Chapter 4

It was early when Sakura woke. She'd slept well, but his face kept haunting her. Day. He was very kind, a very careful man. He was sweet and very dedicated.

So why was there a voice in her head telling her to escape?

She frowned as she stood and stretched, grabbing her clothing before headed down to the main office.

Day was in the main room this time, his secretary yelling at him ferociously for not being there the day before during some incident.

"Is everything alright?" Sakura asked and the man behind the counter stood at attention, not saying another word.

"Apparently there was a deadline for a permission slip yesterday and I didn't have it filled out, so I guess we're going to have a party tomorrow which we'll need the whole village to help prepare for so the people in the next village over can come and destroy the city." Sakura's eyes widened and she stepped forwards.

"Not literally. They want us to celebrate with them over the anniversary of the end of the war between the Fire Country, the Rain Country and Taki. This area was being fought over till fifty years ago. Now we have to prepare a party to show how happy we are about it." Day sighed, lifting his hand to his head.

"You don't want to celebrate something like this?"

"Our little village is already busy enough, now we're going to have to prepare, set up, break down and clean up after a whole days partying with a village that knows we're going to be the ones cleaning up. They're known to cause trouble." He looked around as if trying to find something, but Sakura had a feeling that wasn't the reason. "I'm going to have to work on this one all day."

"Do you know of anyone that needs medical attention?" Sakura asked, throwing Day off.

"No, not immediately."

"Then I'm free to help." She grinned, blushing lightly at the fact that she realized she had been flirting.

Day noticed the action and blushed a little himself before nodding. "I'll welcome it." He grinned before rushing back to his office, Sakura following behind.

He broke out paper and a pen and immediately set to work, trying to get all of the plans together.

"Here are a few fliers. Do you think you could put them up around town for me?" He asked, handing Sakura about ten fliers.

She nodded and happily took the papers, headed down to the road.

She decided to start there and work her way around.

She smiled as she put the first one up, reading the contents.

'Anniversary Party to be held tomorrow!

Assistance needed with preparations!

Please inquire at the Main Office's secretary!'

She smiled at the notice before hanging more.

She noticed that about half of the people who saw them grinned while the other half ran to the store to shelter themselves for the day.

After she was finished she returned to the office to find Day nearly running out. "Sakura! I need your assistance again!"

She grinned and nodded, quickly following.

By the end of the day there were streamers all over, tables set to the sides for concession stands and such, people and products to put with them, a few bands getting together and practicing for the next day as well as a few people who were just sitting and chatting about how much fun they would have.

"It's a party. You should relax more. You nearly took this whole thing on by yourself." Sakura looked up at Day who was standing and looking for anything that wasn't completed.

"It's not my style. Partied enough for three lifetimes. Now it's time to work, and this is when the city needs me most." She stared at him with a soft smile. His determination and loyalty to the village was something she truly admired.

"Let's get something to eat and go to bed. It's going to be busy tomorrow. For you as well, during a huge celebration there are bound to be a few in need of a medic."

"That sounds good." She grinned at him as he started walking.

She woke the next morning and stretched, opening her window and instantly regretted it.

Day was in front of the office, the movement from above caught his attention and he looked up and just stared for a moment before covering his eyes. Sakura realized she wasn't dressed at all and jumped away from the window, hearing the cat calls from a few of the men on the street below.

She dressed and ran down, seeing Day helping with the last of the set up from the tables, as a few of the villagers from the other village already started to trickle in.

"Dango?" He asked, holding out a stick for her, his face turned away to hide the blush that he couldn't shake. She took it with a smile.

"Thanks! Looks like everything is complete! You've done very well with the amount of time you had."

"I couldn't have done it without your help." His blush worsened and Sakura tried to hide her grin, as well as the slight blush on her own cheeks. He turned and pointed to one of the nearby concession stands with a big red 'X' on it. "This is your stand, so people know where to go if they need medical help. I also have a map of the area and concessions for you, for food and stuff. I doubt I'll get to see much of you today, so you try and enjoy yourself."

"You put the medical stand across from the main stage?" She asked and he shrugged.

"It's the center of the village, a good place for both. Honestly, I doubt anything too major will happen, just make sure to leave a sign if you head out and come by and check for people every half hour or so. Most of the cases you'll see will be alcohol related. Oh, and the bar isn't serving their special sake today, don't ask for it, as we don't want them to hear about it." He whispered the last part as if it were some huge secret and Sakura giggled.

"Alright."

"Also, I was kind of hoping that you'd, if you would maybe..." He struggled with words for a moment, which Sakura thought was cute. "Would you save a dance for me later?"

She looked at him, her eyes widening before she nodded. "Sure!"

"Great! I better get going. I'll see you around!" He grinned as he nearly danced down the street. Sakura giggled at the situation, but at the same time was trying her best to get rid of the blush that was creeping back into her cheeks.

This was quick. She never got giggly like this over anyone at all. She could definitely see this turning into something big.

But first, she tried to slow the sudden speeding in her heart, was just a dance.

She sat there for an hour, nothing happening, of course, before getting bored. She walked off, looking around the map to find where to go. As she was told she put up a note at the stand saying she was out and went, finding what she truly believed to be the worlds best smelling takoyaki.

She made her way back to her stand and sat, eating the sticks while the band across from her played something soft and melodic. She knew they would be saving the louder music for the party later.

The day went on like that. She sat for an hour, looked on the map til she found something that looked interesting, left her note, then came back, usually nibbling on something.

The music was getting more interesting through the day and Sakura realized that the band on stage was continuously evolving. Every once in a while someone on stage would trade off with someone else and it kept the band from tiring too much, as well as giving them a different sound every time there was a switch.

It was amazing, the way they kept going. The sounds they made were always wonderful.

It was nearly sunset. She'd dealt with three cases of heat stroke, but that was it. She knew, with it getting later that she'd soon start getting the drunks, but for now she was having so much fun dancing at her stand.

A group of people ran by with one man being held with a visibly broken leg.

"Bring him here!" She called and they stilled, seeing the red 'X' and ran over.

"What happened?" She noticed his heart rate sped, and the others with him were covered in small injuries.

"A fight broke out! That guy was insane! He drank so much, then just went on a challenging rampage! I hope that one guy was alright!" One of the men said and Sakura frowned, making sure that she was done numbing the area.

"Where was this fight?"

It was pointed out and Sakura didn't follow the street, cutting through over the hotel, surprising the people at her stand.

She got there and found three huge men standing face to face with Day.

She'd made it in time!

"Day!" She called out, causing him to turn, paling at realizing she was so close to the three before him.

"Back off! They're dangerous!"

"So am I. This village needs you, let me take care of them." She grinned, tightening her gloves.

Day frowned, but noticed the look of determination in her eyes and nodded, stepping back. "If I see you as much as falter I'm stepping in."

"That shouldn't be a problem."

"They're stronger than they look."

"I went up against Akatsuki and won. I don't think they're going to cause me much of an issue." Day's eyes widened and he nodded, watching her more intently than she'd believed.

The three before her blanched at the word Akatsuki. "Such a little girl went up against Akatsuki?"

"I was the one to kill Sasori. If you think you may be outclassed, now is a good time to quit, as I've gotten stronger since then."

"You lie." The man in front grinned and caused Day to falter.

"No, she's not. It's you..." His eyes widened and Day stumbled back, his eyes focused on Sakura's back.

He remembered her now.

Sakura threw a punch into the air, a few good feet away from the men and the closest of the three laughed for a split second before he fell silent. He turned to her, looked down at his chest and placed his fingers on his chest, coming back with blood on his fingers.

"I'm excellent at chakra manipulation. I'm just playing with you and as of right now I can cut you all into one inch chunks and take you to the takoyaki stand. I wonder how it would feel to be devoured by your friends and family?" She grinned, the look in her eyes alone causing the man on the right to turn and run.

The one to the left saw his friend run and took off after him.

The one in front just stared at her.

"You say that, but just one hit and your down." He took off at her at speeds that were hard to see.

She could tell from the way he moved that he wasn't able to use ninjutsu. He was only a taijutsu user.

He ran at her and she just stood, taking the punch to the chest with a grin. The man yanked his hand back and screamed. "Every bone in your hand is broken. I happen to be a medic, so I can heal it if you'll behave." Sakura grinned at him, almost hoping he'd punch with the other hand, but he instead conceded.

"SPARE ME!" He screamed and Sakura laughed, looking over at Day who was still just staring at her with wide eyes and Sakura noticed a few beads of sweat.

"Day! Are you alright?" She ran over and Day stepped away from her quickly, unable to tear his eyes away from her.

"Haruno Sakura... Wow, you grew up, yeah." He stared, unable to look away from her eyes that were now locked with his.

Sakura stilled, staring at him, her real name still ringing in her ears. "What? How..."

"Just... lets get him to your stand, yeah." He murmured, finally fighting his eyes away from her.

She looked at him, the way he walked, the look he just gave her. He knew her. It almost infuriated her that she didn't know him.

By the end of the day the guy who she'd beat had a healed hand and was buying Day and Sakura all the alcohol they could drink. The city official for their village stated that it would be considered an offense not to accept any alcohol they were brought and were therefore downing cup after cup of sake.

Day, she noticed was trying to drink half and fake the other, pouring it down to the ground by his side. It did no good, though, as after half of nearly two dozen cups he was stuttering and couldn't stop laughing.

Sakura looked at him with a grin and stood, not faking any of her consumption and placed her hands on the table before her. "Day, let's dance!" She grinned and he looked up at her, his laughter dying down a little.

"Sakura, I'll tell you who I used to be. Tell me if you want to dance with me after that. You'll figure it out soon, I have no composure, yeah." Sakura's eyes widened and she nodded.

He leaned in and whispered one word into her ear. She just stared and turned, looking at him.

"I don't remember who that is." She grinned and he looked at her with a grin. "Therefore, let's dance!" She grinned, grabbing his hand and she dragged him to the main dance area.

Upon noticing the city's leader with a girl on the dance floor, the band grinned and switched over to a slow song.

Sakura, of course wouldn't remember any of this the next morning.

She woke up, her head pounding. She groaned and leaned, feeling warmth beside her and she smiled, snuggling into it. She realized after a moment that it wasn't just from the blankets, her skin was touching skin. Her eyes opened slowly and she saw Day beside her, still asleep. She just stared for a moment.

She felt like she should have felt worse about this.

She noticed the eye patch was gone and was curious, but didn't bother looking, as his bangs were completely covering his eye.

She looked, the way that his long bangs brushed against his collar bone, the muscle in his chest as he breathed in. She could easily tell that she'd done a lot of healing on him during the night, as almost all of the scars on him were gone.

It didn't really surprise her, though. She knew the possibilities of the power she could draw forth during... She gulped as the thought really ran through her mind. It had been over a year and she didn't even remember it.

She knew he'd told her who he was. She thought back and couldn't remember. She wasn't even sure if she'd heard him over the tickle of his breath against her ear. God, she'd only been here a few days! She shouldn't feel this comfortable with someone! Anyone! Even Naruto!

She looked at him as he turned lightly in his sleep. His face turned lightly to hers and she decided it would be better if she didn't get caught by him like this.

She stood and walked over, finding her clothing and sat, getting dressed as the breath behind her seemed to speed up.

He was waking up to find himself naked in Sakura's bed.

She hid her laughter as she pulled her panties on.

oooooOOOOOXXXXXOOOOOooooo
