"I've never seen anything like this before." Ino breathed as we entered the rounded hall of the Temple. We had waited for the three Mages to leave before entering the ruin. They obviously thought highly of themselves as they had set no traps, either that or their incredibly stupid.

"Is that what dragons actually look like?" Lee asked his eyes wide beneath his bushy brows.

The walls were covered in paintings of dragons, from Fire Dragons to Sky dragons.

"They're bigger in real life. But I think they are extinct now." I told him sadly. My eyes scanned the room and then a chill ran up my spin. "I've been here before."

Shika looked over his shoulder at me, "What do you mean?"

"I think this is the temple I woke up in. It would explain how I was so close to Kohona." I said my hand trailing along the wall as I walked, a flash of red caught my eye and saw myself staring into the eyes of the dragon that raised my brother and me, "Igneel." I breathed, a hand coming to rest on his painted chest.

"That's Igneel?" Hinata asked coming to stand next to me, "He looks… Scary."

"Oh he was. But he had a kind heart." I told her fondly, my own heart ached to see him and my brother again. Wat would Natsu think of me coming back? Does he think I'm dead? Did they search for me? Don't be stupid of course they searched for you, they were- are - your family.

Shaking my head free of those thoughts I turned to face the centre of the room, "I don't get ow were supposed to go from here to there." I said.

"Maybe we should have researched more." TenTen said sullenly kicking a pebble and twirling a kunai in her hand.

"Do you remember anything else about coming here? Did you do anything before you fell asleep?" Neji asked, his lavender eyes piercing me.

"I don't remember-"a memory hit me, "Actually I remember being cold so I made a fire, I was sat in the middle of the room like this," I sat cross-legged in the centre of the room and the others followed my lead, "And I made a small flame." I cupped my hands and felt a flicker of heat surge through my fingertips, I squashed a smile at the 'oohs' my friends made at the sight of the flames.

"What next?" Naruto asked his voice hushed.

"I fell asleep. But only after doing a trick Natsu taught me, he used to do it to entertain me. He called it the Cherry Blossom Flame." As I said the spells name, I threw my hands into the air and watched as formed tiny cherry blossom petals and flowers, then they did something I don't remember happing when Natsu did it. Instead of falling to the ground and going out like they should have, the fire petals danced towards the ceiling, getting brighter and brighter the further they went.

"Is that supposed to happen?" Kiba asked stifling a yawn. I felt my eyes grow heavy as I shook my head, I was trying to say no but it was too much effort. As though someone had flicked a switch, we all slumped to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up to a bright light shining down on me, scrunching my eyes together I rolled over and came into contact with another body. Whoever it was they wrapped an arm around m waist and pulled me closer. Mm pine trees and sandalwood, I thought as I borrowed closer, I could safely say this was a man. A man with muscles. A smile crept onto my face and then disappeared. I shouldn't be cuddling someone!

I was awake in an instant, jumping to my feet and pulling out a kunai. A few seconds passed and I realised I was in no immediate danger. I glanced down and saw that Sasuke (Sasuke!) was patting the space next to him, where I had previously been laying, with a frown on his face.

Was I just cuddling with Uchiha? Did he seriously cuddle back? The questions ran around my head, but one that kept popping up was Did I like it? Yes, yes I did. But I won't admit it out loud. Maybe in my younger days I would have been squealing like a guinea pig on helium but now? Not so much.

Reaching down I shook the duck-butt awake, feeling a little bit guilty as he had looked so adorably innocent and content. As the others started to stir I decided to take a look around.

We were no longer in the ruins, but in a pristine building with large stained glass windows and high ceilings. Thrill ran through me.

"Where are we?" Naruto's groggy voice asked and I span on my heel to face him, a large grin eating my face.

"Kardia Cathedral! We're in Earth Land! In Magnolia!" I all but shouted, I felt like I could burst, "Fairytail is around here, it won't be long before we can make the alliance!"

"Who gave her sugar?" Shika groaned, he was still on his back an arm flung across his eyes in an obvious attempt to shut the world out. It clearly wasn't working.

"Nara, get up." Kakashi said as he walked around, his head thrown back to look at the ceiling.

"The architecture is amazing." Shino stated. TenTen nodded her head in agreement.

"Where do we start?" Choji asked sanding his hands together.

"I need to find Natsu." I said, I was talking to myself, "I can't wait to see him!"

"Sakura," Kakashi said, his voice tender, "I know this means a lot to you but we're here on a mission." It felt like a slap in the face. This was my chance to finally see the family I had been ripped away from, it was my chance to hg my big brother one more time. Couldn't they see how important this was for me? Why couldn't they be happy?

"I understand that, but the last time I saw my Family was when I was being taken away from them. The last memories I have of my big brother are him screaming my name. So excuse me for being happy that I get to see him again." I could feel tears welling up.

"I didn't mean it like that." Kakashi said reaching to brush a stray tear away. I jerked out of his way and brushed past the others.

"I suggest that we scout the area. Make sure there aren't any people with the same mark as those guys back in or world." I said, remembering the guild tattoos we had seen on the twin terrors and Zaffe while we were waiting for them to leave. A Snake curling itself around a sword.

"Good plan. We have to blend in though, don't want to raise any concern or bring attention to ourselves." Sasuke said, I could feel his eyes on me.

"I think there's a clothes store down the road. But we don't have currency from this world. They use Jewels not Yen" I told them.

"Why don't we find Fairytail and just get it over with. They might be able to help us come up with a plan. It saves all this messing around." Shikamaru said in a bored tone.

"Vote?" Ino suggested flicking her long blonde hair over her shoulder.

"No point. Nara's right, we might as well save messing around." Sasuke said. Everyone nodded in agreement and headed for the door.

I held my breath, for the first time in twelve years I would see my home.
