Chapter two

Sakura sat in the big tree at the training ground by the river. She was now juggling being The main one of the Hokage's personal guards, a sensei to her own team, in a top ninja in the whole village, and a full time medic-nin all while trying to have a normal ninja civilian life. From time to time she likes to clear her head by spend her little free time as she is now... just sitting in a big tree...in the quiet... all day long.
The silence was broken by a loud screams. Sakura sighed as a voice filled the air,

"Sensei...sensei... he did it again...uncle Gaara is grabbing people with sand again..." Sakura sighed. It has been six years since peace had returned back into Konoha... well as peaceful as it once was. People in the village started to piece together what little was left of it. Ino and Shikamaru had started dating, shortly before the Hyuuga family had secretly taken Sakura in. The two least expected were Kankuro with Kin and Temari with Choiji as a couple. Sakura shivered. Kakashi had wound up having a little girl show up claiming herself as his daughter... The worst part was... that it was true... no clue on her mom through.

Gaara had been staying with her since the fact that Kankuro and Temari were now married and lived with their lovers, and of course this is spreading rumors about her going out with him. Ino's voice broke her train of thought,

"Sakura-kun, we need you... Gaara..."Sakura sighed

"I heard you guys the first time... now tell me what do you want me to do about it?" They all stared at her dumbly as another female voice said

"Sakura... Gaara and Neji is... uh... best if you see for yourself..." They all made their way back only to be blocked by Gaara and Neji. Hinata clung on to Tenten. Sakura sighed and walked up into the middle of them and said,

"If you two don't stop this now, you both are going to have to deal with me...NOW COOL IT!" Sakura sighed as the two growled at each other. Ino said,

"What on earth made them..."Sakura sighed.

"They both are being way too protective..." Anko said.

"Man, I wonder what Naru-kun and Sasuke would say to this?" everyone stared at her stupidly, Kakashi quickly replied

"So why are you two fighting." Neji just walked up to Sakura. She looked him and said

"I'm fine... if I knew why you two were fighting?"

"We..." Sakura start at him with the 'do you think I'm stupid' look. a little boy said

"They were fighting about going some where?"

"Uh... I told you two already you can pick only if you two can agree if you can't then I choose." The two glared at the kid as Sakura said

"Thank you Neji... Come on you two, time to visit the Hokage for our next mission. I swear you two can be so childish sometimes." The two slowly followed silently behind her.

The three silent stood before Tsunade, in her small bar-study, as she quietly read through a stack of papers. Neji was the right, and Gaara on the left of Sakura.

"Man what do these people think we are?..." Tsunade looked up for the first time since who knows how long,"...Sakura... what is wrong?"

"Sensei... You had told us to come...remember? "

"Oh right sorry...I thought I would have a mission for you but it seems all of this are just small things..."

"That's fine I need a breather... and these two need to get some room... they've been cooped up together way to much..."

"Sakura... you and you team are to damn important to leave on..."

Come on sensei... we have been her for the past three months bored out of our minds...plus this would be a good time for use to do some missions with the team... there are plenty of other strong fighters here I mean... you Lee, Ino, Shino, Anko, Kiba... "

"That is... Well I do have to admit you three's teams do need to go on missions ... but..." Gaara and Neji both lazily leaned on a near by wall.

"Sensei, just be glad I didn't go and do what Sasuke and Naruto did...Ii can't be cooped in here much longer..."

"Then leave the room Sakura...Sakura stares at her tired lyoh you meant the village... Fine, but you will get the highest priority... which...is... sigh it seems a village hidden not far from here has been having issues with thief attacks... live stock goes missing, random people turn up die in the oddest places and positions, huh..., the lands have the harvests wiped clean in curtain area's... house catching on fire out of no where... Man they have a really long list four pages with six long narrow lines of nothing but what is going on either they making it worse or its marked wrong. Alright... go gather your teams you leave by dawn... and you may want to pack a little extra. "Gaara and Neji swiftly stood straight and started to leave when Tsunade said, " you three be careful and don't go pushing the little ones into to too much pressure got it you two?" Tsunade glared at the two young men who followed Her young prodage like little puppies.

When the door closed Tsunade sighed as a young looking woman faded in from the shadows. Tsunade said,

"My I help you...?" a cold voice said,

"Tsunade why did you let her leave... with those three... you know that word is going arou..."

"I know what all of the rumors are Anko..." Since that day that Neji's family took Sakura in Neji has followed her every where and because the "adoption" was done in secrecy word has been going around that the two were together and it only got worse when Gaara started following her around too. they really seem too excited about the supposed love triangle and of course Tenten starts to grow angrier every time that she sees him with Neji. Anko said,

"Then why do you let those three continue as a broken team?"

"Because I know that those two boys will keep my Sakura safe from harm."

"And if 'Something' happens?"

"It won't"

"I for some reason find that hard to believe."
