Tsuki: And here we are chapter six. Now let's see how Sakura handled the kiss! Okay, I'm not going to lie, I need some serious ideas, and I will give you credit for them if I use one! So please don't make me strain and stress over this or it may never get done. *ears go back and puppy eyes*

Today to do the disclaimer is Sasuke! Yay! Go Sasuke-san!

Sasuke: Hn… Tsuki doesn't own shit.

Tsuki: *whacks Sasuke on the head* watch your mouth and say it right!

Sasuke: …*sighs* Tsuki doesn't own Naruto.

Tsuki: Thanks Sasuke! Now then! Let's do this mother!

Sasuke: Okay… Don't call me mother.

Tsuki: *sweatdrop*

^..^

Sakura paced her house again today, for what seemed like the one-billionth time in a row. The night before she had spent in her room, crying and thinking about what happened, criticizing everything she did and didn't do. Changing then rechanging her thoughts on it (it being the kiss mainly).

I can't believe I over-reacted over such a small word! She screamed inwardly. All he said was thank you! I should be grateful! Maybe it was just too soon though… maybe it just brought back too many memories… She shook her head violently, and plopped down onto her couch, staring out at the road. Ugh I am so angry! I just need to go train!

She went to her closet and changed into her outfit from two days ago, the red tank and the black dry-fit shorts. This time she filled her kunai pouch to the brim, and put her gloves on, along with her red headband. Sakura ran to the training fields as fast as she could, and set up some dummies for her to hit. In no time there was a pile of dummy-carnage next to her.

"Hiiiiiya!" She kicked the one she was currently, brutally killing. This one's fate was just the same. After beating the shit (and stuffing and pride) out of the twentieth dummy, she finished, sweating in anger. Laughing slightly at the pile of stuffing around her, she plopped down on the cool grass and looked up at the cloudy blue sky.

"Yo." Sakura turned her head and saw Kakashi standing before her.

"Kakashi-sensei," she stood and dusted herself off. "What are you doing here?"

"Just stopping by to say hey, I saw you here and decided why not."

"So I heard you talked to Sasuke."

"That I did." His nose was buried in his book as he talked to her.

"What'd he have to say?"

"Not much, not much." Sakura was quiet now, and a blush appeared as she thought of why she came here in the first place. "What's wrong, Sakura?"

"Kakashi, can I tell you something?" She didn't wait for him to answer. "Okay, yesterday I went to Sasuke's, right? And so we were talking and having an okay time, and then he said 'thank you', and I freaked out." He nodded understandingly. "So I hugged him and he stopped, but then he kissed me, and I ran off! Was that the right thing to do?"

"I don't know, you love him?" She shrugged.

"I think so…"

"You got to know so Sakura."

"I do."

"Okay, then it wasn't wrong or right. It's up to you what you do." He shrugged now, and continued reading.

"But what if he just did it because he was going crazy all locked up in his house or something?!"

"Sakura, that sounds crazy. But I'll tell you what, tomorrow I'll talk to the other ANBU and the Hokage, and all of the old team 7 will go outside and hang out, just like we used to."

"Okay…" He began to walk off. "Wait! Can we have a picnic when we go out?" He didn't look up, and nodded. Sakura smiled as her old sensei walked off. Unknowingly to her, he was smiling too.

A picnic, huh? He smiled. Things don't change… Kakashi was actually somewhat excited to see how things would turn out though.

Tsunade sat in her office, with the ninja she had sent on the mission not long ago. Shikamaru, Kiba, and even Naruto all looked very serious.

"We have found that it wasn't Orochimaru Tsunade," Shikamaru began. "But it is someone to be cautious of."

"I'm listening." She said, leaning back and putting her hands together.

"It's Kabuto, Lady Tsunade." Kiba said, and Akamaru barked at the sound of the name.

"Kabuto Yakushi, I see… Well then, precautions still need to be taken, but other than that… Shizune," Tsunade summoned her assistant.

"Yes Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked.

"Open all missions outside the village, and schedule an attack on Kabuto. Shikamaru, tell me everything you saw."

He nodded. "We couldn't see much, it was just a camp. There were at least twenty nin though, and they all seemed pretty strong."

"Yeah, Akamaru was freaking out!" Kiba added.

"Anyway, yeah we couldn't get close enough to hear what they were planning. I think we do need to take action though, before they do."

"Thank you, I will take this into consideration. You are dismissed."

"Grandma Tsunade, how is Sasuke?" Naruto asked after the others left.

"He is doing fine. Apparently he's found a little companion, a cat or something, I don't know. But there were rumors among the ANBU that one of them saw Sakura and the Uchiha kissing. This worries me a little; I don't want her getting hurt. Do you think you can visit her for me, Naruto?"

He nodded and left without another word. Naruto felt oddly happy for her, but at the same time was as worried as Tsunade. I wonder where she is? He thought as he left the Tower.

Sakura was still in the training field when she spotted Naruto. She waved him over, and he ran to her, then sat shook her violently.

"Sakura is it true!? Did Sasuke kiss you? Did he hurt you?! Are you angry?!" He yelled and she laughed.

"Yes he did kiss me, no he didn't hurt me, and no I'm not angry, I'm just confused." He smiled and lifted her off the ground, spinning once in a rib-cracking hug.

"I'm so happy for you Sakura! I knew you two would be together! I'm going to tell Hinata right now! She'll be so happy too!"

"Naruto, we aren't together."

"Yeah well you two will be." He laughed and let go of her.

"Hey, we were going to go on a picnic tomorrow, you in?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay, oh, how'd the mission go?"

"It turns out it was Kabuto. Grandma Tsunade is planning an attack on him and his group of ninja; they seemed pretty strong when I saw them."

"Oh, that's no good. Well I hope I get drafted, I want to be there to take him down!" They laughed nervously.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then. We should meet around noon; I'll pass it on to Kakashi." Sakura nodded, and Naruto walked off. "See ya! I have to go meet with Hinata, we're going to do some training at her compound."

"Bye Naruto-niisan!" She waved and smiled as he walked off. Okay, so maybe this isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be… She lay back on the grass; the sun had just risen to its highest point. Maybe the kiss wasn't so bad after all. Her smile widened now.

Over head birds flew, and sung their song. The wind gently blew the grass, and the sun shone slight warmth onto her skin. See Sakura, nothing has stopped. Everything is just going on as normal. Why should you change? She laughed to herself, and sat up, getting ready to do some more training. Who knew what tomorrow would bring, but then again, why worry, right?

Tsuki: Yay, sixth chapter! It was short I know, the next will be longer most likely. Well, there's only one more chapter left, and then I'll write the sequel (depending on what people say). So in the next one, well… I'll explain it at the end of the next chapter! So let's get a move on!
