Disclaimer:

Me: Okay, this week I'm staying ninja for my disclaimer… I guess. But they're kind of in their angelic and demonic forms! I'm bringing in Two original Characters from the Naruto Roleplay site I'm a part of Naruto Seishin. Please Welcome Angelic Yukio and Demonic Ekaitz!

Angelic Yukio: Umm… Hi? XD

Demonic Ekaitz: Aww is Yuki-puu nervous?

Angelic Yukio: Of course not! I'm just not certain why I'm here.

Me: We'll you all are here because… well… I asked you to do my disclaimer?

Demonic Ekaitz: Why can't you do it yourself?

Me: Cause I'm cool like that.

Angelic Yukio: I suppose we should do the disclaimer now?

Demonic Ekaitz: Pfft, Why?

Angelic Yukio: Because if we don't then Bundyangel is stealing! And that is a Sin! And Bundyangel is not a sinner!

Demonic Ekaitz: Of course Yuki-puu. Whatever was I thinking?!

Angelic Yukio: Sinful things.

Demonic Ekaitz: What?

Me: WELL anyway!! Lets just… not… stray form the topic at hand okay? I want to warn and entertain my readers, not corrupt them.

Demonic Ekaitz: Too bad, there's always room for damned souls in hell. Right Yuki-puu?

Angelic Yukio: … No. Continuing on! Bundyangel does not own Naruto, the series Naruto, no backgrounds, sound effects, characters, appearances, plot, music, or anything at ALL that has to do with the series Naruto. She makes no claim to it at all.

Demonic Ekaitz: Thorough aren't we Yuki-puu?

Angelic Yukio: God always says better to be safe then sorry!

Demonic Ekaitz: Yeah yeah… Are we done now?

Me: You didn't even do anything except ask questions.

Demonic Ekaitz: So?

Me: -sighs- never mind. Thank you both for coming. Now onto my story!

Chapter 9: Reactions and weighing the choices.

It was all too much in one day for me and I knew it. My eyelids grew heavier and I kept linking them rapidly to keep them open. Sasuke was in my room with his arms around me. No matter how tired I was I was not going to miss this. But damn it his chest was really warm, and this day was so emotionally draining.

Apparently Sasuke felt my sleepiness and it amused him, for he smirked and chuckled lightly,

"Sakura. With control, things like this wouldn't hurt anymore. But I do think this has been a little too much for you. Time for sleep." I nodded silently as his arms tightened and I sank onto his warmth and strength and allowed the blanket of unconsciousness to begin its work over my body. I felt Sasuke lift me up and put me on my bed. Pulling up the covers and laying a soft quick kiss onto my lips. The last thing I heard before my mind slipped into dreams was his light laughter and a quiet,

"Good night Sakura. I'll see you around."

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

(Normal P.O.V.)

Sakura mumbled incoherently still half asleep as she turned over in her bed and slipped a hand under her pillow,

"Ouch!" Sakura sat up clutching her hand.

It was bleeding slightly from a small cut. Confused, Sakura lifted up her pillow and saw her kunai in its place once again. Sakura raised an eyebrow confused and looked around her room,

'Soo… He put all my weapons back? … Why on earth would he do that? Idiot.' Shrugging Sakura healed her cut finger, ignoring the minor twang from the mark on her shoulder.

Picking up the kunai and replacing her pillow, Sakura walked to her bathroom spinning the kunai around her finger.

'I'm basically on probation now right? So what the crap am I gonna do all day every day for the next couple of weeks?' Sasuke's visit last night popped into her head and the offers he made along with it,

'So you really going to do it?'

'Inner? I don't know what I'm going to do. Any ideas?'

'I'm your inner personality Outer, not your heart. But as your Inner personality and having the awesome advice that I do! I say you should make a list!'

'A… list?'

'Yes! A list!'

'What kind of list Inner?'

'What? … OH! Yeah! A list where you organize your thoughts weighing the pros and cons of each choice you could follow, how it affects you, your friends, your life, and your future. You should carefully label each and every thing that could go wrong, or right. You should think of all the benefits for yourself and all the things that could make it worse.'

'Holy Crap, Inner.'

'What?! Did I forget something?'

'NO… It's just that…. That is one of the most well thought out intelligent things you've ever said. Plus it's the longest thing you've ever said without swearing.'

'I'm rude, not stupid Outer.'

'Well it's a good idea. Thanks!'

'No problem! Just remember don't name names on your list and don't let anyone see it. You've got a month remember? Be thorough.'

'Good idea… Maybe I should go see Naruto…'

'Yeah! Go see the knucklehead! Maybe get some ramen? You didn't eat last night and it's about 10 now. I'm hungry, shannaro!'

'Heh, okay Inner. You sound like Naruto now. We spend too much time around him.'

'Maybe.'

Sakura grinned at her Inner self and finished getting ready for the day, heading out to look for her favorite blonde teammate.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Sakura for some reason was surprised when she didn't find Naruto at Ichiraku but at the park. He was eating yes, but not Ramen.

The Loud-mouthed ninja was sitting in a park with the petite Hyuuga heiress eating something actually healthy. It looked green and leafy.

Had Hinata actually managed to convince Naruto the Ramen addict to eat a Salad?!

They didn't look very private so Sakura decided she had to go and poke just a little fun at him. Walking forward Sakura interlocked her fingers behind her back and smiled widely.

"You amaze me Hinata-chan."Hinata looked up confused and then seeing Sakura's mischievous grin, smiled as well.

Quickly hiding the smile Hinata asked innocently,

"What about me amazes you Sakura-chan?" Naruto looked up sourly and glared, telling Sakura to say nothing,

Sakura just grinned and plopped into the seat next to Naruto and wrapped a arm around his neck,

"That you got Naruto to eat something part of the other three main food groups."

"SAKURA-CHYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!! That was mean! Ramen is part of more then one food group!" Sakura gave Naruto a flat look once had started trying to shove her arm off of him,

"Its water, noodles, and artificial flavorings. It is pure sodium."

"Noooooo! You be nice to my Ramen! Plus there are vegetables in it! Those are a different food group!" Sakura thought for a moment and then nodded,

"I suppose. But still, you don't need to eat that much ramen its not good for you."

"I agree with Sakura-chan Naruto-kun. That's why I made you promise to eat what I brought you." Hinata smiled and Naruto blushed lightly before enveloping her in a hug,

"N-Naruto-kun?!"

"Thanks for worrying about me Hinata-chan." Sakura smiled as Hinata's eyes widened and then drifted closed as she smiled and hugged him back,

"You're welcome." Sakura squirmed a little feeling once again like an intruder.

Sakura stood and waving a small bye to the happy couple set off to the ramen bar. Despite the lecture she had just given Naruto on how bad Ramen 24/7 was for your health, Sakura felt the need for some of the 'world famous' Ichiraku Miso Ramen.

Sakura sat at the old stool and ordering her Ramen spun around and leaned back on the counter looking out in between the mall flaps that covered the open stand. Sakura's eyes landed on two red glowing objects in a tree and her mouth dropped open,

'Is he serious?'

'Is he fucking stupid or something?! At his chakra level and with his eyes spying on us in a tree?! The curse seal must make you retarded in the head or something! I mean really! Who wouldn't see that?!'

'If he gets himself caught it is not our fault.'

'Seriously! Shannaro! It'll be his own damn fault too! I know! Glare at him and then ignore him! It'll piss him off!'

'Heh, I like how you think Inner.'

'Duh, it's exactly how you do.'

Sakura mentally rolled her eyes at Inner Sakura and then shooting the most deadly glare she could manage at Sasuke she held back the urge to laugh as she practically saw his eyebrow raise in question. With another glare and a small sniff in disdain, Sakura spun around on the seat and rested her arms on the counter to await her ramen. Sakura allowed herself a small smirk of amusement as Inner Sakura rolled around on the ground, laughing, at Sasuke's reaction to her glare.

Normally it wouldn't have amused Sakura this much to simply glare at Sasuke, but she wanted revenge for his actions last night and the best way she could think of was to screw with him.

-10 days later or so. Whatever, its later, deal with it. I'm not a genius I can't decide how long it's been!-

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Knowing full well that Sasuke was watching her every move from now on, Sakura enjoyed herself, looking the epitome of happiness, smiling at Ayame and her father whenever she was at Ichiraku, and laughing with fellow ninja.

Before long she was alone, Sakura knew Sasuke wouldn't stick around longer then the week he promised, but a little part of her hoped. Deciding she needed to beat her depression she heading for the hospital. Stopping momentarily Sakura's face lit up with a serene smile and she turned to her left heading to Ino's flower shop,

'What the crap are you doing Sakura?'

'Visiting the hospital. Just because I'm not allowed to be a medic-nin doesn't mean I should shun my patients. So I'm going to get some flowers from Ino's shop and make some friendly visits.'

'You are too good for your own good.'

'I know, but you are too rude. We balance out.'

'I'm not rude! I'm just awesome!'

'Of course, Inner.'

Sakura arrived at the flower shop and bought a small bouquet from a red-haired girl Sakura had never met before. Sakura waved a good bye to the young girl and once again made her way back to the hospital.

Sakura hummed a light tune as she entered the large drive of the hospital. About halfway from the gate and the entrance something was slammed into her left side. Sakura swore loudly and angrily as she was sent shooting off into the air and landed with the large object on top of her.

Not a moment later a loud explosion was heard and covering her face quickly, she and the object were showered with small debris and a cloud of dirt. Another explosion was heard a distance off. Sakura opened her eyes and saw crimson red staring back at her,

"Sasuke-kun?! What the hell are you doing here? What's going on?" The red faded from his eyes and he looked over his shoulder and then back at her,

"You are being attacked. Don't die." Sakura froze as he quickly pressed his lips to hers and then he was gone.

Sakura stood up the flowers forgotten as the terrified screams of villagers met her ears and looking where she had been standing about 40 feet way there was now a shallow 5-foot wide smoldering crater. There were several more explosions and gasping Sakura whipped around to see her village covered in smoke,

"Oh my god… WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!" Sakura never got a reply as another explosion happened and she streaked off to the center of town where the main ruckus seemed to be happening.
