Hey guys just a quick little joining chapter to get both the teams on their way to the real action ;)- hope its ok, review and follow x


The next morning Sakura woke slowly, the sun streaming into her eye lids but the one thing that made her open her eyes was the fact she was holding onto something warm and it was breathing, she opened her eyes trying not to move "Oh god" she whispered, her arms were wrapped tightly around Sasuke's chest as his arm was draped lightly around her shoulders she couldn't help but notice how peaceful he looked, he raven hair spiking up more then normal, his lips in a soft line and his chest rising softly. She didn't want to break the moment but soon she slowly un wrapped herself hoping no one saw

"raping Sasuke-kun in his sleep I see" Sakura froze at the cold voice and sat up in bed,

"No Karin, I wasn't" She growled, the red haired Ninja was standing at the end of her bed, god how long was she there for

"Well that's how it looked to me" She bit back holding a blade in her hand, Sakura rolled her eyes

"Karin get over yourself, stop being such a fan girl and maybe he will pay attention" She spat out wondering why she was giving her pointers

"How you know, your just a little slut he is using" She said back smugly and Sakura laughed

"Me and Sasuke have know each other since we were kids Karin, we were team mates and we looked out for each other, I know him pretty well" She laughed lightly and Juugo woke up

"god bitch fight much" He laughed getting glares from Karin Sakura had won and she smiled

"And that's why he left you, all alone, because he 'Looked out for you' right" Karin smirked and anger boiled in Sakura, she leapt from the bed reaching for the girls throat

"How dare you!" Tears threatening to fall, she didn't notice Juugo or Sasuke Jump from their beds, until Sasuke was holding her arms to her sides, holding her back and Juugo was standing between them

"You know nothing Karin!" She yelled anger spinning wildly through her body, she knew she could break out of his grip easily and smash her into the ground, but that would make her down to Karin's level and she wouldn't be that kind of girl

"Calm down Sakura" Sasuke whispered dragging her a little away, Sakura blinked and breathed in deeply her body shuttering from the anger and hate, but soon her heart rate slowed and she could breath again

"Thanks" she said and he let her go Juugo had taken Karin out of the room

"I can not believe her" Sakura hugged herself and stared out the window

"Don't listen to her, what did she say though that made you so angry?" Sasuke asked, Sakura didn't say a word, she didn't want him to know how much his leaving Affected her and everyone else, how it stills hurts her to know he walked away from them.

"Sakura tell me" He said

"She said if we looked out for each other so much, if we were a team, why did you leave us that day" She turned to him, the statement was also more of a question for him why did he have to leave that day?

"Hn I see" He said standing next to her

Sakura crossed her arms not sure of what to say to him now, her old anger boiling up again

"Why did you leave Sasuke, aren't we worthy enough, we are stronger now Sasuke even Naruto, we were willing to help you but you still left why?" Her voice raising a little now, Sasuke kept a straight face and didn't answer just when she was ready to walk away he said

"I wasn't going to ruin your life or Naruto's like that" he said looking out to the moon

"You had no right to choose for us Sasuke" She whispered and finally walked away.


Naruto and his team woke up that morning all of them hungry,

"Naruto get up me and Akamaru are starving" the dog boy rubbed his stomach and Akamaru growled in agreement

"Ramen" Kakashi said sitting next to him, Naruto jumped from bed

"Ramen!" He yelled looking around, the group laughed Naruto saw the girls standing by the door

"Aw man" he groaned rushing to the bathroom to get dressed, he walked back out pulling his jacket on

"Ok guys lets go get some food" He grinned happily and everyone nodded in agreement

The team walked down stairs and out into the street, they had passed a shop on the way in yesterday and soon they were all sitting down eating a hot meal, Naruto was on his fifth bowl of Ramen when kakashi stood up

"Alright time to go" He laughed

"Aw Kakashi Sensai I don't wanna leave yet" Naruto Groaned

"The longer we here the longer until we find..." Kakashi said but Naruto cut him off, his face going serious

"Well get up guys lets go" He said standing up and letting Hinata out before softly touching her hand making her blush brightly


Sasuke sat in the room, thinking over that mornings events, wondering about his life choices had he made the right decisions? he laughed softly wondering what life would be like if he stayed.
Naruto waking him up everyday to spar and eat Ramen, while Sakura looked after them both making sure they ate well and were healthy, going out at night as a team being happy and laughing, They would still spend time with Kakashi and Sasuke might of even of been a Jonin, he could imaging himself wearing the green vest with pride, his leaf head band would wear no scratched showing him as a traitor. He closed his eyes before quickly forgetting about it, he would not feel guilty or regret that wasn't him, he was an avenger he wanted power right?


The team sat in the room, Karin as far away from Sakura as possible,

"So the ball is in the village hidden in the sand?" Suigetsu asked leaning against the wall

"Aa" Sasuke answer he was overly cut off the rest of the day and everyone knew to keep their distance

"So we should leave soon we have a long way to go" Juugo said standing up

"Aa" Sasuke agreed standing up Sakura rolled her eyes and started packing her medical pouch was buckled on and her bag hung over her shoulder, she kept her bags light and easy to carry,

"Everyone packed?" Suigetsu asked them all,

"Yeah" Everyone nodded and the group was soon walking out of the Inn, their scratchy hood drawn covering their faces, they walked in formation and no one dared to stop them or say a word, the sun was dropping over the far off hills casting shadows over the landscape they were quiet as they walked out of the village and into the forest on their way to the village hidden in the rain and soon the village hidden in the sand.


Naruto and the gang were packing their things they needed to leave and soon, the journey to the village hidden in the sand was a little harsh and they wanted to get there soon, they met in the hallway, their bags packed and hung over their shoulders, they walked out after paying for their stay thanking the inn keeper and soon the group was on their way out of the village and into the harsh terrain.


Ok that was it :) just to get both groups on their way to the village hidden in the sand, one because it will get boring if i dont and two because i am so excited to write the Dance chapters :D Review!x
