Recollection

Chapter Three: Old Times

Thank you so much to all of my readers and followers as well as everyone who voted for me :) You guys are awesome!

I'm sorry this chapters so short, but there's a reason behind it: I'm writing a 1400 word essay for my college English class and it sucks. BUT the next chapter will be longer and I promise the SasuSaku will be starting shortly, it just takes time.

Now I'll stop talking and let you guys read. Enjoy, boos! :)

Thanks again, though!

Chapter Three

Old Times

The screeching alarm clock rudely awakened me with its dull green numbers giving me a glare. Once my brain was able to even process what was going on I realized it was six thirty, giving me just enough time to take a shower and eat some breakfast. I groaned and stumbled to the bathroom, still tired.

The warm water loosened my neck muscles and made my legs come to life.

That's when I heard a loud pounding from the front door.

"What the hell is that!?" I could hear my dad yell from his room."Do people not know what a day off is anymore!?"

I mumbled profound words under my breath as I unwilling got out of the warm embrace of the shower and slid a towel around me then grabbed my robe as I headed out of the bathroom.

"Sakura!"Dad yelled."It's your friends."

"Who?" I said, unconsciously.

"Humph,"Dad said, as I came around the corner."Your teammates."

I raised my eyes as I came around the corner and saw Sai, Naruto, and Sasuke standing in my living room.

"Oh, hey,"I said, pulling my wet hair over my shoulder."What's up?"

"Nothing, just thought we could all have breakfast together before we leave, but I see you're not dressed yet so we'll just wait if you want, Ugly,"Sai informed me."And don't forget, we're going to the Land of Winter so bring lots of warm clothes."

"I know,"I grumbled, turning back to my room."Just make yourselves comfortable until I'm done."

"No prob."Naruto said, stifling a yawn and slinging himself down in the couch.

"I'm going back to bed,"Dad said, as Sai set down on the love seat an Sasuke leaned against the door frame."Don't break anything . . . Naruto."

I shut the door to my room and assembled my gear. It consisted of red shirt with a fishnet undershirt along with a black vest that laces up in the back, fitting me like a corset almost. I pulled on my black ANBU pants with my white circle embellished on the hip. I pulled in my usual black boots and gloves then clasped my star necklace around my neck. My hair was longer now so I just put my headband in like regularly. I finished by putting my kunias in their correct places and pulling out a red jackets with the circles on the back and black fur around the hood. It wasn't too thick nor thin and I was still able to move comfortably, but for now I just carried it on my arm. I grabbed my light pink duffle bag as I hurried out of my room.

"Ready?"I asked, rounding the corner and discovering Naruto asleep, Sai sketching in his book, and Sasuke flipping through a picture album.

"I am, but I'm not so sure about him, Ugly," Sai nodded his head in Naruto's direction.

"Naruto,"I pushed his leg."NARUTO! Wake up!"

"I swear I'm awake, Sakura-chan,"He jumped up, bumping his head into mine.
