Sakura arrived at training ground 3 earlier than her teammates, as usual. She took a seat at the base of a tree and rested her back on the bark. It's been two weeks since the funeral and in that time her friends refused to leave her alone. Sasuke and Naruto stayed at her house for 4 more days and kept her company. She appreciated it a lot. After that, her girls stopped by and had a sleepover at her place. It was surprisingly fun and took her mind off the events that transpired. She also exasperated Ino and Tenten by braiding their hair to hell and back.

She was snapped out of her thoughts by approaching footsteps. She looked to her left and saw her boys coming her way. She smiled softly. Even if I fail everything else, at least they will be safe...small victories.

"Hey Sakura-chan!" said Naruto as he and Sasuke took a seat on either side of her. "How are you doing?"

Sakura shrugged. "I'm alright, I suppose...Well as well as I can be considering..." Sakura shook her head. "Anyways, I'm not ok, but I'll get there. Ino bullied me into seeing a Yamanaka therapist. It's been helping quite a bit." That had been quite a scary experience, since Sakura was terrified of someone finding the truth, but it ended well, since miss Chika never mind walked and invaded her privacy. And Sakura was a chronic liar by this point, it was easy to hide the real reason she blamed herself. "Still, it was unnecessary. Not because I don't need one but because I already had one. Did you know, Lady Katsuyu is a licensed therapist in the Land of Fire?"

"Really?" said Sasuke.

"Yup. Lady Katsuyu is the summon of healing, and that includes mental scars. She's really good at her job, if any of you are interested, I can set you up. Privacy seals included."

"I'll think about it..." said Sasuke.

"Thanks, Sakura-chan."

"You're welcome you two. But yeah I've been ok-ish. Mostly it's too..."

"Quiet." said Sasuke.

"Yeah...Hopefully moving in a new place will help with the silence."

"You're moving?!" exclaimed Naruto.

"Yeah. I don't...I don't have the money to keep the house, so I need to sell it. Kurenai-sensei has been nice enough to help me find an apartment near the hospital. I've been packing for the past few days. I'm moving in tomorrow and the day after I'll give the keys to my old house to a real estate agent. I'm sad that I have to leave my house, but...I don't really have a choice."

"Would you...like some help?" asked Sasuke.

Sakura blinked. "If you two don't mind, then yes."

"Don't worry Sakura-chan, with the two of us around, you'll have everything packed in no time!"

Sakura snorted. "Thanks guys."

A while later, Kakashi showed up with a lame excuse about why he was late, but Naruto interrupted him.

"Nevermind that, Kaka-sensei! Sakura-chan is moving and needs our help with packing. So whatever you have planned, stuff it! You're coming with us to help move furniture!"

"It's about time you helped us on a D-rank." muttered Sasuke, earning himself an elbow from Sakura.

Team 7 arrived at Sakura's house. They found her living room filled with boxes with labels. Most of the furniture was missing, probably already at her new apartment, the only thing left was a white couch and a coffee table. Sakura immediately directed them to their tasks.
