"Thinking. . ."

"Inner Sakura. . ."

Recap: . . . I grimaced slightly at the thought of my recent training. Looking over at Ino from the corner of my eyes I asked, "What's been going on with you since I left?"

Her eyes bulged and she said, "W-well I've been ok. Nothing bad has happened since. . ." She trailed off.

"Since the Chunin Exams." I finished for her. She put her head down and nodded.

"What is wrong with her?!" I yelled inside my head. "Maybe she ran into Dante on her way to get you for this oh so lovely outing." My inner self mused. I snorted and shook my head.

I looked over at her again to ask another question when I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Hey Sakura long time no see. . ."

My whole body went cold. I sat still for a long time before turning to see his face. And when I saw it I was surprised. There he was, exactly as I remembered him, maybe a little taller, but the same.


"Hey Sasuke. . ." I said in a monotone to hide my shock. What was he doing back in the village? He was a traitor. He should have been banished. . . What was going on here?!


"So Sakura," Sasuke said, "Why are you back in the village? Come to beg me to love you again?" He said and smirked.


"Oh my god, the nerve! Ugh!" "We should kill him. . . You know we can. . . " "I don't want to get into trouble. Dante would be mad. She might kill me." "Well, whatever. You know he deserves it." "That may be true but. . . I don't know, maybe we could kill him."

I grinned at the last thought. It would be easy. He probably still thinks of me as a weak sniveling child. I could leap up and. . .


My thoughts were cut off by Sasuke saying something else, though I'm not sure what. When I looked back at him his arm was around Ino and she was blushing. Obviously they were a couple.


I stood and said, "Well, I'm so happy for the two of you, but if you'll excuse me I've got to go see a man about a horse."

Alright, so after the whole Sasuke incident I walked away and just wandered around town. I ended up in my old neighborhood. So I'm standing here, just looking around.


It amazes me that, even with me gone, this place can look the same. It's as though nothing ever happened. And maybe nothing has.
