"Oh shit!" I raised an eyebrow.

"It's 8.56!"

"...so?"

She gave me a look that screamed 'are you kidding me' and then it hit me. I grabbed her hand and started running. I looked back at her once and saw her matching my speed. We reached the house panting and sweaty.

"You guys look like you ran a marathon."

"Idiot..."

We fell asleep on the couch after watching a great deal of movies, and I was the first to wake up. And guess who fell asleep on me? Naruto! I pushed him off and he fell on the floor. He glared up at me but I wasn't affected at all.

"Hey Kushina," he started after a few minutes of recovering. She didn't even flinch.

"Sasuke is going to make some cookies for you!" Before I could smack Naruto upside the head, I felt a tug on my shirt.

"You will?" She said in the cutest voice I've ever heard in my entire life. Don't get me started on how big her eyes were. Sigh.

"Yes." The overwhelming rush I felt when she smiled at me was immense.

Later~

As I was mixing the dough, Naruto was dancing to hips don't lie shirtless and Kushina was taking a video of him without knowing. He started chasing her angrily and she went behind me and held the back of my shirt like a kid.

"Sasuke!" She said.

"I'll give you call of duty for a whole week!" Naruto bargained.

"Ok, you can have her."

"Oh hell no!" She came from behind me and pushed Naruto roughly.

"How dare you trade me for a game! " she pointed accusingly at me. Naruto tried to grab her leg, but she evaded it and gave him a kick, all without turning.

"You're right, I don't need the game anymore Naruto." She gasped.

"You're about to pa-" I shoved raw cookie dough into her mouth and she sighed.

"This is heavenly!" I smirked. Worked too well part two.

Naruto took that chance to pull her down and with that they started to wrestle.

"Cookies are done." I announced. That was exactly how long they took. Kushina smacked him and ran towards me.

"Oh my god! Marry me!" She moaned. I blushed very badly.

"Who taught you how to bake like this!"

"...my mom."

"She made him learn so he could please his future wife." Naruto exclaimed laughing.

"Well it did more than please me." Naruto gave me a knowing look and I just shrugged it off.

"I'm bored.." she said after eating 6 more cookies. It was Saturday.

"How about a pool party!"

"You heard MnMs, no parties."

"Well it won't necessarily be a party if we invite our friends only."

"But it's cold~" Kushina complained.

"Sasuke will keep you warm." I blushed again.

"That makes no sense whatsoever."

"And...done."

"What the hell did you do dobe?"

"Texted everyone to be here in half an hour."

"Everyone?!"

"Kiba, Neji, Shikamaru, Sakura, Tenten, Ino and Hinata." I cringed once I heard the name of Sakura. I looked at Kushina who didn't seem affected. That's right, I never told her..

3rd PERSON POV~

Everyone had arrived in the span of fifteen minutes (jobless people...) and they were all chilling by the pool. Well, not exactly all.

Sasuke was annoyed. He was tired of waiting for her to come out, and the people here were very boring. He was having an internal debate on whether to go and get her before she came out in jean shorts and a beige sweater, carrying a huge water balloon. He raised an eyebrow at her as she hushed him and walked over to where they were sitting quietly. She smacked the balloon onto a shy Hyuga's head that became drenched in a matter of seconds. Kushina tried running but was pushed into the pool by an angry Hinata.

"You bitch!" She yelled after resurfacing. Hinata laughed at her. Until she felt all attention on her and started to blush and stutter. She helped Kushina out, only to push her back down.

"Hyuuga!"

"Sorry!" She helped her out.

"Dog pile!"

"Noooo!" Ino and Tenten jumped onto the two girls, who were then followed by Naruto and Kiba.

"You guys are so immature." Sakura rolled her eyes.

"And you're dull!" Ino yelled back, while pushing down an annoyed redhead.

"Get off me you pig!" She eventually had managed to make it out of the pool, only to be stopped by a smirking Sasuke.

"I know what you're thinking, and it's not happening!" He said nothing as he slowly walked towards her. He grabbed her waist and jumped into the pool.

"Are you kidding me?!" She yelled as they both resurfaced. "I've been pushed into this stupid pool four times!"

"Let go of me Uchiha!" He held her waist and dove backwards into the water. Damn Uchihas to hell!

They all sat in a circle to play truth or dare after a majority wins vote. There were complaints here and there, but it all came down to playing.

"Truth or dare Sakura." Tenten asked.

"Truth.."

"If you were stranded on a deserted island, and you could take only one person with you, who would it be?"

"Sasuke-kun of course." Said boy looked annoyed.

"Truth or dare, uhh..Kiba!" Sasuke looked relieved.

"Dare me!"

"I dare you to...buy everyone dinner!"

"Awww man! But I'm broke!"

"A dare is a dare."

"Fine. Kushina, truth or dare?

"...dare."

"I dare you to pick truth."

"Is that even allowed?"

"There is no rule book." He grinned.

"Okay..."

"Describe a wet dream you had of a guy in this circle." There was a series of ohhhs. This is going to be interesting.

"Sasuke," he raised his eyebrow. Oh, I so want to hear this. "He was hit by a bus and I peed on myself laughing." Everyone started laughing. Sasuke glared at her.

"My turn, truth or dare Neji." He eyed her. Picking either was not going to end well for him.

"Come on grandma! I don't have all day."

"Truth."

"Do you use more products than necessary on your hair?"

"..." she gave him a look.

"I'm not going to answer."

"You have to, unless you opt for dare." Ino chirped.

"I will do neither."

"Then you face the penalty!"

What was done to Neji at that moment could not be mentioned here, due to the rating.

Kiba in the end made Sasuke buy dinner, and everyone had picked a variety of stuff which Sasuke refused to buy. They all decided on KFC.

"Uzumaki, let's go." He said as he picked up his keys. She glared at him.

"I'm not some puppy you can drag everywhere -"

"I'll buy you whatever you want." She started searching for some shoes to wear. The two then left together.

"There is something totally going on between them." Ino exclaimed.

"Stop getting into other people's business Ino." Shikamaru yawned.

"Go back to sleep!"

Meanwhile Sasuke was trying to take the longest road possible.

"You know there's a KFC that's closer than where you're headed."

"I know where I'm going." She started poking his cheek non-stop. His left eye twitched.

"Hehehe.."

"You're amused by this?"

"What's not to be amused by a twitching, duck-butted hair vampire."

"..."

"Cuz you're way too pale."

"Kushina."

"Yes?"

"Why did I take you with me?"

"Cuz I'm fun." He scoffed.

"Don't you scoff at me!"

He smirked. "You're cute when you're mad."

"I'm cute all the time."

"Who told you that lie?"

"You."

"As if."

"Fine, don't believe me." She pouted as he pinched her cheek.

"That will be $67." He grunted and paid the guy. Stupid Kiba.

"Are you single?" Sasuke glared at him.

"No, I'm double." He smirked. Good girl.

"Oh, I like girls who play hard to get."

"And I would love to give a shit, but I guess that's not happening either."

"Really, cuz you're missing out..."

"Speak to her again and I'll make sure you won't be able to ever again."

"Yeah, what are you going to do about it?"

"You went too far."

"It's not like I didn't warn him."

"Need I remind you that flipped him over the counter, and then proceeded to use his body to break two tables."

"Hn." He smirked.

"Sasuke I'm serious!"

"Why are you defending him? He was hitting on you."

"I can handle it and you know that. You're just jealous." He scoffed.

"I am not jealous."

"I hear denial!" She sang.

"I may be jealous, but I'm not in denial." His eyes widened at what he admitted to.

"Come again?"

"I said I'm not in denial."

"Nu-uh."

"Kushina.."

"Fine."

"What took you guys so long!" Naruto.

"Ask Mr. I'm-going-to-go-to-the-furthest-KFC-in-town."

"I don't care anymore, just hand it over!"

Sakura watched with envy as Sasuke sat next to Kushina, poking some french fries at her. And then she noticed that look he gave her as she searched for her sandwich. It was a look that was portrayed on someone when they were in love. It lasted until she turned to him and stuck her tongue out, and it was pretty obvious that the redhead had no clue. Why her! I've known him since Pre-K! What does she have that I don't...

"T-thank y-you Naruto-kun."

"No prob!"

Sakura watched them, now curious. Didn't Naruto like me! And then it hit her. It will totally work!

"Kushina..."

"Hmmmm..."

"Wake up."

"But it's...Sunday..."

"We have homework."

"I can...do...it later..."

"It's 12pm."

"Mhmm."

"Kushina.."

"Yes?"

"Will you wake up?"

"Okay..." she stretched and yawned and he tried not to blush when her shirt rode up and he saw her belly button pierced.

"Is Naruto awake?" She yawned.

"He went out."

"Huh, where?"

"Beats me."

"I'll see you in the kitchen." He raised his eyebrow but decided not to ask.

"I'm going to make you breakfast!" She announced after brushing her teeth and changing. Sasuke tried to look unaffected by her shorts which showed off her oh so attractive legs...

"I'm not in the mood to eat anything burnt."

"That was mean..."

"Hn."

"Any preferences?"

"Tomatoes."

"Is that it?" He nodded.

She finished in about fifteen minutes; all the while he stared at the plate set in front of him. It consisted of an omelet that was folded in half and beef bacon. She cut the omelet in half and he saw it was stuffed with diced tomatoes and cheese.

"Bon appetite!" He took a bite out of it and sighed in content.

"Is it burnt?" She asked playfully.

"How can egg taste so perfect?"

"You really like it?"

"I might consider taking you up on that marriage offer."

"Too late!" She poked his cheek.

Is this what love feels like?
