Flowers

A KibaSaku Oneshot

Written by eifi

"Those are peach blossoms. Not cherry blossoms." She stated dully, staring at the potted plant the bandaged brown haired shinobi had just forced her to receive. She was used to bouquets of flowers as thanks from her patients but, a... potted plant? This was certainly new.

She had just been ambushed on the way to her office, and boy was she shocked to see Kiba back at the hospital. As much as she liked his company, she knew he loathed the hospital, saying something about him being drugged with sedatives enough to bring an elephant down because of some sadistic nurse. The only times she would ever see him a mile near the hospital was if he wanted to go to the bar. He never seemed to get any injuries serious enough to end up going to the hospital, and annoyingly, he skipped all of his hospital appointments.

The only reason he had been admitted to the hospital recently was because she had warned (threatened) him several times to come to the hospital to get his vaccinations, and refused until she decided to break every bone in his left arm and hand. Dragging his body to the hospital, she then decided to inject him with every single vaccine he had missed so far. It could have been dangerous but hey, since he was the heir to the Inuzuka clan, we couldn't have him get attacked by "pointless" little viruses could we?

Of course, she gave him a lot of tablets to keep his immune system up, and of course healed his arm slightly (he wasn't going to get away with ignoring her warnings that easily) afterwards. She still had the reputation of the hospital to uphold.

However, it sure was a slight surprise to be walking calmly to your office at one second, then be swiped and dragged off into a random empty hospital room the next. It was kind of cute, mainly really funny to see a blushing Kiba thrust a potted plant at her, mumbling an apology and a thanks, saying something like, "I hope you like these cherry blossoms."

What was even funnier, whoever the florist was who sold him the plants had conned him, and had conned him bad. From the fact that there were only a few flower shops in the village and that Kiba was probably only aware of one of them, she could make a pretty good assumption of whom had cheated him.

"What!" Kiba yelled angrily, "That BITCH! She lied to me!" Yup, she definitely knew who conned him. He glared at the flowers, snarling angrily at the pot before reaching for it to take back. Sakura wouldn't let him though, she simply moved back slightly out of his arm's reach. Wrong or not, it was the thought that counted and she would happily accept these flowers, after all, she did feel kind of sorry for the blushing teenager in front of her. Giggling a little to herself, she had to admit, even the almighty, arrogant and goddamn egotistical Kiba looked cute and squishy at that moment, with his arm all bandaged up and his face as red as a tomato.

"Oi, Sakura… Y-You don't have to accept them, I'll just take them back to the cow and demand real cherry blossoms." He said bashfully, avoiding any eye contact with Sakura. She smiled sweetly at him.

"It's okay, it was the thought that counted, they do look lovely after all…" She said calmly, making a mental note that Kiba's ears would twitch slightly whenever he seemed to cheer up.

"R-Really?" He asked incredulously.

"Yup! Although…" She trailed off, letting a slight frown etch into her face.

"…It's no good after all, huh…" He said slightly sadly, making a mental note to kill Ino later. Sakura simply raised an eyebrow at his slightly evil glare at the floor, before laughing.

"No no no, it's not that… It's just… I'm really good at healing people and all, but with cooking, gardening and random housework, I'm just terrible! This poor thing won't survive a week with me looking after it!" This made Kiba look at her in surprise. He had never once thought of her to be the type to not do… womanly things well. He grinned at her, that confident toothy grin that he always wore. It made her smile, at least some people haven't changed that much over the years, still good old overconfident Kiba, but still reliable all the same. It was… nice…

Whilst she was in her own thoughts, Kiba seemed to be having his own. Suddenly, his grin widened. "Why don't I take care of the tree for you! I'm quite good with gardening! You could come over and visit me whenever you'd like!" He said, before realising what he had just said. Sakura just blushed. "I… Uh… I mean, visit us whenever you like… Akamaru and the clan and all… Hana would really love to see you soon again… She said… Or something…" He mumbled, but luckily Sakura could understand what he meant. Still blushing, she started to reply.

"I woul-"

"And uh, I'm… I'm not terrible with cooking, I'm really good in fact. I can do housework easily and uh, I uh… Would you like to go out with me on Sunday..?" He blurted out, his ears looked like they were turning red too.

She didn't reply for a while, only stood there shocked, looking at him surprisedly. He swore that he had never been more nervous in all of his 19 years living.

"…"

"…Sakura, i- it's okay, you don't have t-"

"I'd love to Kiba."
