Author's Notes:
For some reason, I have worked far harder on this story whilst I was merely playing around on Sassychan but the latter turned out to be better...welll based on the reviews anways...Personally, I kinda like this story better though...I'll hold nothing back in making the two of them...I swear on it!
DISCLAIMER:
I'll just take a second of your time here to say that I do not own Naruto. And even though I farted just now, I mean it.
Chapter 7: Meet the Air Country's Guardians
Naruto wanted to grumble about Sasuke and his stupid conspiracies. However, he did not want Sakura to get the wrong impression. He didn't want her thinking that it's a burden to carry her.
Because it is not.
It's just that he didn't like to get as near as this to her. Considering the act that they have done earlier, plus the fact that his senses are going haywire whenever he gets a hair breadth's length away from her, a Sakura pressed onto his back is the last thing that he needs right now.
Sakura's irritation is growing by the second. Though it maybe a teensy bit nice being draped on topf of Naruto's back like his own personal towel, she'd rather be back on her feet again.
It's all because of Naruto's never-ending muttering. It is incessantly grating on both her ears and nerves. If he didn't stop soon, she'd be forced to permanently damage his vocal cords.
Sakura glared at the blond's head. Deciding that her plan of action is too harsh even for someone like this kitsune, Sakura, instead, soundly smacked his head.
"Would you quit that?" she snapped, making Naruto's incoherent blabber instantaneously cease. Sakura indulged in a few mumblings of her own before launching her tirade back to Naruto.
"I didn't exactly agree with this plan as well. And, from what I can remember, you were the one who slugged me on your back. If you are gonna complain about it, place me back on the ground."
Naruto was stricken with guilt. The one thing that he carefully avoided doing was the one thing he (unconsciously) ended up doing.
If that isn't the stupidest thing to do, he didn't know what. In his hand, he created an imaginary hammer and bonked himself with it. Twice.
Naruto no baka! His mind screamed loudly.
Naruto no baka! An even louder voice screamed, he just couldn't fathom whence it came from. Well, doesn't matter. He would keep on berating himself since he doesn't really know what he could say to Sakura-cahn now.
Naruto no--
"Naruto. You. Are. Doing. It. Again!" Sakura punctuated each and ever word to get her point across. "If you have something in your mind, speak up! Quit mumbling!"
Sakura nearly tore her hair out in frustration when the kitsune still adamantly refused to speak. Naruto's definitely getting too much of Sasuke's company for comfort for the kitsune is picking up habits like 'stay mute if Sakura is asking complicated emotional problems,' or 'steadfastly ignore her if you don't know how to answer Sakura' or 'I'm handsome, but I am currently mute, deaf, and blind so I therefore could not speak, hear or see you.'
There are rare moments (even rarer than the bug Naruto had tried to catch before together with Shino, HInata and Kiba to trace Sasuke) when Sakura appreciates Naruto's loud-mouthedness and frankness. And, for the record, this is certaily one of those moments. If Naruto couldn't see that, she would be forced to knock some--
"I...", Naruto began, unbeknowingly cutting into Sakura's thoughts. He had wanted to tell her how much he liked carrying her, but didn't know how to phrase it so it wouldn't make him sound like a hentai.
It was an impromptu speech and he had given himself barely enough time to process what suitable statement to use.
I like you riding my back. Ugh, definitely a perverted sentence.
I like the feel of your arms around me. Hmmm, isn't that a line from a song?
I have always wanted for us to end up like this. Now this is trash.
Argh! He shouldn't have opened his mouth in the first place! Now he is caught in a trap with a concept but had no way of executing it!
Why oh why didn't he have teachers who has a romantic bone on him? How in the world did he get stuck with three teachers, two who are perverts and one who hadn't had any relationship at all? Where in the world would he learn stuff for things like this?
For the third time, NAruto once again is mumbling something under his breath. SAkura didn't bother to point it out to hiim this time as the other two times didn't seem to have any effect on him at all.
What she did though was, she listened closely and tried to decipher the thing that is occupying his thoughts this much. She failed to decode the jibberish he mouthed off the first time. She focused harder, straining her ears to hear only his voice and ignore the wind whistling around them.
Then she heard him...and almost regretted listening in.
...like the feel of your arms...around me
His words resounded in her ears, making her mouth go dry and her breath hitch in her throat, Her heart thumped so loudly in her ears, it was defeaning.
What in the world! She shouldn't be feeling this way! This is not right. He is like a brother to her!
Well, you shouldn't have thought of that before you kissed him! her subconscious retorted.
Have you ever heard of 'carpe diem?' she retorted back. Smugly, she smiled when seconds passed and her subconsicous didn't rear its head back again.
She had spoken too soon, however, for her inner voice came back at her in full vengeance. It screamed at her: Think before you act, think before you make decisions, think before you kiss someone...!
Sakura shut her eyes closed and tightened her grip on Naruto as she tried to block the voice out. If she hadn't been competely aware of her surroundings, she would have ended killing the baka she was starting fall for. As it was, Naruto is choking in her tenuous grip, feebly trying to extricate her arm from his neck.
"S-sakura-chan..." NAruto whispered hoarsely.
Sakura quickly loosened her hold. "Sumimasen!" she exclaimed, helping Naruto rub his sore adam's apple.
Naruto twisted his head so he could face her. Pitiful tears were streaming down like waterfall from his eyes as he said, "I understand the bonkings and the occasional slap, Sakura-chan, but strangling me? Why, sakura-chan, why?"
Seeing NAruto's comical expression, Sakura couldn't suppress the smile that itched to paint itself on her face. She was so caught up in regarding the blond's features that she didn;t notice Sasuke faliing into step beside them.
"The question that should be asked, dobe is," Sasuke said his deep voice rumbling the words out, "What did you do this time to make herw ant to cut your circulation off?"
Naruto shot the last living Uchiha a dirty look, wondering at the back of his head whether his reaction came from being pissed by Sasuke's sarcastic remark or having been interrupted with his alone time with their one and only kunoichi. Surely, it is the former for he wouldn't be able to bear being alone with her (rampaging hormones aside) since he seem to be doing more harm than good to their friendship.
But isn't she the one who kissed you this time?
Naruto shook his head, trying to dispel that bothersome arguement from his mind. NOw is not the time for psychoanalysis of his and Sakura's actions.
"Would you beleive it, teme, if I say that I didn't do anything?" NAruto asked wryly. He awaited for another cryptic Uchiha response, but was surprised by the source it came from.
"Actually, you were mumbling," Sakura corrected him softly, flushing when Naruto's words came back to haunt her.
..like the feel of your arms around me...
Aware of the warmth spreading through her face, SAkura bowed her head and searched desperately with her fingers something to fiddle wioth so she could occupy her mind with something else.
Conveniently enough, the zipper of Naruto's jacket was there within reach to suit her purpose.
"Did," Naruto swallowed hard, "I say anything specific?"
Swear started to form on NAruto's brow when when Sakura didn't immediately answered. Her words earlier are making him queasy as though some undigested residue settled heavily in the pits of his stomach.
Could she have heard the stupid commentary that was running through his head that time? About the piggy back ride?
Oh no. Not that one Kami-sama. Not any of those staements is appropriate to be heard. Not fit for human ears! Not even fit for anything that has ears!
...though everyone of them is true...but they are not for Sakura--chan to hear...
...lest she feels disgusted by him again...
"You could have said something Egyptian for all I know," Sakura said, injecting as much indifference in her voice. She even threw a shrug in to make it all the more believeable. She had her gaze averted so she didn't really know if Naruto or Sasuke bought it.
Sakura would have happily went on imaginaing that she had them buying her lie, hook, line and sinker. Unfortunately, though, this had been dashed by one single scoff from their stoic teammate.
Thank Kami-sama for whatever snide remark he had in mind he didn't actually voiced out.
Naruto, on the other hand is a who different story. Upon hearing Sakura's answer, all breath left his body in one single whoosh as he expelled it in one relieved (?) sigh.
NOw, whyever would he feel relieved for?
Any inquiries they might have asked to delve more into the issue as hand were temporarily placed on hold as the ground below them shook. The blast came from their right and from Sakura's calculation, exactly from the direction where the Air Country is located.
Seems that theirn presence is not at all wanted. This is a bit unsettling since Tsunade-sama had said that the leaders of the Air Country had been informed of their arrival and intention.
Despite the imminent danger, NAruto and Sasuke sprang towards the source of the blast. No further amunition was sent their way as they got closer, which they took as a good sign.
MOments later, they have arrived in a clearing where four women stood.
Where four gorgeous, buxomy women stood, Sakura thought, her jealousy getting the better of her as she felt Naruto slowly standing up from his crouched position, his attention never leaving the figures in front of them
