Title: Meltdown
Summary: Because two ice cubes are hot headed. Because the fox and the hound can never be friends. Because fruits and fruit-flies aren't the same. Because flowers will someday wilt. Because, well, just because. Sakura Centric.
Disclaimer: I ain't a thief. Only the plot is mine.
They're idiots. Because, well, just because.
Meltdown
As boredom silently crept on the life of Haruno Sakura, chaos ensued Konoha. She sat quietly on her bed watching puffy white smoke invade the sky. Seriously, she swore, Shikamaru's lazy antics were rubbing off on her. The thought of the pineapple haired boy made her chuckle. She wondered how Ino could possibly put up a conversation with him.
Sigh.
Tsunade had given her a week long break from all the consecutive A rank missions she completed. The twenty year old medic tried to refuse the Godaime but the elder woman insisted, stating that it was good for her social life.
Sakura frowned at the thought. She had a social life! Or so she thought. Surely all the nurses in the hospital were her friends. But...
She closed her eyes, not wanting to admit that the blond drunkard was right. Her social life was a mess. But weren't shinobi supposed to do their duties first before entertaining personal problems? Sakura wondered what the woman was up to. Realizing that she had been forced to take a break stirred suspicions.
Brushing the idea off she wondered about what she was gonna do for a whole week. She guessed she could go and visit her friends. Surely Hinata wouldn't mind spending the day with her. But then, Hinata was busy at the hospital. Sakura shrugged. Ever since Sakura started talking to the girl about the work in the hospital, the Hyuuga Heiress had volunteered to help out in the hospital. In the long run, she got to be a medic nurse.
Hmm...
Then what about Ino? Running the flower shop. Tenten? Probably busy with her weapons and stuff. Actually, they weren't really that close. Spending time with her might be a little awkward. Temari? She's in Suna. Probably with her brothers. And she really didn't know the fan Meister that much. So... who?
Knock! Knock!
'A visitor? Who could it be?' she thought as she got up and headed to the door.
Turning the knob she was surprisingly greeted by Naruto's grin as he pushed to open the door fully. Sakura's reflexes made her jump back to avoid the collision between her nose and the wood.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto embraced her tightly.
"NARUTO-BAKA!" Being too close to comfort, the whiskered blond met with a chakra enhanced fist that sent him flying 50 feet over the air.
After crashing on the ground with a loud THUMP Naruto ran as fast as he could to Sakura's house. Staring at his pink haired friend he gave her a thumbs up to assure her that he was okay. In return, the kunoichi rubbed her temples and decided to give him a small smile.
"Sakura-chan, you're so harsh." Naruto joked.
"Well, you were sexually harassing me, idiot." she laughed as she held her stomach.
Naruto gave a light chuckle and smiled at her. It had been a month since they sat down and chatted. She was so busy taking orders from the Hokage and he was busy with ANBU missions.
"Oh, hey c'mon in." she gestured as he stepped inside and got comfortable on her sofa.
"So, Naruto, what brings you here?" she asked after closing the door and seated herself opposite from him.
"Well, you see, Sakura-chan, we're gonna go on a trip to an Island resort called Yomi, in Rock country and the guys and I were wondering if you wanna come with us." Naruto fidgeted.
"Oh, well, don't you guys have missions or something? You know, Naruto, it's not good to be sneaking out and not do your duties as an ANBU, especially when Itachi-nii-chan is your captain."
Sakura smiled at the thought of Itachi. The man had grown quite fond of the kunoichi and offered her to call him her onii-chan. At first, Sakura felt that the Uchiha was acting all pedophile-like, but then she had grown accustomed to calling him that. Everyone knew about how his and Sakura's close relationship and were aware of them calling each other with familiarity. The majority found them cute though some, obviously referring to the younger Uchiha, found them disturbing. Or annoying. Either he had a brother complex or... impossible. He definitely had a brother complex. Or so they thought. (OKAY. We're getting way off topic here. Haha. Now. ON WITH THE STORY!)
"Actually, teme's brother all gave us guys a break. And now we're planning on our vacation!"
"But what about the other girls?"
"We already asked them and they couldn't come 'cause they had lots of stuff to do."
"Oh yeah, well, count me in!" she flashed him a smile.
"Yosh! Sakura-chan! You are in for the greatest vacation in your life!" Naruto grinned as he made his way to the door.
"Oh and, uh, pack your bags. We're goin' tomorrow." and with that Naruto left an unsure Sakura with a disturbed expression.
"I HOPE I didn't do something I'd sooner regret." she said to herself as she paced around looking for her travel bag.
