I said I wouldn't tell her, and I'll stick by it.

She's probably gonna keep asking though, but.. if he doesn't want her to know...

[It's still not right though.]

Then all we can do is respect that wish. [ He's asking a lot of them.

For someone who has to be honest with everyone he meets, this may be too big of a task for Naruto. That's why she's here to try to convince him otherwise. ]

It might be wise to lay low for a little while.

Yeah, I reckon so.

[He is doing a good job of avoiding certain people in Blackthorn already so he may as well add Tenten and Neji to the Pokegear-avoiding list for now. Sigh.]

Oh--hey. Here's that place. The one with the ramen y'know?

Yeah, your parents won't mind us eating out will they?

[ Bad time to bring it up now that they're here, but who cares other than her. ]

Mm, but Naruto? You're not upset or think I'm being controlling--wait, am I being controlling? I don't mean to be, but this situation... ugh, what a mess.

[ She appears more distressed by asking him all of this than she was earlier. ]

Nah, it'll be fine.

[Besides he is a teenage boy, if his parents end up cooking later he'll probably have room to eat that too.

He waits until they step into the shop before answering.]

I'm not upset with you, if that's what you think. And I'm not at Neji either? I just think she should know. Because she's his team mate. You'd wanna know if something happened to me, or Sasuke right? Even if it as bad.

I won't allow anything like that to happen to you in the first place, Naruto.

[ That's always her answer to this and it comes out firm, resolution, and with no room to argue. Even if she was worried about that hours ago, he's safe now and back at her side in the world of Pokemon. What he doesn't know need not be mentioned. ]

So... I guess if it were... [ No, she can't even say his name. She's distant now from the thought and the boy that usually fills it. ]

I know, and I trust you with that y'know? But I'm just saying if. If!

[These hypotheticals won't work if you keep bringing actual logic into them, Sakura!]

...If it was what?

It doesn't matter! [ She's done Talking and Thinking about Sasuke for now. ] I guess in the end I would beat it out of people who refuse to tell me.

So if Tenten beats you up, you have no choice but to tell her!

[ Wow, this logic is like on Tsunade's level. ]

[YUP. You sure are Tsunade's student.]

Geez, what is it with you girls and just wanting to beat us boys up all the time?

[ Proudly at that! ]

Huh, I'd beat up girls too! [ Sakura is an Equal Opportunity kind of gal. ]

For example, I'd beat up Tenten for you if she whooped you one!

Why can't we just skip all the beatings? [He'd probably get beaten again for trying to stop Sakura beating on Tenten, who would likely beat on him some more too. Go pick on Neji!]

[ That's because there's no use in beating a dead horse, Naruto. ]

Where's the fun and adventure in that?

One of these days, I'll K.O. and I won't wake up. You're just like my Mom!

Maybe that time you'll tell me the war is over and that Sasuke attended a wedding with us!

Who's getting married?!

Huh?

Well, don't a lot of people end up getting married after a war? It just seems a natural thing to happen. You learn to appreciate people you've never noticed before in a time of a crisis and that's how a relationship forms.

What kind of wedding would Sasuke attend?

.....Maybe we get married.

[ Y U P ]

To Sasuke? [ ???????? ]

No I meant you and me-

HEY.

What did you mean by that?! [Were you thinking about him marrying Sasuke? OR YOU MARRYING SASUKE. SAKURA.]

Edited 2013-08-31 04:24 (UTC)

We were talking about Sasuke and weddings so I thought you were saying the three of us would get married.

[ Waving a hand. ] Which is just stupid! Three people can't get married to each other!

[ Note how she frustratingly dodges the topic of who she would marry. ]

I don't know! But I don't wanna marry Sasuke!

[Naruto why are you getting so worked up about this it isn't even happening.]

Then who do you want to marry?! [ Cause obviously she's missed all the subtext in the previous chapters. ]

And what's wrong with marrying Sasuke?! He comes back!

I thought we were gonna married!

[A pause. FOR EFFECT.]

Without Sasuke! He wouldn't even want to get married anyway!

How do you know what Sasuke wants unless--[ Shaking an accusatory finger at him. ]

The two of you can finish each other's thoughts already?!

[ Too busy zoning in on the prospect of Naruto stealing Sasuke to notice the implication. Just like canon. ]

What's that meant to mean?! Sakura-chan you aren't making any sense??! [AND WHY ARE WE YELLING? HE IS SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.]
