DISCLAIMER-i dont own naruto. if i did i wouldnt b here now would i?
Sakura sighed. She missed Sasuke, he had been gone for almost 5 years, yet she could not get over him.
"Sasuke-kun, don't worry, I'll save you" she promised for the millionth time.
She sighed again.
It seemed as though everyone had someone...
Temari had Shikamaru
Tenten had Neji
Naruto had Hinata
Ino had Choji
Hell even Kakashi-sensei had Anko
But she had no one. All she could do was dream about Sasuke.
For awhile she had fun playing match-maker. That's how she got Naruto and Hinata to hook up. She regretted that now...those two were always together and it made her sick.
"S-S-Sakura-Chan" she heard a voice call out.
'Speak of the devil' Sakura thought.
"What is it Hinata?" snapped Sakura, annoyed that Hinata had brought her back to reality.
"S-S-Sakura-Chan Lady Hokage needs to s-speak with y-you."
"Alright thank you Hinata." she sighed. She looked at the shy girl in front of her and an evil smile formed on her lips.
"So how are you and Naruto?" she asked as she started walking toward the Hokage's office, motioning for Hinata to fallow.
"Oh, were great! I can't believe he actually likes me."
"Mmmm" Sakura noted there was no stutter when she talked about the hyper-active ninja.
"Have you done it yet??"
"Done what-t?" Hinata's voice became shaky once again and her face turned bright red.
"Oh you know...it..."
"Well...ummmmm..." But when Hinata looked Sakura was gone.
'CHA!! That will teach you not to annoy me!' Inner Sakura screamed
"Shit" Sakura muttered looking up at the sky. "I'm late."
Sakura knocked on Tsunade's door before entering.
"Come in Sakura."
Sakura walked in the room shocked at how sober Tsunade sounded. This mission must be serious. When she walked in the room she saw Temari sitting in the corner. She nodded to the sand kunoichi.
Temari smiled at her.
"Hey Sakura"
"Hn" Great she thought...I'm beginning to sound like Sasuke.
"Haruno, Sakura"
Sakura turned around to face the Hokage. She would have time to focus on Sasuke later. For now she needed to pay attention to her mission.
"Yes"
"Right now we are allies with Suna," Tsunade paused for a moment to nod her head at Temari before continuing. "The Hidden Village of Sound is on the edge of Suna, preparing to attack."
Sound?? Sasuke was with the sound village. It meant she could finally save him. Her heart leapt at the idea of seeing him again. She gave Tsunade her full attention.
"We need you to go with Temari back to Suna and train medics. You will be staying at the new Kazekage's house."
'New Kazekage?? Wonder who that is.' Sakura thought to herself.
"If needed you can help fight, but it is preferred if you stay at the hospital to heal the shinobis."
"Hai" This would be easy. She was easily the best medic; a year ago she had surpassed Tsunade herself.
Once Temari and Sakura had left the office, Temari turned to her.
"Sakura be ready to leave at dawn tomorrow."
"Dawn??"
'Damn it' Sakura thought looking up and the sky. It was only noon, and she didn't have anything to do for the rest of the day.
Seeing the look on Sakura's face, Temari laughed.
"The journey will take at least 3 days, so we're going to need some rest"
Temari checked to see if the look on Sakura's face had changed.
It had. It was looking at her skeptically, and her eyes were narrowing.
"Oh alright" Temari sighed, "I want time to say good bye to my Shika."
Sakura laughed she knew that was the reason.
"Alright Temari. Just make sure you don't do anything too naughty." Sakura mocked before disappearing.
Sakura finished dressing and made sure she had everything she needed before heading out. She had no idea how long she was going to be in Suna, so she had packed most of her stuff. As she made sure her bag was securely tied to her back, she wondered what Shikamaru and Temari had done last night. They had a long journey together and Sakura was going to ask what they did.
She locked her apartment and looked around at the still sleeping town of Konohada. It looked so peaceful; she was going to miss it.
But there was a chance she'll meet Sasuke again. So she wanted to get going.
Also, she didn't want to be late to meet the sand kunoichi. Temari was a bitch when mad.
She sighed as she made some hand-signs, before reappearing in front of Konohada's gates. Temari was already there, sitting on top of the gates, looking out at the peaceful town.
"Hey Temari"
Temari groaned in reply. It was obvious she had not slept much. Sakura giggled.
"What happened to needing to get some rest?"
"Rest is important, but what Shika and I did was much more important."
"So you did do something naughty" Sakura teased. "Well you're giving me all the details or I'll be telling your brothers about this."
Temari groaned; she liked Shikamaru, so she didn't want Gaara and Kankuro killing him, yet.
"Alright, but not till later, I'm too tired"
"Alright, but when you tell it you better not skip any details"
And the two kunoichis started the long journey toward Suna.
"Damn, how do you people survive in this goddamn heat?"
Temari laughed. "You've gotta dress for it. Don't worry we'll go shopping once we reach home"
Sakura groaned. They had been traveling for three days, and Temari didn't like stopping. She hadn't slept in a day and her legs were failing her.
"What's the matter Sakura? You tired?" Temari teased.
Sakura shot her a death glare.
"Alright, Alright. Relax; we'll be in Suna in about an hour"
"Good I don't know how much of this heat I can take."
"We'll here we are! Home, sweet, home!"
Sakura groaned. How could you call this sweet? It was noon, and the heat was unbearable. How did these people survive?
"You're back."
Sakura screamed. She hadn't noticed the man dressed in all black in front of her.
He laughed. "What? You don't remember me?"
He looked up. She saw his face which was coated in purple face paint.
"K-K-Kankuro??" Great she thought. Now I'm sounding like Hinata.
"Ahhh, so the pretty girl does remember me."
"Kank, shut up, your scaring her." Temari scolded.
"Nah, she's just nervous. I mean she probably hasn't ever seen a guy this handsome"
Temari grabbed her fan. But before she could use it, she saw Kankuro flying down the street.
She looked down at Sakura who obviously just punched him.
"I don't need you to help me" She stated.
'Cha!! You saw it I just owned him! Don't mess with Sakura!' Inner screamed.
Temari laughed. "I can see that. I forgot you were trained by Tsunade."
"Temari…"
"Hmmm?"
"Who's the new Kazekage?"
"Oh, you don't know?? It's Gaara."
"Gaara?!"
"I know what you're thinking. How did a monster like that ever become Hokage."
Sakura was stunned; it was like Temari had just read her mind.
"I'll tell you this. Don't judge him just yet. After that fight with Naruto, he changed."
"We'll that's good."
The two ninjas started walking down the busy streets of Suna.
"Wait, Temari if Gaara is the new Kazekage then…"
"Yep that's right. You, me, Kank, and Gaara are all sharing a house."
'This is gonna be interesting.' She thought 'I wonder if Kankuro will go anywhere near me, after I just humiliated him.'
"Here we are."
Sakura was shocked. This was the biggest house she had ever seen in her life. It wasn't a house, it was a mansion!
Temari giggled, "Like what you see?"
"Hell yea!"
The two girls entered.
They entered a sitting room, where Kankuro was lying on the couch, icing the spot were Sakura had punched him.
"That's some punch you got there, pinky."
"Yea…Don't call me pinky again and I might heal that bruise."
"I would love it if you healed me, but don't count on me not calling you pinky, pinky."
She couldn't help but laugh.
Temari groaned before leaving the room, "Don't laugh, it'll just encourage him."
Sakura nodded through her laugher. Carefully placing her hands on Kankuro's chest so she could begin healing him.
As soon as she was done healing and began to move her hands away from his chest, Kankuro reached up and pulled her arm so that she was forced into his lap.
"Kankuro, let me up."
"You know you don't want me to let go." He said, as he held both hands together with one arm. While his other arm snaked around her waist.
"Kankuro..." She wasn't joking anymore, this had gone too far. She was afraid of betraying Sasuke.
"You have to admit it feels good."
'Well he is right. And if he took off the face paint he'd be pretty cute' Inner Sakura reasoned.
'Not now!' she yelled at her inner self.
"Kankuro, let her up." Came a stoic voice.
"O-Of c-cours-se, G-G-Gaara."
She looked up to see the red-head glaring down at them. He gave them both a death glare and the sand engulfed him, as he disappeared out of the room.
So much for him changing.
"Well, it's been fun, but I better get going."
She nodded.
"Oh and don't keep calling me Kankuro, it's too formal. Call me Kank." He said before walking out of the room.
She sat down on the couch and sighed. This would be a very interesting mission.
