Author's note: Back on track! now lets get to the story!!
Team 7 and Kiki were now returning. Now they walked in silence. Well, would you talk to someone you almost looked at naked! Not to mention that that someone -specially two raged kunouichis- threw rocks at you until you ran away! But well, back to team 7, Sasuke up front, Naruto and Sakura in the middle, and Kiki at the back.
Then, "Sasuke- kun, can we rest a little bit?" came a shout from the back where Kiki was. sasuke looked at everyone on the back.
"Hai"
So they stopped a little while.
Sasuke was perched on a tree, Naruto was sleeping under that tree, Kiki was sitting on the ground meditating a bit and Sakura was sitting with Kiki watching how she exerted a bit of chakra through the ground. After a while Kiki was rested enough to continue and was jumping on a tree next to Sasuke's. when she got to Sasuke's level she just looked at him and continued up the tree. Soon after that She heard a shout,
"Kiki we're leaving!"
"Coming!" the kunouichi shouted and just jumped down from where she was.
"Okay, lets go," Kiki said
Soon team 7 reached the borders of konoha where they left. Kakashi was waiting for them.
"Yo! Did you bring the scrolls?"
"Hai," The four said
"Well, I'll get these to Hokage-sama and you guys have the week off!"
"Yay!!" Naruto and Kiki said at the same time
"I'm leaving!" Naruto said
"See ya later, guys!" Kiki said while running to the Ichiraku (sp?) with Naruto
"Bye!" Kakashi said disappearing
Sakura saw that the only left were she and sasuke and took chances by saying," Sasuke- kun, would you like to come to the Ichiraku with me?" Sakura knew she would be rejected again but," Ok..."
"Thanks!" Sakura said to him and they started walking
Kiki and Naruto were already in the Ichiraku eating ramen. Then they heard the door open and guess who was there? Sakura and Sasuke! Sakura was smiling and Sasuke looked normal, except he had a glint of happines in his eyes. No one took notice maybe except Kiki but kept quiet.
"Sakura- chan! Sasuke- teme!" Naruto said
"Hey Sakura- chan, Sasuke- kun!" Kiki said
"Hey!" Sakura responded
"hn..." was Sasuke's reponse
Sakura glanced at Sasuke. And giggled. Sasuke noticed and grew a little shade of pink that went unoticed by Naruto.
Well did ya'll come to eat ramen? Kiki asked
"Yeah!" Sakura said
Sasuke and herself got seated and ordered. All of them ate and talked for a while. When everyone left, Sakura and Sasuke were left alone.
"I will be leaving then," She told Sasuke
"I'll walk you home,"
"Okay!" Sakura told Sasuke
They were both walking side by side. Not saying anything, but Sakura didn't mind, not after what Sasuke told her.
(Flashback)
"Ok..." Sasuke said
"Thanks!" Sakura said
Sakura and Sasuke were walking together and suddenly Sakura saw Sasuke's uncomforable face.
'Should I tell her??? I shouldn't be walking with her... I have been so rude to her and--' Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted by Sakura's voice
"Sasuke- kun, you don't have come with me if you don't want to..." Sakura started
Both stopped and Sasuke turned to her.
"No, Sakura, its not that its that- its that," Sauke stopped,"I-I-I want to apologize f-for being rude to you..."
Sakura's eyes got wide. Then her eyes grew soft and hugged Sasuke. Surprisedly, Sasuke didn't pull away,"I have already forgiven you..." Sakura whispered in his ear. Sasuke relaxed from his sudden tension and hugged her back. "Arigatou Sakura, for forgiving..."
(End Flashback)
Soon they got to her house, "Thanks for walking me home, Sasuke- kun..."
"Yeah.."
(If you have ever heard Hikari from Kingdom of hearts that would be a very nice atmosphere song...)
Sasuke was about to tell her something but Sakura hugged him like to never let go.
"I love you Sasuke- kun..." she whispered into his ear
Before Sakura pulled away Sasuke hugged her almost as hard as she hugged him, "I love you too, Sakura- chan..." he whispered 'It took me so long to open my eyes, to realise that what I needed was always there for me. I needed- Love... Sakura's Love'
Sakura pulled away softly and locked her eyes with his.
Bright emerald met with Dark onyx.
When they both looked into each other's eyes, they saw the same thing- Love
Sasuke wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist and leaned towards her.
"Sa...Sasuke..."
Before Sakura could do anything, she felt Sasuke's lips against hers. She wrapped her arms around Sasuke's neck and closed her eyes. Their kiss was their first and most passionate. They felt like for a second the world stopped spinning. When they pulled away they locked gazes again, and hugged. They wouldn't give anything for that blissful moment.
"Never leave me, Sasuke- kun..." She whispered
"I never will..." he said
Hah! What did you think! I want to hear it!!! And The next chapter will be the last... Yeah, I know the story was short but it was good! Right?
Ja!
