LATE-BLOOMING LOVE CHP.5

Kakashi looked questioningly at the boys, expecting an answer.

"Umm...what?" Asked Naruto, Kakashi's stare making him nervous.

"What about the description??" Naruto rubbed his hand on the back of his head.

"Umm.. I wasn't listening....."

Sasuke piped up. "Not that it would've helped if you did. All the old man said was that it looked like a pink pony. Then he started to explain how he loved fried butterflies in a bit of gravy...."

"Ok, I got it. The man's crazy, and you kids should get used to people like that, you'll deal with plenty of them in your lifetime." Sasuke glared at Naruto, as if to hint. Luckily, at that moment, Naruto was too busy making faces at a barn owl and dancing around.

"Proves my point..." Sasuke muttered. They walked and walked and walked, which gave Sasuke and Sakura some time to think.

[A/N: Notice I didn't mention Naruto thinking...not like he would anyway :P]

Sasuke thought to himself, and took a glance at Naruto. He was happily prancing...he seemed so cheery today. Or maybe he's just stupid. All the same, Sasuke had to admit, Naruto lightened the mood a little...

Then he looked at Sakura. She too was looking at Naruto, very intently, and...smiling?

Could it just be him, or was one corner of Sakura's mouth pointed up? He should knock some sense into that girl. Quickly he ran in front of Sakura and began pushing her lips down.

"Wha...what are you doing, Sasuk......" She was interrupted because Sasuke's lips accidentally brushed against hers.

"HEY SAKURA YOU CREEP! FIRST YOU'RE OGLING NARUTO, AND NOW YOU KISS ME?"

Inner Sasuke [A/N:SINCE WHEN IS THERE AN INNER SASUKE? WHY I OUGHTTA...*Sakura clamps a hand over my mouth*]

INNER SASUKE[A/N: *Sakura steps up and says* Before we were so RUDELY interrupted...] was secretly a little happy. He never really had feelings for Sakura, but the kiss felt good. Besides..maybe if he got Naruto jealous of him, he would want him...

Wait...why was he thinking that??? What the hell had gotten into him....
