A young girl burst through the massive doors of the office of her sensei, who was slaving away over paper work. She heard him grumbling to himself about it never being done.

"I have great news!" the girl beamed. The older blond haired man looked up from his desk, annoyances written across his face.

"Please knock and wait to be allowed in, Haruko, this isn't a place you can just barge into, do you want the ANBU all over your ass?" he snapped, his temper already short thanks to the overload of work.

"Depends on which ones you sick on me, there are a couple masks I wouldn't mind if they put their hands where ever they want," the brown haired, hazel eyed girl answered, with a hint of mischief in her eyes as she strutted up to the desk. The man rolled his eyes, his student sure had a mouth on her.

"Whats this news?" he asked sorting through papers on his desk. His life had drastically changed since he had taken over as Hokage. The previous Hokage had been helping him less and less as she thought he was getting the hang of his new responsibilities, something he was happy about but at the same time not.

His student, turned assistant, and now torturer, bounced around the desk, her smile was from ear to ear. She was enjoying herself too much, it had the Hokage a little worried when she was this happy.

"I heard a rumor this morning," she teased, in a tone ringing with excitement.

"You know what I say about rumors," he mumbled not taking his eyes off his desk.

"They can't be trusted but should always be looked into anyways," she recited.

"You like to use my words against me don't you?" he scoffed, but was secretly impressed with his student.

"Its the only reason I ever listen to you," she shrugged.

"Well, what is it?" he grumbled, he couldn't help but play along with her little games but he was growing impatient.

Just then a boy jumped in through the window.

"Sensei, have you heard?" he asked sounding almost worried about his teacher.

"I was here first, I get to tell him! You say one word and I will break every bone in your body and then heal them so they can't be put back together ever again!" the young girl threatened shaking a fist at the intruder. She liked the boy but he was jeopardizing her fun.

The boy held up his hands in submission knowing not to risk it.

"She'd do it too," the man chuckled darkly.

"I know," the boy muttered under his breath.

"Anyways, the rumor I heard was that a pink haired ninja was back in the leaf, not any pink haired ninja but the one who trained under the former Hokage to become one of the best medical ninja in the leaf, and broke the current Hokage's heart into teeny tiny pieces," Haruko taunted with pure glee in her voice. If he didn't know better he would think she was part demon.

The current Hokage stopped his shuffling of papers to look at the girl then to the black haired boy who had received the threat, he nodded in confirmation of the what the girl said to be true. The Hokage hadn't thought about her in a long time, now she was going to come back into his life. Not much he could do about it, so he continued on in his work.

"Really? That's all I get? No declarations of love or revenge. No throwing paper off your desk in a fit of rage. No jumping up and down like a love sick puppy. I get nothing for my time? Absolutely nothing?" Haruko fumed.

"I'm very busy right now, if you wanted a reaction you should have gone and informed Ino," he replied in a dull voice, trying not the give the girl the satisfaction she desired.

"Who do you think I got my confirmation from? She'd already seen her," she grumbled, feeling rather defeated by his lack of response.

"Arashi, do you know her whereabouts now?" he asked the boy.

"Last I heard she was on her way here," Arashi answered quickly, not wanting to cause any trouble.

"Please let me stay and watch," Haruko begged, a new hope lighting in her eyes. Watching her sensi squirm was one of her favorite pass times. It was getting harder and harder to make him uncomfortable but a new opportunity was presenting itself without her having to lift a finger to make it happen. She refused to let it pass her by. The possibility of fireworks and explosions was too great for her to not stoke the flames.

"Go get me some tea," he ordered. It was a simple request but one he used often to get some peace in his office. He needed to take a breath and Haruko wasn't one to back down. Arashi slipped out of the office the way he came sensing what his teacher needed.

Heading to his office was not where he expected her to be so soon. She had been gone so long that he figured it would be a few more days before she even let him know she was even in town. Whatever brought her home must be important. Haruko was taking her sweet time with his tea. He normally wouldn't mind but he was already dealing with a short temper due to the work overload now another thing was added to his stress.

There was a knock at the door, he yelled "enter" without looking up. "Did you get lost along the way?" he grumbled still not bothering to look up from his desk as the person enter the room.

"I got lost a few times but I think I found my way again," was the reply from a feminine voice but not the voice of his unruly student. He looked up to see the pink haired girl he loved had grown into a beautiful woman.

"Sakura," he gasp, taken back by her presents.

"Hello, Naruto," she smiled, "its been a while."
