Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Walking from village to village for the past five days was such an ordeal for Sakura. It was hot and humid. What was worse, she'd been craving for chocolate since she had her period, and didn't get the chance to buy in any of the villages that they had passed since they were always in a hurry.

"Alright, one last stop and then we can go home," Kakashi drawled.

"Finally!" Naruto exclaimed. "This mission is so boring." He squinted until his eyes closed, making him look like a fox.

Sakura sighed. She agreed with Naruto. Delivering scrolls, picking them up, and delivering them to another village made her feel more like a messenger, and not like a ninja. But at least these missions were low risk, and far from anything that they have experienced in the Land of Waves.

"Hn." Sasuke sulked and stuffed his hands in his pockets.

The Jonin simply smiled, making his lone visible eye disappear and lead the way.

"I really hope I can find some chocolate there," Sakura muttered to herself as she looked at the clear, summer sky.

"Chocolate?" Naruto repeated. "What for, Sakura-chan?"

She laughed and waved him off. "Nothing. I'm just craving for it, is all."

"Oh, well…" the blond scratched the back of his head and grinned. "Then I'll help you find some in the next village."

She smiled at him and nodded in thanks.

Naruto being Naruto, searched far and wide to help his teammate get that chocolate bar she was craving for. Sakura, on the other hand, had more self control during her search. Kakashi was nice enough to let her and Naruto wander around while he and Sasuke delivered the scroll. After two hours of searching, she wanted to give up.

Sakura sat on a bench and sighed. Maybe her chocolate craving just wasn't meant to be met. She looked at the sun in the sky. It was almost time for them to go to their meeting point. She stood up and thought it was time to look for Naruto. It was best they weren't late.

Just when she turned heel, she heard a loud voice behind her.

"Sakura-chaaaaan!"

She looked back and saw a bright ball of orange running her way. He was holding on to something, and a wide grin was on his face. "I found one! I found you a chocolate bar, and it was the last one!"

Her green eyes lit up and she couldn't help but grin. Maybe Naruto wasn't so bad after all.

Once the four of them met up, Sakura happily took the chocolate bar from the blond and couldn't stop smiling. She was finally going to satisfy her craving! It had been far too long. Slowly, she peeled open the bar and broke it in half. She offered the other to Naruto, who was walking by her side, as her thanks for finding it for her. The blond took it and finished it all in one bite.

Kakashi looked back over his shoulder to observe but eventually turned his attention back to the road ahead. Sasuke lagged behind a few steps from the two.

Just when Sakura was about to take a bite, she noticed a child in raggy clothes approaching them. The little girl stopped in front of Kakashi and asked for some spare change. The Jonin laughed and scratched his head. He apologized that he had none to spare. Naruto on the other hand quickly patted his pockets down to search.

Her green eyes widened as she felt a tug at her heart for the poor child. She approached her and smiled. "I don't have a change, but here," she offered half of her chocolate bar to her, "you can have this."

The little girl's dark eyes lit up and she took the bar happily. She said her thanks and scurried away.

Kakashi raised his brow, and the blond gaped. "But Sakura-chan!"

"It's okay, Naruto." She smiled. "I can wait until we get back to the village."

The blond pursed his lips but eventually gave her a grin. "Gosh, you're so nice, Sakura-chan." He then looked over at Sasuke and glared. "I wish some other bastard was as nice as you."

"Shut up, loser," Sasuke bit back.

Sakura simply laughed and walked on ahead.

Later that night, Sakura was fixing up their campsite. Kakashi and Naruto headed out to find food and water. She was left alone with Sasuke. He tended to the fire, as she laid out their sleeping bags.

"Here."

"Hmm?" Sakura looked up and came face to face with a chocolate bar. She then turned her gaze up to Sasuke's face. He had a light blush on his cheeks, as he stubbornly looked away. "Sasuke-kun," she whispered. It was so confusing. Why would Sasuke have a chocolate bar? He hated sweets.

"I bought it for you," he replied. "I heard you've been wanting this, and you gave it to the child…"

Sakura felt her cheeks fill with heat as she internalized what he had said. He had bought the chocolate bar for her. She knew how hard it was to find, so he must have done some searching himself.

She grinned widely and took the bar. "Thank you, Sasuke-kun. This is so sweet of you."

"Hn." He turned and walked away. What Sakura didn't see was the smirk and look of satisfaction on his face.

She looked at the chocolate bar in her hands and opened it. She took a bite and relished the sweet and creamy texture. They were right. Chocolate always tasted better when they were from the person you loved.
