Chapter 2
"Sakura! Sasuke!" At the sound of Naruto's voice I pulled away.
The embarrassment coupled with the surprise caused my cheeks to flush; as Naruto approached he gave me one of his looks.
"Hey Sakura, why is your face so red? Did teme do something to you?" He asked giving Sasuke a glare.
I pulled my fist up and drove it home, straight into his cranium.
"That is none of your business." Sasuke snickered.
Standing up, I grabbed my stuff and turned in the opposite direction.
"Anyway, where are we going?" I asked Naruto, who was still recovering from my blow.
"Well, I talked to Lady Tsunade and managed to snag us passes to a hot spring!" He said with a goofy grin.
Typical Naruto, always smiling.
He handed us our passes and I looked over it briefly.
"Where is this, hot spring, anyway?" I asked flipping over the card.
Not finding a location on it, I tucked it in my bag.
Naruto still hadn't answered my question as he began to push me and Sasuke out of the village gates.
"Naruto." Sasuke grumbled.
"Come on teme! We have to get moving!" I rolled my eyes.
"Where is this place Naruto?" I asked once more.
"Somewhere around the village in the sand." He said distractedly.
I shook my head at that logic. Really? A hot spring right next to the driest village, they must have plenty of customers.
"Who cares, can we just get moving already?" Sasuke and I shrugged and we began our long journey to the springs.
As we walked we made a plan as to what we would do, the village of the sand wasn't very close to the leaf village so we decided to split the trip up into a couple of days. Night was falling as we approached a town, which was good because I was tired and needed a shower. As we made our way there it began to pour, just our luck. I dashed for cover and watched as Naruto danced in the rain, while Sasuke on the other hand walked like it was bright and sunny. They were just so different, like night and day.
I was giving up on finding a place when Sasuke came across a small inn. Soaked and shivering I hugged myself as Sasuke sorted out the room business.
"You okay Sakura? You're shivering." Naruto asked pulling me over to him.
Regardless of the fact that he was more soaked than me he was still warm. Gripping on to him, he held me close; the smell of ramen and for some reason oranges was a bit reassuring.
Hearing someone clear their throat, I turned to look at Sasuke. "Sorry to ruin your moment, but we seem to have a problem."
"What is it?" I asked, pulling away from Naruto, feeling awkward with Sasuke's eyes on me.
"The place is booked; all they have left is a room with two beds." He said swinging the key on his finger.
"Well then one of you two will have to sleep on the floor." I said grabbing the key and heading to the room.
I could tell I left them flabbergasted because it took a while for them to follow. Dropping my stuff on the first bed I could see, I plucked out my clothes and headed for the shower.
"You guys can choose who sleeps where, I really need a shower." I said entering the bathroom.
Thank god the place had towels! Stripping I entered the shower. The water felt so good on my cold skin, I had to let out a sigh. Soon I was lost in my thoughts.
Sasuke, once again. Sasuke.
All I could think was why?
Why did he have to do this to me now?
Why couldn't he just leave me alone?
Just when I was starting to get over him he goes and does something to drag me back to him, like a magnet. It was even worse that with all the time I've been spending with Naruto lately, I remember just last week we...
"Hey Sakura, ready to go?" The goofball said grabbing my stuff.
"Yeah just give me a minute Naruto; I have to punch out for lunch."
I quickly punched out and followed him. Naruto and I usually ate lunch from time to time when he wasn't busy; today was another one of those days. I usually made the lunch, after moving out of my parents' house I learned how to cook, apparently really well too. Naruto didn't complain anyway. Today we decided to eat in one of our old training grounds. As we setup our little picnic I looked around pointing out marks still indented from the time we trained.
"Remember this?" I said placing my hand over one of the scratches.
"This is where we were trying to get the chakra in our feet to walk up the tree and you kept falling." I giggled.
"Uh, yeah." He said scratching the back of his head embarrassed.
Going back over to our little place I took out our bentos.
"Come eat." I told him with a smile. He nodded and came over.
…
Done, we leaned against one of the big tree trunks and caught up.
"So, how's your training going?" He asked.
I shrugged. "It's going I guess nothing new since last week, how about you?"
"Nah, me either. Say Sakura… I was wondering…" His arm was behind his head and I looked into his eyes.
"Nani?" I asked picking up a stray flower to play with.
The cherry blossoms were in bloom, it was of course my favorite season, spring. The season of new beginnings. He took it out of my hand and tucked it in my hair gently.
"Well, I wanted to know if you would like to…."
"Yes? If I would like to what?" I raised a brow, getting confused.
Naruto seemed to even confuse himself at that point, looking down and noticing the time I practically jumped up.
"Oh no, I got to go!" I panicked, I was running late.
As I got to my feet I lost my footing, Naruto grabbed me just in time to trip over his own feet and land right on top of me. The position we fell in was slightly awkward and a blush crept on my face. Naruto's hot breath on my neck gave me goosebumps and I lifted up my head and found myself staring straight into his baby blue orbs.
"Sakura." A hoarse whisper, I shivered.
Before I could say another word we…
"Kissed…" I ran a finger over my lips.
A crash of something breaking brought me back to reality. Wondering what the sound was, I quickly finished up my shower and wrapped my towel around me. Slipping out the bathroom, I turned the corner to see my two boys acting like five year-olds.
I sighed. "What's the problem here?" I clutched my towel.
They pointed to the bed.
"Oi, is it that big of a deal?" They nodded.
"Wait, I have an idea." Said Naruto, with a devilish grin.
Moving around some things, He managed to push both the beds together.
"Tada! Now we all can sleep in the beds." The blood rushed into my face.
Sleep. In the same bed as them?! I wanted to scream.
"Ummm…maybe I'll just take the floor." I said grabbing my clothes and slipping them on in the bathroom quickly.
"I mean you two are pretty big and the floor area is so small so..." I smiled nervously.
"Oh-no Sakura, you insisted that you sleep in the bed." Chuckled Sasuke.
"Besides, this way, Sasuke and I don't have to lie next to each other." Naruto said with a smug smile.
Oh-no! Why did this always have to happen to me?!
Note: Well that's the second chapter, I hope that including that NaruSaku did some good, because it was extremely hard to do for me, but hopefully it wasn't that bad.
