MABUSHII'S POV
SAKURA??!!??
Sakura knocked me out? Why would she do that to me? She's always been such a sweet girl! This doesn't make any sense!
"Sakura..." I start, "Why…?"
"No offense, Mabushii," she tells me. "Our current training is a game. We have to find and capture a tangible weakness from our opponent. I drew Kakashi Sensei's name, so I had to kidnap you. It's strictly an educational kidnapping, I assure you."
I couldn't really do much except blink at her. I was beside myself with shock. Slowly, realization came to me.
"you mean to tell me," I ask her, "that to get to Kakashi, you stalked me coming to work, waited for a good opportunity, knocked out my boss with a dart, chloroformed me into unconsciousness, and brought me back here?"
"I'm sorry!" she said.
"Good job!" I told her. "I didn't even knew you new how to do all that! I didn't even know you possessed darts! That was a deviously well thought out plan and I will petition anyone to make sure you get an A on your exercise."
After Sakura's confusion passed, she beamed a smile bigger than if Sasuke just asked her on a date.
"I knew I had it in me, I just haven't had a good chance to show it yet!"
She then kept talking about all the things she taught herself how to do (with the help of Kakashi) but I was only half listening. Instead, I was trying to survey my surroundings to try and figure out where I was. This was not sakura's house at all.
"Sakura, where are we?" I asked.
"we're in an oversized but hidden tree house about 5 blocks away from my house."
"why?"
"Well… I needed a place to protect my parents, you, and a few other valuables until 5:00 tonight when we meet up and see how we fared."
A wise idea, Kakashi. You really know how to train your students!
"I'm sure you'll do wonderfully!" I told Sakura.
KAKASHI'S POV
"Kiba's Dog."
"Kiba's dog?" I said in disbelief. "are you serious? That can't be right."
"I'm never wrong" said my mysterious friend.
How can he hold kiba's dog in such a high position? The only tangible item close to Sasuke? That doesn't make sense. I didn't even know Sasuke liked dogs! Actually, I don't even remember Sasuke going NEAR kiba's dog.
I left with my ponderings, off to visit Kiba.
I walked in stealth up to Kiba's house, careful to locate him quickly without setting off any alarms.
I found him in his room, looking at the latest dog magazines. Carefully I jumped up on his roof, and snuck in through the window. I let the window slam down again on purpose, to distract Kiba enough to let me grab him from behind. Akamaru was quiet, knowing my intentions with Kiba. I covered his mouth with my hand, and walked him slowly toward the nearest closet. Kiba, seeing it was I, calmed down instantly. However, Sasuke jumped through the window soon after Kiba and I left the room. I was expecting that Sasuke would check up on Akamaru at least once, and I proved to be correct.
We heard Sasuke walking around. I should teach him to be a little more quiet when sneaking around. We also heard him talk to Kiba's mom.
"Where did Kiba go?" he said. Smooth, Sasuke. You seem really friendly that way.
"He probably is outside in town somewhere. Why don't you check the ramen stand? He might be there."
Sasuke didn't reply, but I could hear the door shut and kiba's mom go back to her humming and cooking in the kitchen.
Slowly I released Kiba.
"Do you mind me asking what this is about?" Kiba asked me.
"We're doing a mission, and it appears that the tangible thing Sasuke cares about the most is your dog, Akamaru. I was wondering if I could borrow him until 5:00 or so tonight.
"Umm… sure, but you better take me with you or it will look suspicious." He told me.
I have to hand it to him, he was right. Kiba is a very smart kid, with a smart dog to go with him.
MABUSHII's POV
Sakura is so fun! We laughed and played all day until 5:00 finally hit. WE decided then to go down to the meeting place. According to Sakura, the team was supposed to bring the tangible thing they captured… If they managed to capture anything, that is.
We walked quietly toward the clearing in the park. About half way there, I stopped.
"Sakura?" I started to ask, "What do you think Kakashi's reaction would be if my hands were tied and I actually looked capture?" we both shared and deceitful smile, and she tied up my hands with the headband that's normally kept around her head.
Kakashi was already up and untying my hands by the time we got to the clearing. He seemed frustrated because he underestimated sakura, and couldn't be mad at her for completing her task. (She ended up with an A after all.)
He had sakura explain how she came to the conclusion that I was the 'tangible item' to go after, and how she so carefully plotted how to get me hidden.
Next was Kakashi, who apologized to Sakura for underestimating her and to me for being so naïve as to think I was safe from this game. He then produced the adorable Akamaru from his jacket, and Sasuke nearly fainted from embarrassment and worry over the well being of Kiba's puppy. (As a matter of fact, He didn't put kiba's dog down fro the rest of the meeting.)
Sasuke then produced Hinata, who was confused as to why she was there. Naruto was a little embarrassed and claimed that Hinata being there was because she was just a 'good friend' to Naruto and nothing more. (I think everyone has known of his crush on Hinata for quite some time.)Finally, it was Naruto's turn. He was able to clone himself and pull a one of a kind necklace Inherited to Sakura from the bank.
"You all showed a very good use of skill," said Kakashi.
"However, you all still failed to protect 100 of your valuable items."
Everyones faces were turned downward until Kakashi spoke up again, "Do not think that this is a bad thing. You were expected to fail."
I could have laughed, the confusement following the faces of these children was just so adorable!
"No one can keep 100 of their valuables safe 100 of the time. You all did very well on this exercise!"
Then, the team was dismissed to hang out, and Kakashi sent Kiba over to revive my boss.
He took my hand, and lightly rubbed h is thumb over my hand. My stomach automatically filled with butterflies of happiness!
"I think I should walk you home. It's been a long day for you." He said.
"I agree. I wouldn't' mind being walked home."
Once again, I invited him inside for some hot cocoa and a blanket to warm himself by. Again we talked and enjoyed each other's company, seemingly falling in love all over again.
The difference, however, is that this time he didn't leave.
Hey, does anyone have any ideas for any more dates they want to see or would you all be okay if I went with my original plan to 'fast forward' this to about a year later right before they get married? (I ruined surprise number one, but I'm sure you expected them to get married anyway. :P)
