While Sasuke, Suigetsu and Jugo were serving their sentences in the Leaf Village dungeon, all of my friends were cheering for my return. I hugged all of them, but Shikamaru was being difficult about it. Ino had to bonk him on the head a few times to get him to hug back until he finally did.

"So, Sakura...how does it feel to be back?", asks Naruto.

"It feels relaxing! I just hope my parents..."

"Hey, don't think that, okay?"

"Thank you, Naruto."

He hugs me and messes up my hair. I fix it and lightly nudge him and we both end up laughing.

"What's gonna happen to Sasuke now?"

"Probably death...but knowing Tsunade..."

"Yeah..."

We walked and talked in front of the entrance of the village until we saw a girl. A red-haired girl with crimson eyes and narrow brown glasses. She walked towards us. I tensed as I saw who it was. So did my friend.

"K...k...ka...Karin...", I say.

"Karin?"

She smiled at her name.

"Wha...how?", I say.

"A friend from your village saved me. A sweet blonde girl."

"Ino...", we both say.

Thank you, Ino...

I hug her.

"Where are the idiots...?"

"In jail.", says Naruto.

"Good...shows Sasuke right to do that to me!"

I high-five her but I hesitate, thinking about that day...

"Sakura...I know you didn't mean to kill me."

I look at her, slowly cried but wiped my eyes then hug her. She smiled and hug me and Naruto.

The End!
