Sakura can fix almost anything. After all, she's a medic-nin. She can perform surgical procedures, make complicated antidotes, save lives with her own hands. What most people don't know is that she can fix other things. She's the "handyman" of the house, even her old sensei and teammates joked about it.

So, yes, she can fix almost anything. But lately she can shake the feeling that she can fix the most important things in her life.

After the war, things slowly started to fall in their right places. Finally, she has all her boys together, safe and sound, well, as safe and sound as they can be.

They spent the first months almost on top of each other. Literally. They never were more than a couple of feet apart and they slept in the same room for weeks. It was the only way for them to relax, to sleep, to keep the nightmares away. She would wake up several times just to check their vitals, to make sure that they were alive and breathing. She caught Kakashi looking at them, concealing his teary eyes behind his book. They were okay, they were together.

But now, life resumed its own pace. She was back at the hospital, Kakashi has Hokage duties and the boys keep hovering around him, his noble guard and trustworthy men.

So, Sakura has too much time in her hands to think. And she doesn't have to think about their safety anymore. Now, she has time to think about all the other things in her life.

She spent so many years wondering and waiting and worrying that now, she feels…empty…

She sighs again, playing with her teacup. She should be reading hospital reports, but her mind keeps drifting.

A soft knock on her door brakes down her train of thought. "Come in!"

A familiar blonde strolls in. "Hey, forehead! How are you?"

"Fine… What do you need, Ino-pig?"

"Nothing, just dropping some psychological reports and I think to come to visit you… To catch up or something…"

"Oh… Thanks." She hesitates for a moment. "Do you want some tea?"

"Do you have some time to talk?" Sakura nods. "Then, yes, I want tea!"

"So… How are things going?" The pinkette puts another cup in the table and pushes the papers to the side, to have more room.

Ino rests her chin in her hand. "Sakura… How do we get here? How do we become… this?"

"Hun? What are you talking about?"

"We used to be friends… Best friends… You used to be my only friend… And then… What happened?"

"Life… A stupid crush on a boy who didn't give a crap about either of us… Competition… Envy… Jealousy… I don't know… We were so self-centered… So busy drowning in our personal dramas…"

"We were so stupid… We still are…" Ino laughs. "Everybody grew up and we forgot about it… We are still the weaklings…"

"Hoy! I'm not!" Sakura yells. "Neither are you… You grew up so much, you improved so much… You replaced your father, you turned that department upside down. You work on the psychological part of the shinobi's life is amazing…"

"Yeah… I guess so… I guess I lived up to my father and Asuma's expectations, hun?"

"Much more than that…" The other girl smiles. "I can't imagine how hard it must be… In the end, I was the lucky one… They came home…"

"No, not lucky… You fought long and hard for that… I used to look at you and think that I couldn't have done it… Waiting all that time, without knowing if they were okay or alive or…"

"I couldn't do much than that… They were my team, my friends, my…"

"Boys… Yeah, they are our boys…" Ino smiles. "We sound like mother-hens! They drive us insane and we still love them…"

"It's our job, I guess…" Sakura stays quiet for a minute. "Do you still love him?"

"Who? Sasuke?" Ino shakes her head. "Not in that way… I love him, of course. But like I love all the others… We became so close, after all…"

"That's true… Just a couple of years and everything changed…"

"Life never stops, like Asuma used to say…"

Sakura nods, before a mischievous smile plays in her lips. "Okay, let's get to the business… You and Sai! Tell me everything!"

"What? Me and what?" Sakura raises an eyebrow and Ino sighs. "Fine, no point in denying it… What do you want to know?"

"Everything! A dangerous, mind-reading woman is playing with my emotional troubled boy… I want to know everything!"

"I'm not playing… Oh, stop it, forehead!" Ino laughs. "We just… like to spend time together… He's… special… different… And after that Genko thing…"

"Yeah… he was so shaken up… He asked for you a hundred times when I was checking him up…"

"I was so scared… Him, Shika… Those boys will be the death of me…"

"Do you want some lessons to deal with them?" Sakura laughs.

"Punching them on the head?"

"It works… sometimes…" The pink-haired kunoichi winks. "But your methods are fine… Sai is so happy when you are around… He's finally starting to heal… Emotionally, I mean…"

"He's just a scared child…" Sakura nods. "I won't hurt him, Sakura… I really love him… I'm trying my best…"

"I know that. And you're doing more than enough…"

"So… you and Sasuke? How are things?"

She sighs. "You know him… Two steps forward, one step back… But he's fine… He's talking more, open up to us… After all this time, we are finally sleeping in peace…"

"In your own beds?" The blonde smirks.

"Oh, well… most of the time…" Sakura giggles. "How do you know that?"

"We all did it… We all keep our windows unlock just in case. We all feel safer when we are next to each other…"

"We are more than teams, right?"

"Right!" Ino hesitates. "Sakura… I meant it… My window is always unlocked… For when Sai has nightmares, or Shika has trouble sleeping, or Chogi is worrying about us… And for you… When you need it…"

"Thanks, Ino. Mine is open, too… For you…"

They sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Ino starts laughing. "You know what? I'm kind of like your sister-in-law now!"

"Oh Kami, you are!" Sakura laughs with her. "We need a girl's night to bitch about the guys!"

"Totally! I need to find out when Temari is back, to invite her, too."

"So, they're official?"

"Of course, not! They are 'just friends'! Those two morons… But I like her, she's good to him…"

"Don't get me start in the 'moron' subject… Poor Hinata…"

They laugh together. "This is so good, so normal…" Ino comments. "Why did we wait for so long?"

"Because we are morons, too… It's contagious!"

They dissolve in a laughter fit, giggling uncontrollably, like in the good old days.

Yes, Sakura can fix almost anything… But that doesn't mean that she doesn't need a hand sometimes…

And she knows that now, finally, things will be perfect again…
