She always wondered about everything that concerned Sasuke Uchiha. Why he was so mysterious and seemingly pessimistic. However there was one thing, as of late, that was really bugging the Cherry Blossom's mind.

'Why does he like long haired girls?'

Was it because of something romantic or just a little infatuation of how a person looks? Today, she was going to find out. Well, she was aiming for that kind of conclusion anyway.

At team seven's training ground, two figures rested against opposite sides of a Sakura tree, ironically. Their other team mate long gone to find his source of comfort in food known as ramenand their sensei, too, was nowhere to be seen. An odd peace settled over the simple silence.

'I guess now is my chance…'

"Sasuke-kun?" she nervously tucked her now long hair behind her ears. She grew it out since the end of the chuunin exams a few months ago because she really missed it. Her hair reached about ten centimetres or so above the middle of her back.

"Hm…" a grunt in reply.

"Um, I was wondering," Sakura sat up straighter and looked around to the other side of tree where the 'god' was seated, "do you like girls with long hair?"

He craned his neck to look in her eyes, "Well, I guess so. Why…?"

She waited for a few minutes or so before answering. He turned back to his original position and slid down so that his head now rested on soft grass.

"Uh, no reason. Just that-."

"Zzz…"

"Sasuke-kun, are you awake?"

A light snoring could be heard from the pale Uchiha. Her facial expression softened. Who would have thought he'd be a fast sleeper?

She crawled over to the sleeping boy and sat down beside him, pushing a few stray locks of hair from his eyes. She became startled, however, when his hand shot up and caught her wrist. Suddenly, he was talking almost as if it were a conversation.

"Hey, mum… Don't cut your hair..."

A small smile creped up onto her face. She honestly felt not pity towards the guy, but instead, real affection.

"Why not, Sasuke dear?" she asked, giving a sugar-coating of a motherly voice to her tone. This just might work! He gave a strong tug on her wrist and she fell into his open arms, her back lying against his chest.

"'Cause you look real pretty with long hair…just like Sakura-chan, y'know, the girl in my team…" he breathed into her pink locks.

His strong arms wrapped around her stomach and waist, making the poor girl blush and almost faint.

"Ok, Sasuke, I won't cut it ever again…"her voice was strangely placid, considering she was in the arms of the boy she was in love with.

"Thanks, mummy."

The wind crept through both of their hair, playing and dancing in it like a wild otter in water. Soon enough, Sakura's breathing evened out as she too fell asleep in the stoic boy's arms. However, one thing was certain, the boy was not slumbering. He hadn't been the whole time; just to see what would happen if he told her the truth without looking like an idiot. He nuzzled his head onto her shoulder, kissed it gently, took in her floral scent and whispered into her ear "Thank-you, Sakura-chan." As he too fell asleep soundly for the first time in a long time.
