This one is so bleh, i'm not sure what i was thinking (or if i was at all) sorry guys)


Dealing


She was too much to deal with all of the time.

He had come to this conclusion on their lengthly walk back to Konoha, after a particular dull mission catching some woman's escaped birds.

She was exhausting.

She complained about Naruto's superhuman amounts of energy but, kami-sama, she was hardly Shikamaru.

Sakura had not stopped pestering him for the whole trip.

The whole trip.

Some would say this was an exaggeration. But they would never know the suffering he had to endure within his team.

Other girls, he could simply ignore and go about his way.

No, not Sakura.

Somehow the girl had, whether she realised it or not, obtained her own fan club – despite the fact it consisted of just Kakashi and Naruto.

So, when he would ignore her, the usual for irritating squealing girl protocol, he would either be reprimanded by Kakashi for being 'rude' or he would succumb to more noise from Naruto about how he should stop being such a 'teme' and be nice to his precious 'Sakura-chan'.

"Sasuke-kun, what was your favourite bird? I loved the blue and pink one! It was just so beautiful!"

One more word from her and he was about to tear out his own eyes.

No.

That would result in more fussing from her.

He needed something more permanent.

…Like death.

"Sasuke-kun, are you listening? I know I talk too much sometimes but you're just so quiet! You should really open up!" She smiled coyly at him, wrapping a strand her long candyfloss coloured hair around her finger.

"Hn."

There was approximately 3 hours left back to Konoha.

God help me.


He refused to believe that that just happened.

Stupid dobe, getting in my way.

"Hahahahahaha teme that was so funny!" Laughed Naruto, practically doubled over, "You fell…ON YOUR FACE ahahahaha,"

Sasuke sent a hefty glare his way, from his dusty seat on the floor. When he realised his stony stare was having little to no effect on the still laughing boy, he set his gaze on the small gash on his leg.

He sighed, irritated by the whole situation, angered by his own blunder.

"Might want to watch where you're going in the future, Sasuke," Kakashi chuckled from the background.

Sasuke silently seethed, he could almost feel his blood boiling beneath his skin.

And a slight flush of heat run up his neck and settle around his ears from embarrassment and shame.

Kuso.

Just as he was about to stand up and beat the crap out of Naruto, a soft 'Wait!" stopped him.

Sakura glided down in front of him, kneeling by his slightly bent, outstretched legs. "Let me put some of this on first, might get infected or something!" She pulled a face of disdain, pouting, before reaching for something in her pouch. She took out a small tub of ointment and popped off the lid.

Medical supplies?

Sasuke's eyes followed her movement as she sent a smile his way, before scooping a small amount of the paste out of the tub on two of her fingers. She lowered her fingers to just above his leg before glancing up at him with a heavy blush on her face, "May i?" She asked, shyly.

His eyes narrowed slightly but eventually gave a minute nod of the head, signalling for her to continue.

She smiled once again and placed her fingers to the gash, sending a sharp pain through the boy's leg. Sasuke gritted his teeth in response and she muttered a small apology before continuing.

Her sudden gentle nature surprised him. The girl he was used to, would have tried to embrace him, or at least would have squealed, by now.

Though, she was still the same annoying love-sick girl, he thought with disdain. Everyone could see that by the ridiculous colour of her face as she finished spreading the medicine over his cut.

However, she seemed slightly more reserved. Not as…full on. She didn't once squeal over the fact he was letting her touch him or help him, and she didn't try to initiate any sort of inappropriate or unnecessary physical contact.

And he was okay with this.

"There you go, Sasuke-kun!" She said happily as he stood, the small pain in his leg completely gone.

He briefly thought that maybe one day, she'd make an okay medic nin.

Her life's intent seemed to revolve around making him happy so why couldn't she apply that to others?

"Hn, arigatou." He thanked her quietly, returning back to walking.

"T-that's okay," He heard her gush from behind him.

Somewhere in the back of his mind, he wish she would stay like that.

Like she was when she was healing his leg. Quieter, more focused.

It was no secret that Sakura was intelligent and had a talent for Genjutsu.

Sasuke had known that since their bell test.

She scored near perfect grades in Ninja theory tests. If she could just realise her own talents, pull back a bit and stop obsessing over …useless things,

He thought, maybe then, could he begin to deal with Sakura Haruno.


Not fluffy or anything but theres a slight hint whatever.

It'd be really great if you lot could let me know some of your own ideas for this! :) Any ideas/thoughts/things you wished had happened during their Genin days i can help incoporate into here, or even any doujinshis. So, lemme know!
