Hello everyone! Sorry I couldn't update in such a long time.

1.) I had some writers block on THIS STORY!

2.) I had no computer to right on. ( Seriously! I was in a diffrent house. My sister wouldn't let me use her laptop. Then I couldn't go to my mom's job to do the work there!)

3.)New Year got me so confused in confusion it wasen't funny! (Well it kind of was but that not the point!)

In other words...Happy New Year! Now here is chapter four.(Right?...LOL.)

P.S. Thanks for the reviews!

Sakura spun around. She knew that voice. (Dun..Dun..Dun!) It was non other then Kakashi. Her former sensei was actually early. (It's the end of the earth!) He looked the same as always. He still had his mask covering his Sharingun and half of his face. In one hand he had his Icha Icha paradise book. He looked the same. 'Some things never change.' Sakura thought.

"Hello Sakura," he said.

"Hello Kakashi," she said. "Your still the same as always."

"Well, you changed a lot," he said with a smile. 'I guess the rumors were true.' he thought. 'She is the most beautiful girl in Kohona.'

"I see your still the same pervert as when we were kids," she said with a smirk. Kakashi sweat dropped and chuckled. "Good to see your on time, now about the mission," she began with a serious tone. "I want it as fast as possible," he was about to speak but Sakura beat him to it. "One, Naruto might have to help Hinata. Two, Sasuke might as well will have to see Tsunade-sama after this mission and I would have to go with him," Kakashi raised a brow." I really want to get that over with."

'She really changed.' Kakshi thought. 'She used to love to be with Sasuke and now she just doesn't seem to want to be close to him at all.'

"Also," she said. "I heard the new Icha Icha paradise will come out soon."

"You know me too well," Kakshi said and chuckled again. Sakura stood still for a moment. Kakashi noticed.

"You can come out now Sasuke," she said. "This isn't hide and seek," with a cue Sasuke came down from a tree. "Now all that's left is Naruto who is going to be here in about five minutes."

"How do you know this?" Kakashi asked.

"This is his usual," she said. "He always appears at that time."

"Aa."

"Hello Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled. Sakura gave a nod in hello. 'Strange hello,' Kakashi thought. "Hello Sasuke-teme."

"Hn."

"Let's begin," Sakura said. Everyone nodded. She opened the scroll. "The mission is to defeat a s-classed criminal. Plain and simple. We also have some more to do though. Before we leave we have to also get his contracts that make him guilty. We should get the contracts first," she paused. Sasuke and Naruto knew what was happening. Sakura had a plan forming already. "Since this person is a man I will get the evidence," she looked at Sasuke. "You will be watching and gathering any info on where he put the contract. Clear? I don't want you messing anything up again."

"Hn," he said. He remembered what happened last time. Sasuke decided to do the mission alone and cause of that the team had to find him and them start the mission again. It took so long though. Sasuke made a complete mess. 'Again?' Kakshi thought. 'Something really change.' Sakura looked at Kakashi and Naruto.

"You two will watch over him," she said. She heard a small growl from Sasuke. Sakura ignored it though. "Try to gather info as well. Is everything clear?" they nodded. "Good let's go. This is going to be done in the fire country so it will take two days to get there. Naruto no complaints."

"Anything else?" Kakshi asked.

"No," she said. "Let's go."

The whole trip was quiet. Kakashi was surprised. When they were twelve he remembered how loud it was and how much he couldn't concentrate on his book. He looked at Sasuke. ' He is quiet so nothings wrong with that.' He thought. He glanced at Naruto. 'Hinata must of really did something to him.' He took a glance at the captain. She was very quiet. 'She seems like Sasuke. She matured a lot and looks more of a loner.'

"Kakashi you can stop staring and go a little faster," Sakura said. Kakashi snapped out of his thoughts.

"Sorry Sakura," he said. Sasuke stayed quiet. He felt a bit of jealousy run through him.

"The same goes for you Sasuke," she said.

"Hn."

"Sakura-chan," Naruto said.

"Yes Naruto," Sakura said.

"Were did you get that cloak?" he asked. He pointed to her cloak that she was currently wearing. Sasuke was actually wandering the same thing. He could tell that it wasn't hers.

"Tsunade-sama gave this to me," she said. "I don't know why but she did."

"Oh," he said. Sasuke saw a small bit of her outfit. ' Since when does she wear black?' he thought. It was getting dark. They were more then half way there. Sakura stopped.

"We will camp here," she said. "Sasuke and Naruto you set up the fire. Kakashi you find some big leaves. I know that there is a lot in this area. I'll got get us food."

"Roger," they said.

Sasuke and Naruto set up the fire with ease. Kakashi came back a couple minutes later. Sakura was right. There were indeed some big leaves. They could sleep in them.

"Now for Sakura," Naruto said. "I know that if it's taking her that long it means she is getting something good."

"So tell me," Kakashi said. "What have I missed?"

"Sasuke softened a bit," Naruto began. He got a bonk on the head from Sasuke."What was that for!" Naruto asked pissed off.

"Dobe."

"Anyway," Naruto said. "I'm actually going out with Hinata. Last but not least is Sakura. She changed the most. Not only physically but also mentally."

"Oh really?" Kakashi asked. 'How much though?' he thought.

"She has learned to control her emotions," Naruto said. "She grew more serious especially around missions. She is much stronger."

"The most strongest women in Kohona," Sasuke said.

"How do you know that?" Naruto asked.

"You talk about it."

"You know I'm standing right here right?" Sakura asked. 'Wow.' Kakashi thought. 'I didn't even sense her chakra.'

"So what did you bring Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.

"Since I know you like to eat a lot I got this," she said. She threw a huge fish on the ground. When I meant huge I meant HUGE! Shit, I have never seen a fish like that one.

"You always think ahead," Naruto said with a grin. Sakura sat on a stone away from the fire. Sasuke looked at her.

"Aren't you gonna eat?" he asked.

"No," she said. "I'm not hungry.

"You sure Sakura?" Kakashi asked.

"It isn't healthy Sakura-chan," Naruto added.

"I will be alright," she said. " Now eat."

They obeyed her silently. Sakura stared at the sky. 'Good to relax.' she thought.

'Your right.' her inner-self said. Sakura sighed.

'Even you need to relax from your complaining.'

'Your r.. Hey!'

"Sakura what should we do with what's left?" Kakashi asked.

"Burn them," she answered.

"Alright."

"Your finished?" she asked,.

"Yes," they said.

"Good," Sakura said. "Now you guys can rest on the leaves that Kakashi found. Use both of mine if you want. I will stand guard."

"All night?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes," she answered.

"That's not healthy.."

"I will be fine Naruto," Sakura said.

"Alright."

"Now sleep," she said

.

A couple of hours past by. Sakura was awake the whole time. She was actually used to losing sleep. She heard rustling.

"Sakura?" Sasuke asked. "About what happened before.."

"Not now Sasuke," Sakura said. "Get sleep. That's an order," she said. Sasuke closed his mouth. He lay back down.

"Good night Sakura," he said.

"Goodnight," she said back.

'I love her and yet I can't say it.' he thought. 'She won't even let me say it.'

So how was this chapter? It was actually longer then the others.. Shit I forgot. It's almost nine and I still have a christmas story to write describing love. (Don't ask.) Sorry but this is all I can write for now. Tune in probably tommarow for chapter five! (I think..See! This freaken New Year got me so confused!) Please reveiw.
