Hey there! Back from my tour, and straight to writing this chapter! Enjoy~

Disclaimer: I own Naruto. In my dreams.


It was Sakura's first weekend in Konoha.

"Saso-nii, I have to go shopping for new clothes and other stuff!"

"I'm busy, so go with someone else."

"I can go alone, I'm not a kid anymore!"

"You just came here, you might get lost."

"Ah, fine. I'll call Konan."

"She's busy too. Call Kisame, he's sure to be free."

She dialed his phone number, Kisame picking up at the second ring.

"Hey, Cherry Blossom! What's up?"

"I need a chaperone to go shopping."

"Sasori's rules, right? Not that I'm complaining, but why not call Konan instead of me?"

"She's busy apparently."

"Alright, meet up at the town square."


Sakura walked there, waiting for around 10 minutes.

"Cha! Where is he?!" fumed her inner self.

She then saw Kisame running up to her.

"You're late."

"Sorry, I-ah, I was helping a kid get his balloon back!"

"Really?" she asked, suspicious.

"Yes, really."

She just nodded, wanting to finally go shopping after a week. She walked towards the mall, Kisame quickly following.

They walked around, Sakura buying whatever she needed with Kisame holding the evergrowing amount of bags.

"Sakura, could we go get a drink?" "And a break." He thought.

"Sure!"

They bought some coffee and sat down.

As they were drinking, Kisame had some coffee left besides his mouth.

"Kisame, don't move." said Sakura as she wiped it off.

Kisame stayed stiill, noticing she had some cotton from her new clothes in her hair. He picked it off slowly, not wanting to hurt her.

They then heard:

"What a cute couple!"

"They're adorable!"

"I wish I had a relationship like that."

They both blushed, Sakura read as a tomato.

"L-let's go, Kisame."

"Y-yeah, let's go."

The pink and blue duo left the mall and went straight to Sakura and Sasori's apartement. They stood at the door.

"Here." said Kisame, holding out a cute box.

"What is it?" asked the pinkette, curious.

"Just open it."

She did and saw a beautiful cherry blossom hairpin.

"Oh! Kisame, you... Is this why you were late?"

"Yeah." he said, scratching the back of his head.

"Thank you!" said Sakura as she hugged him.

"What's going on here?"

Sakura yelped, jumping away from Kisame.

"Saso-nii!"


I am sooo very sorry, this will be on a 1 week break, I'm dealing with school problems.
