It's months before he sees her again. But when he does he thinks the money must of run out and she found someone that would actually employ her, because her clothes are all different and she is waiting tables.

It's probably the worst thing she has ever done because she looks sunken and pale. Rings around her eyes and her lips look like they are going to crack and bleed. Oddly, she looks alive in a way she had not before. It's the best irony Gaara has been witness to in a long time. She is talking to a customer, then turns to go. She doesn't even bat an eyelash when the customer slaps her ass, not even a little stumble. Sakura Haruno can play street line dirt as well as anyone else. She still has her jewels though, people are so used to the fake rings that are normally seen that its brushed off. No longer able to tell quality from costumed plastic.

Gaara thinks she looks older.
