Chapter 3: Mall Fun

Time passed so fast after that, before I know it was 5, and I sat there bored in my room after just accomplishing finishing the first homework of the school year.
School may have just started less than 24 hours ago, but I already feel the need to go out.
Then an idea hit me ' mom and dad won't be here for a 2 days maybe I could-' I grinned to myself.
I ran to Sasuke's room and knocked.

After a few silent seconds he finally opens it, I was greeted by his messy hair, dark cargo shorts and a wife beater.
Oh how I just want to feel those sweet abs and- NO, God damn it! Stop that! I Snapped out of it before Sasuke couldn't notice my zoned-out expression.
"What do you want?" he muttered as he scratched the back of his neck, a habit he took from Naruto.

"I'm bored, get dressed and meet me down stairs in 15 minutes" then I left not letting him have a chance to say.
I went into my room and change, removing my shirt.
I was about to unclasp my 'home bra' when suddenly my door burst open "ugh Sakura do I have to-"
" AAAAAHHH! SASUKE GET OUT GET OUT!" I covered myself with my new shirt throwing the old one at him. I felt my face turning hot as blood rushed to my face.

"Oops Sorry!" he shield himself from the incoming shirt, he look at me not moving "WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET THE FUCK OUT!" I yelled he seemed to snap of some zone and realizing he hasn't move yet. He muttered another 'sorry' before leaving my room slamming the door behind him. I checked my door making sure it's locked this time. I leaned on the door and slid down, I held a hand over my chest, my heart was about to rip itself out. I just sat there for a while using different breathing techniques to help calm me down. I need to lock my door more often.

After 15 minutes I finally calmed myself, finding a regular white v neck shirt and skinny jeans. I looked at my hair in the mirror, its light pink shade reflecting on my skin, its length reaching my lower back. I love my hair, I never wanted to cut it, my goal is to let it grow will my thigh.
It's already been 20 Minutes and still I haven't heard Sasuke Leave his room. I walked up to his door and checked if he even got dressed.
I walked in to find him shirtless, standing in front of his closet in only his jeans and converse.

"Uh, I don't know what to wear"
I snapped out of my daydream
I rolled my eyes and walked up to his closet inspecting the mess it is. I spotted a red t-shirt and pulled it out, placing it over my shoulder as I opened the other door finding a leather jacket with red and white stripes on the arm.
I threw the clothes at this face and he caught it fore it made contact "hey! Watch it!"
He stared at the clothes for a moment.
"Do have to wear this?"

"Yes! I wasted 150 dollars on that jacket for your birthday so wear it! It doesn't look bad on you see?"
He put on the jacket and I dragged him to the mirror
" See? You look good in it" I smooth of the wrinkles and fixing the neck color.
I look at his face, he had infamous Uchiha smirk that will make every girl weak in the knees.
"We should get going" I suggested I tried to hide my blush that sneakily creped on my face.
" umm yea"

We left the room and walked into the living room to again find Naruto flipping channels, this time I wacked him with a cushion "I told you you're gonna break it!"
"Sasuke, Naruto is coming to so you two BEHAVE!"I gave them a glare so they'll listen, they both just stared at opposite directions diverting away from my glare.
We walked to the bus stop for it being only 6.30 it's already pitched black.
The buss finally arrived and headed to the biggest mall in down town. It closes at 9 so we have 3 and a half hour to spare.

We spent the first half hour window shopping, Naruto jumping all over the place while I drag Sasuke by the arm.
I spotted a hat store, having fun I made Sasuke wear a English hat with pink flowers, his face was priceless!
Naruto had to go the bathroom and right next door was Forever 21; I smiled devilishly to myself and dragged Sasuke in with me.

Entering the store all everyone's eyes were on Sasuke then at me with a glare, they can stare all they want at this hot smexi- no damn it I need to stop!

I dragged him towards the dresses "how does this look? How about this? This? OMG Sasuke look at this, oh and this? what about-" Sasuke grabbed my hand and dragged me out, I couldn't help but began laughing.
We meet up with Naruto at the large food court
Unfortunatly we didn't have money so we walked around the court, Mall people are persistent with the samples, we walked around about 3 times till out stomachs where satisfied except for Naruto who just wanted more.
We keep trying to run away from those people from those booths giving you like a demonstration of their product, one person literally grabbed my shoulder for a demonstrations of some kind of scrunchi for my hair, her hands ready to grab my hair and put it in that damn contraption!

We passed by one of those booths that had accessories for cell phones, I looked around and something caught my eye, it's was a chain with a Cherry Blossom flower with an S on it.
I really wanted it, but of course I went to the mall, without a wallet!
The felt the gaze the sales lady was giving me, but what she said next made me stop breathing for a second.
"Oh sweetie! I'll give it to you for free since you two look cute together! Ah, young love!" she looked up at the ceiling gazing into Lala Land.
"I'm not her-" Sasuke began but I shut him up
"yes, we are together"
Sasuke gave me a look of disbelief.
I kissed his cheek and whispers in his ear
"Never say no to free stuff" I hissed giving him a smirk
The girl thought it was cute so she gave Sasuke one too, it was a blue star with an S on it.
Then I remembered something
I checked my pocket and found it
"Here Sasu, I made this, I forgot to give it to you" I clipped the object to the chain, it was a metal charm with his Clan Symbol on it.

"SAKURA!" I turned and find a VERY hyper active boy running my direction dodging people as he came my way.
"Come with me! Let's check out the music store!"
It was only 3 stores away I looked up at its sign 'Sam's music shop' entering the store we were engulfed with a Musicians paradise.
100 maybe 1000 of different kinds of instruments, even instrument from different countries.
I walked over to an organ and placed my hand on it, playing some chords, man that sound creepy! The Store was full today; they had this Open-mic sort of thing.

Naruto waited to go up to a small stage they have set up in the middle, once the spot was free Naruto immediately went for the Drums, Sasuke following behind him going for the Electric guitar.
For a few years now the guys have been planning to start a band, but because of school they couldn't continue, they are really talented, they already have some songs written, I'm proud to say I know them from heart.
"Sasuke, Play that song you guys have been working on recently" I asked, I just got a nod in return.
I joined them on stage, not wanting to seem useless, I was gonna join the singing in the background.
I recognized the beat and began to get my voice ready.

'I'm always screaming my lungs out 'til my head starts spinning
Playing my songs is the way I cope with life
Won't keep my voice down
Know the words I speak are the thoughts I think out loud'

Sasuke's voice was smooth as he began to sing, it was raspy at some sections but that's how he sings, it defines him.
I looked over at him, the guitar in hand and a mic placed in front of him. I looked out at the crowed and I watched at it progressively grew by the second.
Girls in an instant becoming fan girls and they continue listening to him sing.

'I like to keep things honest
I'm a safe bet like your life's staked on it, for real
I'd hate to keep you all wondering
I'm constant like the seasons, I will never be forgotten man'

that's when Sasuke turned over to me, his eyes signaling me to do something. Then I suddenly understood what he was trying to tell me

'Let's leave no words unspoken
And save regrets for the broken
Will you even look back when you think of me?'

I sang the little piece, the adrenaline running through me.
This was the best feeling I've in a while.
I looked back at him smiling; I was shocked to see him return the smile.
I haven't seen him this happy in a while either.

'All I want is a place to call my own
To mend the hearts of everyone who feels alone
Whoa, you know to keep your hopes up high
And your head down low
Keep your hopes up high and your head down low'

me and Naruto Joined Sasuke in at the chores, I couldn't stop smiling, this was extremely fun! I looked back at the crowed again, I watched them jump in sync with the beat, this little open-mic thing suddenly became a concert, i see people were packed till the entrance.

When the song finally ended the whole store roars in applause, I caught the owner of the store, Sam, in the crowd and noticed that his expression looked pleased.
Naruto walked over to Sasuke and bowed, Naruto grabbed my arm set me between them, making me bow with them, I can't help but smile and hug both of them.

I noticed Sam walking over us, still applauding, his black hair barely gazing this shoulder tucked behind his ear. He walked up to Sasuke and held out a hand for a hand shake "my, my you kids are good, was that your own song?" he asked, Sasuke returned the hand shake and nodded.
"Do you guys have a label or anything? You seem professional by the way you play" Sam asked again. This time Naruto spoke "nope sir, we just a Garage band" he smiled and scratched the back of his head a bit nervous speaking with Sam, a former famous musician here in Konoha.

"What would you guys think if I said I could try and get hold of a producer to get you guys a contract with the music business?" he said sheepishly.

"WHAT!" Naruto exclaimed his eyes gleaming in joy.
"OH MY GOD" I was excited! I'm not a part of the band, I'm just the back up and momentary replacement at times, but the boys will finally get what they always wanted!
Sasuke didn't say anything, but his expression said everything.
"So what you kids say? Wanna try the Music Business?" Sam grinned at out reaction, but he was serious.

We all looked at each other, checking if we were thinking the same thing
then suddenly we all turned "Yes!"
"Great! Please give me your number so I can contact you when I get a deal"
We happily give him our numbers; he smiled at us once more, before returning to his spot, observing the next people who will play.
This whole 'Open-mic' thing was all a scheme to help him to scout for new musicians, and we walked right in to it! And I was so glad we did!

We walked out of the store smiling and laughing both of the guys' arms around my shoulder as we walked out the mall in a line.

When we got home that's when I realized how tired I was.
I was about to change into my pajamas when something caught my eye out my window.

I watched a black silhouette turn the corner of Naruto's house, and then I saw him pass again from the space between Naruto's house and another neighbor's house.
That's when I recognized the figure
the distinctive spikey hair showing me the identity of the mystery man.

I followed him for who knows how long, I didn't pay attention to where he was going till he stops in front of a big gothic looking gate.
That's where it hit me, where in the cemetery.
He walked further in I followed silently behind far enough so he wouldn't see me.
He finally stopped in front a large tombstone.
I narrowed my eyes

'Here lay Mikoto Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha'

I hold in a yelp that wanted to be heard.
I watch Sasuke dropped to his knees and placed a single rose in front of it. I've seen enough, how many times does he come here in the middle of the night for the past 7 years? I've come here many times with him, but this is the first I've ever seen him here alone.
I merged out of the shadows and walked over to him.
I placed my hand on his back and felt his muscles become tense at the sudden contact.

He wiped his eyes before facing me, not wanting to hurt his pride of being found crying.
I hugged him tightly from behind and kissed him on his head, something I've always done.
I kissed my hand and then placed it on the dark cold granite stone.
Slowly getting up I grabbed Sasuke's hand, wincing at how cold they where I intertwined out fingers, warming them up.
"Come on it's getting late" we walked back home in silence hand in hand.
