Hikarru: I'm actually really liking this series.

Sasuke: That's because I'm now in it.

Hikarru: Shut up, arrogant Teme.

Sasuke: :P

Hikarru: Do the disclaimer already.

Sasuke: Hikarru doesn't own anything pertaining to Naruto.

Hikarru: That's right! And btw, please vote in my profile poll. Thank you!

Sasuke: As I said, Ali is going to win. She's awesome.

Ali: :DDD

Hikarru: Me and Gaby-Tan are also awesome.

Gaby: YEAH!

Ali: But not as much as me.

Gaby: T^T

Hikarru: Ali-Kun! You are so mean.

Ali: I try.

Sasuke: Can you start the chapter already so I can come in?

Hikarru: Fine, fine! Enjoy the chapter!

It has been a week since Sasuke had texted me and said that he was moving back. Today was the official day that he was moving back. I rounded up all of my friends, which weren't many, and we headed over to his old house to wait for him.

"Are you excited, Sakura?" Naruto asked me.

"I am." I said, "I haven't seen him in forever. Aren't you excited?"

"I guess." Naruto said.

I frowned at that. They were the best of friends. They were as close as Sasuke and I were. So, I didn't believe him when he said "I guess." I knew he was as excited as I was.

"Are you excited, Hinata?" Naruto asked.

"Y-yes." Hinata answered.

"What about you, Kiba?" Naruto turned to him.

"Not really." Kiba frowned.

"Why are the girls excited for him?" Naruto exclaimed, "He isn't even here and he is already stealing the girls!"

We all laughed at that.

"Naruto." I gave him a playful punch to the arm, "Calm down, ok? No one here wants him THAT badly."

Kiba gave a sigh of relief. I smiled, I knew he was nervous that Sasuke and I would like each other as much as we did back then, however, that was the past.

Trouble soon showed up though. Ino and Temari walked up the path.

"Damn." I said, "Why are they here?"

Ino walked straight up to me and said, "Sakura. I didn't think I would see you here. I guess that's what whores do. They wait for a good-"

"Ino." Temari said, "Let's just go already."

Everyone was surprised at this. I gave Temari a surprised look, she just gave me a frightened look and took a few more steps away from me. It couldn't be… Was she… afraid of me?

"Temari." Ino growled, "Stop being such a scared-y cat. Sakura is NOT going to say anything like that again. Trust me."

Temari still trembled. I felt sorry for poor Temari. Ino must have been the one scaring her.

"Ino." I got up, "You need to leave Temari alone. If she doesn't want to be here, then she doesn't have to be here."

Temari nodded at me in appreciation, "Thank you, Sakura."

Ino turned around and slapped Temari across the face, "Don't you thank her! She doesn't deserve ANYTHING!"

I grabbed Ino's arm to prevent her from slapping Temari again, "You need to calm down."

Ino whirled around and pushed me to the ground. My friends got up to defend me, but I pushed them back down and got up myself, "I got this."

"Ino, you are manipulating the people around you." I said, "You are the biggest bitch I have EVER known and you need to step down off of your throne that you claim to be on."

Ino growled, "Sakura, you are a whore and the only reason you still have friends is because they are too stupid to notice the REAL you."

Suddenly, Hinata jumped up and punched Ino right across the face. Ino gasped and fell to the ground. Temari gasped and gave Hinata a surprised look.

"Ino, we are tired of your BS." Hinata said, "And YOU are the one too stupid to notice the real Sakura. She is smart, funny, nice, and she is the only person here who can actually not take the hint that you are just jealous of her."

"Jealous?" I asked, Hinata must have been right. I didn't take any hint if Ino was really jealous of me.

"Why in the heck would I be jealous of HER?" Ino asked.

"Because she has friends that actually CARE about her." Hinata said, "And she has a boyfriend who loves her very much. You just want to bring her down when all you are doing is bringing yourself down."

Everyone, especially Ino, was speechless. I took this moment to extend my hand to Temari.

"Temari, I still consider you my friend." I said, "If you want, you can come back."

Temari looked down at Ino, who glared at her, then she reached for my hand.

"If you take her hand, then Shikamaru will never be yours." Ino warned.

Temari quickly retracted her hand. She began to cry.

"Ino! Stop this!" I shouted.

Ino got up, "No way! Temari likes Shikamaru so much that she would so ANYTHING to get him."

Temari looked away sadly.

"Oh really?" said a voice behind them.

We all looked to see Shikamaru standing behind Temari and Ino.

"Shikamaru!" Temari gasped, "Why are you here?"

"Kiba texted me and told me that you two were causing trouble." Shikamaru said, "Temari, is that true?"

"Yes." Temari said.

"Eh?" I said, "Temari! You weren't the one causing trouble! It was all Ino!"

"So?" Temari said, "I am responsible for her actions too, aren't I?"

Shikamaru smiled and walked up to her, "Temari, Ino isn't always right, you know."

Temari nodded, "I know."

Shikamaru kissed her on the forehead, "Then why not become friends with Sakura again? It will probably be good for you."

Temari blushed, "Yeah, it would." She turned around and put her hand in mine, "You're not mad at me, are you?"

"No way!" I exclaimed, "I could never be mad at you, Temari!"

Temari smiled, "Thanks!" She then took Shikamaru's arm and asked, "Can we go somewhere, away from this place?"

"I guess. It was getting troublesome anyways." Shikamaru waved as he and Temari walked off.

Ino got up, "Temari! Wait!"

"No, Ino." I said, "You can't get to Temari anymore. She is in a better place, with us."

"This isn't over yet, Sakura." Ino stomped off.

Hinata and I sat back down, proud of ourselves.

"Hinata! That was so awesome!" Naruto embraced her.

Hinata blushed, "T-thank you, N-Naruto."

"Kiba, turn on your ipod." I said.

He did just that, and with his ipod on speaker mode, we all got to listen to it. The song "Separate Ways" by Journey came on.

"Someday love will find you.
Break those chains that bind you.
One night will remind you,
How we touched
And went our separate ways.
If he ever hurts you,
True love won't desert you.
You know I still love you,
Though we touched
And went our separate ways"

We all laughed and talked, listening to the song. That's when we saw the car drive up into the driveway and saw Sasuke smile at us from the window.

Hikarru: I DO NOT OWN JOURNEY OR THE SONG! You showed up at the end Teme! Ha ha!

Sasuke: You did it on purpose!

Hikarru: Nooo…-smirk-

Sasuke: LIES!

Hikarru: Oh stop it. You were being mean.

Sasuke: T^T

Hikarru: Whatever. Anyway, I do not own Journey! Please vote in my poll! Mata ne, Mina-San!
