Unlike most kunochi's sh
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto…because Neji would not be dead.-is still not over that-
Sakura hadn't expected him of all people to show up as her first date. It was beyond unexpected, it was just…she had honestly thought some random shinobi and the occasional civilian but not this shinobi.
So when he walked to the table long hair swaying and clan sign emblazoned on one of his more casual outfits her first sentence had been, "Ah, does the Hokage need me for something?" And he had responded with a slight smirk, "Actually I came here for the honor of dating you, Sakura-san." She blushed, "Well Neji-san when Hinata said she knew some people that would be interested I hadn't expected you."
(A/N: …LOL Sorry I just had to do it all of you was like "OMG ITS ITACHI AND ITS GONNA BE SO CUTE-squeal- "and I was like no. no, it's not.)
She had to be open she urged herself, she had to allow herself to feel and try not to immediately place this in the business section of her mind. Because Kami knows we've done that with almost every male we've met. So she allowed her feminine senses to come into play and noticed that he was actually quite attractive. She supposed it was mainly his hair that caught her eye, what was with clan members and having gorgeous hair? However she stored the thought for later noticing he finished with his order. "I will have the western capp…huchino." It was just tea; she did not want the dates to be too serious.
She asked the first question, "I just would like to ask what made Neji Hyuga interested in me, if that's not too forward." A huff of amusement left him, "Sakura-san we've known each other for quite a while I think we can ask questions freely." She relaxed more in her seat, saying a quick thank you with a smile. "And to answer your question, I actually harbored a small crush for you after witnessing your defeat of twenty-five sound ninjas in less than ten minutes. That is a feat not even I could accomplish." What was with clan members and praising her recently? Just what's with clan members? They kept this up and they were going to make her arrogant. "Ah, well thank you Neji-san." She was not good with people confessing to her, because really what was she supposed to say?
They had chatted for about two hours; she normally did not have someone who would tolerate her chatter about the hospital. But he had actually seemed interested even going as far to ask how things worked when she spoke of a term he did not know. She blushed that someone like him was interested in her to begin with. Despite that Neji had informed her that his crush on her had passed, and he was mainly checking to see so. She had not felt abused or used because she had enjoyed her time and couldn't see Neji past a friend to be honest.
So she went to bed excited about her other two dates, she didn't see anything that could go wrong. Aw see now you jinxed it. She ignored her inner going to sleep with the images of the males from her romance novels in her head.
She thought about the possibilities of the person she was meeting for her date later on, he could smooth and silent. Or nervous but sweet, or protective and bold, she snickered at the last one. She supposed she was getting too absorbed though…and her thoughts were quite childish now that she thought about them. But she honestly didn't know how to react; she never experienced this stuff before! She was twenty years old going on her first dates ever and the only reactions she could think of was the giggly maiden who needed rescuing all the time. But she wasn't that, she did not giggle. At least not like a ditzy maiden.
And she did not get rescued all the time, half the time it was her rescuing people, especially if you included her medical work. She was no maiden, she was more likely to fight the bad guys than sit back and cheer her savior's name. But who would understand that? Many shinobi females still kept their jobs but after getting pregnant they settled down and became a housewife. Did she want that? …No she didn't, she had worked too hard to get this far up just to be pushed right back down because she had children to take care of. She could do both, she knew it. But who would understand that? She would not give up her career for some relationship nor just because she had children. Her husband could take care of them too it would not be a mom is home but dad isn't household. She refused to be a single parent. And how would she know if she was in love? Surely that crush on Sauske she had was not it?
Why was this so difficult? Because its life. It was true and she agreed but she was having a hard time trying to figure out what she wanted in a relationship. It was so much easier when she didn't have to worry about this! And her biggest concern was that they wouldn't understand her, she had so many faults and issues and she just… She honestly didn't know if anyone could handle her, it had taken her age group years to realize what they felt each other. Tenten and Lee had just gotten together two months ago. And she was just now starting, at this rate she'd be forty before she even married. She sighed at all the thoughts swimming in her head, she needed some advice.
Yamanka Ino was actually quite smart despite what people thought, where Sakura was book smart she was street smart. So when Sakura walked through her door with a confused look on her face she had already had the shop closed for today and was currently making cookies in the back. Sakura had a habit of over thinking things and confusing herself so she knew after the first date that she would have already thought about what type of kids she thought she would have. She blamed that big forehead.
So she took the cookies and milk out on a platter and simply said, "Talk," as she munched on her own share of cookies. And phew, could the girl go! And they said she talked a lot. Half in between a rant on her career being more important than an anniversary ,"if there's a surgery about to happen I don't care about dinner I care about the patient and he needs to accept that because-" she interrupted her. She was starting to get confused and confused people can't give advice. They'd confuse the confused with confusing advice, she nodded inwardly at her logic as she began to speak. "Sakura first off you will not be forty before you get married, the men of Konoha will run down your doors with undying love until you get a boyfriend. Sheesh just wait when the news gets out that you're dating." She noticed Sakura flinch at the thought, her fan-boys sometimes went a little over board. Not as bad as the Uchiha fan girls though, she didn't know if anyone could touch that level of blind devotion. "And about all that future stuff, you will have to wait and see what you want it's going to come to you after you experience other possibilities." She swore Sakura was admiring her now, "But Ino how do I know they will be able to understand me?"
Oh, so that was it. Sakura had issues this Ino knew, despite her helping her self-confidence when they were children being put on team seven had brought it to a new low. It was only after the Chuunin exams that she had even decided she needed to catch up. Didn't this idiot see she was one of the most important parts of the team? Without her they'd probably be dead somewhere with how reckless they were.
"Sakura, you don't need to tell them everything on the first day, it's not until like…two years in the relationship that you even start on insecurities and family drama." Sakura smiled at her, relief shinning in her eyes. "Thanks Ino, this is all so confusing." Only to you, she thought humorously. "Oh and for when you're in love… Hmm, you'll be happier than you have been in years and everything's great but it's also terrible, well for you it would be." Sakura raised her eyebrow. She shook her head, "You'll understand later, now get out I got to make money some way." As Sakura left she laughed lightly, for someone with such a big forehead she sure didn't use much of that space.
A/N: ...I'm late sorry. But as usual I was trying to make a realllly long chapter and then forgot what the flip it was going to be about half way through.
So; I have a question. What would you like to see next in the dates that are coming up? Sorry but we can't have Itachi storm in sweep her off her feet and make out in front of the guy. It'd traumatize him. And them two getting together isnt going to be for another few chapters I think(Or is it o.O). What I really wanna know is the type of personality and/or if you have a particular anime character you'd think be perfect for Sakura(besides the ones in Naruto of course). I already have an idea of one but I cant remember his name hmm...oh! Raito from Diabolik Lovers. And someones like "YOU WATCH THAT TOO?!" Um no I was looking at top 10 sexy anime guys of 2013 watch?v=j1P6EEVHqJs for ideas for the guy shed date(...of course that was the only reason, ehem.) And yeah the mouth action...weirded me out cause my mum was kinda like right beside me but then I realized oh! hes a vampire, that makes it alllll cool. -Not- Lol anyway leave suggestions. -Pleasssssssseeeeeeeee- And the faster you do it the faster ill write :D -I hope-
