I sat on the edge of my chair, right hand on his forehead, left hand holding his. We had gotten back to Konoha late the night before. Amazingly, Sasuke-kun had been taken care of immediately, no questions asked. It was almost like they had been waiting for him.

"Heh, he's on lucky bastard, eh?"

I smiled at Naruto-kun as he took a seat next to me. "Yeah, he is. Um, have you talked to Tsunade-sama about the mission?"

"Uh, yeah. It's really terrible. Um, Shizune-sama had gone to a neighboring village to help at the hospital. Apparently, she left in a hurry and left a note among the many papers on the Old Lady's desk and she didn't find it. Shizune got back yesterday morning."

"Seriously? Damn it! Someone got killed because of that…" I sighed, closing my eyes in frustration.

"But," Naruto-kun gave a little laugh, "we did get something great because of that." He stopped for a moment before whispering, "I'm sorry."

I looked up at him, noticing how his face had darkened. "For what?"

"I… I said that I would… I would bring him back. He wasn't supposed to come back like that."

I placed a hand one Naruto-kun's shoulder, letting go of Sasuke's hand. "I know. I had it all planned out. You did, too, right?"

Naruto sighed and nodded. "Yeah. It was a lot than how he did come back."

"Mhmm. Actually, the way I had imagined it was that after he came back we'd just wake up from some awful dream. It had never really happened."

"I wish." He placed his hands behind his head. "Kakashi-sensei should be here soon."

"We'll all be together again." I paused, remembering Sasuke's unconscious state. "Kind of."

I stood up to look out the window as Kakashi-sensei stepped in. "Hullo, kids."

I nodded at him, still mad that he had been so mean the other day. Light filtered through the small glass pane as I pushed back the faded green curtains.

"Mmm... turn the lights… off."

"Sasuke-kun!" I whipped around to give him a hug but stopped when my eyes met Naruto-kun holding him tightly.

"U-um…"

"Oh, hehe, sorry." Naruto stepped away from him, a light blush covering his cheeks, hands behind his head.

I stood in front of Sasuke-kun, head hanging. I didn't know what to do now that he was really back. This definitely wasn't part of my plan.

"Sakura… I-,"

"Just shut up." The look on his face was hilarious. He'd never been told to shut up unless the words came from Naruto-kun.

I leaned down and gave him a kiss on the forehead at which he blushed. I gave him a loose hug and buried my face in his shoulder, taking in his familiar scent. He stayed stiff, like I had expected.

I let go of him when I heard Kakashi-sensei clear his throat. I sat on one edge of his bed like the other two had done and placed my hand on top of his.

"So, we're back in business again? We're Team 7 again?" Naruto-kun's eyes were wide. He was afraid to know the answer because he had almost forgotten what being Team 7 was like, just as I had.

"We're Team 7 again." I nodded and sighed. "God, I missed that."

Kakashi-sensei had his nose buried in one of his books, his visible eye twinkling. Naruto-kun was out the small window, his face completely blank. He was still worried about what was to come. Sasuke-kun was counting the holes in the ceiling tiles, seemingly bored. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned and if you knew him well enough you knew that that was the biggest smile he would ever give you. I was looking around at the three, glad that all of us were together again. Of course, I was still worried about the things that would be different but I wasn't going to let that get to me now.

I still planned to yell at Sasuke-kun but I would to re-think what I was going to say so it would have to wait. I still planned on being mad at him for a while after the yelling but that could wait, too. And I planned on blocking out those last couple of months and replace those memories with much happier ones.

"You know we'll kill you if you try to leave again, right?" I also planned on being prepared to do that.

Sasuke-kun gave a slight nod and whispered, "Good."

I laughed, stood up, and spun around as if I were a small kid on the playground again. They all looked at me like I was crazy but I didn't. I didn't care. I didn't care!

Everything was going right at that exact moment so it was okay to let go for a second. I didn't need to care or worry about anything right then. From now, everything was going to be great. Hopefully.
