"E-eh, uh, could you say that again?" Sakura asked, shocked that the boy she has come to know for the past few months now has asked her that type of question.
"I-I...nevermind, please forget about Sakura-san." Chouji mumbled.
Since his head was turned down he couldn't see the warm smile Sakura had on her face.
Taking his head she made him look at her, of course he was taller by a head.
"Fine by me."
Smiling she slowly closed the space between them. They broke apart and both had blushes on their cheeks.
Closing the space between them again Sakura wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He pulled Sakura to him and they stood that way for a while. Soon the evil demon of get-the-air-back-into-your-lungs-after-making-out reared its unwanted head.
The two of them gasped slightly and they both smiled.
"I-I guess I'll see you tomorrow Sakura-san." Chouji said as he walked off her front steps.
"Sakura-chan."
He turned around and smiled at her.
"I'll see you tomorrow Sakura-chan."
Sakura watched as his figure disappeared and then she went into her house. She locked the door and turned off the lights and went upstairs to her bedroom. Changing into her pajamas she fell unto her bed.
She lightly touched her kiss swollen lips and smiled.
"I just might be falling for you Chouji." she wispered before she fell asleep.
~Chouji's room~
"I just might be falling for you Sakura-chan. And I hope you win." was the last words Chouji said.
The next morning Sakura woke with a start as she hurriedly dressed. When she walked out of her house she was grinning. She headed to her team's training grounds and saw that Sasuke and Naruto were already there. And as usual, their sensei was late.
"One day I'm gonna threaten all of his precious so-called novels and maybe he would come on time." yelled an annoyed Sakura.
"How would you threaten his books?" Naruto asked.
"I'm gonna either threaten him by ripping every single copy he owns in front of him while he is tied up to a pole. Or I could burn them and laugh with glee. Or, better yet, tell Tsunade shisou that Kakashi sensei has been making me read those 'novels' and then him and Jiraiya get pummeled. I'm voting for option three." concluded Sakura.
"Wow Sakura-chan, you're scary right now." Naruto said.
"Go and write your will dobe." Sasuke smirked.
"Why?"
Then he felt a quite chilling aura from behind him.
"That's why."
"Oh Sa~su~ke, I'm coming after you too." Sakura smiled.
Both boys' eyes widened and they both ran. Even the almighty stick-up-his-rear-end Sasuke was running. He actually wanted to live.
"Come back here you two!" yelled a rampaging pinkette.
~Meanwhile~
"Kakashi?"
Said man turned around to face none other than Asuma and his team.
"What happened to you man?" the black haired man asked.
"I think I'm starting to develop a phobia for females with pink hair." the Copy Nin muttered.
To team ten he looked like a nervous wreck.
"I wonder what Forehead did this time?" Ino wondered out loud.
"You should say what Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke have done this time." said a voice from behind the blonde.
"Wow, not calling Kakashi-san Kakashi sensei. What have you done now Kakashi-san?" Shikamaru asked.
"He was late...again."
"Ow...Sakura-chan, did you have to hit so hard?" whined the whiskered blonde.
"Ow...are you sure that wasn't a chakra infused punch?" Sasuke asked, wincing everytime he moved his right arm.
"Yes Naruto I did need to hit that hard and no Sasuke, that wasn't chakra infused. That was Saku-infused."
"You mean...Inner Sakura?" Naruto gulped.
"Wait! Isn't that the look-a-like that was in your mind when I entered it during our fight?" Ino asked.
"Yep."
"Man, she was scary. If I hadn't known better I would've thought you had a demon in you."
"Good thing you know me then huh." laughed Sakura. "Hey Shikamaru. Chouji-kun."
"Hey Sakura/Sakura-chan." Shikamaru and Chouji greeted together.
"Chouji-kun? Sakura-chan?" Naruto, Kakashi, and Ino asked.
"Yeah, oh Chouji-kun, tell Chiaki-chan that I won't be able to come over for a while. We just got a mission from the Hokage." Sakura said.
"Alright. Oh and have you seen Kana, Amane, and Suki?"
"No. Hmm, I'll go check up on them later, right now I need to get to my training with shisou. I'll see you tomorrow Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi sensei. Oh and everybody better be on time!" Sakura called as she ran.
"I think I'll go to bed early tonight." Kakashi said.
"First, you treat us to ramen, but this time, you will pay." Naruto grinned.
"What if I don't?"
"I call Sakura-chan and ask her if she could help me with a little project." Naruto said.
"Who wants ramen?" Kakashi asked.
Team Ten, Naruto, and Sasuke raised their hands grinning/smirking at the silver haired jonin.
