Chapter 15

Going back

"Wha… But Yasmine I can't-" "Yes you can. I already sent word to the Hokage," Yasmine said drinking the last of her 29th sake bottle. 'She must be drunk or else she wouldn't do this to me,' Sakura thought frantic. Yasmine eye twitched. She slams her fist down. "I'm not drunk. You leave at dawn. Dismiss," she said with a wave of her hand. Sakura wanted to argue more but she knew better. She picks up the papers and left out signing. When her footsteps disappeared that's when Yasmine signs. "I'm sorry Sakura, but you must go home."

Next day… "Daddy! I did the bykagun," Minato yelled as he burst through the door. Naruto, who was doing paper work with Shikamaru looks up and smiles. "Really? Alright!" Shikamaru had to cover his ears from Naruto's outburst. 'What a drag.' Naruto got up and went to his son and picks him up as a very pregnant Hinata came through the door with their 5 year old daughter May. She smiles at the scene. "You're defenionly my son! A genius," Naruto said as he spins Minato around. May pouted. "Daddy! I want to get pick up too," she said as she grabs his orange pants leg.

She has shoulder length blond hair and blue eyes. Three lines on each cheek. Like a girl Naruto. Minato's hair is spike like Naruto's. Naruto shifted Minato and then picks up May. "How's this," he asked as he spins them around. They giggled. Shikamaru signed and got up walking to the door. 'Guess the paper work will have to wait,' he thought. Hinata smiles at him. "How's Ino?" He signs again, thinking about his wife. "Same old. Have her hand full with the twins." Ino and Shikamaru had twins a boy and a girl. Their names are Jiro and Mya.

Both have black hair like their father and baby blue eyes like their mother. He walks out the door. Then remembering something he pokes his head back in. "Someone from Rose village is coming to sign a peace treaty with us today." Naruto nodded, still spinning around Minato and May. "Thanks Shikamaru. I could always count on you." Shikamaru smile a little before walking away.

Sakura walks to the gates of Konoha thinking, "Been a while since I've been here. I wonder how everone is.' Since the gates were already open she walks right in, her tied in a ponytail. She was wearing all black. The shirt was sleeveless and had a zipper in the front. The pants were leather and stops above the knees. Her rose tattoo was on her arm. People who knew Sakura was staring at her. She waves to them smiling. 'Maybe I'll go visit Ino before I go to the Hokage's office.'

She turns towards the street with Ino's family's shop. She was looking up at the Hokage faces and saw Naruto's face. Her smile was gentle. 'I knew you could do it Naruto' she thought. She opens the door and found Ino at the counter with a customer. "Come again," Ino said when the customer left. "Hey Ino," Sakura said. Ino froze staring wide eyed at Sakura. "Sa…kura… is that you," she asked slowly. Sakura smiles gently and nodded. Tears filled Ino's eyes as she ran to her best friend.

Sakura opens her arm ready to hug her when SLAP! Sakura held her face staring at Ino. "Where the hell have you been? I was worried sick about you!" Sakura looks down. "I'm sorry." Ino had more tears coming from her eyes but she hugs Sakura. "I missed you."
