Here for another chapter, I would appreciate it if you guys left reviews.I am so very sorry it took a while to update.
Again I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 4.
When the Sakura woke up she had forgotten that she had fell asleep to a mostly naked Sai. She felt something warm wrapped around her waist and around her legs. She opened her eyes to see Sai's arm around her waist and their legs intertwined. She got up quickly waking up Sai in the process.
Sai just rubbed his eyes and yawned. "Whats wrong?" He asked tiredly. Sakura started to blush. "Are you not aware how we were?!" she almost yelled but caught herself. Sai knew how they were but was not phased by it. "Yes, you were cold so I moved closer to warm you up." Sakura just blushed more from his answer.
She needed some air so she unzipped the tent and left. The cold morning breeze woke her up even quicker send shiver down her spine. She had forgot to put on her boots and a jonin jacket but she did not want to go back into the tent not while her mind was somewhere else. But she did not mind those thoughts as much as she thought she would.
What has gotten into me? I would never think of Naruto like that, so why Sai? The pinkette thought. She felt the cold sand crunch under her feet as she kept walking. She wondered a couple miles away from the tent she decided it was time to got back. When she was about to turn she saw the sun just starting to rise. The pink hair girl froze in amazement on how beautiful the colors blending with each other.
When Sakura finally started moving again she saw Sai outside the tent in his boxers sitting down in the sand. As she neared the tent she heard light snores. The pinkette was in front of Sai and saw that he had his drawing book out again. She reached for it and as she was about to touch it she felt a cold hand on her wrist. "You can't see it yet, it's not finished" Sai said sleepy.
"Sai! You are freezing get back into the tent!" Sakura scolded. Sai stood up and pulled up Sakura with him. "You are freezing to so you also have to come in" He said emotionless. Sakura started to blush and feeling like she was being grounded. Sai pulled both of them into the tent and zipped it back up. He then put his drawing book away. The black hair boy then grabbed the covers and wrapped it around Sakura.
Sakura started to blush more. "Sai what about you?" Sai just walked next to her and opened the covers and sat next to her. She started to blush more. "Are you sick ugly?" Sai put his hand on her forehead. Sakura quickly smacked it away and turned her face. "No! I'm fine really I am". After a couple of minutes of neither of them talking the pinkette was getting tired of the awkward feel. "How about we change before they come and think we were doing something"
Sakura got out the blankets and started rummaging through her pack. She pulled out her only pair of clean clothes left. I hope they get here soon! "Sai can you leave the tent while I change?"
Sai nodded and left the tent with some of his clothes. When Sakura finished changing she walked out the tent just to be tackled on it. "Sakura-chan! I was so worried about you so I made them move fast without stopping!" Naruto yelled while hugging her tightly.
Sakura rubbed her back and glared at Naruto. Naruto then helped her up and then hugged her again. "Naruto I'm fine I can protect myself plus I had Sai with me" Naruto still would not let go of Sakura so she pried him off of her. When she finally got him off she saw everyone else appear by their camp. "Okay now since we are regrouped let's move out!" Temari demanded. Sakura and Sai nodded and started to pack their stuff.
When they finished Sakura and Temari were in the front, with Naruto, Sai, and Captain Yamato behind them and then everyone else. After about a couple of hours of running they hear Naruto scream "WHAT!" Sakura and Temari stop and look back at them with the whole team stopped Sakura saw that Naruto's face was flushed. "Naruto? Are you alright?". The pink haired girl walked up to Naruto and put her hand on his forehead. Naruto turned away from her and his face grew more red. "Naruto?" she asked again. "I'm fine I will talk to you about it when we get to the village" Sakura nodded. Temari, Sakura and Kankuro were in the lead now.
"What do you think that was about?" Temari had asked. Sakura just shrugged. "I think Sai was telling Yamoto what happened" Kankuro said. Sakura started to blush after hearing that now she knew what was wrong with Naruto. "So what did happen Sakura?" The blonde girl asked. "I will tell you when your brother is not around". Kankuro looked confused but Temari nodded. After a couple hours of running through the sand with little remarks coming from Naruto they finally made it to the village.
"Okay Yamato and your team follow me. Kankuro you and the others will do the report" Temari ordered then headed towards the kazekage tower. Yamato, Sai,Naruto and Sakura followed after her. When they got to the tower they followed the blonde woman to the kazekage's room. After she knocked they heard a grunt then she opened the door. "Gaara! How have you been?" Naruto asked right away. Sakura punched the top of his head. "I'm sorry for his idiocy." Yamato and Sai were already mid bow when Sakura forced Naruto to bow and she also bowed.
Gaara just waved his hand."No need to apologize it is Naruto after all, and you guys do not need to bow to me, you guys are guest in my village". After Gaara said that they all stood up nice and straight except for Naruto he was slouching with his hands behind his head like usual. The pink haired girl then walked up to Gaara's desk and handed him the scroll with a bow. Gaara just sighed and took the scroll. "Thank you guys for bringing this here, Now Temari will show you where you guys will be staying."
Temari waited by the door for them. "If you guys will follow me again, I will show you the way". As the group was heading towards the door Gaara said "While you guys wait for the reply, do not be afraid to ask where things are or for someone to show you around". "Thank you Kazekage" Yamato said with a bow. once they were out the room they started to follow Temari through the building. "Oh Sakura since you are here, after we clean up would you like to tell me what happened on the mission?" Temari asked. Sakura agreed and they set the time for 7pm.
After Temari showed them to their rooms near the kazekage tower Sakura quickly went into the shower. When she was humming in the shower she heard a knock. UGH! Who can that be? she thought. She turned off the water and wrapped a towel around herself and walked towards her door. "Who is it?!" the pinkette called out."It's me, Can we talk really quick?" Naruto voice sounded sad yet angry. Sakura sighed and opened the door "Make this quick". Naruto looked at her than blushed. "You're going to talk in that?". "Yes, I was in the shower now hurry up!". Naruto walked into the the room and sat on the small bed. Sakura closed the door and turned to face him.
"Well..." He sighed and continued "Sai told Yamoto and I what had happened" he sighed again and looked up at Sakura. "I wish, I was the one that had saved you". Sakura just looked at him and motioned for him to continue. "I could have been the one to see you!" He grunted. Now Sakura was confused. What does he mean by see me? "What do you..." Sakura blushed right away remembering Sai had seen her naked. "You pervert!" Sakura walked over to Naruto and karate chopped the top of his head. Naruto covered his head and moaned out in pain.
"Get out Naruto, I have to get ready!" Sakura snarled. Naruto got up and quickly hugged her and ran out the room. She sighed and closed and locked the door. She then continued to shower and after she got ready. While she was finishing up she heard a knock. "Who is there?". "It's me, are you ready?" Temari called out. Sakura opened the door and let her in "Almost". Sakura then ran over to her bag and grabbed her leaf headband and put it on. "Okay now lets go" Temari nodded and walked out the room. Sakura locked her room door and followed Temari.
"So what happened?" Temari asked while they were walking through the busy town. "How about we find a place to eat first then I will tell you". Temari nodded in agreement and then pointed to a small restaurant. They walked in and sat down in an empty booth. After they order some food Sakura started to explain what happened. "Well I woke up early like usual and decided to go to the pond and take a quick bath. That is when I got attacked and I was doing pretty well than out of no where Sai comes and starts to fight off the attackers". The pink hair girl took a drink of cold water and looked at Temari and sighed. I really don't want to tell her this. She thought to herself.
"Sai then pulled me out the water, grabbed my bag and lent me his jacket and took us to a safer spot. So we spent a day there waiting for you guys." The pinkette quickly finished. Temari just stared at the pink haired girl. "Are you sure that was all?" Temari asked while wiggling her eyebrows. Sakura blushed remembering seeing Sai and cuddling with him. "Yes I am sure, so do not push it" Sakura then glared at Temari trying to hide her blush. "Okay, Okay, well anyways we have some stuff to talk about". They stopped and thanked the waiter for bringing them their food.
"Talk about what?" Sakura asked then started to eat. "Well like why havent you gotten yourself a boyfriend yet and who you like, you know the usual girl stuff" The blonde girl then started to eat. "I will tell you what I tell everyone, I do not have time for a boyfriend so there is no point of me liking anyone" The pink haired girl said and continued to eat after. Temari just looked at her in disbelieve. "There has to be at least one guy that you like, and would make time for" Sakura just shook her head at the remark. "Well how about Naruto?" Temari asked. Sakura just shook her head. "Kiba?Shino?Lee?"."None of them, I told you I don't like anyone". "Neji? Choji? Kakashi? Yamato?". "Temari I don't like anyone so there is no point to this." Temari just rolled her eyes "Their has to be someone that you like, Oh! What about Sai?".
Sakura almost choked on her water "What about him?" Temari smiled she had figured it about before Sakura did. "So their is someone" Temari said playfully. "No there is not!" Sakura quickly finished her food and put some money down. Temari quickly ate her food and put some money down also. "Come on don't be like that." The blonde woman said almost laughing. Sakura got up and started to walk out with Temari following behind her. "So Sai, What attracts you to him?" Temari pushed.
"I do not like him!" Sakura said and attempted to storm off. The pink haired girl ran into someone. "I am so sorry!" She said as she helped him up. Temari was just behind her laughing. "You sure showed me." Temari said sarcastically. The pink hair girl just glared at the blonde woman and started to walk off again. Temari sighed "How about I just take you to your room so you can think stuff over?". "I don't need to think anything over." Sakura pouted. "I am sure you don't, but you sure can throw a fit." Temari stated.
Sakura sighed. "I am sorry, Just kinda stressed over what has happened".Temari just nodded "It's alright I was just kidding anyways, but do you want to go back?" Sakura nodded and started to follow Temari through the crowd once again. When they reached her room, Sakura thanked Temari for the night out. The pink haired girl closed her door and sighed. Do I really like Sai? Why do I only feel like this when he is around? Sakura shook her head to get the thoughts out her head. How does Sai feel about me?
AN: I got very busy and also my editor got busy. I will try to update as much as I can I will at least try for twice or at least once a month. I would also like more reviews for this story. If no one is encouraging this story I will probably discontinue it. As much as I hate to discontinue this lovely story, I do not see a point in updating a story when no one is giving me their opinions on this story.
