Chapter 25
Reunion
"Sakura, Naruto, Kakashi." Kazekage Gaara said. "You saved my life and I want to thank you for that."
"Don't forget Team Guy!" Guy said proudly, and Gaara nodded to him as well.
We had all just come back from the village to Gaara's office on his request. The mission had been a success, but we still lost Lady Chio. Kakashi was worn out and looked ready to faint, Naruto looked unhappy about Lady Chio's death and I tried to look as respectable as possible, but it was hard.
I realized it was quiet in the room, after a few moments, and I looked at Gaara, but his attention was on something behind all of us. I followed his gaze and looked into the door way.
"Korin…" he whispered.
I looked awestruck at her for what felt like hours until finally she moved and nearly ran towards Gaara.
"You're alive!" she gasped as she hugged him. His looked went from surprise to tranquility at that touch and he hugged her back.
"Korin!" Naruto yelled.
Korin quickly looked back at the sudden interuption and said, "Hello Naruto." with a smile. She then looked at me and tilted her head. "Sakura? Are you gonna say something."
"Wait, did I miss something?" Kakashi asked confused.
"Remember the encounter that I told you about?" Naruto told him.
Encounter? What? No wait…She is here.
"Sakura," I snapped back. "Are you still mad at me?" Korin said jokingly. "Cause I can leave if-"
"No!" I shouted quickly. I looked at the others and realized my mistake and gathered myself before saying, "I mean, don't leave…I'm…I'm not mad at you." She smiled and then turned back towards Gaara. He looked at her in confusion, but she only smiled back at him. His expression again changed into a smile as he looked at hers.
"Of course! The two most powerful, creepiest, closed-off people I know; know each other." Naruto laughed happily and attacked Korin with a hug, which she obviously hadn't expected.
"She's an Untouchable….." Kakashi whispered close to me. He was being very cautious and from the look on his face, he remembered her quite well, but he didn't seem to know what to do, what with Naruto and Gaara hugging her.
"Remember when I had gotten kidnapped." I said quietly without turning to face him. "Remember our accounts of a girl who saved our lives, well…" I paused and smiled slightly. "that's her." I slowly walked over to her, ignoring Kakashi's endless line of questions and faced her. Her smile faded and faced me, giving me all of her attention. Not much had changed, if anything, she had gotten even more beautiful. She had grown taller and her hair had gotten longer, but everything else was the same. The complete same…
I felt myself smile and soon, I laughed and gave her a hug. She laughed as well and weirdly enough everyone else joined.
Yay! Random happy chapter! Haha, it's all fluff!
