After the Storm
By Firefall Power
Chapter One
"Don't go, Sasuke!"
"Sakura?"
"I need to tell you something, Sasuke!"
"What is it?"
"I...I'll miss you while you're gone. Be careful!"
"Uh...ok, Sakura."
Darn it. She had done it again! Her last chance to finally tell Sasuke, and she blew it! Now, Sasuke would be gone on a mission with Kakashi Sensei for a few months, and what was she supposed to do until then? She felt Ino touch her shoulder as Kakashi Sennsei and Sasuke Uchica were out of sight.
"Sakura, run!" Ino encouraged.
"No. Not with Kakashi Sensei right beside him! That would be way too embarrasing!" Sakura replied. Ino smiled and shrugged, heading back to the school with Choji, Naruto, and Neji. Sakura nodded and smiled, accepting what she was about to do with serenity. She began to run, trying to see Kakashi Sensei and Sasuke. She finally caught up to them, breathless and torn by trees and thorns.
"Sasuke!" Sakura cried. Sasuke's eyes brightened and Sakura blushed as Kakashi Sensei stared at her.
"Sasuke...please come back soon." Sakura said, and then, she did something out of the blue and felt completely idiotic. She kissed Sasuke right on the lips, and when Sasuke pulled away, his eyes burned with furious embarrasment.
"Sakura! What was that for?" Kakashi laughed. Jiraiya, who had decided to come with Kakashi and Sasuke, laughed louder than Sakura when she screamed.
"I always knew they'd end up together!" They said in unison. Sasuke hit Sakura with a Pheonix Fire Jutsu and chased off the girl, running off to hide in the trees.
