She twitched when she heard a noise behind her, her hand moved silently to her kunai pouch. She wanted to call out but she thought it would do her no good.

There was a flash of blonde and something tried to tackle her into the wall, Sakura spun around and used her weight to shove the blonde to the ground at the same time she pressed a kunai against the blonde's throat.

"What the hell do you want Deida…" she paused and took a closer look at her prisoner, "Ino?" The blonde huffed angrily from beneath her. Sakura had straddled Ino's back.

"What are you crazy?" asked the blonde kunoichi from beneath Sakura's weight. Sakura shrugged. The two looked up at the figure standing in the alleyway that led to the house's front door.

Choji was holding food bags in his arms, "Sakura?" he questioned. "Choji?" replied Sakura, her eyes wide in wonder. Choji didn't look like a plump kid anymore; he was a tall muscled man now. No wonder Ino's marrying him; he's almost as good looking as Sasuke, but nowhere near as good looking as Itatchi.

"Um," said Choji, "Would you mind getting off my fiancé?" Sakura looked down at Ino, "Oh yeah, sorry."

She stood up and replaced the kunai, "You shouldn't have tried to sneak up on me." She said moving to lean against the wall. Ino huffed and crossed her arms, "I can still beat you up in a fair fight though." She said rather childishly.

Sakura raised an eyebrow, "Is that a challenge?" she asked, a dark aura surrounding the pink haired missing Nin, a sadistic smile spread across her lips. Ino sighed, "You really are crazy aren't you? Anyway I'm not fighting you until after the wedding because I don't want to spoil my face."

Sakura held in a laugh, her evil smirk melted into an emotionless facial expression that she was forced to learn for Akatsuki purposes. "So whom do I kill?" she asked.

Ino seemed slightly shocked by Sakura's sudden mutation into an emotionless kunai-happy girl. "Lets get inside first ok, Choji has to put the shopping away." Choji sighed inwardly at the fact that she only used his name and not both of their names, "Why can't you help me put the shopping away?" Ino smiled, "Because I'm gorgeous."

She walked ahead of him and into the living room, Sakura stepped after her, but the sight of a familiar bird stopped her in her tracks, "Ino," She called, "I'll speak with you later, I have business to attend to." She waved and leaped upwards, "Sakura-chan!" yelled Ino after her as Sakura landed on a rooftop, "Sorry, it's an emergency." Replied Sakura before she rushed off again.

Ino shielded her eyes from the glare of the moon and sighed as she watched Sakura's silhouette leap into the distance. "She's definitely crazy." She muttered before turning into the house and closing the door after, "Choji? Make me a sandwich!"

Naruto shoved another lot of Ramen into his mouth. He nearly spat it all out when he felt the rush of familiar chakra sweep passed the ramen shop. He swallowed the ramen in his mouth and left a coupon on the table as he rushed out of the ramen shop.

He saw a pink haired girl leap the Konoha gates and land on the ground in a crouching position before leaping into the trees. "Sakura?" he whispered before taking chase.

Sakura followed the white bird until it swooped into a clearing; she leaped to the ground in a primitive crouch. As she got to her feet she smiled at the woman holding the bird on her arm, the bird was made out of a thin white paper.

Its wings were rustling in the slight breeze. It was being stroked by a pale elegant hand, "Sakura-chan, it's been too long." Said a feminine voice fondly. The woman stroking the paper bird had soft blue-ish black hair tied in a bun, her hair was secured with a paper flower.

"Konan-sama. How are you?" asked Sakura stepping towards her only shopping friend in Akatsuki since Deidara left. Konan let the bird fly off her arm so she could hug Sakura. She pulled away from the hug and smiled gently at Sakura, she never treated any one else this way not even Pein.

Sakura was her only female friend, they got on really well and teamed up when ever Sakura got into arguments with the Akatsuki boys, and vies versa. Konan had gained the nickname Akatsuki queen and Sakura was labelled the Akatsuki princess.

Konan was Sakura's best friend but she acted a lot like a mother to her, which Sakura found comforting. Especially when she started to miss her parents.

"So how are things?" Sakura looked down, "I wrecked my favourite bandana." She said with a sad expression. Konan gasped, "The lucky one?" Sakura nodded, "I couldn't tell the others because they'd laugh."

"Yes well they are fashion rejects, if it wasn't for the cloak they'd look terrible." Sakura crossed her arms, "It sucks since you went on that mission, I had to go shopping on my own, I tried going with Itatchi once but it didn't go well."

"What did he do?"

"Killed three male shop assistants."

"Oh, that does sound like him, how did you get him to go anyway he despises shopping. Actually just tell me everything."

"Well…"

Flash back

Sakura smiled at Itatchi broadly, "Go on."

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"No."

"With sugar lumps on top?"

"No and that kunai to my throat wont convince me either."

Sakura sighed and replaced the kunai in her pouch. She stepped away from him and turned her back to her boyfriend as he stepped away from the wall she had him pinned against.

An evil look spread across her face, "Fine, no kissing or hugging then." She said with her arms crossed. Itachi was silent. Sakura turned around slightly to check his expression; he was trying to hide his outrage with a frown as his eyebrow twitched.

"I can take that, easily, you're the one that likes all the hugging and kissing." He said finally. Sakura smirked and waved, "We'll see." She called.

After two hours Itachi was trying to keep away from her so he could stop himself from wanting to hold her. Sakura finally walked into the room dressed in a short dress she wore around the house a lot. Her hair was brushed straight around her shoulders and she wore soft make-up.

"Itachi." She greeted coldly, she'd given up on making him go shopping with her by that time; she was just annoyed at him for not going. She kneeled on the floor and started looking through a pile of books on the floor, most of which were about kunai and sword techniques.

She finally picked up a book on hand-to-hand combat and sat on the chair across from him, She crossed her legs and started looking through the pages.

Itachi waited for her to become engrossed in the book before he stared at her for a moment. He stood up and silently walked towards the unwitting girl as she turned another page.

Itatchi kneeled next to her and started reading over her shoulder. Sakura sighed angrily and closed the book, "What?" she asked. Itatchi smirked. He leaned in to kiss her. Sakura pressed her hand to his lips, "No." she said annoyed. Itatchi grasped her wrist, "I'll go shopping." He said defeated. Sakura smiled broadly and tackled him with a hug, almost knocking him over. Itatchi returned the embrace.

Sakura was looking through short dresses and Itatchi was holding all of the shopping bags in his hands. Sakura pulled out a short hot pink dress and held it against herself, "Does this look ok Itachi?" she asked lightly.

"Hn,"

"Come on, seriously?"

"Hn," Sakura frowned. A shop assistant overshadowed the two. "Um, can I help you?" he asked, his brown hair was ruffling around his ears as he smiled at her.

Itatchi's eyebrow twitched in rage as he saw the shop assistant's eyes study his girlfriend very closely. The shop assistant pulled out a very revealing red dress and pressed it against Sakura, "Why don't you try this on?" he asked.

Sakura nodded, "Ok." She took the dress off him and stepped into the changing room.

"So," asked the shop assistant standing next to Itachi, "Is she your girlfriend?"

"Yes."

"She's really hot, well done."

"Hn,"

"You know I bet she looks really hot in that dress, it's one of our sexiest ones."

Itatchi's eyebrow continued twitching as he held in his anger.

Sakura pulled across the curtain and stepped out of the changing room. She looked gorgeous, the dress clung in all the right places and it made her legs look great. "What do you think Itachi?" she asked. Itachi sighed, "Hn," he said.

The shopkeeper leaped towards her and started pulling and tugging at the dress, "Well I think it would look great if it were a little tighter here." He pulled the dress backwards a little at the back. He brushed up against her slightly and pressed his hand against her lower back. "You look really nice in this dress."

Itachi growled quietly, when he saw the annoyed look in his girlfriend's eyes he dragged the shop assistant backwards and glared into his eyes. The shop assistant fell to the ground, dead. Sakura sighed, "Itachi, you didn't have to kill him." Itachi looked to Sakura, "You're not buying that dress."

End flashback
Konan leaned against the tree trunk, "He's so jealous." She observed. Sakura nodded, "But he's still sweet." She replied. Konan smiled and ruffled Sakura's hair, "If he tries to mess with you, you tell me and I'll take the shit head out."

"Konan!"

"Sorry."

"So why did you call me here, you can't have just decided to see me on a whim."

Konan's expression dropped slightly, "Well. I heard that Deidara was looking for revenge on you for wrecking his face; I was wondering, do you want me to send someone after him for you?"

"No, thank you, to be honest I want to kill him myself."

"Well, in any case, I'll be where ever you want me to be, seeing as I'm off work."

"Why don't you help me with this mission, I'm going to be bored to tears with it by the looks of things. There are no sound ninja's around anywhere that I can kill and I'll have nothing to do."

Konan smiled at Sakura, "No, not this time, I think I'll spend a few days at the local spa and pamper myself, but if you want me for anything, send me a humming bird." Sakura nodded, "It was nice seeing you again."

"See you around Sakura-chan." Konan disappeared and Sakura turned around, "You can come out now Naruto I know you're there."

The blonde haired man stepped out from the tree he was hiding behind, "I even hid my chakra." He moaned slightly, "Who was that?" he asked.

Sakura smirked, "I'd tell you, but I'd have to kill you." Naruto laughed slightly and scratched the back of his head as Sakura walked passed him, "Good one." He called, he paused for a moment with a small look of confusion on his face,

"You were joking, right Sakura-chan." He turned and ran after her, "Sakura-chan!"

Konan smiled from her perch on the tree branch, "Good girl." She said full of pride.

Sakura was still walking when Naruto caught up to her, "So how have you been?" he asked her, Sakura didn't turn to acknowledge him, "Fine." She replied. "You seem happy." Observed Naruto. Sakura nodded, "Like I said, I'm fine." She smirked to herself as they passed the Ramen shop.

"You can go and eat ramen if you want you know." She said noticing his twitch towards the ramen shop. Naruto shook his head, "Nope, you might run off again if I don't follow you around."

Sakura sighed, "I'm not back for good you know, I'm here on business." Naruto sighed, "I know but it would be nice to get the two of you back together. Instead of just one." Sakura stopped in mid step in shock. Naruto paused and turned to face her, "You'd better not be talking about who I think you are." She warned darkly.

"It's no joke Sakura-chan." Said a familiar voice behind her. Sakura growled and pulled out a kunai she stabbed it towards the figure standing behind her.

Sakura felt herself get pulled back sharply, "I told you to wait until I explained it to her!" hissed Naruto as he held her back.

Sakura elbowed him in the side of the face and rushed the figure again, "Sasuke you bustard!" she shouted trying to stab him, Sasuke dodged and tried to trip her up, Sakura dodged him and side flipped onto her hand before pushing herself to a fighting stance, "Damn you!" she shouted rushing him again.

She leaped over him and threw a kunai at him as she did so. As she was about to land she felt six pairs of hands drag her to the ground. She struggled against their weight. "What are you doing?" she growled at the shadow clones that held her in place.

"It's ok Sakura. He's come home; he's given up on going after Itachi, isn't it great? All the work we've put in and he's come home." Sakura stopped struggling at the look on Naruto's face, "I finally managed to keep the promise I made to you, I brought him home."

Sakura looked to Sasuke with a look of hatred, the moonlight bathed the eight of them in a glowing light.

A long time ago Sakura had imagined Sasuke coming home and her meeting him in the night, and everything would be so romantic and they'd finally confess each other's love, well Sasuke would confess his because Sakura had already done that… a number of times.

She'd never imagined that she'd be hell bent on pushing a kunai through his eye and stamping on his crotch with her super strength. But people change, so do relationships.

Sakura slowly got to her feet. The clones let go of her and she stared up at Sasuke, "I have to go and get mission information." She turned around and as she did so she executed a technique. "Sakura-Kuro, transportation technique." She whispered. Vines wrapped around her legs, she felt herself melt into the vines and travel beneath the earth towards Ino's house.

Sasuke sighed, as Sakura seemed to disappear into thin air, the vines went back into the ground. "She'll never accept me will she?"

"She's an untrusting girl." Replied Naruto staring at the spot where she'd disappeared. His shadow clones went up in smoke as he solemnly stared at the ground, "She's been betrayed so many times I guess she can't take it anymore." Sasuke sighed, "I'll keep trying." He replied, "Idiot." The two shared a smile and stepped away.

"So we want you to make sure there are no sound ninja's around for the wedding. But you have to attend the wedding, dressed appropriately, and make sure no one attacks us on our happiest day." Explained Ino as she leaned against Choji on the couch. Choji had his arm around her, Sakura sighed deeply, she missed sitting in front of the fire with Itachi.

"Do you really need me here?" she asked. Ino nodded, "We did hire you."

"Did you hire me so that I would attend your wedding, or was it so that I'd see Sasuke and decide to come home?" Ino looked down.

Sakura stood up, "Because, one of the options is a Hell of a lot more likely than the other one."

"Sakura, I understand you're feeling a little fragile right now." Started Ino also standing up from Choji's protection. Sakura paused, her eyebrow twitching, "Fragile?" She repeated darkly. Ino nodded, "Well, Sasuke being back and all, you're old feelings must be resurfacing a little and…"

"Lets get one thing clear, I don't like Sasuke at all, in fact the only way I can stand to stare at that annoying smirk of his is if it's of the receiving end of my kunai. I do not have any of those feelings towards him. Any emotions like that are reserved for another." She started to walk out of the room, "He likes you Sakura," called Ino, "He's changed a lot."

Sakura paused, her hand hovering above the door handle, "So have I." She muttered before pushing the door open and walking through the doorway and out of the house.

A.N Dun Dun DUN!!!! Sasuke? In Konoha? Has he really turned a new leaf? Or is he up to something? Will Sakura dissregard mission orders and kill him? Or will she fall in love with him all oer again? And will Naruto eer learn that ramen is bad for him??? find out in the next chapter...
