Prompt: 631 - Sasuke asks Sakura how she feels about him now.
"Well?"
Sakura turned her head slightly. "Sasuke-kun," she said, gritting through her teeth as she deflected another attack, "this isn't exactly the best time to ask me." Maybe, under different circumstances, Sakura would have been glad to answer him, but at the moment it just felt so sudden, so out of place. Of all times, why now? However, she didn't have time to ponder Sasuke's behavior as a boulder flew in her direction, forcing her to jump out of the way.
Now she was directly behind the Uchiha, her back against his. The attacks were becoming more frequent now; it was all just a nuisance really. At this rate, they weren't going to accomplish anything if they couldn't even get to the ten-tails. And yet, Sakura could hear the frustration in Sasuke's voice as he growled, "Answer the question."
Sakura twitched, just barely dodging another blow. Was he being serious? "Can't this wait?!"
"Damn it, Sakura," Sasuke said, yelling over the sounds of explosions, "just answer the damn question!"
Before she could yell another retort, one last barrage of attacks came in their direction. And although, it was irritating, Sakura was thankful; it gave her more time to figure what was going through Sasuke's mind. But as the dust cleared, leaving the two of them in the middle of the clearing, Sakura was still at a loss of what to tell him. "I just don't understand why it's so important!"
Sasuke slowly turned to face her, his fists clenched, shaking in anger. "All I need is a simple answer," he said evenly, clearly trying to stay calm so he wouldn't lash out at her, "Either you still feel the same or you don't. Considering what I heard from the Fourth, I think I already know the answer. But I need to hear you say it."
The Fourth? Sakura made a face, tilting her head. What does he have to do— And then it hit her. "Are you talking about Naruto-kun and me?"
Sasuke tensed, as if even the sound of her and Naruto together was revolting. "Yes."
She stared at him, and then laughed as she walked closer to him. "Sasuke-kun, you're so," Sakura said as grabbed Sasuke's face and kissed him. A small gasp escaped from his lips before he began to kiss her back, longingly, ardently. However, before Sasuke could deepen the kiss, Sakura pulled away and said, her hands still on his face, "incorrigible." She laughed again at the look he was giving her. "Now does that answer your question?"
Sasuke turned away, yet, unable to conceal the slight pink on his cheeks. "H-hn."
"Great!" Sakura exclaimed, as she slapped him on the back, "now let's go! We have a war to win!"
