I h-had a lot of fun practicing with Ino-chan. She is v-very good at kicking th-things. And she has good f-form.

I told Sakura-chan I would w-write her something. This is my f-first time so I'm n-not sure how it turned out but I h-hope you like it. I'm s-sorry I wasn't a-able to get anyone to look at th-this first...


Naps

Naruto yawns first, stretching loudly before lying back on the soft ground. The fire cracks and snaps at otherwise silent air and Sakura stares up at clear yet tiny stars. In the midst of nervousness and uncertainty, she feels quiet, even safe. The air is warm around the small bonfire so she leans into it, hugging her knees. She doesn't register anything else until she hears Sasuke calling her name.

"What?" she answers blearily, knowing this is probably not the way a ninja is supposed to react to questions, even late at night.

"Does he always snore this loudly?" asks Sasuke, frowning a little.

Sakura looks at Naruto for the first time that night. He snores just a few feet away from her, a faint smile on his face. She grins at Sasuke, who looks more tired than usual. "He's worn out. I think today's training was too much for him."

Sasuke smirks.

She doesn't talk and neither does he, until she feels sleep pulling at her muscles, urging her quietly to the ground. Her forehead lies against Naruto's arm and she wants to pull back, but it's too nice here to move anymore. Closing her eyes, she takes one last look past Naruto at Sasuke, who is glancing at them with an awkward look on his face.

Too tired to ask what's wrong, she slides into sleep. She doesn't wake up at all that night, feeling strangely warm when she wakes - strangely solid and connected. Her eyes meet Sasuke's closed ones when the sun rises. She gasps, whispering "Sasuke-kun" in soft tones, raising one hand to Sasuke's brow and brushing back the hair covering his face. He winces but doesn't move until she comes closer, nose bumping gently against his.

Then he's pulled back, a familiar sound echoing through Sakura's thoughts as she sits up. Her eyes widen when she sees Naruto, one arm wound tightly around Sasuke's waist, holding him firmly. Sasuke stretches a little before placing one sleepy hand on top of Naruto's, as if to make sure Naruto doesn't pull away.

It's difficult to battle down the envy creeping down her spine, flushing her cheeks and causing her fists to tighten but as she watches Naruto nuzzle Sasuke gently at his neck, she sighs, covering her mouth as it turns into an exhausted yawn. As much as she wants to sleep again, she thinks it might be best to get up and head out. But then Sasuke's brow furrows and he makes a little noise as he turns his head back, resting it against Naruto's and she thinks maybe she'll let them sleep like this a little longer.
