Chapter 3

After a moment of hesitation, Sasuke took Sakura's hand and the three of them headed to the crowded dance floor. To the outsiders it may seem like a normal platonic scene among two friends but when their hands came in contact, both Sakura and Sasuke felt a tingling sensation travelling from the tips of their fingers through their nerves and finally, mildly tugged their hearts. Both find it as a pleasant surprise and unknowingly they smiled. More cracks formed on the surface of the walls surrounding a certain raven haired's heart.

On the dance floor, Sasuke was just standing and occasionally swaying a bit while Naruto and Sakura looked like they were having the time of their lives. Sasuke was happy looking at the small framed girl throwing her arms high up in the air, swaying her hips seductively and having her pink hair flying everywhere. Naruto and Sakura were looking at each other laughing and dancing at the same time. Under the blinking neon lights, she looked like an energetic pixie, possibly a sexy one that was alluring the ever cold hearted raven haired man.

However, Sasuke couldn't possibly enjoy seeing Sakura dancing for long as there were plenty of girls throwing themselves on him too. He scowled and Naruto saw it.

"Hey! I think teme is having a hard time. Look!" Naruto shouted to Sakura over the loud music. Sakura gave him a sly smile and sneakily slipped herself in between the girls and Sasuke. She playfully wrapped her arms around Sasuke's neck and swayed. The dance floor was crowded and someone pushed the couple, causing Sakura's hips to touch Sasuke's. If it weren't for the dark atmosphere with the blinking lights, the shade of red blush would be obvious on both's cheeks. Sasuke quickly pushed Sakura away and got off the dance floor to the bar. His actions were followed by the other two.

"Hey, three beers please." Naruto said to the bartender.

"Hmm...you're welcome!" Sakura was looking at Sasuke who returned her a blur face.

"I rescued you from the girls! Don't deny. I wonder how you'd survive for the next four days without me here! I know for sure Naruto will definitely drag you to the dance floor as long as there's danceable music and parties on this island!" Sasuke let out a grunt and Sakura winked at Naruto who started grinning like a fool.

After tiring out, the trio went back to the suite to have a good night sleep.


"Wake up sleepy head. Your flight is in three hours time." Naruto gently knocked on Sakura's room door and spoke softly. Sakura opened the door with her luggage all packed and donned on comfy clothes. She was ready to leave.

"Naruto! Right ahead of you. I'm ready!" Sakura was awfully energetic today.

"Alright, let's go. We'll send you off."

"Hn."

At the tiny airport, before entering the departure hall, Sakura gave Naruto a tight hug.

"Naruto. I'm so happy to have met you! I hope we could meet in the future! Keep in touch!"

"Hai, Sakura-chan! Have a safe flight to Tibet!"

"Sasuke-kun. Thanks."

"Safe flight." Sasuke nodded.

After all the farewells were bid, Sakura entered the departure hall, ready to take flight. As she was buckling her seat belt on the plane only she knew that she forgot to trade contact information with the two men.

Shannaro! It's too late!
