"Hey, Ugly..."
"Hey Sai.. Fancy seeing you here at the library again."
Sai looked up from the book he was perusing through to clap eyes on his only female teammate.
"Oh. Hey, Ugly..." He smiled; she gritted her teeth and held herself in check.
"S..So, what're you reading now?" Sakura sounded strained as she faked casualty, pulling out a chair to sit beside the raven-haired ninja.
"A book of "common slang"... There are some entries here though, that make no sense to me," Sai admitted, flipping to a dog-eared page (Sakura huffed in disapproval, such lack of respect for books in such behavior!). He pointed at an entry and Sakura bent over to read.
"'Gigglesnort'...?" She inquired, a slender brow quirking upwards in an expression that seemed caught somewhere between interest and confusion.
"Yes. 'Gigglesnort.' Tell me, Ugly, can you explain to me what it means? This definition makes no sense to me."
"It's.. Kind of.. Well.." Sakura tapped a finger to her lips, leaning back in her chair, "I guess.. when you don't really want to giggle out loud, but you can't really help but snort in.. amusement..?"
Sai gazed at her quietly, soaking in her words like a sponge. Exactly what situation would merit a 'gigglesnort'? She merely gazed back with a shrug.
"In.. what situation would you not want to giggle out loud then, Ugly?"
"Well.. I don't know.. like.. maybe when you're somewhere like here, in a library. We're supposed to be quiet, right? So laughing out loud would be inappropriate."
"I see.." Emotionless eyes drew once again to the book held in his hands. He was really curious as to what this 'gigglesnort' business entailed. Perhaps.. perhaps Sakura would be willing to show him a gigglesnort..
Sakura suddenly felt very uncomfortable when Sai's gaze slid slowly from the book, up to settle on her midsection. Her eyebrows furrowed as her lips began to dip down into a frown, just what was the ninja planning to do?
Nothing could prepare her for the squeak of surprise that leapt out her throat when Sai's hands shot forward and his fingers dug into her sides. The digits wriggled in an eccentric fashion that sent shivers up her spine when a peculiar, recognizable feeling began to bubble in the back of her throat.
"Sai! What are you- Tee... snnk- heeheee! Stop it! SNnfkkhhghhh!" Sakura clapped a hand over her mouth, stifling the giggles that threatened to break free. Her eyes were watering as she kicked her teammate in the jaw, the chakra-infused wallop jettisoning him in a straight trajectory across the room.
Sai's body splattered in a mess of ink on the wall, and she soon found herself still subjected to his merciless tickling. The girl positively writhed in his grip, her hands pressed to her mouth- tiny wisps of giggles trickled through her fingers and soft snorts escaped her nasal passages as she fought not to guffaw like a donkey.
Sakura looked up with a tear-streaked face, jade eyes met ebony.
Sai smiled, releasing her much to her relief.
"So, that's what 'gigglesnorting' is, huh? What an ugly noise."
Sakura's face flushed and the artist was left pondering for a moment; was it anger or embarrassment or something akin to arousal that made her flush? His answer would be given to him soon enough.
This time, Sakura's kick connected, sending the boy on a one-way-trip to the library's second floor (much to the chagrin of the librarian) by means of flight.
Sai was left stumbling away with a swollen jaw, bleeding skull and severe whiplash; but having learned a few new things that day: No matter how much he thought he'd come to understand women, he still didn't.. and "'Gigglesnorts' are 'cute', damnit."
