It was like a dream as Sakura walked towards the day's meeting place. The
past three days, the wonderful kisses- it was too much for her girlish mind
to bear.
"Hello, Sakura-chan!" cried Naruto, actually running over to her. He looked
her up and down, noting the remaining bandages (one on her right leg, her
left arm, and the one under her shirt).
"Are you okay, Sakura-chan? Are you sure that you should be up? I was so
worried! What happened?" The blonde bombarded his crush with a seemingly
endless stream of questions.
"Naruto! Shut up and let me talk!" She walked over and sat on a rock and
cleared her throat. "I was up in a tree, about to pick the plant we were
after, and the branch snapped. I got cut up, but as you know, Sasuke found
me and helped me out. I am okay now." She was deceptively calm and passive
towards the hyper-worried boy.
"Are you sure? No fever?" His hand was smacked away before it could touch
the girl.
"Naruto, baka, I am okay!" she yelled, and the boy shrank away.
"Just checking," he said with a sheepish grin. Sakura sighed and patted his
shoulder.
"Thanks." Naruto looked at her questioningly, but didn't reject the sudden
change of attitude.
"Sasuke-kun, good morning!" said the girl, ignoring Naruto once again as a
raven-haired boy neared them.
Today, he actually made the effort to smile at Sakura before sitting down,
leaving Naruto very much confused. Sakura scooted closer to him, blushing
as always.

Kakashi-sensei was met with his usual tongue lashing (it's an expression,
meaning someone yelled at him (not someone attacking him with their
mouths!)), and continued on nonplussed.
"Well, due to the events of yesterday, I figured that you guys could have
the day off," he said casually. "I mean, Naruto probably wants to go eat,
Sasuke would like to train, Sakura may want to sleep off any remaining
injuries, and I personally want a decent bath." The three cringed at the
last statement, but wholeheartedly agreed that they should have the day
off. Sasuke and Sakura, for reasons other than what the teacher had
expected. They exchanged knowing glances at each other, silently knowing
how they would spend their day.
"Well then, I'll see you here tomorrow at 0700 hours." With that, he walked
off.
"I hate military code," muttered Naruto as he began to get up. When he
noticed the other two not moving, he got curious. "Ne? Sakura-chan, do you
need help getting up?" he asked. She shook her head.
"No, Naruto, I'm all set. Tell you what. How about tomorrow after practice
I treat you to a bowl of ramen?" Her voice reeked sweetness, and Sasuke
raised an eyebrow.
"Really? What's the catch?" replied Naruto, slightly suspicious but happy
nonetheless.
"Your house has to be perfectly spotless," she finished, smiling inwardly.
"Wahoo!" Naruto yelled, pumping a fist before running off. Sasuke looked at
her, slightly angry.
"What was that all about?" His voice reeked danger.
"No, no, Sasuke-kun," she said, resting a hand lightly on his shoulder.
"Naruto's place is a pigsty, so it will keep him away from us all day." She
smiled, and so did Sasuke.
"Clever," he said simply. He leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on the
lips. "I have to say that I like that."
Sakura looked at him with bliss in her eyes.
"Well then, where will we go today?" he asked simply. Inner Sakura looked
at him, finally seeing a kind and gentle Sasuke that had never surfaced
before. The burden that shone in his eyes was replaced by affection and
contentment as they sat together.
"Why don't we just hang around at my place?" said Sasuke suddenly, after a
moment of silence from Sakura. She gulped, for no real reason whatsoever.
"Sure, Sasuke-kun!" They both stood up and took each other's hand,
unknowingly entering what would become a very interesting day.
But a set of eyes watched the secret couple, and after hearing the
conversation, decided it was in his best interest to 'chaperone' the two.
The figure disappeared into the trees.
