When Sakura first saw him again she thought he was a mirage, suddenly appearing before her in a desert. After all, since Tsunade had called Sakura into her office to talk yesterday he was all she could think about; him and that one little sentence Tsunade had said. 'He's in love with you too.'
She figured she had been thinking about him too much probably, and now she was hallucinating him too. When she reached out, she could even touch him. A thought occured ot her. What if it wasn't him and she had just grabbed a stranger's hand? Crap, now she was making a complete an utter fool of herself in front of strangers.
But no, there was Temari, behind him, grinning wickedly at Sakura. She wouldn't hallucinate that would she? No, she hadn't been thinking of Temari. Then... it was real.
He really was there, standing in front of her, asking what had happened!
She wanted to laugh. She nearly cried. How did he know about what had happened? Had someone told him? Maybe he really was a hallucination after all.
She decided she didn't care – she was happy to see him anyway.
"You're really in love with me?
