Hey Everyone, wasuup?!

I'm excited to introduce to you, my very first Naruto Shippuden fanfic story! I've been wanting to write one of these for a while now that I've started watching the Shippuden series. ^_^

This story's main couple is Sasori (The red-haired cutie from the Akatsuki) x Sakura Haruno.

(When I first saw the 'real' Sasori I was pretty surprised cause the puppet he was always hiding in wasn't too easy on the eyes. When he forced out of it and finally revealed his real face, I wasn't expecting him to be so..so cute! My face was like- :O "He's beautiful!"

(Just to say before you read, I retyped this whole chapter to modify it into this type of writing style cause I like it better this way. xD)

Anyways,enjoy! :)

It's been almost 3 months since things started to calm down in the village of Kohana, everyone's lives seemed to be peaceful and free around the village these days. It's been 2 months since Sasuke had returned and left (randomly), and 1 month since Nartuo and Hinata started dating. (finally).

'This is nice...everything and everyone is finally happy.' Sakura thought as she sat cross-legged on the soft grass of the large training ground. She had just finished training and practicing her new moves she learned from Tsunade and was now meditating peacefully...well until now that is. Someone out from the behind the large trees started calling her name loudly over and over. "Hey Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan, can you hear me?" Without opening her eyes, her brows furrowed in annoyance to the familiar voice which belonged to none other than her goofy best friend, Naruto. The voice sounded as if it had come closer since it last rang; he was now standing in front of her. "Sakura-chan." Her eyes finally opened and looked up at him. "Yes Naruto what is it?" The spiky-haired boy smiled and continued. "Me and Hinata are going to have lunch at the usual Ramen shop, wanna come with us? It'll be fun." She stood up and brushed her skirt off. "Hmm..."

(Inner Sakura)

'Haha! Cha right Naruto, I definitely won't be the third wheel today like yesterday'

She shook her head and slightly smiled. "No thanks, I already ate lunch." She watched as his smiled turned into a frown at her answer. "Aw man, well okay then next time?" She nodded and watched him wave goodbye as he left her. "He seem so happy these days."

(Inner Sakura)

You would be too if you were the one running back to your loved one...too bad you don't have one. But if Sasuke were here...

She frowned and shook the thoughts from her mind. "I don't want to think about him, he's not willing to be in any sort of romantic relationship with anyone." No matter how many times she tried thinking of something else, thoughts of the lovely Uchiha boy kept finding it's way back into her confused mind. After contemplating what to do next, she headed off towards town. As she walked down the streets of her cozy hometown, she viewed the smiling faces of the villagers and merchants whom worked happily running their businesses and tending to their chores. Before she could walk any farther, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her into one of the shops. "Hey billboard brow, how's it going?" Sakura slightly laughed as she took her arm back from the blonde girl's grasp. "Just fine, until you grabbed me." Ino sighed in a dreamy manner. "Well guess what...Shikamaru stopped by and brought me lunch again. This is like the second time!" She could see the excitement in her friends eyes as she talked about Shikamaru. "Ooo, Ino's got a boyfriend." Just from this little remark, Ino's whole face turned a bright red. "Be quiet...anyways he said he would visit me tomorrow too! I'm soo excited." Sakura smiled at how joyous her friend was being and laughed. "Be sure to tell me how it goes, piglet." Ino smiled and continued on. "You know...you've been awful quiet these days, how bout I help you find a man? You can trust me, I've even helped Choji before." She stood up tall with confidence beaming from her like sun rays as she awaited Sakura's answer. "Ha ha ha ha! Thanks but no. I don't need your help in finding a date. Besides, Choji is still single." With her pride being hurt, she yelled in annoyance. "Listen here pinky, Choji is single because the problem was him it was the girl's fault! My dating advice is out of this world. Sakura, I've got your back, I'll pick the most suitable bachelors in all of Kohana for you. I mean look at me and Shikamaru, we're on our way to the top!" As Ino kept talking, Sakura's thoughts began to wander.

Even though she was happy for her friend, she was beginning to get a bit jealous of her. Having someone to fan girl over was something she wanted to do too, but being in her situation of having her heart stuck on Sasuke, it seemed impossible. It was like she was very picky on whom she would choose to date, Sasuke of course of her ideal man but he wasn't looking her way. Before her emotions became obvious she decided it was time to leave or forever be doomed to the never ending teasing remarks from Ino. "I think I'm going to be late for my meeting with Lady Tsunade, so I'll see you later okay?" Ino frowned; she had so much more to say to her about her times with Shikamaru. "Already? Okay then, you better hurry I've heard how scary she can be." Sakura nodded in total agreement and left after exchanging goodbyes. Ino watched her friend leave and quietly spoke to her herself. "Just wait Sakura, I'll find someone who's perfect for you, you can't spend your whole life waiting on Sasuke."

On her way home, she thought about what Ino had said earlier and began laughing. "Ino's so nosey sometimes."

(Inner Sakura)

Everyone including myself knows that there is no one other than Sasuke for me.

"Ugh, there is definitely someone else for me other than Sasuke out there...somewhere...besides, I'm pretty sure that annoying bitch Karin is all over him right now."

As she got carried away with her thoughts, she stood before her cozy home. She went inside and began putting her things away and started preparing for dinner.

Somewhere deep inside a partially destroyed cave located a few miles away from Kohana was filled with nothing but dead silence and large broken rocks and debris. This was not just a regular abandoned cave, but a old battleground. This was the cave that was filled with mixed emotions of anger and sadness at one point, blood was shed here and also some tears. This was the cave where Chiyo, Sakura and Sasori of the Red Sand battled. The result of the fight ended in death of Sasori.

Yes, Sasori had been defeated but he wasn't completely gone like everyone thought. After he had been stabbed through his core containing his very soul and life by his own puppet 'parents', Sakura and Chiyo were certainly positive that he wouldn't come back. It was impossible. But no, they were wrong...

What no other soul on this planet knew was that he created a' last resort' jutsu for himself just in case something serious ever happened to him. The jutsu had been slowly working it's magic since the day after his defeat, it had been recreating a new human body for him so he may live once again. Now that it has been nearly 6 months since his passing, the jutsu was complete.

First chapter completed Yess!

Ooooo see what happens next. It will just get better and better.

Thanks for reading.
