Disclaimer: Naruto belongs to Kishi

A/N: Hey everyone! This was originally Chapter 1 of my story Awkward, but I've moved the other chapters to be a separate multi-chapter fic. This will remain a one-shot as a prequel to Awkward. This story and Awkward both take place during the blank period between Chapter 699 and 700! This has been edited to fit the current Canon plotline, and I would say after Sasuke Shinden, AKA after The Last: Naruto the Movie. Anyway, here it is! Please enjoy, The Incident!

The Incident

This lady really doesn't get it, does she? Kakashi sighed.

Missions had been scarce lately, and the only current request at the Hokage's office was the fat woman, going off again about her damn cat, always stuck in a damn tree. Because of the lack of missions, genin were focusing on their training, while the higher-ranked ninjas were assigned whatever was available.

Well I know if I make Naruto do it again, he'll just rasengan her through the wall…

"WHAT KIND OF NINJA BUSINESS ARE YOU RUNNING, MISTER HOKAGE? YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP A POOR LITTLE CAT OUT OF THE TREES!" yelled the woman.

Kakashi glared at said woman's bouncing rolls of fat in disgust. All he wanted to go was get back to reading Make-Out Paradise. Just as he was about to make up a lie about no one being available, Sai casually strolled in. He came to drop off a confirmation form for the mission he had just completed: dog walking.

Sai immediately recognized the fat woman. "You do realize that your cat will keep running away no matter what?"

Kakashi sweat-dropped.

"I beg your pardon?" said the woman in shock. "My kitty loves me! How could you ever say such a thing?"

"It's obvious. You're incredibly obese, and you do a horrible injustice to it by incessantly squeezing it."

"Shut UP, Sai," Kakashi looked at him pointedly.

The fuming woman glared at him, then snapped back to the Hokage, "MARK MY WORDS, KAKASHI, YOUR LITTLE NINJA BUSINESS WILL FALL APART ONE DAY, AND I WILL BE THERE TO LAUGH AT YOU AND THESE HORRIBLE MONSTERS THAT ARE OUR SO-CALLED SAVIORS!"

"You'll have a heart attack before that day comes," stated Sai nonchalantly.

Kakashi looked over, "SHUT UP SAI."

"I HATE YOU ALL!" Yelled the woman as she stomped out the door and slammed it behind her.

"Yeah, you have a good day too…" said Kakashi, rolling his eyes. He let out a deep sigh and turned to the hopelessly blunt boy. "You know I'm never going to hear the end of this, right?"

"Do you happen to know where dim-wit and pretty boy are? The training fields, I suppose?" He asked, ignoring the masked man's previous statement.

"Yeah, you can 'suppose' that, always training without purpose, those idiots." replied Kakashi, picking his beloved novel back up. "I guess they have to waste their energy on something. It's not like either of them are getting laid."

"What about Naruto's wife?"

"Hinata's away visiting Suna with her family"

"Hmm. I see. Well I suppose it won't be much longer for Sasuke," Sai responded, putting his fingers on his chin, in apparent thought.

Kakshi looked up at Sai in interest. "Really now, how so?"

"Shocking, I know, I thought he was homosexual."

"I'm pretty sure he's not gay, Sai."

"Well I know that now."

"Meaning?"

"Well although his hair—"

"Shut up, Sai," Kakshi rolled his eyes. "I mean his supposed interest in a woman."

"Oh, yes. Well it's quite obvious, but I really don't support Sasuke's choice. You see…"

"Ugh Sasuke, I'm so fucking bored and hot!" exclaimed Naruto. The guys had just finished sparring and were sitting under the shade on the training field. Unfortunately, in addition to the lack of missions, the temperature had hit highs for the Summer.

"Hn."

"I mean I'm really hot."

"Just go home if you're so hot."

"Oh, I'm not complaining about the heat. I'm just saying that the ladies love me, but yeah, the heat sucks too…" Naruto grinned at his own joke.

"Idiot." Sasuke shut his eyes and leaned back against the tree trunk.

"They can all get in line though. I already got my lady." Naruto put his arms behind his head and grinned, looking up at the sky. "I really want her to let loose a little more though, and be more comfortable with me. Do you have any ideas on what I should do?"

"Yeah." Sasuke responded, eyes still shut.

"REALLY?" Naruto snapped his head back to Sasuke, clearly excited that his brooding friend actually cared.

"Yeah, shut the fuck up."

Naruto deadpanned, "You need a girlfriend."

"Not interested."

"That's a LIE." I see that look in his eyes when he sees Sakura...he knows she's a completely different person than she used to be. I mean she's strong, smart, talented, and she's really hot, no doubt, for someone who's like my sister...but wait if Sasuke's like my brother... is that like incest…?

Sasuke ignored Naruto's statement, but there was a long pause afterwards. He opened his eyes and glanced at his 'best friend'. Why does that knucklehead always have a stupid look on his face?

No, you know what, whatever, thought Naruto. I need to make this happen, because Sasuke obviously sucks ass in the love department. Gotta help a brotha out. Naruto was looking ahead in the distance and saw a couple of kids walking by with ice cream. Suddenly something clicked in his head, and he smirked evilly.

Yet another stupid face...

"Hey Sasuke, this heat really is a killer. You know what I could really go for?"

"Hn."

"Ice cream!"

"Then by all means, go..." said Sasuke as he closed his eyes again.

"Got any money?"

"No."

"Oh that's right. You don't take your wallet with you to the training grounds," said Naruto mischievously. "Well that's ok, I know a perfect way for us to get free ice cream!"

Us...?

"Sakura's probably leaving the hospital soon." She had been helping there lately because of the lack of missions.

"What does that have to do with-"

"Everyone knows that Sakura has a weakness for kids. Sooo, we'll just transform ourselves into little kids, I don't know, like seven years old, and ask her to buy it for us!"

"Right...you go have fun with that."

"I said WE!"

"No."

"Why NOT?"

Sasuke sighed. "Three reasons: one, I don't like ice cream. Two: it's a waste of time, and three: you're an idiot.

"Those are stupid reasons!"

"Naruto, why would I want ice cream if I hate it?"

"You're just chicken."

"About what."

"You're not brave enough to try a little stunt like this."

"Right."

"Ok fine. It's cause' you're avoiding Sakura. You can't stand to be around her."

"She's not THAT annoying anymore…"

"Oh no, it's not because of that," Naruto smirked. "It's because you LOVE her."

Sasuke snapped his eyes open and glared at the fox boy.

"She gives you feels, doesn't she?" Naruto prodded.

Glare.

"She's sexy, isn't she?"

Glare.

"She makes you HOT, doesn't she?"

GLARE.

"You wanna do dirty-"

"Fine, I'll get the damn ice cream with you, if it makes you shut the fuck up. Dumbass."

Naruto grinned ear to ear. "Leggo."

Wow there really isn't any work to be done. Sakura had just left the hospital, pondering what to do next. No one is severely injured...I guess I could go to the training fields...or maybe I'll just grab Ino or Tenten and go see that new horror movie that just came out. It would be such a blast watching Ino freak out. Sakura snickered to herself. Maybe after a while, I could just make sure there aren't any missions left...pft I doubt it...but I swear if I see that God-forsaken cat lady again, I'll-

"Excuse me, lady?"

Sakura turned around to find the two cutest little boys she'd ever seen. The one who had just spoken had messy blonde hair and big blue eyes. The other had dark onyx locks and deep black eyes that could draw anyone's attention. They looked vaguely familiar, but she couldn't tell for sure because of the dirt on their faces, probably from playing around.

"Sorry, but my friend and I have been out all day in the heat, and well, we walked by the ice cream stand and saw all the other little kids getting ice cream, but we don't have any money with us...so we were wondering if a nice lady like you would let us borrow some. Pretty PLEEASEE" The blonde pouted, and of course, Sakura could not refuse.

"Of course! Tell you what, I'll go with you, and you can pick out what you want."

"Really? Thanks lady!"

"No problem," Sakura smiled warmly.

As they walked over to the ice cream stand, Sakura noticed the black haired boy hadn't said a word, and he seemed to be avoiding her eyes as if he were seriously pissed about something. Sakura just shrugged it off.

"Can I have a scoop of vanilla?" asked the blonde boy.

"How about a double scoop?" suggested Sakura with a smile.

"Yes please!" exclaimed the boy.

Sakura loved more than anything else to put smile on a child's face. She got a cone from the vender and handed it to the boy.

"And what would you like?" Sakura asked the other one.

Before he could answer, the blonde cut in, "Oh he doesn't want ice cream."

"Really, are you sure?"

The other one nodded.

"He wants something else," said the blonde.

The dark-haired boy looked at him questioningly.

"You see, he thinks you're REALLY pretty, and he wants a kiss from you, but on the lips because he thinks it won't count if it's on the cheek."

Before the other boy could deny it all to hell, Sakura said, "Aw! That is so cute!" and she gave him a peck on the lips.

The boy was frozen from shock with his eyes the size of tennis balls.

"Anyways, I should probably get going now," said Sakura with a laugh. "Let me know if you need anything else!"

As soon as she was out of sight, the blonde burst out laughing. There was a sudden puff of smoke, and the two young men were standing there, one about to fall over from laughter, and the other had a look in his eyes that could kill.

"Naruto, I'm going to massacre you."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE! AHAHAHAHA! YOU WERE AS RED AS HINATA"

Meanwhile Sasuke was planning to chidori the boy's ass all the way to Sand.

"Whew, don't you just love kids?" Naruto said, wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.

Then just as he was about to start on his ice cream, a kid came running by, grabbed it, and threw it on Sasuke's head.

Naruto's eyes became dark. "So it's agreed. We both hate kids."

Sasuke pulled the ice cream off of his head and smashed it on to Naruto's face.

Back in the Hokage' s office, Kakashi leaned back in his chair. "Well isn't that interesting?"

Sai was about to respond when Naruto barged in through the door, and Sasuke walked in behind him.

"Guess who just had the best day ever!" exclaimed Naruto.

"I'm guessing you?" Asked Kakashi with a raised eyebrow.

"Noooo, but I can't say the same for ma boi Saaasukeee!"

Said "boi" rolled his eyes as he walked over to the bulletin board to check for missions.

Naruto launched into his story, and Kakashi's smirk grew wider by the minute, while Sai listened, just as amused.

"-and Sakura kissed Sasuke straight up on the mouth, and he was totally RED! I can't believe Sakura fell for that! I knew putting dirt on our faces would work! Right Sasuke?" He looked over to find utter shock on Sasuke's face.

"Helloooo, Sasuke?" Naruto noticed the other two were staring wide-eyed in the same direction. "What are you guys looking a-" Naruto stopped as he turned where they were looking.

There, standing in the doorway, was Sakura.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" she yelled, fuming, as she tried to process what just happened.

Sai grinned, "That's incredibly awkward."

"Shut up, Sai," said Kakashi, losing patience for the boy's untimely remarks.

"It probably tasted better than ice cream, no?" he asked with an innocent smile.

Everyone turned.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP SAI!"

Awkward...
