.o0O0o.
Sakura cringed and buried her face further into her pillow when she felt someone shaking her shoulder, bringing her out of sleep. Idiot. She should have locked the back door too and not just the front one.
"What the hell are you doing in my house?" She said; her voice muffled by the pillow. "I'm trying to sleep. Get out." A sharp slap on her butt was the response she got. She sat up with a yelp, her eyes furious. "What the-?"
Ino smirked with mischievous eyes. "Look, normally I wouldn't bother, but…"
"What the fuck are you doing in my house? Get out, I'm sick of going through this with you! I'm trying to sleep!" Sakura yelled, standing.
"Will you shut it and listen? Tsundae wants to see you. Now."
Sakura frowned. Why would Tsundae want to see her? She decided against being a medic-nin ages ago. "Why?"
Ino shrugged. "I don't know the details. All I know is that it has something to do with Sasuke."
Sakura grimaced and smirked at the same time. Sasuke… she didn't want anything to do with him if she could help it. Him being around again woke up things inside her. Things she wanted dead. Him being back could ruin everything she'd been working so hard to accomplish for the last three years and not only that… It could complicate things between her and Kyuubi. Something that she'd been even harder to get.
But then, Sasuke was probably going over to see the Hokae too, right now. Heh. Maybe Tsundae would be giving him a "proper" welcome back to the village. It was like everyone had forgotten how the Uchiha had left the village four years ago. She had seen what lay behind his charcoal eyes when he was in her house that morning. She didn't get why no one else noticed it, the real reason he had come back, but then she was always sharper than most people, especially now days.
"Alright." She said, giving in. "Now get out before I kill you."
Ino laughed. "Okay, okay. But are you sure you don't need help getting dressed? I mean, when was the last time you went out in public? Sure your fashion sense isn't a little rusty?"
"GET OUT!" Sakura yelled, throwing a pillow at the blonde. Ino dodged, but quickly exited the room, not knowing what sort of wrath the pink-haired girl was capable of unleashing and preferring not to find out.
Sakura sighed wearily and rubbed her temples. She was exhausted, she really didn't want to do this, she wanted to go back to sleep. She had really been pushing herself lately. The Chuunin exams were coming up again and she had a hunch that this year would be the year.
Reluctantly, she got up and opened her closet, putting on a pair of loose black pants and a red haori. She pulled her long, pink hair into a quick, severe bun, letting her bangs fall freely, shaping her face.
Tucking her arms into her sleeves, she conducted a quick hand sign and poofed to the Hokage tower.
.o0O0o.
There you go! Sorry it's so short. Still, aren't you all glad it's not on hold anymore?
