Nami's POV
I kept running in the direction of Tsunade's office I was soon there. I tried to calm myself before I entered. When I did I was about to reach for the door when door knob jiggled and opened and out came Sakura looking worried. I said "Sakura are you okay? Why are you sad?"
Sakura looked up happily to see me she ran to me and hugged me "Nami where were you I was getting worried." I hugged her back "Tsunade is waiting for you she is a little pissed since you didn't show up on time."
I said feeling bad for making her worry "I know I didn't mean to its just that……"
I never got to finish my sentence since Tsunade herself came out yelling "Where is she Sakura?" then took a look at me "Are you Nami?" I little less angrier than before.
I said calmly unlike her "Yes I'm sorry I made you wait so long its that I got held up doing something."
She waived for me to come into the office Sakura whispered in my ear "Good luck and see you later."
We parted ways she went to stairs to get down to the exit. I followed Tsunade into the office. "Sit down we still have quite a bit to talk about."
"Yes Tsunade-sama we do. So where should we begin?" I said trying to get right down to business so I could meet Sakura for dinner its to late for lunch now.
"How about why were you late? And why did you decide to come back?" she asked in a caring voice like she new what happened but wanted to hear it from me. At least she isn't angry anymore.
"Well you see I was walking around the Uchiha estate. You probably already know that I was also own of the very few that survived the massacre." she nodded in comprehension so I continued "While I was walking I saw…" I paused for a moment remember what happened I sighed and continued "I saw Sasuke. I was so in shock of find out that he was alive that I fainted and when I finally woke up it was late and I came running here." I continued to ramble on trying to explain why I was late "I really did intend to come in early." I thought she didn't need to
know all the gory details that happened between me and Sasuke. I kept my head down in embarrassment.
Tsunade nodded in approval "You didn't know Sasuke survived the massacre too?"
I sighed "No I didn't and neither did he." I felt sad just thinking about it I asked aloud "why didn't they tell us?"
Tsunade gave a sympathetic look knowing that it must be hard to find out that someone you thought was dead for so many years pops out alive. Hell even she was shocked to find out that there was another survivor to the Uchiha massacre. "I don't know anything about that the third was still in charge when that happened and there weren't any good records that I could find to give you a good answer for why they did what they did. There's nothing that I could tell you that would possible make it better. I'm sorry."
"hmmm. It's not your fault; but you know it would have been nice if we had someone to bare the grief with." after having this personal conversation Tsunade and I got to work on the paper work on the 'Mission to Sona' I had typed and where going to discus.

Naruto's POV
'Ohh man I'm so excited to see that girl what did Sakura say was her name again Nana no, Nani no, Nami!! Yeah that was it. This is the first time I'm actually excited to see a girl that wasn't Sakura. I hope she isn't like Tamari she still scares me shivered now that's one mean and scary girl. I wonder how Shikamaru can stand being with her; then again they do say love is blind. Anyway what I hear from Sakura is she seams to be just like Hinata. But with out the stutter which Hinata doesn't seam to do anymore and outgoing which Hinata is still working on she still a very timid person but not as much ever since she started to date her now fiancé. Anyway moving on what am I going to wear?'
After 15 minutes of looking through piles of clothes. I finally decided to put some black baggy cargo pants, and a red shirt with black letters saying 'DON'T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME', black and red Ecko shoes, and a black jacket to top it all off. Now to take a shower, have to smell good for the ladies. (A/N: I making it so they do have normal cloths so plz bear with me)

Sakura's POV
I'm glad that Nami is alright. I hope she's not in to much trouble with Tsunade. I should go home and write Kankuro back he's probably waiting for my reply.
I sighed the streets of Konoha were packed right know I guess its rush hour already. How could I
have loved to hang out in such a crowded and cramped place during rush hour? Really what was I thinking when I was twelve. I shook my head and kept walking.
Out of the side of my eye I saw a familiar face it was Hinata she seems sad but why? What did he do now? I thought. I walked over to a very gloomy and depressed Hinata "Hi Hinata what are you doing? I thought you would have been at home preparing for the wedding rehearsal tomorrow?"
She shyly made a small smile "Hi Sakura-san. Mmm… the reason why is because when I went to get Sasuke (A/N: don, don, don you finally find out who Sasuke is marring. I thought it was a little obvious though.) for the rehearsal I … I" she started to break down crying.
I sat down next to her and stated to pat her back and trying to comfort her "What happened? What did Sasuke do?" I was pissed that Sasuke would do something to hurt Hinata and when it was getting near their wedding day too.
Hinata started to calm down and continued where she left off "I saw this other women come running out of his house." she started to brake down crying again but continued "Her hair was a mess and her cloths were a little askew" the last part I almost didn't hear since she hiccupped while she said it.
I said shocked beyond belief because it seemed obvious that Sasuke and Hinata loved each other "Hinata maybe its not what it seems." she gave me a hopeful stare "The reason why I'm saying this is because once Kankuro thought that I was cheating on him with some guy that just randomly started to hit on and then groped me. Kankuro came in when I was groped and left in a angry frenzy I punched the guy that hit on me he went flying out of the bar and just happened to land right on Kankuro's feet. I ran after him and Tamari also realizing what just happened came too. I told him what really happened and Tamari who usually doesn't agree with anyone and speaks her mind told him that I was telling the truth. See Hinata it might just be a big miss understanding."
She smiled a true smile and gave me a hug "Thank you Sakura. I'll ask him what happened to get to the bottom of this."
I asked Hinata knowing her to well "Would you like me…"
I never got to finish since Ino came and interrupted/ butted into our conversation. "Hi Hinata, Sakura. What are you talking about?"
"Hello Ino." Hinata said to her best friend.
"Hey Ino." I told my rival even though we are both now not interested in Sasuke we still have our competitions between each other. I looked at Hinata "I'm sorry Hinata but I have to go I have a couple of things I need to do. I'll leave you in Ino's hands she can help you." and gave her a bright smile I said goodbye to them and left to go home.
When I got there it was 3:30 Ohh man I need to hurry up. I quickly went to my desk and wrote back to Kankuro. I told him how much I miss him and that I'm glad that Nami is back in Konoha and that it would be a big break for her so she could mend her broken heart from that asshole. I also mentioned that he and I were invited to Hinata's and Sasuke's weeding; which was announced just three days ago. I put the letter in a envelope and attached it to a messenger bird with a string and let it fly out the window and to its new destination Kankuro's head I love pulling that prank on him.
I quickly picked out a cream colored strapless dress that went up at least 4 inches higher than my knee and some brown sandals that were open in the back and covered my toes. I got them as a gift from Kankuro. I took a quick shower and got dressed I looked at the clock it read 4:25. alright I did it. Ohh no wait I forgot my make up. I neatly put some light brown mascara, tan colored lip gloss and eye shadow. I did all of this with caution and I took my time if I rushed it I would have to redo it a million times.
I was finally 4:30 when I finished putting on the make-up and ran out of my apartment I wasn't living with my parents anymore not since I turned 18 three months ago. I took my keys ran out the door and locked it. I seriously didn't want to run in a dress so I just took a shortcut to the Ramen bar and found Naruto and Sasuke waiting for us. Wait why is Sasuke here?
I started to walked over to them Naruto like always causing a commotion and becoming the center of attention by yelling out "Hi Sakura were over here."
"I already know you idiot. I can see you from all the way over here your hard to miss." when I got to where they were, I sat down "Hi Sasuke. I don't want to be rode but why are you here?"
He was dressed in blue semi baggy jeans, a black T-shirt and black vans with skulls on them "I came here to help Naruto out on his date with your friend." he said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world sometimes I want to hit for being so arrogant.
"Who said it was a date I just said I would introduce her to Naruto and then if Naruto or Nami want to go out with each other they can I'm not going to force her into a relationship." while I was saying this Sasuke's eyes widened with shock. It's rare to see the Uchiha in a state of alarm.

Sasuke's POV
I started to get ready around 3:30 I was dressed in blue semi baggy jeans, a black T-shirt and black vans with skulls on them. Around 4:15 I left to go pick Naruto up and to my satisfaction he was actually ready. We got to the Ramen bar around 4:30. I didn't realize that Naruto lived so close to the Ramen bar 'he probably did it on purpose to be near his precious ramen.'
We sat down and Naruto started to blab on and on about how excited he was and that Sakura actually did him the favor of introducing him to one of her best-friends that was coming back today from a six year mission. In the most horrible place Sona it was hot, sticky, I get burned and
did I mention it was hot, sticky and I get burned.
Soon after Sakura came and like always Naruto caused a big commotion by yelling out "Hi Sakura were over here."
I told him irritated that he screamed in my ear "Idiot I think she saw us already."
"I already know you idiot. I can see you from all the way over here your hard to miss." she yelled back at him 'I swear there both a like' she then turned her attention to me "Hi Sasuke. I don't want to be rode but why are you here?"
"I came here to help Naruto out on his date with your friend." I said it like I usually would have in a isn't it the most obvious thing in the world kind of voice I knew it annoyed the hell out of her. She looked a little annoyed but let it go 'probably because she still has a thing for me.'
-:- Flashback -:-
Sakura ogling Sasuke with hearts appearing over her head sighing and saying "Sasuke is sooo cooool and so very cute." and Ino appeared they started to argue. Soon a horde of 'I Love Sasuke Club' members appeared and all started to compete for his attention and affection. In the background was a very frightened Sasuke running for his life and behind him the massive amount of Sasuke lovers came behind him like deranged lunatics. All shouting one thing "WE LOVE YOU SASUKE.". Sakura and Ino were leading the pack of nutcases that still didn't understand that Sasuke will never love them much less want to come near them because of there twisted behavior towards him.
-:- End of Flashback -:-
Sasuke shivered unconsciously damn those memories still give me the shivers. But I shock it off almost instantly.
Sakura interrupted my train of thought "Who said it was a date I just said I would introduce her to Naruto and then if Naruto or Nami want to go out with each other they can I'm not going to force her into a relationship."
'Wait a minute did she say Nami is going to go on mini date with Naruto. Did I hear right no not my Nami she disserves someone that is more intelligent than Naruto. Sakura couldn't come up with a more appropriate candidate. I have to stay calm think a happy place think your beautiful fiancé Hinata there see your calm now'

Nami's POV
I got out of the office around 4:30 and went to the apartment that I had rented and got settled in earlier. I took a quick shower and put on some green camouflage pants, brown and green shoes,
brown tank top, black fishnet on my right hand, and some random bracelets on my left. I also put some black mascara and eyeliner, brown eye shadow, hot pink lip gloss. I quickly checked my watch it read 5:00 OMG I cant believe I actually finished so fast (A/N: This is also my record for taking a shower, getting dressed and putting make up on. I amazed myself that I actually finished that fast. I don't think I have ever broken it again or for that matter ever done it again.) I have to get there now. I got my keys and ran out the door and locked the door behind me.
There were a lot of people crowding the street so I used my fast speed to get to the Ramen bar. I saw Sakura's bright pink hair she was sitting with a blonde, blue-eyed boy my head screamed 'hotty' but my heart said 'it's too soon to try and find love again'. I then saw that someone else was with them across the table there sat Sasuke. I went toward them Sasuke saw me first since he was facing me.
