I do not own naruto or the characters...

-Are you going to train with us or just sit there?

He heard from far a voice calling him. So far that it seemed like just a sweet melody. Her voice was loud but in the same time a music to his ears. He used to think she was a brat, an ugly young lady. Why doesn't he think so anymore? He learned to not have any emotion, to remain stone to any situation.

-YO SAI!! CAN YOU HEAR US??

This voice was different. The little blonde kid was still a brat and a disturbance to his thoughts. He stood up and left everything on ground close to the tree. He walked slowly toward his team and faked a smile. He looked at her. She turned away from him. Was it his fake smile that she reconized and that she disliked? The brat stared at them and seemed confuse:

-Um... ok... huh? What's the problem this time? Did he say something bad to you Sakura?

-No Naruto. Nothing is wrong either. I'm just feeling really tired.

Still confused, he pulled Sai toward a darker part in the forest and asked:

-Explain!

The dark hair of the Root Anbu were blown by the wind and a faked smile appear.

-What do you want me to explain, Naruto?

-Yamato... I want to go home and rest. I don't feel so good.

Her captain stared at her. She wasn't this type of person and she barely trained... Was there something wrong between her and Sai? She called him here first... It was just weird the way they acted.

-Sure Sakura... Go ahead... I'll wait for the boys to get back here.

-Explain what?? WHY isn't Sakura talking to you anymore!? Why are you looking at Sakura all the time??

-I don't know.

Naruto hated it. He hated Sai's fake smiles and his short answers. He cared about Sai, though. Sai was going through a hard time not having emotions.

-Can't you develop a little more? Why don't you know? Are you in love with her or what?

Sai kept silence and stopped smiling.

-They say that love is a good feeling that warms your inside. I can control my feelings on the outside but I cannot in the inside. Does that answer your question?

-HUH?? Explain!

-It means maybe I do.
