Jaded Sakura Blossoms
By: Wings(of Chaos)
Chapter 4: A kiss
The early morning sun shined through Sasuke's window. It hit his eyes; the boy flinched and turned to another side. No avail. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. He was about to get out of bed but was stopped by a silver haired jounin.
"Hello," Kakashi said the to the sleepy goth.
Sasuke grunted, "What the hell are you doing in my bedroom?"
"He speaks," Kakashi teased as he set down his book that he had been reading for the past hour.
"Tell me. Why are you here?" Sasuke asked he was clearly annoyed. He would have slept till at least 6:30 before he woke up. But, no, his sensei just had to wake him up.
"Remember when I said we are going to work on our people skills?" Kakashi inquired. Sasuke nodded, he felt a little apprehension weigh in his heart.
"I wasn't kidding," he concluded. Sasuke sighed.
Sakura walked to Sasuke's house with a basket in her hand. She merely wanted to give the boy some rice balls because she knew that Sasuke wouldn't have eaten anything last night. Once at Sasuke's house she knocked on the door. His house looked a little bit shabby and he lived on the outskirts of town. She sighed and knocked on the door once again. Sakura thought she heard two voices but she wasn't sure. Then she heard footsteps coming to the barrier between the outside and inside the house. The door opened and Sakura was greeted with a shirtless Sasuke.
"Uh, hi, Sakura," Sasuke said nervously.
Sakura blushed a little. She never seen Sasuke in his boxers before, "Hi Sasuke, I brought some breakfast."
"That's great, we are going to need some energy for our training this morning," a voice said from the black abyss called Sasuke's house. Kakashi appeared behind Sasuke patting his head. "For this morning training we are going to work on Sasuke's people skills. And you are good person to help Sasuke."
Sakura looked at her sensei and Sasuke. "Suuure, I'll help."
"Good, good," Kakashi said ushering the bewildered girl in.
Sasuke sighed and closed the door.
The pink haired girl looked around the house. It was small; a good house for a minor. It had a small kitchen and a small living area. That was all she could see as she was ushered into the kitchen and to the small wooden table.
Sasuke was cold, hungry, and embarrassed. Today, he was awakened by his sensei. Then Sakura saw him shirtless, that wasn't a bad thing but it was embarrassing.
The boy put his head on the table and covered it with his arms. He was more embarrassed than tired. A warm hand shook him. The contact of the warm appendage made him jump.
"Sorry," Sakura said sheepishly, "Do you want something to eat?"
"Aa," he muttered and grabbed one of the delicious rice balls.
"Sensei," the pink haired said.
"Hmmm…"
"What about Naruto?" she asked wondering if Naruto was going to bust through the door demanding that they should train.
"Oh, I took care of it," Kakashi said suspiciously.
*~*Naruto's Apartment*~*
The alarm screamed when it was programmed to awake the sleeping boy. The boy sat up, stretched, then yawned. He rubbed the sleep from his eye and blinked.
Blinked again.
And blinked once more.
"Oh. My. Kami. Ramen!" the boy screamed in happiness. His small tiny bedroom was filled to the ceiling with ramen cups. They ranged from noodles to roast beef. His cabinet for ramen could only hold like 75 cups. But what to do with the rest?
"Well, the sensei is usually late anyway…"
*~*Sasuke's House*~*
"Alright let's get started," Kakashi announced, "Stand up."
The two teenagers stood up and looked at their sensei apprehensively.
"Sasuke, when you greet people who are friends you say," Kakashi instructed. Sasuke looked at him like he was crazy.
"Go on say hi," Kakashi ordered.
"Hi," he said to Sakura. She nodded.
"Then you would say how are you today?" Kakashi said.
"How are you today?" Sasuke said robotically.
"Fine and you," replied Sakura.
"Good," Sasuke answered.
"Good, we have the first part down," Kakashi said, "Now we go on to how we speak to girls."
"What!?" Sakura exclaimed, jaw gaping slightly.
"Now, now, Sakura, it will be alright we won't do anything too intimate," Kakashi reassured. This didn't make Sakura feel any better.
"If you have a close friend who is a girl, you usually hug them," the silver haired jounin instructed.
Sasuke stared at Sakura. He wasn't going to do this unless Sakura moves to do it first. The pink haired genin sighed and held open her arms. "Sasuke let's get this over with."
Sasuke stepped into her circle of arms. He wrapped his arm around her lithe waist and hesitantly put his head on her shoulder. Sakura almost fell asleep in Sasuke's arms. The warmth he was emitting was so comforting. His black locks were making a good pillow. Sasuke felt like he could crush her frail body. The black haired boy felt comfortable in her arms. And safe.
They both stayed in each other's warmth for longer then Kakashi expected.
"Isn't this cute," he teased, "While you are there, Sasuke, why don't you give her a peck on the cheek."
Sasuke pulled back a little and searched Sakura's eyes for permission. She nodded slightly. Swiftly, he pressed his lips to her cheek and pulled back immediately. The two teenagers blushed slightly. They still didn't move from each other's arms.
"Then if it is your girlfriend, you would give her a kiss on the lips," Kakashi instructed with a mischievous glint in his eye.
Sasuke ripped himself from the girl's arms, "I draw the line there Kakashi." He would never ever take advantage of Sakura even it was for a lesson. Sasuke was blushing a little at the prospect of kissing the pink haired genin.
Sakura stared at the black haired boy arguing with their sensei. 'Well, I could kiss him. It's not like we are starting anything. It's just lips on lips…no tongue. I hope,' Sakura thought to herself.
Her face set in determination, she marched over to Sasuke. Sasuke looked at the girl like a deer caught in headlights. The girl grabbed his head and planted her lips on his.
Sasuke stood rigid with surprise. Then he reacted, deepening the kiss. He wrapped his arms once again around her waist. Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body into his. The black haired boy fingers rubbed the edge of her waist. Tongues dueled as things started to heat up.
Kakashi decided to put a stop to things before they get out of hand. "Ahem," he coughed. They still didn't stop kissing. "Ahem," he tried. They still didn't stop. The silver haired jounin sighed. He got up and pushed the kissing couple apart.
The two teenagers breathed heavily and stared at each other. Kakashi glanced between the two. 'Things are going to get interesting for now on,' he thought, 'Very interesting.'
Kakashi broke the silence, "Let's head off to the bridge."
*~*Bridge*~*
Naruto sighed and looked at the pathway up to the bridge. He didn't recognize any heads of his teammates. Then he looked at the top archway of the bridge. No sign of his sensei. Figures. But it was still odd that his other comrades hadn't arrived yet. He sighed and pulled another cup out of his orange jacket. The boy hadn't worn the thing for a couple of years. With his orange jacket he had on his usual black shorts and his sandals.
He looked over to the pathway again to see three familiar heads. He ran over in excitement dropping his ramen cup.
"Sensei!! Your late!" he accused.
The silver haired jounin 'hmm'ed and continuing reading his naughty book. Seeing that he wouldn't get an answer he went back to see Sakura and Sasuke.
"Hey, where have you two been?" he asked curiously.
Sakura blushed slightly and Sasuke looked elsewhere. Naruto smirked and snickered, "Fruit Loops."
Sakura cheeks went crimson and smacked Naruto over the head, "Shut up."
"Owwww. What was that for-" Naruto was interrupted by a quiet chuckle. Sakura and Naruto turned to see Sasuke chuckle covering his mouth. His shoulders were shaking slightly.
"Sasuke are you laughing," Sakura asked disbelieving, her tone slightly teasing.
The onyx eyed boy coughed profusely trying to recover from his laughing. He had his usual impassive expression except for a very small smile.
"Maybe."
Naruto stared at Sasuke oddly. Something must have happened while he was not there. And he intended to find out.
"Kids, gather around," Kakashi announced motioning for them to gather around him, "Since we have finished our teamwork training we are going to work on something else."
"You mean jutsu!" Naruto exclaimed.
"No, no, synchronization," Kakashi tried to explain.
"What? What is synchronization?" Naruto asked bewildered.
"Let me explain. Synchronization is an alignment of things, it could be used with music or without," Sakura explained.
"Hnnn…I still don't get it," Naruto said confused.
"You will get it eventually, come on we will be late for our appointment," Kakashi ordered leading the way to somewhere.
"Where are we going?" Sakura asked confused a little bit herself.
"To the ballet studio," Kakashi said as if it was the ordinary thing to say.
"What!?"
Weee! Question time!
Q: What are the couples?
A: Hmmm…you can kind of see that I'm leaning towards Saku/Sasu. But this chapter was the start of sexual tension. And I like stories with sexual tension because it makes it more fun. But this isn't official. There weren't any 'I love you's passed so, it isn't official. Er…right anyway there probably will be Hin/Naru because I have a funny scenario for them.
Q: Is there going to be a Neji/Saku/Sasu triangle?
A: Yes, because that just adds more to the sexual tension. Weeee!
Q: Where is this story going?
A: Hmmm…this story is practically retelling the story of Naruto, just taking away or adding something to it. So, basically this is MY Naruto universe. If you wanna borrow it you just have to ask.
Q: Am I going to give Sakura a special attack?
A: Maybe, I mean everyone else on the team have a special attack thing. But in that one episode where she was fighting Ino in the chunin exam. I think they mentioned that Sakura had a strong mental shield thing. So, that might come to play eventually. Also, I didn't put inner Sakura in…I think I forgot. Lol.
Q: Why is Sasuke quiet?
A: Last chapter I kind of just didn't think of putting in Sasuke's dialogue but now once I think about that's probably a good thing. :P
