My Trust in You
Chapter Seven- Bugs and Quick Kisses
Michiko walked through the streets of Konoha with her hands behind her back. She whistled an innocent tune, watching random children playing together. She glanced to her right then froze slightly. She turned her head slowly to see Kiba talking rather loudly with Shino beside him.
Kiba looked up and grinned happily.
"Hey, Michiko- come join us!"
Michiko paled slightly and walked over to them. She put on a nervous smile as she noticed Shino look at her.
"H- Hey guys, welcome back, Shino," Michiko said, taking a seat beside Shino. Shino nodded slightly.
"I was just telling Shino about what happened yesterday," Kiba said, turning in his seat. Michiko nodded and ordered a drink.
"Congratulations on becoming an ANBU member," Shino said plainly.
Michiko blushed lightly; this didn't go unnoticed by Kiba or Shino.
"Thanks," she muttered. Shino remained silent.
"So, when do you start?" Kiba asked, taking a sip of his drink.
"Three days," Michiko said.
Shino and Kiba nodded slightly. Shino looked at Michiko from the corner of his eye as Kiba continued talking. Michiko avoided looking at Shino.
"Michiko-!"
Michiko turned around to see Akemi glaring at her.
'Uh oh…' Michiko though, edging away from the door.
"I've been outside for three hours! You're the only one who has the key to the house! Why-!"
"You could have asked Naomi-San," Michiko said.
Akemi stopped talking immediately.
"I didn't think about that…"
Michiko got up from her seat quickly.
"I have to talk to you," she said nervously, grabbing Akemi's arm and running with her into the ladies washroom.
Shino and Kiba watched as the girls ran away from them.
"What's up with her…?" Kiba asked curiously. Shino shrugged and faced forward in his seat.
"Something wrong, Michiko?"
Michiko began pacing slowly, a light blush creeping onto her face.
"Do- do you think that-….Maybe….Shino might-…"
Akemi grinned wildly.
"You like him!" she shouted loudly.
Everyone in the small restaurant raised their head to the direction of the washroom and looked at the door curiously.
Shino cocked up his eyebrow in curiosity.
Michiko smacked her hand over Akemi's mouth.
"Loud enough for you, Akemi?" she muttered.
Akemi smiled sheepishly as Michiko removed her hand.
Akemi squealed loudly and Michiko put her hand over Akemi's mouth once again.
Michiko took out a beetle from her pocket and held it out before Akemi.
"If you do that one more time, I will put this beetle, along with ten more, down your shirt- so stay quiet," Michiko said.
Akemi nodded quickly.
A bug sat on the tip of Shino's ear for a moment. Shino smirked faintly a few moments later while glancing at the washroom door.
"Wait a second… Doesn't Shino have a lot of bugs?" Akemi asked curiously.
"Yeah, why?" Michiko asked, looking at the ground.
Michiko's head snapped up and Akemi's eyes widened.
"He wouldn't….would he?" Akemi asked, looking at the door nervously.
"Oh, shit!" they shouted in unison.
Everyone looked at the washroom door again.
"Hope they're okay…" Kiba muttered quietly. Shino's smirk grew slightly.
"What do we do?" Akemi asked, panicking.
"We run," Michiko said.
Akemi nodded, opening the door.
Michiko and Akemi ran out the door.
"Got to go, see you guys later!" Akemi shouted.
"What she said!" Michiko shouted as well, running out the door after Akemi.
The customers shook their heads and began muttering things about young people being troublemakers.
Kiba sat on his seat, confused. Shino took a sip of his drink slowly, a smile tugging at his lips.
Shikamaru plopped down onto the soft grass, watching the clouds pass by lazily. Chouji took a seat beside him, eating his chips.
Shikamaru and Chouji stayed side-by-side in the comfortable silence, watching the clouds pass by.
Sakura ran through the streets of Konoha quickly as a smile graced her lips. She had finished her mission in less than an hour that morning. The sky had now begun to turn from his blue hue to a shade of light gray.
People moved to the side quickly as they noticed flashes of pink coming towards them.
"Watch where you're going!" an elderly man shouted.
She continued running forward but looked back and shouted an apology.
Sakura turned to look forward, but collided with another person. She shut her eyes, waiting for her body to hit the ground.
She felt muscular arms circle around her petite body, pulling her upwards.
"You should be more careful…" he said quietly.
Sakura opened her eyes slowly as she stood on the ground.
"Sasuke-Kun!" she squealed happily as she wrapped her arms around Sasuke's neck. Sasuke sighed quietly as a smile tugged at his lips.
"Aw, look at the cute couple!" an elderly woman said with a grin. Women in their early twenties looked at the couple, sighing happily. A light blush crept onto Sasuke and Sakura's faces quickly as they began walking together, away from the ogling women.
Sasuke and Sakura walked in a comfortable silence near the blooming Sakura trees, their hands brushing together from time to time. Sakura raised her head, looking up at the sky.
Sasuke took a quick glance around and smirked faintly as he wrapped his arm around Sakura's waist. Sakura looked up at Sasuke's smirking face and blushed lightly. Sasuke lowered his head to Sakura's ear.
"I've missed you," he whispered in his seductively low voice. Sakura's blush turned to a darker shade of red.
"I've missed you too," she said quietly.
'He's changed so much… He's happier… I'm glad,' she thought.
'HELL YEAH!' Inner Sakura shouted happily, and rarely.
Sakura snapped out of her thoughts as she felt water drip onto her bare arm. She and Sasuke raised their heads slightly, looking up at the gray sky. Within moments, rain began pouring down heavily. Sakura grabbed Sasuke's arm and led him to a tree quickly.
They stood together underneath the tree- its branches sheltering them from the rain. Sakura looked at the rain pour down with a smile. Sasuke's eyes traveled over Sakura's face. His eyes lingered on her lips. Before he knew what he was doing, he pressed his lips against hers firmly. Sakura got over her moment of shock and pushed her lips back gently. Sasuke wrapped his arms around her small waist and pulled her closer to him. Sakura raised her hands and ran them through Sasuke's hair gently.
Sasuke reluctantly pulled away a few moments later and smiled faintly. He lowered his head and buried it in the crook of her neck. The soft smell of her scent entered his nose as he began to feel slightly dizzy. Sakura buried her face into his chest as small goose bumps began appearing on her arms.
"I love you, Sasuke-Kun…" she said quietly.
Sasuke's smile grew slightly as he pressed his lips against the crook of her neck gently.
"I love you too..." he whispered. "My Sakura…" he added quietly.
Sasuke pulled himself away from Sakura and noticed the goose bumps on her arms. He took off his jacket quickly. Sakura looked at him curiously as he put it over her shoulders.
"Sasuke-Kun, you don't have to-…"
Sasuke put his index finger to her lips to silence her. Sakura blushed lightly and thanked him quietly. Sasuke walked Sakura home quickly.
"Thanks for walking me home, Sasuke-Kun…" Sakura said quietly and she handed Sasuke's jacket to him. Sasuke nodded once and turned to leave.
"Sasuke-Kun," Sakura said quickly.
"Hn?" Sasuke turned around to face her.
"It's still raining pretty hard… You won't be able to go home in this weather," Sakura began, blushing. "So, would you like to stay here until it gets better outside…? And… And I'd like to have some company…" she added, trailing off. Sasuke smirked faintly and nodded.
"Alright…" he said quietly. Sakura smiled and allowed him to walk inside. She took his wet coat and put it somewhere to dry. Sakura led him into the living room and allowed him to take a seat as she walked into the kitchen.
Sasuke sat in silence, looking around the room. He noticed a few pictures on the walls- some of Sakura herself, and of her family. His eyes wandered over to the table in front of him. He noticed a small framed picture that was taken years ago. He smiled faintly as he noticed that it was a picture of Team 7, the three-man cell- including Kakashi.
Sakura walked out of the kitchen a few minutes later with two cups of steaming hot tea. She handed a cup over to Sasuke, who took it gratefully, and took a seat beside him. They drank their tea in silence.
Twenty minutes passed quickly. Sakura's head rested on Sasuke's shoulder as they both fell into a dreamless sleep.
Ino lay in her bed, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the ground outside.
"Ino-!"
Ino raised her head as she heard her mother calling her name.
"Ino, you have a visitor!"
Ino raised her eyebrow and walked out of her room quickly.
'Who'd visit me in this weather…?'
Ino ran down the stairs and skidded to a halt as she noticed Shikamaru's lazy face.
"Shikamaru, what're you doing here…?"
Shikamaru shrugged slightly.
"Just thought I'd say hi," he replied.
Ino raised her head again.
'… Coming over just to say hi? That's way too troublesome for him, even with the rain outside,' Ino thought.
Ino's mother looked from Ino's confused face to Shikamaru's lazy grin. Her eyes widened slightly.
"You're getting married, aren't you? Oh, my little girl is growing up so quickly! I'm going to get grand-children! I should start making preparations for the wedding-!"
"Mom, we're not getting married!" Ino shouted quickly, her face flustered.
Ino's mother looked at her curiously before grinning wildly.
"Oh, I get it- I'll leave you two alone… Make sure you guys don't have too much fun," she said with a wink to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru and Ino began blushing furiously as Ino's mother walked away.
'How troublesome… If it's this much trouble just to say hi- then I'm never going to do it again…' he thought, slightly annoyed.
Ino sighed in relief as her mother went out of sight. 'She wants grandchildren so badly…' Ino thought.
Shikamaru and Ino remained in an awkward silence after what Ino's mother had just said. They cleared their throats at the same time and avoided looking at each other.
"Well," Shikamaru began. "I'm just going to go now…"
Ino nodded slightly.
"Yeah….Okay," she replied, walking Shikamaru to the door.
'He went through this much trouble just to say hi…'
"Shikamaru…?"
Shikamaru looked at Ino as he turned the doorknob.
Ino smiled faintly and brushed her lips against his quickly. Shikamaru blushed faintly and smiled.
"Be careful," Ino said, nodding her head towards the rain. Shikamaru nodded with a lazy smile as he gave her a quick peck on the lips in return.
Ino sighed happily as he went out of sight. She closed the door and turned to see her parents looking at her curiously.
"When did you start dating Shikamaru?" Ino's dad asked with a raised eyebrow.
"We're getting grandchildren!" Ino's mother shouted happily. Ino's sighed as she felt her cheeks getting hotter.
'This is going to be a long night…' she thought.
