Her face flushed once again when Ino embraced her, oh no she did not deserve such praise... Shizune was only Sakura's nurse and Tsunade's apprentice--- Tsunade was the one who deserved this, not her!
"Thank you, Ino-chan. Do you mind if I call you that? But the one who you should really be thanking is sound asleep at the moment... she's been gambling to no end once again" A smile graced Shizune's lips before she nodded her approval at Kiba. "I'll make sure of that Kiba-kun".
Though, she didn't expect for her phone to actually ring, grabbing the nusciance from her pocket, the stunned woman sighed deeply when she re-read the words of "I.O.U Tsunade" across her screen. "Excuse me for a moment..." Running towards the nearest tree at such speed, Shizune answered the vibrating phone only to be greeted with a loud voice belonging to Tsunade, herself.
"Tsunade-sama, Please stop shouting... I was just talking to... wait what? You need my assistance...? Another I.O.U, I presume? Did you sneak out of the 'betting cage' without paying your all? How many times do I have to tell you?" The black haired woman was frantically stressing on this phone of hers before compromising with Tsunade.
"Listen... I'll be there soon, they're not calling up yet, ...right? Well, don't you worry, I'll have the money ready--- and would you like to speak with Sakura-chan? Uhm, okay then... I'll tell her what you've said"
Walking back over to the group, a nervous laugh escaped her lips before she scratched the back of her head. Looking over at Sakura, Shizune could tell that she knew exactly what was going on. "Heh, she's a bit busy at the moment... but Tsunade-sama wished to say 'Heya' and to see exactly how you were feeling, Sakura-chan" Nodding her head in disapproval afterwards, Tonton snorted with the same emotion.
"Oink..."

Ino smiled as the black haired woman returned. She sure seemed to be a shy person. She blushed about everything. But she seemed like a extremely nice person. She wouldn't mind becoming friends with someone like her.
She walked over to the woman and gave her a smile. "You can call me whatever you want, but Ino-chan sounds nice." She said smiling. "As long as you don't call me like forehead here likes to call me.." She exclaimed glancing at Sakura.
She then tilted her head and smiled widely. "I can't wait to meet this Tsunade person. I need to thank her for helping my friend!" She exclaimed as she walked over to Sakura, before putting an arm around her shoulder.

Sakura had smiled approvingly towards Ino, but Kiba-kun had captured her attention first. Clubs? Oh... She really hadn't thought about that yet. "I'll have to see what the school has to offer, so I'm not sure." She smiled apologetically to Kiba, she just got here so it was hard to make her mind up about anything. "When I do decide to join one, you'll be the first to know, mm'kay?"
Ah, and then the phone call. Immedietly Sakura sensed that it was Tsunade-sama, and when Shizune stated talking her feelings were confirmed. I.O.Us again? A bemused and knowing expression fluttered across her face, and when Shizune hung up she knew she could read it well. Yes, did Sakura ever know what was going on.
"Tell her I've never been better, and tell her thank you once more. You too, Shizune." She walked forward, her arms slowly embracing Shizune into a hug. "See ya around." She let go and crouched down to Tonton's level. "You too." Giving the pig a pet on the head, and recieving a happy oink, Sakura stood right back up. The moment she did, she felt Ino's arm go around her shoulder.
"Oh, you'll like her." She assured the blonde, smiling proudly at the thought of her shishou. She wasn't too proud of her gambling habits but hey, everyone had a vice.

Ino smiled as she released the pink haired girl from her hold. "I'm sure I will...everyone who helped you to get better, is a friend to me. I don't know what I would do if you wouldn't have returned, girl." She said as she took Sakura's hands in her own, before smiling at her.
She couldn't believe how much the girl had changed. She looked so pretty with her short hair and her more matured body. She'll be as popular as herself, or even more. And that after all that has happened. Sakura had become strong, very strong. She wondered how the girl had pulled through those experiences and how her road to recovery had been, just as she wanted to know a lot more about the girl. Wait..that was it!
She titled her head and smiled. "Hey Sakura, we really have a lot to talk about. Are you free thursday and friday?" She then giggled a bit. "My parents are gone for the week, so I have the whole house for myself. So maybe we could have one of those sleepovers we always used to do. You know, it'll be just like old times and we'll be able to talk all we want."

"We do." Sakura agreed. There was plenty to talk about, Sakura had a lot of questions for Ino herself. She shifted back to Kiba for a moment, trying not to disclude him while they spoke of girl-related things. Yeah, sleep overs were one of those female oriented activities. He wouldn't be too interested in that. "We have stuff to talk about to, though we can save that for when I come over, right?" She winked, a small smile in place.
"Thursday or Friday... Hmm, I'm not busy either of those days so it's all up to you. Just, I'd rather it be at your house." That was right, Sakura still wasn't quite used to her own house again, and since it was filled with memories of her dad she wanted to wait until she was really settled down before inviting someone over.

Ino smiled softly as she placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder. She had to be thinking about her father if Ino still knew her friend well enough. And she had to be adjusting to her old home as well. So it was only natural that she didn't want people to come over so soon.
"Hey, no problem! I haven't had people over in the longest anyways and it can get quite lonely in that big place." She exclaimed giggling. It was true. Mosdt of the time she was all alone, because her parents were working until late and even if they were home there just wasn't some kind of family feeling. A slight frown came upon her face, but she quickly replaced it with a smile. "I can't wait. I have so much to ask you and so much to tell you, girl!"

Kiba scratches the back of his head nervously thinking *Wow, this is really awkward. I really don't have much reason to be here, but I really don't want to leave because I want to talk to Sakura-chan......but shes talking with Ino-chan and I don't want to interrupt....And she is going to come and visit soon anyway....maybe I should just make my leave now....yea that sounds like a good idea.* he thinks as he stands there.
"Well!" he says loudly trying to get everyones attention "I better get going, cuz Akamaru is definably missing me alot now." he says with a grin before looking at Sakura "Its good seeing you again Sakura-chan, when are you going to stop by so I can tell Hana?" he asks before looking over at Ino "Oh and Ino-chan......wait never mind, I forgot what I was going to say." he says before laughing. "Anyway, I'm off, see you cats later!" he says before starting to run off giving the group of girls a double finger bang with a wink before grinning as he starts to "free run" his way home.

Sakur watched him sprint off, smiling and waving back to his little farewell. "Probably on Wednesday!" She called out to his previous question, which she didn't get the chance to answer. "Say 'Hi' to your family for me!" Her waving slowed down as he moved farther and farther away, and her hand droppe to her side. It was nice talking to him again, but he tended to act pretty shy around her. Well, not quite shy, but not as hyper and as open as she knew he could be. Ah well, she didn't dwell on that now.
"Oi, Ino pig." she teased her pretty friend, taking her hand once more. "I'm afraid I was just visiting the park on my way. I have to go to my Aunt's house, my whole family wants to see me or something. You know how it is." She rolled her green eyes while grinning, showing her exaggeration at that. Her mother was probably already there, but that was okay. It wouln't be too big a deal if she was late. "So I'm afraid we really will have to save the talking for later. I'll call you, same phone number right?"

Ino couldn't help but laugh as the hyperactive boy runned away. Sometimes he acted so much like Naruto, but still he had been acting very nervous today. It probably had something to do with Sakura's return to the city. It had taken her by surprise as well after all. It almost made her break down completely. And Ino knew that Kiba had a small crush on the pink haired girl as well. So it must have been a nice surprise for him as well.
The blonde ignored the 'pig' comment as Sakura took her hand in her own again. She smiled at her words as she slightly tilted her head. "Well, I can understand that, forehead. After all, they must have missed you tremendously as well. Because I know I did..." She said trying to keep her smile on her face.
She then nodded her head as a way of answering her question. "Yeah, still the same number. So you can call me anytime, although I would appreciate it if you wouldn't call me in the middle of the night." She added smiling.
She then smiled a brilliant smile. "Well then, go on, Sakura. Don't let them wait any longer, ok?" Shen then suddenly took a step foreward and kissed the pink haired girl on the cheek. She blushed as she quickly backed off. She had no idea why she had done it. She kind of did it without thinking. But somehow she didn't mind it at all.
She nervously smiled before titling her head once more. "Talk to you later~"

Surprising or not, the kiss to her cheek did not phase her. It did startle her a little, but as for the action itself there was nothing weird. Girls did stuff like that, right? So she merely smiled back in response to that, chuckling at her own little private joke.
"Kay Ino, if you say so." She winked, then started to walk ahead. Then she looked back suddenly, as if just remembering something.
"Oh, I forgot to say, if you hear from your parents say Hello for me."
Sakura knew that Ino had problems from her parents, but she always urged her to talk (not yell) to them a bit more--to demand the attention and to make it known that she was a strong girl. If there were times Ino wanted to get away from home, she was always welcome at Sakura's house. It was odd, because Sakura actually liked the Yamanaka's. Ino must have lived with a different side of them then Sakura was used to seeing.
She blew a kiss towards Ino, like it was in retribution to the one earlier. She laughed, then waved.
"Alright, alright. I'm going." And so, she headed for her little family reunion.

Ino smiled as the girl walked away, but frowned a bit when she mentioned her parents. She knew that Sakura wanted her to talk to her parents more. But she had tried everything to make the situation better. Her parents just didn't want to listen to her. She sighed, but quickly got rid of the thoughts as she waved at the girl.
Ino smiled when Sakura blew her a kiss...and somehow it made her blush a little bit as well. What was going on with her. She just shook it off. It had to be because she hadn't seen her for so long. She smiled and turned around, walking back home. She couldn't believe that her best friend was finally back....she was home again...
