Sakura


It was that new kid Naruto who I was supposed to be showing around the school, but I had completely forgotten to do so once the lunch bell had rung.

Now I sat beside Ino and my sister, and watched as all the boys came up to us, and plopped themselves down in various positions near our lunch spot.

I slid a quick glance over at Hinata, and sure enough her cheeks were a warm rosy-pink, as she looked shyly at the spiky-haired blond out of the corner of her eye.

I mentally groaned as I could see where this was probably going to go, and then I gave a mental scream as that same spiky-haired blond sat himself down right beside me.

"Hey hey! You're that girl who sits beside me in homeroom, and the one Anko-teach told to show me around the school. Sakura Haruno, right? Well, just in case you forgot my name it's, Narumhmph."

"I already know what your name is, Naruto Uzumaki. You kind of scrawled it ALL OVER the classroom chalkboard. It was kinda hard to miss," I responded, as I slowly removed my hand from his mouth, where my hand had gone to quickly shut him up.

But as my hand slowly left Naruto's lips, I could have sworn that I felt a light...lick...against my palm from something that was not supposed to be licking me.

I looked quickly up into Naruto's face, and into his sparkling baby-blue eyes, and squinted long and hard at him. He just gave me an 'I'm-so-innocent' grin and then turned his attention to Lee, who had begun asking him questions about his fighting background.

While the boys laughed and joked around with each other, I looked down at my hand and tried to decide if I had just imagined the feel of Naruto's soft tongue against my palm, or if he really had just...licked me.

I could feel my own cheeks warming up and I'm sure turning a light shade of pink, when I looked closer at my palm and indeed saw a slightly damp spot.

That little punk. I was going to smack him good one time for that.

But as I turned towards that spiky blond head to give it a good whack, my green eyes locked onto Hinata's silvery-pale ones. I saw my sister look quickly down at my still-open palm, before she looked back up into my eyes, and then she quickly turned her face away, and dropped her head so that her eyes were staring down into her bento box.

I couldn't quite read the expression on her face, but the one thing that I did know was that it had to do with what had just happened between Naruto and I.

I didn't know if Hinata had realized what Naruto had just done, or what she thought of my blush when I realized what he had done, but one thing was for damn sure...

I now had two things that I was going to whack Naruto good for.
