Bounce!

Where would one base their comparison?

Kin bounced around happily, the streets where nearly empty today. She wondered where Tenten had to go so fast earlier. Oh well, the trust she had in Tenten was great enough to get rid of that thought quickly. She knew Dosu was with Gaara now, but where the hell did Zaku go?

Zaku was so bored he thought sawing his own hand off at this point might be fun. In his schedule in the sound village he was always so busy. Here he didn't do anything, walked around and goofed off with his old team. He seen two people arguing over by a building. It looked like the pink haired girl and the blonde guy... He disliked them both so he thought he may go over their and show some authority.

Zaku casually walked up to them right as the blonde haired guy was leaving. The pink haired girl had tears rolling down her face.

He took a piece of cloth from his pocket "Here, what's wrong?"

Sakura stared up at the figure standing in front of her. He was the Kage from the sound village, the new one. The one everybody was so excited to have.

She whipped her tears "Nothing, lord Nihdaime."

Zaku shook his head furiously, this girl looked so innocent and well...beautiful.

He placed the cloth back in his pocket "Don't call me that, I am in your village, I am your age, and there is no real reason to respect me. I used to hate calling the Kage's by their proper names. My names Zaku."

Sakura smiled "My names Sakura, and that guy that just left has been leading me on quite a few times now."

Zaku cocked his head to the side "You mean... You was actually with someone that pathetic?"

Sakura laughed "Yeah I guess so. This is the third time he has broken up with me."

Zaku got a weird look on his face "You should really stop giving him chances. He doesn't deserve that many."

Sakura frowned "No one else will have me."

Zaku closed his eyes and prayed "That's ridiculous, you're... You're beautiful."

Sakura blushed deeply, she didn't know this man very well, but he really made her feel like she was something.

Zaku took her by the hand "Why, if you would let me, I would have you."

Sakura blushed deeper... Was he serious? Would a Kage really be interested in... Her?

Zaku stood to his feet "Well, I really shouldn't stay long."

Sakura stood up "No wait."

Zaku looked toward her "What is it?"

Sakura gave him a big hug "Thank you, you really have shown me something good."

Zaku smiled and hugged her back "Don't worry about it. It was really all my pleasure."

She let him go "Bye."

Zaku smacked himself in the head.

Sakura looked at him strange.

He looked over at her "I was about to let you walk away without asking you out tonight."

She stared at him blankly "You're serious?"

Zaku smiled "Of course I am. How about in the park at around 6:00? That is, if you want to."

Sakura smiled "That sounds great, I'll be there."

They parted ways with Zaku smiling the entire time.

Kin was now stomping her feet as she walked, everyone had completely abandoned her. She went home and laid in the bed that she and Tenten shared. She still smelt Tenten on the sheets, she knew that she would have to do laundry but hanging on to this smell until she seen Tenten next seemed like the best idea. And where was Zaku?

Kin heard a knock on the door and answered it seeing Zaku standing pathetically at the door.

She let him in "Where have you been?"

Zaku fell to the bed "I was just busy."

Kin ripped him from the bed "I want to smell Tenten not you."

Zaku laughed "Can I store my Kage robe here?"

Kin nodded "I don't care."

Zaku threw it over his head, revealing a black sleeveless shirt and camo pants.

Kin laughed "You don't look that different than you used to."

Zaku smiled brightly "I know, why would I want to?"

Kin smiled "Good old Zaku, it's a good thing some things never change."

Zaku laughed "So, where's Tenten?"

Kin frowned "I don't know."

Zaku put an arm around her "I'm sure she is just busy. She would never do anything against you."

Kin bit her bottom lip "I'm just scared I've moved her in to something too fast... Or I've been too clingy."

Zaku cocked his head to the side "You two are engaged, you can't be too clingy any more. And about moving her in to things too fast... Last time I checked she proposed to you."

Kin smiled "Thank you Zaku, that really means a lot."

Zaku made an Italian mob looking face and began talking with an accent "It's what I do."

They both laughed.
