Sakura woke up in an unfamiliar place. The silky sheets were black and looked expensive. 'where am i' she asked herself as she looked around what appeared to be a bedroom.
"damn my head hurts" she said squinting and rubbing her temples.
"its called a hangover" he said sarcastically. he was leaning casually against the door frame.
"Sasuke where are we.." she asked looking around the room from under the comforter on the bed.
"my house" he said plainly.
"why am I here"
Sasuke glanced at her. "I carried you out of the bar.. as soon as we were outside I asked you where you lived but you were passed out".
"oh..." she said lowering her gaze from him "sorry for being so much trouble"
"don't worry about it" Sasuke replied and walked away.
Sakura started to stand up but was too dizzy to do so. 'man this hangover is killing me!' she thought. "I've got it" she said in an excited whisper. She pressed one index finger on each of her temples then let her chakra flow through her.
"what are you doing" asked Sasuke who was now standing in the doorway looking almost the slightest little bit interested in Sakura's actions.
"what do you mean"
"just now...what did you do"
"oh, that. It's a quick fox for a hangover" she explained "Tsunade taught me".
"hn" he said and started walking out the door again. "since you're feeling better you should know that we have training in fifteen minutes".
"fifteen minutes!" she yelled, then disappeared in a swirl of cherry blossoms.
Sasuke paid no attention. He took a shower, got dressed, and went to the bridge to wait for Kakashi.

Sakura appeared in her apartment. She ran to her closet and got out her konoichi clothes. She put on a red miniskirt. Then her black knee high boots and slipped on her black tank top. Ran to the bathroom. Brushed her teeth. Brushed through her hair. Put on her leaf village headband and vest then she disappeared in another tornado of petals.

Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto had all arrived at the bridge on time. They had been waiting on Kakashi to show up for two, maybe three hours when he finally shows up.
"sorry I'm late I had to help an old woman across the street" he said, holding his dirty book in front of his face.
"for three and a half hours" said Sakura rolling her eyes.
"huh...what was that Sakura" Kakashi asked raising an eyebrow
"nothing sensei" she sighed
Kakashi smirked under his mask.
"there will be no training for the next week" Kakashi said calmly.
Silence
". . . "
". . . "
". . . "
Sakura ran over to Kakashi and put her hand on his forehead and started to check his vitals, while Naruto and Sasuke just stood there with a dumb look on their faces.
"uh...Sakura what are you dong" asked Kakashi
"checking to see what illness you have come down with that would make you give us a week off" she said plainly.
"Sakura I'm not sick" he said "and it isn't a week off. I'm giving you a week to perfect a summoning jutsu. You must have one" Kakashi added. After that he disappeared with his Icha Icha Paradise book not to be heard from again until next week.
