Chapter: 3 of 6
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto because I would've been filthy stinking rich.
A/N: Again, I've read my email and surprised that a lot of you have either added my story (this one you're reading or Dear Dobe) as one of your favorite stories in your profile. Thank you very much. I'll do my best even more. I'm pumped up (haha)! Anyway, I would like to apologize if ever my updates would get slower and slower. Classes are starting so it would take most of my time. But don't worry; I swear I will finish this fanfic before July or August.
Before you begin, I'll inform you that when you read Sasuke's POV, he'll be referring Naruto as Ino. A simple reminder from me so that you wouldn't get confused.
Chapter Three
Naruto's Point of View
Naruto checked his reflection at the store window. He felt more comfortable wearing jeans and a normal shirt (a girl tank top, unfortunately). It would've been better if he didn't have to look like a girl though.
He has a "casual" date with Sasuke, and they have to meet at four road intersection of the park. For some peculiar reasons, his heart is pounding; his stomach is leaping as if a frog resides inside him.
"Stupid bastard… Making me wait for him," Naruto grumbled while fixing his extensions.
He was thankful that it was his day off, so he didn't have any problems about the bloody Uchiha. Otherwise, he would have been sitting his ass off, obliged to tell Kiba about his Friday (no way in hell will he tell dog breath).
"Oi dobe."
Naruto turned around and saw Sasuke, looking smug and handsome in a light yellow, buttoned-down shirt and dark denim. Naruto felt his skin tingle at Sasuke's close proximity.
'What the hell is happening to me?'

Sasuke's Point of View
Sasuke admired silently the blonde's ensemble. She looked cute in hip-hugging jeans and orange tank top. Her golden hair is tied into a high pony tail, accentuating her long neck.
"About time you arrived, teme. Didn't you know I had to wait for 20 whole minutes?" she complained.
"Sorry, Ino. I had to organize some things in the office." Ino hmph-ed and was about to walk away when Sasuke grabbed her hand.
"Wha-What are you-" Ino blabbered, turning crimson. Sasuke smiled gently. "Dobe, it's a little crowded. We should be holding hands so that we wouldn't get separated," Sasuke interrupted. His smile widened when he saw that she blushed even more that the color may have reached the tips of her hair.
"Yeah, yeah. You're lucky I'm allowing you to even hold my hand. In- err, I don't allow other guys to even just look at me," Ino stated. He leaned closer, letting his mouth near her ear.
"Of course. You gave me permission because I am Uchiha Sasuke."
"You smug cheeky bastard!" Ino bellowed. She lets go of Sasuke's hand and started chasing him on the streets.

"Yum… Ice cream's the best…" Ino moaned while licking her spoon. Sasuke chuckled, taking a sip of his coffee.
After the game of tag, Sasuke offered to buy her something to eat at the nearby café as a peace offering for his tardiness. The blond immediately accepted his offer, proclaiming that she loves ice cream and cake.
"You sure you don't want some, teme? It's really good," Ino offered politely (probably feeling a little guilty). Sasuke shook his head. "Not hungry."
"Really?"
"Yeah, and besides, I hate sweets," he grumbled and took another sip of his coffee.
"What would you like to eat?" she asked brightly.
"Tomato."
"Eh?"
"Yeah, that's it. Sweet, juicy, enormous tomato."
She turned to her cake. "Weirdo," she muttered, taking another bite. "Suit yourself."
He eyed her carefully and admitted to himself that she looks more beautiful in casual outfits. She didn't look like the type who likes big, stuffy affairs anyway.
Again, she took another big bite. Sasuke took note that the blond have plump, pouty lips. They look so damn kissable. Maybe they'd taste like strawberry…
He paused and re-thinks his previous thoughts. He'd never think like that! He was too gentlemanly, and girls are too annoying. Damn stupid Icha Icha!
He swallowed thickly and stared at the busy blond. His heart thumped loudly; his vision is spinning. Why is he starting to remember Icha Icha Paradise Collection 1: Spring Break Edition? It's like when Sachiko and Maiko did *beep* to the protagonist at the *beep* and started doing *beep* with his *beep* and finally did a *BEEP*!
"Teme! You're bleeding!"
"Don't worry. It's perfectly normal."
And the world turned black. For the first time, Uchiha Sasuke fainted due to Icha Icha Paradise. He has thought of something perverted, which means the world is going to end.

Normal Point of View
"I can't believe you fainted, teme!" Naruto exclaimed, laughing harder as he saw Sasuke blushed slightly. It was just unbelievably funny!
When Sasuke's head hit the table. Naruto thought the blood dripping on the table was from his head. Thinking Sasuke might suffer from a concussion, he started screaming for help. Two waiters and the manager rushed by his side and decided to perform first aid,
But when they saw the blood was dripping from his nose, the staff just told Naruto that he just needs some ice. As the trio left to get some ice, each of them debated on the possibility of the Uchiha being a pervert.
The three looked at Naruto and agreed that his date was hot. If only she had bigger bust size…
Sasuke rubbed his forehead with the ice pack the waiter prepared. It seems like he was calming down, no more heart pumping or perverted images on his head. He threw the ice pack to the garbage can and looked at his date.
"Is there any place you wanted to go?" Sasuke asked. Naruto was about to say no when he remembered that the fun park is open today. He wanted to find out if Sasuke likes wimpy suck-ass rides or adrenaline-pumping rides.
"Let's go to the fun park! I heard that there are cool rides there!" Naruto stated excitedly. Seeing Sasuke frowned a little, he decided to withdraw his suggestion. "But if you wouldn't want, it's okay!" Naruto said a little too brightly.
Sasuke chuckled softly. "It's okay. I'd like to try going to a fun park for once," Sasuke said gently. Naruto scowled at his statement. Like to try? For once? That didn't sound right.
"Umm… You have never been… to a fun park?" he asked. Sasuke smiled sadly. "To tell you the truth, never. My… parents weren't exactly around when I was growing up, so I had no choice but to stay at home."
"Where were they?"
"… They died a long time ago."
Naruto's eyes widened with surprise. Died? You mean Uchiha Sasuke, the most eligible bachelor, has never experienced a normal childhood life?
"How about your brother, Itachi? He must be free to take you there."
"He was running the corporation at the age of fifteen. He was too busy to take me into one."
Naruto started to regret what he had thought of the Uchiha a few years ago. He wasn't a rich, spoiled child where his parent's just let them do what they want…
… He was just… Lonely… Just like he was…
Naruto grabbed his hand, earning a curious look from the older man. "Then… Let's enjoy a lot today! I want you to have fun!" Naruto yelled determinedly.
Sasuke looked surprised at the moment, but then smiled at the blond. He was touched at her effort to make him enjoy.
"You don't have to be so considerate for me… But thank you."
Naruto fought the blush rising to his cheeks. It's just embarrassing! He had to admit; Sasuke does look handsome when he smiles. But this smile… It felt genuine.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
The two dashed to the fun park, buying two tickets for their entrance. As they went in, Sasuke looked like a kid who just received plenty of presents for Christmas. Naruto scanned his vicinity. What would be a good ride for Sasuke?
"Hey dobe, what's that pink cloud over there?"
Naruto turned to the direction where the raven's looking at and giggled. "That is a cotton candy."
"What's that?"
"It's a candy. It's made of sugar, but I'd like you to try it later," he smiled.
"Hn."
"Oh, can I pick a ride for the both of us?"
"Sure. What would that be?"
"A roller coaster!"

Sasuke's Point of View
He is not afraid, not scared, and is not backing out. I mean, just look at Ino! She doesn't look scared. In fact, she looks excited for the ride to start!
Sasuke had this little fear of heights. When he was younger, his cousin, Sai, dared him to climb the tree. He agreed and climbed the tree immediately.
At first, it didn't scare him that much. He has been climbing trees ever since just to pick an apple or read a book on the branch. As he climbed higher and higher, he wanted to see how far he had gone. Looking down, he realized he was 12 feet above the ground. Fear engulfed his heart, crying to Sai that he is terrified.
Itachi saved him, scolding both at Sai and himself not to do crazy stuff without supervision again. For Sasuke, he swore he'd never climb higher than four feet.
The ride roared to life. Sasuke felt his heart racing. It was going to be okay. Besides, it didn't look scary at the moment. He's going to live, right?
As the ride kept chugging, Sasuke had spotted the path going waaaaaaaaaaayyy down. He can't do this. He's going down really fast. Oh fu-
"!"
As the ride ended, they headed towards the exit. Ino gasped for air.
"Wasn't that fun?" she exclaimed. Sasuke was pale as a ghost. He was getting sick.
"Sasuke, are you al-"
Sasuke rushed to the nearest trash bin and threw up.

Normal Point of View
"It's the second time I've been humiliated today."
"Mm-hm."
"You owe me big time."
Sasuke was walking Ino home to her apartment. They both stopped by the entrance of her house just to spend time a little longer.
It was a pretty good date, even better than expected. Well, except for a few blunders along the way. All in all, it was fun.
"I enjoyed today, dobe," Sasuke said in a cool voice.
"Surprisingly, me too," the blond admitted. Sasuke smirked.
"Do I get a goodnight kiss?"
"Wha-"
Cutting him off, he pressed his lips against the surprised blond. After the initial shock, he too kissed the raven back. Sasuke pulled back, a grin painted on his face.
"Goodnight, dobe. See you tomorrow," Sasuke said coolly. He rode on his Porsche and drove away.
Naruto covered his lips with his hands. He licked them unconsciously and cursed softly.
"What the hell?"
A/N: Yup, this is the end for chapter three. Don't you think Sasuke having fear of heights a little… awkward? Well, he certainly can't be afraid of ghosts. Claustrophobia is a little hard to make (I meant the scene, ok?). I'm sorry; I just love to make Sasuke embarrassed, because he would look adorable. XD
Don't worry, chapter four is currently being written, but do be patient. It's opening of school, and I'm at a crucial year. So, read and review! ^^
