Everyone walked into the house. It was silent. Gaara was the first to notice a note laying on the table. It read.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am terribly sorry that I didn't show up for breakfast! I had to take care of a few things. I'll be back by dinner.
-Akihiko

"I wonder what type of things." Shakaku said. "Me too." Gaara replied. Just then Temari said "I wonder why he didn't show up." Gaara passed her the note and left. "Oh." Temari said. Everyone read the note and understood. Except Naruto. Sakura went up to her room and sat down at the table. She pulled out a piece of paper and a pen.

Dear Tsunade,
I still haven't seen or heard my father yet. He's been away. I am very nervous and jumpy. I really don't feel like staying anymore. Some vacation huh? I just wanted to keep you updated on everything. Well see ya.
PS Thanks. (Note the sarcasm.)
-Sakura Haruno March.27th -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura got up and put the letter in an envelope. She walked down stairs to the front door. Gaara,Temari,Kankuro and Naruto were sitting on the couch. "Where are you going Haruno?" Gaara asked. She held up the letter not even bothering to look up. Gaara nodded and Sakura left. Naruto got up and followed her. "HEY SAKURA-CHAN! WAIT FOR ME!" he yelled like a maniac. "Sakura sighed and stopped. "Hey Naruto!" she smiled. Naruto beamed his very bright smile at her. Hey, can I read what you put in your letter?" Naruto asked. "No. Then I'd have to seal it again." she said. "Oh. Alright!" he smiled. "Man is this guy ever happy." inner Sakura was scared at his happiness. They both walked down the streets. Naruto was talking none stop about ramen didn't notice Sakura not listening to him. "Maybe I should work on facial expressions for when we meet him." inner Sakura said. She started to make faces. Sakura started to do the faces and everyone was looking at her. Naruto stopped and yelled "SAKURA-CHAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR FACE?" catching Sakura's attention. "What?" she asked. "You were making creepy faces." He said. "Oh." She blushed. "You stupid inner self! Stop making faces!"she yelled in her mind. "Fine fine" inner Sakura said.
They arrived at the post office. Sakura sent the letter. "Now what?" inner Sakura asked. "Dunno" She said. "Haruno Sakura right?" the man behind the counter said. "Yeah?" she replied. "A letter for you." he said sweetly. "Thanks" she said while opening it. "Who's it from?" Naruto asked. "Hold on Naruto." she said while pushing him away. It read.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sakura,
I knew that you'd be sending a letter to me. I am sorry that I didn't tell you sooner about your father. I knew you wouldn't have wanted to go if you knew thought. Don't worry. Gaara, Temari, Kankuro and Naruto will too. I'm sure that there's more to your letter but I'm not a future teller.
PS Happy birthday!

"Tomorrows my birthday?" Sakura said to herself. "Maybe I should check just in case." "Hey Naruto! Guess what tomorrow is!" She said to him. "It's your birthday tomorrow!" Naruto yelled excitingly at her. Sakura smiled. "Come on lets go." She said.
When they got home Sakura went upstairs. "Maybe if I go to sleep now it will be morning and I'll avoid him again!" she thought to herself. "Yeah! Let's go!" inner Sakura yelled.
