She had never wanted to punch someone in the face, so much in her entire life.

She was Haruno Sakura, captain of the medic ANBU squad.

Her job was to heal injuries.

But right now, she wanted nothing more than to inflict one.

Normally ANBU missions with Naruto, Shikamaru, and Kiba weren't bad. They laughed, they joked, and they got the job done. But then he decided to some. Sakura hated it when she went on missions with Sasuke. Yes, of course he was her friend, but he was the biggest pain in the ass she has ever had to deal with.

Even more so, when it was his first mission with her as Captain.

He didn't seem to want to believe that she had the ability to lead an ANBU squad into a battle. He had it set in his deranged mind that she was still the stupid, weak, annoying little girl that needed protection. Every single time that she gave an order, he would snort, or roll his eyes, sometimes, he would even open his mouth.

"That plan is flawed Sakura."

"It will never work."

"Why don't we just go around the back?"

"Don't hold hostages, just kill them."

"How did you ever become an ANBU?"

Now, she was standing there, her fists clenched and bleeding, a cut in her forehead making blood flow down her face, and dirt stitched into her uniform. Did Sasuke care? No. He just stood there, berating her. Yelling at her on how he thought that she screwed up.

"You should have hit them from behind, it was stupid Sakura. Your ignorance got the team wounded."

"Actually," Naruto piped up from the back, moving his arm in a circle. "I'm ok. Not hurt at all."

"I'm fine now that Sakura healed me up." Shikamaru added.

Kiba groaned. "I'm just hungry. And what's with you Uchiha, you don't even have a scratch on you."

"Shut up." Sasuke snapped at them before turning back to Sakura. "Why don't you use your head next time and actually think before you send them out. What if those ninja were stronger? We could have suffered major casualties."

Sakura's face started to turn red, her lips pursed and she clenched her fists so hard that she heard something crack. She had had enough of Uchiha Sasuke.

So what does Sakura do when she's had enough of someone?

Why punch them in the face of course.

Sasuke went down to the ground and looked up at the shadow of Sakura standing over him. She grabbed a fistful of the collar of his shirt and hauled him up so that her face was centimeters from his own.

"Sasuke." She growled, her eyes fierce.

"I am wounded. My chakra is nearly drained. I have not slept in two days. I am hungry. And worst of all, I have to pee like a friggin horse! Now is not the best time to piss me off! So listen up, Uchiha! I am the leader of this mission, and you can fall in line, or I will make you fall in line. If you want to act like a little snotty-ass bitch, do it on your own time and quit wasting mine!"

She dropped him back to the ground with a hard shove and straightened out, spitting some blood that got into her mouth before walking away.

Sasuke just sat there.

Stunned.

He just got yelled at.

By Sakura.

He couldn't believe it.

"Did…did she just tell me off?" He mumbled.

Naruto was laughing behind him. "Damn Sasuke! I was so waiting for that!"

Kiba smirked. "You know, she's pretty hot when she's pissed."

Naruto's laughter stopped and he and Sasuke both turned their head to the dog-boy.

"Shut up Kiba."

"But she is right." Shikamaru sighed. "Sasuke, you were out of line. You shouldn't judge her. I've been on missions with Sakura as leader before, and they've all come out successful. She's a good ninja, it's time you realized that."

With a grunt, the three boys pushed themselves off the ground and followed Sakura back to their camp, leaving Sasuke there to gloom.

Two weeks after the incident, Sasuke made a trip to the hospital.

It would have been just an ordinary trip, you know, had it not been at one in the morning.

He saw Sakura there, and he sighed before going up to her.

"Hey."

She shifted her eyes up to him from where she was leaning on the desk, and then grunted.

"What? Have you come to tell me how I should do this job too?"

Sasuke sighed. "Come with me."

"What?" She shook her head. "No."

"Just come with me, ok?"

She planted a hand on her hip. "Why should I?"

"Don't you trust me?"

Sakura snorted. "Well you haven't really given me much reason to, I mean after you broke my twelve-year-old heart repeatedly, then left me on a bench, oh and let's not forget that you tried to kill me after not seeing me for two and a half years. Yeah, trusting you is the first thing on my list."

Sasuke sighed and ran a hand through his hair. What could he say? She was right, after all.

"Look. Just…come with me."

Sakura pierced him with a long hard look, and then sighed sharply.

"…Okay."

She followed him out of the hospital, down the street, past Ino's flower shop, past the weaponry store, past the tiny corner store where Naruto attempted to steal porn as a kid, and finally to the coffee place that was across from the bookstore that Kakashi went to every Saturday.

"Coffee?" She raised a brow at Sasuke.

"You looked tired."

Sakura watched him go into the store, and she couldn't help herself. She started smiling.

She walked in after him, and ordered her drink, watching him pay, and then they sat at a small table in the corner.

"So, why are you doing this?"

Sasuke leaned back in his seat, and looked at anywhere in the store but her. "It's an…apology."

Green eyes widened. Sasuke apologized? Oh, the apocalypse was indeed on its way.

"I shouldn't have questioned your judgment on the mission." He muttered.

Sakura could tell it was hard for him to say all this, which is why she decided to tease him a little.

"Thank you." She replied genuinely. "Apology accepted. You know…this could qualify as a date."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "No."

"Yes it could." She grinned. "You ask me for coffee, well not ask more like demand, and then you pay for it and sit down with me. It's a date."

"Not a date. An apology."

"Oh is that what the kids call it now days?"

"Will you just drink your stupid coffee?"

"You're blushing."

"Shut up."

She grinned behind her cup at the torture that he was sitting in.

But she had to admit; it was still a nice gesture.

"So, Sasuke, when's the next time you're going to piss me off?"

"What?"

"Well," She stared innocently. "I was just wondering, so I could know when you're going to apologize again. I'll try to wear something other than bloody scrubs."

If it were possible, Sasuke would have turned into a lobster.

A/N: I have no idea where this one came from. I really just wanted to write the scene where Sakura chewed out Sasuke. The next chapter is going to be put up on Sunday, as my way of apologizing for being so late with the last one!
