Her favorite days
The mission was a success. Sakura had an escort mission from the land of birds. The land was quite a bit away from the village, so she traveled at a quicker pace than usual. She couldn't wait to get home. The mission was long, about 3 weeks. She missed her home and her friends and, of course, her boyfriend. She was accompanied by Kiba and Akamaru, which was good because she hated the loneliness of solo missions. She didn't know Kiba very well, but she knew he was good with teamwork, so she was grateful to be paired with him.
She lost her mind in far-away thoughts before was suddenly jolted from them when she sensed a disturbing chakra.
"What the hell?" She thought. Then she tackled Kiba to the ground.
A kunai was stuck in the tree right where he was standing.
They both stood up, Kiba grabbed a kunai while Sakura grabbed a tanto that was strapped to her back, and poised for attack.

The battle was long and bloody. Two rogue ninjas from Sound had attacked them, probably because they were Leaf Shinobi. In the end, Sakura and Kiba were victorious, but badly injured.
Sakura healed their major wounds, but she had to preserve her chakra in case of any more attacks.
They wobbled into the Leaf Village hours later, and Kiba volunteered to give the report because he knew Sakura was worse-off than he was. She thanked him and headed home.
She wondered if she should poof straight into the shower, knowing that she was probably a mess. Bruises and scratches adorned her figure and she had blood matted in her long, pink hair. She dismissed the thought and decided that she wanted to see Sasuke first.
She walked into their apartment, yawning and stripping off her Anbu mask. She saw Sasuke in the kitchen, making dinner, and she snuck up behind him with a hug. He immediately knew it was her and greeted her with a kiss.
She smiled up at him and he looked down at her with a soft expression.
"You're late," he murmured, taking a good look at her.
"We ran into some obstacles along the way," she explained.
"And you're hurt," his tone may have been hard to read for anyone else, but she could tell he was worried.
"I'm fine, Sasuke," she said.
"Hmph," he sounded unsure.
He pulled her into an embrace, his head on top of hers.
"I need to shower," she whispered.
"Let's go, then," he said, amused.
She blushed. She didn't think she'd ever get used to his innuendos.
"Okay," she said, still blushing.
They walked hand-in-hand to their shower.
Her favorite days were those when she could see Sasuke in a vulnerable, content state like he was when she returned from her missions. He was always relieved when she walked through the door and he showed it in gestures especially for her.
