Okay…first off…its been a while for me to write stories…I just don't really feel like doing anything at all since its summer…yea, just call me lazy..XP…n e ways…2 b honest…I really didn't like this anime at first but after watching some more of the episodes on youtube…I realized how interesting the show is and now, here I am, writing a story that I just felt like writing all of a sudden…

Disclaimer: Nope just a fan here!

My story here takes place a year after the second season of the show so majority of the people here are like 16 already while some are 17. I won't add any action to this story unlike the show. It's just gonna be a romantic comedy.

Kk, just so u guys kno…I'm gonna include the "inner Sakura" here, I always think that she is funny and decided to add her in…but then when she does come up. I'm gonna type in bold and slant…okie dokie…oh and while Sakura has normal thoughts that doesn't include the "inner Sakura" it will be in slant only.

OKIE DOKIE! HERE WE GO!

Chapter 1: Reunion

"Finally! I'm back in the number one city I love! Konoha!" Sakura sighed heavily and stretched her arms upward and ceased when her muscles began to strain. She stood there staring at the village that she had spent her entire life in and began to reminiscence all the memories that came from here. She remained in that position that she stood in for a few minutes as she enjoyed the crisp noon air blowing past here face. As that wind brushed her hair away, in annoyance she speedily brushed off her bangs away from her eyes. After a year, her light pink hair was finally able to grow back to its length past her back and she usually had to tie it up so that her hair wouldn't block her vision. But her hair isn't the only thing that changed her appearance. She wore a ruby red top that had a zipper running through the middle and showed a quarter of her belly. For her bottoms, she wore a skirt completely colored in black and wore heels that were black, showed her feet at the toe area, and its length starting to form from right below her knees.

In determination and in high spirits, her feet stepped forward and walked through the front gates of the village. Right after Team 7 rescued Sasuke-kun from Orochimaru a year ago, mom had to get transferred to another city town an hour away for a new job that was high paying unlike the job that she had in Konoha. And for the sake of both of us, we had to leave our home, our friends, and this city just for her job. It was never easy from the beginning from when I was born since my father had died a few months before I was born but still, Mom tried the best for the two of us to live even without him. Mom says that he died during his missions as a ninja and she didn't say more than that, considering the fact that speaking about him was as bad as him gone. But now, mom died recently from some kind of fatal disease that had been infecting her for a long time…there was no way anyone could've saved her…each day, her condition gradually worsened until she wouldn't wake up. I knew mom wouldn't have lasted long, just from the way her fevers rose up and her continuous coughing…I wasn't able to figure out what her sickness was in the first place and when I consulted the doctors for assistance, their conclusion was that she was going to pass away in several days and no cure was possible…and here I am, wondering this through life of mine alone with no more family comforting me…

She stopped midway past the gate and into the shopping districts of town. It looks as though the village added more shops here. I think I'll go check it out tomorrow…I need to find Naruto right now…and ask if I can stay with him…

DAMN! WITH THAT PERVERTED IDIOT?

I'm afraid so…he's has no one living with him so I thought it would be a good idea to keep him company…

ARE YOU AN IDIOT! INO IS AVAILABLE! SHE'S AN ONLY CHILD SO YOU WON'T BE A BURDEN TO ANYONE IN HER FAMILY!

Ino?...now that I think about it…maybe I should …

PSHAW! (pronounced: pee-sha) NOW YOU'RE THINKING RIGHT! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WANT TO MOVE IN WITH THAT LOSER?

Sakura continued walking throughout the streets, trying to find old sites that she always used to visit and was once accustomed of seeing. "Ah damn…" She scratched her head and placed her hands on he waist. "Where am I now? I swear, just being away for a year shouldn't be any harm to my memory." She stood there dumbfounded and looked around curiously until she heard a voice speak from behind her.

"Um…excuse me, but do I know you?' A feminine voice rang through Sakura's ears—a voice familiar and tiny, but not actually quiet. Sakura turned her back and her eyes widened as she caught sight of Tenten. As usual, Tenten wore her hair up in buns and wore that same pink Chinese top with red straps on the middle, and wore dark blue jogging pants, and heels.

"Hey, stranger," Tenten stated with a grin and walked up to her, giving her a hug. "How have u been doing?" After that inquire, she began bombarding Sakura with multiple questions. "My God, you've gotten taller, how the hell did you do that? I've been the same height for like 4 years! I'm even older than you! How the hell? DAMMIT!"

Sakura smiled and watched Tenten pout childishly. "You better hurry up and grow, cause by the time you're 18, you'll stay the same height permanently."

Tenten gave out a shriek and backed up from the astonishment. "Eh? You can't be serious! That's a year away! Oh, damn!" She hopped in the air from frustration and continued cursing as her face began to burn up from anger.

"Just drink milk."

Tenten stopped her overreactions and scoffed. "You mean 'cow piss?' Hell no! How can you drink that? It smells like--"

"Well then, stop complaining then." Sakura said coolly as she glared at her friend.

"Hm? What's wrong? You seem really grumpy." Tenten asked lowering her head and putting her arms behind her back.

Sakura shook her bangs away from her face and gave out a fake smile. "I'm fine…I'm just tired…" She walked up to her and hooked her arm with hers. "C'mon, can you take me to Ino's place?"

Tenten gleefully giggled. "Not yet. I gotta show you everyone else." She shook herself off the link of their arms and grabbed hold of her wrist as she dragged her to meet the others.

"I-I can't. I look horrible right n-now!" Sakura stuttered in fear. She tried to release herself from Tenten's grasp, but was of no use.

Tenten gave out a heartily laugh. "Nonsense! You look gorgeous! By the way, where did u buy that outfit? I gotta have it too! You don't mind do you? I'm getting tired of wearing these kinds of Chinese outfits. What store did you buy it from? Did you buy it from Konoha or the city that you lived in for a year? Hey, what's the name of the city anyway?..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After listening to Tenten's questions, she led Sakura to an area in the park where the group sat under a tree. Apparently, they had paid no attention to the two coming toward them as they continued socializing.

"HEY EVERYONE! LOOK WHO I FOUND WHILE MAKING MY WAY HERE!" Tenten exclaimed pushing Sakura in front of her as silence sealed the mouths of everyone in the group.

Sakura stood in a stance where her knees were connected and hid her arms behind her back as she shyly muttered, "Hi guys…"

The group remained silent until Neji spoke up in his usual composure. "Uh…who are you?"

Sakura blushed rapidly in embarrassment and gently chuckled to herself. She leaned to the ground and picked up a rock the size of her palm and weighed it in her hand, seeing if it was heavy and without hesitation, she threw it at Neji. "NEJI…YOU SON OF A BITCH! HOW CAN YOU FORGET ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS!" Sakura boomed as she approached the flock of them. "THAT ALSO GOES FOR THE REST OF YOU! DO YOU KNOW HOW EMBARRASSING THAT IS!"

Shikamaru chuckled and stood up. "So it's Sakura, huh? Sorry we didn't recognize you. You just look different, that's all." After his statement, everyone began greeting her as their memories refreshed.

I don't look that different, do I?

"So what brings you back to Konoha?" Kiba sat up from Akamaru and hopped off to sit with the rest of the group. He patted the 7 foot Akamaru on his side and urged him to say "hi" to Sakura.

As Sakura noticed the dog was approaching her, she yelped and hid behind Tenten. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?" She shouted with horror.

Tenten turned her head around and answered her question with ease. "Oh that's Akamaru. I know, he's gotten huge."

Sakura's eyes stayed open in shock. "T-that's n-no dog! That's f-frickin' Godzilla!" She pointed at him and watched as he walked up to her.

You sissy. He isn't gonna eat you up, you idiot. "Akamaru, stay." He commanded and glared at Sakura. "He's not gonna kill ya u'kno."

"I-I swear….that thing's a mutant." Sakura proclaimed as she stepped in front of Tenten and walked toward the group as Tenten followed.

Kiba held a look of annoyance and stuck his middle finger at her. "Stop insulting him you brat."

Sakura took a sit beside Lee and Tenten and give out a large sigh. DAMMIT! Just stick that finger up your ass, you bastard!

Lee dazed out and stared at her as his cheeks became ruby red at the sight of her face. "My sweet little angel…" He hissed quietly to himself as he laid his arm on his leg and rested his face on it. To the other side of him, Chouji shoved him on the arm as he continued stuffing his mouth with the bag of chips that he had in hand.

"I heard that you know…" He declared as Lee looked at him still dazing out at his own daydreams of her. Chouji shook when he looked at Lee's expression which was his eyes sparkling with delight and his smile shining brightly. "Damn it…you are seriously a dork."

"What did you say, porky?" Lee eyed him carefully and grabbed the bag of chips from him. "Here, Sakura-chan. You have it." He cheerfully offered.

"Hey! Give that back to me!"

"It's Sakura-chan's now."

"You guys fighting over Sakura or somethin'?" Kiba turned his head to the two boys and turned his attention to Sakura. "Hey, Sakura, you ever met anyone special there in that place you were at?"

"Special?" Lee's eyes gleamed in fury as he focused on the conversation.

"Lee, gimme back my chips you bastard!" Chouji yelled.

Sakura hesitated a bit and bit her lower lip. "Not really, but did take interest in this one boy. I was told he had a crush on me but he left the town about a month ago."

Kiba, while listening to her story, cornered his eyes toward Lee whose eyes began to swell up. He laughed to himself and lied on his back while he listened.

"S-Sakura-chan…h-how can you betray my love like this?"

In confusion, Sakura raised an eyebrow at him. "What're you talking about?"

Lee sniffed and wiped his nose as he continued on. "My love for you has gone to waste for some other guy!" He leaned in closer to her and held her hands together with his. "No matter, I forgive you with all my heart and with all my heart, I will love you for all eternity!"

Sakura leaned back from being appalled and opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Lee's finger blocking the opening to her mouth. "No, you don't need to speak to apologize. Instead, you can apologize with this…" His face leaned over to hers and everyone in shock stared at them as they took in interest in the upcoming action.

Lee, you idiot…Tenten thought to herself as she crossed her arms and looked away.

What the hell? What kind of lame-ass dialogue is that? Shikamaru's eyebrows twitched in irritation as Lee went to close in the kiss.

Lee, you dumbass…how can you say something as retarded as that? Neji placed his hand on his forehead and let out a deep breath.

YEAH! This is entertaining! Just as I expected it to be! Kiba brought himself up and leaned against Akamaru who lay on the ground.

Hmm…once when he kisses her…I snatch the chips away…and my dear old friend tummy here will be satisfied. Right? Chouji patted his stomach loudly and raised his head up as he watched in anticipation for the move.

"Sakura-chan…today I will show you how much I love you…and from this day forward, you will be mine!"

Sakura shuddered at his words. "Mine?" DAMMIT SAKURA! GET OUTTA THERE NOW!

"Yes, today you will be mine while I am yours…you are able to have my body to have for your own…you can have everything of me…while you can return the same for me…" Lee smoothed out his words as the words flew out of his mouth. His voice became low and deep as he slowly neared his face towards hers.

Oh God, he already sounds horny…Shikamaru rolled his eyes as he resumed watching them.

What the hell? Neji thought to himself as he began to feel annoyed.

"Dammit, do something already stupid!" Kiba shouted as he raised his arm in the air as he cupped his mouth with the other hand.

"Lee…just go to hell." Tenten said, leaning back as she tried to stay away from Sakura.

...ready…set…Chouji sat up, with his knees set on the ground…getting ready to attack when Lee made his move.

"…with this kiss…from now on, we will be a couple. Then in the next 5 years we will get married and you will bare 9 of my children before then…"

"Oh my God, what is he trying to do?" His voice it sounds so…sexy…WHAT? HELL NO! CREEPY! CREEPY! IT'S DOWNRIGHT CREEPY!...his voice…it really is drawing me in…NO NO! DON'T FALL FOR IT YOU IDIOT!...i think I love him…NO YOU DON'T! IF YOU DON'T LISTEN, YOU'RE GONNA GET THE NASTIEST PUCKER UP IN YOUR LIFE!

Here goes! Lee was in distance with her face and briefly touched his lips with hers while she waited for her to kiss him back for the kiss to be even more passionate.

"…..GGGOOOO!" Chouji charged and Sakura jolted from her position and stood up swiftly from the sight of Chouji. "GIVE ME BACK MY CHIPS YOU BASTARD!" He reached out his arms and tackled Lee but only made him stumble forward and accidentally press his lips on Tenten's lips when she turned to see what was going on.

"WHAT THE HELL! I expected Sakura and Lee to be a couple but…I guess these two are okay." Kiba flung a thumb up at the two of them and laughed uproariously.

Oh my God…that was close…Sakura panted deeply and walked to Shikamaru as she sat right next to him. "Well, that's an interesting sight…don't you think?"

"Hmph. Romance is nothing more than a waste to everyone's lives…just what the hell do people plan to gain from it anyway?"

'What do people plan to gain from it?' Sakura sat there contemplating for a second and then stayed silent. "Are you saying that it isn't worth it?"

Shikamaru sighed. "I dunno. You should at least know…especially Ino…you two practically crave for love…considering the fact on how you two competed for Sasuke's attention."

Sakura stared blankly at him as she noticed that Lee and Tenten both broke themselves from the kiss that they both held firm and blushed while they tried to turn their attention elsewhere. Then to the side of Shikamaru, Neji quietly walked away, as his hands were shoved in his pockets.

"I had enough of this. I'm going back." He responded as he went away, everyone watching him walk off.

"Say, Shikamaru, could it be that Neji has that 'more than a friend' connection to Tenten?" Sakura poked his shoulder repeatedly until he replied.

Shikamaru swat her hands away from him and crossed his arms. "Tch. Are you joking? If you haven't noticed, Neji isn't the kind of person who puts women in his top priority list."

"Then is he gay then?"

Shikamaru's eyebrows twitched as he easily said no. "How the hell can you conclude something like that?"

"Here's another question, are you gay? You don't think much of girls so does that mean that you think of guys then?"

"HELL NO! DO I LOOK LIKE A HOMO TO YOU!"

Sakura contemplated a bit and sneered. "Take off that ponytail then you're straight.."

Shikamaru's eyes lowered at her and she kept his eyes attached to her face. "If men wear ponytails, that does not make them gay."

Sakura hissed at him and declared, "Girls are the one that are supposed to wear ponytails. Not guys."

Shikamaru beamed at her and retorted, "What am I supposed to do? Shave my head until I'm bald!"

"Exactly."

"I'd look like a monk!" He paused for a moment and relaxed his growing tension. "You know, just shut the hell up."

Sakura smiled childishly and looked at Kiba who was still laughing hysterically while Chouji was still snacking on his chips, and Lee and Tenten were blushing rapidly at each other.

"I'm going to go now. See you squirt." He brought himself up and when his back was turned, he waved back at her.

Sakura looked at the afternoon sky and sighed deeply, inhaling the fresh fragrant air as she fell back to lie on the ground. I wonder if Shikamaru is right? Romance is nothing more than a waste of time…that's seems to be the case…I never seem to concentrate whenever I think of any boy that I like…it just gets in the way…maybe love is something I shouldn't have…BULLSHIT…YOU NEED LOVE!... shut up!
