The Strawberry Chronicles
By: Crazyanimeluva
Ahh, the smell of a freshly baked chapter! I have asked Sakura, as a favor to all of my reviewers, to pass out handmade SASUKE PLUSHIES! Get them while they're fluffy! Thank you guys for all the kind words of appreciation!
I'm soooooooo hooked on Naruto! I FINALLY received my boxed set and 4 movies of the series. I'm a bit angry that they don't work and I'll have to buy a whole new dvd player for them but I watched the Snow Princess movie and it's awesome and same with Episodes 151 NaruHina fluffiness!
Also, today's omake is dedicated towards our lovable hyperactive kyuubi! I pray that he won't get a stomachache after this and this a bit long. Forward!
-Omake Theatre 3: Ramen Rampage-
Today was not the best day for our soaking wet, kyuubi vessel. He had a discouraged frown on his somewhat whiskered face. From the scratches, burns, and bruises that littered his 12-year-old body and by the way he slouched, anyone who knew him well could tell that the day's training had not gone well.
Kakashi had as usual, shown up late, made up some odd excuse, and had simply read his Icha Icha Paradise book while sending them off to do some annoyingly dreary task, which in fact ended up being quite difficult. In this case, team 7 had been forced to climb a waterfall to obtain one of three arrows at the top, using only their feet. They suffered a few heart startling falls down into the deep waters at the end of the large waterfall.
Luckily, they had some experience with climbing trees and simply walking upon water. The only downside to all this was the broken electric cables that had been set up if you floated to the shallow waters of the river. Only Naruto had allowed himself to be carried that far and ended up nearly being shocked to death.
Naruto's only rival slash friend, the Uchiha prodigy himself, had dropped down the falls halfway through his climb a number rounding to about 11 times, where Naruto had fallen about 20. Sakura succeeded after her 7th time, and had received the rest of the training period to rest or go home. After she had changed into a dry set of clothes, she and Kakashi amused themselves by watching the two boys fall numerous times.
Once Sasuke had reached the top and grabbed the second arrow, Kakashi had dismissed them leaving only Naruto alone to try again and again before he had finally retrieved the last and final arrow.
The kyuubi vessel, tired and irritated, ended up dragging his sopping feet to the Godaime's office where he snapped the weapon into two pieces in front of her and the group of the rather surprised Jounins (including Kakashi), Chunnins, and other instructors that had assembled there.
He ended up praised for a short while and later chastised for barging in on an important meeting. So now, he was on his way home after the long and painful day. His stiff and sore muscles squeezed the last bit of energy out of him as he walked with the same irritated expression on his face.
"I'm not gonna take a bath for a whole…" how long Naruto would stay filthy, we will never know because…
"Hey! Naruto!" The loud voice caused the drenched kyuubi vessel to turn his head slowly towards the direction of the Ichiraku Ramen Stand where he found a large number of his friends waiting for his reply.
"What? I'm going home…" He muttered, feeling oddly like Sasuke at that point.
Sakura, Hinata, Shikamaru, Kiba, Neji, TenTen, and Chouji were all sitting down on the stools and staring at him.
"Hey Naruto, did you make it to the top?" Sakura asked, her voice hitting the teasing note that hit the blue-eyed boy's last nerve.
"Here's your evidence." Naruto walked over and slammed one half of the arrow onto the platform. Sakura's eyes widened.
"Where's the other half?" She asked.
"At Old Lady Tsunade's office." Naruto said, leaning onto the platform.
"Geez, how troublesome…we did that last week…pain from hell." Shikamaru muttered.
"We were just about to ask you if you wanted to join the ramen eating contest. Might lighten your mood." Sakura said, noticing Naruto's tired expression.
"Bring it on!" Naruto yelled, his eyes lighting up as he slammed his fists on the counter, filled with unexpected enthusiasm.
"All you guys are going against each other, kay?" TenTen said, winking before waving a hand for the chef to bring in the bowls.
Hinata, Sakura, and TenTen all got out of their seats to allow the boys to sit down.
Neji and Shikamaru frowned at the bowls in front of them.
"Unhealthy to eat so much…" Neji muttered and Shikamaru replied with his same 'troublesome' routine.
"You're going down, Naruto!" Kiba said, as Akamaru barked in interest.
"AH! I shall be the one to eat the most!" Chouji said, slamming a fist on the counter.
"I'll beat all of you, dammit!" Naruto inclined.
"G-good luck, Naruto-kun." Hinata said shyly and turned red when Naruto grinned and gave her a thumbs-up, worthy of Lee's praise. (1) It seemed he had forgotten all about the torturous training exercise in which he had suffered the most.
"Sickening…" Neji muttered.
"Oh, come on Neji! Show some spirit!" The weapon mistress said earning a small smile from the pearl-eyed male.
"Whatever." He said, closing his eyes.
"Come on Naruto!" Sakura added, while the inner Sakura shrieked, "Kick their asses!"
"Care to start the count down?" Kiba asked the waitress who blushed.
"3-2-1…Start!"
With that, the 5 boys went to work with their chopsticks, "Itadakimasu!"
-
After some 30 minutes, Neji had placed down his eating utensils and leaned back against the counter.
"No more." He muttered. TenTen smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"It's ok! Besides, we wouldn't want you to get fat and miss out on training." Her statement caused the other boys to snicker, almost choking on their noodles, and set the other two kunoichis into a fit of giggles.
"How amusing." He muttered, rolling his eyes before standing up and watching the rest continue at it.
"Ahh, I quit. I'm leaving it to you, Chouji." Shikamaru tossed in his napkin.
"Mmm!" Chouji mumbled determinedly through a mouthful.
Naruto, Chouji, and Kiba were all on their 5th bowl and kept at it until Akamaru barked in frustration.
"You win this one, Naruto, Chouji." Kiba held his stomach and got out of his seat.
Chouji and Naruto were neck and neck on their 8th bowl and kept slurping down the steamy contents of the dishes in front of them. The Ramen chef and his daughter were both looking at each other gleefully at the amount they would make that night.
"Come on Naruto!" Sakura cheered.
"Go Chouji!" Shikamaru called.
Suddenly, Chouji's whole body trembled and he let out an enormous burp.
"Ohh…that…was bad." TenTen waved a hand in front of her face while Neji, Shikamaru, and Kiba scrunched their noses. Sakura's face actually turned green and Hinata moved back a few steps.
"Stomachache." Chouji grunted before falling backwards until his rear hit the ground.
"Um, I have to go home now. Congrats, Naruto!" Sakura said, staring not at a watch but at the stacks of bowls on the counter. She quickly dashed away.
"Yeah. Tomorrow, TenTen and I have early training, and I also have to make sure Hinata is home safely." Neji gestured for the two girls to leave and he followed after them.
"Goodnight, Naruto-kun." Hinata waved softly leaving Naruto staring. He wondered why everyone was suddenly leaving.
"I have to get Chouji to the hospital." Shikamaru nudged Chouji to stand up, which he did rather quickly for a person with stomach pains.
"Yeah, Akamaru has to go…" Kiba just picked up Akamaru and ran.
"ANO! What the hell!" Naruto shrieked.
"Ahem." The chef and his daughter grinned, and held out their hands.
"Ah?" Naruto squinted.
The chef handed him the bill.
"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" All the pain he had felt from the training gathered inside his stomach as he stared incredulously at the bill. Soon, the pain that had gathered in his stomach slowly traveled farther downwards and Naruto ran as if his life depended on it leaving both chef and daughter shrieking in protest after him and the kyuubi boy screaming…
"BATHROOM!"
-End
Wow…that took 5 pages. So, I doubt this should count as an omake, ne? (insert sweatdrop here) Anywayz, I hope you enjoyed this!
(1)- I hate it when people make Hinata stutter TOO much, and when she faints right after Naruto smiles at her. Doesn't that happen when he surprises or hugs her? It's annoying that people believe she's too shy. Also, I didn't feel like entering Rock Lee or Ino in this segment so please excuse this. Ino will be up though in the main chapter.
-Scroll Three: Sasuke's Valentine-
He waited, hand shaking as it lingered upon his doorknob. Should he go? Should he stay? This was becoming more unbearable as the seconds passed. Here he was on a perfectly grand day for training and he was still sitting inside, shaking as if the whole world would blow up in his face the moment he opened the door. Which is, what it would be described as by Uchiha Sasuke.
He hated today the worst out of all the 365 days of the year. Valentine's Day…the day, he would be running for his very skin. The dark-expressioned shinobi's scowl grew deeper, knowing that he would have to face about 50 fangirls if he ever wanted to become a full-fledged shinobi. The only thing he went back to, was the thought of his remaining goal. Restoring his clan. A small amount of heat lit his cheeks, but he quickly shook the thoughts.
"Sheesh…spending time with Kakashi was not a good thing, better training or not." He found himself thinking, placing a firm grip on the door.
And so, taking a deep breath, he opened the door to find his doorstep as bare as it had been the day before and how it should have remained so. He wasn't surprised because it had been known in his past years of living where he did, in the Uchiha district, that the fangirls (and probably one or two males that were also obsessed with him O.o) had never crossed the wooden barricade to this area from Konoha's main streets. Well, apart from his two teammates who often disturbed the peace of the silenced district.
This exactly was why he felt stupid. He knew no one would be outside but it was the simple fear of having females (and the one or two strangely obsessed males) waiting to rip him to shreds and divide him among themselves. The thing he had expected was that as soon as he opened the wooden gates to the main streets, the ground would be swamped.
His theory was not disappointed. The last 6 meters of the large pathway was flooded with carnations, bright pink and red colored candies, soft toys, cards, cakes, and various other sweets left messily around the other gifts as if fighting for his first glance, which he gave neither.
He sighed, delay on his way to the bridge would be brought from these brightly colored gifts. He began to heave the piles to the nearest trash receptacle. About 15 minutes had passed and the bin was completely overflowing but he had about another 5 armfuls to remove.
After the annoying pinks and reds had been disposed of, he pocketed his hands and went on his way.
He noticed the people had decorated the streets with hearts, flowers, ribbons, lanterns, and banners indicating the event. "Valentine's day isn't that big of a celebration that you'd have to decorate everything…" He thought irritably.
It occurred to him that he was later than usual when he spotted the pink-haired kunoichi who was staring deeply into the waters located under their meeting spot.
Sakura was looking oddly miserable he thought. It was strange to see her so down and out on such an occasion. Usually she would've jumped on him and shoved his arms full of chocolates.
"Ohayo, Sasuke-kun." She sighed, reaching for something behind her.
He raised an eyebrow curiously, "What's wrong?" A question that rarely even came from the Uchiha prodigy's mouth. Sakura turned to face him.
"Nothing." She answered a little too quickly causing him to frown. Sakura handed him a small white rose inside a clear wrap with a blue ribbon tied carefully around it. The white rose indicated friendship all known well among the few flower admirers. Not that he was one of them, but he realized from the pale color, that she was acting beyond different that day out of all. Sakura held three other white roses, one with an orange ribbon, one with a black ribbon and one with a green ribbon.
He didn't question the matter, allowing her thoughts their deserved privacy. Not that his ever were considered he thought sourly.
It was hurting her that she held herself that day. She knew completely that Sasuke wouldn't like it if she asked him out, but it was Valentine's Day, one of her favorite days of the year.
"Even Naruto is going out with Hinata today." Sakura thought, her sad expression deepening as she gripped onto the wooden rail of the bridge tighter.
"I want to ask. Demo…Sasuke-kun won't like it and…he'll say no for sure. He just got back a month ago, but I really want to go somewhere with him."
"I'm already 17 and hopelessly in love with someone who won't return my feelings. We'll just be friends…oh Sasuke-kun. I want to say…Happy Valentine's Day." Sakura brought a hand to her mouth, eyes prickling with tears, but she forced them back.
Sasuke noticed the tensed expression on her facial features and the fact that she looked ready to cry. Before he could say something, their blond-haired teammate appeared.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan, Sasuke-teme." Naruto greeted cheerfully.
"Ohayo, Naruto." Sakura muttered.
"Can't really say good morning when it's 11 am." Sasuke muttered.
"So Sakura-chan, are you and Sasuke-teme going out tonight?" Naruto asked, completely ignoring Sasuke while grinning.
"Iie, Naruto! Don't be silly." Sakura said, giving a rather forced smile before she handed him a white rose with the orange ribbon.
"Arigatou Sakura-chan! Nani? Who're you giving those to?" Naruto squinted at the two other white roses.
"Oh, Kakashi-sensei and Lee-san." Sakura said, smiling softly.
Something in Sasuke's temper flared when Lee's name was mentioned. He felt his chest tighten while a few, rather satisfying images of Lee being tortured passed through his head.
"What happened, Sasuke-kun? You look rather angry all of a sudden." Sakura muttered.
"He's always angry." Naruto input.
"Nothing." He snapped, glaring at Naruto.
"The weather…it's nice." Sakura murmured hoping to strike up a conversation that didn't involve the two spilling blood all over the place.
"Yeah. Perfect for the festival tonight." Naruto said happily.
"Festival?" Sasuke's eyes narrowed.
"Today you're the baka!" Naruto went into a laughing fit.
"Naruto, you shouldn't make fun of Sasuke-kun." Sakura scolded quietly.
Sasuke's features developed a deeper scowl. Sakura's difference stuck out more. Sakura would've hit Naruto if he had made fun of Sasuke.
"The festival that Tsunade-baachan planned. It's V-day don't cha know?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, whatever." Sasuke muttered.
"Why aren't you and Sakura going together? What? Can't 'Uchiha Sasuke' even manage to get a date?" Naruto teased.
"I don't want to go with some dumb psychotic girl who'll end up squeezing the life out of me." Sasuke retorted.
"Sakura isn't some dumb psychotic girl who'll end up squeezing the life out of you." Naruto said rather coolly.
"Um…can we not argue about…" Sakura tried to intervene.
"That's true." Sasuke muttered rather thoughtfully towards Naruto's question.
"Maybe that was what was bothering Sakura. She's probably hung up about not asking me to the festival, but…why didn't she though?" Sasuke began thinking and coming across many factors of Sakura maturing. She had dropped the habit of hugging the daylights out of him and asking him for dates, "Does she…not like me anymore?"
An image of Sakura and him under fireworks, with his fingers running through her silky pink locks and his lips against her soft pink ones crossed his mind. Sasuke's eyes widened at the thought. Naruto snickered.
"Naruto, Sasuke-kun…do you think Kakashi-sensei is coming?" Sakura asked, desperate to change the subject. Sasuke quickly turned his head to the side, trying to rid his face of the heat settling in his cheeks.
"Ano! I forgot to say, I met up with Kakashi-sensei and he said that training and missions have been cancelled due to the festival." Naruto said, grinning cheesily, "He told me to tell you two."
"Then do you mind giving these to Lee and Kakashi for me? If you see them that is. I might just get a few other things before heading home." Sakura said quietly passing over the two roses to Naruto.
"She's not going…?" Sasuke thought.
"Ah, done, Sakura-chan. Anyway, Hinata-chan and I are meeting up at Ichiraku in a few minutes so I have to leave." Naruto quickly walked over to Sasuke with the two roses in hand and whispered, "Don't let Sakura go lonely today after the years you left her here. I'm not going to waste my time forcing you, teme, but if you do go, here are tickets to the reserved area for the fireworks show at 8." Naruto shoved two tickets into Sasuke's hand before he waved and ran off before the two could unleash any of their temper on him.
The Uchiha prodigy clutched the ticket in his hand staring at Naruto's retreating form before he shoved them into his pocket. Sasuke and Sakura were too embarrassed to do anything. After a few minutes of both avoiding the other's eyes, Sasuke turned to face her. The flush disappeared and his calm features returned.
"Damn…he's right. It wouldn't hurt." Sasuke looked over at Sakura.
"Will you go to the festival with me?" He asked quietly. Watching carefully as her eyes sparked up as she recognized the question.
"Y-yes!" Sakura said, she brightened immediately and she could feel her heart fluttering inside. He smiled inwardly before he reached out and casually took her hand, which she held on to with her own, lacing her soft slim fingers with his long calloused ones.
"Matte…Sasuke-kun?" Sakura's features became worried.
"Mm? Having second thoughts about going with me?" He smirked.
"No, nothing like that but I have to wonder, are you…just taking me to get rid of your fangirls?" Sakura looked down.
"Sakura, honestly, do you think I would bother asking you if I didn't want to go? I wouldn't waste my time like that. I want to take you on my own will." Sasuke's mouth curled into a half smile, which sent Sakura swooning internally.
"Come on. I don't want to drag you everywhere." He muttered, tugging her gently.
"Hai, Sasuke-kun. How about we eat lunch seeing as how it's almost noon." Sakura said, rather cheerfully.
"Ah." Sasuke nodded and allowed her to lead them over to a nearby restaurant. "It was worth seeing her happiness." he found himself thinking, "…and the looks of everyone around here."
At that point, Sakura grinned at him, looking the happiest she had ever in her life, "Sasuke-kun…aren't the girls supposed to ask the boys out on Valentine's?"
Sasuke smirked, "Oh well."
After an hour at lunch, Sasuke and Sakura wandered the streets until it was around 6:30 pm, and now the streets were definitely swarming with couples. The places represented the meaning of the holiday with candy shops, gift shops, and numerous gaming stands all decorated with reds and pinks.
Sasuke noticed the pink-haired kunoichi eyeing a stuffed white bear complete with the words 'I Love You' on its chest. He stared at the people lining up and tossing balls at bottles. This would be a simple task…
"Do you want it?" he asked causing Sakura to blush.
"Oh no, Sasuke-kun I don't want you going through the trouble." Sakura muttered, wringing her hands.
"It's a simple question. Yes or no?" The Uchiha prodigy locked eyes with her, looking for a direct answer.
"Yes, it is rather appealing." She said quietly, looking away.
Sasuke let go of her hand and held up three fingers indicating the balls and placed some bills on the counter. The man handed them to him and smiled, "Winning something for your girlfriend? Good luck."
Sasuke glared at him as he carefully positioned the ball before he threw. Sakura sweat dropped as the ball ricocheted off the wall and landed on the ground, not even coming near the bottles.
"The hell?" Sasuke hissed, tossing the other ball, and missing again. This was exactly like kunai practice, but why was he not hitting the target?
He indicated for more after he missed again. After his 12th round of missing…
"Give me more." Sasuke growled, slapping down a handful of bills. He wiped his forehead, which had created a thin sheet of sweat out of all his forced work.
"Uh, Sasuke-kun, you really don't have to…" Sakura started, tugging his shirt.
"No! This thing is rigged or something! I'm going to win that damn bear if it's the last freaking thing I do!" He snapped.
"Can I try, once?" Sakura asked. Sasuke rather annoyed, handed a ball, which she took and tossed in her hand before lightly throwing it.
The ball hit the target perfectly causing the tower of bottles to collapse. Both the stall owner and Sasuke's eyes widened.
"The monkey." Sakura said, pointing towards a reddish brown monkey.
"I thought you wanted the bear?" Sasuke muttered slightly disappointed, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"I wanted you to win that for me, Sasuke-kun. I'm sure you can do it, just toss with a lighter hand." Sakura said, smiling softly as the man handed her the bear.
Sasuke nodded before he concentrated and lightly tossed the ball. The tower of bottles collapsed under his wrath and Sakura cheered.
"13th time is the charm…I guess." Sasuke pointed to the bear and handed it to Sakura who squeezed it to her chest along with the monkey.
"Arigatou, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura stepped forward to include him in the hug but then held back. Sasuke sighed and outstretched his hands indicating Sakura to continue. Sakura, overjoyed, leaped into his arms and hugged him. The crowd behind them cheered and whistled at the couple causing the two to blush.
"Let's go somewhere else." Sasuke muttered, pulling Sakura gently with his arm carefully positioned around her narrow shoulders. The faint red color in his cheeks increasing as the crowd grinned at them.
"So, you and Sakura hooked up?" A voice cut in making the couple jump.
"Uh…yeah, sure?" Sasuke muttered to the lazy genius, who had his arm clasped tightly by a blonde kunoichi who was smirking at Sakura.
"Finally, child! You'd think that you two would NEVER get together!" Ino chimed, before she took Sakura's plushie free arm and steered her a few feet away from Sasuke and Shikamaru.
"Troublesome woman." The strategizer mumbled, smiling slightly as he placed his hands in his pockets.
"Ino, you swine! How could you possibly suggest such a thing!" Sakura shrieked, placing both hands on her flaming cheeks as Ino burst into a fit of laughter heard by our two observant males. Both Shikamaru and Sasuke sweatdropped.
"I don't want to know." Sasuke said, giving the two girls an annoyed look.
"I'm glad we don't know. Moving on, how are you and Sakura coming along? Enjoying yourself?" Shikamaru asked.
"Ah." Sasuke muttered, looking over at Sakura, "Pretty well."
Sakura had nearly dropped her monkey and bear as Ino dragged her a few meters away.
"Sasuke-kun win that for you?" Ino asked. Sakura giggled and recited the story, making Ino laugh.
"Shikamaru can't make his way through a paper bag when it comes to carnival games." Ino chuckled.
Sakura smiled, "I feel so happy today, like my heart would just burst from joy."
"I know what you mean, but don't get too carried away. I'm sure Sasuke-kun wouldn't mind completing his second goal with you. Well Mrs. Uchiha Sakura, how many does he want? Five? Ten? Twenty?" her blonde haired friend grinned.
"Ino, you swine! How could you possibly suggest such a thing!" Sakura shrieked, placing both hands on her vibrant cheeks. Ino practically fell to the ground laughing as Sakura covered her mouth as she realized how loud she had been.
"Anyway, I don't want you two to be apart for so long, ne? But before you go, I just want you to be careful ok? I trust Sasuke-kun and all, but just be careful." Ino quickly pulled Sakura into a hug.
Sakura smiled softly with the red hue still coloring her cheeks, "Arigatou Ino, but…I'm sure, Sasuke-kun will be the only one for me. I'm positive."
"You better share some details with me later!" Ino said cheerfully.
Both the girls giggled before they headed back to their dates. Sakura went over and took Sasuke's hand. His eyes widened a fraction but he eased himself.
"See you two later." Shikamaru and Ino waved before disappearing into the crowd.
Sasuke looked at a watch hanging from an open restaurant, "Come on, it's almost 8, I want to take you somewhere."
"O-ok…" Sakura stuttered still a bit shocked from what Ino had said.
"Your face is all red. Are you getting sick?" If Sakura's face possibly could get redder, it did just then when Sasuke glanced at her and placed a hand over her forehead.
"Oh no no, Sasuke-kun. It's nothing, I'm just excited." Sakura mumbled, pulling Sasuke's hand and clasping it again with her own before she shook her head.
Sasuke eyed her again and smirked, "Ah…but I'm afraid you'll be a bit more in a few minutes."
"Nande?" She asked, tilting her head.
"You'll see, demo…we have to be there on time." The Sharingan user said, lightly pulling her along into a lightly paced sprint.
"Sasuke-kun, what are we doing?" she asked as she took in deep breaths to refill her lungs from the long run.
He hushed her for a moment before he handed a man the tickets who responded, "You're just in time. Second booth."
"In a minute, you'll see." Sasuke led her up a set of staircases. Sakura discovered that the booth was actually a small area, much like a private balcony, which had a low rail that seemed only a foot high. The balcony had cushions arranged for two people, a small table with two mugs and a pitcher of hot tea and a pile of blankets.
A loud bang to which the sky lit up in brilliantly bright colors sent Sakura on a direct launch into Sasuke's arms out of surprise. Sasuke chuckled and gently eased Sakura onto the cushion.
"Fireworks!" Sakura exclaimed in shock as the next streak of color zoomed through the sky and exploded. Hearing Sasuke's laughter was what surprised her most.
Sasuke nodded and handed her a blanket. He swore he heard Naruto in a booth nearby shrieking, "UWAH! Hinata-chan, look look!"
"Arigatou!" Sakura said, smiling. The temperature had dropped quite a bit since the day's beginning considering it was February.
He looked back over at Sakura, who despite with the blanket draped over her narrow frame, was still shivering. His arm made its way around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace.
Sakura blushed but she wrapped her arms around him and they leaned back against the wall behind them, near the glass door and admired the color shooting through the sky as the full moon glowed down upon them.
Sakura sighed sadly as they walked back to her apartment and she began to think, "Atleast Sasuke-kun was kind enough to walk me home, but it's such a shame for this night to end now. It was so beautiful."
"Hm, Sakura?"
"Hai, Sasuke-kun? Nani?" she whispered.
"We're here." He muttered, gesturing towards her door.
"Oh. Arigatou, Sasuke-kun. I really really want to thank you for this wonderful night. I'll cherish it always." Sakura said, smiling as she held the bear and monkey close to her.
Sasuke surprised her by taking her hand and leading her onto her doorstep.
"Well goodnight, Sasuke-kun." Sakura whispered with an even smaller smile as she got ready to open her door.
He placed a hand beside her head on the door behind them, leaned forward and muttered in her ear, "It's not over yet."
Sakura didn't even have time to gasp when she dropped her new stuffed animals as Sasuke used his other hand to tilt her chin upwards and captured her mouth with his own.
She let out a small moan and placed her hands lightly on his shoulders. The kunoichi felt her face heat up and was sure he could hear her increasing heartbeat.
They both separated for air and stared at each other. Sasuke shot her his miniscule signature smile and Sakura felt her twelve-year-old self resurface as she blushed yet again.
"Happy Valentine's Day." He whispered before turning and began on his way home.
Sakura watched till he disappeared and picked up her plushies, hugging them to herself before murmuring, "Happy Valentine's Day indeed."
