Sakura cautiously ventured out of the house. The rain had continued that night, well into the early hours of the day, and, from the dark overcast sky above the village, it was threatening to start again.
She smiled, as she walked out of the house though, happy that it was not raining, and that there was no sign of the silver haired man that she had inconveniently given her heart to. Don't get her wrong, she did want to confront him about her feelings, but she just wanted some time to prepare herself for the talk. She didn't want to dive into the deep end without know exactly how deep the water was…
The streets were quiet. Not many people wanted to go outdoors after that storm, and Sakura was glad for it. She did not need to run into any old friends-
Bump.
'Murphy's law is a biatch.' Sakura thought, rubbing her head, after running into some hard, tall object.
She looked up and met cold black eyes.
'You're kidding me.' Her inner proceeded to hit it's head against a wall.
The hairdo gave away who the person was, not to mention the cold, and damn right hostile aura that he was radiating.
'His hair always did look like the back end of a chicken…' her inner mused, studying Uchiha Sasuke's hair with much enthusiasm.
"Sasuke." Sakura forced herself to be civil.
"Sakura." Sasuke's eyes narrowed as they took in her appearance. She was… pretty good looking for someone he had completely crushed the night before. Her eyes did have dark shadows under them, but not making her look horrible, but just making her look… thoughtful. Like she had lost a nights sleep over the mystery of the nature of the universe.
Nah, who was he kidding. She just looked tired. And annoyed…
Her eyes were glinting rather angrily…
"How was the party?" Sakura tried to control her features into a politely disinterested look. She was pretty sure that it was passable, but then again, by the slightly surprised look on Sasuke's face, she might have been wrong.
Sasuke looked at her, suspiciously, then replied.
"Hn."
Inner Sakura proceeded to hit her head against a wall. The real Sakura just sighed, shaking her head.
'Some things never change…' she thought.
Sasuke shrugged, and then began walking past. He stopped for a second, and then thought.
"By the way Sakura… I talked to Naruto last night, and the dobe told me off… for what I said to you, and wants me to apologise to you, and clarify myself…" he coughed, his eyes dark and almost soft.
"What I said, last night… it was…" he struggled with words, his face turning annoyed and dark. He did not like to admit he was wrong. "Wrong."
Sakura coughed, choking on air. "What?" she managed to ask, incredulously.
He sighed, shrugging his hands into his pockets. "As you know, I got back not long ago. The image I held of you… it was… well, old. It was the image of the twelve year old girl, that was crazy over me, and had no interest in becoming a true shinobi, other than to try and impress me. Naruto corrected me last night, and took me to the training ground where you normally train, and reserve for youself alone."
"And?" Sakura could not believe her ears.
"I saw the damage you did to it. I changed my mind. You are stronger than what I thought."
Sakura laughed, almost falling to the ground in hysterics. "Ha ha, you actually admitted you were wrong about something… HA!!!"
Sasuke scowled, his face angry.
"Sorry Sasuke, I just found that funny." Her face grew serious, and she stared at Sasuke, frowning slightly. "You know Sasuke, you hurt me with your words. You did not even try to get to know me, or even wait till you judged me, you just presumed and believed that I was the same little girl always following behind you two. But I have to thank you as well."
It was Sasuke's turn to cough and look confused.
"If you had not rejected me last night, I would have never gotten over you, or at least not yet. I needed to get over you, and grow up and see you how you are now. I guess I still saw the younger version of you as well in a way. I did not see that you had changed too, and were no longer the boy that I knew." She held out her hand, and then smiled.
"So lets start again. Hi, I'm Haruno Sakura, and I'm the apprentice of the Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade. I am a medic nin and in ANBU as well. And you are?"
Sasuke gave a tiny smile, which turned into a smirk. "Uchiha Sasuke, the last survivor of my clan. I am becoming an ANBU member as soon as possible, and have completed my goal to kill my older brother, Uchiha Itachi, who killed my clan."
They shook hands, warily starting again. As friends, and team mates.

YAY!!! once again, i love Sakura's inner...
sorry people who don't like Sasuke, and wanted Sakura to be all angry at him... i just thought it would be easier for their team to work if they weren't fighting all the time and being annoyed at each other... i don't really know what i was thinking when i wrote this chapter... i had wrote that she would bump into sasuke, but the rest was just a spur of the moment writing...
by the way, thanks to my reviewers, Pance, nickule, and thunderstar101
read and review people...
