A/N: sorry if the consistency of this doesn't flow well.

Sitting on the dusty and torn up ground, she rested back on her hands and watched her teammates bicker as they always do. It was mind-boggling of how they all grew up with each other. One teammate always wanting the attention of another but never receiving that attention from the one they wanted it the most.

Until those two finally realized one another. It's weird, but kind of funny. Of course Sakura was a bit bittersweet about the whole thing. Instead of Sasuke hooking up with her, he's with Naruto. The loudmouth and annoying ninja. Who's really kind, and sweet... in his own way.

"But Sasuke! You idiot! You'd think that you would already know by now..."

While she may have not been able to become Sasuke's girlfriend, she's definitely not envious of their hard-toiled relationship. Ninjas are supposed to be emotionless tools.

Until they see their cherished one unconscious and bleeding on the ground.

Thinking about it, Sakura was glad Kakashi-sensei came when he did. They almost failed the mission because of Sasuke.

Because Sasuke was busying guarding the scroll, and Sakura herself was busying fighting two other ninjas, they didn't see the jutsu that caused Naruto to become unconscious.

She quickly dispatched the two hovering around her and immediately went to Naruto to heal some of his wounds.

Sasuke then left the scroll and attacked the ninja that set the jutsu. Sakura didn't think they got the chance to even realize what happened. She had almost felt sorry for the bastard. But they got what they deserved for hurting Naruto.

However, it left the scroll open while Sasuke went on a killing spree. Fortunately, Kakashi-sensei came and picked it up before any of the other remaining ninjas could find it.

When Sakura looked up to see what mess Sasuke had caused, she was afraid for and of him. The last remaining ninja was dangling from his fist. To get him out of his Sharingan stupor, she called him over.

"Sasuke! Look after Naruto, while I check for survivors...!"

Though she knew she wouldn't find any. Might as well check their supplies.

While going through their stuff, she observed Sasuke's reaction. She healed Naruto's internal wounds, but she didn't have enough chakra left to heal any of the superficial wounds. She watched as he just held him. She noticed that his shoulders were shaking. She got up to reassure him that Naruto was going to be alright, when she heard him mumbling. Sakura then decided that it would be best to leave him alone.

Looking at Naruto now, she realized that he still had a palm shaped scar high up on his arm.

Noticing where Sasuke almost held Naruto, right below the scar, she realized that he was still a bit scared. Sasuke lightly thumbed the area, while Naruto was engrossed to explaining something to him.

Sakura gave a small smile.
