But people are being kidnapped and Sakura's got to learn to play nice with the newbie, Sasuke Uchiha, if she's going to survive finding the culprit.

Returning from an extended mission, Sakura finds Sasuke back in the village, and is forced to examine her past feelings and actions, her present state, and how she could possibly move forward with a life that now has Sasuke in it.
