Chapter 3 Naruto & Sakura

A little ray of light got through the curtains shinning into a face that would rather stay asleep, to never awake from her best dream ever. The light became brighter as the birds began to sing. "No not yet." She refused to open her eyes. She wanted to stay in bed forever, forever with the sweetest words her crush had spoken to her. "I said you look beautiful." What if she got out of bed and realize it was all a dream, that she didn't fell asleep on her bed after a party that was so boring but in the end the party of her life. What if he never spoke those words outside her little fantasy or ignored the fact he spoke them. After all those plays she wrote, burned into her scull, would she really act like them, or would he like she predicted. Would he come to her, give her a hug, maybe a kiss? No that is not like him; a smile after greeting him would be enough, for now.

Good morning Konoha, and what a lovely day it is. I hope everyone enjoyed the party like I did. And as far as I've seen some new couples have been formed. The radio speaker said with a naughty voice. Sakura could almost see the grin he must have had on his face when thinking to say something so personal. Strangely she felt like she was caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Did anyone saw her and Sasuke? Was the radio talker talking about them? Slowly getting up she opened she curtains that closed her room from the most beautiful day in this time of the year.

Walking to the mirror in the bathroom she suddenly became nervous. What if anyone knew about last night? Some months ago she still dreamed about this, crushing Ino's dream in a million pieces. But now it happened and it made her sick. What if he hasn't meant a single word? What if he had been drinking too much and has no idea what he said to her last night? Or someone pulled a stupid prank on her just like Naruto did the first day they became team seven. It was al so different that the usual words he spoke to her, there where suddenly so many emotions she never heard from him. And to tell you the truth she even liked him more after seeing his vulnerable self. Maybe he hide his try self to get away from the fan girls Konoha accommodate. It was like the entire girl population fell for the dark mysterious Uchiha prodigy including herself.

On the other side of town people where getting up, ready to go to their jobs. Full of energy, ready to start a new day with a smile. But there was one, living in a big mansion that didn't smiled. His brows frowned in a deep frown. Rethinking, blaming himself for the events of last night. He was so caught up in his personal roller coaster he almost forgot to eat the breakfast he made. The radio, that was programmed start talking. And as far as I've seen some new couples have been formed. You all know whom I am talking about. The talker grinned through the boxes. Sasuke shot his head up. Was that man talking about him and Sakura? Did saying those things mean your become a couple? Remembering the events, the stars that took him somewhere else, that made him forget he was the Uchiha heir, their last hope for revenge, those stars that crumbled down his well build walls around him, which caused him a good deal of problems to worry about. Why did he even said those things? What kind of jutsu put she on him? "Damn." He pulled his finger away from the kunai he was playing with. The little cut was already disinfecting itself; a little drop of blood fell on the sink. This wasn't his day. "Look what that damn girl made me do, she could get me killed." He whispered into nothing.

Making his way upstairs to dress himself for training, where he wasn't so enthusiastic about after last night events, he glanced in the full body mirror. His messy hair falling over his forehead, his good muscled body. His chest rising with every breath he took. How soft hands of a pink Kunoichi would match his pale skin colour while embracing his chest. Wait what was he thinking. Revenge that was his primary goal, the rest needed to wait, right? Entering one of the many rooms he dressed and put some extra kunai's in his pouch. The one sparring him today would wish death to come soon.

"Agh, I look like hell and he is so handsome. He can't love me. That would be me AND my big forehead." She looked at herself, little tears run down her cheek. After all Ino-pig did imprinted the though she had a big forehead and now she was stuck in that lie believing she really had. Opening the tap she undressed and took another look in the mirror. Her fragile body was only halfway puberty and she stopped believing she would ever get passed it. Hearing the boiler she snapped out of it and took a long hot shower.

After 30 minutes she walked into the kitchen, her hair warped in a towel and her body covered with her red bathrobe decorated with golden string getting together in a beautiful bird on her back. How she wished to fly, to get away from all this. To be free to go and stand whereever you desired. Opening the fridge she found nothing. Surprised she closed the door and looked for some little note. After lifting the bowl, which was usually filled with fruit, she found the note she already suspected to find.

Good morning Sakura,

We know we're out of food. We need it for our mission. We're sorry. Here is some money so you can buy something. We'll be back soon.

Love

"No they didn't" looking eyes widened at the paper. Resting her head on in her hand she mumbled al sorts of things that are better not to mention. Finally after regaining control she threw the note in the trashcan. "They forgot nothing is open today because of the party last night." Looking at the trashcan she sighed deeply. "Well, no breakfast for you girl." She spoke to herself. The little habit of her made her smile. It was so much better then not talking at all. Their house looked so empty when her parents where out on a mission. She knew Sasuke loved the silence but as most of the people and so did she figured out they weren't exactly two of a kind. More like the opposite, but nonetheless she still loved that mystery.

After some time of mindless thoughts she got up, took a last glance in the mirror before closing the door behind her. Today was sparring day like every other Thursday. Sighing she for once wished she wouldn't be teamed up with Sasuke. She couldn't even think about him without the red tint on her cheeks, then how in heavens name would she survive a whole morning fighting him?

There he was, leaning on the rail of the bridge. His hair dancing on the wind like she never seen him dance himself. Not last night, never. On her way to the bridge, which was labelled as their meeting point, she heard various talks about Sasuke dancing with some girls. But she, his teammate has never seen him dance and the odds were too small to even consider she would ever. Following his intense stare she found herself looking into the water. Smoothly passing by under the bridge to reappear on the other side, making his way to the ocean both never seen. How she wished to go there with him, to lie side by side. Enjoying the calm sounds of the waves mixed with the birds and happy laughter's of children making a sand castle that would soon be washed away by the sea. Just like her little fantasy, washed away, like nothing happened. He didn't greet her, she herself also forgot.

Both where snapped out of their trance when their loud-mouthed teammate entered their personal space both created. Sakura acting like any other day, to caught up to act anything different giving no hits something happened between the two of them. But to her surprise Sasuke acted different then his usual self. Instead of ignoring Naruto he nodded in agreement to his greet. Naruto that was proud of himself noticing this leaned next to Sasuke on the railing.

"So Sasuke, did you have a good time on the party? Hooked up with any girl?" He grinned knowing the answer but unknowing where the courage came from to ask.

"Shut up dobe." He answered with angry flaming eyes. The killing atmosphere that drowned him frightened Naruto. But the feeling stopped when Sakura jumped between them. Shacking his head he figured Sasuke used a genjutsu on him. Sakura, being a user of them knew exactly how to stop this one, and did by jumping between.

"Damn, I just asked. What's wrong with you today?" Naruto yelled looking angry at his teammate that turned his back to both Sakura and him. "Why can't you just be normal? Stop acting like you better then us." He was so happy this morning, the party still in his head, and then that girl. Damn how he would love to trade team members.

"Just stop it you two." Sakura pleaded, her eyes focussed on the floor and like she predicted her cheeks a tint redder then normally. Naruto started at the changed attitude his female member behaved like. Sasuke also took notice but let it go unnoticed by the others.

After the three of them parted, giving each other back their personal space a puff of smoke made their sensei appear. Grinning with the black mask covering more then half of his face he noticed the different placing of his students. Normally it would be Sasuke leaning against the railing followed by Sakura sitting as close as he lets her then Naruto leaning against a tree inspecting some walkers emotions they gave him as the vessel of a demon. Now to his surprise it was Sakura that was sitting against a tree looking mindless into thin air, Naruto not more then two paces away from her, letting him closer then she normally would, but instead of looking at her like a obsessed lover he was weeding the grass next to him. And a bigger distant like normally was Sasuke leaning against the railing doing nothing. Okay so one of his students was acting normal, right?

"Tired? A man at night is also a man in the morning" Kakashi said although he to had trouble getting out of bed after only 3 hours of sleep. No one reacted, each of his students looked at the ground. "Okay, well let's do some work outs." He told them and walked passed them noticing and memorizing everyone's behaviour. No one spoke; they just got up and followed him like brainless sheep's. Naruto next to Sakura and Sasuke far in the back, but still everyone but Kakashi looked like they were in a trance.

Damn Sakura was hungry. Hoping and pleading the gods for some light training her stomach reminded her of her appetite. Making the most embarrassing sounds she pressed on it hopping the action would stop the noises.

Sasuke looked up from his 'interesting' footprint collecting his eyes where seeing. Wondering what the sound was he saw Sakura walking in front of him. Looking over at her long muscled legs he was sure he felt a sensation through his body. Those long legs would fit perfectly around his waist while… dirty, dirty mind. A cold shower cooling down their hot bodies, lips pressed on the places her dress covered. Dirty, wrong, no possibility. Shacking to clear his head he hoped Kakashi didn't had a jutsu to sneak into people's mind or else he was doomed.

Kakashi stopped at their training ground deep in the woods that surrounded Konoha. "Well let's get started. Today will be a hard training give it your best because it's also a little test."

Sakura could cry the gods had abandoned her. He body feeling weak from the lack of food would be tested by the copy ninja. So this was the real reason everyone was forced to go to the party last night. It was a preparation for the test of today. He was evil, she knew it all along but this proved it. But on the other hand he was right, a ninja should be fit every second of his life a enemy wouldn't feel pity for you just because you partied all night long. It made some sense but still, why today?

Kakashi looked at his students, no argue started no screams they are dying, nothing just a silence wind blowing the hairs in front of this students faces. Wondering what's wrong with them he makes up a training test that would make them talk. After some time his lazy brains came up with something. "Today I won't train you. You'll train each other. That means two of you will learn each other tricks and skills and I'll learn the other some new things. You'll train with your partner the entire morning. And in the afternoon we'll exchange partners. Use the whole area and teach each other new things because in the evening I'll pick new teams and we'll fight each other and the losers will have to treat the winners Ramen.

Hearing his favourite word Naruto finally leaves his mind for what it is and starts jumping. "Ramen! My team will win. Sensei let's start." Naruto said overjoyed and in al irritation of the other two members.

Wondering about the teams he has to be careful. His little scenario matched Sasuke with Sakura but seeing this weird behaviour he mind concluded his was better not to. "Okay, lets see Sakura I think you can learn Naruto something about chakra control and Naruto you can learn her some new skills." What a stupid reason, Naruto can't learn Sakura anything he always uses his demon.

Both Naruto and Sakura looked up in surprise. Looking right into each other's eyes. Naruto smiled "I'll teach you everything I know, Sakura." Giving her the cool guy pose he stole from Lee Naruto guided Sakura to his favourite training spot.

Sasuke could fry Naruto's back. His was so open about everything, doesn't he knows it makes him vulnerable? Did Sakura really believe she could learn something from that dobe? He could teach her everything. How she needed to defend, how to disparage people, how to be a good lov- Damn his hormones were active today. Glancing at Kakashi he cursed under his breath. If he and Sakura would be alone right now he would, he would-. Being interfered by his sensei he mind tried to focus on the words.

"So Sasuke, it looks like your stuck with me." He said with a smile that soon fades away like the sand castle the children build on the beach. Wondering what he did wrong this time with the prodigy wasn't his primary goal to kill his brother, this way he could teach him some skill Naruto and Sakura would never control but he had fait in the prodigy and this displeased student took all his self control to stay nice.

He needed to stay alive, so the play was written and so the ignorant main characters will play it.
