She blinked at the bag of potato chips that was dangling in front of her face, surprised at its sudden appearance out of thin air. She quickly noted the hand grasping the top of the bag and followed it up to the forearm, then the bicep and finally rested her gaze on the face of her teammate. His smile was nowhere to be seen and it always unnerved her simply because he looked so damn serious that it didn’t really suit him.

When he shook the bag to get her attention once more, she gingerly took it from him, giving him a questioning look. Where had he found food? Why had he given it to her? Why hadn’t he kept it for himself? Surely he was hungry, what with recovering from his injuries, minor as they were.

“You need the energy boost,” he explained, slowly sitting down next to her and reclining back against the same wall she was leaning on. “You spent too much chakra on the others. You need to eat, so…this’ll have to do until one of us can actually go get something.”

She slowly nodded before sliding her gaze onto the recovering figures of their teammate and team leader. They were both fast asleep, their breathing deep and even. They were going to be fine from what she could tell—just in need of a few days bed-rest, that’s all.

She returned her gaze to the young man beside her and studied his profile until he turned his head and met her wandering eyes. He raised a brow at her, still not bothering to paste a smile on his face—an obvious sign of how exhausted he was. She shook her head at his silent question.

“Thank you, Sai,” she said, opening the bag of chips with a small, soft pop and tossing one into her mouth. She took a moment to savor the taste of food and closed her eyes, cheeks flushing slightly as her stomach rumbled in glee.

“Of course,” was all he said, but she wasn’t surprised really. This was Sai after all. Opening her eyes, she saw that he had been studying her profile as well, but instead of asking him why, she tilted the open bag of food in his direction.

“Want some?” she asked, giving him a genuine smile. His face remained carefully blank as he weighed his options—the pros and cons and all that jazz—before tentatively reaching for a chip, as if waiting for her to pull the bag away and say she was just kidding. When she didn’t pull away but simply continued to smile at him, she watched him breathe a slight sigh of relief and take a chip.

A smile slowly spread across his face as he ate it and turned back to her, smile still on his face. She was pleased to see that it was one of his rare and genuine ones.

“Thank you...Sakura.”

“Of course, Sai.”

2008-07-22T07:58:45Z

This chapter was halved because Sasuke is a bit bat-shit. That much crazy needs to be paced.
Next update won't be in two years...looks to be two-days actually. If I can bang it out sooner, rest assured I will.
Next chapter starts earning this fic its rating, additional warnings will be applied.
Don't ask me when the chapter after that will be out. Haven't a clue.

Naruto Fic - GaaSaku of sorts...

2008-05-24T03:57:38Z

This was just a little something that popped into my head ages ago. I started it and never got around to finishing it. I'm still not sure if I will but who knows. I thought some people here would like to read what I've got so far and maybe give suggestions or something.

Bright colors distorted her vision as she walked along the streets of Konoha. Shouts and cheers filled the air, along with orders and suggestions. In a few days time, the streets would be crowed with both shinobi and civilians, celebrating some holiday she couldn’t quite remember at the moment. A fiesta of some sort.

Normally, she’d be more than happy to help with the preparations and excited for the time off, but she wasn’t. Her heart was thumping an odd rhythm in her chest and her lungs felt somewhat constricted. The Kazekage would be visiting the village around the same time and for some unexplainable reason, she was worried about his arrival.

She knew it was ridiculous since they had grown to be friends ever since the Akatsuki incident. Hell, he’d even requested that Konoha send her to Suna to train some of their medics, which she had agreed to readily, knowing how ill trained they were. It would benefit everyone in the end and she’d been more than happy to go.

So why was she nervous about his arrival here?

“Oh! Sakura-san! Don’t you meet the Hokage soon?” a voice called out to her and she paused. She quickly turned her eyes to the owner of the voice and saw that it was man who owned Ichiraku. She smiled and greeted him, moving into the somewhat larger food-stand. He’d expanded it not too long ago, but it was still comfortably small.

“Aaa, I completely forgot. Arigatou, Oji-san,” she said, bowing to him. “How are Ayame-chan and Hiroshi-san doing?”

“Ah, she’s fine. The baby is finally kicking and she’s been all smiles since,” the old man said with a proud smile on his face as he finished preparing some ramen.

Sakura smiled and nodded, “That’s wonderful! They must be very excited.”

“Yes they are,” he agreed, handing her a take-out box with four bowls of ramen instead of the usual three. She frowned in confusion and looked at him to ask him if he’d given her the wrong box.

“I saw the Kazekage pass by on his way in. I figured he’d still be there,” he answered seeing the question in her eyes. Her eyes widen and she quickly turned to look at Hokage Tower, her heart doing an odd flutter in her chest. Gaara had arrived early? Why?

“You better hurry…if you want to have lunch with the both of them,” the older man said with a knowing smile. Sakura felt her face heat in embarrassment, suddenly realizing why she’d been so anxious about the Kazekage’s arrival.

“A-arigatou, Oji-san!” she stuttered, grabbing her take-out and racing to the office of the Hokage. She took the steps two at a time and slowed as she approached to the office doors. She caught her breath for a moment before knocking and entering. Being best friend of the Hokage had its perks…as was being one of the Head Medics at the hospital.

“Sakura-chan~!” Naruto said happily as she entered and closed the door behind her. She smiled back and gave a respectful nod to the other occupant of the room. Gaara nodded back, his jade eyes intently watching her approach.

“I brought lunch,” she said with a laugh as Naruto’s eyes lit up at the sight of his favorite food. “And Oji-san made an extra bowl, since he believed the Kazekage would still be here.”

She placed the box on the somewhat cluttered desk of the blond Hokage and opened it up to reveal four ramen bowls. Naruto immediately grabbed one and a pair of chopsticks, saying ‘ittadakimasu’ before digging in. Sakura chuckled and pulled out a bowl and chopsticks, handing it to Gaara, who took it with a nod of thanks.

She smiled and broke into her own bowl, her stomach rumbling softly at the prospect of food. After a while, she looked up at the silent pair of kages and laughed. At their questioning look, she gave them a benign smile.

“You two are a pair…both so intent on your food,” she chuckled and received a boisterous laugh from her best friend and a slight smile from the redhead.

“Gaara, I thought you weren’t coming for a few more days?” she asked and his jade eyes met hers. A shiver raced down her spine.

“I was…but I finished early, so I came early,” was the simple answer and Sakura didn’t push for a more detailed explanation. After all, he was a kage and didn’t have to explain himself to her if he chose not to.

“I see… Are you going to stay for the festivities then?”

There was a hesitant pause from the redhead and he glanced away from both her and Naruto.

“Oi~! You gotta stay! It’s going to be so cool~! There’s going to be a parade and a dance and food and—and—Sakura-chan, what else is there? I forgot…” Naruto trailed off sheepishly, looking to Sakura for support.

Sakura laughed, “There’s a lot more. So will you stay?”

At her question, Gaara looked back at both of them, eyes unsure but determined. “Aaa…”

“Great~! It’ll be fun! You’ll see! This fiesta is going to be the best ever~!” Naruto announced animatedly, his ramen bowl in danger of tipping over from his antics. She noticed Gaara smile just slightly at that but she could detect some unease from the redhead.

As she finished her ramen and stood to collect the bowls, she whispered to Gaara, “If you want, we can go to the fiesta together.”

At his slight nod, she smiled and waved goodbye to both of them. Her stomach was full of butterflies now, despite having just finished eating. Oh boy…she’d just sentenced herself to about three days of anxiety. Great…

“How’d it go?”

She gave the owner of Ichiraku a forced smile, “Oh it went well. Naruto wanted me to give you his thanks.”

The older man nodded and took the box of empty bowls from her. She pulled out her money purse to pay but he clicked his tongue and motioned for her to sit down. She did so, somewhat confused by his silent order. She glanced around nervously, noting that there were no other patrons at the moment.

“So, Sakura-san,” the man began, straining some noodles before placing them back in the pot again. “What exactly happened?”

“Huh?” she blinked, not sure what he was talking about.

“You’re nervous.”

“Oh…” she looked away, suddenly realizing that he would know her well enough from the numerous times she’d been there with Naruto. “Nothing too important, Oji-san! You don’t need to worry about it!”

He gave her a doubtful look before sighing and shaking his head, "Sakura-san, I know you well enough now to know that it’s important, but do what you wish. Just don’t regret anything later.”

She gave him a reassuring smile and stood from her seat to leave, “Of course, Oji-san. Ja ne!”

“He’s a nice boy, although quiet and broody,” he commented in parting to her and she couldn’t stop the blush that spread across her cheeks.

“Aaa, he is,” she agreed.

“Well then, have a good one, Sakura-san. Enjoy the festival.”

“You too!” she called out as she left, waving to the man as she headed towards the hospital. Her shift would start soon and she needed to get there early to look over any paperwork that was waiting for her.

I watched the light glint off the woman’s oval-shaped glasses as she bent her head, the glossy lips pulling back into an arrogant smirk. The woman’s confidence was admirable but annoying and I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. This woman couldn’t be trusted. Her association with Sasuke was still enshrouded in a veil of mystery but whatever it was for, it couldn’t be good.

And something about the woman just made my skin crawl.

“So, you know Sasuke-sama eh?” those peach-colored lips said, the smirk still present but she is now looking at me straight in the eye.

I did not bother to answer, only watch the woman’s every move. Her abilities were unknown, but knowing Sasuke, she would be powerful enough to keep an Akatsuki member occupied while he fought his brother.

“Judging by your hitai-ate, you must be a former teammate of his… Hmph. No wonder he left,” she remarked, giving me a once over and finding me to be hardly worth her time. I gritted my teeth, refusing to give in, refusing to let her get to me. I couldn’t lose my cool when I was so close to finding out where he was.

“What? Nothing to say? Tch. Pathetic. You stop me and then don’t even have the courtesy to say why.”

“Where is he?” I asked her softly, despite that I had meant for it to be firm and strong. I sounded like some heartbroken teeny-bopper, not like the kunoichi I am supposed to be and not like how Naruto would have sounded. She must have noticed too because her smirk quickly turned into a sneer of contempt.

“None of your business, girly. Why don’t you just run along home and play with your dollies? You’re in over your head as it is.”

“Where is Sasuke-kun?” I asked again, firmer this time and I see the hate in her eyes at the suffix I used—have always used.

“Forget him, toots. He’s obviously forgotten about you.”

“Where is Sasuke-kun?” I asked for a third time, knowing I must sound like a broken record now. And it annoyed her. Good.

“Why are you so interested in him? He left you! He left all of you! Why are you trying so hard for someone who doesn’t give a shit about you?”

I clenched my fist and meet her gaze with a glare. What business is it of hers anyway? From what I could tell, she only cared about herself and her own ambitions. “You wouldn’t understand,” I said with a sneer almost identical to the one she’d given me earlier. She glared back at me, her brows knitting over the rim of her stylish glasses.

“Kami, you’re such a child,” she muttered, shaking her head, some of her dark locks sweeping over one shoulder. “Seriously, little girl. Go home. Hop on your little tricycle and go home, before you get hurt.”

Tricycle huh?

“Can’t,” I said simply and watched as the dark-haired woman sighed in exasperation.

“And why the Hell not?” she all but screamed at me.

I smirked, “It’s missing a wheel.”

“A wheel?” she murmured in bewilderment, her face scrunched up in confusion.

I took a deep breath to calm myself and find my center, knowing that very soon, she’d lose her patience with me and I’d been in for a hard fight. But that was okay… That was okay because she made me realize that I really couldn’t go home until we found Sasuke. He made our family whole—me, Naruto and Kakashi-sensei: it feels so wrong without him… And he was the third wheel to my tricycle—the tricycle that strangely represented my family… Those three guys kept me safe, made me feel special and supported me. They pushed me to push myself, to achieve things that I wouldn’t have bothered striving for if left to myself.

“Sasuke is the last wheel to my tricycle. If I go home, he’s coming with me,” I said, watching as her face melted into an expression of distaste and annoyance.

“Tch.” The woman began to slowly shift into a fighting stance, signaling to me that her patience was gone.

“Now,” I began, also shifting into a stance of my own. “You going to tell me where Sasuke is, or are we going to dance?”

“Don’t sound so confident, sweetie. This won’t take me long.”

“I’m not confident,” I admitted and the woman seemed taken aback by my confession. “I’m just determined to fix my tricycle.”

And she must have seen in my eyes that I, Haruno Sakura, would travel to the deepest bowels of Hell and back to bring Uchiha Sasuke home, because she suddenly began to take me seriously.
