Sasuke sat on a thick tree branch, thinking about what happened.

"I need to start being nicer towards her.. " he said. "I don't want to hurt her anymore." He jumped off the tree, and made his way out of the forest.

When he was walking in the village, he spotted Kakashi, who was walking towards him. "Hey, Sasuke." Kakashi said, waving. "How have you been?"

"Hn. It's been good Kakashi."
Sasuke said.

"How has Sakura been?" Kakashi asked. You could see him smirking through his mask.

Why did he ask that? Sasuke doesn't know. All he knows is that he made her cry, and she's probably feeling bad right now.

"Sasuke, have you been treating her good?" Kakashi asked him.

Sasuke thought about that question. Does saving her from a evil guy count as treating her good? Maybe. But does making her cry in a bad way count as treating her good? Definitely not, but Kakashi couldn't tell him that happened. Or he'll probably start acting like Naruto. But less loud.

".. Maybe." Sasuke decided to say. "It's complicated." Kakashi scratched his chin. "I see.. Having a bit of trouble asking her out? I can help you."

Sasuke wanted to say no, but before he could, Kakashi grabbed his arm and dragged him away. To a spot where people barely were.

"So, you wanna ask a lady out, Teme?!" Naruto yelled. (Yup, Naruto was there.) "Easy!! I'll tell you how!!!"

Naruto cleared his throat.

"First, you gotta walk up to a lady, and say: hey! Let's go out and get ramen!! She'll definitely say yes, and-"

"Naruto, not everyone loves Ramen like you." Sasuke interrupted.

Naruto frowned, and Kakashi cleared his throat.

"First, gently walk up to the lady with flowers in your arm, and chocolate in the other. Hand the flowers and chocolate to her, and give her a compliment. Then you Politely ask her out." 

Sasuke blinked.

"Oh, and make sure you're wearing a suit as well." Kakashi said. "Make sure you look handsome."

Sasuke sighed. "There's no way in the world  I'm doing that. Do you know how embarrassing that is? Especially for me. If I walked up to Sakura acting like that, she'll think I'm sick. Deathly sick. And especially after I made her-" Sasuke stopped talking. He almost said something. Something that does not need to be said!! Naruto already knows because he saw it, (which was annoying) but what will happen if Kakashi hears what happened?

Kakashi raised an eyebrow. "Made her what?" His eyes widened. "Sasuke, don't tell me- you-"

Sasuke thought Kakashi found out, but the look on Kakashi's face looked like he was thinking of something else.

"Ugh, no, not that!!" Sasuke yelled. "I, may have.. Made her cry."

Kakashi's eyes widened, then they went back to their regular size. He stared at the Raven haired man, who was standing there, looking nervous. "Sasuke," Kakashi said. "Why?"

"I don't know.." Sasuke said.

"Because he's a tsuder-"

"Shut up, Naruto!!"

Naruto pouted.

"Ah, Sasuke." Kakashi said. "Why don't you ask her out?"

"No way." Sasuke quickly said.

"But Sasuke."

"I said no way!!" Sasuke yelled.

"What's wrong, teme?" Naruto said, smirking. "Are you scaredddd?"

Sasuke growled and fought the urge to punch Naruto in his stomach face. Then turned to Kakashi.

Kakashi smiled through his mask.

"You have to, Sasuke." He said. "Hokage's orders."

"I'm not asking her out." Sasuke said.

"Disobeying the Hokage?" Kakashi said, putting on a serious face.

"Those are stupid orders though!!" Sasuke said, raising his hands in the air.

"Sasuke, what are you going to do when you see Sakura with a man?" Kakashi said, making Sasuke's eyes widen. "And a family?"

Sakura? With another man? That isn't him? Another family? Kids? That isn't his?! The thought of Sakura with another man made anger boil up inside of him. He didn't know why he was feeling this way. He didn't even ask her out! ... Yet. But wait, is he feeling jealous? No. There's no way. Why is he suddenly feeling this way? Feeling like that any man that dared to place his hands on Sakura should die? Die? That's brutal!! No way.. Is he being possessive? Overprotective? Is he-

"Uh.. Sasuke?" Naruto said, that made Sasuke snap out of his thinking. "Are you okay?"

Sasuke cleared his throat. "I'm fine." He said.

"Are you sure? Maybe what Kakashi said got to you!!" Naruto laughed, and Sasuke just pushed past him, Punching him in the gut.

Naruto groaned in pain and held the spot that ached with agony.

"Idiot." Sasuke said, folding his arms. "I'm going to go do something."

Sasuke walked away, and Naruto and Kakashi just stood there.

"Do you think he's asking her out?" Naruto said.

"Probably."

Sasuke walked up to Sakura's house. What was he even doing here? Was he seriously about to ask her out? No, no, noooo.
He hesitated to knock on the door, but he swallowed his fear down and banged on the door.

He heard footsteps approaching, so he backed up from the door and waited for it to open.

"Coming!" He heard Sakura's voice say.

The door knob twisted, and the door slowly opened.

"Hello- Sasuke-kun?!" She said, shocked. "Uh.. What are you doing here?"

"Hn." Sasuke said. "Just let me inside."

You could see blush form on her face, but it quickly went away and she moved out of the way so he could come in.

He kicked off his shoes, and sat on the couch.

What was he doing here anyway?
