"… last sannin." The voice belonged to a male most likely an Anbu.

"No, but he's here now. We'll kill him if tries again." Tsunade-sama spoke.

"But will Sakura and Naruto let you do that, if they get attached again." Sakura held her breath no doubt they were talking about Sasuke.

"They aren't a problem."

"But they will be Sasuke has already killed Orochimaru, his master! He was weaker then you and Jiraiya but if Naruto and Sakura haven't already surpassed you two now, they will soon." Sakura covered her mouth and Naruto's to stifle a gasp. They had been compared to the sannin before but never consideration that they might be better.

"It will be a long while before that happens!" Tsunade-sama snapped

.

"But, it won't be Tsunade," That was Shizune's voice, "You know as well as I do the only thing you have on Naruto and Sakura is experience, which they have been gaining fairly fast, there already some of the best Jounin we have."

A sigh emerged from the Hokage, "Of course I know. But I still think I'll have them do the job. After all, they brought him back. And, perhaps Naruto's and Sakura's sense of duty will rub off on that sorry excuse for a ninja. Dismissed." Sakura and Naruto got up softly and stood back from the door. As it opened to revel an Anbu. He nodded to them as they went into Tsunade-sama's office.

"Glad you two are here. Get Sasuke." As Shinzue went off to find Sasuke Hokage turned to them, "Don't let anything of what you've just heard go to your head." Naruto took a step back, Sakura just stood there knowing how sharp Tsunade-sama was after training with her for years, as Hokage continued, "I give you points, you fooled the Anbu."

"How did you know?!" Naruto said.

"I'm Hokage. Not noticing when someone's listening in, would make me very… unfitted for this job." Hokage said. Shizune returned dragging Sasuke. Naruto nearly laughed… he looked so pathetic. Sakura compared his appearance to that of a three year old child who was sulking after throwing a tantrum.

"Now." Hokage said, " Sasuke's had his chakra suppressed but of course he still could leave without constant watch. Because, you two were so keen on bringing him here you get to watch him constantly for the first few weeks, and then only at night when I feel he could use some freedom. You two will switch off every other day. Any questions?"

"What?!" Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke shouted.

"You heard me. Other people will keep an eye on him too so during the day you'll only have to make sure you know where he his, but at night he'll have to stay in the same room as you. Who's first?"

"I will be." Sakura said. Hokage gave her a funny look, Sakura barley noticed because he would be the perfect excuse not to see Ino. Sakura grabbed Sasuke's wrist and pulled him out, leaving Naruto and Hokage alone.

"She'll be okay?' Hokage asked. "I don't see her much anymore..."

"She dropped her feeling for Sasuke sometime after he left." Naruto said. "She'll beat the living daylights out of him if he tries to get her to turn a blind eye to anything." Naruto walked out distracted not knowing what Hokage had really been referring to.

Sasuke didn't say anything when he was dragged around with Sakura. He would have tried to get away but he assumed someone would catch him and just kill him or put more guards on him. No, he was sure he could convince Sakura to let him on his own, eventually. Sasuke did not know much about Sakura now past her fighting abilities.

Sasuke assumed that Sakura was still love sick for him. After all if she wasn't then why would she have chased him around with Naruto? He just got dragged around town while people came up and asked Sakura what the hell was going on. He was given dirty looks by most people which kept him entertained.

When Ino started walking towards him he noticed how Sakura seemed to look for a place to bolt. They couldn't still be fighting over him could they? "Sakura why are you dragging Sasuke around? Surely someone else could watch him."

"Tsunade-sama told me too. I have to watch him every other day now. I have to go. Sasuke come." She hurriedly walked away. Sasuke looked back to see what looked like a sad Ino walking away. What the hell was going on?

Night started to fall when they got to Sakura's house. "You're sleeping on the floor. You can have some supper if you make it." Sakura's words snapped out, and then she ate the rest of her unfinished breakfast. Sasuke ate a pear. Wondering why Sakura was so pissed off? What did Ino do?

He followed Sakura upstairs to her bedroom, as dropped a few blankets and a pillow on the floor. She looked up at him, and then went into bed. "Good night."

Sasuke lay on the floor quite some time before he went to sleep, thinking of a plan. He decided against it for the time being. When was the last time he slept and thought he was safe? Before he left, before he ever meet Orochimaru. Sasuke finally fell asleep to the rhythm of Sakura's breathing.

Sakura awoke in a foul mood. When she saw Sasuke she nearly screamed forgetting that he had to sleep in here. It was Naruto's turn today. She got up and went to the bathroom to change. When she came back Sasuke was still sleeping. "Wake up." Sakura said and kicked him.

"mnnnnn?" He woke up and looked shocked for a moment. He put on that face, it hadn't changed in all the six years, and it used to be the sexy thing about him, now Sakura just wanted to punch him. Hard.

"Get the hell up. Naruto's turn." Any hope that Sasuke had of getting Sakura on his side went up in flames. She sounded like she would rather beat the shit out of him. He got up and went downstairs where Sakura was already ready to go.

"Don't I get to eat?" He asked. Sakura jerked on the door so hard he thought it might rip off.

"You can beg Naruto, he seems to have more sympathy for you." Sasuke shut up after that, following her to Naruto's house.

"Naruto!" she shouted. Naruto opened the door.

"Hi Sasuke, Sakura it hasn't been a whole day yet." Sakura glared at him.

"He hasn't eaten breakfast or supper." And then she walked away, leaving Sasuke and Naruto alone.

It had been about a of week baby sitting Sasuke. It was her turn again; Naruto was going to drop him off in about an hour. Sakura managed to avoid Ino all week, whatever the cost. Sakura was eating breakfast deciding what to do today.

She wanted to go out, but she'd have to bring Sasuke with her. Maybe she'd train for awhile. Beating the shit out of Sasuke sounded like fun. Sakura sighed what the hell was wrong with her? Why was Sasuke pissing her off so much? She never figured out what to do. Naruto showed up.

"Here he is." Naruto said shoving Sasuke towards her. "See you tomorrow."

Naruto looked so much better since Sasuke came home. He seemed less restless now. "Sasuke what do you want to eat?"

He looked up, "I get to choose?" Sakura usually just handed him whatever was edible.

"Where going out, but yes you get to choose." Sasuke told her and they ended up at a dumpling shop where Sakura paid for her and Sasuke's dumpling. Sasuke ate his dumpling greedily.

"Sasuke I want to go to a dance tonight." He gave her this look then nodded.

"I knew you wanted something." He looked pissed off as usual, then suddenly smiled, "But the dumpling was worth it." Sakura just sat there gaping at him, was it even possible for Sasuke to look remotely happy.

"Y-You just smiled."

He glared at her again but Sakura didn't care, "This is my favorite place to eat and I haven't got to eat for six years, I'm a little…..happy" He looked flustered and surprised at himself. Sakura could only smile inside Naruto was already rubbing off on him.

The dance was great for Sakura of course Sasuke pouted the whole time. But then Sakura saw Ino, and she walking striate towards them, Sakura looked around there was no way she could escape quickly so Sakura did the only thing she thought possible. She grabbed Sasuke and pulled him down, closed her eyes and then Sakura kissed him.
