Of Dreams and Cake
Team 7 friendship. Sakura saves Naruto from a nightmare and Kakashi learns too much. A oneshot by yours electronically.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything Naruto related.
Sakura woke to a whimper. Her eyes flashed to the sleeping form of the Uchiha. He was scowling in his sleep. 'Typical. But that leaves…' Naruto's face was contorted with fright. It looked so out of place on the normally hyperactive nin. Her brows creased in worry, Sakura reached out and placed her hand upon Naruto's forehead. Slowly, he relaxed, a serene smile growing upon his features. 'It doesn't take much to make him happy' Inner Sakura just grinned lewdly. 'Shut up.'
"A-ri-ga-to" The sound startled Sakura back to reality. She smiled gently at the sleeping blonde. Leaning down, she whispered, "You're welcome." Hesitantly the girl removed her hand. When this elicited no response, she lay back down and dropped off into a dreamless slumber.

Katon! Sakura awoke to the sound of a fireball impact. Groggily exiting the tent, the first thing she saw was Sasuke, proudly standing over newly lit fire. Normally the sight of Sasuke would brighten her day, but this morning she merely smirked at him.
"Good job Sasuke-kun. You didn't burn down our tent like the other two." The Uchiha scowled at her, but said nothing. Naruto chose that moment to stumble out of the tent, yawning. Squinting blearily, he noticed someone was missing.
"Where's Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura sighed. "Like always, he's late. " Team seven settled around the fire, drowsily gazing into the flames. Shaking her head to remove the stupor, curiosity got the better of Sakura. "Hey Naruto, what were you dreaming about last night?" The ninja in question blushed slightly.
"I walking in Konoha. Then Kyuubi attacked. He was smashing homes and killing my friends. I tried to defend everybody, but he swept me aside with one of his tails. As he was turning to eat me, an angel appeared out of nowhere. She kissed my forehead and everything went white. When I could see again, everything was back to normal." Then he scowled. "I was about to eat ramen when I woke up. Talk about bad timing."
At the mention of a kiss, Sakura smiled slightly, and laughed aloud at the end of the story. "What'd the angel look like?" Sakura asked out of a sort of morbid curiosity. Knowing Naruto, it could have been anything. "She was really beautiful…" He scowled in concentration. "Now that I think about, she looked a lot like the ramen girl." 'Of course. Whoever serves him ramen is an angel to him.'
Their conversation was interrupted by a poof.
"Yo."
Sasuke was the first to react. "So where's breakfast?"
"I gave it to a starving family I met on the road."
"LIAR!" Kakashi winced at the stereo yell. "And so today's training will be surviving in a foreign city. It is important that you complete each task as discretely as possible. Sasuke, you are to obtain lodgings." The prodigy stoically nods. "Sakura your task is to obtain food." "Yes, Kakashi-sensei." "And Naruto… you go with Sasuke."
"But Kakashi-sensei!! I'm really good at getting food!"
"Really."
"Yes! Tons of strangers gave me food in Konoha! I used my sexy-no-jutsu with clothes and I even got food from you!" Kakashi's eyes widened in horror.
"Wait… YOU'RE Toruna?"
"But why did you give me chocolate cake all the time?"
The End.
AN: I realize Sakura is a bit OOC, but I found the idea of Sasuke accidentally burning down both sakura and Naruto's tents funny.
