Naruto sighed. How come I do all I can to impress Sakura-chan? Sakura smiled at him. Naruto looked around. He saw Ino walking down the streets. Great, there goes my chance to ask Sakura-chan out.. Sakura then looked at him desperatly.
"Hey, Naruto, wanna go out to eat?" She lowered her voice to a whisper. "I don't feel like dealing with Ino right now.." Naruto nodded. "Great!" She giggled and grabbed Naruto's arm. He felt a blush creeping along his face.
They sat down at a ramen restaraunt. "Don't worry, Naruto. I'm paying."
"Thanks. But I think I should pay! It's only fair!" Sakura giggled.
"No, you let me drag you around and didn't complain. I'm paying!" Naruto leaned in close to her face.
"But that's no fair. You know that I like being dragged around by you!" Sakura giggled again and ate her ramen.
"So, do you think that Sasuke and Sai have killed each other yet?" Naruto laughed.
"Hmm.. Let's see, the bitch or the fag?" Sakura tapped her chin.
"I don't know... I would like to see the bitch win, so then we can keep on calling him our bitch..." Sakura laughed.
"Yeah, but then again, I want to keep on calling Sai a fag, it's only fair after how much he treated us bad... But I still want Sasuke to win!" They laughed. A chime went off and Sakura turned to see Sasuke in the doorway. She lowered her voice to a whisper.
"Uh-oh! Looks like the bitch won!" They laughed. Sasuke walked over.
"Since when were you two dating?!" Naruto and Sakura's faces grew red.
"Sasuke, you bitch! We aren't dating! I just had to come up with an excuse not to deal with Ino-pig!" Now it was Sasuke's turn to turn red.
"Sakura... If you weren't a girl... I would have punched you already. Stop calling me a bitch." Sakura sighed. She knew that Sasuke couldn't punch her!
"Sasuke, you bitch. You know that you can't even touch me." Sakura said with a flip of her hair. Sasuke was mad.
"I said, stop calling me that! And I had to deal with Ino since you wouldn't!" Naruto laughed, Sasuke swung at Sakura, who caught his arm. Sasuke swung his other arm and Sakura caught that one too, with the same hand. Sasuke was getting even madder. Sakura smirked and punched Sasuke in the face. He went flying backwards. Naruto's mouth dropped in awe.
"I told you." Sasuke sat up and rubbed his face. "Hm." Sakura wiped her forehead off.
"Since when could you actually fight? I thought you were just the lovesick teenage girl who couldn't even punch!" Naruto laughed.
"Wow! Sakura-chan! You hit him good!!" Sakura sighed and got up.
"Naruto, you're paying. I decided that since I took care of the bitch, that you should pay." Naruto nodded. Sakura walked outside.
"Ok." He left money on the table and ran after Sakura. Sasuke was left on the floor rubbing his face. Sai walked in and stared at Sasuke.
"Wow. I'm guessing ugly hit you. Am I right?" Sasuke just glared at him.
"Go away, fag."
"Bitch." Sasuke got up and walked outside. Sai sat down at a table and ordered food.
Sakura was sitting on her window ledge. Wow, Sasuke needs to appreciate my strength more... She flipped her hair. "SAKURA-SAAAN!!" Sakura looked down and saw Lee standing below her window. "Sakura-san, want to go on a date??!!" Sakura shook her head.
"Sorry, Naruto just took me out to eat." Lee looked at the ground. "Maybe some other time..."
"Ok! I'll wait for it!" He said while waving at Sakura. Gawd. What a nerd! She sighed and swung her legs back over the side of her window. She got up and looked at herself in the mirror. Not the 'I'm so sexy..' look, but the 'Who am I?' look. She then walked over to her drawers and pulled one open. It had tons of red and pink, fancy kimonos in it. What should I wear tomorrow? I mean, I'm turning 16!! There was a loud knock on her door. She ran down the steps and opened the door. A very mysterious, and cool Sasuke stood in the doorway. Sakura's face turned red.
"Umm... Sasuke... What are you doing here?!" Sakura stood there confused.
"I want to know who taught you that unbelievable strength. Can I come in?" Sakura nodded and got out of the way.
"Umm.. Tsunade-sama taught me. I'm learning under her now.. And Nar-" Sasuke cut her off.
"I don't care about him, so, Tsunade, the fifth right?" Sakura nodded her head.
"Yeah. Um.. Do you want anything to drink or eat??"
"Nah. I'm not hungry or thirsty." Sakura mumbled an 'oh' and sat down on the couch. There was another knock on the door.
"Hold on." She peeked through the hole on the top of the door. Naruto? What is he doing here?! "I'll be right back..." She said. She opened the door and crept outside. "Naruto! What are you doing here?!" She whispered.
"Sorry! I just saw Sasuke come in. I wanted to know what he wanted."
"He just wants to know who taught me that move I used back at the cafe!! None of your business otherwise!"
"Fine! I'll just go and hang with fuzzy-brows." Sakura went back into her house.
"Who was it?" Sakura chuckled.
"Just Naruto... Didn't want anything.." Sakura sat back down on the couch.
"Oh. So, what are you doing for your birthday tomorrow?" Sakura's face grew red again. He actually remembered her birthday?!
"Not much.. Ino, Hinata, Tenten, and I are just going to some club..." Sakura said with a grin. Color drained from Sasuke's face.
"A club?! Do you want to get kidnapped?!" Sakura's eyes grew wide.
"Why are you so interested in what I do now?! Tsunade's coming too! I'm not the same little girl you left!" Sakura got up. Sasuke followed her with his eyes.
"Sorry.. I just don't want a teammate to get hurt again.." Sakura rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. You should have thought of that before you left!" Sasuke walked over to her.
"What did you say?!" Sakura leaned in.
"I said, you should have thought of that before you left!" Sasuke got mad. Sakura walked away into the kitchen.
"Well, I only left because of that damn cursed seal. I really didn't know how much you cared." Sakura spun around.
"Why don't you just drop dead?!" Sakura shouted.
"Fine! I will!" And with that Sasuke walked out of her house with a slam. Sakura sighed.
