[Non-canon Fanfiction]
Sakura's hand was being tugged along without her consent, and even if she could pull it free, she didn't. Naruto was on a rampage and god help them if Sakura could stop him from getting ramen when he wanted it. She settled for burying deeper in her scarf, a blue one that clashed with her pink hair and red coat something awful, but Naruto had offered it and she hadn't really cared much about the color. She toyed with changing it's color but that would required pulling her hands out of her gloves.
Well she regarded the gloved hand in Naruto's gloved hand. She could pull free if she really wanted to, but she didn't feel like putting forth the effort and she didn't hate ramen really. It had become a food that conflicted her in those three years. It had never failed to make her a tumble of emotions and memories and she hated that. But this was different. Because Naruto had a hold of her hand and he was here and most of all, Naruto's other hand held the arm of Sasuke.
She gave him a quick glance and he was blank with just a hint of scowl. She giggled and let Naruto pick out some ramen place in downtown NYC. Her eyes glanced up at the sign for a moment. Rai Rai Ken. Her language skills failed her for the moment and she settled for breathing in the warm air.
"Why are we coming here?" Sakura shook the snow out of her hair and gave Naruto a weird look. It was standard to protest it, even if she didn't care, "Don't you get enough ramen at home?"
"Not real ramen, now sit down! Come on asshole, sit down too." Naruto gave Sasuke a shove and Sakura had to grab Naruto and shove him onto a stool before they got into a fight again.
"We didn't need to be dragged to some place because you wanted ramen idiot." Sasuke shot back and quietly ordered. Sakura ordered some pork ramen and she watched Naruto order at least three kinds of ramen. She hid her smile by taking off her scarf and shoving it back at Naruto.
"Besides, this is our thing." Naruto gestured with his chopstick and Sakura had to agree. It had always been their thing. She just ate her soup and Sasuke did as well and they huddled together again in that old familar way.
Sakura liked ramen again.
