Chapter 3
One day, Kaede and Sasuke had to go on a mission together, just the two of them. The Hokage had decided Sasuke and Kaede were very capable (being on nearly equal terms strength-wise, which says a lot) and could handle an A-rank mission on their own.
Sakura and Chiharu were assigned a mission too, not far from Sasuke's and Kaede's. However, Sakura was in charge, and she was "teaching" Chiharu. The night before they had left, Chiharu had cried because she had to do a mission alone with Sakura. Kaede had laughed secretly. She, on the other hand, was extremely happy with her assignment. A good, exciting mission AND being alone with Sasuke. Kaede was in bliss that night.
The next morning, the two teams set out at the same time. Their destination: a small village in Konoha. Both sisters left in tears, but for entirely different reasons. They departed. Kaede was happy, but unsure of what to say to Sasuke. So, she focused on the mission. Chiharu only said something when asked a question, and she answered bluntly. She wanted to say as little as possible.
On Kaede's end, all was well. Sasuke was more talkative than usual. Kaede spent the whole time smiling to herself. However, Chiharu was angry the whole time. A smile only passed her lips when she had the thought of killing Sakura as Sakura ordered her around. It was a brief smile. A giggle escaped Kaede's lips as she watched a frustrated Chiharu be bossed around. They were traveling close by, so Kaede could use her favorite tracking jutsu to check on dear Katy.
As Sakura was turned around, Chiharu began to pretend to strangle her from behind. Kaede laughed quite randomly at this, making Sasuke look at her strangely. Kaede pointed at Chiharu, and through the undergrowth Sasuke saw Chiharu making the motions and smirked. Sakura saw, and being Sakura, she waved and smiled at Sasuke. Sasuke rolled his eyes at her and returned his focus to the mission.
Kaede smirked at him. Her feelings towards Sakura were revealed in that instant, and caused Sasuke to actually… smile… which Kaede had never seen before. It made her smile wide, and Sasuke chuckled.
It was late afternoon when the two groups stopped. They had made camp about a half mile apart. Kaede was relaxed now, used to being by Sasuke. Well, at least as much as she'll ever be.
Kaede pulled out an instant ramen cup and heated it using the fire Sasuke had built. He had lit it with his fireball jutsu, causing Kaede to stare in awe. Sasuke smirked.
"Ramen, hm?"
"Hai! It's Oishii!" Kaede loves ramen so.
Sasuke smirked at Kaede. This caused her to choke on her delicious ramen. Sasuke had to do the CPR on her because she passed out. However, Kaede woke up in the middle of it, and they wound up making out.
Of course, this was right when Sakura came up to camp, worried about Sasuke not returning her texts. That is when everything spun way out of control.
Author note: I know, you must hate the short chapters, but I've been warning you!
Naruto: Will I be mentioned? You mentioned ramen!
Ana-chan: No... actually, yeah, once. I think it's next chapter!
Naruto: Yeah!
Ana-chan: -mumbles to self- It's not really a big part...
Naruto: What?
