I know it's been forever guys, I don't even know if I'll be continuing my other stories. Lot's have stuff have happened in the last year and now I'm looking towards preparing myself for college.
*A week before graduating at the Academy.
.:Messy Eater:.
Sasuke and Sakura were walking down the hall of the academy as the final bell rang.
"I'm worried Sasuke-kun." He glanced Sakura's way to see her pink head bowed, looking towards the floor.
"…about?"
"What if I don't make it as a Genin? And even if I do, what if we're not on the same team?!" He looked at her calmly, already having taken care of the teammate issue.
"You'll make it Sakura. You're top of our class." Thinking she'd be subdued, he looked back towards the center of the hall they were walking down. Just in time to catch Ino and the pink headed soon to be kunoichi glaring daggers at each other. "Ignore her."
"Huh? Oh.." Sakura looked away from Ino, who was sticking out her tongue. Thinking back to what Sasuke had been saying, she replied, "Yeah but only in the book-related areas. I'm one of the lowest when it comes to physical action. And that's 50% if not more of what it takes to be a ninja…"
"You've got your sword, and I'll watch your back."
"We don't even know if we'll be on the same team Sasuke-kun, and yeah, I guess your right about the sword…" She looked back down. Her mood was definitely low. Sasuke sighed.
They walked out into the sunshine; Sakura had to shield her eyes against the unusual brightness. Looking around she noticed the annoying blonde kid called Naruto. "See Sasuke, what if I get stuck with someone annoying and weird like him? Then I'm sure to fail as a kunoichi!"
Naruto, though not hearing what was said, looked up in time to see the pink-haired girl named Sakura. He drooled a bit at how pretty she was (even though pink hair was kinda weird), What if I was assigned Sakura-chan as a teammate? "YEAH!" Everybody around him stopped what they were doing to stare. "..eh heh, heh…" Naruto scratched the back of his head with a goofy grin gracing his face and continued walking to Ichiraku's.
Sasuke thought back to his conversation with Iruka-sensei.
"I want to be on the same team as Haruno Sakura."
"W-well Sasuke, we can't exactly assign teams just at a person's request…"
His brows furrowed.
Iruka looked at the young Uchiha, the last Uchiha for that matter. He thought about how Sakura was always at his side, had always been. This really could be the last person the boy had. Iruka, knowing how it felt to be alone said, "I'll see what I can do, but no promises Sasuke." Boy would he get in trouble if any of superiors found out about this.
Sasuke nodded and walked out.
'Now just who could I put with those two to balance it out?' And when it hit him, he smiled.
Sakura was still hustling forward, no real destination. She was hungry, but lacked an appetite.
"Sakura" Sasuke slowed their pace.
"Yeah?"
"Where do you want to eat?"
"Nowhere, I'm not hungry" she said grudgingly. She really was in a prissy mood today.
"Your stomach's growling" he pointed out.
She huffed out a sigh, accepting defeat. Sasuke always won, she should be used to it by now. She looked up at him, he was peering straight ahead. "Let's eat at your house Sasuke-kun."
Fulfilling her wish, they changed direction to his apartment.
Sakura was busy stuffing her mouth with a bread roll. Sasuke watched as she nibbled with giddiness, her cheeks a little pink. She was simply pleased. He smiled a little, eating his rice.
"Mmm…. You were right Sasuke, I am hungry"
When they finished eating, they stood up to take their dishes to his small, but sufficient kitchen. Sasuke dumped his in the sink, grabbed Sakura's, and did the same. He turned around, and smirked. There were crumbs all over her mouth.
"Sakura" he said, placing his hand on her chin, thumb against her mouth, "You're such a messy eater." In stroke he wipe away all the crumbs and removed his hand. She smiled up at him, green eyes shining, finding their way under his skin and straight to his heart, giving it an erratic beat. God if he ever lost her…
"Thank you Sasuke-kun!" she leaned in for a hug. He wrapped his arms around her, placing one hand in her soft pink hair.
I want our children to have your eyes Sakura. I want them to be beautiful, just like you.
Sorry, this definitely wasn't one of my best. I'm just trying to get back into the style of writing this story. It'll get better from here though!
