'italics' for inner sakura

'italics and bold' for regular sakura's thoughts

----------

"I'm so happy to be back home!" Sakura said as she stretched as she, Hinata, Tenten, Ino and Neji were at the front gates of the village as they had come from a 5-year B-rank mission ever since Naruto had departed to go on a journey with Jiraiya. "I wonder if Naruto is back home," Hinata said slowly as she blushed, "you know Naruto, he won't stay in a journey after a long time with Jiraiya," Sakura said as Hinata nodded slowly.

"I see you all made it back," a voice said as the girls and Neji looked and saw Gai along with Iruka standing watch at the guarding post. "Gai-sensei?" Tenten and Neji asked, "what are you doing here Iruka-sensei?" Sakura, Hinata and Ino asked as well. The two sighed, "Tsunade-sama asked us to be guard duty," Iruka said unhappily.

"It should be that baka's duty! Not mine!" Gai complained as everyone blinked, "who are you talking about Gai-sensei?" Tenten asked blinking. "His talking about his arch nemsis," Iruka murmured as Sakura heard him, "how is Kakashi-sensei?" She asked happily as Gai didn't looked up but Iruka did.

"Actually, you just missed what happened. Kakashi found a woman of his own!" Iruka said as everyone gasped as Sakura was shocked as well. "Eh?" She asked as Gai looked up at them, "they've been going out for only two years. Her name's Rei and she just became jounin three years ago," he said.

"That's nice for him," Sakura said slowly. We've been gone for five years and Kakashi-sensei already found someone he likes? Am I the only one who doesn't have anyone? Augh! I can't take this anymore! I have to find him to see if it's true! Inner Sakura thought as a hand was waving towards her face.

"Huh?" Sakura asked as she stared at Hinata who was doing it, "we should report back to Tsunade. I'm sure she wants to see you again Sakura," Hinata said smiling as Sakura smiled back.

----------

I wonder where everyone is? I missed them so much. I hope they aren't in a mission, Sakura thought as she was standing at the old bridge were team 7 usually meets at. "Sakura-chan!" A voice called out happily and excitedly as Sakura groaned, perfect. Anyone besides...eh? Naruto? She thought as she looked up surprised and saw Naruto running to her along with Sasuke beside.

"Your back," Sasuke said calmly as Naruto hugged her tightly as she hugged back. "It's good to see you back again," she said happily as Naruto nodded, "nah, I thought Kakashi-sensei would be with you guys?" She asked as Naruto frowned. "His with his woman again," Sasuke murmured as Sakura blinked, "Kakashi has a woman? That's new! I thought he would be always reading his perverted books!" She said laughing as Naruto and Sasuke stared at her.

"It's true Sakura-chan. Though I don't like this lady at all," Naruto said slowly as Sasuke hit him on the head. "It's not your place to say Naruto. If Kakashi likes her, we should respect that," he said, "but everytime we are with him, that woman always have a 'glare' everytime his not looking," Naruto replied.

Who is this woman? Sakura thought as her two friends began arguing to one another again. "We should catch up to one another! I'm sure you have plenty to tell Naruto!" Sakura said as Naruto nodded, "as do you Sakura-chan!" He said smiling. "You guys want to have lunch together? We can eat at the Ichiraku restaurant that we do all the time!" Sakura said as Naruto cheered, "your the best Sakura-chan!" He said as he dragged her over to the restaurant as Sasuke followed suit.

----------

"Eh? That's them?" Sakura whispered as the trio had entered the restaurant but to there surprise, they found Kakashi and Rei staring at the entrance door as Kakashi waved to them as Rei smiled but Sakura knew that was a fake smile. The trio walked towards to the two, "Sakura, it's been so long," Kakashi said as Sakura smiled at him.

"So, this is Haruno Sakura that I've been hearing about mostly. You are just a cute girl," Rei said smiling as Sakura glared at her. Cute girl? I'm not a girl anymore! I'm a woman, damn it! Does she even know that I'm now twenty-five? Inner Sakura thought angrily as her two friends back away from her slowly.

"Why don't you come sit with us? I'm sure we have lots of catching up to do," Kakashi said. "I don't want to take away your time," Sakura began, sure! I would love to sit next to you Kakashi! Your hot as always! Inner Sakura thought, eh? I do not like my sensei that way! Sakura argued back.

Inner Sakura laughed, then why are you sitting? Sakura blinked as she realized she just sat down next to Kakashi as Sasuke and Naruto sat in front of them.

----------

"So that was when we defeated the enemy and gotten the scroll and now we are back here," Sakura finished as Sasuke and Naruto were amazed. Sakura looked at her right to see if Kakashi was listening, but he was busy as always flirting with Rei, Sakura coughed as the couple broke apart.

"I'm sorry, you were saying Sakura?" Kakashi asked as Sakura looked down, "I was telling about my mission Kakashi," she said quietly. "Oh, well, you can tell me another time Sakura," Kakashi said smiling behind his mask as Sakura put her head down on the table, "we also have something to tell you three," Kakashi began as he put his arm around Rei as Rei blushed.

"What is it?" Naruto asked eagerly as Rei smiled at Kakashi, "Kakashi and I are engaged and are going to get married soon," she said proudly as Sasuke and Naruto was shocked as Sakura looked at them surprised. Engaged? That's so early! It's only been two years since they've met each other! Sakura thought.

Sure! Kakashi and I have known each other since I was twelve! That's a long time! But two years? Inner Sakura thought angrily as Sakura stood up slowly, "Sakura? Where are you going?" Sasuke asked. "I'll be leaving," Sakura murmured as she took out the money to pay for her food, Kakashi and Rei didn't notice Sakura's departure as they've been busy flirting with each other.

Sasuke and Naruto stared at one another as they've watched Sakura leave the restaurant for the day.
