Right before the time

Disclaimer:

Haku: When I was alive, Zabuza owned me. I don't even know who k9puppyg is.

Me: And Masashi Kishimoto owns Zabuza!

Haku:Wha-what?

Me: On with the story!

Sakura's House

Sakura was currently jumping around. Why she was jumping around you ask? Well that's easy to answer…just look at what's she jumping around on. A DDR MAT? Yes, a DDR mat. Tenten was also jumping around…yes, on a DDR mat. It turns out that they were facing each other in a DDR tournament. What happened to Ino and Hinata you ask? They were watching of course! Now I bet your wondering why they are playing DDR. Or Dance Dance Revolution for you who don't know what DDR stands for. Well they are practicing, and this is the most efficient and cheapest way they could think of. Besides it was pretty fun. Also they could practice their singing with the karaoke machine! The song ended and they both got the exact same score…again. That's why Sakura and Tenten kept facing each other, so they could move on. But of course they were too evenly matched. They'll figure that out eventually…Well anyways Hinata decided that while they were facing off that she would practice with Ino.

Meanwhile at Tsunade's Office

"Oh…so you're coming back?" Shizune was on the phone answering the Hokage's call. It turns out the actors for the show decided to come back.

"But we already got replacements…"

"Oh, well we'll work around that then miss…"

"Well, okay what do I tell Tsunade then?"

"Miss, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Well, okay. I'll tell the Genins personally,"

"If it will please you miss."

"Stop calling me miss! My name's Shizune!" With that she slammed the phone down.

"Shizune-san, who was that?" She heard Tsunade yelling from the other room.

'Uh-oh. I need to think of something quick!' "Um…That's was my..err…boyfriend! I-Iruka!"

"…"

'Uh-oh.'

"YOUR BOYFRIEND! Why didn't you tell me Iruka was your boyfriend!" At this point everyone that was currently inside of the Hokage tower heard her practically scream this…actually she did, which was not good for Shizune because Konoah was good at spreading gossip. You might as well call it Konogossipay! But the part she messed up on was using Iruka as the excuse. Would he play along? At least until Tsunade figures out that the actors have been rehired. What has Shizune gotten herself in? Who knows…

Again at Sakura's House

"Whoo! Yeah! I win!" Victory signed Tenten. When an ANBU squad member kidnapped all four of them and in a flash they were in Tsunade's office. As well as the other ninjas that were there…hmm about 30 minutes ago. Shikamaru was the first to speak.

"Uh…why have you summoned us Shizune-san?"

"Isummonedyouherebecausetheactorscalledanddecidedthattheywouldtaketheirjobsbackbecausetheyfeltguiltythattsunadewasleftwithnoentertainmentandsoyoudonthavetoactanymorebutdonttell Tsunade-sama!" Then she did a jutsu and they were all outside of the hokage towers…again.

"So…anyone know what she said?" asked a very confused Naruto. He got a shake of heads and a few "nope's" for an answer. "Neh, whatever." Hinata could've sworn he glanced at her for a second before walking off hands behind his head.

'Now's my chance!' she thought. This time she ran towards Naruto. "Naru-AH!" This time it was Tenten that pulled her back.

"Hinata? Who's Naruah?"

"No one." She replied once again looking at his retreating form. 'How Ironic.' She thought.

"Well anyways. It's time for me to beat you in DDR!" Tenten screeched before this time she was pulled back. It was Sakura.

"Tch, you wouldn't have won if not by one point!"

Hmm…She wished that it was Sakura. It was actually Neji. Which... she dreaded to speak to for a while.

"Oh, uh…hey Neji…" Tenten offered.

Neji noticed her gang of girls were watching, as if they wanted to know what he wanted. So he did the simplest thing.

"Uh..I see that you're better Tenten…well see you later teammate!" then he ran off.

Hinata spoke up," Well I've never seen N-neji act that…way before."

"Yeah, I think you've got him under your leash Ten-ten-chan." Piped in Ino.

"Stop doing that! The only reason he's doing that is because I've become too girly…Because of you!" She pointed an accusing finger at Ino.

"Me?" Ino asked in the sweetest voice she could muster up.

"Yeah! You!", Still pointing at Ino.

"Well, excuse me for not being a tomboy!"

"So? Hinata and Sakura aren't tomboys and they don't force me into…girly girl stuff!"

"GASP You take that back you meatball bun head!"

"Never!"

"GRUAAAHH!" Ino was about to chase Tenten. Tenten was about to run if it had not been for Hinata asking a very interesting question.

"Hey, where's Sakura?" They looked around and indeed Sakura was nowhere to be found.

"I wonder…" Tenten started. They all thought the same thing and headed off. Where was Sakura? I know! But I'm not telling you! At least not yet…

Later at Sakura's House

Ino was slightly annoyed but she shook it off as they continued to practice.

"W-well I believe we've, you know practiced long enough I say were good to go…"

"Okay Hinata!" Replied Ino. Sakura led them to the door.

"Okay guys. Remember where to meet okay! 8:30 p.m. sharp!" Sakura commanded.

"Yes ma'm!" They all saluted.

"Good…you are dismissed soldiers!" With that the soldiers turned the ways towards their respective compounds. When they were out of eye-sight. Sakura closed the door and ran to her room. She was so happy that she was dancing around the room while packing her formal clothes, normal clothes, kunai pouch more ninja stuff and she put on her costume…which was a dress fit for a queen. As she was reminiscing on what happened earlier.

Flashback! (whoo!)

"Hey, Sakura! Come Here!"

"Hm? Sasuke?"

"Yeah…" Sakura looked over at her 2 bickering friends one last time before jumping into the bush he was currently hiding in. Why was he hiding in a bush? Who knows? He led her to a very familiar place.

"What's up Sasuke-kun?" She asked as she sat on the bench that was conveniently located right…there.

"Hey, Sakura…You know why I came back…right?"( I know what you're all thinking! This is my story! I can add a rather…different, demeanor if I want so deal…nya.)

"Yeah Sasuke…you killed your brother."

"Well, I was thinking…recently-"

"Sasuke, I know what you want to say…I was right. You were wrong. Now that you've killed your brother off. Your even more alone than you were before you killed him."

"Can I show you something?" Sakura nodded," Don't get scared…"

"Tch, I'm a Kunoichi. I live on the brink of death. You're telling me not to get scared…"

"Okay…" Sasuke replied. He activated his Sharingan.

"Sasuke…You have the Mangekyo Sharingan…"

"Yeah…" He deactivated it.

"But I heard you could only get it if you kill your best friend…Oh my! YOU KILLED NARUTO! Wait, wait, wait, I just saw Naruto…But how did you get it?"

"Itachi was my best friend…Before he killed the clan."

"Oh...But you know Sasuke…You don't have to be the only Uchiha. You don't have to be alone." She was walking away when he called her name. "Hm?" Questionably she turned around.

"Thanks." Then that day flashed back to her the day he left Konoha to go with Orochimaru. It was the exact same spot! (OMG!) In reply she flashed another one of her smiles…no this time it wasn't fake.

"Your welcome…" Then they parted. When Sasuke was out of ear-shot and eye-sight, Ino, Tenten, and Hinata came out of hiding to catch up to Sakura.

"SAKURA!" She turned around. Ino started,

"Wow! You melted the iceblock! ...I'm glad I gave up on him. You deserve him Sakura…"

"Aww, thanks Ino-chan!" Then she embraced her friend in a hug. Then she added under her breath.

"Besides he wouldn't give the time of day to anyone else…"

"What was that Ino?"

"Nothing." But the only thing that bothered her was the fact that she could get one of the hardest guys to get in the whole village and Shikamaru wasn't even as close to her as Sakura and Sasuke! 'I've known Shikamaru all my life!' This led to why Ino was slightly annoyed…

End Flashback!

By the time Sakura was done thinking about her time with Sasuke she was ready and already heading to the spot where they were supposed to meet.
