Authors Note: I was really bored and a little mad. I don't claim to be a good writer at all. I need lots of practice and lots of help, but hey, this is a good place for that. I bet there are mistakes too, I'm far to lazy to read through and find them. I am open to any suggestions, and help is always appreciated. I hope it gets someone's interest.

In life you are given choices

And chances to make the right ones;

Fixing the mistakes you make

Is never as easy as making them in the first place;

If you hurt the people who love you

And care about you once,

They may not always be up for another round.

An eighteen year old Sakura stood next to Tsunade; both were staring completely befuddled at the doorway. There stood non-other than Uchiha Sasuke; next to him a grinning Naruto.

Sakura Clenched and Unclenched her fists, her whole body trembling; Half of her wanted to scream, while the other half was trying desperately not to cry. It had been five years since Sasuke had left, with only a 'thank you' as explanation; though his reasons had become apparent after all those years.

And after everything he had done, he stood there, acting like nothing had ever happened. Sakura was searching her mind for the right words. She had spent her nights crying for him, her days training with him in mind, herself begging him to come back; and now, she couldn't even find the words to express how she felt.

"So, Uchiha, I presume you are returning to Konoha." Tsunade inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes." Sasuke said with a slight nod. "If it is allowed."

Tsunade gave him a stern look, " I will allow it, but you will be under extremely tight surveillance, do not try anything or I will come after you myself."

"Agreed." He replied looking away from Tsunade, and at Sakura.

Sakura quickly looked down. She knew if she met his gaze, she wouldn't be able to stop the tears, and there was no way she was going to show weakness, not now.

"I told you I'd bring him back, Sakura- Chan!" Naruto half shouted, interrupting the silence.

Sakura looked up at him. She remembered when just looking at him had somehow annoyed her. He had come a long way from that obnoxious, knuckle head who she though could never live up to her beloved Sasuke. But now, looking at him, she saw more of who he was. He was a real friend, and one of the best people she could ever know.

Her anger grew as she compared Naruto to Sasuke. How could he, after everything, come back, stand there like he had a right to be there, like he deserved it. He didn't. She smiled shakily at Naruto, unable to come up with anything to say.

"I have work to do." Sakura could feel Tsunade's burning gaze, but didn't turn to her.

"S-Sakura-Chan?" Naruto asked, confused as usual.

"Thank you Naruto", She said hugging him tightly as she headed for the door.

'Almost there' She thought, trying to get out of the office as fast as possible. 'Damn' Before she could get through the doorway, Sasuke reached out, grabbing hold of her wrist.

"Sakura, I need to talk to you." He said in a low whisper.

She turned to look at him; giving him the best glare she could create. Pulling her wrist away, she said dangerously, "I bet you do, but right now I have more important things to do." With that she walk out the door, and down the hall.

In the distance she could hear Naruto laughing. "Haha…Teme!"

As soon as she got out of the Hokage's tower, she sprinted home. She wrenched open the door, slamming it shut behind her. She walked quickly over to her couch, grabbed a pillow and screamed, as tears flooded down her face.

He had no right to look at her, talk to her, let alone touch her. He did not know her anymore.
