Love's battlefield

Chapter 1

Sakura woke up early next morning thanks to her alarm clock which really irritated her since she was having such a nice dream (I'm not even going to say what it was about). She got up her bed and took a bath, brushed her teeth, brushed her hair and put on her normal pair of clothes...sleeveless red dress with tight shorts.

She made her breakfast and ate it. She looked at the clock and it was only 7:10am.she was supposed to meet up with Naruto, Kakashi and Sasuke at 8:00am. But this was her normal routine so she left the house without hesitation and went to their usual meeting spot.

As she walked towards the bridge, she saw someone standing there and looked again as she got closer. It was Sasuke. Well duh, he always arrives early to train sometimes. Anyway, she said to Sasuke with a very cheerful smile

"Good morning Sasuke-kun!"

"Morning"

Sakura stood there smiling at him then went to face the rising sun. it was beautiful.

Sasuke was leaning on the ledge of the bridge, astounded by Sakura's beauty as it was shown when the rising sun had touched her skin. Sasuke started blushing but good thing nobody noticed this. He said in his head.

"Sakura is really beauti—"

His thoughts were broken by the loud sound of feet pounding on the floor and a shout that said:

"Ohayou, Sakura-Chan! ...Sasuke-bastard!" Jealousy overtook Naruto as he saw Sasuke with Sakura being alone in the bridge together.

"How dare you stare at Sakura-san like that!" Naruto gave an icy glare at Sasuke. Sakura looked at Naruto in surprise. Sasuke noticed this and said

"What are you talking about dope!" he said this in hope that he could change the topic…he prevailed.

"Who you calling dope, bastard!"

"Stupid ass!"

"Ass-wipe"

"Bitch!"

"Okay, stop it you guys! You're irritating me." The 2 just stared at her and stopped. It was amazing on how she, a woman, take charge of the two genins. Two hours have passed as they waited for their sensei to come. Finally out of nowhere, a poof of smoke appeared and their sensei was their. He made up this weird excuse..

"Sorry I was late. Well, on my way I heard my favorite song playing in the radio (a/n-do they even have radios? Anyways, just bear with me) and I just had to listen—"he was cut off by Sakura and Naruto.

"LIAR!" They shouted at him in unison. (Except Sasuke, who was keeping his cool)

"Right well our mission today is to bring our charge to the river country" Their sensei told them as if it were no big deal.

"Nani? Kakashi-sensei, that country is so far!" Sakura screamed at her teacher. Kakashi answered back that it would be alright since he knows short-cuts.

He also said "It would take us about 3 days." Sakura gradually said to herself "Good! I still have time to make it to the festival and Sasuke-kun to come with me!" Naruto asked…"So where's our charge?"

Kakashi answered back at Naruto, smiling, "Here!" A man around their age came out from nowhere and greeted them with his hottest smile "Hello! Glad to meet you!"

Sakura was astounded by his hotness. His eyes were brown, he had pearly white teeth and his hair was black,. He came up to Sakura and kissed her forehand.

"Good morning, miss, allow me to introduce myself. I am Otaru Shinami. Who might you be?" He was as hot as Sasuke, and Sakura was about to faint just like any other girl would. She couldn't help but stare at him but finally she answered

"I-I am H-Haruno S-S-Sakura-a" She was blushing furiously. She was observing his features. Sasuke was kind of getting impatient with Otaru and got jealous when he saw Sakura staring at him like there was no tomorrow. Otaru bent down to kiss her forehand and then looked behind Sakura (Who was looking like a tomato already because she was blushing so much)and noticed Sasuke and Naruto standing there and glaring at him. Naruto was so furious at what Otaru just did and shouted "HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY SAKURA! YOU'RE GONNA PAY!"

"Otaru just stood there and suddenly raised his right eyebrow and smiled. He 'casually' answered with his 'casual' tone "Why? is it not right for a man to do this certain gesture to a woman when introducing himself?"

Naruto was speechless. "Whatever, let's just go." Sasuke said in his monotone voice.

They left. As they walked, Sakura was still too shocked, Sasuke just stared at the path in front of him and concentrating on something in his mind, Naruto was still speechless, Otaru was thinking of ways to win Sakura's heart and Kakashi-sensei was reading his perverted book, "Icha-Icha paradise."
