Setting: The infirmary and Naruto's apartment
Notes: Sakura's are in bold italics.
"Sasuke… is that you?" Sakura quietly asked as she awakened. "Welcome back, I thought I lost you there for a second…" Sakura blushed at this remark and so did Sasuke. "I meant to say 'we' thought we lost you, Sakura." Sasuke said quickly. She just laughed while she tried to get up. "Listen, Sasuke. We need to talk about last night." Sasuke winced at the memories of this. "There's nothing to say… you and Naruto were enjoying your night off and that's all." He then got up and headed for the door. Sakura felt her heart crush in Sasuke's cold words. "Sasuke, wait!" she called out. He whisked around to have his lips meet Sakura's. "I know what that looked like, but don't blame Naruto. After you went home to go train, I just… I made myself too vulnerable and available. " Sasuke warmed up to her and returned her kiss. "I know I push you away sometimes, Sakura. But I always thought love was a weakness. Since I met you and Naruto, especially you, I know now that it's a strength…"
"Oh. Hello, Anko" Kakashi said as he made his way beside her. Anko is another jounin ninja of the hidden leaf village. Over the years, she has been in charge of the chunin exams. Although she is the director of the exams, she personally handles the second test herself. Anko's tough, but she means well. "Kakashi, is that you?" she spoke in her stern voice, "I missed you yesterday…" She began to cuddle under Kakashi's chin. "I would've been here, but Lady Hokage had a new mission for me… She's appointed me the task of training the survivor of the hidden cloud village." This made Anko even gasp at this remark. "Really? Well you are the best jounin ninja in all of Konoha." Kakashi blushed, which is something he doesn't do. "There's more… this kid has the powers of the Uchina and Hyuga clans. And… he also has this whole other personality. He took out my whole team in two jutsus." Anko could get out only one word, "Whoa…" The thought of Ayato's power made Anko wince. "Are they alright, Kakashi?" "Yeah, they're recovering in the infirmary. There's no permanent damage." This reassured Anko, "Well, it's a good thing you were there to stop the fight and that you're alright too." With that she kissed him and Kakashi started to blush again.
Naruto and the gang were later released that same day; however, back at Naruto's apartment…
(Knock, knock, knock) "Huh?" Naruto spoke as he woke from a deep slumber, "You people have got to stop coming at like midnight!" He opened the door only to see Sakura waiting. "Oh, Sakura, it's you." She came in with a sad look on her face. They must have been thinking the same thing when both said, "I need to tell you something." "You go first Sakura." She took a deep breath. "I know what happened the night before was special, but…" "I don't think you're the one for me." Sakura gasped at this. "How did you know I was going to say that, Naruto." "Because I was going to tell you the same thing." He motioned her to come in and look into his bedroom. Sakura smiled as she noticed the girl sleeping soundly, it was Hinata. Apparently she had crashed at Naruto's after her last mission. "Sakura…" she looked up at Naruto's remark; "Take good of Sasuke for me, I still gotta fight him ya know." She left with a smile through his window. It's about time those two realized they were made for each other. There's one less thing to wonder about…
