Chapter Six: Surprises
Our favorite pink-haired kunoichi was currently training with her teammates on the training grounds and a certain someone kept roaming around in her mind.
'When he told me he could make things change...I don't know. I just felt so scared. It was as if he was going to ask me out or something. Which I totally shouldn't be afraid of, right? After all, I do like him but...I just don't understand why I wanted to stop talking to him all of a sudden. What if he thinks I don't like him now?' Sakura thought attentively, more focused on her thoughts than her training, and she felt depression building up inside her.
Both Sasuke and Naruto were sparing with each other while Kakashi was Sakura's opponent.
For a moment, she forgot that she was even training with him until he hurled a kunai-knife towards her, and she dodged it with much ease.
"You're going to have to do much more than that, Sensei!" she stated with a smirk as she jumped backwards in mid-air, then did an impressive flip, and landed onto the ground safely.
"Showing off won't help you much," he retorted strictly, about to dash at her; however, they all heard an feminine voice.
"Sakura!" the playful voice sang, causing the four of them to direct their attention to the silhouette that was advancing towards them, and once they got a clearer view of the figure, all of them realized that it was Ino.
The blonde came to a halt once she was in front of the pinkette and she chuckled mischievously.
"I saw you with your boyfriend yesterday!" Ino declared enthusiastically, flashing her a mischievous smirk, and a bubbly giggle had escaped her lips.
Sakura's mouth opened slightly as she felt herself twitch and immediately felt her entire face flush of scarlet-red. Embarrassment was consuming her as she could even feel her heart pounding violently and she grew rather anxious.
In other words, she wanted to crawl into a hole, and die.
How lovely.
"H-He's not my boyfriend!" Sakura denied flustered, attempting to sound fierce; however, just saying those words made her cheeks heat up even more.
"But I saw you guys hugging!" Ino stated puzzled, her sapphire eyes becoming wide, and she blinked her eyes repeatedly.
Sakura gasped as her pupils constricted and her cheeks heated up even more.
"W-We w-were... U-Uh..." the pink haired kunoichi blabbered pathetically as she averted her emerald eyes downwards at the ground and she felt utterly mortified.
Sasuke's narrowed his onyx eyes at hearing Ino's statement and his eyes then grew fierce.
"Sakura, why don't you just admit he is? After all, you are blushing," Ino observed as a smug smirk crept across her lips and she chuckled while placing her hands onto her hips.
"Sakura, do you really have a boyfriend?" Kakashi questioned curiously, immense interest lurking in his voice, and he raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Yeah! Who is it, Sakura-chan!? Tell me! Tell me!" Naruto demanded childishly, firmly clenching both of his fists, and he huffed.
"I DON'T have a boyfriend!" Sakura denied flustered, clenching both of her fists, and she turned away from the group.
"But Sakura-chan!" Naruto whined and he then sighed in defeat.
"Sakura, you're always so stubborn! It's infuriating!" Ino complained bitterly, immensely annoyed, and she growled.
"Just...don't worry about it..." Sakura reluctantly whispered and she sighed.
