AN: Hello there :) I hope you like this. Updates will be next week, so please look forward to it.
Naruto is not mine.
"Nothing like a good training session." Sakura happily sighed as she stretched her arms.
Sai stayed quiet as he fixed his gloves and gave a few glances at the girl beside him.
Their deepened friendship made them comfortable with each other, even though Sai continued to kiss her and touch her; At the end of the day, they still have an undeniable connection and Sakura's still not sure about it.
"KOOORAAAAH!" Sakura gave a a big breath as se punched the ground that violently rippled to Sai's direction, luckily for Sai, he's blessed with great speed.
Sai gave a smile at the kunoichi, still in midair. He swiftly got a couple of his kunai and threw it towards the medic's direction. Sakura gave a smirk as she dodged each one, in a blink of an eye Sai was behind Sakura. His arms hooked over her neck.
"I don't get you at all.." Sakura commented as she flipped Sai's body over, making him and the ground collide.
"You say you love me.." Sakura and Sai are now fighting with their fists, each block and each dodged she gave time to talk.
"But you let the pig..." Sakura swept her leg under Sai, he jumped and punched Sakura's sides.
"Cling to you like a leech.." Sakura added in grimaced as she kept up with Sai's punches.
"Ugly, could it be... You're jealous?" Sai hit the mark, Sakura was caught off guard giving him an opening to kick her side.
"J- Jealous? Don't joke around!" Sakura scoffed as she tried to gain more momentum in her moves.
"Then let me ask you this.. Did you somehow feel uneasy at the site of your friend throwing herself at me?" Sai gave a stoic face as he caught Sakura by her waist making them pause for a while.
"...No.." Sakura replied, pushing Sai away as she timely caught his hand and twisted him, making Sai wince in pain.
Sai effortlessly untangled his hand and hooked his arms each under Sakura's.
"It will never help if you don't tell the truth ... Besides it'll make you look more guilty." Sakura struggled in his hold.
"Then what happens if I say yes?" Sakura asked as she elbowed Sai, making him lose grasp of the strong kunoichi.
"Isn't it obvious?" Sai gave a smirk as he simply pinned Sakura's body down on the ground.
Sai and Sakura held their gazes, sweat drenched and panting. His onyx met with her viridian, both looked at the bottomless stare they've been holding. Sakura's face had a tinge of red at the realization of their closeness. It wasn't like that before, sometimes she'd blush but it was more tamed down.
The pale artist took in what was before him, he followed every curve of her face and every sweat that caressed the contours of her porcelain skin. Sai gulped, this was heaven for him. She made him felt things that was impossible for him to feel, she made him feel so alive that it hurts.
"Ugly.." Sai called out.
"I... said, Don't call me Ugly.." Sakura panted as she weakly headbutted Sai.
"I can't fight what I feel, especially when I know I have a chance .." Sai reasoned as he lowered his head just beside Sakura's, his exhale of breath kisses Sakura's ear making her blush even more.
"You're very annoying, y'know that?" Sai added.
"You're more annoying." Sakura chuckled.
Sai rolled to his side making them side by side, their eyes were greeted by the clear blue sky.
"Was he THAT amazing?" The artist asked.
"Who?" Sakura asked as she tilted her head to the side to look at Sai.
"Sasuke... Was he that amazing that you can't possibly fall for anyone else?" Sai said, his tone weaker.
"Unfortunately... He was.." Sakura's voice cracked.
"I see.." Sai gave a simple reply.
"But.. That doesn't mean that you're not amazing too.." Sakura added, she closed her eyes and gave a content sigh.
"Then I have to exceed amazing.." Sai commented.
"Why?" Sakura hummed.
"To make you mine forever." Sai replied, he looked determined and ready.
"If you treat me to Ichiraku then maybe just maybe... You'll make it there." Sakura joked as she waved her hand midair to cast a shadow on her face.
"What a hag.." Sai sighed.
Sakura frowned as she made a fist with her left hand and pounded it on Sai's crotch making him shot up in pain.
"Not... cute at all.." Sai mumbled, still in sheer pain.
"You're lost." Sakura pouted as she got up and walked away.
"Joking is really troublesome..." Sai said as he tried to stand up and follow the girl who left him in incredible amount of unimaginable pain.
"I need to use this for future purposes.." Sai commented as he stared down on his nether region looking worried.
It was 9:00 am when they arrived at Ichiraku.
"I found Naruto blacked out on the bench earlier." Sakura said as she took a spoonful of the hot broth.
"I clearly said to them to take care of Dickless.. " Sai was confused and furrowed his eyebrows.
"Don't worry... That's how they are." Sakura chuckled.
"Yooo.." Naruto said weakly as he entered and grabbed a sit next to Sakura.
"Yo Boss... give me a bowl.." He added.
"No doubt, you ARE hungover." Sakura commented at the drained lad.
"Too.. much.. drink.." Naruto barely replied.
"W-wait.. Aren't you in the same despair too?" Naruto questioned as he looked at the perfectly fine pair.
"Medic." Sakura simply said as she pointed at herself.
"What's your excuse?" Naruto moved his head to see Sai.
"I'm just not." Sai replied giving a smile.
"GREAT." Naruto said sarcastically.
