Disclaimer: Naruto is not mine. If Naruto was mine, Sasuke wouldn't run off with that stupid pedophile and Kabuto would totally kick ass. Unfortunately, Sasuke has run off with a stupid pedophile to the Emo farm and Kabuto… does kick ass but that's not the point! The point is that I do not own Naruto! –blinks- Wow that was a long disclaimer…
Pom-Pom: ¡Hola Minna-san!

Pom-Pom: …You don't have to be so blunt you know…
FlamedraSeer7213: It's my job. Deal with it.

-----------------------
Sakura nodded slowly. Sasuke sat down with a plop on the floor. "Kuroi Ai Inn… Black Love Inn… saa?" "Ha-Hai Uchiha…" They both sat in silence for about five minutes, letting this information soak into their confused minds. Sasuke exploded. "WHAT THE FUCK IS TSUNADE DOING, RENTING A ROOM IN A FUCKING LOVE HOTEL IN THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING SUNAGAKURE!?" Sakura blinked. "I-I really don't know…" "DO YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING!? WE'RE GOING TO SUNAGAKURE! THE KAZEKAGE, GAARA IS THERE! TEMARI IS THERE! AND LAST TIME I HEARD, HYUUGA AND TENTEN ARE THERE ON VACATION!" Sakura looked at him in confusion.
"Neji and Tenten take vacations together?" Sasuke shrugged. "I dunno, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT! THE POINT IS PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW WILL BE THERE!" Sakura stared blankly at him. "And your point is…?" "THEY WILL THINK WE ARE DATING! OR MAYBE EVEN MARRIED! I'M NOT EVEN EIGHTEEN YET!" "…and we might have to share another bed…" The color drained out of both of their faces. "The same bed!?" Sakura screeched. "SONNA!" Sasuke whined (well he was in a state of panic, so it doesn't really count but still) grabbing the scroll and read it over and over again, hoping that this was some kind of sick joke.
Unfortunately, this was no sick joke. Fortunately, Sasuke found a note that Sakura had not read, and thus read it out loud.
"Oh I forgot to add, Sasuke, Sakura, since you are on a mission and going to a love hotel, you will be acting as a newly married couple or that you guys are dating or something. No wait scratch that. Sasuke! You're going to pretend that you're in love with Sakura and you're going to proclaim your love for Sakura in front of the hotel in front of EVERYONE! And I'll have a room for you guys, but it'll seem like you had this all planned out! Sakura! You are also going to be in love with Sasuke and be very happy when he proclaims his love! OMG I'M A FREAKING GENIUS! Practice your young love my little ones! PRACTICE YOUR YOUNG LOVE!! Oh and Sasuke, don't get overly glomped or I'll set a funeral for when you get back from Sunagakure. Okay Good Luck! OXOXOXO! LOVE YA LOTS!"
"What the-!? THIS IS AN EVEN SICKER JOKE!!" Sakura grabbed the scroll from him. "Practice our young love!? There is hardly any love in this arraignment!" She declared out loud. Sasuke remained silent, agreeing with her. She hesitated, "…right?" He remained silent still, quite obviously arguing with himself.
No, there is no… love in this mission.
Keh, you're just saying that.
I most certainly am NOT.
Shut up, you're denying your own feelings!
And how would you know that?
I am your Inner self. I am you and you are me.
Hn, you wish.
You're just so used to feeling three emotions.
Oh? What are those three emotions?
Annoyance, Hate, and Loneliness, you freaking ice block! Never felt LOVE.
I too have felt love!
Is that so? Then what is love, my liege?
… …
HA! Can't think of an answer now, can you!?
You shut up!
Haha! Nope!
…You bastard…
You can't call yourself a bastard, Uchiha-san.
-ignoring- How the hell are we going to pull this off?
Why don't you just… propose to Sakura in front of the hotel? You know, act all lovey on her, kissing her, hugging her, you know doing the stuff that you normally wouldn't do because you're an ice block.
… … …
When you guys are done and reach the hotel, tell her you had a good time with her and kiss her in front of everyone. Then pull out the box with the coveted wedding ring, kneel, and say, "Sakura, will you marry me?"
Where the hell did you get this from, some romance book!?
Nope, only the ideas in my wee little head!
…You're weird…
"Sasuke. How-how are we going to pull this off…?" Sakura asked, hoping the Uchiha had some sort of a plan in his head. Sasuke thought about this for a while. "Very simple… Sakura, we will practice."
Silence…
"How are we supposed to practice love!?" Sakura spat out. "Sakura…" Sasuke hesitated and continued, "Do you still love me?" She turned a shade of deep red. "Umm… well I… uhh…" She twiddled with her thumbs, refusing to look at him. "Come on Sakura, it's a simple question, just answer it!" He said, getting annoyed. She narrowed her eyebrows. "It's not that easy to say you freaking idiot! You would never know because you can't feel anything but annoyance, hate, and loneliness! Do you have any idea how much pain you put me through the past five years!?" Sasuke was speechless. "Now would you please let me think? Matters of the heart are hard to sort out Sasuke…" She sighed and rubbed her temples.
Sasuke nodded and laid down the bed, trying to sort out his own thoughts too.
What will she say? Yes or no? Whenever I mention the fact that she could say no, I get this sinking feeling in my chest. What is this feeling?
Hehe… it's called fear of rejection my liege.
What the hell do you want now? I'm trying to think here and you're not helping with the situation.
You're trying to sort out your feelings. You don't have many so this is where I come in and help!
…more like come in and bother me…
Well it could be that too. Depends on how you look at it huh?
Could you just… restrain yourself from making comments, coming into my head, and disrupting my thinking process for a while please?
I'll see what I can do.
That's not very reassuring…
… Just… WHATEVER! Do you thinking thing!
…
…
DAMMIT! NOW BECAUSE YOU HAD TO DISRUPT MY THINKING CYCLE I CAN'T FUCKING CONCENTRATE!!
…Whoa… dude… just calm down…
FUCK YOU!
…
"Wow you make a lot of funny faces Minor-Boy." Sakura commented. Sasuke flushed in anger. "CAN'T YOU CALL ME SOMETHING ELSE!?" She shook her head and smiled. "Even if I call you something else, you're still my precious little Minor-Boy, Minor-Boy!" Sasuke just blushed for no apparent reason and was not sure himself that he was blushing. Sakura gave him a cheeky smile. "Aww look you're blushing! You like the nickname!" "WHA-!? NO I'M NOT!" She poked his cheeks. "What is this patch of red spreading around your face then?" Sasuke narrowed her eyebrows. "It-It's a… a… RASH! Yeah a rash!" She took a step away from him and laughed.
He looked at her quizzically. "You're so stupid sometimes Sasuke." Sasuke glared at her indignantly. "You label yourself as an avenger, someone who doesn't have a heart, but yet you still care. So I still care." He breathed a sigh of relief. "For a minute there, I thought she was going to say something else." Sakura tilted her head. "You look relieved at something, what's up?" He looked at her flatly. "The sky." She shook her head again. "No, the sky isn't up here, the ceiling is." "…YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ALREADY!"
"So you do?" Yeah, I guess I do Sasuke." There was a lapse of silence. "Do we have to work undercover on this mission?" Sakura shrugged. "I don't know." He sighed, frustrated at this lack of extremely VITAL (AN: to him) information. "You know what? Forget it. We'll just go as ourselves… except for one thing." Sakura walked over to Sasuke and held out her hand. "Give me your Hitai-ate." Sasuke looked at her with confusion, but untied his Hitai-ate and handed it to her nonetheless. Sakura untied her own Hitai-ate and placed both of them into a pouch in her bag, taking out a pink headband and a brightly weaved rectangular cloth that was about thirty inches in length.
She slipped on the headband and threw the cloth at Sasuke, who caught it. "What am I supposed to-?" "Put it on Minor-Boy." He shot her an annoyed glance, but tied on the cloth, replacing his Hitai-ate. She beamed at him. "You look nice Sasuke-kun!" He looked remotely surprised. "What the heck are you doing, calling me Sasuke-kun again?" Sakura stopped beamed and frowned at him. "We're practicing aren't we?" "Oh… right… yeah, okay."
Hehehehe… You can confess your love to Sakura here and she will think you're practicing! This is just GREAT!!
No it's not! It's annoying, embarrassing, and-
UCHIHA. CONFESS.
I absolutely refuse to.
If you say it like that, you actually like Sakura!
… I do not.
Fine you big chicken, if you're not going to do it, then I AM.
WHAT!? You can't do that! You can't take control of MY body without MY permission first! That's a violation of privacy!
Oh yeah? Just WATCH ME!
Sasuke's body suddenly stiffened and his eyes widened for a minute before he slumped down. "Sasuke-kun? Are you alright…?" 'Sasuke' raised his head a little bit and smirked at himself. "See? I told you that I can. Now you can't do anything about it. Just sit back and watch Inner Sasuke." "Damn you, you freaking bastard!" He sat up straight and looked into Sakura's eyes. "I'm fine now Sakura. Now, let's practice." She smiled. "I'm glad to see that you're okay Sasuke-kun! Okay let's see what you have in mind then."
'Sasuke' smirked and leaned forward, taking both of Sakura's hands into his. Sasuke… er Inner Sasuke was in full panic mode.
No! DON'T DO THIS! It-It would be all fake!
"Sakura…"
A trick! A sham! A lie!
"I…"
Didn't you tell me something before?
"Have something…"
That Sakura…
"To tell you…"
…Deserves something better than a lie.
"It's that…"
If you really meant that, then don't do this!
"I…"
Because this is a lie!
'Sasuke' smirked. "Heh… you finally got the guts to do something about it huh? Fine, fine, very well…" Once again, Sasuke slumped over and Sakura looked at him quizzically, noting his firm grip on his hands loosening. "Sasuke-kun? What's the matter now?" Sasuke opened his eyes a little bit. "Sakura?" She nodded. "Yeah I'm here." He stood up. "Let's go… I have a feeling that we won't need any practice to wing this." She nodded and picked up her bag, slinging it over her shoulder and jumping out the window after Sasuke.
"HEY! DON'T RUN AWAY WITH THE HOTEL ROOM KEY! AND- WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO MY HOTEL ROOM!? WHERE'S THE BATHROOM DOOR!? WHY IS THE WINDOW BROKEN!? WHY YOU-! COME BACK HERE! I'M GOING TO SUE YOUR FREAKING ASSES OFF!!"
--About Five Hours Later--
"Okay, so…" Sasuke surveyed the surroundings. "WHERE ARE WE!?" Sakura let out a gasp. "Sasuke-kun?" He snapped his head towards her. "What?"
"Don't panic."
"Okay."
"No matter how hopeless the situation is don't panic."
"Sure."
"The key is to stay calm."
"Yeah."
"Breaking down is not going to help."
"Sakura, why don't you just tell me the damn problem already?"
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Completely certain?"
"Yes."
"Absolutely positive?"
"Dammit Sakura what's the freaking problem!?"
"…I lost the map."
Sasuke stared incredulously at her, trying to form words in his mouth. "You map lost Wha-WHAT!?" Sakura replied meekly. "I lost the map…" He gawked at her. "Was that the only map we had!?" She nodded slowly. "YOU LOST THE ONLY MAP!?" She held up her hands in defense. "Did we say something about staying calm a few minutes ago Sasuke-kun…?" He turned to her in complete anger, the red Sharingan in his eyes spinning dangerously. "DON'T 'SASUKE-KUN' ME! AND SCREW STAYING CALM! YOU LOST THE FREAKING MAP!! WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND YOU LOST THE MAP! THE ONLY WAY OF GETTING OUT OF HERE!"
"Are we lost young ones?" Both of them turned around to see an elderly man, a wrinkled smile on his face. "And who might you be?" Sasuke asked, as alert as always. "I'm Tsukahara Koteshi. From the fact that you children don't have on a Hitai-ate, I'm going to assume you're not from around here?" Sakura nodded. "Ojii-san, do you know where we happen to be?" Koteshi chuckled. "If you don't know about this country, then you must be from far away. Just look at the sign." Both Sasuke and Sakura snapped their gaze to the wooden sign.
Sasuke stared completely dumbfounded at the sign. Sakura turned to Koteshi. "Arigatou Ojii-san, have a nice day." Koteshi closed his eyes and smiled, turning around and continued his walk. "Sonna!" Sasuke managed to spit out after a few minutes. "Ko-Ko-Ko-KONAHA!? WE'RE BACK WHERE WE STARTED!!" Indeed the sign read, "Konohagakure Village, two miles north from here. Welcome to the Fire Country!" with an arrow pointing west. (AN: And you notice the arrow's pointing the WRONG way.)
Sakura sat down on a rock, thinking. "Sasuke-kun, Sunagakure is west from here and would take about two days to get to on foot. If we went fast and didn't take breaks, we would be able to get there in about… five hours." When Sasuke didn't reply, she glanced at him. He was sitting down, his head down, in the angst/emo corner. "Four days… complete… WASTED!!" He practically wailed. "Umm… come one Sasuke-kun! Sunagakure is only… five hours from here!" Sasuke raised his head and glared at Sakura. This wasn't any glare, this was THE Glare. The glare that all glares could only wish to be glare. Sakura froze and quickly shut up.
"Sakura…" The said person yipped and stared wide-eyed at Sasuke. "Ye-Yes Sa-Sasuke-kun?" He stood up abruptly, scaring the complete crap out of her. "Sakura…" He repeated. "Do you have any idea what I could do in FOUR days!?" She shook her head rapidly.
Sasuke quickly grabbed her collar and slammed her against a nearby tree, their faces now level. "I could have been training. I could have been eating. I could have been sleeping. I could have been actually RELAXING!" He hissed into her face. She nodded, petrified. "But now look at where I am. Am I training? Am I eating? Am I sleeping? Am I even remotely relaxing? No! I am standing two miles south from where I left from FOUR days ago! I am on my way to some LOVE HOTEL in the middle of Sunagakure!!" He sighed and set her down on a rock, seating himself next to her.
"Sasuke-kun? You want to get moving again?" Sakura asked after five minutes, recovering. Sasuke nodded mutely and stood up. Sakura was about to stand up as well, when a hand was lowered next to her. "Sasuke-kun?" He looked away. "This doesn't count as anything; just take it as an apology or something." Her eyes sparkled. "Sasuke-kun…" His face seemed to lightly blush, his eyes widened a bit. "Whatever…" He mumbled, turning to the side. She smiled and grabbed his hand. Sasuke suddenly got a glint in his eye.
He roughly pulled her up, throwing her on his back. "What the-!? Sasuke-kun, PUT ME DOWN!" The said person just grunted and leapt into the trees. Sakura started getting angry and smacked Sasuke upside his head. "What's a grunt to me Minor-Boy!? PUT. ME. DOWN." He rubbed his head, mumbled something and still kept on moving. "What was that? I can't hear you!" Sakura moved her head to the side, narrowly avoiding a tree branch. "Sakura, I said NO." Sakura's left eye twitched madly. "Well why did you say no usokadontachi (idiot) !?" Sasuke stopped moving abruptly, one foot out ready to land on the next branch and pondered about this matter.
…All the time slowly turning downward. "HURRY UP AND RESPOND!" Sakura screamed in his ear. "Practice." He finally responded, starting to leap through the trees again. She nearly snorted at his response. "Practice huh? Practice for what?" She could just feel him give that stupid smirk of his! Stupid Uchiha Sasuke Smirk™!
"Practice for the big event at Suna." He retorted slyly, a village coming into view. (AN: No, not Sunagakure!) There was a sign above the village entrance, reading "Welcome Travelers to Hyuuga." (AN: Yes actually there is a town in Japan called Hyuuga.) Sakura was baffled at his response. The Uchiha hadn't done anything remotely perverted to her… in anyway! She pondered over this fact until they got to the village entrance.
As Sasuke let her off, he gave her butt a quick squeeze, winking and running off at her utterly horrified expression.
That might have explained why Sakura was now running after a snickering Sasuke, her face completely tomato red and screaming out all kinds of threats and obscenities after him. "YOU FREAKING DISGUSTING SLIMEBALL! I'M GOING TO FUCKING STAB OPEN YOUR FUCKING BALLS! AFTER I'M THROUGH WITH YOU, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN, YOU FUCKING HENTAI!!"
After Sasuke had escaped from Sakura, he realized he could have a complete ball with the current situations.
Hehehehe… I can do anything perverted and get away with it, claiming its practice!
I never knew you were such a pervert…
I guess you could say having a perverted sensei and teammate rubs off on you.
Hm, that would make much sense.
Of course it would. I'm Uchiha Sasuke, I always make sense.
You say that but… it's not true…
What the hell do you mean!?
I have a list.
-twitching- A-a LIST!?
Yup!
How-how long have you been here…!?
Seventeen years and still counting baby!
WHAT THE FUCK INNER SASUKE!?
I've been here ever since you were a nanosecond old, my liege.
…Why didn't you come before then?
I went to get some food.
FOR SIXTEEN FREAKING YEARS!?
Yup!
…You're crazy…
Ahpup, that's where you're wrong.
…Ahpup…?
Yup, that's my name!
Ahpup… is your name…?
Uh-huh!
o.O
It's a nice and easy name to remember huh?
…Ah…pup…
Yes?
Your name is… Ah… pup…
Hai Sasuke-sama!
Ahpup as in "a pup"?
Mm-hm!
-thud-
Ah Sasuke-sama…!?
Sasuke continued walking around town, shaking his head once every ten minutes. "Inner Sasuke's name is… AHPUP!?" He gave his head a particularly hard shake. "No way! That's just complete bullshit!"
"Sasuke-sama, I can assure you that my name is indeed Ahpup and that this is not 'complete bullshit'."
"Forget this!" Sasuke started heading for the hotel room, having convinced Sakura to get a one bed room for his so called 'practice'. A perverted smirk rose onto his face.
--The Hotel Room--
There was the sound of a shower, Sakura being the one taking the actual shower itself. She was scrubbing furiously at her skin, the poor defenseless skin only able to turn an angry red color. "Stupid freaking Sasuke! Stupid mission! Stupid Tsunade-shisou!" She mentally screamed in her head, bringing up her soaped towel to scrub her raw skin again, when a hand caught it. Confused, Sakura did a quick hand count.
1… 2… 3!?
Sasuke leaned in, breathing in her ear and whispered. "You shouldn't do that to your skin Sakura…" The said person quickly twirled around, soon regretting her rash decision.
UCHIHA. SASUKE. WAS. COMPLETELY. NAKED.
…not to mention drooling also.
Sakura let out a loud horrified shriek, throwing back her arm and slugging Sasuke straight in the face. "YOU PERVERT!!"
Sasuke crashed straight through the ceiling, the roofing and piping, flying into the sky. A small ping was heard as he disappeared from Sakura's vision. "IT WAS PRACTICCCEEE!"
--In Konoha--
Shikamaru and Naruto stared wide eyed at the huge flurry of wood planks, roofing, plaster, and water with one figure flying at the speed of zephyr through it, screaming at the top of his lungs, in the distance.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"
"Wh-What the hell was that dattebayo!?" Naruto screamed, looking completely terrified.
Shikamaru squinted at the figure, trying to see if it was somebody he knew. "Is that… SASUKE!?"
Naruto also squinted. "It's SASUKE-TEME!?"
Shikamaru shrugged, "I don't know, but shouldn't Sasuke be on a mission somewhere in Sunagakure?"
Naruto nodded, looking a bit reassured. "Yeah the teme wouldn't be anywhere close to Konoha… right Shikamaru dattebayo?"
Shikamaru sighed and said his signature line. "Tch… Mendokuse…"
--Back In Hyuuga--
Sakura was out in the street, looking for the sole Uchiha. Heck maybe she completely hated his guts now, but he was still her partner. She was about to make a turn into an alley when someone holding two garbage can covers ran past her. "Sasuke-kun!?" The person stopped running and turned around. "Sakura!?"
Completely freaked out by the fact that Uchiha Sasuke was running around with two metal garbage can covers as protection, she did the only logical thing she could think of now.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!" Screamed Sakura.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!" Screamed Sasuke.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!"
This screaming match lasted for thirty minutes.
"Aaaa… aaaa… aahh…!!" Sakura croaked out, her throat dry and sore from the screaming on the top of her lungs for the last thirty minutes.
"Aaaa… aaaa… oww…" Sasuke dropped one of the garbage cans and was now rubbing his throat area with his left hand… which happened to be the one covering his Uchiha coughJEWELScough.
Sakura stared at him with a terrified expression, staring downward. Sasuke, confused followed her view down, finally reaching where her eyes were looking.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" Both of screamed in horror, sore throats forgotten.
--Back In The Hotel Room--
"Look Sasuke-kun, I'm really sorry about-!" "You punched me in the face, sent me flying through the roof WHICH I HAD TO FIX flying into the sky, over 1,000,000 miles away from the earth I came crashing down into some strip club, also breaking their roof WHICH I ALSO HAD TO FIX ran out of there screaming for my very life forcing me to use a garbage can cover for protection and saw my balls!!" Sasuke screamed out in one breath, panting from oxygen loss after he was done. "Umm… I'm sorry?"
Sasuke glared at her with furious eyes. "I'm sorry!?" He repeated. "I'M SORRY!? I had to fix TWO roofs, I ran around halfway across town with nothing but two garbage can lids as cover, YOU punched me and all I get is a measly I'm sorry!?" Sakura gave a weak chuckle.
And Sasuke made it his own decision to practice all night long. First up… feeding her.
Operation: Feeding/Eating
--Trial One--
"Sasuke-kun! I can feed myself dammit!" Sakura tried to dodge the forkfuls of miso ramen that Sasuke attempted to feed to her. "Sakura." He growled. "You. Will. Eat. The. Ramen." "No! I refuse to eat the MMMGGH!" Sasuke had taken this opportunity to stuff the forkful of ramen into her mouth. "Now Sakura… chew… and swallow." He added the last part hastily, as if she forgot it. "I fate fuu… fuu vacuum!" Sasuke smirked and crossed his arms. "I'm sorry, but I'm not a vacuum."
She glared at him with something at rivaled the famous Uchiha Death Glare©. "Why the heck are you doing this!?" "It's called practice my dear." Sakura shook her head. "Sasuke-kun, this is not the kind of affectionate behavior that someone who cares about someone else would give." "Suck it up bub." She sighed. "No Sasuke-kun, you must treat the person of your… affection specially."
Sasuke stuck this thought in his head and nodded. "Got it, lets try again."
--Trial Two--
"Fight me." Sakura blinked at him. "What?" He narrowed his eyes at her. "I said fight me." Sakura dropped her head. "Sasuke-kun… this is called eating, not fighting…" Sasuke's face was the image of confusion. "You said to treat the person specially… that's what I'm doing. I don't ask just anybody to fight with me." "Sasuke-kun, lets just pretend that the whole ninja thing doesn't exist. Treat the person with care."
Sasuke pondered on this thought for a while, nodding and saying, "Okay."
--Trial Three--
Sasuke raised the fork up to Sakura's mouth, watching the noodles enter her mouth. She smiled and took the fork from him, saying that she could feed herself now. "You sure?" He asked, playing his role. She nodded. Sasuke smiled. (AMN: Yes as in an affectionate smile… OMG THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!!) "Okay then, tell me if you need anything okay?"
"Yatta!" Sakura exclaimed, punching the air with her fist. "You got it Sasuke-kun! You really got it!" Sasuke allowed a small satisfied smirk, before getting determined. "Alright, I will get this thing down perfectly. The mission must be a big success." She nodded and announced the next operation. "Appearance."
Operation: Appearance
--Trial One--
Sakura cleared out everything in the hotel room, moving all the furniture to the left side, leading them with plenty of space. "Okay Sasuke-kun, the part of this is to look like we're a couple or something." She walked next to him. "Give me your best shot. I'll say begin."
"Begin." Sasuke grabbed her forearm and pulled her roughly down the length of the room, walking briskly and swiftly. Sakura had to practically speed walk to keep up with him.
"Sasuke-kun?" He turned eagerly towards her, noticing her panting for air. "You… SUCK!" Sasuke frowned. "But Sakura, you did not give me specific instructions on how I should execute this operation." Sakura sweat dropped. "Translate that into English please…" He huffed. "You didn't tell me what to do."
"Well, for one thing, not everyone has super speed like you Sasuke-kun. Please walk at a reasonable pace at least!" Sasuke nodded, "Lets try again then."
--Trial Two--
"Begin."
Sasuke still grabbed her forearm roughly and pulled her own the length of the room, but it was more of a normal person's pace. Sakura winced at the fact that Sasuke was literally crushing her forearm with the amount of pressure he was applying. "At least we solved one problem…" She thought, wincing again when he seemed to squeeze her forearm even tighter.
"Uchiha Sasuke…" Sakura muttered angrily, rubbing her forearm. "I AM NOT A FREAKING STRESS BALL!!" Sasuke looked sheepish. "Umm… sorry?" She smacked her forehead and dragged her hand down her face in a disgruntled sort of way. "Sasuke-kun, do you know what 'affection' means!?" Immediately, Sasuke pulled out the dictionary meaning of affection from his mind. "Affection; Noun. One, fond attachment, devotion or love. Two, feeling or emotion of love. Three, a tender feeling toward another; fondness. Four-OW! Why'd you hit me Sakura!?"
Sakura pulled back her fist and snarled at Sasuke. "YOU'RE THE BIGGEST IDIOT IN THE WORLD! I DIDN'T ASK FOR A DICTIONARY MEANING OF AFFECTION! I ASKED FOR YOUR DEFINITION OF AFFECTION!" Sasuke blinked. "My definition…?" "YES! YOUR DEFINITION!" The Uchiha pondered over this thought, chewing his bottom lip.
"Affection had nothing to do with the avengence (AN: That's not even a word…) of the death of my clan. Period." Sakura slugged him again and Sasuke went flying through the sky for the second time today.
--Trial Three--
"Now that you thoroughly understand what the word affection means, DO THIS RIGHT YOU IDIOT!" Sasuke nodded, putting down the ice pack that he had just applied to his injured cheek. "Ha-Hai Sakura…" She glared at him with the power of a million suns. "What did you say!?" He sweat dropped, "Umm, I mean Sakura-chan."
"Begin." Sasuke took her hand with his thumb and index finger, holding her gingerly and started walking down the length of the room. Every time Sakura accidentally touch him, he flinched away like he got a burn. Sasuke also practically looked scared to touch her, as if she would shatter like glass if he did. He walked at a slow pace and checked every once in a while to see if Sakura was still there.
"Sasuke-kun, am I germ?" Sakura asked after the practice, sighing. "No, you are Sakura-chan, a person." He replied automatically. "Then would you please treat me like a person!? You were holding my hand like I had rabies or something!" "…So I'm not supposed to do that?" Sakura pulled out a metal fan out of nowhere and backhanded Sasuke across the face, him falling on the floor. "And people said that you were a prodigy!"
Sasuke got up, rubbing his cheek. "That stings Sakura-chan…" She glared at him and sighed again. "Oh… this is going to take a while…"
