The Flightless Bird

(Normal POV)

It was 12:00 in the afternoon now and about time for them to wake up. Luckily for one the other one got up and the lucky one would be Sakura, Fang not so much since he was the one to be the first one to get up. He slowly woke up with a stir and somehow remembered what they were talking about last night with groan of annoyance he slowly streched trying to not wake Sakura who was cuttled up against his chest. He slowly moved himself out from under her got up, streched again and slowly reached down to pick her up so she could sleep on his back while he carried her to her village luckily for him he still has his bird sense of direction of course it being harder to tell on the ground but he just figured he could figure it out. With slowness, stillness, carefulness and ease he carefully picked her up setting her on his back slightly hurting his wings but he didn't care much just as long as he got to hold Sakura in any way he would be fine with the pain. He started making his way to her village or at least the way he thought it was. It wasn't until he started walking maybe ten feet from where he was originally that Sakura started to wake up causing him to stop and have slightly even more pain in his wings and him have to set her down as she lowered her feet to touch the ground. When she finally had her feet placed firmally on the ground she wobbled a little bit before standing straight up and walking but not before before fang grabbing hold oh Sakura's hand intertwining there fingers together. "So how do you know where we are going." Sakura asked after a while full of curiousity since Fang had been saying things like "this way" and sorts of things like that. "I don't really know" Fang said simply. "Well would you be surprised if I told you, you were right?" Sakura questioned.
"Well I wouldn't be surprised that I know where I am going but I would be surprised if you told me I was right since you never tell me that." Fang said the last part with a smirk looking at Sakura. But Sakura surprisingly to everone she knows but not to Fang only smiled and rolled her eyes. They weren't to far from Konoha only 2 hours to be exact. When they were close enough to Konoha to actually see it Fang started to get a little nervous but managed to keep his composer but just in case he gave Sakura's hand a soft squeeze to let her know so she a some what careful when introducing him to her friends. She looked up at him in surprise and just smiled and lightly squeezed his hand back reasureingly. Which he only smirked and relaxed at as they continue there way up to the village as they made there way up the village gates they almost got stopped by Kotetsu and Izumo. In a matter of seconds there faces turned from confusion, to relization, to happiness, to confusion again as they took a look at who she was holding hands with. Sakura only gave them a short wave before walking off with Fang towards the Hokage Tower. After they were gone Kotetsu and Izumo still had a look of confusion on there face. "Well it looks like Sakura's back." Izumo commented. "Yeah but who is the guy that she's with?" Kotetsu questioned. "I don't know man." Izumo answered back. "Oh well who ever that guy was Sakura sure looked happy with him to be honest I would say this village has a new couple and they look like they are fully in love." Kotetsu said smiling which Izumo only nodded his head in agreement to. While Sakura and Fang had been walking Fang couldn't help but to notice the curious and happy looks from everyone. They finally reached the Hokage Tower and Sakura couldn't help but to ask the question that was on her mind as the decended up the steps. "So Fang what do you think about the village so far." He looked over to her and flashed her a quick smile before shaking his head and saying "it looks pretty good so far I mean I don't like the looks the people are giving us but still it seems pretty good." Sakura only laughed and said "Fang the are just happy for us. Except for the people who are confused but then again it's not every day that they see me with the greatest, hottest, most wonderful guy in the world" Fang smirked at her comment. "Hottest guy in the world eh?" Fang questioned smirking. Sakura laughed again. "Yep the hottest guy in the world would be you Fang." Sakura stated and kissed his cheek causing him to smirk even more. When they finally reached the door Fang was beyond nervous but still even so holding the hand of the one he loves is what was keeping him together allowing him to keep his composure and have a straight face. Sakura knocked on the door and a "come in" was heard and Sakura opened the door.

(Fang's POV)

All I heard was a "come in" from what sounded like a womans voice I wasn't to sure because my heart was pounding harder than I ever thought it would because of how much I dont trust people and with how much I like Sakura and I know how girls are how they usually go with the decision of their friends or at least thats how I think it is considering the fact that I dont even really know since I spent most of my life with Max and when I started dating her everyone gave me the okay automaticly since they have know me for so long but it didn't matter because I was ready for anything at this point. The next thing I knew I saw Sakura's hand reach for the door grab the handle and turn it and it felt like everything was in slow motion to be honest for a second I thought I was having a heart attack or I was passing out but seeing as I was still standing and Sakura wasn't freaking out I figured I must really just be nervous. When the door opened and time was restored back to normal or at least thats how it was in my mind because I thought time was slowing down. We stepped inside and all that I see is a room full of strangers, people that I had never met or seen before I had no idea what to do.

(Sakura's POV)

When I opened the I was surprised want to know why? Because when I opened it I saw the entire Konoha 11 with the addition of Sai, the Sabaku's, Sasuke and his team, our old sensei's, lady Tsunade, and last and certaintly the worst since no one wants to ever see them again after all they have done the Grand Elders and everyone was looking straight at me and Fang. When lady Tsunade saw me she smiled. "Welcome home Sakura."She said and everyone smiled then she looked over at Fang which seeing this as a chance I took a side glance to look at Fang and he looked normal, no emotions, no nothing, he just stood there, looking like a statue kinda which now that I think about it doesn't seem all the normal sounding. "Who is this Sakura?" Tsunade asked and as soon as she said that everyone looked towards Fang some smiled and some did not. "Oh uh.. this is Fang he's... my boyfriend." I said and I could feel my face heating up. I looked over at Fang and he was smirking I then took a glance at everyone. The girls were smiling including lady Tsunade as well as Choji, Naruto was half smiling half frowning, Sasuke, Lee and the Grand Elders were frowning. Karin, Gaara, Kankuro, Neji, Sai, Suigetsu, Shikamaru, Kiba and our old sensei's were smirking although I really don't know why Karin was smiling but do I care not a bit and Jugo and Shino just had a blank face on just like all ways for Shino not to sure about Jugo though but i'm guessing so. "Oh well nice to meet you Fang so i'm guessing you guys want an apartment." Tsunade said smiling. "Yeah and i'm guessing it's going to be a one bedroom apartment." Ino commented before I had a chance to answer causing me blush and look away and Fang to just look away and scratch the back of his head. " Well regardless I will see what I can do okay?" Tsunade said helping me out. "That sounds wonderful lady Tsunade thank you." I said smiling surprising some of the people in the room. "Well since that's settled why dont we all go to Ichiraku's and get some ramen alright?" Naruto said happily and ready to eat some ramen. "Alright we'll go get some ramen" I said still smiling and grabing ahold of Fang's hand that I hadn't relized I had dropped from mine. "So Sakura are you for getting anything" Ino said making me think. After a moment a relized what it was and I scratched the back of my head and laughed sheepishly. "Oh.. Sorry I forgot to introduce you guys" I said I then introduced everyone

(Fang's POV)

Sakura started introducing me to her friends pointing to each of them as and they seem pretty cool but all I pretty much did was just stand there and nod my head but what could I do I felt pretty out of place here. "Hn it's nice to meet you guys." Was all I said I didn't know what to do I had never met these people before but even though thats all I said some of them still smiled but others like that guy Sasuke I think that is his name just frowned but I don't care becuase from what I can tell right now is that most of Sakura's friends aprove and Sakura can't stop smiling. "I think this is going better than I imagined." I thought and then we were off to go to some place called Ichiraku ramen.

(Sasuke's POV)

"What the hell is going on I mean 3 years ago I come back to be with Sakura and the next thing I know she leaves, doesn't come back for 3 years and then she comes home with some guy I mean at first I was disappointed that Sakura was gone and then I was alright with it and then the next thing I see is Sakura walk in with some guy!" I thought glaring at the back of the guy Fang's head while we were all walking to Ichiraku's. "This is also just great because I just need another reason for Karin to hit on me." I thought sarcasticly. "Why can't she and my other fan girls understand that I don't like or love them?!" I thought. "Oh well he may have Sakura for now but I won't stop trying to get her but since he is with Sakura if he ever hurts her I will kill him and that's a promise." I thought in my mind curling my hand into a fist as I thought the last part.

(Karin's POV)

"Sweet Sakura's got a boyfriend now meaning Sasuke really is free and he is going to be mine." I thought to myself enjoying this even more.
