Chapter 2
"He's home. I thought you'd be happy." A sigh drew the speaker's attention. "What?"
"I am happy, Ino. It's just that I was a child when this happened, now I realize that he is my brother, nothing more." Ino raised an eyebrow.
"Sakura… Are you sure?" Sakura looked up into startled blue eyes.
"Yes, after I'm done talking with Shikamaru's mom, I'm going to go over to see Sasuke." Worry crossed over Ino's face. "I'm fine. Shika and I talked last night. We are all good."
"Are you sure? I can go with you." A caring smile overcame the cherry blossoms face.
"Thanks, but you don't want to be anywhere me when I go over there." A dark glint appeared in Sakura's emerald eyes.
"Alright, if you want to come over later, Kiba said he didn't mind, if anything he knows you need us." The two girls smiled at each other before departing in opposite directions.

"Sakura, it's a pleasure to see you here." Sasuke said smugly.
Sakura just gave a sweet smile before clocking Sasuke right in his nose. The male went flying past Naruto whom was already cackling loudly.
"You're right, it is a pleasure to see you, Sasuke." Sakura grinned before turning around and marching away.
"Ouch." Naurto felt his grin grow at the sight of his friend struggling to free himself of the bookshelf he flew into.
"That's Sakura. Be lucky she didn't charge her chakra. Then you'd really be hurting." Sasuke stopped what he was doing to glare at the blonde.
"I am far from amused. Now get over here and help me. My foot is stuck." The sole Uchiha pouted.
"Sure thing, princess." Naruto said jokingly.
There was murder in the ravenette's eyes.
As soon as Sasuke had his foot free, Naruto ran down the hall. Sasuke chased after him with full intent on (murdering) hurting his friend
"What's that?" A toneless voice asked.
"Chicken noodle, tomato and bacon soup." A cheerful voice said.
"The shit is that?" Sasuke blurted out.
"My own creation, don't knock it till you try it." Naruto said as he brandished his mixing spoon like a kunai.
"Whatever you say at least it isn't ramen." Sasuke ducked as the spoon came whizzing by his head.
"Ramen is the best, believe it!"
This time it was Naruto chasing Sasuke. The teen ran as fast as he could, but even he couldn't stop himself from laughing out loud.
"So how is it?" Naruto said as he bounced where he stood.
"Not half bad, but it needs pepper." Sasuke said as he continued to eat.
Living with Orochimaru and his vegetarian ways, the Uchiha was happy for some chicken in his life and diet. With new-found hunger, Sasuke devoured five bowls of soup, seven pieces of bread and a case of Vienna sasuages. Naruto merely laughed when his friend couldn't even move from the chair.
