Sauske's P.O.V
_____________________________
"Team 7!", I heard Kakashi Sensei bellow at us from afar.
"Ugh he caught us again", Sakura sulked, chucking the bucket filled with paint to Naruto, "no fair".
"Someone is gonna have to take blame, and it won't be me!", she asserted dominance over us.
"Well it's not like you didn't have fun painting the banner of Ino's face on it with two horns and a thick mustache", Naruto scoffed, wiping off the remnants of sweat from racing back here.
Sakura looks back at me and pleads, "Oi Sasuke you know Ino started it, this could be my last strike!".
"Don't look at me", I huff, looking away, "you coulda been a big girl and just ignored Ino's childish pranks".
"Ugh easy for you to say", she rolled her eyes as Kakashi inched closer and closer, catching us red handed.
Suddenly I look over my shoulder at the fourth member of our squad, which yes, usually a squad consists of three people, but here we are after years..
Adjusting the frame of her glasses, Karin Uzumaki rises to her feet and stands in front of Kakashi.
"Sensei", she began as we held our breath, "Naruto bought the paint, Sasuke gave the safe signal, and Sakura took pleasure in ruining Ino's birthday banner".
So much for a snitch...
My eyes leveled into slits as I took in her stance, so calm and unprovoked.
"And you just sat back and watched it happen?", Kakashi inquired.
"Yes, precisely"
He sighs in defeat and looks at Sakura as she awaits her verdict.
"You are all to be punished", he says, looking at our faces intently, "but there's an occasion, and for that, all of you are forgiven"
"How lame", Karin mutters.
"Hey Karin shut it would you!", Naruto whisper-yells.
"Sensei what's the occasion?", Karin asked daringly, "will you finally bless us with a face reveal?".
"K-Karin-"
"Never", he smiles childishly, "but there is going to be an important...", his eyes search our anticipated faces.
"Heh???"
"...wedding..."he finishes off in a whisper.
On spot, Naruto and I look at each other and as if on instincts, we punch air as we squeal. We jump onto Kakashi Sensei and hug him.
"Oh Sensei, you have no idea how long we've been waiting for you to bless us with news like this", Naruto expressed, comedic tears in his eyes.
I myself wiped off my sarcastic alligator tears and added, "yes, that's true, we're happy that you've finally found a suitable match!"
Then, Naruto and I clasp our hands together and take a bow, begging, "and so Sensei, in light of this glorious revelation, we, your loyal students, ask that you finally abdicate your claim to your limited edition, hard-cover copy of the Make-Out paradise book to us and we promise you that we'll use for the greater good".
With a twitching eye, Kakashi echoes, "for the greater good huh?"
"They had this speech rehearsed haven't they?", Sakura remarked.
"How pathetic", Karin scoffs, "that you two are giving up your pride to some hormones"
Glaring at her, Naruto struck back, " as if you don't give your manners to PMS during that time of the month"
Karin had blushed and Sakura simply laughed.
"Hmph, deviant", Karin remarked, giving us the cold shoulder.
"Heh?", Kakashi looks back and forth before a soft smile broke out under that mask, "I'm not the groom of this occasion, but even if I were", his eyes narrow into serious slits, "I'd never give the two of you my precious limited-edition of Make-Out Paradise"
"Ugh I knew you'd be that cruel", Naruto muttered.
"Guys, ok, now stop with the antics, sensei has something to tell us", Sakura inserts, shutting us up.
"Ah thank you Sakura, now, team 7 , as I've mentioned there's going to be a wedding..."
I space out for a moment, thinking about some flashback before Kakashi's next sentence takes my mind by storm.
"Come again?", I ask, not sure if what I heard was true.
"Itachi Uchiha, is to wed the noble Hanabi Namikaze in an epic wedding a week from now".
He then takes out his limited edition of Make-Out paradise and says, "guess he'll need it more than me now"
