It was during the rest after the fight when Sakura found her arm was just dislocated. Kakashi-sensei set it back, and she bit back a scream. Naruto wrapped it up with bandages and left the room to talk with Sasuke, who was also all bandaged up.

Sakura sat on the floor of the kitchen watching Tsunami wash dishes and listening to the sounds of nature and Sasuke and Naruto fighting about something or other. It felt calm. Too calm for Sakura since what just took place yesterday.

"Sakura," a voice awakened her from her inner ramblings.

"Huh?"

"Are you hungry?" It was Inari and he held up a piece of bread.

"Sure," Sakura smiled and took it with her left hand. She bit into it as Inari stared at her. "Yes?" She asked after chewing and swallowing.

"Does it hurt? Your arm?" He asked, sitting next to Sakura. Placing his feet under the table, he mumbled, "I'm sorry."

"Oh, you don't have to be! You had nothing to do with it," Sakura insisted dropping the half-eaten bread on the table.

"Well, if I was there...."

"That doesn't matter. If's, but's, ect," Sakura laid back, staring at the ceiling. It was silent for a while. Naruto and Sasuke's voices disappeared and Tsunami left the room two minutes ago.

"Sakura..." Inari started, "You've... You've changed."

After that was said, Inari's brow furrowed and he stood, leaving the room.

It was quiet again.

The walk bak to Konoha was weird. Naruto kept quiet which was the most difference than the usual. He kept looking between Sakura and the dreary sky and the bushes and trees. Kakashi took out his orange book, occasionally flipping a page and kept on looking at Sakura and the boys. Sasuke looked like Sasuke, walking cool and collected. Although he looked different with some bandages wrapped around his body.

"Sakura... Um, how's... your arm?" Naruto asked, slowly. It surprised Sakura and she turned to him, smiling.

"Well, it doesn't hurt," Sakura said as she looked into the cloudy sky, "If that's what your talking about."

There was a silence in the air as Naruto looked around uncomfortably. Kakashi sighed at the awkward moment. He started saying, "Good job," but Sasuke interrupted him.

"Naruto, Sakura... You guys are braver than I thought."

"Wow.... Never thought I get complimented by you," Naruto mumbled smiling. He turned to Kakashi and asked, "Aren't you glad we decided to stay?"

"Well, I am surprised at how good you handled the situation," Kakashi replied, closing his book. The looked at his three students and finally got a chance to say good job.

Playing with her hair by pulling it into a pony or curling it, Sakura smiled a little. Inside for the past few days after the fight Sakura has been feeling different. Empty, but full and whole. She couldn't explain why, either.

Why, she asked her self grabbing a headache. The gates of Konoha had appeared. As she looked at them, she smiled happily and that is why she had a headache. Naruto ran up and through the gates smiling and yelling something about Ichiraku. Sasuke just grumbled and followed.

"Sakura tell Naruto and Sasuke you all can go home. Come to the training grounds tomorrow at 9 o'clock. I'll be expecting you," Kakashi waved and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Sakura nodded and frowned at the headache that was slowly going away. She ran after Naruto and Sasuke, the former waiting for her at the gate's opening.

"Naruto. We get off today, but tomorrow we meet up at the training grounds at nine. Okay? Tell Sasuke," Sakura noticed that Sasuke already left and she turned back to Naruto, "I'm going home now. See you later."

"Okay!" Naruto yelled running down the street to Ichiraku's. He turned a corner and disappeared.

Sakura walked home in thought. Or no thought. She was spaced out and felt out of place. Nothing really explained this feeling though. Sakura's frown deepened.
