Naruto: Ninjas In Love (Sasuke x Oc)

Trouble on the High Seas

(A/N: Day 2 of our 12 Days of Christmas updates)

Sakura's Pov
We continue running behind Idate

"Hey I can smell salt on the wind" Naruto says

"It's the ocean" I say

We slow down and head towards the stairs to the beach

Sasuke holds out his hand to Shiori, who happily takes it

"Uh" I react

"Careful, It's slippery'' Sasuke says

"*Giggle* No it's not. You just want an excuse to hold my hand, don't you?" Shiori giggles

"Maybe. But it's not like I need an excuse to hold you" Sasuke says coolly

They continue to flirt with each other as we walk down the stairs

'Hmm, maybe if I'

"Oh no, I'm slipping" I say, slipping purposely

'Come on Sasuke, help me'

"Are you alright Sakura?" Naruto asks, catching me

'Naruto! Cha! You're always getting in my way!'

I angrily punch Naruto

"Oww, what was that for?!" Naruto says rubbing his head

"Don't get in the way next time!" I shout at him

"Huh?!" Naruto says confusedly

I look at Sasuke and Shiori's direction, they are still holding hands. Sasuke is looking at the sea, while Shiori's smiling at me but her eyes are criticizing me as if to say 'You expect to beat me and take Sasuke away with a cheap trick like that?'

'Her smile always looks so sweet yet she can give off different meanings with it'

I look away from Shiori and look ahead

"What's that out across the water?" I ask

"It's the half way point. Modoroki Shrine over on Nagi Island" Idate answers

"We can probably get ourselves there within an hour from here" Shiori says

"One sec." Idate says, running towards a shack next to the stairs

Idate calls out, an old man opens the door, he and Idate have a conversation. Idate asks for a boat which the old man happily agrees as he points behind us. They continue to have a sincere conversation with Naruto listening to them. I turn towards Sasuke and Shiori again who's a little far from us, snuggled close to each other

"I hope there won't be sunflowers on this both" Shiori jokes

"If there were and you get another allergic reactions, I'll take care of you, so you don't have to worry" Sasuke says

"I know you will. I can always count on you" Shiori smiles as she hugs Sasuke's arms

'She said we should be professional but she's always flirting with Sasuke on missions'

I look angrily and enviously at Shiori

Idate finishes talking to the old man, so we head for the boat

Without a second thought, Sasuke helps Shiori get on the boat

I run up to him

"Hey Sasuke, could you maybe help me get on too?" I ask

I feel Shiori glaring at me

'There's no way I'm gonna let this chance pass by'

"Why? You can get on on your own" Sasuke says coolly
