Chapter 9

Welcome Spring and the Beautiful Cherry (Sakura) Blossoms

This chapter is dedicated to Sakura4ever :) Enjoy~!

It's the first day of spring. The sun casted it's bright rays over Konoha and delicate cherry blossoms decorated the atmosphere as they floated in the air. Kagome yawned and stretched, she placed her book down that she was reading and walked over to her window. Gently sliding it open, Kagome took a deep breath of the morning fresh air. The wind blew past her face and danced through her silky soft raven hair. Cherry blossoms floated into her room, carried by the wind and landing on her carpet. It was a lovely day.

I better get going... Thought Kagome. She got dressed into a light purple dress with long silky sleeves and tied her raven hair back into a pony tail. Tsunade needed Kagome to do a check up on the academy students today, there's been a flu going around lately and wanted to make sure the kids were safe. Therfore, Kagome needs to give all the ninja academy students an injection to help fight the flu or prevent it. Ino is working at the flower shop, Kagome thought to stop at her shop later in the afternoon to get some flowers for her living room, but in a beautiful season like this, where sakura blossoms are everywhere, there's really no need for it.

"Morning Kagome-chan!" Naruto grinned. Kagome smiled back.

"Good morning! I love spring." Kagome sighed staring at the sky.

"Me too." Naruto said as he skipped along. Naruto had agreed to help Kagome today. When they arrive at the hospital door, Kagome disappeared into her office to gather equipment and told Naruto to wait outside. Also, Sakura and Sasuke tagged along too. Kagome walked out shortly with Sakura carrying the things, to find Sasuke and Naruto fighting again.

"I'm going with Kagome!" Shouted Naruto.

"Hn. So am I." Sasuke said sarcastically. Sasuke seems to always follow Kagome around now a days, just to make sure she was safe. After all, Kagome can't fight, she can only heal.

"Cut it out!" Sakura shouted angrily and punched Naruto on the head.

"Now now..." Soothed Kagome, as Sasuke tooked the heap out of her arms to help her carry them. Kagome smiled. And they began walking.

"Thanks."

"Hn."

"Hey wait up! Teme!"

"Pshh..."

"What was that!?"

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Stop it guys. We're nearly here." Kagome said pointing in front of her. "See?"

As said, they have arrive at the gates of Ninja Academy.

"Ahhhhh... brings back memories..." Sakura said softly, almost whispering.

"Hn." Sasuke agreed. Kagome looked confused. She's new here and only just settled in.

Oh well... Kagome thought.

"Let's go in!"

"OKAY!"

*opens classroom door*

"Hi sensei. I'm Kagome. I'm here to check up the kids and give them some injections to prevent the flu thats been going around lately." Kagome said.

"Oh my! Come on in! Okay class, let's form a line!" Sensei said to the class. One by one the children lined up in front of Kagome. Kagome pulled out a seat and set her things out on a table. Naruto started talking to the kids while they waited in line, Sasuke just watched Kagome do her work and Sakura helped her, being her assistance. As Kagome has gone through almost the whole class, there was this little boy left, shivering in the corner.

"What's the matter?" Naruto went up to him and asked.

"I-I'm scared..." the little boy replied.

"Why? Of what?"

"There's nothing to be scared of. It only hurts a tiny bit. But it help you fight the flu and be strong." Kagome explained with a soothing smile.

"Yeah!" Naruto said. "Look, after this you'll be strong and can train and learn like normal and not worry about the flu! Then some day become a great ninja like me!" Naruto grinned.

"Don't flatter yourself..." Sasuke muttered. But as to hearing Naruto's words the little boy gained confidence and stepped up.

"Alright! I can do this!"

"Yeah! Believe it!" Naruto chanted. Kagome smiled and made the boy take a seat next to her and rolled up his sleeve, preparing her injection needle.

"Okay, I want you to count to three okay?"

"Okay..."

"Ready.. Go!" As Kagome injected, the little boy started counting.

"1... 2..."

"I'm done~!" Kagome annonced happily. "Did it hurt a lot?" Kagome asked as she place a small cotton band on his arm to prevent any bleeding.

"Nope! I will become a great ninja! Just you wait!" The little boy exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Naruto punched his fists in the air.

"Well, we'll be leaving then." Kagome said to their sensei in charge, as Sakura helped her tidy everything and pack them back into their bags. Sasuke stood from the wall that he was leaning on and followed them, as they walked out the door, they all gave the class a cheerful wave and the children waved back too. Then the door slammed shut.

"I wonder if we were like that when we were their age..." Sakura wondered on the way back.

"Hn. Probably. Everyone changes as they grow up." Sasuke replied. He, out of everyone has changed the most. And he didn't really want Kagome to know his dark past and his horrible truths, his already bloodied hands, of how many lifes he must have taken away. Will Kagome still accept him after he told her all that? Surely she won't, seeing as the village and others reaction on his return to Konoha. Himself, now known as a 'Uchiha Traitor'. Only Kagome who was kind enough to treat his injuries and saved his life. Yes.. Only Kagome would, she, not knowing anything, pure, innocent and kind. She's like an angel sent from above. So Kagome must definitely not know about his past... Never... Sasuke quickly shrugged it off.

"But Naruto hasn't changed at all." Sakura stated.

"WHAT!? YES I HAVE!" Naruto exclaimed. "I have gotten stronger and I saved all of you! I'm going to be Hokage one day! Believe it!"

Sakura smiled. As she knew deep down that Naruto has changed a lot. From a little prankster to someone you can deeply trust and rely on. He's gotten a lot more stronger and the whole village respects him. He truly is a hero. Sakura sighed... As for Sasuke... she doesn't know what to think of him, he just came back, one thing she's really glad for but then again, he hasn't really changed. He's still the cold Sasuke. But he seems a bit warmer towards Kagome. Sakura's thoughts were interupted by Kagome as she spoke up.

"You two wait outside, while I go return the stuff." Kagome said. The two guys nodded and waited outside.

"And don't fight." Kagome warned. The two guys just glared at each other instead. Sakura followed Kagome in. Kagome walked in and returned all the stuff to the nurses in charge. She then went to knock on Tsunade's office.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Come in."

Kagome opens the door and walks in. As usual, Tsunade was lost in a pile of papers again. She only looked up when Kagome was right in front of her desk.

"Oh, Kagome. So how was it? Were the kids fine?" Tsunade asked, looking up from her heap of papers.

"Yes, very indeed. None of them had caught the flu so all I needed to do was give them the injections to prevent it." Kagome finished with a smile.

"Is that so...? That's great, thank you."

"If there aren't anything that you require of me then I shall leave."

"Yes yes... you may leave, thanks for your hard work today."

"That's alright." Kagome bowed and left, closing the door shut behind her.

Sigh now that the most important part is done, I can relax a bit... Kagome thought.

"Where are we going now?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know. I've done my part for today." Kagome replied biting her lower lip. Just then they heard a low grumble coming from Naruto's stomach.

"Oh my! It's 1pm already! That injection thing must have taken the whole morning. And I didn't even realise it! You guys must be hungry! Come on! I'll treat you all to ramen." Kagome exclaimed.

"YAY THANKS KAGOME CHAN! YOU'RE THE BEST!" Naruto shouted. Sasuke just 'hn'ed and followed them to Ichiraku's Ramen shop.

"MHMMMMM~~~~" Naruto hummed as a huge bowl of steaming hot ramen was placed in front of him. And soon he gobbled it down. Kagome watched amused as Naruto ate his 7th bowl of ramen. He wiped his mouth on his sleeve and gave a satified grin.

"Full?" Kagome giggled.

"Yeah!" Naruto punched his fists in the air. Sakura sighed. Kagome reached into her white purse to get money, just as she was about to pass the money, Sasuke's hand held her back, instead he payed the bill for her.

"Eh?" Kagome questioned.

"My treat." Sasuke muttered. Kagome smiled and gave him a hug.

"Thank you!" Sasuke blushed slightly...

"Hey don't touch my Kagome!" Naruto yelled, angry. Sasuke got a hug and not him.

"Well, incase you can't see very well, Kagome HUGGED me FIRST. So it wasn't me who touched her first." Sasuke smirked.

"Guys! Cut it out!" Kagome said. Sakura sat there, slightly jealoused.
