Week 25 Need

It started with just a little thing...

She found a chewed ramen packet lying on her new counter top. Thinking it must have been one of the nin dogs; Sakura tossed the food into the trash and went on with her day.

Then it became an ISSUE.

Two weeks to the day of the ramen incident, as Sakura had began to think of it, she found ( Read more... )

AN: One last note. For the sake of the story, let us assume that the nurse realizes that the pack is better behaved, cleaner, and in general, smarter than most normal dogs. I know that there is much more to be done for your dog to become a therapy dog. One of mine has gone through all the classes and tests. Let us also assume that none of the ( Read more... )

Week 20 Blood

The first note from Kakashi to Sakura came by messenger bird.

Where should I build the house?

She replied via slug.

In the same place as the last one...baka.

The first note from Naruto, delivered by Gamakichi's baby brother, smelled like ramen and swamp water.

Sakaaara-chyann ( Read more... )

Okay, I think that I am happy with this one. It's only 554 words over the 500 max for a drabble. Oops.

Memories

Sakura stood before Chouji's Tree.

This was the Rookies' memorial. Not a wind-bitten rock but a living breathing testament to continuing life. Many of their firsts were here, along with their losses. She traced the arrow Shikamaru had ( Read more... )

  I had a ball with this one.  It goes with Discovery and Mistake

Explaining 1.5

“Why do I need you when I have this?' And she's waving this horse-sized vibrator in Kotetsu's face.” Sakura waved a rolled up napkin inches from TenTen's face for emphasis.
“No way!”
“Yeah! And his face! Gods! You should have seen it. Remember the time we put wasabi in ( Read more... )

Laying together in a tangle of limbs and blankets, shadowed with pre-dawn gloom, the lovers were awakened by the incessant chirp of the alarm clock. A pale arm reached out groping for the clock while another smaller, more feminine one reached for the kunai stashed in the headboard. Moments later, clock attached to the wall and blissfully silent, ( Read more... )

It's only been a week but it feels like forever since I was allowed to write.   Mom duties and all that.

She blinked at the blinding light. Groaning at the pain, Sakura raised a hand to cover her face. 
“Don't” A woman's voice stopped her as quickly as the hand that grasped her wrist.
“Wha...what happened?” She could feel a bed underneath her body and ( Read more... )

I have the last of my drabbles but I don't like the way they fit. And before I butcher the hell out of them I decided to post them here so I would at least have a semi-original copy for myself.

The tentative titles are Past, Curiosity, Blood, and Memories (which has been thoroughly butchered)

Week 24 Past

She never ceased to amaze him. 
Standing ( Read more... )

This needs serious work but I want to get it up here so I am forced to look at it all the time.

Week 15 Lessons

“Some thing's wrong with Sakura.” Pakkun pointed out to Kakashi while they sat under a tree. Twenty feet away, Sakura crouched over a dog while the rest of the pack surrounded her.

“She hasn't said anything.” Kakashi scratched at his chin ( Read more... )

Week 12 Guilt (or more correctly, the lack of )

“Sakura-san, go home. You've been here for 20 hours. Let Kamizuki-san walk you home.”

She waved the nurse's concern away and walked out the front doors. It wouldn't do for her to know that the team was on a mission leaving me to the tender mercies of the hospital. A glance upward proved that the ( Read more... )
