She woke, feeling something brush her hand. Sitting up suddenly, she watched the bird fly away. She had fallen asleep in the training grounds again.
"When you didn't show up this morning, I figured you'd be here, Sakura."
She mumbled an apology to her mentor, quickly standing and smoothing out her clothes. Tsunade looked her over.
"How about taking a day off? Spend some time with your friends."
She looked down, biting her lip. "No, that's alright."
She needed the work to distract herself. Naruto had gone training; Sasuke had run away. She was left behind again.
