Sasuke woke quickly. Sitting up in his bed, he rubbed his sore neck. Stretching his arms, he looked over at his clock
3:46…too early.
Sasuke thought lazily to himself. Laying back down he shut his eyes and was almost asleep when he heard a loud banging. Opening his eyes, trying to figure out what the sound was it came again. After three more knocks, Sasuke finally realized that it was someone at the door. Climbing out of bed he picked up a shirt and put it on quickly. Stepping out of his bedroom and swiftly carrying himself to the door. The banging still echoing throughout the house he reached the door and quickly opened it. Half awake and his eyes now fully close, Sasuke leaned on the partially opened door.
"Yeah"
He mumbled out as he stretched his arms again. The cold air rushed in to meet his body.
"Damn that's cold!"
He exclaimed opening his eyes to reveal a pink haired Genin. Furrowing his brow in confusion he questioned groggily,
"Sakura, what are you doing here?"
Sakura grinned and placed her hands on Sasuke's chest. Playing with his shirt she answered,
"Sasuke I'm here for you."
Sakura shot him a sly grin. Feeling quite dazed Sasuke stepped back to let Sakura into his home. Sakura walked in and closed the door behind her. Rubbing up against Sasuke she leaned her head close to his, their lips almost touching he-
Sasuke woke suddenly from his dream. Dreaming gazing over to his alarm clock it took him a while to decipher the numbers. In a flashing green they told him it was 9:48.
"Teme, slept in"
Sasuke growled to himself. Everything angered Sasuke in his new state. Deciding he was already late, Sasuke closed his eyelids and drifted back into sleep.

Walking quite slowly towards the bridge for Team 7's training, Sakura was pushing out all the thoughts of Sasuke. Crossed arms, she walked to the bridge, successfully, with all her thoughts of him out of her mind. When she reached the bridge Naruto was already there, leaning on the handrails. Sakura smiled when she silently walked up, Naruto didn't notice her. Running up behind him, she rested her chin on his shoulder and put her hands on his arms.
"Morning!"
Sakura chimed while she leaned her cheek on his ear. Grinning widely Naruto turned around.
"Good morning Sakura-chan."
Naruto said without a shake in his voice. He turned around and Sakura's hands fell off his arms and to her side. Naruto entwined his fingers in Sakura's and lightly kissed her forehead. Sakura's smile grew wider and he eyes twinkled with joy.
"That's it?"
She giggled out. Naruto took it as a challenge. Pushing her thick pink hair from her face he leaned in and placed his lips on hers. Pulling her hands away from Naruto's, Sakura trailed her hands up his chest and held them on his biceps. Pushing back on his lips Sakura decided to make her move but she was too late. Naruto's hands had slid to the small of Sakura's back and pulled her closer to him. Gliding his tongue into Sakura's mouth they both felt the comfort of each other's arms. They were both enjoying the embrace but Sakura felt a tinge of guilt. An image of Sasuke floated into her head.
How can I think of Sasuke?! I'm kissing Naruto. This is wrong.
Sasuke thought to herself. Pulling back a little but still kissing Naruto she tried to push out her thoughts and enjoy where she was. Out of now where a large
POOF
Sounded. Breaking apart quickly, Sakura grabbed Naruto's hand. Naruto held it tightly and they looked at their Sensei. Sakura looked down and blushed and Naruto grinned. Kakashi smiled under his navy mask. He coughed quietly and the two genins noticed they were still holding hands. Whipping them behind their backs Sakura turned a deeper red and Naruto only smiled more widely.
"I'm guessing you two don't know where Sasuke is"
Kakashi asked. Looking at each other, Naruto and Sakura shrugged.
"Hmm…well let's start without him."
Kakashi finished up. Naruto and Sakura followed him into the forest to begin training.
---------
Both Sakura and Naruto were tired from the vigorous training they had just finished. Sakura walked over to a large tree and slumped down the trunk until she was sitting on the grass. Naruto looked walked over and sat beside Sakura. They were both too worn out to talk.
Actions speak louder than words.
Sakura thought to herself and she leaned her head over on Naruto's shoulder. Sakura didn't notice their sensei was still in their presence. A few trees away Kakashi was leaning against a tree with his orange book held in his left hand. Naruto knew he was there.
Kuso. I wish Kakashi would leave.
Naruto thought to himself. Naruto stared harshly in Kakashi's direction.
Damn Kakashi! God I don't care if he's here.
Naruto told himself. Naruto pulled his arm up from beside his and Sakura's body and placed it on her shoulder. Kakashi looked up from "Come Come Paradise" as Naruto softly kissed the top of Sakura's head. Kakashi smiled to himself and decided this he should not stay. Silently Team 7's sensei vanished to leave Naruto and Sakura alone.
