Hello guys, I don't know if a fanfic has this kind of pairing and story because I never really read fanfics that much… So if there is a fanfic that's the same as this… please tell me and I'll delete this…
Sai is in the library still reading a book about being a friend to everyone. "So I should do this and that… hmm…" he said. As he turned to the next page, he read the book "LOVE…" his eyebrows met. "Love…" he turned to the next page and started reading it. After a few minutes, he closed the book. "Love… the special bond…"
Sai started strolling around the Konoha village, still thinking about the book he'd read. He turned from side to side and see if he can find a clue about the word 'LOVE'.
"Sai!!" someone called from behind. He turned and saw Sakura with Naruto at her side.
"Sakura! Naruto! Good Morning…" he greeted.
Sakura and Naruto smiled at him "So what are you doing here?"
"Nothing… I'm just researching something…"
"Researching? About what?" Naruto asked.
Sai held out a book inside his jacket and showed it to them. "A book? So what's it all about?" Sakura asked.
"Love…" he uttered.
"Love…?" they repeated in chorus.
"Yes…" He stared at the book he's holding "This book says that Love is the special bond between two or more person. I can't understand it that much… so I'm looking for clues. He turned from side to side.
Naruto grinned at him. "Sai… you don't have to look that far." He grabbed Sakura's shoulder and said "This is what you call love…" Then Naruto planned to kiss Sakura on the cheek when Sakura's great punch stopped him. "Curse you…" Sakura shouted as Naruto flew on the near restaurant. Sai just stared at them and analyzed what just Naruto did. He mulled over "Putting a hand on ones' shoulder? Is that really love?" he whispered.
"Sakura?"
Sakura turned to him.
"Is it love between the two of you?" he suddenly asked.
"OF COURSE NOT!!" Sakura shouted. "Don't mind that perverted Naruto… Let's go far away from this place and I'll tell you the meaning of love…" She grabbed Sai's hand. "Okay!" Sai replied.
Team Gai is eating at a restaurant.
"Wow! This is very delicious…" Lee gleed after swallowing a barbecue. "Thanks teacher Gai for treating us in this nice restaurant… This is really delicious…" He said as tears rivered on his face.
"Of course… I should treat my youthful ones for our mission today is done very successfully." He said as the corner of his mouth shines.
"Oh please…" Neji and Tenten uttered.
"Anyway…" Tenten suddenly changed the topic. "… I heard that there's the rumors about the new member in team Kakashi… I heard that he's nice and very polite… so I want to see it for myself"
Gai suddenly cried. "Oh my dear Tenten… You're stepping into the world of women… Are you saying that you're looking forward to this guy?" He hugged Tenten "… I'm so proud of you my dear student…"
"Hey teacher Gai… I'm not saying that… and please let me go!!" She pushed Gai as hardly as she can. "I just want to meet him… that's all…" she defended. "Also… Don't you think that it's our responsibility to greet someone new from our village??"
"Yeah that's right… We should ask Naruto and Sakura about him and welcome him…" Lee said and brought out one of his suit. "… and I'll give him my favorite ninja suit for a gift of friendship…"
"I doubt that…" Tenten stated.
Neji suddenly stood "I have to go now…"
"What? You don't want to see Team Kakashi's new member?" Tenten asked.
"If I saw him then I'll greet him…" he said without turning back and left them.
"So rude as ever…" Tenten said.
Lee turned to Tenten. "Tenten… Do you really like to meet this guy that much?"
"Hm? What do you mean…?"
"You know… if you are looking for a nice man… I think Neji suits you more than any other guy out there…"
Tenten's face suddenly turned Red. "What? What the hell are you talking about…?" She threw lots of plates at Lee.
"Sorry Tenten… I didn't mean anything about that…"
Sakura and Sai are walking together. "So love is really the special bond… but how can you say that it is…?" Sai asked.
"Hmmm… because when you felt it to the other person… it's really hard to break it…"
"Felt? So you're feeling this to others too?"
"Of course… because that's what love is all about… an attraction between two person…"
"Attraction huh? So have you felt it to someone…"
Sakura suddenly stopped, looked on the ground and smiled bitterly. "Of course…" Then she remembered the moment when she confessed to Sasuke as he left to Orochimaru's place.
"Sakura?" Sai called him when she didn't respond.
"Ooops! Sorry… I kinda lost back there…"
Sai smiled at her. He looked down at the book he was holding "So when does it starts? How does it feel to love?"
Sakura mulled over and started walking again. Sai followed her.
"Love… When does it start…?" Sakura repeated Sai's question. "Actually… As for my experience… When I first saw Sasuke… Time stops… My heart pumped fast… it seems like it'll explode in just a second… It's as if I found something special in my life…"
'So Sasuke is the person she love…' Sai thought.
"Then… just looking at him… I feel really happy… even if sometimes… he's really rude to me…" she chuckled. "But just by thinking about him, it completes my day. It makes my heart go crazy. I can't think of anything but him… That's when I knew… I'm in love…"
'Love…' Sai turned to the book again.
Sakura beamed at him. "Does it sounds corny to you? Well, I hope you can understand what I'm saying…"
"So that's what you feel when you saw the person you love? Time stops? Heart's pumping so fast? And you'll realize that that person is someone special? Is that it?"
"Based from my experience… that's what I first fell in love… but…" She looked up to the sky "… Love comes in different ways… You can't tell the time it'll hit you… Someday, you'll just realized and say 'Ah! I'm in love…'" Sakura smiled at Sai. "Understand?"
Sai smiled at her. "I still can't understand but I'll remember that… Thank you Sakura…"
Tenten started heading home after her lunch with Team Gai. 'You know… if you are looking for a nice man… I think Neji suits you more than any other guy out there…'
She remembered Lee's words. "That stupid Lee… how can he say things like that… Stupid!!" she growled. Then she looked up at the sky "I feel exhausted… I'm gonna take a bath as soon as I got home…" Then she started walking again.
Sai is still reminiscing Sakura's definition of love. 'Love comes in different ways… You can't tell the time it'll hit you… Someday, you'll just realized and say 'Ah! I'm in love…'
He tighten his grip to the book he's holding. 'When I first saw Sasuke… Time stops… My heart pumped fast… it seems like it'll explode in just a second… It's as if I found something special in my life…'
"Somehow… it really sounds ridiculous to me… but I wonder how does it feels like…"
As he walks and reminisced, he suddenly stopped when he saw a long browned-hair girl from a distance. The girl is hanging a wet clothes in a wire. She's humming a song. He move closer to her. And when the wind blew, the girls hair danced with it.
Sai's eyes widened as he saw a beautiful being in front of him. Time stops. His heartbeat started pumping. 'What is this?' he asked to himself. The only thing he can see is the girl in front of him.
'When I first saw Sasuke… Time stops… My heart pumped fast… it seems like it'll explode in just a second…'
'Could this be…?' he thought.
When he saw Sakura and Ino for the very first time, the first word that comes into his mind is 'Ugly' but now, as he look deeper into the woman in front of him, the only thing that he can say is "So beautiful…" he whispered.
The girl suddenly turned to him. And their eyes met. Sai's heart beats faster than before. He examined the girl 'Everything was beautiful… hair… nose… especially her eyes… everything…' As he mulled over his feelings, he never realized that the girl is 10 inch away from him.
"Hey! Stop staring at me like that… That's very impolite…" the girl said.
Sai came back to reality. "A—a--ah-- h" he can't even utter a word because of their closeness 'Huh! What's this? Why am I tattering?'
"Hey… I'm asking you… Who are you?" the girl spoke again.
Sai swallowed and let out a deep breath. 'Calm down Sai…' he said to himself. He smiled and said to the girl "Sorry about my rudeness… but I just passed by and I'm new in town so…"
"New?" the girl said.
"Yeah… I'm new to the village and a new member of Team Kakashi… I'm Sai…"
"New member of Team Kakashi? Oh my… forgive me for being so rude… Call me Tenten… "
'So that's her name…'
"Nice to meet you…" Tenten grabbed his hand and shake it.
'Her hands… are very soft…' he thought. 'Calm down Sai…' "N—ni—ce to mee—ee—t you… Ms. Tenten…"
"You don't have to put the Miss… Tenten is fine… and I'm really looking forward to meet you…"
"Really…" Somehow, this makes Sai really happy.
"Ooops! I really like to have a longer time with you… but I have to go now… My mom will scold me if I don't finish this chore… so I'll meet you next time… bye!" then Tenten took the basket of dry clothes and went home. But before she walked inside, she turned to Sai and waved at him. "Bye Sai…"
He waved back at her. Hearing his given name in her own lips makes him feel great. "Right now… I knew that she's someone special…"
Author's note about the story-I don't know if Sai has met Tenten… but just imagine that they haven't… hehe… I just thought that Sai, looking for bond, should know what's the real meaning of Love that's between all the bonds… And I chose Tenten because my fave pairing in Naruto is NEJIxTENTEN and also… Sai never find Ino and Sakura beautiful… the girly types… so if I chose a tomboyish like Tenten… then the story will fit everything…
Just leave a review if you want to say anything… so bye!!
