Summary: Sakura and Naruto meetup for the first time



[ Naruto said he was coming. She keeps telling herself that. To pass the time, she replies to the other messages that have appeared in her inbox, quickly getting the hang of the little device, despite not knowing where it came from or who some of he people on the screen are.

Sasuke is here. Sasuke...is here. Sasuke is here. Sasuke.

Finally, after waiting for what seems like ages, Sakura hears footsteps in the distance. Cautiously, she steps out from behind one of the rotting stalls.

As soon as she sees that familiar mop of blond hair, she's standing taller, walking faster, practically running toward him. Later, she'll attribute her overreaction to relief and nothing more, but for now, she throws her arms around Naruto and hugs him tightly. ]

Where have you been??

[ Her words are muffled in the front of his jacket. ]

[He smiles as she reminds him of the time his Sakura would get embarrassed, mostly when Sasuke was around. Her outbursts were very common, so it was nice to have someone that could remind him of the girl he admired.]

I can take you there since we're neighbors. And if you need ANYTHING, please don’t hesitate to knock on my door-dattebayo!

All right.

[ She can't help the tone of resignation in her voice. But too much has happened, too many things in her world have changed. It's not even her world anymore. ]

I'll hold you to that. [ She laughs softly as they head off in the direction of what she hopes is a comfortable bed, quietly thankful that no matter where he's from, Naruto is still Naruto. ]
