Naruto finished his ramen and placing the money on the counter, turned to Sakura.
"Come on!" He said. Naruto led Sakura to a clearing in the forest and said, "Sasuke's back!" Sakura looked at him, puzzled. Did this mean her confrontation with him was not another one of her dreams? Sakura smiled and said, "Good, but I kind of don't care," she lied. Naruto looked shocked for a moment and then grinned and scratched the back of his head like he normally did and said, "Well, I have to go."
Sakura watched him until he walked out of site before heading home herself. Actually, Sakura never went home. Instead she went to Ino's house, a place she hadn't been since the Chunnin exams.
Sakura knocked on Ino's door and Mrs. Yamanaka answered. "Oh, Sakura dear!" The woman exclaimed, "We weren't expecting you… ever. Ino's in her room." Sakura entered the small house/flower shop and trudged up some winding stairs. Knocking on Ino's door she enters much to her rival's surprise.
"Forehead-girl! What are you doing here?" "For your information, Ino-pig, I don't know why?" Sakura shouted. "Then leave!" Ino shouted back. "I need your help," Sakura muttered, "Sasuke is back and I need to find him." "Sasuke… back!" Ino fell off her bed. "What are we waiting for?" Ino rushed down the stairs with Sakura at her heels. They searched for hours but eventually Ino went home and left Sakura wandering through the streets.
Sakura wandered around and eventually went to the bridge. She looked up at the moon and then at the ground and her eyes landed on something. It was a person, slouched against a tree. Sakura rushed towards the person and noticed it was Sasuke. She nearly screamed.
Quickly Sakura knelt down and felt Sasuke's pulse. He was alive but barely. Then Sakura dragged him to her house. His clothes were torn and bloody and he had a high fever. When Sasuke was inside and in the guest bed Sakura put a cool clothe on his head and sat down to think.
Sasuke was back from the sound. Maybe he was sent to assassinate someone. Maybe he was jus coming back. Sakura sighed. There was no way he just wanted to come back. "If I get pregnant," Sakura thought, "Then Sasuke will stay."
