The door reopened and in came Sakura, though as soon as she stepped in did all of the little kids, except Ibara since she fell asleep on Ten Ten's lap, yelled and rejoiced, then they glomped her. She fell over on her bottom with the children on top. She was laughing delightedly with them.
Everyone, but Naruto, Neji, Itachi, Mikoto, and Ino, was surprised to see her walk in. Sasuke held his breath once he caught a quick glance at her before the kids had glomped her. He was mystified by her laugh, it seemed even after all these years away her laugh was the best music his ears have ever heard.
Unlike everyone else who knew she was here, Naruto had to get her attention.
"Sakura-nee! How are you? Thanks for the ramen! Ne I brought the Teme just like I promised!" Naruto yelled in excitement and then went to hug her, however Sakura sensed his hug and flew the children into safe arms and then was suffocated by the big mouth blond hugging her. She had a very deep blush on her face, probably from mentioning Sasuke, and from getting a quick glance at him as well.
"She can't breathe." Neji, Ino, and Itachi stated at once, which made Naruto let go. Sakura took a few deep breaths. Everyone noticed what she was wearing. She seemed to have long hair again but they didn't know how long since she kept it in a bun using the Chinese black tong sticks. She wore a black dress that at the end was free flowing. It would ruffle in the wind. It seemed to be strapless, but they couldn't tell because she wore a red jacket like cover on top. She wore her Kohona headband on her neck like Hinata, and she wore the headband for Hanaha as a headband like she used to do with the Kohona one.
To Sasuke she looked like an angel in that form, although to him she always did look like an angel. He started to blush seeing her smile, although he was jealous of the dope because it wasn't him making her smile. Her laugh was music to his ears, and he closed his eyes enjoying the sound. He started to blush even more noticing that some people had noticed how he had taken her in. but even as he turned his head down a little to keep his blush down he caught a glimpse of her and couldn't help himself. His eyes, even though his head was down, took how she had grown; he had noticed her curves had grown in all the right places. 'Great I turned into a pervert. I have spent too much time with Kakashi… stop thinking…' he tried to repeat over and over in his head because he was having impure thoughts about her. He tried to concentrate on something that was still the same. When he looked at her again, he noticed her eyes were still that deep emerald that he loved to get lost in, the ones that showed all her emotions like an open book. He loved to watch them change from all of her emotions. He was ecstatic that her eyes were the same.
She had detangled herself from Naruto only to be glomped by Hinata, Lee, Tsunade, who was drunk, and Mikoto. She had to wait a few seconds to detangle herself again because there were so many hugging her. She was out of breath because of everyone hugging her too. She could detangle Tsunade, which wasn't so hard since she was really drunk, and Mikoto, who had Itachi grab her around the waist and pulled to help. Hinata and Lee were the ones that she couldn't get off.
"Hn. She can't breathe, Lee and if you continue to kill her like that, you won't live long enough. Because the village would kill you, I would kill you, Naruto would kill you, and Sasuke would drag you down to hell, without a second thought." Ino stated in such a calm voice that everyone turned to see that she had a malicious smile on her lips. She then slowly turned her head to look at Lee fully.
Scaring him shitless, he released and ran to hide behind Neji. Knowing full well that she wouldn't hurt him if he hid behind Neji. He knew that as soon as she would look that she would be distracted by Neji.
"No…. not ne…. necessary to do…." Sakura stated losing air. Hinata was still hugging her, because she already tuned her out after Ino said hn. Hinata also knew that Ino would never direct any type of threats at her no matter what she did. Except if she hurt Neji, in Ino's book that was a big No no.
"Hinata-san, you are keeping Sakura from breathing. She needs to breathe. Or she will pass out again." Ino informed. Hinata opened her eyes to find that she should really let go now. When she did Sakura immediately started to cough. Everyone was like 'WTH' because Ino had just went from threat to calmly saying a statement. Neji wasn't so weirder out, because he was trying to work on a plan to kiss her.
"Sorry, Sakura-chan!" She yelled.
"You have been spending too much time with Na-oni-baka." Sakura stated breathlessly, because she had to regain the function of her lungs. "Nice to see I was missed. Ne Hinata I saw something I have to tell you.." Sakura started to whisper in Hinata's ears. Sakura and Hinata smirked once she finished.
Ino knew what was said already, because she sensed it would happen, and she actual heard it with her supersonic hearing. Neji was too busy thinking, to see what had happened.
Sakura and Hinata both turned to look at Ino, who just blinked and showed no sign of responding, and then they turned to Neji and smiled in such that when he finally looked with his eyebrows raised he was scared senseless, even though he wouldn't show it.
Everyone but Tsunade, because she was drunk, and Isabeal, who was trying to secretly glance at Itachi, but he, Mikoto, Sakura, and Ino knew that she was doing that, was totally confused.
"Something tells me I don't want to know what the hell is happening." Naruto said. "Is there anymore ramen?" He yelled. "I'm still really hungry!" Sakura then whacked him on the head for being so loud. Naruto rubbed his head and mumbled something to which made Sakura glare at him.
A moment later, Ino had brought more of the ramen back in for him, so he would be quiet. Everyone, after they got up and greeted, which was a hug or handshake, they sat back down in their seats. Sakura then proceeded to grab a pillow and set it down next to her Sasuke. She then sat down taking a really long glance at him.
Everyone started their own conversations, and soon everyone but Neji, Ino, and Sakura, were talking. Sasuke was grunting to Naruto's and anyone else's questions. Soon Sasuke feels something on his shoulder, he takes a glance to find a light bright pink head. He blushes at the fact that she's laying her head on his shoulder. He turns his head slightly, while everyone is preoccupied. He smells the strong scent of Sakura blossoms, which he loved so much. He was concentrating on her, so he finally noticed she had fallen into a peaceful slumber. He readjusted a bit for a little more comfort. He hadn't waked her, but that was his main concern for her. She had adjusted her head a little more too. He gently laid his head on hers. And he too drifted into a peaceful slumber.
No one had noticed that they had fallen asleep until someone asked Sakura a question and she didn't answer. Mikoto, Itachi, Hinata, Ino, and Neji looked over and found them. The girls awed, (not Ino) and then everyone looked over in response. Some smirked, some smiled, some awed. Everyone silently agreed to leave them be. So they slept like that while the others talked quietly as to not wake the sleeping couple.
