Torn between her first crush and the two people who taught her so much…

Hyuuga Neji…

Sabaku no Gaara…

Uchiha Sasuke…

"What the hell was that for Sasuke-Baka!" Naruto gingerly rubbed his head as he watched Sasuke walk into the distance of the next training field.

"…" Sasuke walked off not paying any attention to Naruto's mumblings.

"Baka…At least tell me where you're going! Geez! Punch me on the head for mentioning Sakura's picnic…" Naruto continued to rub on his head as he slowly followed Sasuke to wherever he went.

'Sakura…What were you doing with those two…' Sasuke thought to himself unaware that he looked pretty intimidating at that moment.

"Sasuke…Chill. You look like you wanna kill someone." Sasuke stared at him and Naruto held up his hands in defense and started laughing awkwardly.

"Shut…up Naruto…" Sasuke spoke through clenched teeth.

"Mou…Whatever…" Naruto got annoyed and stuffed his hands into his pockets.

She dodged to her left elegantly, almost like dancing. Performing hand seals of the tiger, rabbit, rat and so forth.

"Katon! Ryuuka no Jutsu!" she yelled out and breathed in as much as she could take and jets of chakra infused fire streamed out.

The red head summoned up his sand to block the fire but clear spurts of something appeared on his side of the sand.

'What the!' his eyes widened and he dodged out of the way. She smirked at him.

"I love it when people underestimate me. It's so fun…but it gets annoying after a while…" she performed another series of techniques unaware that another person came up behind her.

His chakra infused palm hit her back and she fell forwards. He smirked at her but it disappeared when she vanished, only to be replaced by a chunk of wood. He sensed something behind him but turned around too late when a gust of wind blew him away. He skidded on the ground, his hands digging into the earth, stopping right beside the red haired sand-nin.

There she stood on the far side of their training field. She was holding up two miniature fans.

"Let me try again…Wind Element! Dance of the Wind Blades!" her hands came forward and a huge gust of wind followed blowing hard at the two male nins.

They shielded their eyes, trying to block out the wind and to hold onto their position at the same time.

Neji activated his Byakugan and searched around looking for her technique's weak spot. He couldn't find any, it was flawless. Gaara tried to summon up his sand but it got blown into the wind.

'Not good…' they both thought at the same time. When they felt the wind die down a little bit, they raced into her direction but she wasn't there.

They turned their backs to each other, both of them in the center of the field looking around for a sign of the pink haired girl. Neji searched around with his Byakugan while Gaara used his keen sense of hearing.

Gaara felt a sudden breeze pass right by him and Neji thought he saw pink somewhere.

Moments of silence…

Another flash of pink and a small flurry of wind. They couldn't locate her until…

'There…' they turned at the same time (Neji to the right and Gaara to the left) to see her charge right at them. Using her fans to slash them the way she would with her kunai. Sharp metallic bits stuck out at the ends and she moved forward swiftly dodging his palm and his sand. As if dancing with the wind.

She ran and jumped up, landing gracefully past them. The wind blew gently at them and several cuts could be seen from their arms and clothes but the distinct cut was on their faces.

Blood trickled down Neji's cheeks and dripped off his chin.

"This has been a productive day, don't you think?" she turned around and smiled at them.

"…not bad…" Neji spoke still looking somewhat shocked at her progress.

Most of the time, she would only be able to land a few blows before Gaara's sand would attack her and execute a few techniques before Neji would block her chakra flow. This time, she was more prepared, almost as if she had been sparring without them for a month. But the last time they trained together was only two days ago. How could she have improved so much in just a little over two days?

She smiled at them, folding up her fans and tucking them into her pouch.

"You guys ok? Didn't hurt you too much did I?" she looked at Gaara. His face had been cut but that was just his armor of sand and not actual skin.

"…I don't get hurt…easily…" his sand hovered in front of him and covered up the score on his face.

"That's good…" she smiled at Gaara then looked over at her other training partner.

"Ah Neji! You're bleeding!" she took out her handkerchief and started wiping off the blood on his face.

His eyes grew softer. Neji watched her as she carefully wiped the blood of his face, he felt comfortable at her touch. His hand reached up to her hand and stopped her from whatever she was doing.

Her eyes showed compassion, kindness. Both something he had never experienced much before.

He lowered her hand and he leaned in forward slightly, she didn't move.

His lips were just an inch away when Gaara made an abrupt movement, causing him to stop and let go of her hand. Gaara glared at Neji from the corner of his eye and moved off.

'What's wrong with Gaara-Kun?' she watched Gaara walk away from the training ground. It was suddenly she heard the bushes rustle and turned into that direction as well as Neji.

'Geez! Which training ground would they be on!' Sasuke was now running around the whole of Konoha searching for Sakura and to see if she is training with who he thinks she's training with. Naruto was following behind a few paces away.

"Sasuke-Baka! Tell me where we're going!" Sasuke ignored him.

"Baka! Hey! I'M TALKING TO YOU HERE!" Naruto sped up and tried to punch him but missed.

"I didn't ask you to follow me dope!" Sasuke ran faster and jumped into a tree trying to lose Naruto but he always ended up falling into his pace.

"Stop following me dope!"

"Shut up! Stop calling me dope!"

"I will if you stop following me dope!"

"YEA WHATEVER!" Naruto launched himself right at Sasuke and since the raven haired boy was in mid-air, he was unable to dodge.

"No! You dope!" Naruto tackled Sasuke and they both fell into the bushes and rolled out onto the other side punching and kicking at each other.

"Naruto? Sasuke? What are you guys doing?" stopping in mid strife they heard a feminine voice speak their names and they turned to see Sakura along with Neji.
