Sakura got out of bed. Thanks to Naruto insistent begging, Sakura finally gave into coming with everyone to the Konoha Summer Festival. Usually she would say “no” and stay home by herself, but Naruto wouldn’t leave her alone.

Sakura dragged herself to her bathroom half asleep to take a shower. She turned the shower on and made sure the water was cold so the shock would wake her fully up.

After 15 minutes of “waking up” in the shower, she got out and blew dry her hair. She walked to her closet and started looking for clothes to wear. After trying on a countless amount of clothes, she finally decided on a pair of Daisy Duke Shorts and a pink and red tank top. (No, she’s not trying to catch guy's attention, it’s the Konoha “SUMMER” Festival, which means that it’s going to be like 100 degrees outside okay?)

Sakura went to the mirror to check on how she looked. “I’ve changed so much,” she thought to herself. When was the last time she really looked at herself in the mirror? She stared at her own reflection and her reflection stared at her back. Her pink, soft, silky hair was just past her shoulders now. She had decided to keep it short but long enough so that she could tie it back when she needed to. Her face features were elegant and soft. Her eyes were still a sparkling pool of green emerald that made anyone want to melt. Her lips were full and just a shade darker than pink. Sakura is shorter than Naruto now. She reached maybe to his shoulder if they were to stand side-by-side. Her body was, well, let me put this is the word that the Konoha boys like to call it: Curvy. Yes, it’s amazing how much she ‘developed’ during the years that Sasuke was away. She had long shapely legs, and she is C sized up top (if you know what I mean). Her waist was a fair size so she doesn’t look like a freaky skinny super model (that was for the people who worry about their looks.) All in all, she was gorgeous.

Sakura sighed and looked away from the mirror. Its not that she thought she didn’t look good. No, Sakura was ALWAYS proud of how she looked no matter what she was wearing. She sighed because she knew, somehow, that it would make no difference to Sasuke Uchiha, how she looked.

“I am not going to worry about that cold-hearted jerk today,” She promised herself, knowing full well, that she couldn’t do that so easily.

She took out a bunch of money from her wallet and slipped it into the back pockets of her Daisy Duke Shorts and went downstairs.

Sasuke began to walk faster towards town, trying to excape Naruto’s constant chattering. “Hey Sasuke, have you seen or talked to Sakura-Chan lately?” Naruto asked curiously. Naruto has noticed that the two of them have been ignoring each other ever since Sasuke’s return.

Sasuke didn’t answer and just walked faster, but this didn’t escape Naruto. “Ahh, I see, so you haven’t huh? Oh well, at least you guys get to catch up with eachother today at the festival.” Then Naruto changed the subject to something about eating ramen later and then seeing fireworks at the festival tonight, but Sasuke wasn’t listening.

He only walked silently, but he was thinking, “Hn, the dobe really doesn’t know what he’s saying. Does he really think I care how long it’s been since Sakura and I have seen eachother? Of course I don’t.”  But deep down Sasuke, was doubtful, and kind of confused about the whole thing.

As soon as he stepped foot onto the road, Sasuke regretted it. Why? Here’s why.

“SASUKE, SASUKE, COME TO THE FESTIVAL WITH ME!”

“Why should he go to the festival with you? He obviously has his eye one me.”

“What? No way, there is no way he likes a stringy haired girl like you when he has me!”

“Sasuke!”

Sasuke grunted. It was already a frustrating day for Sasuke, he didn’t need to deal with the fan girls too.

He did his best to ignore them and continued his way down the street to the center of town, where the Festival was being held.

Sasuke observed the streets leading to the Konoha Summer Festival. There were streamers and lanterns, posters and signs, all over the place. People were selling kites, food, toys, trinkets, clothes, and many more things.

Everyone was laughing and smiling and running towards the festival. He could still here Naruto talking on and on to Hinata and him, but he was unaware that Sasuke wasn’t actually listening.

He continued walking until he reached the festival, “Hey Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata! Over here!” Sasuke looked over to the source of the voice. It was Ino, behind her, sitting on one of the benches was Neji Hyuuga and his girlfriend TenTen standing behind him with her arms around his shoulders. Standing next to Ino with an arm lazily slung over her shoulders was Shikamaru. On the other side of the bench that Neji was sitting on was a group of boys, okay maybe not just a group, it was more of a crowd of excited boys.

Sasuke couldn’t see who or what was in the middle of the crowd, so he started walking closer to the rest of the guys who were waiting for him, Naruto, and Hinata to come over.

Sasuke was standing just in front of Neji now and he looke over at the crowd.

He was surprised tat who he saw in the middle of the boys, who were now, literally, getting horny looks in their eyes.

Sasuke saw a flash of pink hair and his eyes widened.

“Sakura?”
