Disclaimer: I still don't own Naruto. Wait... Nope, still don't.
Rated T for language and safety.
"And everyone made out of this experience unscathed," Sasuke said, still not opening his eyes.
"'Cept for you Sakura," Naruto chuckled, pointed at her arm.
Sakura growled at the blond man-boy.
Lee listened to the whole conversation outside an open window. Police? Orphanage? Runaway? Were all of them runaways? No one ever told him anything anymore.
"I must tell Gai-senpai!" he whispered and stalked away from the house-mansion as quietly as a snake.
"Gai-senpai?" Lee asked, looking around the police office. He walked down a hall and entered the lobby, he noticed Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma sitting at a table playing cards.
As Lee approached them he heard Kakashi say, "Go fish," and Asuma grunted in understanding and frustration.
"Oh! Lee-san!" Kurenai cried, looking over her cards at the man-boy. Lee waved to her, "Are you looking with Gai? If you are, he's in the Cafeteria trying to get the cook to loose wait again,"
Lee sighed and bowed, "Thank you, Kurenai-senpai," He stood up straight and ran out the lobby when he heard Asuma yell at Kakashi.
"DAMN IT, KAKASHI! YOU'RE USING THE SHARINGAN AGAIN!"
Two weeks flew by swiftly. Sakura sat on the bench outside the house-mansion, staring up at the blue sky that was dappled with clean, white clouds.
I was a her second week in the house-mansion. She still wore her bandages on her right arm that was now half-way healed.
She had spent most her time in the library, but today she decided to take her book outside to enjoy the sun.
The girl hummed a single tone and looked back down at her book. Hamlet. Another story by Shakespeare.
When she heard the slam of the screen door, she looked up. The man with raven black hair crossed the lawn towards her. He was wearing his regular blue shirt and cream colored shorts, since no one in the house had much more clothes than the ones they wore regularly and the ones they wore at night, she didn't mind that he was wearing the same clothes. Since, she was also wearing Ino's old clothes.
She caught her breath when she saw Sasuke, and her heart skipped a beat.
Sakura had recently had just recently discovered that she had a small crush on the man-boy. Well, maybe it was more than a small crush.
She was absolutely in love.
Sasuke sat down next to her, "Hey,"
"Hello," Sakura blushed, closing her book.
"You're reading Hamlet this time?" Sasuke observed.
"Shakespeare is a good writer!" she protested.
"Did I say he wasn't?"
Sakura paused and whispered; "No,"
He smirked, "You're a confusing person," he looked her up and down as if this was the first time he had ever seen her, "I still have yet to figure you out."
"Well, there isn't much to figure out," she lay the book down between them and propped her good elbow on the back of the bench, placing her chin on her knuckles.
"Can I ask you a couple questions?"
"Sure,"
"Promise to answer them truthfully?"
"Promise,"
Sasuke seemed convinced, and he quietly asked, "Did you run away from home, or did your parents die?"
"My parents died in a car crash, you know, the big one that happened thirteen years ago down on intersection twelve? They were the tiny dodge the was hit by the semi truck," Sakura's lower lip trembled as she remembered the horrible memories when she was four.
"I'm sorry, Sakura," Sasuke whispered, "it must have been awful,"
Sakura nodded but asked for the next question.
"Do you have any living relatives?"
"Not that I know of," she told him, playing with the hem of the red shirt again.
"And this is the final question. It's the most important question of all, and you have to promise me, promise me that you answer it truthfully, so much that it sounds like you've dived into a pool of truth,"
How could she refuse the face? She nodded. He smiled.
"I really like you Sakura, more than just a friend, and more than just a crush," Sasuke took her hand and she took an intake of breath. Was this a dream? She bit the inside of her cheek. No. That hurt. This was real.
"Do you feel the same way about me?"
Sakura smiled widely, her body was shaking with happiness. She slid her hand from his and wrapped her arms around his neck. She couldn't help but chuckle at his look of surprise before slowly laying her lips on his.
But before the kiss got any deeper, they heard Ino and Naruto yelling from the path that lead to the road.
"Sasuke! Sakura!" Naruto yowled, "The police are coming! They somehow found us!"
Oh! Fluff! oo Only a couple more chapters left! I'm aiming for ten, eleven, maybe twelve chapters.
Thanks for reading!
