I do NOT own any of the Naruto characters places or stories.
(only the idea for this particular fanfic)
Hello readers! This is my first fanfiction in over 10 years! It is also my first EVER fanfic about the Naruto series. I apologize if I get any of the facts, places, and or people wrong in the series. About a year ago I got back into reading fanfictions and now I want to write them once again.
I am very out of practice and there may be plenty of grammatical errors and misspells. I apologize ahead of time. Not strictly cannon with the timeline or characters.

SAKURA POV
I awoke with a bang followed by a few more. My eyes flew open and I noticed my phone ringing. It was Naruto. I groaned and rolled my eyes looking at the alarm clock. 7:03AM displayed as I grew more annoyed. What was this baka doing calling me this early on my day off from the hospital. I answered the phone just as another set of bangs hit on my door.
"SAKURA-CHAN IM GLAD YOU FINALLY ANSWERED!" Naruto wailed into the phone. I stretched my arms and looked at my self in the mirror before going to answer the door. I was wearing my silk light pink shorts and matching tank top with dark circles under my eyes and hair in a messy bun.
"What do you want Naruto, its too early for this and you know I worked a double yesterday." I said annoyed while opening the door. It took my brain a second too long to register what scene was right in front of me. Naruto stood holding his cellphone to his ear and a big cheeky grin on his face with his eyes closed, but that's not who caused me to freeze and drop mine out of my hand. There he stood.
My mind instantly went back to 3 years ago at the gates with a tap to the forehead and a promise of meeting again. Sasuke Uchiha. He was staring at me intensely with a concerned look on his face. " I told you she'd be surprised teme!" Naruto laughed. Sasuke looked to him and said "Yeah and I told you we shouldn't of woken her up." I was still stunned I opened my mouth up to speak but nothing came out. Naruto looked at me confused "Sakura-Chan are you okay? You don't look so good.." I felt the blackness start to take over just as a pair of rough hands caught me.
I opened my eyes and sat up really fast as the memory pulled me to. I was laying on my couch and Naruto sat by my feet remote in hand. I looked around panicked but no Sasuke. Maybe I just dreamed that up. It just felt so real. I leaned back to the couch with a huff.
"Finally you're up Sakura-Chan, hope you don't mind but we let ourselves in and I let Sasuke use you shower." My eyes shot back to Naruto and that's when I heard the shower that I didn't notice being on turn off. My cheeks grew hot and I realized that it wasn't a dream earlier. Sasuke was really back and he was here, and in my shower!
I jumped up and ran to the kitchen to start a pot of tea and breakfast. I wasted too much time already in LaLa Land instead of being the Sakura I've trained myself so hard to be. I turned to set the table just as they walked into the kitchen. I shyly looked up at Sasuke and that's when I noticed how much he has changed in the past 3 years. His hair was still damp from the shower but had noticeably grew longer. His face more defined. He was taller and shoulders more broad. I saved his eyes for last as I stared up.
They looked kinder than I remembered, still the pools of onyx that I've dreamed about so much in my life but definitely kinder. "Sasuke-Kun" I smiled and looked down. "Sakura, I am back." he smirked. "Hey guys I'm here too!" Naruto laughed while pulling out a chair and digging into the breakfast I prepared. "Yeah we couldn't forget you dobe." Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Arigato Sakura-Chan" Naruto said with his mouth full. "Arigato Sakura" Sasuke said and he pulled out a chair and sat. I stood there still watching my teammates and letting it sink in that we were finally together again. A knock at the door pulled my out of my thoughts.
I went to open it to see Sai standing with his thin smile on his face. "Good morning ugly. Naruto texted me that there was a team reunion here and there would be breakfast." I laughed and rolled my eyes stepping aside for Sai to enter. He walked to the dining room and turned to me "Ugly, I don't think it is appropriate that you are not wearing proper undergarments I can see breasts through your shirt." Then sat down. Sasuke choked on his food and Naruto spit his drink. "SAI YOU CAN'T JUST SAY THAT!" Naruto screamed.
My face turned bright red and I realized I was still in my sleep clothes from that night. "Um, excuse me for a moment." I squeaked and took off to my room. I grabbed my black leggings and pulled them up and put on a bra and red oversized shirt. It was fall and pretty chilly out. I threw on my socks and boots and turned to my mirror to braid back my hair placing it into two french braid pigtails. My eyes looked too keyed up and you could see the excitement in them. I took a few deep breaths and walked back to the dining room sitting at the last chair left opposite to Sasuke.
They were all on their second plate and arguing about something. I glanced up from my plate feeling eyes on me and stared directly into the onyx pools. He was smirking and looking right at me. I felt my cheeks grow hot again and looked back down.
"So what do you think Sakura-Chan?" asked Naruto. Had they been talking to me this whole time? I looked up at him confused. "About what?" I said. "About why Kakashi-Sensei has summoned us to the tower!" "I'm not sure. I cant think of anything, the village has been very peaceful this last year." I said. "Well were going to find out soon, we have 30 min to get there!" Naruto laughed. I looked at the clock and it as 11:30 AM.
Wait I must have been out of it for a minute back there. "11:30!!" I screamed while in disbelief. "Yeah Sakura-Chan you were out cold for an hour after you passed out from seeing me and teme here." Naruto chuckled. My face once again grew hot as I remembered the meeting from earlier. "Why did you pass out from seeing Naruto and Sasuke Ugly?" Sai asked. "I .. I... was just tired is all and needed some rest." I stammered out.
"I once read that passing out when seeing friends means you are really shocked and excited to see them." Sai stated. "Yeah yeah." I said while getting up and collecting the dishes. I walked to the sink and started the washing while they continued their guessing game about the meeting with Kakashi later. I was lost in thought when I saw a hand reach down to dry the dish I had just put into the sink. It was Sasuke. He smirked down at my and continued drying.
I didn't question it because I didn't trust my voice with him standing this close I knew It'd give away my nervousness. We finished the dishes pretty quickly and I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth. We had about 10 minutes when I was done so we all decided to started our walk to the Hokage tower. Opening the door the crisp cool air hit my face soothing my hot cheeks. They all walked ahead while I trailed behind a few paces once again lost in thought about the dark haired man who walked in front of me.
