Lots of things happen when Sakura forgets.

This is what happens when Sakura forgets her...

Sugar: Part 2

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Pulling her frazzled pink head from the now thawing freezer, Sakura slammed the helpless door in a most ungracious manner. 'Why does my team constantly DO THIS TO ME?' The frantic woman screamed inside her mind, desperately searching for an explanation. 'This is one of his shinobi tricks...I just know it is!' Was her final thought as she began pacing around her miniscule kitchen.

"SAKURAAAAA WE NEED TEA!" Effortlessly flowed from Naruto's mouth, albeit a little too loud for the ears of his teammates. "Left. Right. Left. RIG-" Sakura's barely audible whispering was cut off mid sentence and midstride. "YELL AT ME AGAIN AND YOU WON'T NEED TEA!" Came the response of the lone kunoichi of the group while 'WE'LL BEAT YOU TO A PULP! CHA SUCKER!' Inner Sakura continued her rant.

Finding the tea kettle in one of the lower cabinets, Sakura commenced her ritual. First, the azalea haired woman obsessively washed the kettle until it literally showed her reflection; more of a hazy, cotton candy-colored blob. Next came the fastidious preparation of Sakura's tea, two different kinds; after all, Naruto can drink the same tea as her and Sasuke, right? No.

"Picky bitch" was her inaudible, contemptuous whisper when she locked her eyes onto Naruto's loose tea leaves. From her position in the kitchen, Sakura heard what sounded like a spitting of some sort along with a loud clapping sound. 'I swear if Naruto choked because he's boycotting drinking anything until he gets his tea...I'LL DROWN HIM IN IT!' Was her menacing thought as she snatched the whistling kettle from the stove and slammed it onto the counter after hearing said knucklehead's voice.

Setting her impeccably decorated teapot and cups on a tray, Sakura sauntered out of the kitchen.

WHILE SAKURA WAS IN THE KITCHEN...

"Hey Teme, I bet my tea is going to be better than yours!" Came the roaring statement from the loudmouth of the group. A light snicker followed the citrine-haired boy's statement, along with a "Yes, if you prefer the addition of saliva" from a rather amused artist. Standing up and pointing to Sai with a hushed voice, just in case Sakura was listening, Naruto let out his inner chemist. "HEY! SAKURA WOULD NEVER PUT SALT IN MY TEA!, DON'T BE STUPID" Only sitting down once all of his teammates mouths were hanging open in disbelief.

'What a fucking idiot' Was Sasuke's inner musing, while he offered an eloquent "Hn" as his response. Confused with Naruto's response, the only thing to do was ask "When was the last time you hit your head, Naruto?" Sai seemed genuinely concerned. Deciding now was the time to clear up Naruto's botched meaning, Kakashi offered his two cents. "Ahem...I think the word you meant to use was salify, Naruto" Officially pleased with himself when his young subordinates quirked their mouths in an O shape.

Deciding to tune out the further bickering of his three pupils, Kakashi stayed silent. Instead, the silver-haired man chose to relax and sneak a sip of milk while Naruto's pestering nose was out of his business, for the time being. Just as his ever-present mask was down and his lips were sucking in the refreshing sweetness of milk, he heard it.

Equipped with ears sharper than Kiba's, there was no doubt the copy nin just heard the team's delicate, little blossom muttering to herself in the kitchen.

"Picky bitch" Floated to his ears as easily as a Sakura blossom dancing with the wind. Either from humor or disbelief, it isn't known, Kakashi did something no one saw coming; something very uncharacteristic for the silver-haired jonin. Before he could stop himself, milk was spewing from his unclothed lips; gaining the attention of everyone at the table.

Naruto sat wide-eyed, just staring at his former sensei, in front of him, in disbelief. Bright, citrine hair drooped and dripped white, creamy liquid; Cerulean eyes blazed with emotions; Mouth gaping wide, almost hitting the table. Reaching over, Sai pounded on Kakashi's back; fully prepared to save the man from choking to death. While the highly embarrassed man pulled up his mask in a flash, and tried to convince the emotionally crippled man that he was, indeed, alright, something else was happening.

Taking a deep breath in, Naruto prepared himself; successfully drawing Sasuke's attention. Resisting the urge to scoot away and out of reach due to the impending blows that were about to be dealt, Sasuke braced himself...and his ears. Sighing along with 'Nothing can ever be normal in this group' was his thought right before Naruto's inevitable outburst, and 'Not even that idiot's response' after the loudmouth's outburst.

Drawing a deep breath into his lungs, Naruto let loose. "AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Was barked out along with Naruto's hands coming in contact with his knees repeatedly; at one point even banging his head against the table. "Uhhh it wasn't that funny?" The silver-haired man half questioned along with half stated, also chuckling when his subordinate's asinine behavior bordered abusive when he started bonking his cranium against the wood table.

Murmurs of "YOUR FACE" were mixed throughout the knucklehead's continued "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHFACEAHAHAHAH!" Only stopping when his insouciant comrade slapped him in the face with a napkin along with a declaration of "Hn..Sakura's coming."

Absently 'So he's learned to respect Sakura's wrath?' drifted into Kakashi's mind as he observed the two young eternal rivals; the entrance of one pink-haired woman caught his attention. Averting his gaze, the silver-haired man watched as his female subordinate announced her arrival. Setting down the tray, Sakura's movements were as graceful as a samurai trained in the way of the blade; until she caught the fork Naruto launched at Sasuke and then proceeded to 'fork' him...right through his hand.

Multitasking, Sakura began to heal the orange-clad shinobi while passing out the teacups. Placing cups in front of a comically crying Naruto, a steel-faced Sasuke, and a wistfully smiling Sai; apparently he wanted to see Naruto flail around just a bit longer. Sakura purposely left out her squad leader, not forgetting the incident in which he left her as a molten pile of pink goo.

'WE DARE YOU TO SAY SOMETHING CHAAA!' Inner Sakura challenged the perplexed looking jonin sitting across from her. Clearing his throat, Kakashi's life flashed before his eyes as he said "Ahem...I would like a cup too" Instantly regretting it when a malicious grin tore through the bubblegum-haired woman's lips.

"Of course, hydration is imperative to survival" Grin turning as saccharine as her tone. Apparently she was being facetious, because as she handed the teacup to her captain, she shattered it and lay the pieces before him. Taking pride in his widened, charcoal orb, 'I'm still a shinobi...MUTHAFUCKAA' Was her thought that was finished by a very pleased Inner Sakura.

Before Kakashi could respond, the team's walking mouth announced his dilemma. "SAKURAAAA I need sugar!" Was declared to the whole apartment; along with rest of the apartment building and its inhabitants. Questioning what she thought might be a hallucination, Sakura responded with a well thought out "What?"

"I...ahaa..can't drink my tea without sugar" Was the vibrant, young man's response as he sheepishly scratched the back of his head. Knowing they didn't have a chance in hell of saving their imbecilic comrade, the rest of Team Kakashi's men just sat waiting; counting down '3...2...1.'

"WHAAAAT? You. Are. Going. To. Ruin the tea I worked so hard to prepare for you with...SUGAR?" Trying to stay calm towards the beginning of her sentence only resulted in clipped, embittered words; the end was full on indignant screaming. Throwing a chakra-laden fist into the suspecting blonde's head, the angry kunoichi stalked off; muttering "I'll get you sugar alright...I'll shove a whole pound down your throat...IDIOT".

*SLAM!* *BAM!* *WHAAM!* Were just some of the myriad of sounds resonating throughout the small apartment. 'Where is it?' The pinkette frantically thought to herself, ripping open another cabinet in her small kitchen. 'How can this be? Oh NO' Circulated throughout her mind, over and over as she continued to search. Upon finding the last cabinet void of any sugar or honey, Sakura's realization began to sink in 'I forgot to get the sugar last time I was out'.

Standing still for approximately thirty seconds, the young woman was determined to be a great hostess. With a final 'Maybe I can use something else that has sugar in it' the azalea headed woman made her way out of the kitchen and to her bedroom. Calling out to the boys in the dining room "Hold on Naruto! I spilled something on myself while I was looking for the sugar, I'm going to change" before she disappeared behind the privacy of her door.

As soon as her room was secure, Sakura darted towards the one place she was confident was holding what she so desperately was seeking. Ripping open the drawer of her nightstand that held her panties, preferring to keep her undergarments close by for emergency packing, Sakura found what she was looking for. Small, oblong shapes of multiple vibrant colors stood out among the various pairs of lingerie. Reaching her hand towards one of the tin foil shapes, Sakura absently thought 'I hope Naruto will melt different flavors of chocolate or hard candy into his tea'.

Grasping the foil wrapped candy in her petite hands, Sakura discovered something. Opening her hand, the woman found the foil resting in her palm crumpled; empty. "Huh...I dont remember eating this" She stated to no one in particular, reaching for the rest of the candies. "What? I ate all of them? I'm usually not this forgetful" Was her statement upon finding the rest of the seemingly untouched foils to be empty.

Tossing them into the bin beside her nightstand drawer, the woman was once again left to think. Casting her eyes back towards the inside of the drawer before shutting it for good; her jade orbs caught a glimpse of her answer. "Could I?" Was uttered almost silently as she devised a plan to sate Naruto's requirement.

A blur of pink whizzing by caught all of the men's attention. "I'll be right there!" Was called out from the kitchen as a cacophony of cabinets opening and slamming shut once again sounded throughout the apartment. The noise only stopping when the men heard a definitive "This should work just fine".

Sakura sauntered from the kitchen, a medium-sized cylindrical, porcelain container in her hand. Kakashi and the rest of the young men eyed their female teammate warily, thinking 'That's not sugar'; 'I wonder what she's up to' Was the team leader's extra inquiry.

Hand slightly shaking with trepidation as she settled the container before Naruto, Sakura spoke. "Here Naruto, this is a simple syrup, it's easier than dissolving sugar in your tea" She spoke with such a confident tone but it shook as she came to a finish; Kakashi caught a glimmer of mischief accompanied by worry swirling in her green depths.

The woman who possessed rose-colored hair waited with bated breath as her blonde teammate poured the clear liquid into his tea. 'Ino's gift did come in handy' Was her only thought as she watched her friend begin to down half the contents of his cup. Declaring "Hmmm...this taste's weird" Naruto took another sip of his sweetened tea.

*Drip* *Drip* *Drip* "Bluhh Thakura...my lipth are going numb" Mumbled a certain blonde who was now dribbling tea from the biggest orifice on his face to the top of the table. All of the members of Team Kakashi stared with eyes as wide as saucers at the now quiet hyperactive shinobi who was letting the rest of his tea ooze out of his mouth; not that he could control it.

Picking up the cup to taste the ingredients, Sai was stopped by Kakashi. "Hold on...let me have a look" Was all the jonin muttered before he swept the cup away from the artist. Eyes widening comically as the silver-haired man locked gazes with her as he lifted the cup to his nose, Sakura almost fainted.

"What do you smell senpai?" Came the curious inquiry from Sai, followed with "Yea, whath in mah dink". Desperately trying to keep her breathing even, Sakura could only stare as her captain inhaled the contents of the frail teacup. 'I dont believe it' Was the copy nin's devious thought as he immediately recognized the scent; confirming his suspicions.

"Aaah" Was the only word he chose to voice; his young subordinate's were obviously unhappy. "WELL WHATH ITH IT!" Shrieked an exasperated Naruto who didn't even think to glare daggers at his female comrade; unlike Sasuke. Kakashi's reply shocked only one person in the room and left the others in a state of severe confusion.

"Well nothing is wrong..." He began, drawing in their attention. Finishing with "Except I'm not particularly a fan of 'Raging Watermelon' myself"

With Kakashi's statement, a couple of things happened. They happened indeed.

1: Naruto continued to slobber like a dog all over the table.

2: Sakura fell backwards with a comical cry of disbelief and passed out.

3: Not wanting to be left out, Sai took a sip of the tea too.

4: Sasuke's eyebrow twitched and he scoffed.

Standing up, Kakashi answered all questions with one announcement. "Sakura obviously isn't feeling well so I'll take her to her room" Was called out over the older man's shoulder as he carried his former student to her room. Dropping her from a slight elevation above the bed, Sakura was jarred awake.

Clearing his throat to gain her immediate attention, the light-haired shinobi leaned in close. Bringing himself down to her level, Kakashi maneuvered his head just perfectly. Feeling her entire body freeze in shock and anticipation, the older man made sure to let her feel his scalding breath on her lower ear and neck.

"Next time you decide to feed your teammate flavored lube, make sure it isn't the numbing type" After his statement, the flabbergasted woman glued her back to the bed. Eyes wide and searching, the cotton candy haired woman stuttered "You...How..M-my d-drawe-" before she was cut off by a deep, husky voice.

Everything her senses picked up was masculine; from the smell that was Kakashi all the way to his deep baritone. Making sure she didn't have enough time for her thoughts to completely process, the man baffled her some more. "I'm more of a dark chocolate and 'Sinful Cherry' type" Were the last words she heard from the man before he exited her sanctuary; leaving behind an already fainted Sakura.

With Kakashi's statement, Sakura realized a couple of things. She realized indeed.

1: Kakashi knew she fed Naruto flavored lube.

2: Kakashi mentioned liking dark chocolate...the type of chocolate that she didn't remember eating.

3: For Kakashi to have known that she had those items in her possession, he would've had to look in her drawer.

4: "THAT PERVERT" Was the last thought the pink haired satan had before her mind exploded with indignation and she passed out.
