Stepping toward the public springs she pulled back her pink locks. Slipping off into a dressing room she began to uncloth. She grabbed a towl and small bath robe that seemed to be about her size. She slipped it over her dirty body in which was sore from training. She needed a bath badly anyways.
Her body was cut, bruised, scratched and sore from it all. Damn it Ino. She had to be so damn rough with this. After all it was only a sparring match. Not really a big fight or anything. However she doubted Ino knew it. Oh well. At least she could bath in the relaxing hot springs and get away from it all. Ino, Naruto and everyone else. She just wanted to forget everyone, but one person has never left her mind... Sasuke... Ever since he left she had never stopped thinking about him. However he was back, but in jail? Now that was just wrong.
She sighed and brushed her pink locks back slipping the band off of her head and placing it onto small rock near by. Slipping off the towl and bath rob she took three steps in toward the deeper end. Leaning against the rock she closed her emerald green eyes. Memories flooded back to her.
Sakura stood there tearing flooding from her eyes as she yelled toward Sasuke as walked away. "If you leave I'll scream and..." she was cut off when he disappeared and appeared behind her.
"Sakura..." he whispered. "Thank you.." Sakura stood there before she felt a sharp pain in her back.
"Sasuke-kun..." she whispered before her whole world went black.
Sakura's green eyes jolted open. She was breathing head before she finally calmed down. As she stood up to move toward another part of the spring she slipped backwards hitting in her head a rock. "Ow! Damn it!" She cursed as she rubbed her head scooting to the other side of the springs. Finally being able to relax she felt her pain in her body and cuts melt away, but the pain in the back of her head of still there...

A youn girl walked through the streets, coming back from training. It had been a long day, and she was ready for relaxation. She was all scratched up like anyone else would be. She rubbed her shoulder, and stretched her neck the other way. "Tsukasa went easy on me again." She mumbled. He always went easy on her, pulling his punches and all. No matter how many times she told him not to do that, he keeps doing it. She sighed and wandered up a path to her wee tent, passing by a hot springs.... Hot spring? She stopped in her tracks and turned her head in the direction of the warm/wet paradise. Hot water and a relaxing pool to go with it... nice. She changed her course and made her way up the path to the hot spring entrance.
Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out her savings from various missions.. Ahh yes, just enough for entrance and a bath. A slight smile appeared on her face as she set the money on the counter. Zetsumei filled out a form. After all the junk she had to do, she made her way down a long hall to the locker rooms. Once she entered the room, she picked out a cubby hole and set her wallet in it as she stripped from her clothes.
Steamy heat and humid air filled her lungs as soon as she entered the room. Did they have to have walls in this part of the hot springs? She nearly passed out from the over take of the heat, but eventually got used to it.
The black haired girl walked around the pools, seeing if there was one that fit her interest. It seemed unusally empty today, except a few other people. It was unusual, normaly there's a lot of woman in there. Murmuring something inaudible, she took her place in a pool with a pink haired woman. She didn't bother to say hi, like the other girl would want to talk to her anyways.
She pulled her hair back into its usual pig tails and leaned against the wall, looking up at the ceiling before closing her eyes.

Sakura had slipped into a light doze from comfort of water, but the pain in her head returned waking her up. She blinked rubbing the back of her head. Damn that hurt. She shifted around lowering her head back letting it touch the warm water. The pain seemed to calm down, but not completely.
She growled in frustration from the pain as she brought her head back up. She had felt pain worse then this, but this was just getting annoying. She sighed sinking deeper into the water only keeping her eyes and nose above it as she blew bubbles with her mouth to entertain herself. Damn she was bored... and she wanted to see Sasuke.
Someone had entered the spring. She brought her head above the water to about her neck. Maybe someone to talk to? Normally Sakura was a pretty friendly person, but her personality had changed a bit over the years. She moved back to the rock.
"Hello." She said in the best friendly voice she could hoping not to loose someone to talk to. "I'm Haruno Sakura." She hoped this girl might talk with her and start up a conversation with a fairly good subject.

Comfort at last. How she longed for something like this and didn't even know hot springs could delivere it. Her mind was cleared from all thoughts, but one thing came to mind. She heard something about a young boy being arrested and put into jail for joining Orochimaru. She'd heard about that guy, one of the legendary sannin. He scared her though she's never really met him. But now his desiple has come back? Wow. Konoha was full of drama.
"Hmm?" Zetsumei raised her head when she heard someone say hello. It was the pink haired woman. So she did want to talk to her. She blinked lazily and straighted up a bit. "Hey... I'm Ankoku Zetsumei." She said, putting a small smile on her face. Maybe she could use someone to talk to. Perhaps she could even ask her about this Sasuke... maybe not though, it might strike a nerve. She sighed, and brought an arm up to rub the back of her neck. Growing bored already, but hey, still comfortable. And now she had someone to talk to.

Sakura blinked a she waited for the answer from the girl. Her hands scanned the bottom of the spring which was mostly sand and rocks. It was somewhat bumpy. The rocks in the spring where smoothed out. They she guessed had been smoothed out so it would be easier on the guests to lean on them, but they sure as hell are hard. Sakura found that out the hard way...
She touched behind her head and winced as she felt the pain. Dang it must of made a hell of a bruise. Screw it. She was already annoyed with everything ever since they threw Sasuke in jail. Boy she(and Ino) are going to have someones head for that. Snapping back to reality she smiled sweetly.
"Nice to meet you Zetsumei." She said giving a nod. Sakura hoped, no prayed the girl had a good subject in mind to talk about. "So you here to heal or relaxe or something?" She mentally slapped herself for the dumb question. You're really loosing it Sakura.

Zetsumei raised a brow when Sakura felt behind her head. "Nice to meet you too, Sakura." She said, letting her brow back down and smiling back. "I was on my way home, when I came across this place and said 'hey why not'. Just to relax I guess." She answered, shifting a bit. The rocks were indeed hard, but she got used it. The raven haired genin looked to the side, debating on whether or not to bring up the Sasuke subject. Oh hell with it. She mentally shrugged and leaned forward a bit, then slammed her back into the rock behind her softly. For some reason this was one of her ways of finding a comfortable possition.
Scratching her arm a bit while looking down into the water, she opened her mouth to speak. "Uhm... do you know about this... Sasuke guy who got arrested not to long ago?" Oops, did that question just slip out? Way to go Zetsumei...oh well... might as well let it be asked. She mentally shrugged it off, as she looked up at the pinknette with her black-red eyes. She wore an innocent look, she felt she had to after asking such a random question about someone she didn't know, while the other girl probably had some special connection to him that no one knew about. She didn't even know why she was concerned in the first place, it was none of her business even if she did live in the village that guy betrayed.
One thing is, she remembered hearing something about the Uchiha about 2 years ago. Infact she was sure she saw him on the streets one time. Though she never bothered to talk to him, she thought it was best to AVOID the raving fangirls of his. But, now she kind of regretted it. She just thought he got killed or something, but nothing this huge. Oh well though, maybe he got what he deserved being put in that horrifiing jail there.

She nodded dumbly at Zetsumei's answer. Damn it Sakura... She mentally kicked herself this time. She sighed smiling at the girl. Running a hand through her now wet pink hair she tired to think of topic.... or wait for Zetsumei to come up with one. Either way this was going to go no where unless they came up with something.
Her emerald eyes widened as she heard her ask about Sasuke. Frowning Sakura's gaze shifted down. The memories of her, him and Naruto when they were younger flooded their mind. How they went up against Zabuza and Haku. How Sasuke was almost killed by Haku. How they had to protect the bridge builder and all. She gave a sigh not wanting to show any real weakness even through knowing that he, her childhood crush and someone she still cared about was in jail.
"He was on my team..." She said sinking slightly lower into the water. "Before he left..." She didn't want to tell her that she cared for the Uchiha. After all Sasuke still did have fangirls to run from once he got out of jail... if that is he got out... No she and Naruto would make sure he got out.

I think I made her sad... She thought. She now regretted asking that question, she just knew she might hit a familiarity nerve. Man, why her? Once again sighing she looked to the side again. "I'm sorry... I didn't think you were close to him." She said quietly. "But... for some reason I got interested in that subject... if you don't mind, could you tell me about your guy's team before he left?" Either she was trying to start a subject to talk about, or she was just really interested about it all. I should stop talking before I end up making her cry... One of her fears, making someone cry. She had no idea how to deal with that kind of stuff.
Zetsumei shifted a bit, folding her legs to the side so she sat in a more girlish way. Only to find it uncomfortable a bit later and moved back to her originall possition. I have a big mouth... I need to learn to keep my questions in sometime. Hey wait... what was this other question forming in her mind? It was off topic to what they were talking about now, but hey, probably a happier one too. "Instead of answering that, do you wanna go have lunch tomorrow?" She asked. Yea they just met, but she was the girl she has found to talk to ever since she moved out of her uncles house. She usually hanged around guys who never wanted to talk about anything, but maybe Sakura and her could become good friends.... maybe.

Sakura looked up and smiled. No weakness... She said. Showing no weakness was one way she passed those exams. "I guess you could call me one of his fangirls." She chuckled. "I do still care about him." Sakura wasn't obsessed with him like she was when she was younger, but she still did care deeply about him. He did break her heart when he left her.
Now tell her about the team? "My sensei was Kakashi. Sasuke and Naruto were always competing with each other, both wanting to out do one another." She gave a sigh. "We faced a lot of danger before Sasuke left." She of course as mentioned before was deeply hurt when Sasuke left, but she had to move on. (( My muse is fading. ;-; ))

((so is mine T-T))
She smiled abit when she saw Sakura do so. Good... I didn't make her cry... but she didn't answer my other question... oh well.. Scratching the back of her head, she smiled wider. "I thought you looked somewhat familar. I always saw pink hair in his group of fan girls." She said, laughing a bit. "Sounds like you guys had fun... before... ago... then..." Yea... time to shut up now. She really couldn't tell if she was bugging the girl. If she was, Sakura was a really good actor.
((short sorry >< ))

Sakura laughed at her answer. Her pink hair was hard to miss. She shook her head getting rid of some of the water in it. Wait... she could go see Sasuke in jail, but then again that place scared her. Heck that place could scare anyone. It was like going to hell.
"It was fun, but we nearly died a few times." She said rubbing up and down her left arm with her right hand. Her skin had started to get pruny or something like that... She wrinkled her nose knowing that it was about time to get out and maybe go snoop around a bit.

Zetsumei stopped smiling as her eyes widened a bit. "Almost? Blegh... its to be expected when you're a shinobi... I guess." She said, putting her arm down to look at her fingers. Then she noticed Sakura rubbing her arm... apparently, they were both turning into rasens. She has yet to answer my other question... am I that weird? She couldn't help but laugh a little bit at her last thought. Yea, she was weird, but in her own way. She didn't know it would reflect people either.
She slowly turned her head to look behind her, for no reasons at all. She just felt like it. Her black hair pulled on her wet skin, since it was... sticking slightly to her. Looking back at Sakura, she smiled again. "I think its almost time we got out, don't you? Unless you wanna pass out..." She said, making a weird exspression at that mensioning.

Sakura chuckled as she looking at her fingers. Too late. They were already raisins. She looked at her arms and toes that were soon becoming raisins. She began to swim toward the shallow end and grabbed a towl. "I didn't plan on passing out." She said wrapping herself in the towl as she rose out of the spring.
The water dripping from her skinny body and wet pink hair. Sakura had really grown and matured since she was younger. She had made sure the towl around her body didn't fall while she grabbed another and began to dry her hair as she grabbed the bath robe and turned to Zetsumei. "You coming?" She asked.

Zetsumei nodded, and turned around to pull herself out of the spring.She took a towel off one of the hangers there and wrapped herself in it, doing the same for her long black hair. She sighed, running her pruny fingers over the scar of her shoulder before turning back to Sakura. "Yea..." She said, putting a nice soft smile on her face. She looked down, and made her way around the pool. What a nice time. She got to relax, and already her wounds from training earlier felt better. Not only that, but perhaps she found someone to talk to every now and then.

She quickly made her way toward the changing stalls as she saw Zetsumei climb out. The young pink haired girl tried to wring out her wet hair. She shook her head letting little drops of water fly around. She saw her cloths still laying. Good. At least Naruto didn't try and steal them. She found herself an empty stall and entered it.
She bagan to dry up and down her smooth and skinny body. The water had washed all the dirt away soothed the bruises and flushed out the cuts. None seemed to hurt anymore. Every now and then she'd feel the sharp pain throbbing in the back of her head and she winced at it. Damn she must of hit it hard. At least she didn't pass out or she could've drown.
Dismissing the pain she still dried her body. When she found it was dry enough her hand reached out grabbing on of her cloths one by one. She put on her bra, underwere, shorts, shirt and everything else she had one. The only thing was her hair which was still dripping wet. She grabbed the towl and began rubbing it. It was still short so it too less time to dry.
Finally after she felt she was dry enough she stepped out fully clothed and all. She had the bath robe and two towls in her head. "Done yet Zetsumei?" She asked.
