The weather was hot already as Sakura left her apartment to meet her team for the mission. She hadn't decided how she felt about everything yet.
Sure, she had gotten over her obsession with the last Uchiha male, but she never fully forgot her feelings.
Sasuke had returned two years ago, right before Sakura's seventeenth birthday. He was put on probation and then at eighteen he rejoined team seven. The members all became Anbu and had become known as the best team.
The five of them, all surprisingly worked perfectly together. Sakura loved them all, Naruto was like her younger brother, Sai her older, Kakashi was like a father figure, and Sasuke, he was a good friend who she kinda deep down had a crush on.
Sakura sighed. She was nineteen years old. She shouldn't still like Sasuke. She had dated other guys, but it never worked out.
She shook her head and ran a hand through her short pink hair. She arrived at the village gates and dropped her bag, leaning against a tree.
Sai showed up first, followed by Sasuke. Sakura couldn't bring herself to look at him.
'Great. Awkward already.' She thought.
Naruto and Kakashi arrived at the same time. They all headed out. It was silent for the first twenty minutes. Then Naruto spoke.
"So Sasuke." Sasuke glared at Naruto, but the blonde continues. "Say you and Sakura are walking in town looking at shops and holding hands, but Sakura pulls ahead to look at something. What do you do?"
Everyone looked at the dark haired boy.
"Hn. Let her go." They stared at him.
"Oh jeez." Naruto rolled his eyes. He walked over to Sakura and laced his fingers with hers. They smiled and walked a little.
"Oh, Naruto look!" Sakura pointed to a tree and walked ahead of him. Naruto smirked, then gently pulled her back against his chest. She looked up at him and smiled. Naruto leaned down and kissed her forehead. Then he let her walk beside him again.
They turned back to Sasuke who was glaring darkly at Naruto.
"See. Just like that." Kakashi said. "You wanna practice?"
Sasuke didn't reply.
"Look Sasuke, you have to be comfortable doing these things. People will be suspicious if you act like Sakura has cooties." Kakashi used his firm 'I'm right. End of story' voice.
Sasuke sighed and walked to Sakura. She held her hand out to him. He took it, and was surprised at how small hers was.
"Good. We will start slow. Just hold hands. Get used to it." Kakashi pulled out his book. They all walked in silence.
"Oh man. This is never going to work!" Naruto threw his hands up.
"I agree. The Uchiha is not doing well." Sai said.
They all stopped. Sasuke glared at them both. Sakura rubbed her thumb on the back of Sasuke's hand. He relaxed his stance, but still looked pissed.
"Sasuke, man, you gotta lighten up. Sakura is your wife. You two are in love. You gotta act like it!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Shut up idiot. I know." Sasuke said. Naruto looked to Kakashi, who gave a curt nod.
Naruto walked up to Sakura pulled her into a kiss.
Sasuke's eyes widened and he pulled Sakura, whose hand was still laced with his, back. She fell against his chest and Sasuke wrapped his free arm around her before she fell. His eyes stayed on Naruto, glare in place.
"Heh, well good. You passed that." Naruto smirked. Sasuke narrowed his eyes. But gently pushed Sakura off him, still holding her hand.
"Shall we?" Sai motioned them to continue walking. Sakura shrugged at Naruto and allowed Sasuke to pull her ahead of the others.
Sakura helped Sasuke with little things as they walked. Her wrapping her arms around his waist. Him tucking hair behind her ear. She hugged him from behind. He did the same to her. And simply just holding gazes.
Sakura purposely avoided kisses. But Naruto noticed, though he didn't say anything.
When they found a place to camp, they built a fire and sat down to eat.
"You have done very well Sasuke." Kakashi said.
Naruto nodded in agreement. "Yeah teme, but you gotta kiss her. Want me to demonstrate?"
"No." Sasuke's reply was quick, his voice sharp. Naruto grinned.
"Dickless is correct." Sai spoke. "I have seen many couples engage in kisses."
Sakura rolled her eyes. She knew they were right, but damnit, this was awkward. She glanced at Sasuke and was surprised to see him staring at the ground. A sigh escaped her lips.
'I have to do this. I passed all those seduction classes with ease. This isn't that bad.' Sakura thought as she got up and walked to Sasuke. She stopped in front of him. He looked up at her.
"Take a walk with me?" She said. He stood and took her hand.
"Stay." Sakura held her hand up at Naruto. The two left before he could complain, disappearing in the woods.
They walked in silence until Sakura stopped. She turned to Sasuke.
"I thought this would be easier without the others watching." She spoke softly. Sasuke just blinked down at her.
'Just do it.' Sakura told herself. She swallowed and ran her hands up his chest and laced them around his neck.
Sasuke stiffened, but Sakura continued. She pressed her body against his, closed her eyes and kissed him.
Sasuke didn't respond. Sakura lightly ran her tongue over his lower lip. Sasuke grabbed her elbow, but didn't kiss back.
Sakura pulled back, and avoided his eyes.
"Uh, I'm sorry." She tried to pull farther away, but Sasuke held her still.
"Again." He said and then he pressed his mouth to hers. She smiled and kissed back.
He fumbled, and Sakura could tell he was inexperienced. But she was patient as she coaxed their tongues together. Sasuke caught on quickly and took control.
He backed her up to a tree and suddenly things heated up. Sakura forgot about pretending and just enjoyed the kiss.
The need for air soon became known. Sakura was the first to pull away. They didn't move, both trying to catch their breath.
"You really are a fast learner." Sakura said. Sasuke smirked.
"So, when I pulled away…what was your first thought?" She asked. Sasuke looked away, but didn't move apart from her.
"Its okay Sasuke, you can tell me. Its probably the right thing."
Sasuke was silent for awhile. How could he tell her that he was mad that the kiss had ended? He had wanted to continue everything, he wanted to lift her against that tree and feel her legs wrap around him. And damn, he wanted to taste her neck.
"Hn." Sasuke leaned down and ran his tongue down the span of her smooth neck. His eyes met with hers after that. Sakura got over her shock and a smile spread over her lips.
"That's perfect." Sakura said. "You will have to do that our first night there."
A light blush spread over her cheeks. "You do know what we have to do, right?"
Sasuke nodded.
"You think we can pull it off?"
The male didn't say anything. He pressed his lips to hers lightly then took her hand in his.
"We should head back now." Sakura agreed and they walked the path back to camp. When they arrived they were surprised to see their team members asleep.
Sakura sighed. Sasuke was glaring at the other males, but she had noticed that only one sleeping bag was left. She tugged Sasuke's arm and tilted her head in the direction of the last place to sleep.
Sasuke's eyes showed the recognition. Sakura chewed her lip, unsure what to do. Sasuke began walking to the sleeping bag, the pink haired female following.
They slipped off their shoes. Sasuke sat down first, slipping into the bag, Sakura followed suit. It was a tight fit, but the two adjusted. Sakura's back was firmly against Sasuke's chest, his arms around her waist.
Sleep soon found the two. Sasuke thinking about the kiss they shared. Sakura worrying about the night to come.
