Okay so here is just a little idea I had for an extra chapter, its probably stupid but ya know I just had to get Sasuke and Haren's relationship moving a little, though Haren is still really dense about it...
Special Extra chapter: the best birthday ever!
Haren walked along the dark streets of Konoha, she had just gotten back from the Hokage's office.
She smiled happily, the chunnin exams! She would get to participate with her new team. In just two days!
She thought about it for a moment, she hadn't trained with her team for three days now, she wondered why...
Haren turned onto the alley that was a short cut to her apartment, to feel an odd presence.
Suddenly a hand came out of no where and grabbed her, covering her mouth and her eyes. She tried screaming but it was muffled. Damn it she was a ninja, how the hell did she go and get herself caught like this!? She kicked and struggled, but the kidnapper already had her hands tied as well as her feet. How could this happen!? It was the night of her birthday, of course no one had remembered but that was okay, Haren didn't mind, but still what kind of a present was this?
The kidnapper seemed to start walking, Haren still thrashed around, trying desperately to get free. She thought of Sasuke suddenly, what would he do in this situation? Haren went over her list of possible escape routs,
jutsu, nope hands were tied.
Bargaining or bribery? Nope mouth was covered...
she couldn't think of anything else, man would Zabuza Sensei be disappointed in her right now...
suddenly she was set down and a familiar voice rang in her ears,
"You know you didn't have to thrash so much!" the hand went away from her eyes and she saw Zabuza's smiling face, his sharp teeth reminding her of a shark.
"W-what? Sensei?!" Haren said stunned as he began to untie her, she looked around wildly, but it was pitch black, she could only see Zabuza because he was so close.
He smiled at her again after he was done untying her and helped her to stand up,
"Wha-" the word didn't leave her mouth because she was suddenly blinded by light.
They were in a large field that had the memorial stone in the center along with three posts. The trees on the sides of the field as well as one in the middle were strung up with multicolored paper lanterns. There were tables lined up with food and presents near the outside of the field.
And in the very middle near the big tree, stood all of Haren's friends and family. Jannu, Chibi, Naruto, Kakashi, Chi, Zabuza, Shikamaru, Hinata, Neji, Ten ten, Lee, Shino, Kiba, even the third Hokage! Haren's eyes began to tear up as Sasuke came up behind her and guided her to the crowd of people, all of them smiling and laughing.
From the middle of the crowd, a cake was brought forward by Kiba and Naruto.
It was absolutely gigantic! And it had twelve candles on the top layer, all burning different colors.
The crowd formed a circle around Haren as the cake was set on a table in front of her, all at once they yelled,
"HAPPY TWELTH BIRTHDAY HAREN!" with tears streaming down her cheeks Haren took a deep breath and blew out the candles. Every one began clapping and cheering, Haren turned around to face Chibi, Sasuke and Naruto,
"How did all of you know?"
Naruto gave her a big grin,
"How could your big brother forget your birthday?" Sasuke suddenly glared at him,
"i was the one who remembered DOBE! You had no clue!"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT TEME?! I'LL CLEAN YOUR CLOCK!" the two boys began going at it yelling at each other. Everyone else just laughed, the third Hokage went over and cut a piece of cake, handing the plate to Haren.
Haren took a bite closing her eyes in happiness,
"It is great!" the two bickering boys paid her no mind continuing to argue. A vein pulsed in her forehead, and she tapped Naruto and Sasuke on their shoulders.
They both turned around saying,
"WHA-" though they did not have time to finish because a piece of cake was shoved into each of their faces, the second piece courtesy of the third Hokage, who was laughing and enjoying himself.
The two boys looked stunned to say the least, but then Sasuke got a surprise yet again when Haren after doing the same to Naruto kissed his cake covered cheek,
"mm, thanks you two, and every one else, for throwing me this party, this is the best birthday I have ever had in my entire life!" she said when she turned away from the beet red Uchiha.
The rest of the night was filled with music, dancing, and the occasional brawl. But Haren was having so much fun it seemed like a dream.
At the very end, Kakashi, Sasuke, and Zabuza got together and sent up blasts of lightning, fire, and water into the sky. Marking the end of an amazing party.
When it was all cleaned up and everyone else had gone home, only Sasuke, Naruto, Haren, and a sleeping Chibi were left.
While Haren was collecting her gifts Naruto quietly picked up Chibi and carried her away into the trees.
Haren turned around to look into the face of Sasuke Uchiha,
"Haren, I never got a chance to give yo my gift." he said sadly. Haren was confused, she moved the objects in her hands around a little until she found a brand new kunai holster, she showed it to him.
"Haha, yes that was technically a gift, but it was more of a distraction so no one would get suspicious." Haren was really confused now, he leaned closer until their noses were touching and whispered,
"Happy birthday Haren."
then he closed the gap letting his lips lightly touch hers. Haren's eyes were wide open and her face was bright red. Sasuke pulled away after a few seconds, no trace of blush on his face, he had apparently mentally prepared himself for this.
He patted Haren's head then he too disappeared into the darkness. Leaving Haren standing alone and shocked in the now ordinary training field.
"This really was... the best birthday ever..." she muttered to herself.
