Ripples
Sakura skipped across the surface of the water, her bared feet leaving whorls and ripples on her reflections. Not a drop broke free of the skin of the lake, disturbed only by the gentle currents that caused subtle movements. Staring down at her mirror image, the kunoichi did not even blink when several shuriken were flung at her. Without batting an eyelash, she threw her own kunai to deflect them, and they sunk into the clear water. Smirking, the Godiame's apprentice threw five exploding tags at a stepping stone that transformed into a scowling Sasuke who dove away from the paper.
"How did I know this would turn into more than an 'innocent walk', Sasuke-kun?" she teased.
The proud Uchiha did not reply, gruffly taking her hand, and leading her out of the middle of the beautiful lake.
She was taken by surprise when he drew her into his arms, capturing her lips with a heart achingly gentle kiss- a tenderness that he reserved only for her, and she melted into the curve of his body.
Like the ripples in the lake, Sakura and Sasuke are lost to the world; knowing only the other.
-The End-
