Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, Itachi would be mine, ALL MINE! But, sadly, I don't.

Chapter 1: Freedom

It was four in the afternoon, one sunny, April day, when a pink haired woman with startling green eyes practically skipped for joy out of the large, ugly building behind her, and bright grin planted on her face. It was over! Done! She'd never have to look at the faces of her odious class mate Naruto, or the cold and handsome Sasuke again! Sure, she'd had a crush on him at first (didn't everybody?), but after she'd turned 18, it had faded away.

She span around, her arms out, when a loud, annoying voice rang out.

"Sakura!"

'Speak of the devil', she thought as she turned to face a certain blond haired, blue eyed young man walking towards her. "What, Naruto?" She snapped, annoyed that he had disturbed her thoughts (again).

"I wanted to ask if you wanted to go get some ramen as a celebration of our... uh..."

She rolled her eyes. "Graduation?"

He smiled. "Yeah! Graduation! Please?"

She sighed. "Look, Naruto, we're never gonna see each other again. This is goodbye." She turned and almost ran away, not wanting to see his expression, when she hit the back of a blond haired woman in front of her. "Oh, I'm so sorry-" She glanced up, and smiled. "Ino-pig!"

"Hey, forehead!" They hugged tightly. "We heard about your graduation, so we came to celebrate with you!" Ino gestured behind her to reveal all of her friends, Tenten, Hinata, Neji, Kiba, Chouji, Lee, the whole gang. Sakura grinned.

"Sounds great!" She turned to look around at them all, and noticed Naruto standing in the group, grinning once again. She groaned, but still followed them as they headed for what she knew would become a long night of drinking. One more night with Naruto and Sasuke wouldn't hurt, would it?
