What are you doing? – Part 1

Today was one of those days you'd wish to be on vacation to enjoy the beauty of this summer day. The temperature was perfect, birds were singing happily and the kids were playing in the streets. In one word… Konoha was alive! People were busy shopping, building, working or simply hanging around the town. It was clearly not the devastated and depressing village that has once existed last year. Time had passed since the events that had happened and the villagers were now slowly having a normal life once again, just as our favourite ninjas.
"RASENGAN!"
"CHIDORI!"
In fact, Naruto and Sasuke were having their usual training session. Since Sasuke has been brought back, Naruto and him were inseparable; the blond haired boy being the only one who wasn't scare or angry with the lone avenger. As the year passed, people had started to talk to him a little more, but that was no real friendship. Therefore, the two were spending most of their time together with training or going on C or D ranked missions, since Sasuke was on probation for the next 3 years. So, today was no exception…
"Not bad Teme!" complimented Naruto while Sasuke tried to stand up from the last blow.
"Hn…"
"But I can't stay any longer…" announced the blond haired boy while gathering his belongings.
"What? And since when do you quit before a match is over?" asked the dark haired boy, finally standing on his two feet.
"Since I'm officially dating Hinata!" replied Naruto with a huge smile on his face.
"What? I thought you two were just friends lately…"
"Hummm… well… hummmm…" stammered the jinchuriki while doing little circles with his two index and blushing like an idiot.
"Sigh! Forget it, I don't want to know…"
Even after the dark haired girl had confess her feelings, it had took one year to the blond haired boy to figured out that the girl was interested and Sasuke was almost ashamed that his best friend was so dense.
"So…" begin Sasuke before his friend interrupted him.
"Well, first, I'm going home, then I get prepared, I go get her and we're going to the restaurant." explained the blond haired boy.
"Hn…" grunted the young man, while rolling his eyes.
"Awwww come on Sasuke! Don't be jealous… I'll still spend time with you!" said Naruto as he slung his right arm over the dark haired boy's shoulders.
"I'm not jealous… Idiot… I just don't know what I'm gonna do." replied Sasuke as he shove the boy's arm off of him.
"Well, Sasuke…" started the blond haired boy while putting his bag on his back, "Maybe you should take that opportunity to see other people, make new friends… You know, since you're back, you haven't spent that much time with our old friends."
"Why would I want to do that? Those guys hate me, even if I make amends it won't work." answered the dark haired boy as he crossed his arms and look away in a childish way.
"That's not true Sasuke, just give it time and put some efforts into it! It'll work. But if you don't want to see them now, maybe you could spend some time with Sakura… It's been a while since we last saw her. Was it five or six months ago? I know I saw her last week, but you, I'm not sure…"
"Why would I want to see her?" snapped Sasuke truly annoyed.
"Well, I don't know… MAYBE BECAUSE SHE USED TO BE A CLOSED FRIEND TO YOU!" yelled Naruto in horror.
"Hn…"
"Will you stop that Teme! Sigh! I don't know but maybe you could spar with her, do something, talk, whatever! Anyway, I got to go, see you later and wish me luck!" replied happily the blond haired boy.
"Hn… Have a good time…" spoke Sasuke as he gathered his things.
And with that said, the blond haired boy disappeared through the trees, leaving a wondering Sasuke behind. The young man didn't know what to do, but until he does, he decided to go home… Half an hour later and after taking a very long shower, Sasuke was completely bored. He had nothing to do and since his best friend was who knows where with Hinata, he was going to get bored for a long time.
'Maybe spending some time with Sakura wasn't as bad as I first thought… At least, it's not Ino or Lee and if it ends in fighting, at least I won't be bored anymore…' thought desperately the young man.
Sighing, Sasuke got up from the couch he was settled in and got out of his apartment, going straight at the hospital, knowing that she would probably be there. This was something new to him, since he was back, he was discovering a totally new Sakura and he wasn't sure about it. Even if Sasuke haven't seen the girl a lot in the last year, he had been able to learn many things about her, mainly from Naruto. One of those things, besides her new temperament, was the fact that Sakura was a workaholic, which really surprised him since he never would have imagine that she could turn out like that. But anyway, during the year, Sasuke have tried to avoid her most of the time and since Naruto keep feeding him, whether he likes it or not, about her, he didn't have the need to see her. Hearing about Sakura from the blond haired boy was enough for him. Besides, in the rare moments when they met, it was always awkward between them, so what was the point in forcing unnecessary meetings… More over, since she haven't oppose to that, he suppose she was fine with it. But now, Naruto was dating Hinata, which means he would have less time to spend with him and the jinchuriki had a point earlier, what was he going to do if his only friend wasn't there anymore? He had to restore his social life and he couldn't afford to continue to avoid Sakura. Therefore, he decided it was time to set things right with her, whether it went well or not. Once he reached the hospital, Sasuke went to the receptionist desk.
"Humm… Excuse me. Does Sakura Haruno work right now?"
"Oh… Humm... I don't know give me one minute. I'll go check!" replied a young brown haired girl with a blush on her face.
'My reputation must not be that bad if I still have fangirls again.' thought depressively the last Uchiha.
After two or three minutes of waiting, the girl finally got back.
"Humm… Mr. Uchiha? Miss Haruno is not working today…" answered the girl with a smile.
"Huh! Oh… Well, thank you." replied Sasuke as he leaves the building.
"Rohhhh… You're welcome! Come back whenever you want!" cooed the girl as she lean over the counter and wave her hand in a suggestive manner.
'Sigh! Those girls sure are annoying…' thought the dark haired boy.
Resuming his journey, Sasuke got out of the hospital and walk in the direction of Sakura's apartment. Five minutes later, he arrived in front of the building, opened the door and climbed the stairs to the second level. He then turn on his left, went to the apartment 204 and knock on the door. Waiting a little, the door finally opened.
"Yes?" asked in a sleeping voice the pink haired girl.
"…"
Sasuke was wordless, there in front of him was his ex-teamate, in a revealing short pyjama that was made of a tight white camisole with a plunging neckline and a pair of red short short, her hair was mess up and she had sleepy eyes. In his opinion, she was cute, stunning and sexy… Quickly recovering from the shock, Sasuke decided to talk.
"Humm… Hi."
"Huh! Sasuke?" asked Sakura as her eyes widen in shock.
"Humm yes?"
"YEEEP!" yelled back the girl before shutting the door in his face, almost taking the door out of its hinges.
'Well, at least I had the chance to say hi.' thought Sasuke, confused.
One minute later, the door opened again and Sakura was now wearing a long white robe.
"What do you want?" shyly asked the pink haired girl with a small blush on her face.
"I want to know if you want to do something…"
"Huh! Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?" asked Sakura, curious.
"Naruto is out with Hinata, I'm bored." answered plainly the boy.
"Oh… I should have known…" replied the girl, disappointed.
"Listen, if you don't want to, just say so." said Sasuke, annoyed.
"I don't know… What are you proposing?" asked again Sakura, slightly interested.
"Whatever you want…" answered without thinking the boy.
"Did I really hear that?"
"Hn…"
"Come in." said Sakura as she let the young man enter.
Once she closed the door, the girl went to her bedroom and closes the door. Sasuke decides to sit on her couch and looks around. The place was clean and the wall's paint was in tone of red and beige, it wasn't really like he thought it would be, but then again, she had changed. Some minutes later, the pink haired girl got out of her room wearing a beautiful long black tank top with spaghetti straps that reach her thighs and a tight black pair of pants that reach just above the knee and only a few strands of hair on the sides of her head were raised into a topknot. She passes in front of Sasuke who was looking at her from head to toes and took a pair of black high heels sandals in the wardrobe and went for the front door.
"So, you're coming?" asked the girl, already reaching for the keys.
"Where are you going like this?" asked Sasuke, trying to hide the blush on his cheeks.
"You said I could do whatever I want." replied the girl in a teasing tone.
"Hn…"
"Come on." said the girl while exiting the place with a smile on her face.
"I should have specified something…" mumbled the boy, annoyance written all over his face.
