Strange

Chapter 1

These days are a bit of a struggle for me; most wouldn't call my relationship normal, or even consider it love. But then again, not many people approve of three people being in love. It all started two weeks ago, these days team 7 went their separate ways and this week wasn't any different. Coming back from our own agendas we decided to get together to catch up, so we met at Ichiraku's. Sasuke was his usual cocky self; he was the leader of the Anbu now. Naruto was still working on the whole Hokage dream. And me? I was just Sakura, the only thing I accomplished in my time as a ninja was studying under lady Tsunade. Medical ninjutsu wasn't as hard as it looked; it just took time and patients. Over ramen we discussed recent happenings, and like always Naruto decided to be nosey.

"So Sasuke, did you ever get together with that girl you told me about?" He asked, in his usual grin.

I rolled my eyes and looked away; I had no interest in hearing about Sasuke's love life. My past feelings for him still lingered slightly. It was like no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get over him.

"That's not your business Dobe." He said.

Naruto obviously making no leeway decided to give up and turn on me.

"So how about you Sakura?" He asked looking hopeful.

His look was in vain though because I spent so much time on my practice that I had cut out most of my human interaction.

I looked away. "Sorry to disappoint." I said with a shrug.

Naruto pouted, like a girl being let out of all the recent gossip.

"Fine then, I know we all have next week off, why don't we all do something together." Naruto offered.

He was the talker in the group after all. Sasuke gave his usual 'hn', and I nodded.

"Sounds fun." I smiled.

"Okay, maybe we could meet by the gate." I suggested.

Naruto nodded enthusiastically. "Awesome, sounds like a date to me!"


The next couple of days went by in a blur, I found myself wondering what Monday would bring. I was the first one to the gate that morning; my mind was occupied on the different texts I've been studying recently. While practicing the hand signs in my head Sasuke arrived, quiet as usual. I had found a place to sit, a bench a little too familiar looking it was almost uncomfortable. The thoughts of my past with Sasuke resurfaced, bringing with it the painful memories. I was so use to being turned down that I didn't bother anymore. I felt smuggled and went out of my way to tune out his presence as he took a seat next to me.

"Sakura?" I felt a warm hand over mine.

"Huh?" I looked over at my chicken butt headed friend.

"Are you alright?" He asked, not use to my current mood.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said softly

Sasuke is not usually one to badger but….lately he had the attitude of Naruto.

"You don't seem fine; usually you are so happy to see me. Yet you have yet to even call me Sasuke-kun." He pointed out.

I looked into his onyx eyes, "Well we're older now; besides, you already seem to like someone and I don't want to be a burden." I said breaking eye contact and looking down at my shorts

"Hn. You mean that girl Naruto mentioned?" He chuckled.

"Never liked her, she liked me-" he sighed. "It was very awkward to say the least."

A cocky smile, "I much prefer seeing you smile anyway, Sakura. "

My cheeks flushed red, did he…just?!
