AN: Here's another Chapter! Thanks for all the reviews everyone! ENJOY!!

Sasuke let out a sigh as he continued writing his reports for the day. Time once again seemed to be passing slowly for him. It's been, well he couldn't remember how long it's been since he held Sakura in his arms that night. Of course he was shocked when he woke up the next morning next to Naruto, with no Sakura in sight. And he almost lost it when he discovered her note explaining something had come up and she had to head back to camp.

He set his pen down and stretched his aching fingers, he felt he had written enough to last him the next month. He slouched back in his chair thinking of what sounded good to snack on when his attention was soon drawn to the window next to him when he saw movement from the corner of his eye. Looking at the source of the movement a pain shot through his chest.

Sakura could be seen just within his reach, but never really able to. Considering she has barely spoke to either him or Naruto since then. He wanted noting more then to hold her, to be with. Flustered he ran his hand through his disheveled hair thinking of the regret he held for forcing her, blaming himself for drinving her away for a second time. He reached for his pen hoping to clear his head of her.

"Sasuke?" Kakashi appeared from the hallway. "Are you almost done with the reports?"

"There coming along" Sasuke answered sounding annoyed.

Kakashi sighed and continued on his way out to do the daily border check. Truth was his three former students had yet to learn the real reason they are here. Of course the mission itself did exist, but the main mission was to return with them wanting to become a team again. He was confident he had accomplished that, but in the two months since their 'little sleepover' he was completely perplexed once again by the actions of his former students.

"Sakura, would you join me on my border check?" He asked once outside, giving his signature eye crease. With a nod, she agreed to join him, unknowing of his intention to pry some information out of her.

After putting enough distance between them and the house he asked bluntly, "So are you going to explain to me why you are avoiding those two this time?"

Sakura was caught completely off guard by this sudden question, especially from Kakashi who was always the one you usually played the 'it's none of my business' act these last five months or so. "I have no idea what you are talking about?"

"No your right, it's only my imagination that you have barely spoken to them or that you still continue your own personal camp out. I had thought you three were getting along"

"You thought wrong" she said sternly. "If you brought me along to poke into my personal you're wasting your time." She turned on her heel stomping back to the guard house.

Sasuke slumped onto the couch, finally finishing his last report he felt a nap was in order. The months they have spent in this house has brought up many past events and emotions. He found it all rather exhausting. Laying his head on the back of the couch he closed his eyes, attempting to take that nap.

"Sasuke, have you seen Kakashi?" Naruto hollered from somewhere in the house.

"He's checking the borders" Sasuke practically hissed, annoyed by the man.

"Oh" He heard the creaking of the floor grow louder as Naruto made his way closer to the living room. "Well in that case I'm gonna go see what Sakura is up to" He said opening the front door, not knowing she had gone with Kakashi.

It took only a second for Sasuke to shoot off the couch, the once wanted nap completely forgotten about. Without a word Sasuke joined the task of 'visiting' Sakura. Naruto just shook his head and lead the way. He was smarter then Sasuke gave him credit for after all, he knew very well Sasuke cared for Sakura and that he was found as a threat to the Uchiha.

Walking across the open grass field they wondered into the row of trees at its edge. By this time of course they knew the places Sakura would most likely be. Walking down a small path they kept alert, not because of the enemy, but because Sakura seemed to feel the need to lay out booby traps and not inform them about them. The last time Naruto had set one off a kunai missed his head by about a centimeter.

After checking all her regular spots they came up empty handed. Heading back to the guard house they met Kakashi returning from his check. A quick exchange of hello's and asking if things were in order was the extent of their conversation.

Approaching the house they caught a glimpse of the woman they all had on their minds through the window. Opening the door their senses were stunned by the sweet aroma of cooking food. All three stood dumbfounded staring at Sakura cooking away in the kitchen humming a melody.

Turning around she smiled at them. "Now hurry and go wash up" She said sweetly. "Dinner will be done soon" Hesitating for a moment the three men glanced at each other wondering if maybe this was an imposter, but in the end did as they were told. Disappearing down the hallway they took notice that she must have cleaned as well and pretty thoroughly too.

After washing up and a quick change of clothes they returned to find Sakura still buzzing around the kitchen. It was only a moment after they sat at the table did she serve them their dinner. Surprised once again, they stared at there plates with watering mouths.

"I made you each your favorite food" She practically sang, serving them each a glass of water.

Without hesitation Naruto dove right into his bowl of ramen, slurping the noodles like a starving animal. Kakashi hesitated for a moment before he began to attack his miso soup with eggplants, soon with the same intensity as Naruto. Sasuke however, holding back the urge to devour his plate of fresh tomatoes and rice balls, sat arms crossed, food untouched.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Sakura asked sounding worried.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes at her. "Did you poison it?" He asked suspicious of her sudden strange in behavior, causing the other two men to choke on their own dinner.

Sakura looked at him, still holding that same sweet smile, but her eyes giving away her true emotions. "No" She giggled like a little school girl. "Why would I want to do such a thing to 'my boys'?" The comment catching them all of guard, she hasn't called them that in years.

At this point all eating had stopped and eyes were focused on Sasuke and Sakura who looked as if there were having a heated silent argument as they held their ground against each others gaze. "Well" Sakura said taking his plate, making sure to move it past his range of smell. "If you don't want it I'll just throw it out" Turning to do just that, she was stopped by Sasuke grabbing hold of her arm and removing the plate from her hands. Despite his suspicion he was starving. With a triumphant smile she returned to the kitchen.

Hesitating a moment Sasuke finally took his first bite. Followed soon by a second and third. By this time Kakashi and Naruto had continued eating. After they each had their second serving they were content with full stomachs. They watched lazily as Sakura cleared the table and none made an attempt to help when they heard the water running, to help wash dishes. Instead they struck up a conversation about this and that.

Sometime later Sakura finally appeared, only this time her bag secured to her back, her face holding no real emotion. "I am returning to Konoha tonight" she stated ready for the arguement that was to come.
