3. In the cherry blossom

Night had set upon the village of Konoha, and everyone was turning in for the night.

"So, I guess we're on for tomorrow night, right?" Sakura asked hopefully.

"Yea..." Sasuke murmured, staring into her bright jade eyes.

"Ok..." Sakura whispered, as they reached her home, "I'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Yea..." Sasuke repeated, before kissing her on the forehead and pulling her into a hug, "I'll definitely see you tomorrow."

"Sasuke..." Sakura said softly.

He let go of her and said good-night, and walked off to his house. Sakura looked after him dreamily, before walking into her own.

They had no idea that they were being watched.

"Damn..." Naruto muttered from his hiding spot in a cherry blossom tree right next to Sakura's residence. He looked longingly after Sakura as she closed her front door. "Why did I have to wait so long?" Naruto asked himself, before leaping off the tree onto the next house's rooftop. He looked back at Sakura's house one last time before leaping from roof to roof, off to his own apartment.
