She was called into Tsunade's office in the late afternoon, after not having heard from her all day. Sakura stood by the door, waiting while Tsunade finished talking with a black ops agent. Once he was gone Sakura stepped forward at Tsunade's beckon.
"I just received a message from Temari, of a rather surprising nature, regarding you and the Kazekage." Tsunade said. "I think you know what I'm talking about."
Sakura blanched. "Yes." She answered. "Yes, I know. And I apologize. It was unprofessional of me, and I know you expect better of me, but the fact remains that I love Gaara." She felt strange, saying it out loud. It was true though. "I know it's a burden to you, and to him, but it should be alright – I won't bother him about it."
Tsunade stared at Sakura for a minute, chewing her bottom lip. "A burden...?" She chuckled softly. "I think you maybe don't realize exactly what the message was about."
Sakura frowned. "What was it then?"
Tsunade grinned and leaned back in her chair. "Apparently, the Kazekage is in love with you too. Temari said she's bringing him here in a few days." She sighed and shook her head. "The two of you are such a burden to us all."
