A young woman stood looking out over the expanse of Konoha holding her breathe, Sasuke-kun would be returning soon she knew it she felt it in her bones. Her best friend had informed her not a few moments ago that team 7 was headed to the hospital right this minute with its precious burden of the Last Uchiha all thanks to one Uzumiki Naruto the Kyuubi vessel. Behind her 5 others had joined her vigil with varying degrees of girlish squeals and happy chirping an hour before sun set the group was rewarded with its first sight of the returning team. It was depressing to say the least, two stretchers were being carried both boys lay on them though one wore a mask of disgruntled displeasure at being carried, his voice carried to the waiting group.
“OI Sakura-chan I can walk I don't need to be carried this is humiliating!” The coughing fit that followed had the pink haired Kounichi at the blondes' side healing green chakra hovering over the boy's chest.
“Naruto baka, just rest you `chakra' needs time to heal too and your leg is broken.” Yes the medic nin was well aware of the girls watching them as they trekked to the hospital and she was mindful of her words. As the young man slipped back into sleep she checked her other walking teammates over before heading back to Sasuke. Her thoughts ran back to the fight Naruto had once again taken the brunt of the attack then the rush of removing the curse seal from Sasuke's neck with the Kyuubi's chakra had sorely depleted the blonde Rokudiame he was still to close to dieing himself all for some one else. Sakura reflected on all this as the group made it to the hospital, Tsunade-sama meet them at the door taking charge of her little brother she left the care of the Uchiha to her apprentice.
 
Several hours later Sakura was splitting her time between two rooms and writing in her journal. The last entire was just 1 year ago she had been so anger when she had put her thoughts in writing still was to a certain degree, but the intensity was draining away slowly as she looked at their sleeping faces. On her second trip between Naruto's room and Sasuke's Kakashi stopped her with gentle words.
“Sakura-chan you should get some rest your self.” She smiled tiredly at her old sensei and friend before shacking her head.
“Not yet I wont to make sure I am here when they wake up. I love them.” He just nodded.
“Then I'll stay too.” She didn't argue with him nor did she comment when within 30 min's of there arrival at the hospital Iruka-sensei had taken vigil in Naruto's room on the fold out bed. She slipped through the door of the blonde's room to find Tsunade straightening up for giving the sleeping boy a kiss on the forehead a single tear hitting his peaceful face.
“Brat.” A well of love and protectiveness in that one word. Sakura grinned then made herself comfortable in the other chair, the Hokage nodded her head at the girl as she made her way out the door. Sakura turned the page of her journal to the last entire, “It's like flipping a coin,” she sighed. Yes it was a flip of the coin one that had finally worked in their favor.
