"Looks like you're staying here for the night."

Sakura immediately blushed. I'm staying over night at Sasuke's… awesome! "Are you sure?"

"There are plenty of extra rooms."

"O-okay. Thanks."

"Hn." Sasuke turned the TV off and walked out of the room. Sakura followed. He led her up stairs and into a huge bedroom with a queen sized bed.

"Wow."

"Come down in half an hour for dinner."

"Are you cooking?"

"Yeah."

"Let me."

"You don't mind?"

"Nope. You're letting me stay here so I'm cooking dinner."

Sasuke nodded his head and led her to the kitchen. It was very big and it had an island in the middle with two stools. "I don't have much."

"That's fine, I'll just scrape together anything I find."

Sasuke walked out and went to his room. He could hear the sound of pots banging and cabinets opening and shutting. He walked over and lay back in his bed. What a day. What am I supposed to do now that Sakura's staying over night? What have I gotten myself into? Sasuke felt himself doze off, but was soon awaken by a knock at the door.

"Sasuke the foods ready," said a sweet voice behind it.

"Hn." Sasuke got up and walked into the kitchen. At the table were two plates of chicken with gravy and a side of salad.

"Enjoy," Sakura said with a big smile on her face. Sasuke took his seat and they both began eating. He found it to be really good, but was too stubborn to admit it. When he was done, he looked at Sakura to see her staring at him. They sat there for a moment and gazed into each other's eyes. Then Sakura got up abruptly and took the dirty dishes.

"I'll wash them," Sasuke offered.

"That's all right. I made it; I wash it."

Sasuke walked over to her and toke the dishes, "You go relax. You're my guest."

"All right, you win." With a sigh, Sakura walked out and went into the living room.

After Sasuke was finished he went in after her. He found Sakura sitting on the same couch from earlier, watching TV. Sakura was flipping through channels and found nothing that interested her. Then Sasuke remembered that he had bought Dead Silent from the movie store. He went and got it out of his movie case and put it in the VCR.

"What are you doing?"

"We're watching a movie."

"Okay. Which one?"

"Dead Silent," Sasuke answered as he dimmed the lights.

"I heard that's really scary… is it?" Sakura was now nervous; she never was very good with horror movies.

"I don't know, maybe." Sasuke sat next her and the movie started. As Sakura predicted, it was scary. They were now watching the part of the first killing. Sakura kept telling herself not to scream.

"AHH-" Sasuke put his hand over her mouth and whispered in her ear.

"Remember don't scream or she'll rip your tongue out."

Sakura pulled his hand off of her mouth. "Hey, don't tease me!" They continued to watch the movie and Sakura managed not to scream. Finally the movie ended.

"Not bad," Sasuke looked over at Sakura and she looked terrified, "You look like you just saw a ghost."

"Haha, very funny," Sakura said sarcastically. She closed her eyes, but only saw the image of the girl so instead she reopened them. Sasuke was no longer next to her. "Sasuke?" She got up and walked down the hall. "Sasuke if this is some joke I'm going to kill you." It was dark and she couldn't see very well. 'If you see her, don't scream, or she'll rip your tongue out at the scene.' Damn it! I have to stop thinking that! Sakura felt a hand grab her shoulder. "AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

"Shut the hell up."

Sakura turned around to see Sasuke. She wrapped her arms around him. "Oh thank god! Where did you go?!"

"I only went to the bathroom," Sasuke answered, just barely escaping from her grasp.

"Oh, sorry."

"Why don't you go to bed, it's getting late."

"Right. We have to meet Kakashi-sensei and Naruto tomorrow morning." She said good night and went to the room she was allowed to stay in. After about an hour she finally managed to fall asleep, but only to have nightmares all night.

Sasuke however fell asleep right away, but luckily he had a few minutes before hand to think about Sakura.

----- Sasuke woke up from a loud bang from down the hall. He got up and looked out into the dark. On the ground, a few yards away, was Sakura. He could barely see her, but after a minute his eyes adjusted to the dark. She was rubbing her head and didn't seem to notice him just yet. "What are you doing?"

Sakura looked up startled. "Hi Sasuke. I woke up."

"So?" Sasuke walked over to her side.

"So, I wanted something to drink and since it was so dark I walked into the wall."

"Was that the bang?"

"Yeah." Sakura got up.

"I'm going back to bed." Before Sasuke could walk away, he got a hug. This one was different. Any other hug that Sakura ever gave him was bone crushing, but this one had a warm, gentle touch. Not really knowing what he was doing, Sasuke returned the hug. This startled Sakura, but she enjoyed it.

"Thanks for everything," she whispered in his ear. They released each other from their grip and said goodnight.
