The Uchiha's
A/N: I don't own Naruto. Enjoy!!!
Reunion
"Ugh Sakura-chan. Why do we have to wait for Kakashi?" our favorite blonde shinobi soon-to-be-hokage said.
"I told you 30 seconds ago. We ALL have to meet Tsundae-shihsou at noon." Said a very irritated pink kunoichi.
"Yeah dickless. Don't get your granny panties in a bunch." The Sasuke-look-a-like Sai said. Naruto to busy thinking what Kakashi's excuse this time was going to be, didn't hear Sai's comment.
"Hey Ugly."
"What is it Sai?"
"It's almost noon. I think we should head out to the hokage tower. You of all should know how she is when we arrive late." Sakura then had a realization and flashback to the last time they were late to the hokage tower.
"Ok then! Lets go! Come on Naruto." Then three fourths of Team Seven started to head out to the hokage tower.
12:01 pm Hokage Tower
Knock knock
"COME IN!!" Tsunade said from behind her desk. In came Naruto, Sakura and Sai.
"YOUR LATE!!!" All three started to cringe towards the only exit in the office.
"We're sorry Tsunadae-shishou. We were waiting for Kakashi-sensei b-"
"Yo."
"SENSEI?!" Both Sakura and Naruto exclaimed at the same time at seeing their teacher in the office for once early.
"Yep. Tsundae told me to come at 7 knowing I would come around this time."
"Whatever. Anyway what did you want all of us here for Tsundae-sama?" asked Sai curiously.
"Well….." She started to trail off not knowing what to say until she remembered she had Sasuke and Itachi hide in her office to make a surprise entrance.
"FISH HEADS!!!" Tsundae said the code word for Itachi and Sasuke to come out of their hiding places and so they did. Out came Sasuke and Itachi, from the floor. 8 pairs well more like 6 pairs of eyes and 1 eye in Kakashi's place go wide eyed at the seen unfolded in front of them. Their lost team member from Team 7 was back and so was his brother, the one that murdered his own clan.
"Sasuke?" Naruto was the first to break the silence.
"Yeah Dobe?" At being called the old nickname Sasuke used to call him, Naruto grinned.
"Welcome back, teme?" At that both Naruto and Sasuke, surprisingly, walked towards each other and hugged. Then Kakashi came and joined.
"Welcome back Sasuke." Kakashi welcomed and ruffling Sasuke's hair. Sakura was still in shock at seeing her old childhood crush but shook her head and snapped out of it. She then grinned a half happy half sad smile towards Sasuke.
"Welcome Sasuke-kun." She welcomed but made no move towards him to welcome him. She just stood next to Sai. Not wanting him to feel left out.
"So that's Sasuke huh?" Sai whispered into Saukra's ear, which didn't go unnoticed by everyone in the room.
"Yeah it is." She whispered back sadly into Sai's ear. Noticing the sadness in her voice, Sai took her hand and led her out of the room before a tear could form and fall down her face. They left with no goodbye's except the the click of the door closing.
"She's not happy to see me is she?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"No I think she is. You know how emotionally women get wh-" THACK!
"ITE! That hurt Tsunade baa-chan!"
"GOOD! Now Naruto, the man standing next to Sasuke is his brother Itachi, Itachi that's Naruto."
"Hello Naruto-san."
"Hello Itachi-san."
"Welcome back Itachi."
"Its nice to be back."
"OK THEN!" Tsunadae began "Now for both of your punishments." Sasuke and Itachi both frowned at this even though they knew they were going to be punished.
"Itachi, when you left you were an ANBU captain. Am I right?"
"Hai."
"Well then, you are being demoted to chuunin level. You are now an equal level with all of the rookie nine excluding Shikamaru Nara. He is a Jounin. And of course Sasuke." Itachi nodded his head in understanding. He knew that he could pass the next Jounin exam easily knowing how it would be like.
"Now Sasuke, when you left you were a genin. Correct?" Sasuke nodded his head.
"You are being demoted and becoming an Academy student. But you will be placed into the graduating year. Understand?" Sasuke nodded.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA Sasuke's going to be an academy student again."
"Shut up dobe!"
"No way teme! You going to be a level below Konohamaru. HAHAHAHA aww man. It sucks to be you right now."
"SHUT UP DOBE!"
"MAKE ME TEME!"
"DOBE!"
"TEME!"
"DOBE!"
"TEME!" Kakashi, Tsundae and Itachi both shook their heads and smiled at the two best friends pretending like nothing ever happened in the past seven years.
"OKAY THEN!" Both Sasuke and Naruto stopped their little argument.
"You all are dismissed now. But before you go, Itachi Two things. One: I am putting you under probation. For now Kakashi will be watching you but other times either an ANBU or a Jounin will. Two: You will be place with Team Kakashi on missions and practices. Got it?" Itachi nodded. "Good. Now you all leave! I have work to do!" All four men then left the hokage's office.
With Sai and Saukra
Click
"Wait Sai, where are we going? Tsunadae's going to get upset at us." She started to wipe away her tears with her free hand.
"No she won't. She'll understand." They continued to walk until they were outside of Sai's apartment. He took out his key and opened the door. He let Sakura enter first and closed the door behind him. He motioned her to sit on the couch in the living. She abliged.
"Do you want anything to drink Sakura?"
"No thanks. Wow you didn't call me Ugly this time."
"Well it just doesn't seem like the time to call you that. Anyways what's up? Why are you crying?"
"It's just. After Sasuke left I stopped having feelings for him and when we found him at Orochimaru's hideout with you and Tenzou-sensei, they didn't come back and I thought I was finally over him. But now, seeing him in the office and knowing he's now here for good, I got them back and…..and….." She started to break down into tears. "and….now they're back. And stronger." Sai looked at her with a sorrowful face. He felt bad for her feeling this way. He then remembered reading something in one of his books on How to comfort a friend in need. He then pulled her into a hug. Sakura then started to cry into his chest. Hiccupping once in a while between sobs and wetting his shirt. They stayed like that for a long time. Sai was waiting for Sakura to calm down and stop crying but she never did. They then both fell asleep, Sakura in Sai's arms and Sai sitting back in the couch.
