Can't Leave her Alone

Early the next morning Sakura was already up and dressed ready to make her rounds at the hospital, then she remembered what happened last night, she knew she had to do everything in her power to stay away from Sasuke. As Sakura headed out of her bedroom she went into the kitchen to grab a bagel and some tea she made before she got in the shower this morning, Sakura just wanted to stay in bed all day and hide underneath the blankets but she knew she had to take her ass to work.



While walking to the hospital Sakura spots Ino coming her way but she doesn't realize that Sakura coming towards, maybe because she's to busy yelling out someone beside her, "Come to think who is that girl?" Sakura thought to herself.

Right when Sakura seen the mysterious girls face she started to turn red from blushing because that girl was the same girl Itachi and Sasuke were talking about Keri Ikitaku. Sakura ran the other way right before her friends could notice her, by then Sasuke was talking to the two kunochi's (probably asking if they seen Sakura.) and looked pretty disappointed when he heard their reply.

Sakura hurried on to the hospital after spying on the three, as she checked in she noticed Shizune filling out paper work next to her, but Shizune didn't notice until Sakura gave her a little bump with her hip causing Shizune look up.

"Ahh Sakura-Chan just the girl I'm looking for." Shizune said with a smile. Sakura looked surprised.

"Why?" Sakura asked a little puzzled.

"Well Tsunade-Sama has been looking for you ever since this morning, she even asked Sasuke-Kun to find you." Shizune replied.

"That's why Sasuke was looking for me?" Sakura began to smile.

"Well you better get going Sakura you know how Tsunade-Sama is if your late." Shizune warned her.

"OK your right" Sakura said a little shaky.

As Sakura headed for the door she stopped and turned to Shizune. "What about my patients?" She asked.

"Oh don't worry that's what this paper work is for, I swear I do more paper work than the Hokage herself!" Shizune added a little angry.

Sakura left after Shizune rumbled on about how lazy Tsunade-Sama is and what she does all day. Sakura approached the Hokage tower and headed towards the stairs, Sakura had her head down thinking of how she would avoid Sasuke for the rest of the day if Tsunade doesn't give her a mission. "UFF" Sakura began to rub her head. "Oww watch where your going jackass." Sakura looked up and seen Itachi, she jumped back and began to blush.

"Hello Sakura" Itachi says coolly.

"Umm….er….h-hello Itachi" Sakura said still blushing.

"Are you going to see Tsunade-Sama?"

"Y-yes why?"

"Just asking" Itachi had a smirk on his face and Sakura noticed it, she wasn't positive of what was going to happen but she knew it was Sasuke related but she knew she had to go anyway so after a minute Sakura walked up the steps as thoughts just raced through her head, before she knew it she was at the door of the Hokage she knocked then entered.

"You wanted to see me Tsunade-Sama?" Sakura asked looking around the room only to find herself and the Hokage the only ones in the room.



"Yes I want you to-"

"Yes?" Sakura interrupted her hoping she was going to give her a mission.

"To take a break no hospital duties no missions just brake"

"WHAT?!" Sakura yelled.

"Yes you just came back from a very high ranked mission and you deserve it.

Sakura was pissed so now she had to avoid Sasuke for a whole week it would help if Tsunade gave Sasuke a mission but for now all Sakura is trying to do is make it home and think of a plan to avoid him.

As Sakura walked home she spotted Itachi with Keri they were walking to her house Keri who is 20 was a former ninja from the village hidden in the mist she used to travel with Zabuza and Haku until she was abandoned here in the leaf village when she was only 6, she had long brown hair that she always kept in a bun and would walk barefoot once in a while since she was an orphan she forgets to wear shoes, she and Naruto are like brother and sister because of their situation, Keri was very pretty and no doubt all the men in the leaf village would turn their heads to look at her, she wears a white tank top with light blue short- like Capri's and she is very chesty, Sakura looked down at her chest in disappointment but kept on walking, anyone could see why Itachi would go with her heck Itachi is one of the best looking guys in the village its only fair he goes with the best looking girl right? But Itachi does have a short temper when it comes to Keri and other men especially Jiraiya he is always trying to peep at her while she is in the hot spring Itachi has tried to fight him multiple times but Keri always broke it up before it got serious she could be very quiet and act like Sasuke some times and most of the time she's loud and always yelling like Naruto.

Sakura realized she missed her turn try to be nosy so she quickly turned around and left out of sight of Itachi and Keri. As she walked up to her door Sakura heard rambling in the bushes "Who's there" she said nervous thinking it was Sasuke stalking her. Out jumped a funny looking ninja, "Sakura please accompany me to the bar." The strange ninja said. "Are you asking me out?" Sakura asked raising an eyebrow.

"Umm no no I was thinking that your youth should not be wasted!" The bushy browed boy said.

"I'm sorry I can't I'm er doing something tonight sorry!" Sakura said going in her house and closing the door behind her.
