AN: Another short chapter, as usual. But I've been typing like crazy during Christmas break, so more chapters will be up soon.

Thank you everyone for your support and advice!

"Kakashi has already been debriefed on what happened," Tsunade-sama announced once Harry was removed from the room. "I still expect written reports from each of you." She paused for a moment. "Give them to Shizune. I've got enough paperwork." Her eyes narrowing as she observed the scrolls already stacked on her desk. Her eyes then snapped back to the three of them. "Uchiha!" she barked. "Get over here."

Sasuke-kun hesitated for just a split second, just long enough for it to be clear to Sakura that his pride balked at being ordered about like a dog, before he hurried to obey the command of his Hokage.

She waved him over to her side of the desk and made an impatient sound until he stepped close enough. "I assume you inspected his eyes already, Sakura?"

Sasuke-kun scowled. "I'm fine, he growled.

"I could find no obvious damage," Sakura answered quickly.

"Hm, neither could I, but Kakashi is somewhat of a special case. Hold still, brat," she said before beginning her own examination.

"Ba-chan?" Naruto suddenly piped up. He drifted closer to her desk, hands shoved in his pockets and his eyes slyly fixed on Sasuke-kun. "What happened to Kakashi-sensei? I mean, where was he? He was there one moment helping us save Harry-kun, then he just disappeared. He wasn't there to help us fight Itachi at all!"

"Not everyone's as blatant in their activities as you, Naruto!" Tsunade-sama replied. "And what's the matter, brat? Can't fight your own battles?" Sasuke-kun started to sneer in response, but Tsunade-sama just rolled her eyes. "You're both alive and in one piece. It can't have been too bad."

"But if Kakashi-sensei wasn't with Sasuke-kun and Naruto," Sakura commented with a frown. "Then where was he?"

Tsunade-sama shot Sakura a quick hidden glare before flicking her eyes back to Sasuke-kun. "You seem fine. Just don't do anything stupid in the next few days. I want the blood vessels around your eyes to rest some. Do you understand, Uchiha? If you blind yourself through carelessness, I'm not even going to try to heal you."

"I know how to care for myself," Sasuke-kun snapped back before hastily moving away from her desk. Something inside Sakura finally completely let go. If Tsunade-sama cleared both Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke-kun, then they must be okay.

"I want a verbal report from you, Sakura," Tsunade-sama unexpectedly announced. "On Harry Potter."

Sakura-chan hesitated as she gathered her thoughts. She wasn't sure what Tsunade-sama expected out of her specifically, but it was clear Tsunade-sama was looking for something. It wasn't a casual question.

Sasuke-kun cut her off, however, before she could even begin to formulate an answer. "The transportation jutsu made him sick. Why?"

Tsunade-sama frowned in irritation at having her conversation interrupted, but shifted her eyes between Sakura and Sasuke-kun. "What's this?" she asked.

"Potter-san had a negative reaction to the jutsu," Sakura explained. "Weakness, headache and nausea all presented. It took him several minutes to recover enough to stand. Half an hour walking passed before he seemed to fully recover. As far as I know, he suffered no injuries during the battle."

Tsunade-sama leaned forward and folded her hands in front of her face. "Interesting. I've never heard of such a reaction to an external chakra source like that. Keep him under supervision, Sakura, and report any changes immediately. The medical records of his father were destroyed by the Uchiha, so we won't know if there's any kind of abnormal development."

Sakura watched Sasuke-kun scowl furiously, but he said nothing. "Yes, ma'am," she answered.

"What else?" Tsunade-sama demanded.

"Excuse me, Hokage-sama?"

"What else can you report about this Harry Potter?"

"He seems real nice!" Naruto replied enthusiastically. "We're going to get ramen after this, so can you hurry this up, Ba-chan?"

Tsunade-sama threw a scroll at him. "Sakura?"

She still felt uncomfortable talking about Harry-kun with Sasuke-kun standing right there, but Naruto's little outburst took some of the tension out of the room. Sasuke-kun's stance had relaxed just slightly as Naruto complained. Sakura shut her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened them, she was very careful not to look at Sasuke-kun. "He seems to be relatively calm about the whole situation. He wants to go home, however. He repeated that several times. Insistently. He doesn't trust us."

"Why not?" Naruto objected. He'd paused in his antics just long enough to look horrified at the idea. "He's Sasuke-teme's cousin! We saved him! How can he not trust us?"

"He doesn't know that he's Sasuke-kun's cousin," Sakura reminded him.

"We'll correct that shortly," Tsunade-sama assured them. "Is there nothing else I should know about Potter?"

Sakura kept her face carefully neutral. "Were you expecting something?"

Tsunade-sama smiled coldly. "It's my job to always suspect something and anything."

"I understand, Hokage-sama," Sakura replied stiffly. "There is nothing else I can report."
Tsunade-sama smiled and slapped the table. "Good. Now, where the hell is Kakashi with that brat? I want to get this business over with and move on."

Sakura sighed in relief. Moving on. For Tsunade-sama that would likely be returning to her sake. For Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke-kun…
