His eyebrow elegantly rises as he replies, "Why do you believe that?"
And once again, she is struck by the irony of situation, of this conversation, of them.
"Because everyone is good. No one is ever completely evil." It is something she thinks of all the time. She needs to believe that it is true, or else her job would be hard to do.
"Really? So, if someone killed a child, you would believe that they are good?" He takes a small sip out of his glass, the red wine slightly staining his lips.
"Well, I would," she pauses for a moment, hesitating. The entire time he stares at her, with his dark eyes, as if judging her every movement. "I would still think they had some good."
"…" He remains silent at that.
Looking at him, with his pale skin, raven-black hair (with spikes at the back), and his dark blue shirt, she is struck by how…handsome he is.
Or rather, pretty. He is very pretty, like a girl. Even more so than she herself is, with her coral hair and green eyes.
When her friend set her up on this date with Uchiha Sasuke, Sakura wasn't sure if she wanted to do it. And when she found out his job, she knew that she definitely didn't want to meet him.
He is a cop. A police officer. A person who carries out the law.
No matter how she tried to phrase it, all it managed to spell was trouble.
But now, she is a little glad she came. He is really stunning, and even if he is a bit rude, he still has manners. Overall he is better than anyone else she had dated.
And best of all? He doesn't just talk of himself and his job. He talks with her, about all sorts of things.
And she finds herself enjoying the date. The date between a cop and herself.
And that is ironic.
She looks up when she hears a soft thud of the wine glass, and sees that Sasuke is getting ready to leave.
"My shift is early tomorrow," he says, replying to her unasked question.
"Ahh…" she breathes, letting out a disappointed sigh. Slowly, she gathers her bag and coat, and then also starts to leave.
"It was a pleasant evening," he comments, opening the door for her.
"Yes, it was." Too bad it has to end.
"Maybe next time we can continue our discussion," he continues, quickly striding away from her.
Sakura just stares at his fading figure, surprised. Does that mean she has another date?
Maybe. Maybe that means that he will call her in a few days. Or maybe it is just a joke, a sad, cruel joke that men like to play.
But for now, she has a job to get to as well. And it won't due to worry about whether or not he will call, or if this is all just a misunderstanding, or if they will never see each other again.
She still leaves her phone on just in case when she starts her job.

He didn't call. Sasuke doesn't contact her at all, leaving her hanging for days, picking up the phone and expecting to hear his voice, feeling disappointed when it isn't.
It was a little foolish of her, she thinks, to expect him to, for he was probably just polite when he told her "Maybe next time."
Really, she shouldn't even be thinking of him at all. He is bad for her. They only had one (magicalbeautifulamazing) date, which lasted for a measly (wonderfully long) two hours.
And besides, she doesn't know much about him anyways. He is a stranger. Why even concern herself on whether or not he will ask her out again?
So when she bumps into him while going to the grocery store nearby, she is a little surprised. Especially since he lives nowhere near her or the store. Especially since for some reason she is starting to flush a little.
Oh dear. She thinks she's having a crush.
"Hello, Uchiha-san," Sakura starts to say.
"Sasuke," he interrupts, "Uchiha-san reminds me of my father."
"Ok. Sasuke-san it is," his name rolls of her tongue and she rather likes the taste of it. "Call me Sakura, then."
She looks at him, taking in his appearance, and notices that he is wearing a black t-shirt and jeans. They fit loosely around him, but still manage to show his form. If he looked good in his formal clothes, then he looked positively delicious in his ordinary clothes.
Sakura notices that he's eyeing her grocery bags, and smiles.
"I just went shopping. The fridge was empty," she pauses for a moment, wondering if she should ask, but does so anyways, "What are you doing here?"
She doesn't ask why he never called, even if that question needs to be answered, but he still seems to notice the question in her eyes. "Just buying a snack," he replies, and it's a lie and they both know it, but she smiles all the same.
"Really? What a coincidence," she grins a little as he looks away from her then, "Well, you can go to that coffee shop over there, if you want something like that."
He looks back at her, replying, "Is it any good?"
"Why don't I show you?" Those words surprise her, but when he smirks, she knows it is worth it.
As they leave for the shop, she doesn't really mind that all she has is a ten-minute coffee break and the promise of another meeting.

A/N: As you can see, it was getting a little long. Was Sasuke too OOC? I'm not sure (I hope he wasn't.)
