Sakura hummed on her way home. She was always happy to see Ino. Whenever Ino came back from a mission, no matter how long or short, she invariably came home with some sort of alcohol that she then brought over to Sakura's place for a celebration. There was always a good time to be had when Ino came home.
She was still humming away happily when she opened the door and walked in on Gaara signing documents and handing them to a ninja bird for delivery.
She stood at the door and stared at him for a second, thinking about her talk with Ino this morning.
"...shit."
