HI! Yes, I am really hyper at the moment. This is sorta going to be short, and it's mostly on Sakura this time. Next, you kind find out more about Sasukeru and the new OC. Please enjoy, I guess. Oh, and Pendragon Memory is updated! Yeah!

Chapter 5

Thinking

'What the heck just happened back there?' asked Sakura to herself, as she walked through the trees. Inner Sakura was going just a bit crazy inside her head.

'WHAT! Why are the sand ninja here! And I can't believe that I've never noticed how cute Kankuro is! Even cuter than Sasukeru!'

While Sakura was thinking and walking at the same time (sadly doing more thinking) she ran into a tree. And that tree was the one that Naruto and Sasuke were hiding in.

"Owww!" yelled Sakura.

And at the moment that she hit the tree, Naruto fell out. "Hi Sakura!" he yelled. "I'm glad you're all right!"

"Hi Naruto." Sakura said.

"Hey Sakura, aren't you still ma-hey!" Naruto cried as Sasuke jumped down and stuck his hand over Naruto's mouth.

"Don't remind Sakura!" he whispered into Naruto's ear. "Yo." he replied calmly to Sakura.

"What are you two doing here?" asked Sakura.

"We were in the neighborhood, and we saw you and the sand ninja talking. Mind you, we couldn't hear them talking." Sasuke explained.

"Yeah, but I think Sasuke was just worried about you." Naruto whispered in Sakura's ear.

"No you dobe." said Sasuke, hitting Naruto on the head. "It just seemed strange that the sand ninja would come back so soon. I wanted to see what they were up to. But Sakura was already found. I didn't want to get too close and blow our cover."

"Says you lover boy." mumbled Naruto.

"Shut up Naruto." Sasuke said, hitting him on the head again.

"Grrrrrr……."

"So, what happened anyway?" asked Sasuke.

"Well, I just heard Gaara asking his team if they knew a plan. That's all." Sakura said.

"It still may be of some use. Naruto and I shall tell the Hokage." replied Sasuke. "Come on dobe."

"I AM NOT A DOBE!" yelled Naruto as he ran after Sasuke.

'Boys are so weird.' Sakura thought, walking toward her apartment.

When Sakura got home, she thought a lot about what had happened. It felt like it took place so long ago, but it had been only an hour.

Then there was a nock on her door. She opened the door and found a piece of paper that said 'Meet in the ally behind your apartment at 8:00.'

'I wonder who sent this.' she thought to herself. Sakura looked at her clock. It was seven-thirty. She had just enough time to get ready.

Sakura walked into the ally at exactly eight. She saw something move behind a dumpster. She jumped into her battle stance, but it was only a cat.

'Why am I so tense?' she asked herself. Only having seconds to ponder the thought, she heard a voice.

"So, you actually came."

Another cliff hanger! Do you all hate me for the cliff hangers? I'm starting write like DJ MacHale, always ending with a cliff hanger. Anyway, thank you to Scientific Angel, Akahiko, and seguha for reviewing!
