Hey everybody, Grape here! :3 This is my first fan fic so please take it easy on me. :')

Before you think/ask why my name is Grape.. it's because that's what my name means :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto (I would if I could, so I can make Sakura not a girly crying baka :)

Haruno Sakura, the strongest medic ANBU walked down the streets of Konoha. Of course everybody admires her... She saves hundreds of her civilians from injuries/illnesses and protects her loved ones. She's not that weak, annoying, little fan girl of Sasuke-kun any more. She's changed a lot, and so did her heart.

She walked calmly, relying her legs for direction, thinking about the mission plan that is ahead of her in a month. Moreover, not only her attitude has changed, but her appearance. She wore red shorts and her black skirt on top with mini red chain anged on top of the skirt till the side. Her t-shirt black and the bottom corner of her shirt has her Haruno clan symbol, symbolising her respect towards her clan. A black tank top of the t-shirt. Two dark gloves and bandages covering till her wrist till her elbow on both arms, as for her legs to black boots that reaches just underneath her knee cap and bandages covering her knee caps till her thigh for her right leg. A mini pouch covering across her hip for her kunai knives and equipments. A long thin bag behind her that carries her sword, the strap crossing her chest. Her head band as usual on her pink shiny hair however her head band had a large noticeable scratch on top of the Konoha sign . To her it's all red and black.

She has been dazing off while walking she hadn't noticed that she reached Ichimaru Ramen. She stood there in boredomm waiting for Naruto to come. It's not like she wanted to come anyway.

*Flashback*

Naruto burst in through Sakuras window and noticed her sitting down with lots of scrolls. Sakura turned and look at Naruto with a troublesome expression, she knew what's coming next, a loud idiot going to give her a headache, but she got used to it she has been with naruto more than 8 years now but it was still annoying... very, annoying.

''HEY SAKURA-CHAN! LETS GO ICHIMARU TOGETHER HAVE SOME R-R-RAMEN!'' Naruto shouted in joy. Sakura stood in anger and hit Naruto in the head

''OWW! Sakura-chan what was that for?'' Naruto cried in a puppy voice.

''Why do you think? Your blowing my ear hole!'' Sakura shouted.

Naruto got scared, no one ever wants to mess with Sakura when she's angry... Its not pretty at all. ''Please Sakura-chan lets go Ichimaru, I'll stop being annoying! Please!'' Naruto pleaded adorably.

Sakura gave in with a sweat drop ''*sigh* fine...'' She knew Naruto won't stop being annoying and this was the only way to make him be go away.

''YES! Sakura-chan your the best!'' Naruto complimented and jumped away in joy.

*Flashback ends*

Naruto's puppy thing is the only thing Sakura gives in on, and THAT is something she will never confess. Sakura glanced at her watch just noticing some of the scars and cuts that shows which was meant to be hidden under the bandages, the bandages started becoming loose and untangled. She stared at the scars which reminded her the horrible memories of her and that witch, which is meant to be her mother. After her father died because of Sakura in a car accident covering her dad's eyes for fun (she was young) everything around the house became unsettled really quickly. That was her ''mother'' first and only love and Sakura took it away from her. Her mother abused her everyday and night. Lucky a undercover ninja sent by the 3rd Hokage (it was when Tsunade wasn't hokage yet :P) they executed her Mother and the story wasn't heard of again. Obviously not even her friends knew about this. 3rd Hokage, Tsunade-sama and Kakashi knew about it. Kakashi looked after Sakura like a father made sure she was okay. That's what she loved about him.

''Sakura-chan, Sakura-chan?'' Sakura started hearing muffled sounds from Naruto.

''Sakura you buffoon! Stop with the flash backs and get moving! Inner Sakura shouted.

She realised she was day dreaming and came back to the real world.

''Sakura-chan, are you okay?'' Naruto questioned worriedly waving his hand in front of her titled head and clicking his fingers near her nose.

''huh? Oh Naruto! Your here, finally!'' She smiled with a fake smile.

''Yeh, like a few minutes ago... Hey, are you okay Sakura-chan?'' Naruto asked worryingly.

''I'm fine! She waved her hand in front of her.''I'm Okay no need to worry!'' She lied smoothly with a large smile while hiding her arm behind her to wrap the scars up.

''Oh okay! Lets eat then!'' Naruto laughed

Naruto knew her well, he now finally realised when she faked smiled and smiled heartily. There was more of fake than heartily. Just like this one.

'Sakura, when are you going to be honest to me?' Naruto thought.

Just past Naruto's 10 dish of ramen, Sakura still on her first. She sweat dropped. Suddenly, a cloud poped behind them. It was one of Tsunade-Sama ninjas.

''Sakura-san and Naruto-san? He asked seriously

Sakura and Naruto looked at him and nodded their head

''Tsunade-Sama is calling you both to her office now, its important'' He exclaimed and poofed away.

Sakura and Naruto looked at each other silently, Sakura stood up and left with Naruto following behind.

Outside Tsuande-Sama office

Sakura took a deep breath and knocked, Naruto stood in silence.

''Come in!'' Tsunade shouted

Sakura opened the door and saw Tsunade at her desk with at least 5 sake bottles empty.

'Not again...Gosh Lady-Tsuande when are you gonna learn?' Sakura thought while sighing with her eyes closed.

''You called us?'' Naruto asked ignoring all the sake bottles in front of her for once.

''Yes, this is really important. I'm not sure how you will take this piece of info but I'm going to lay it on you both. However, I don't want this affecting your mission with Kiba, Sakura.'' Tsunade pointed out seriously.

Sakura stared right to her amber shining eyes. Naruto looked at Sakura for a few second then at Tsunade. He clenched his fist hard with pressure. Tsunade saw Naruto's fist.

'Maybe this isn't a good idea, too late to back away now though' She sighed.

''Uchiha Sasuke has returned, he is in hospital being treated for serious injuries at room 170 and I want both of you to go visit him.'' She pointed in one breath.

Naruto and Sakura eyes had widen, staring at Tsunade without blinking.

Silence fell upon the room, no one spoke for a few minute, letting Sakura and Naruto digest the information. Suddenly and obviously Naruto shouted joyfully,

''THAT TEME, HIS BACK!'' He smiled shockingly slamming his hands on the desk. However It took Sakura a while to compete with the information.

'That bastard who made me suffer horrible heart ache in the past? That freak who I confessed my foolish love and rejected me coldly day after day? The one who I'd look for comfort from suffering from my mother? The one that made me weak foolish little girl? No, his not getting in my way from anything now or later, his my history and always will be. That teme made me feel like he shot a bullet in my heart everyday' Sakura cursed in her mind, clenching her fist hard almost close enough to see the veins.

''That teme..'' Sakura cursed under her breath without showing any emotions what so ever. Her jade eyes dull as ever.

Naruto and Tsunade noticed Sakura's reaction, they both stared at Sakura. The room was dead silence.

'This doesn't look good' Naruto and Tsunade thought in a unison.

DUM DUM DUM! XD what do you guys think? It's my first fan fic so obviously I think its not that good .''
