Chapter 7- WHAT!

Sakura and Sasuke reach the apartment. Sasuke walked in while Sakura stayed outside the door.

Why is Sasuke-kun acting so weird? Something must be wrong. Sakura thought to herself.

Sasuke had noticed that she had stopped fallowing him. He turned around and looked at her. Something must be on Sakura's mind. Why did I say that I would help her convince Kakashi to let her go? Why did I tell her that she could train with me this afternoon? She's weak. All she'll do is slow me down. Sasuke thought to himself. "Coming Sakura?" Sasuke asked.

"Ya. I can make lunch if you want me to Sasuke-kun." Sakura said snapping out of her thoughts.

"Sure." Sasuke said in response. "I'll be in my room if you need me."

"Okay." Sakura said. I wonder what he's going to do? "What do you want?"

"Just make what ever." Sasuke said heading to his room.

Sakura headed to the kitchen and thought about what to make. I could make rice. No. How about ramen? Na. What could I make? Sakura looked around the kitchen to see what there was when she heard an electric guitar coming from close by. Is that Sasuke-kun? I didn't know he played. She thought.Sakura went to find the source of the sound. She walked down the hall were their rooms were. It's getting louder it must be Sasuke-kun. He's good. As Sakura got closer to the door she started to hear a voice. Is he singing too? Sakura cracked the door open enough that she could see him. He's really good. Why didn't he tell me that he played guitar? Did he think that I would tell everyone? I wish he would trust me. What's he singing? I want to listen to him but I have to make lunch. I know I will stay here and listen while I think of something to make. After a while of listening to Sasuke it came to her. "Sukiyaki!" Sakura yelled putting her hands over her mouth after words.

Sasuke immediately stopped playing and looked at the door where the voice had come from. He suddenly realized that Sakura had been watching him. "I thought you were making lunch." Sasuke said opening the door completely.

"I was but I couldn't think of what to make, that's when I heard you playing." Sakura said going pink in the face from embarrassment. "Now I know what I'm going to make. I'm going to make Sukiyaki if that's alright with you."

"Fine. Do you need help?" Sasuke said hopping that she wouldn't.

"No I'll find everything. I'll tell you when I'm ready." Sakura said happily.

"Try not to get distracted again. I'm not one to complain but I am hungry."

"Sorry." Sakura said turning and heading back to the kitchen.

When she reached the kitchen again she started looking for the ingredients she needed. Thinly sliced Beef, shirataki noodle, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, yaki-dofu, sukiyaki sauce. When she had everything out she sliced each item (except for the sukiyaki sauce) into bite-size pieces. She arranged all the ingredients neatly on a plate and placed it on the table. At that point she started looking for a hot plate. When she found one she also placed it on the table and turned it on.

"Sasuke-kun, it's ready," she yelled back to him.

After a few seconds she could hear his footsteps approaching. Sasuke came down the hall and entered the kitchen. When he came in he was surprised how the food had been set on the table, nice and neat. Sakura did all this? She really does know what she is doing when it comes to cooking. Sasuke thought to himself as he sat down at the table. "It looks good" Sasuke said.

"Thanks" Sakura said blushing. "Let's eat." Sakura said placing the Beef on the hot plate. Then added the Sukiyaki sauce. When the Sukiyaki sauce started to boil she placed the rest of the food on the hot plate. When the food was soft she said, "It's ready go ahead and eat. I hope you like it."

"Thanks" Sasuke said filling up his plate. Sasuke hesitated before taking the first bite. When he took a bite it surprised him on how well it tasted. Sakura made this. This is really good. At that he started to chow down on the Sukiyaki.

Sakura sat there watching Sasuke eat. He must really be hungry. Sakura thought to herself watching Sasuke eating like there was no tomorrow. It looks like he likes my cooking. That's probably the only thing he likes about me. Sakura thought to herself. With out meaning to Sakura looked down out of her disappointing thought.

Sasuke noticed that Sakura was not eating and now she looked upset. "Sakura are you going to eat?" Sasuke said after emptying his mouth.

"I'm not really hungry." Sakura said quietly.

"What's wrong, Sakura, this is unlike you?" Sasuke asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, Nothing at all." Sakura said with a fake smile on her face.

"You'll be to weak to train if you don't eat." Sasuke said trying to get Sakura to eat.

"Fine I'll eat." Sakura said giving in to Sasuke.

Neither Sakura nor Sasuke talked the rest of the meal event though Sasuke wanted to compliment on how good the food was. When they were done eating Sasuke was the first to speak. "I'll clean up the table, Sakura."

"Oh ok, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said "But you don't have to."

"I'm going to though." Sasuke said. "You go get ready to go."

"Ok, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said without objecting. Sakura went to her room. All I'll need is my kunais and shurikins. Sakura thought to herself as she put her pouch on her leg.

"Sakura are you ready to go?" Sasuke yelled from down the hall.

"Uhh… Ya" Sakura said making sure she had everything. Sakura can out of her room and ran down the hall to Sasuke.

"Then lets go." Sasuke said in his uncaring voice.

They were headed to the training area on the other side of town. They had to go through town to get there though. All the girls in town watched and whispered to one another as Sakura and Sasuke walked by.

I can only guess what there talking about. "How did Sakura get Sasuke-kun for herself?" I'll give them something to talk about. Inner Sakura said. Sakura gently intertwined her hand in Sasuke's.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke turned and whispered to Sakura.

"I want to give these girls something to talk about." Sakura said devilishly.

"…" Sasuke half smiled at what Sakura said. "Let's give them something big to talk about. Come here." Sasuke said stopping and pulling Sakura towards him.

"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura questioned.

Sasuke placed his hand gently on the back of her neck and lightly started pushing her towards him. Sakura's heart started beating loudly. Sasuke-kun's going to kiss me! Inner Sakura yelled. Booth Sakura and Sasuke closed their eyes and Sasuke gently kissed Sakura on the lips.

"WHAT!" All the girls around them yelled in unison the feel to the ground (Anime Style).

Sasuke pulled away gently from Sakura. Now she'll think that I like her. Sasuke thought to himself as he watched Sakura stand there with her eyes closed. "Sakura, ready to go."

"Huh?" Sakura said coming back to reality. "Umm Ya."

"Sakura! What are you… why did you… I'm going to kill you." A voice said from the group of girls around them.

"Why should I explain my self to you Ino-pig?" Sakura said recognizing the voice.

"You won't touch her. I'm supposed to protect her for a month. Right, Sakura?" Sasuke said.

"Ya. You know I just got out of the hospital and all and Kakashi-sensei told him to protect me." Sakura said. "Come on Sasuke. Weren't we going to go train?"

"Ya. Let's go." Sasuke said calmly.

Sakura and Sasuke continued heading to the training grounds. The training area was deep in the forest, covered with many trees, a river on the side of the grounds, and a small opening in the center.

"Sasuke-kun, what was that for back there?" Sakura asked.

"You said you wanted to give them something to talk about." Sasuke said.

"So you don't…" Sakura started.

"No, Sakura. Now lets train." Sasuke said.

"Ok" Sakura said.

"…" Sasuke stood ready for Sakura to attack. She won't be able to take me on. She hasn't trained in a month. Sasuke thought to himself.

"Here I come." Sakura said.

"Don't announce it just do it." Sasuke said.

Sakura came up to Sasuke and tried to kick him.

"Won't work." Sasuke said swinging his own leg around and hit Sakura on her side only to poof into a log. She was able to block that kick that fast. From behind Sasuke he heard a quiet laugh.

"he he." Sakura laughed from behind Sasuke.

"Lucky chance." Sasuke said coldly.

"Ya I know." Sakura said sadly. "To bad I not that good."

"You could be if you tried harder and trained more." Sasuke said calmly.

"Now you sound like Kakashi-sensei." Sakura said disappointedly. "Sakura, you need to train more. Come on Sakura try harder." Sakura said in low voice trying to sound like Kakashi. "Maybe he's right. Maybe I shouldn't be an ninja."

"…" Sasuke didn't know what to say. What is Sakura decided not to be a ninja anymore? It would be a lot different without Sakura on the same team as him. What would Sakura do in her spare time that she would have? "Your decision. I will not try to stop you but what would Naruto and I do with out you?"

By now Sakura had moved in front of Sasuke and was looking in his eyes. What's he talking about? Him and Naruto never need my help. All I am is dead weight. I wish I could do mare but I'm to weak. I think in his own way Sasuke is trying to get me to stay as a ninja. "Sorry Sasuke-kun, but everything has come at me so fast I feel like I can't do anything anymore." Sakura said sitting down.

"Why don't you learn a new technique?" Sasuke suggested calmly.

"…" Sakura looked at Sasuke happily. Is Sasuke-kun trying to help me?

"I could teach you a technique. Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu, Katoni Kanyuu, or you could come up with your own." Sasuke said trying to make Sakura happy.

"You would do that for me?" Sakura questioned.

"Why not that is a way for you to train right?" Sasuke said.

"Thank you Sasuke-kun." Sakura said politely.

"For what?" Sasuke questioned.

"Helping me." Sakura said. "Can you teach me the to attacks now? I can work on my own later."

"We can start that tomorrow. But now I have a score to settle." Sasuke said getting ready to fight.

"Ya I guess you do. Well come on then." Sakura said standing up with a smile on her face.

Sasuke and Sakura kept fighting till Sakura could no longer attack. She had spent a lot of her Chakera on Kage Bunshin's that had little affect on Sasuke (Go figure). Sakura lied exhausted on the ground. Sasuke went and picked her up in his arms. "Come on Sakura lets go home your exhausted. I'll carry you." Sasuke said calmly half smile ling.

"Thanks Sasuke-kun." Sakura said laying his head against his chest and falling asleep.

She looks so innocent and peaceful when she's asleep. What the hell am I thinking? Sasuke thought heading towards town. All the girls form earlier today had disappeared and the city lied in silence as Sasuke entered his apartment and laid Sakura on her bed. She'll be ok with out me watching her tonight.

SomeWhere near the place where Sakura and Sasuke had been training.

"Sasuke seems to treasure that girl in some way." A voice from somewhere in the trees said silently.

"Do you think it would help our efforts to take her?" Another voice answered.

"Not now we would have all of Konoha on us. We'll hold off for right now. We may be wrong about the girl." The first voice said in response.
