Ch. 2 Cookie Dough
"I hate it when Tsunade gives me lectures."
Kiba chuckles.
"She is harsh isn't she?"
"That I have to agree with. But she's a good teacher."
"I still can't believe she trained you. How did you ever get her to agree to train you?"
"I have my ways." Says Sakura with a wink.
Kiba raises an eyebrow.
"Really now? Interesting, would you care to tell me about 'your ways' over some ice cream?"
Sakura covers her mouth with one hand as she giggles.
"Your funny Kiba you know that? Some ice cream sounds wonderful thank you."
Kiba smiles and he's so happy Sakura accepted his offer that he puts his arm around her shoulder.
Sakura see's his arm.
No one's going to die if his arm rests on my shoulder for a while. Sakura thinks to herself.
At the Ice Cream store...
"And what flavor would you like Missy?" Asks a fragile old mine with a no tooth smile.
"Hmmm...I can't decide. Kiba you choose for me."
"Are you sure?"
Sakura re-thinks this then nods.
"Alrighty. She'll have cookie dough Mr. Fuyu."
"Here ya go young lady! Enjoy!"
"Cookie dough!" Says Sakura with an excited squeal as she takes the ice cream cone.
Kiba gets his cone and pays for both ice cream cone's.
"It's my favorite! How did you know?!" Sakura licks the ice cream and smiles.
"Because it's my favorite too!" Kiba smirks as he starts eating his ice cream.
"Woof, Woof!" Akamaru barks happily as he chases a butterfly.
"Hey! Akamaru wait up buddy!" Kiba calls to his dog as he and Sakura start walking faster.
They end up following Akamaru to a quiet stream. A huge rock sits beside the stream. Kiba takes a seat on the rock and pats a space next to him. Sakura takes the seat happily. Akamaru runs around in circles chasing his tail. Akamaru picks up a stick in his mouth and runs over to Kiba and Sakura. Akamura puts two paws up unto Sakura's lap and gestures to her with the stick.
"Looks like Akamaru really likes you. He wants to play fetch with you." Kiba pats Akamura on the head. Akamaru wags his tail.
Sakura takes a bite of her cone and starts to get up. But as she gets up Akamaru jumps up on her and her ice cream cone flies out of her hand and into the stream.
"Nooo!" Sakura cries.
"Aww bummer." Kiba says thinking of how to fix this problem. "Here, you can have mine if you want." He says offering his cone to Sakura.
"Thank you!" Sakura says happily as she takes the cone. Kiba takes the stick from Akamaru and throws it.
"Sakura..." Kiba says slowly.
"Hmm?" Says Sakura who is busy eating the ice cream.
"I was just wondering if you'd like to come to my house sometime."
"Sure!" Says Sakura as she takes the last bite of the cone.
Kiba laughs.
"What's so funny?" Asks Sakura. Akamaru comes running back with the stick. Kiba throws it again.
"You have some ice cream on your nose." Says Kiba who is laughing so hard he can barely speak.
"I do?!" Shrieks Sakura.
Kiba pulls a napkin out of his back pocket and wipes her nose.
Sakura blushes.
Kiba smiles.
"You're welcome." He says.
"Thank you" Sakura replies avoiding eye contact.
