Bright smile of the loved

A/N: Sorry for the slow update but, this is for IRULETHEWORLD! Sorry, it's a little short but, please enjoy!

I pulled on my favorite pink hoody. I smiled at my mom. "Thank you for the ride, momma!" I called and got out of the car. I made sure the hood covered my hair. I stuffed my hands in my pocket and through my backpack over my shoulder. I walked to the front of the school. No one spared me a second glance. But I did notice that people were talking about me. Calling me brave and a hero.

I felt warm and happy inside. All the stories had different endings like I jumped off the bridge, was pushed, shot, or went missing. Some where really close and good. Others were way off! I sat down on the steps and waited for my friends to show up. I hope the brothers didn't ruin the surprise. Those turds better not. After a few minutes all my friends came into view accept the older friends. They were all chatting softly.

Hinata looked so broken. Her head was down and her eyes were red. Naruto had his arm around her holding her close. TenTen had her head leaned on Neji. He whispered soft words to her and she would nod slowly. Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro were huddled together whispering to each other. Kiba was muttering something to Akamaru, his dog, while Shino nodded in a agreement every few seconds. Even Lee had a dark cloud over his head. His head down and his hair covered his eyes. Choji wasn't eating and Shikamaru was look at the sky with a sad face.

They must really miss me.

Such good friends.

The Uchiha brothers were seeming to look around for me. Both looked excited and well.... unpredictable. Ino was leaning on Sasuke. She looking at the ground sadly.

I stared at them.

So loyal...

I stood slowly, catiously.

So unpredictable...

They saw me. I dropped my hood to reveal my pink hair. I smiled at them. They all froze.

So faithful....

They all stared, guarded. All but the brothers. They smiled at each other than to me. They know it's coming. I do too. Oh! Here it comes.

So....

"Sakura!!!" they all screamed and raced toward me. I opened my arms to welcome the stamped. My friends. They all came at me at once. I was smothered in hugs. That caught everyone else's attention. They too came to see what was going on, as well as the teachers that were outside at the time. Surprised faces all around.

So...

I feel so loved in their arms. All my friends shed tears. When they finally moved back, the older kids showed up. They, too, went completely and utterly insane. I got more hugs and thousands of questions. All their words began to blur together into one huge voice that echoed worry, relief, disbelief and love.

"How are you alive?!"

"How did you survive?!"

"When did you get back?!"

"How do you feel?!"

"Is that really you?!"

"How did this happen?!"

All these questions echoed through my head. Then something suddenly occurred to me. I don't think I can accurately answer any of these questions. I'm not sure how any of this happened. I don't know what to tell anyone what happened after I fell into the river after Sai pointed a gun to Itachi's head.

All I remember was screaming, landing in cold water, watching Sai drowned before my eyes, blood seep from my wound, and I remember a light. A light that seemed to engulf me whole and well, you know... take me to heaven. But if that is true... how did I get back here? I just don't know. I shook the thoughts away and focusted on my friends.

They cried, they cheered. They. Are. Here. They are so..... so.....

Real.

A/N: How was that? Let me know! Have a good day! Have any questions? Don't be afraid to ask! Please rate and review!
