Sasuke as predicted did not want to be a part of whatever impromptu dinner they had. But his presence wasn't an option.

So she dragged him with a chakra enhanced fist around his shirt while Naruto was laughing his ass off from seeing his rival struggling in Sakura's hold.

"Tadaima!" Sakura announce herself, before putting away her shoes neatly. She dust her clothes and send a glare to both boys who was already squabbling behind her.

"Okaeri, Sa-chan! Oh, you brought guest!" Her mother greets her, fully geared out with her yellow frill apron. Her gaze stills on Naruto for a second too long for Sakura's liking.

Right. Sakura was so used to the beloved 7th Hokage of Konoha she forgot at this age he is boycotted around Konoha because he's the kyubi container.

"Okaa-san, this is my teammates. Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke." Sakura emphasize on the my, seeing her mother flinch and recollects herself.

"Of course, come in boys!" Her mother invites them in, and Sakura gave an extra encouraging nod to Naruto.

"Nice to meet you, H-haruno-san." Naruto stammers, his hands are awkwardly holding one another. He doesn't do manners well, but he tries to be polite.

"Please to meet you as well, Naruto! And you," Mebuki turns to Sasuke, smirking when it dawns on Sakura what she's about to do. "You're the infamous Sasuke our Sa-chan has been going about."

Sakura's cheeks burned with embarrassment. She had forgotten that to completely play her role as the fangirl, she had obsessed over Sasuke and had announced her love for him to her parents too. Sakura couldn't afford to look at Sasuke now, but if she did she would have seen that his ears were also slightly tint pink.

"Okaa-san." Sakura says while gritting her teeth. A teasing smile was on her mother's face when she turned to face Sakura.

"Can they stay for dinner?" Sakura asks, hoping this could mean a topic change, and Mebuki nods. "Of course! I've make extras too."

The boys awkwardly shuffled around Sakura's house before ending up sitting on her couch.

"Make yourself at home, I'll take a quick shower." Sakura tells the boys who both obediently nods to her.

By the time she returns, Naruto is setting the table and Sasuke is stirring a pot of soup and her mother is nowhere to be seen. It's kinda odd to see the young version of them being so domestic. She's used to seeing their adult version doing domestic things that she didn't think it would be so cute to see Naruto struggle with the placement of plates while Sasuke is on Sakura's stepping stool to stir the pot.

"Where's my mother?" She asks. It wasn't Mebuki's type to leave the guest to attend to her cooking.

"In the bathroom." Sasuke replies, focus still on the soup he was still stirring. Her mother must have left some strict instructions to him.

"And I'm back! You did a good job Sasuke-kun! And thank you for setting up the table Naruto-kun!" Mebuki came back and ruffled both boys hair like she would do Sakura's. Sakura watch as both boys flinched at first from the touch before relaxing when they realised what it was.

"Tadaima!" Haruno Kizashi announces himself at the front door, and Sakura turns to greet him

"Okaeri, tou-san!" She offers him a hug and he hugs her back.

"Oh, who are these two gentleman? Are they your boyfriend?" Kizashi teases Sakura to which Sakura elbowed him playfully.

"They are my teammates."

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, sir! I like your hair!" Naruto stared wide at her father's pink star shaped hair.

"Uchiha Sasuke," Sasuke quietly introduces himself .

"Ah, Sakura's teammates! Thank you Naruto! It's not cheap to maintain this style! Anyway, I'll be thanking you both in advance. I hope both of you will have Sakura's back as much as she has yours. She's my precious girl and her safety is always my concern." Kizashi tells them, gently caressing Sakura's back.

"Sir yes sir! Of course, Uzumaki Naruto, the future Hokage will not back down from this responsibility. Thank you for trusting your daughter to us!" Naruto replies and Kizashi nods in approval

"Naruto, you made it as if my father proposed my marriage to you!" Sakura points it out, cheeks flamed with embarrassment again. Kizashi's chuckles filled the room.

And that was how their first (out of many) team dinner went.

Sakura may not know what will happen tomorrow, but as she watches Naruto holding his stomach from laughing too hard and Sasuke whose cheeks burn bright red from Kizashi teasing him, Sakura thinks she doesn't mind figuring it out tomorrow with them.
