Suggested listening: Gives You Hell~All American Rejects


I knew I should have stayed home today.

Yeah…


It was very suspicious when Shisui Uchiha sat down next to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura at Ichiraku Ramen. Suspicious in it's unsuspiciousness. It was a well known fact that Shisui liked ramen. It was also a well known fact (But not often willingly acknowledged) that Sasuke and him were related, no matter how much he claimed that the real Shisui and Itachi were switched at birth with spawn of Jashin by evil cultists and therefore, weren't related to him.

It was perfectly normal for Shisui to sit by Sakura. It was also perfectly acceptable when he ordered a bowl of chicken ramen.
And, alas, it was also perfectly normal for Shisui to worm his arm around Sakura's waist and say, "Hey, babe. How's it going?"

And then, yeah, it was also normal for Sakura to send him flying.

But, today, it didn't happen.

She just smacked her head against the counter and moaned.

"Leave her alone, Shisui-teme." Naruto said around a mouthful of noodly goodness. "Sakura-chan's had a bad day."

"Oh?" His smile quickly turned upside down. "What happened, Sakura-chan?"

She raised her head just a tad and muttered "Lee. Bothering me."

"Rock Lee? Team ten?"

"Yeah."

"You don't like him?'

"No."

Even as a friend?"

"Yes."

"You like him as a friend?"

"Yes."

"Do you like me as a friend?"

"No."

"So you like me as more than a friend."

"Yes-wait, what?" Sakura shoots her head up. "What did you…"

"Oh, look. There he is." Shisui pushes the ramen stand's hangings aside and opens his fat mouth. "Hey, Lee-san!"

Sasuke looks at his cousin curiously and Naruto orders another bowl.

There is mischief and an underlying evil hint to Shisui's voice that Sakura does not like one bit. She launches herself from her barstool, directly at the smiling Uchiha.

Unfortunately for Sakura, compared to Shisui she had the speed of a three toed sloth with a hangover. He catches her in his arms, bridal style. Sakura cannot see anything but Shisui, but she can hear Lee's foot steps on the cobbled street. She struggles viciously, unsuccessfully.

"Hello, Shisui-san! Why-"

Shisui crashes his lips to Sakura's.

And Rock Lee makes a very unmanly sound.


A/N:

Trying to get a feel for this pairing....

^-^* Inspired by amnerine's ItaSaku fics. They had Shisui aplenty, but not as a main pairing.
