The Different Kinds of Kisses

disclaimer; I don't own Naruto

Six year old Minato was on his way home, after a long day at the academy. He had recently started and so far was enjoying the lessons.

' I can't wait to tell Dad about today's lesson.' he thought happily.

*Sniff*

Minato paused for a moment, to see if he had heard wrong.

*Sniff**Sniff*

' Sniffing? Is there an animal around?' wondered Minato, as he searched all around him.

*Sob*

' Crying?' Minato followed the sounds, towards a bush. He poked his head through and found out what was making that noise.

It was a little girl. She had shoulder length pink hair.' Odd.' mused Minato. Was wearing a red dress, that matched her ribbon framing her hair. She had to be a year younger than him and looked like a civilian.' Cause I have never seen a clan member with that hair.' expressed Minato, as he moved forward to get a better look at the girl. Her hands were wiping her eyes, that he could not see, nor much of her face.

However, as he was getting closer, he stepped on a twig, causing it to break. At the sound, the girl's head snapped up and Minato's electric blue eyes, met viridian. The girl looked startled, before shrinking away.

Minato was so confused as to why the girl looked so scared, that he nearly missed the words she spoke.

" A- are you g- going to make fun of m- me too?" she questioned softly.

Taken aback by the question, Minato tilted his head slightly." Why would I make fun of you?"

The girl looked like she was contemplating, whether or not to tell him, before finally speaking.

" M- my forehead...people say it's too big and c- call me ugly."

Minato walked up to the rosette. He raised his hand slowly, as to not alarm her, and pushed her bangs out of the way, so he could see it. Her forehead was larger than most, however, in Minato's opinion, it didn't make her look ugly at all.

" I don't think you look ugly." voiced Minato.

The girl sniffled." Really?"

" Really. In fact, I think it makes you look cuter."

The girl's eyes were casted downward." Everyone else seems to disagree."

Minato thought for a moment on how to cheer her up. Instead of replying, he leaned forward and kissed her forehead.

The little girl's head snapped up, eyes wide, and a deep flush covering her face.

" Everyone else is not your friend, but I want to be." he smiled, a faint dust of pink covering his cheeks.

" Do you mean it?" she asked with wide hopeful eyes.

" I do. My name's Minato, what's yours?"

" Sakura."

"Well then Sakura-chan, would you like to get some ramen with me?"

Sakura beamed." Hai, Minato-kun!"

Alright, I know I should update ANH, but it's hard writing with little motivation. However, this idea popped into my head and I decided as a side project, I will be working on this, so at least you're all getting MinaSaku feels.

I should be posting a new chapter for ANH before next week is out. Also, I might be posting a new chapter for BNB, which has been edited with some added scenes and a better layout, soon. Just give me time guy and I will deliver the updates.

Thanks for reading and please review.
