Purple-eyed Sai
It was a warm, sunny day of spring. Everything was normal, even I was normal today. I know, that sounds strange, but I, Haruno Sakura, can be normal. Creepy thing, eh?
Anyway, as I was saying, I was in a good mood and planning to remain happy the whole day. But, as life hates me, I wasn't going to. Ugh, life can be such a bitch sometimes!
I woke up at 8 in the morning. "Such a nice day!" i said to myself. "What are we going to do today?" my inner asked me. "Training with the boys, a few hours at the hospital, report to Tsunade-shishou and the rest of the day off. Pretty good, huh?" "You call this good?! Geeze, we work to much! If I could only control the body...." my inner said then went somewhere in the back on my head.
I got out of bed and walked mechanically to the bathroom. 1 hour later i was ready to leave. I went into the kitchen, grabbed a peach and went outside.
Sai POV
It was another warm day today. Good, that means Sakura will be in a good mood. I'm going to try to kiss her, like Kiba-kun told me yesterday. He also said girls like being kissed. Hmm....If this is true, then why doesn't Sakura-chan kiss anyone? This is strange....very strange.
I was awake long before the sunrise, so at 5 am I was ready to leave my house. Too early, though....Maybe I will go to the library and study something about kissing. They have to have books on this there.
(at the library, normal POV)
"Good morning Jirayia-san" a dark-haired shinobi greeted the old sannin at the front desk.
"Oh, good morning Sai. How can I help you?"
"Well, Kiba-kun told me yesterday that girls like being kissed and I plan on trying this. So, does the library have any books about this subject?" Sai asked.
"Hehehe, of course Sai, of course." the sannin chuckled. "But who do you want to kiss?" he asked adding 'Poor, girl' in his head.
"I was planning to kiss Sakura-chan"
"Sakura, eh? You know how to choose boy..." the older man said with a wicked spark in his eyes. "Here, I will give you a very interesting book, but I must warn you: the things described in this book are NOT to be tried without the proper experience" he said handing him a small book. "And one more thing, Sai. Be careful, if Sakura doesn't like this, you will suffer great injuries"
"Ah, I will be careful, Jirayia-san. Arigatou and goodbye" the young shinobi said leaving the library.
(back to Sakura, her POV)
I walked out of my modest apartment. It wasn't big, it was perfect for me, a busy konoichi. In front of the building was a big, old, sakura tree, which I liked very much. I passed by the tree and gathered a few flowers in my palm. They smelled sweetly and were very delicate.
The streets of Konoha were already busy, people coming and going. I headed towards Ichiraku's to see if Hinata and Naruto were there. As I entered the small shop, I saw 5 piles of bowls and knew Naruto was there.
"Hey, Naruto, Hinata. How are you doing?" I asked sitting near Hinata.
"Good morning Sakura-chan! Ramen?" the blond asked.
"No thanks, Naruto. I know Hinata's paying and you already ate very much. I am here just to tell you we have training in a couple of hours, so be at the training fields" I said.
"S-Sakura-chan, a-are you s-sure you d-don't want t-to eat something?" Hinata asked.
"Don't worry, Hinata, I'm not hungry" I answered softly. "Anyway, this boy here already ate for an army" I growled in Naruto's direction.
"Oi! What did I do? I'm just hungry!"
"Yes, but you're hungry on her money!" I said growing annoyed. I'd better leave or I'm going to do something to Naruto "Oh, and don't you dare be late for training today!".
I turned to Hinata and spoke in a much softer voice "I have to go, Hinata. See you later!"
After I left the ramen bar I headed towards my friend's flower shop. On the way I saw a certain lazy guy heading for the same shop.
"Good morning Shikamaru" I greeted the boy. "Where are you going?" I asked although I knew already.
"Good morning Sakura. I'm going to Ino's flower shop. I...uh....my father asked me to buy....flowers, yes, flowers!" he said. I k new he was lying,
"Ah, of course, of course..." I said snickering. Then, I walked faster, wanting to reach the flower shop before him so I could talk to Ino.
"Good morning Ino-pig" I greeted my friend.
"Morning Forehead. Wat'cha doing?" she said coming from behind the counter.
"Oh, nothing. Just came to say hi. And a little gossip, of course". We both laughed at my answer. "Anyway, I won't be staying long since you'll have company"
"Oh, really? Who?" she asked
"Shikamaru, I saw him on my way here. He said his dad asked him to buy flowers. I honestly don't believe him because he was blushing and stuttering. I think he will be here for SOMEONE more than SOMETHING" I said a chuckled. "Well now, Ino-pig, you'll find out why he came yourself. I have to go now, see you later!"
I waved goodbye to my friend and ran towards my team's training grounds. I thought I'll be the only one there as usual. I was wrong. There, leaning against a tree was Sai. Annoying, anti-social, extremely hot ...-wait, did I just think that?-.... Sai.
"Morning, Sai!" I greeted.
Sai's POV
After I left the library I headed towards our usual training grounds. No one was there yet. Surprising. Usually, Sakura was there first. Oh, well. Since I'm early, it wouldn't be bad if I did a little reading from the books I borrowed.
I finished the 5th chapter of the first volume of Icha Icha Paradise when Sakura finally came.
"Morning, Sai!" she greeted.
"Hello Sakura" I answered closing my book.
Sakura POV
He greeted me too while snapping his orange book closed. Wait- what? Snapping his ORANGE book closed. Orange, Icha Icha, book. God no! This can't be true! Who was crazy enough to give this anti-social freak a porn book?
"Uhm...Sai....What were you reading?" I asked wryly.
"Oh, this?" he answered showing me the book. It was indeed Icha Icha Paradise. "It's a book I borrowed for doing some research. Do you want to try it, too? It's pretty interesting" he said giving me a fake smile.
"No, Sai. I don't want to read that book. It's a PORN book, for Kami's sake!"
"Oh, that's what it's called? Well, I find it pretty interesting. As I told you, I read it for research"
I don't want to know what type of research. "Sai, I don't think I really wanna know, but what are you researching on?"
"Oh, I can't tell you, Sakura-chan. It would ruin the moment" he said getting closer to me.
I backed away until I hit a tree. Who was the sick person who gave SAI a perverted book? That person was going to feel my wrath. Really, I was going to kill th-
My thoughts were interrupted when Sai kissed me. K-I-S-S-E-D ME. SAI. Oh, no, he didn't.
Sai POV
I kissed her. You know, kiss, the thing you do with someone. Put your lips over the other's, trace your tongue over their lips, you know. Well, I tried that with Sakura. I was about to deepen the kiss when I felt a strong blow in my eye and I was forced to move away.
Sakura was angry. I don't know why, but she was angry and heading towards me. Uh-oh, heading towards me?! I didn't have time to move away as her fist connected with my eye. Ouch!
Sakura POV
"Hmph. YOU BASTARD, YOU KISSED ME?! OH, YOU'LL BE SO DEAD....." I said – yelled - heading for my third punch.
Just I was about to beat him to a pulp, I felt strong arms holding me.
"Sakura-chan, what happened? " asked an all too familiar voice.
"THAT BASTARD KISSED ME! KISSED ME!" I yelled in Naruto's year.
"YOU DID WHAT?! SAI, YOU ARE A HELL OF A GUY!" he said and he burst out laughing.
"What's so funny? Sai, you're lucky Naruto held me- wait, Naruto held me? NARUTOO! YOU ARE SO DEAD IF YOU DON'T LET GO OF ME!" I yelled.
"Hai, hai, Sakura-chan. Calm down" he said and let go. "So, since Sai is not able to train today, wanna go to eat something? My pay, datebayo!"
"Okay, Naruto. But don't you try the same thing or you'll be dead" I warned him then followed him towards Ichiraku's
Sai POV
Ouch. That hurt. I'm so glad Naruto held her before she could get to me. Hmm….I guess I know I should never try to kiss her again. Oh, and I have to return the book to Jirayia-san.
So, no training today. I'd better go get some ice for my eye. Ouch!
