Disclaimer: I don't own naruto. But I don't stop me from making fanfic

Both stopped by in the grocery store. Sakura sat outside the store to relax her feet while naruto enters the store to buy some food. he buys the usual grocery items then afterwards walk towards sakura to check upon him.

"so sakura-chan, Can you walk now?"

"I think so…"

Naruto grinned as usual. Sakura just replied with a huge smile on her face as they started to walk again.

Both just enjoyed the scenery on walking together in the outskirts of konoha at night.

Sakura then noticed that she still wears the jacket that naruto offered to her. She hold unto it really tight.

"Hey, you know…I just noticed something" sakura asked playfully.

"what is it?" naruto turned around to hear what will sakura say.

Sakura smirk "…..Nevermind" she knows that naruto doesn't accept the 'nothing' nor 'nevermind' reply.

Silence…

"Come'on what is it!" now he's eager to know what sakura thinks.

"you want to know?" sakura mischievously grinned.

"Of course!"

sakura giggles "Really?"

"Tell it already!" he persistently replied with a slight annoyance in his tone.

"What if I don't want to? What will you gonna do…tough guy?" she replied mockingly crossing her arms.

"well if you insist…" Naruto happily grinned. He dropped the grocery on the floor

"drastic times….need drastic measures" naruto ginned as wide as the smile of kyuubi.

"wanna fight?" she narrowed her eyes and putting her hand on her waist.

"ooooohh yeah!"

"Bring it on…" she mockingly replied.

Like a silence before the storm both stood there like a statue waiting for the other to make their move, no one even blinked nor move an inch. The wind blew a really huge gust of wind and on a drop of a hat the vanished both immediately, sakura appeared beneath a tree, scanning the whole premises to find naruto.

"left?...Right…up? no down maybe…" sakura scrutinize the whole area

Then a black figure with glowing eyes anime style suddenly appeared in the back of sakura.

"Sakura-Chaaaaaaannnn?" Naruto excitedly replied with a huge grin on his face.

sakura was caught off guard by naruto causing him to be stunned for a second. By the time she realizes that naruto was in her back…..it was too late. She just whispered "oh no…"

"Behold the ultimate kinjutsu technique to get information out of people!" naruto postured in a tiger seal formation.

He sit down "yuuen kusuguru no jitsu!" Grand tickling technique

Naruto began to relentlessly tickle her and it worked like hell. "So, how's my technique?" Naruto said while continuously tickling her. Sakura had burst out laughing, falling to the ground, she couldn't move coz of the extreme tickling that naruto was doing into him.

"Okay okay—stop it already! Hahaha, Stop! – I'll tell you now! Hahaha!" she said, in between her laughter, finally giving up after few minutes of laughter.

Naruto finally stopped, and was on top of her now, having ensnared her on the ground.

Naruto respire really fast to catch his breath "so— what is it?..."

"Well, get off me first!" she demanded.

He gets off of him and grabbed sakura's hand to make her stand up and clean the dust off of himself.

Naruto looked over to her, and she was happy, yet breathing profoundly now.

He grabbed the grocery that they bought on the store and started to walk again.

Naruto stared at sakura, tickling had tired her out. "Well? What did you notice?" Naruto asked.

She looked on naruto and beamed. "You really want to know that badly, huh?" she asked.

"OF COURSE! Come on, we already made this big fuss out of it, just tell me already!" he cry out.

She crossed her arms and looked at him teasingly "If you're shouting at me then i—"

Naruto interrupted sakura "Quit Shelving, Just say it already!"

She stated to laugh again, the look on naruto's face was priceless that he couldn't form the word that she's saying.

"What is it now!" he cry out "jusssst SAY it, come on its getting late!"

She finally stopped. She never had a change to tease anyone this hard before. She stared at him

"maybe I should tease him more?" sakura thought but she decides not to anymore, she has enough already for the day. Seeing the look on naruto's face, annoyed and desperate make him stop teasing him now.

She walk ahead of naruto holding together her hand on her back.

Pure and sincere word finally came out if her mouth

"…I really like your jacket…"
