Love is a Battlefield.
Review:
Sakura Haruno has been dreading the meeting of telling Sasuke how she feels. But what happens when Sasuke wants to talk to her first? How will she react? Who will she go to afterwards? Rated M for Language, Violence, and Lemons.
A/N: First Naruto fanfic, no flames please. Oh, and I know it's short. Just a starter.
"I don't love you. I can't love you." A males voice said, rough, cold.
The female's eyes opened wide, the green irises contracting. "What?"
The male sighed, and shrugged. "I know you like me, Haruno. I'm telling you now, before you get anymore devoted, and get hurt later. You're a great team-mate, even a good friend, but no more."
This was the most she ever heard him speak. She went to open her mouth to protest, but she didn't. "Your right. I do like you." She could tell he was shocked, since he was expecting a protest from her. "But it was just an infatuation."
He was taken quite aback, surprised that she would admit it. He nodded. "See you around then, Sakura." He said, before giving a slight wave, and walking away.
'Haruno Sakura. Second best female medic-nin. Complete loser.'
She sighed, and once he was out of sight, she wiped the tears from her eyes. After calming down, she walked to the training grounds, unaware of her silent watcher. She started laps first, to ease her body into the rough training she would be doing. She then targeted the trees with her kunai, as she ran. It was then she noticed chakra around her. Her automated response was to throw one of her kunai. She smiled as she saw the messy silver hair of the copy ninja, holding the kunai from his face, with the normal bored and lazy expression.
"Sensei." She bowed slightly, relaxing her stance. She saw him sigh.
"I'm not your sensei anymore, Sakura-chan." He replied. "We are of equal status, me being a elite jounin, and you, the best medin-nin. That's not a lie, considering Tsunade taught you herself. And she doesn't train just anyone. You're her favorite, you know."
Sakura blinked her vivid green eyes.. "A compliment. The first I have ever heard from you." She stated sarcastically.
He laughed. "You are the best out of Team 7. And for that, I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to you. I thought you were just going through your rebellious stage, but I can see you have turned into a great jounin. I should have realized your potential, over the boys."
Her breath hitched, but she covered it up. "You, apologizing? One would think you have a heart."She was trying to be funny, but his greyish eye screamed seriousness. "Kakashi?"
"I do have a heart Sakura."Was the words he said, before he threw her kunai to one of her target trees, then opened his Icha Icha: Paradise book, and walked away.
Sakura went to gather her kunai…
CLASH! CLANG! BANG!
"Wake up to lazy louts!" Kakashi said to the now awaking ninja's of his group, as he hit together the pots in his hands.
"Oi, Kakashi-sensei, stop that damned noise! We are up!" Yelled the blonde headed.
"You shouldn't be talking Naruto.." Said the cool, and calm dark head, as he threw a kunai at the blonde from under a blanket.
"Take that back Uchiha!" The blonde yelled before leaping, and tacking down the darker headed one. In the background, the last member of the group got up and went around the camp, like a maid, cleaning up the blankets, tents, and pots, all without a word. That same person placed the four packs beside each other near a tree before walking to the stream to clean up a bit.
Kakashi noticed this. It seemed every morning was the same. He sighed as he broke up the fight between the boys. He then shouldered his pack, passed Naruto his, and watched as Sasuke picked his own bag up. Sakura, he noted, had gone missing for a moment, before he saw it fly threw the air, and land in Naruto's hands.
"Oi, Sakura, carry your own bag." He said loudly. Kakashi saw her hands clench.
"Naruto," He heard her say. She turned around; her green eyes brimmed with anger.
"Do you know what I do everyday? I clean up after you, and Sasuke, and sensei every morning while you have at it. I think it's fair you can do some work."
"But what about Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"He doesn't start the fights." She replied. She noticed Sasuke give her a small smile of gratitude from the corner of her eye.
Kakashi broke up the verbal fight. "Lets go." He said, before jumping into the tree-tops. Sakura and Sasuke followed, Naruto trailing behind them.
"Sakura," Sasuke said as he jumped beside the pink haired ninja, "I will carry your pack time to time too. I do taunt him to the fights."
"Appreciated. I just like seeing Naruto suffer. But, if you want, go ahead." She replied. She then sped up to catch up with the elite jounin ahead of her.
Sasuke smiled inwardly. He would have to put his plan in motion soon.
A/N: HAHAHA Cliffy!
And yes; I plan on making the next few chapters uber long. :3
