AN: Yo. I was bored.

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Naruto...-whimpers-


As Sakura walked through the halls of the academy, everyone stared at her. Thankfully, Sasuke caught up with her and walked by her. Fangirls began surrounding Sasuke, but Sakura scared them off with a slight growl.

The couple walked outside, longing for fresh air.

A red-haired boy stopped them. He crossed his arms and turned his head to Sakura.

"I heard you defeated the Lion," he said, his blue eyes staring into hers.

"Um...yeah I did, so?" Sakura said. Sasuke awaited to see what Gaara was going to say next.

"Well, surely you must be pretty good to beat him," he said, glancing at Sasuke.

No answer.

"I want to fight you," Gaara said.

AN: starts fighting music

Sasuke grew jealous of Sakura; he himself had always wanted to fight Gaara.

Sasuke took a few steps back to give them their fighting space, then he leaned against a tree.

"Um...Sure!" Sakura said, clinching her fists. She took two steps back.

Gaara started it off with doing a few hand motions, pointing up, then down, then left, then crossed all his fingers, then appeared behind Sakura, and threw her to the ground. Luckily, Sakura got up, then used her new feature. Her ears pointed to the ground, then she attacked Gaara.


In the end, Sakura had won the fight. Gaara had congratulated her.

Sasuke looked at Sakura, envy in his eyes.

Sakura was as happy as could be, she won a battle against Gaara.

Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Sasuke! Wanna go out somewhere for lunch with me?" Sakura asked running towards him.

"No," Sasuke strictly said.

Sakura was suprised by his voice tone, then slowly backed away.

"Um...alright.." she said, leaping into the trees, and deciding to invite Naruto to go with her.

/What's the matter with Sasuke/ she thought as she lept through the trees. Once she landed, students were clapping and saying "Congrats!" She was suprised, then remembered why they were. She smiled shyly, and blushed.

She walked through the crowd, looking for Naruto.


That night, she cryed all night in her bed.

"Curse this all!" she repeated, pulling her lion ears and tail.

Flashback:

"Sasuke! Are you alright?" she asked.

"Go away, jerk," Sasuke said, not bothering to turn his head to look at the pink-haired girl.

"But-"

"GO AWAY!" he yelled, taking out his kunai and throwing them at the worried girl.

End of Flashback

Sakura was yanked her ears, leaving large marks.

She cursed under her breath over and over again.

A knock was heard on her door.

"W-Who is it?" she asked, her frail voice asking.

"Naruto," he said, sounding worried for his team mate.

He opened the door, and his eyes were astonished.

Sakura had cut a few chunks of ehr lion ears off, and her tail was bent.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing," she said.

"Something did happen, tell me," he said, sitting down by her.

"I fought Gaara and one, now Sasuke hates me, and even threw his kunai at me," she said, looking out the window.

"Oh," Naruto said, his voice tone held sadness for her.

"I wish that lion never fought me! I wish I had never gotten ears and tail and claws and-"

"Hush. Sasuke will get over it," Naruto said, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"H-He will?" she asked, turning her head towards his.

"Knowing him, yes, he will," he said.

He walked out of her room.

Sasuke had overheard everything from outside. He looked at his shoes, then walked away.

Sakura sat in her bed, writing in her diary.

Dear Diary,

Sasuke hates me. My heart is torn. I wishI had never defeated that stupid mountain lion.

-Sakura

She layed her diary on the ground, and looked a her tear and blood-stained sheets.

She was slightly startled as a firm knock was heard on her door.

A raven-haired boy walked in. Sakura saw by his shadow is was Sasuke.

"Hey," he said, sitting down by her.

"Hm?" she said, not turning her head to look at him.

"I'm really sorry about earlier.." Sasuke said, looking at her ripped ears and blood stained onto the sheets.

There was no answer. Sasuke wrapped his arms around her, kissing her forehead.

Sakura hugged him, not saying a word.

"I-I forgive you," she said, smiling and looking into his black eyes.

Sasuke smiled a rare but handsome smile, tilted his head slightly, brought his head closer to hers, and kissed her lips.

Sakura was suprised at first, but then calmed and closed her eyes.

Suprisingly, his toungue asked for entrance in her mouth. Sakura gladly accepted, and they began kissing harder.

Sasuke didnt want to, but he slowly pulled away, then hugged her. Sakura smiled, and hugged him back.

Sasuke got Sakura onto his lap, and they both began kissing again.
