist looked up quickly with enthusiasm and saw her, but then she frowned.

"Oh, it's just you," She said disgustedly.

"What, were you expecting someone?" Sakura asked.

"Actually, I was thank you very much," she said.

"Well, Minikui, are you sure you weren't daydreaming? I mean, as you usually do staring at the wall with your mouth open. In fact, I think you have some slobber there on your chin," she calmly said.

Minikui gaped at her, and sputtered incoherently. "Look you little bitch; you don't talk to me like that! The Kazekage is coming and I am going to seduce him. And he is going to fall head over heels for me, because I am b-e-a-utiful," she said with a sigh.

"Seriously? Your mother gave you that name for a reason. If I am not mistaken, I means ugly, yes? But you keep telling yourself that… the only way someone might fall for you, and I mean the chances are like slim to none, is if they're old, and dying, or blind," Sakura snickered.

Before Minikui could say anything, she ran down the hall and went inside Tsunade's office laughing, and as soon as she opened the door…

"SURPISE!" yelled a large group of ninjas, "happy 18th birthday Sakura-chan!"

She jumped in surprise, but then laughed. She should have known! The room was lavishly decorated with streamers and confetti. There was a large cake and a pile of presents. She genially and thanked all her friends. Tsunade motioned her over and mouthed 'we need to talk,' then the she jerked her head towards the door and mouthed 'in private.'

"Oh boy," she thought, "what now..?" She gently pushed through the rather large group of people and went back to the entrance of the Kage's office. Tsunade shut the door and sighed, "Now, I wanted to discuss with you a few things. First we need to discuss your test for your position as the new head nurse. Everyone wants you to have that position! It shouldn't be that hard."

"Tsunade-sama I know that, but what is my test? When will I take it? And why did you let everyone get me presents? All this is unnecessary!"

"Sakura, they wanted to! Don't you see that they love you and they're very thankful. You've saved their lives more than once with your healing. Oh and about your test-" she was mid sentence when she heard loud footsteps headed in their direction. It was a young gennin, he skidded to a halt panting, "H-hokage-sama! They caught him! The Kazekage-sama captured S-sasuke Uchiha!"
