I wrote this a while ago, during the middle of the second semester…it just took me forever to relocate it and type it up…Enjoy!

The proud Genin fought to keep his face blank as he watched his teammates play in the clearing by the bridge where they normally met Kakashi.
It was a loosing battle. He couldn't help it. Every time Naruto touched his little cherry blossom, a look of anger flickered across his face. As soon as he realized it, he made his face return to its normal look of indifference, but his irritation remained. Soon his fists clenched.
He was so engrossed in keeping his anger from his showing, he failed to notice his teammates' stares.
"Hey Sasuke!" Sakura's voice broke his concentration; he glanced over to see them both staring.
"Yes?" He asked stiffly.
"Why are your hands curled into fists? Is there something wrong?" Sakura inquired. Glancing down, he was startled, but masked it and unclenched his fists slowly for it required tremendous effort.
"Nothing is wrong…"
After giving him searching looks, Sakura and Naruto returned to their game.
"Why did I even begin to like her?" He questioned himself. Sakura dashed past him, a smile gracing her lips and her laughter a heavenly sound in his ears. He smiled, even if it was only for a millionth of a millisecond.
Yes, that was his cherry blossom. The happy, bubbly, little pink haired angel who invaded his thoughts constantly. At first, her cheerful attitude had grated on his nerves.
However, slowly but surely, he became used to her and how she acted. He was even willing to admit (never aloud, of course) that he would miss her were she not about.
And that's where IT came in…this new, not to mention powerful, emotion. He didn't know when it came to be. It just was.
Although it had taken him a while to figure out what exactly he was feeling, he had finally grasped it.
He, the Uchiha prodigy, heir to the Sharingan, his clan's legacy, and the sole object that held affections of almost every girl in the village his age, was jealous…of Naruto.
The boy had the freedom to do whatever he wanted. He had the gall to touch Sakura, even if it was only for a split second, as well as a game.
He watched them play for a bit more as he mulled over an idea that had come to him.
Unbeknownst to him, Kakashi observed them from the bushes nearby. A smile played across his face, but one would have to look closely to catch it.
A smirking Sasuke lunged forward, making his teammates pull back in fear and surprise. While his little cherry blossom was off balance, he came up behind her.
She froze, unsure of his intentions.
Naruto grinned his fox grin; he knew exactly what Sasuke was going to do. In truth, he had been wondering what had taken the Uchiha prodigy so long.
From his position in the shrubbery, Kakashi smirked as he comprehended what was going on.
Sakura felt a gentle hand tap her shoulder, but it was Sasuke's warm breath on her neck that sent shivers up her spine.
"You're it." He whispered in her ear before vanishing.

OWARI, DUDES AND DUDETTES!
I'm sorry, but even if people request I write more for this one, I can't…I already tried, since my friends asked, but I honestly have no idea what to do…
I'll see if I can think of some ideas…
In the mean time, I hope you liked it!
