"I told you Ino, STOP IT! I don't want to hear anymore of your horrible lies!"

"Sakura, listen to me will you? Half the village is talking about it, I WAS THERE! I know it hurts Sakura, but I was there when it happened, I saw them kiss."

"Ino, my heart hurts. I... I don't think I can bare this!" Tears began to fall from Sakuras sea foam green eyes, squeezing her delicate lids shut to fight the burning salt water.

"I know Sakura, I loved Sasuke to. Please Sakura, don't cry anymore. It hurts me to see you so sad, worse than loosing Sasuke." Ino came forward to hug Sakura in an attempt to stop her shaking shoulders and bring the pink haired girl some form of comfort. "You know your my little cherry blossom, you will always have me. So please, don't cry. I never knew you to just brake under pressure, find your strength and be happy again, OK?"

Sakura pushed Ino away with new determination building inside her. Ino always knew how to get her back on her feet again. "Thank you Ino, I needed that. I really do depend on you too much, don't I? OK, I can't just sit hear crying any more."

"Sorry, Ino. I have to go. See you later!" Without bothering to listen for a response Sakura was running out the door of the flower shop and into the slowing rain.

"Wait Sakura, what are you going to do?" But Sakura didn't look back and Ino didn't go after her.

'Sakura, you always were the type to keep trying when others gave up, but I don't think there is anything you can do this time. Things are about to change for us my love, Sasuke and Naruto made sure of that.'

---------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke put the bags of food and supplies on the floor of the kitchen of his apartment. When the Uchiha clan was whipped out the Uchiha family district was left in Sasukes care, but due to his age at the time of the disaster the hokage requested of him that the area be used for housing ninja from visiting lands and Sasuke agreed. For the past few years Sasuke had lived comfortably in an apartment complex in the area, only using one of the apartments in the large building.

Sasuke was glad to be away from the memories in his family's old house. One day soon, when Sasuke was a legal adult he would get the Uchiha district back, but for now Sasuke really could care less what happened to the massacre grounds.

Turning on the lights, Sasuke went to sit at the kitchen table. On the end of the table was the team photo, Sasuke didn't even remember it being taken, but he loved the photo. It was Sasukes only picture of Naruto. 'I bet that can be changed now that me and Naruto are-'

CRASH!

Sasuke jumped from his chair in surprise. Getting up to check what the sound had come from Sasuke didn't forget to grab his weapons pack from the table top. Sasuke followed the sound to the door of his apartment, the sound came from out in the hallway.

Sasuke opened the door with the carefulness of his shinobi training. Surprise washed over Sasuke like cold water, on the ground lay the last person Sasuke expected to see at his door, wiping dust from the front of her shirt.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Ino brushed her purple shirt clean and cursed at the uneven floor board that had tripped her. The sound of a door opening made her look up.

"Oh, Sasuke. I'm glad your home. Therese something I have to talk to you about."
