Monkeys, Kumquats and Kittens (Oh My!)

Prompts: monkey in the middle, kumquat, kittens

Chapter One: Monkeys, Kittens, and Kisses

SFX: CRASH BANG BOOM

It was a fairly peaceful day in Konoha, except for one place; Team 7's training area. It wasn't so peaceful here, as Sasuke and Naruto were too busy playing monkey in the middle; although it wasn't so much a game of "monkey in the middle", but more so a game of "let's take something of Sakura's and bug her by not giving it back". This time, however, was different. They were using her... kitten? Yes, you read correctly. Her kitten. You may ask, "Why are they using her kitten of all things?" Well, that is because this is Sasuke and Naruto we're talking about here.

"Hey! Give it back!", shrieked Sakura. Sasuke outright refused, as he was not going to give in that easily, much less to Sakura. "No way are we going to give it back now! We're having way too much fun!", exclaimed Naruto. Sakura's kitten, however, didn't really care either way; she was secretly having a lot of fun too.

"Well, how much longer is this going to on, exactly?" cried Sakura. Sasuke smirked quietly to himself (of course, Sakura didn't know he was doing this) and said smugly, "Oh, I don't know, maybe until you get annoyed." Sakura shrieked, "Well, it's too late for that now! I've been annoyed!" So Sakura then proceeded to chase Sasuke and Naruto around the training grounds for about an hour, in which time Kakashi decided to show up.

"What's going on here? I heard shouting and I thought that I'd show up." Kakashi said sounding slightly bored (as per usual). Sakura shouted, "Sasuke and Naruto thought it would be fun to play monkey in the middle with my innocent kitten! And Sasuke's being an ass and won't give her back to me!" "Okay Sasuke, Naruto, enough's enough. Give her kitten back already." Kakashi said. Naruto complied, afraid of what would happen to him if he didn't, but also because he was a good person. Sasuke, however, still needed some talking to. "Come ON, Sasuke. Kakashi said to give it up already! Sakura was right; you are being an ass right now." Naruto shouted. "Alright, alright, fine." Sasuke said (albeit unwillingly) with a slight smirk on his face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later that day...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time skip!

Later that day, Sakura found Sasuke at the training grounds, but this time, however, he was alone. "Oh, hey Sasuke, fancy meeting you here!" exclaimed Sakura. Sasuke merely replied with "Hn." "What's that supposed to mean?!" Sakura shrieked. Again, Sasuke replied with "Hn." "Oh, you're hopeless! Anyways, that's not why I came here. I've come here to let you know that I have forgiven you for earlier." Sakura said as she started to walk away.

"Wait! Sakura! OI! I said wait!" Sasuke shouted, as he ran after her. He caught up with Sakura not soon after she walked away, as she hadn't walked that far off. Sakura inquired, "Yes, Sasuke? What is it?" Suddenly, Sasuke was right behind her, and he whispered, "I'm sorry." in her ear. Sakura suddenly gasped and whispered back, "Wow, Sasuke. That was really nice of you to do that, but I've already forgiven you for what you've done. What else do you need to do for me?"

Sasuke said, "This." and suddenly, he was in front of her. Sakura gasped when she saw that Sasuke had kissed her without her realizing it. Just as Sakura was realizing what he was doing, he suddenly pulled back. Sakura whispered, "Wow...that was great."

He replied, "Oh, I know." Sasuke quickly added, "Oi! Sakura! I was um... you know, wondering..." "Wondering what?" Sakura asked. "Ano... I was wondering ifyou'dgoshoppingforkumquatswithme?" Sasuke finished. Sakura was confused, so she asked, "What was that last part again?" "I said, do you want to shop for kumquats with me?" Sakura thought, "Who knew he'd be into that sort of thing." but she agreed anyways. "Great, meet me here tomorrow after training." Sasuke said.

"Wait Sasuke! I want to give you something!" Just as Sakura said that, she took Sasuke's face in her hands and kissed him softly.
She suddenly pulled away and said, "I just wanted to return the favor since I couldn't do it earlier." Sakura then started to walk away, saying "Sayonara, Sasuke! Mata ashita!"
When Sakura was gone, Sasuke started to blush, but she couldn't see that. Little did he know, she was blushing too.

End of Chapter 1: Monkeys, Kittens, and Kisses

Chapter 2: Kumquat Shopping

Preview:

"Thank you, Sakura for coming with me." Sakura blushed and said, "You're welcome."

A/N: Yeah, random I know. Well, the story of how this came about is that we had these "thought-books" in English - which are basically books that we decorate and do whatever we want with (write, doodle, collage, etc.), and I waws bored, so I started to write. I've been obsessed with the word "kumquat" lately (what can I say, it's an awesome word) and that started the prompt thing. It just went from there. Yes, Sakura got a kitten, then it ran away. I was planning on making this a one-shot, but I decided I wanted the kumquat shopping as its own chapter at the last minute, so I ended the chapter there. Second chapter is coming. I haven't started it yet, but I made a preview, which might inspire me to write (I just have to build the seocnd chapter around the preview ;]). So yeah! That's that.
