"Sakura, can you give these handouts to Sasuke Uchiha?" I sighed in frustration when Kakashi-sensei asked me to visit Sasuke, a rising star who had been too busy to attend school. We've known each other for nine years but had always argued so we didn't exactly got along well. But who would have known a single visit led to great changes. Hatred was never there anyway. (AU)

AU. KakaSaku- ?ooc? -Sakura never feels up to doing, well, anything. She'd much rather stay home and avoid the messiness that is the outside world. However, Ino has other plans for her bestfriend. How could Sakura possibly say no to her good friend when she's just trying to help in her own way? Rated M for adult themes and future lemons... and maybe some oranges.

Sakura and Sasuke have been married for over a decade, but things are far from perfect, and Sakura's beginning to realize that maybe she deserves better. KakaSaku
