Sakura quickly approached the meeting spot for team 7 to find none other than an oblivious Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, concealing all feelings. After letting her gaze run over the dark boy she frowned. He seemed hurt and Sakura hated it. Naruto, on the other hand, was happy to see Sakura.
"Good morning Sakura-chan." Naruto said while smiling. His smile brightened up Sakura's mood, but still couldn't get rid of the mixed feelings she felt for him and Sasuke. Sinking into her own thoughts Sakura abruptly came back to reality when a resounding POOF sounded.
"Kakashi-sensei you're late. Again." Sakura told him coldly while crossing her arms. On the outside Sakura looked angry, but on the inside she was happy to see her sensei. She also liked that she was always punctual, at getting to nag your teacher is one part of team 7 she enjoyed thoroughly. A wrinkle appeared under Kakashi's one visible eye and the three genin knew he was smiling.
"Ah, Sakura you don't miss a thing." Kakashi laughed. "Well, this purple dinosaur…" Started the silver-haired jounin. Kakashi bent over with laughter at the look on Naruto's face- his jaw was only inches above the ground. Sakura and Sasuke were used to these outrageous excuses and only shook their head at the new imaginative explanation to his constant tardiness.
When Naruto finally fell over on the ground twitching Kakashi stopped his laughing fit. "Naruto you do know I'm kidding." He asked, a hint of amusement playing in his voice. Naruto immediately jumped up from the floor, most likely figuring out how stupid he looked in his current position. Scratching the back of his head he gave a grin and laughed, uncomfortably. "Hehe, of course I did…I just…" Naruto trailed off.
Before Naruto could come up with an outlandish excuse for his sudden twitching on the ground, Kakashi stopped him. "We've got a long day- Lots of D ranked missions. Let's get off to it." He told his team. Without a complaint the team started their walk off to their duty.
"AGH! KUSO! POISONED BY THE DIAPER!" Naruto screamed from inside the baby's room. Their second mission of the day- babysitting a 6 month old and a two year old, both girls. Sasuke and Sakura sat in the living room with the two year old girl, the TV turned on to some random cartoon turned down low. The girl lay asleep on Sasuke's lap. The two genins flinched at the yell from down the hallway. The girl immediately began crying, awaken from her nap. Sakura frowned while looking down at the girl and Sasuke cursed under his breathe. Gently lifting the girl so she rested on Sakura he walked down the hallway without looking once at Sakura.
The pink haired girl's heart dropped as she let her eyes follow Sasuke down the hallway. When he entered the room Naruto was in, Sakura's attention was focused on the little girl. "Aww Kimiko don't cry. Just ignore Naruto. He's just a little…angry at a diaper?" Sakura tried to explain to Kimiko. Her brow furrowed at the last sentence, trying to make sense in her own mind. But nothing at the moment completely made sense. She shook off the idea and stared blankly at the TV as Kimiko rested her head on Sakura's legs.
Naruto soon emerged from the bedroom, one hand pinching his nose, the other carrying out a diaper. Sakura subconsciously held her breathe as Naruto walked behind the couch and to the kitchen. Sasuke soon left the bedroom and, after washing his hands, sauntered back to the living room and silently placed himself back on couch.
Sasuke's head turned and his eyes rested on Kimiko. Sakura tried to stay as still as possible as she watching the quiet cartoon but soon realized that Sasuke's gaze wasn't on the now sleeping Kimiko anymore. Sakura bit her lip as Sasuke started with an unsure voice. "Sakura…about this morning. I really didn't mean it." Sasuke said, his cool demeanor vanishing as he tried to play the words out so they were right. "What I mean is…" He stopped mid-sentence, gulping and trying to continue on with his explanation. Sakura slowly pulled enough courage up to look over at Sasuke and their eyes met. Their eyes, as if giving him enough sense to speak, stayed set on each other's. "I mean…I wanted last night to happen differently. Not like this. It was just last night and you already seem like you're sad." Another gulp came from the boy and Sakura held herself back from pouring out everything she'd been thinking about, even before last night. A tingling feeling ran through her as Sasuke placed his hand on hers.
"Ne, Sasuke-teme what the hell are you talking about last night?" Naruto asked him, making sure he kept his voice down so he wouldn't get pounded for waking up Kimiko. Sasuke's eyes grew wide and Sakura bit down harder on her lip, almost drawing blood. His cerulean eyes questioned the two. Sasuke kept his eyes set on Sakura. Sakura looked over the Naruto who by now had found out something was happening. She pulled her hand out from underneath the comforting warmth of Sasuke's hand and to Kimiko where we tenderly moved her over on the couch the lean on Sasuke. Sakura breathed in deeply and stood up, straightening her dress while trying to hide the fact that her hands were quivering. Her voice shook like her hands as she quietly said, "Naruto. I need to tell you something."
