The Meeting

When I woke up this morning, I had the strangest felling. As if somehow Sasuke was there with me last night. But that's just ridiculous. I mean, he did tell me that I was annoying. So why on earth would he have been anywhere near me.

Whatever, it doesn't matter anyways. I should be more concerned on the message that Lady Tsunade, left form me this morning. It seems as if two of our chunnin proctors have gone missing. Tenken and Isolet had been assigned a mission to the Land of Rain. But that had been about a week ago today. And this mission was only supposed to take two or three day tops.

Now with the possibility of treason, the elders were in an uproar. So a meeting had been call. And now I was standing outside Lady Tsunades' office door, mentally preparing myself for what was about to come. I had just started to reach for the doorknob, when I notice that there was some muffle voice coming from the inside of the office already.

I was in big trouble now. The meeting had officially begun and I was late. The one thing that Lady Tsunade heats the most is lateness.

As I entered the room, twelve pairs of eyes turned around to look at me. I bowled politely and went to take my sit next to Hokage Tsunade. What I wasn't expecting to find though, was that in the sit next to mine, Sasuke would be sitting there.

I tried my best not to stare, as I slowly took my sit. I was so nerves. I just didn't know what to do. The meeting continued and I could honestly not tell you what that meeting was about. I don't know, I suppose that I was just to preoccupy with looking at Sasuke from the corner of my eye, to pay much attention. I was finally snapped out of it, by someone saying my name pretty loud next to my ear.

"What!? Oh, sorry Hokage-sama. Did you say something?" I asked a little startled and embarrass; at being caught not paying attention.

"I have just announced, that Sasuke and you will be heading for the Land of Rain, first thing tomorrow morning." Hokage Tunsday said.

"What!?" Was the first thought to go through my mind? "Is she being serious?But he just got back. Please tell me someone else is going with us too."

"Will Naruto be coming with us too?" I asked.

"No. It will just be Sasuke and you." Tsunade-sama let me know. She looked at me curiously for a minute before adding. "It seems as if you were a little distracted at this meeting. So I'll tell you what. Why don't Sasuke and you get together this afternoon, and he'll explain what the mission is all about. Does that sound ok to you Sakura?"

"Yes, yes it dose Hokage-sama." I look over at Sasuke with a slight blush. He, though, was wearing and expression of outré boredom.

"How about you, Sasuke, are ok with this arrangement?" Lady Tsunade asked him.

"Yes of course. Are we excused know?" He asked

"Yes, you're dismissed. You may go know." Hokage Tsunade said, before going through the ajecent door to her office.

"Sasuke-Kun…"

"I'll meet you tonight at 11pm sharp at the Ramen Shop in 3rd. Is that ok?" He cut me of coldly.

"Yes." The word was burly out of my mouth, before he was all ready moving out the door.

I let myself sink into my chair. My brain was just to confuse to even allow me to walk. I closed my eyes and tried to sort out the craziness' of my thought.

"This just can't be happing to me?"

"But it is. So just get over it."

"But I just can't. Don't you see, I'm going to be alone with him for Gods only know how long?"

"Yeah, so what? Nothing's going to happen. Remember, he thinks that you're annoying."

"I know, that's not the problem. The problem is, what I might do to him!"

"Well, you'll just have to contain youself won't you."

"But what if I can't!" I practically screamed to myself. Not noticing that someone had come into the room, and was know staring at me as if I were mental.

"Are you ok, Sakura-Chan?" Narutos worried voice asked.

"Yeah Naruto… It's just that I'm a little stressed right know." I smiled reassuringly at him, before getting up from where I was sitting, and heading for the door.

"Oh, did you need something Naruto-kun?" I asked

"No, no I was just looking for Sasuke. He said that he was going to be here in a meeting. So I thought that I might just stop by and see how everything was going." Naruto said as he reached the doors first. He was about to step out when he added. "You haven't seen him, have you Sakura-Chan?" I shuck my head in answer, and he just smiled at me before leaving.

"I need to figure out a plan before tomorrow morning, and I know just the person to help me do this." I grabbed the door knob with these thoughts in mind, and headed out on my own personal mission.
