[After Luceti Valley fades away, Sakura spends a couple days hunting down her patients, healing anyone who asks for it, trying to wrap her head around the changes she went through, trying to reestablish herself as Haruno Sakura, medic-nin of Konoha.
But when the morning dawns, two days after Luceti returned to normal, Sakura is gone.
A week or so passes, with no Sakura in evidence. And then...]
[Action - By the river]
[That sure is a yelp, a flash of white, and a very loud splash as Sakura lands squarely in the river. For a second she sinks, too startled at the abrupt change of scenery to react, and then she starts kicking toward the surface, the skirt of her dress clinging around her legs and interfering with the movement. It'd be tempting to take a kunai to it... if she had one on her. As it is, she doesn't . Whoops.
She breaks the surface, gasping and shaking water out of her eyes, then pauses to stare at the village, a scowl on her face.]
Really? Really? I get sent home for all of an hour at best, and then this again?
[There are a couple visible changes to her -- her hair has lost all the black and red dye again, back to its normal pink from root to tip, and there's a blue diamond mark in the center of her forehead now, one that will look awfully familiar to any Konoha-nin who know her teacher.]
I guess I should be grateful. [She snorts] At least it isn't the dead of winter this time.
[Video - A little later]
[Sakura's dry and dressed again, and she takes to the journals, flipping through it for a long moment to figure out just how long she was gone. Not long -- a matter of days, she guesses, maybe a week or two -- but sure as heck longer than she was home!]
Hey everyone. I'm back. Guess they just couldn't do without me after all.
Hinata - I hope you haven't given my room away in a week! [She's trying to make a joke, okay. Even if coming back from the battlefield again makes joking the last thing she wants to do.]
Sasuke... I'd like to talk to you at some point.
[A flash of something unreadable crosses her face, and then she shakes her head.]
Everyone else... well, I hope you didn't miss me too much!
