And now we're on number three… I like this one. Hopefully you guys will too. I'm sure someone else has had this idea before, but it's been in my head so I had to write it out. Anywho, enjoy!
I do not own Naruto.
Tapestry
---Three: Kiss---
Sakura's first kiss was not from the person she expected it to be.
Lee had asked her for a date so many times; when she was fifteen (before Naruto came back) she finally said yes. The date was pleasant. Not amazing, but not awful by any means. They went to dinner, not at Ichiraku but at another of Konoha's restaurants; one slightly more upscale than the ever-popular ramen stand. Afterwards Lee walked her home. Outside her door he asked if he could kiss her. She thought about it for a moment before nodding her consent. He kissed her, they said goodnight, and that was that. No fireworks, and no second date. They stayed good friends, though.
Sakura's second kiss was not what she expected it to be.
It was in the same spot she'd received her first kiss almost exactly a year before. Sakura had to wonder, as it was happening, if Naruto knew that. She assumed he didn't and decided not to enlighten him. Much as the two liked each other, the kiss was awkward. She didn't tell him that her first kiss had been better, and they agreed never to mention the event again. Somehow the entire village found out about it the next day, and Ino teased her friend about the fact until Sakura slugged her. After that no one suggested that Naruto and Sakura were anything more than best friends and teammates, because no one wanted a bruise to match the magnificent one that bloomed around Ino Yamanaka's eye for a few hours before she managed to get a medic to heal it.
Sakura's third kiss was not when she expected it to be.
Sasuke came back when they were seventeen, and he walked her home on the night of the anniversary of her first and second kisses. She was one to appreciate fate, so she waited for a moment once they reached her doorstep. He bid her a verbal goodnight and walked away. She stared after him, not bothering to hide her disappointment because he wasn't facing her. Training the next day was horrible, and their other teammates said so. Sakura left early, and for some reason even he couldn't explain, Sasuke ran after her. It was that day, on her doorstep, that he brushed his lips against hers and she finally got everything she always wanted.
"You're late," Sakura whispered. Then she kissed him back.

Yeah, I'm a die-hard SasuSaku fan. This is one of the few things I've written that actually turned out exactly the way I wanted it to. Thanks for reading, and please review!
