Ch. 10: Konoha Falls
Sakura's POV
"What to wear... What to wear… " I said to myself while I was searching through my closet trying to figure out what to wear for my date with Sasuke. Umi was on my bed watching me with amusement.
" Sakura just pick a dang outfit already! You're going to be late! " Umi said.
She was right. I had 30 minuets left before Sasuke showed up and I still need to put my makeup on. I quickly grabbed my white skinny jeans and a teal blouse. I quickly went to my bathroom to change into my outfit and once I was done I came out and went to my dresser. I looked at myself from the mirror.
"Gosh. I look like a mess!" I said.
I turned around and looked at Umi. "Can you help me brush my hair?" I asked.
Umi smiled and said " Of course!" She came at my side and picked up a brush from the drawer and started to brush my hair.
While she was doing that, I started to do my makeup. I wasn't really the type of girl to use makeup a lot and whenever I do use makeup I only use a little bit. I started with my eyes. I decided to put a light shade of teal eye shadow to match with the shirt I was wearing. I then used liquid black eye liner to define my eyes. Once that was done, I grabbed my light pink lipstick and used it on my lips. By the time I finished doing my makeup, Umi had finished doing my hair. My hair was smoothed out and tied into cute messy bun.
"Wow. Thanks Umi." I said smiling at myself from the mirror.
Umi hugged me from behind and said, "No problem. You look beautiful!"
"Thank you!"
I took out my phone out of my pocket and checked the time it was 8:50 AM. Sasuke would be here soon. I thought. I suddenly felt nervous. I had butterflies in my stomach. I just had that fluttery fleeing by just thinking that today it would be just Sasuke and I. And I wondered what today would bring for both of us.
40 minutes later…
I was sitting in the passenger seat in Sasuke's car for the last 30 minutes and I had no idea where we are going. For the most part of the car ride, we listened to music and surprisingly Sasuke and I had the same taste in music. Looking from the window, I could see that we had left the city and we were at the countryside. To be honest I have never been to this part of Konoha before and everything I saw along the road was beautiful. I never thought a wide-open field could look so pretty. It was filled with the most richest green grass I have ever seen and parts of it had many colorful flowers. I would see different kinds of trees that complete the setting of the fields. I took out my phone and started to take pictures.
"Don't take too many, you're going to want to save some for the destination we are going." Sasuke said.
I stopped taking pictures and looked at him. "Are you ever going to tell me where we are going?" I asked while putting my phone away.
Sasuke smirked while keeping his eyes on the road. " I told you, it's a surprise."
"Can you at least give me a hint?"
"Hn. No."
I sighed. He wasn't going to tell me. I went through different radio stations only to find that none of them had anything good playing on.
Sasuke's POV
I noticed her frustration when I wouldn't tell her where we are going. I didn't mind though. I thought it was cute how Sakura gets frustrated. She would pout a little bit and if she got really mad her face would turn red. I smirked at the thought of her face being all red. It was cute. I looked at her from the corner of my eye and noticed that she was messing around with the radio. I could tell that nothing good was playing, so I reached for my phone from my pocket and handed it to her.
"Here, you can go through my music and play it on the stereo." I told her.
Sakura smiled. "Thanks!" she said as she went through my playlist.
She started to play "Centuries" by Fall Out Boy. " I love this song." She said.
I smirked. Fall Out Boy was one of my favorite bands. I am glad that I can share the same taste in music with Sakura. It was another thing that I liked about her.
"Centuries"
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
(Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah)
Remember me for centuries
Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The stories are off
Heavy metal broke my heart
Come on, come on and let me in
The bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is for tonight
I thought that you would feel
I never meant for you to fix yourself
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
(Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah)
Remember me for centuries
And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me, as long as there is a light
My shadow's over you 'cause I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
(Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah)
Remember me for centuries
We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth
Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
(Hey yeah, oh hey, hey yeah)
We'll go down in history (hey yeah)
Remember me for centuries
Once the song ended, Sakura started to play other songs from Fall Out Boy. If I remember correctly I think there is an upcoming concert that will have Fall Out Boy. I thought to myself.
After three songs, I could see the entrance to Konoha Falls up ahead. "We are almost there." I told Sakura as I went to the entrance. I was driving up the curvy road to the top of the mountain when I took a glance at Sakura beside me. I can tell from her expression that she was amazed at what she was looking at. It made me smile.
Sakura turned to me and said. "This is incredible! I've never been this high up in a mountain before."
"Well now you have." I said looking back to the road.
We reached at the top of the mountain. The mountain was not too tall for it to be cold, which was good because I had planned a nice picnic with Sakura. I drove to the small parking lot and parked the car. As I got out of the car, I went to the passenger side to open the door for Sakura.
"Thank you." She said while blushing. I smirked at her. I loved it when she blushed because of me.
"So where to now?" She asked.
I grabbed her hand and lead her to a trail that was up ahead. "Hn. You'll see." As we walked Sakura was exploring her surroundings. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She was so beautiful underneath the sunlight. It was like she was glowing. Her pink hair shined beautifully and her emerald eyes stood out that they mesmerized me.
About five minutes of walking we came to a small stream. I walked on the stone steps that were on the stream and held out my hand to Sakura. Sakura took my hand and I helped her get to the other side of the stream. "Thank you." She smiled as I came to her side. "Your welcome."
"We are close." I told her as we kept walking.
Sakura's POV
Who knew Sasuke was such a gentlemen. I thought. I smiled. I was excited to where he was taking me. So far it has been amazing. I fell in love with nature. All the site seeing along the ride was so breath taking that I couldn't believe I was missing out on this.
Sasuke and I soon came into small meadow and I gasp. The small meadow was covered in daisies, tulips, and daffodils. There was a huge oak tree in the middle. Beside the meadow there was a small lake with a waterfall. As we walked closer toward the oak tree, I noticed that there was a picnic set up perfectly for us. I stopped just a few feet from the picnic area. "Sasuke… all this is amazing." I said as I looked at Sasuke beside me.
Sasuke smiled and I noticed he was blushing just a bit. " You like it?"
"I love it!" I instantly hugged him. Sasuke hugged me back tightly and whispered in my ear. "I'm glad you love it."
We broke apart from the hug and sat down on the white blanket that was spread out for us. Sasuke grabbed the brown basket that was beside him and took out two plates, two cups, and utensils. He then took out two containers that had potato salad and chicken sandwiches. One was for me and the other was for him. I took one and took off the lid of the container. "Did you make all this?" I asked him as I took a bite of the potato salad.
"Everything but the food. My mother made the food for us." Sasuke stated.
"Well she makes amazing food! This is so good!"
Sasuke smirked. We ate in silence. I didn't mind. It was actually very relaxing just eating and enjoying being at the meadow with Sasuke. I looked at the waterfall it was so breath taking. This is the first time I have seen a waterfall up close. I wished I brought my swimsuit. I thought. Seeing the lake gave me an urge to be in the water. It was very hot today and my body wanted to cool off by swimming in the lake. I was brought back from my thoughts when Sasuke asked, "Do you want to go for a swim?"
"I didn't bring my swimsuit." I said.
Sasuke pulled out a bag from behind him and handed it to me. " Umi packed your swimsuit for you."
I was surprised. " Umi knew?" I asked him.
Sasuke nodded. " Hn. I didn't want you to figure out what we were doing today so I asked Umi if she can pack some of your things."
"Oh. Well you sure did surprise me."
Sasuke gave me a small smile. He then gave me direction where there is a bathroom nearby. "Over there, there is a bathroom where you can change." He stated.
"Thanks." I went over to the small building that read "Restroom" and it had two walkways, one for men and the other for women. I went to the women's bathroom and I changed into my red swimsuit. I looked at myself in the mirror. "Gosh, I need to stop blushing!" I let my hair fall down from the messy bun it was in and headed out of the bathroom.
Sasuke's POV
I had my dark blue swim trunks on and I took off the white shirt that I had on. I was now waiting for Sakura to come out. I checked my phone to see that it was already 11:00. Looks like I only have about two hours before I have to go to that stupid doctors appointment. I thought.
I then looked at the direction of where the bathrooms were and I saw Sakura coming towards me. She was wearing a very attractive red swimsuit and she looked beautiful. I can tell from her blushing face that she was checking me out. I smirked at her. Once she was at my side I said, "Ready?"
"Ready for wha-" I didn't let her finish as I grabbed her hand and jumped into the water bringing her along with me.
We emerged from the water and Sakura splashed water at me. "That's what you get for making me jump." Sakura had her tongue out at me and I thought it was cute how she did that. I started to splash water at her and she did the same at me. Before we knew it we were having water splash fight. We were going at for what seemed like twenty minutes before Sakura surrendered.
"I give up! You win."
"Hn. I always win." I said.
Sakura rolled her eyes at me and gave me a final splash towards me. We decided to swim around the lake since it was small. Once we made it to the waterfall we decided to sit on a large rock to look at the waterfall. " Sasuke, how did you find this place?"
I shrugged. "My mother would always bring my brother and I here when we were younger."
"That's cool. This place is so amazing. Thank you for bringing me here." Sakura said smiling at me. I couldn't get enough of her smile. In fact I couldn't get enough of her. This feeling I had when I was around her was something I have never experienced before. I didn't think I could feel this way with someone. I wanted to know more about her.
"Sakura… tell me more about you."
Sakura was looking at the waterfall and looked like she was in deep thought. " Well, I like to help others, my family and friends are important to me, I can get very hot tempered and stubborn. I love movies and music. And I have a large forehead."
I looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "Large forehead?"
"Yeah. It is the truth." Sakura said as she turned her head away from me.
I reached out to her face with my hands and made her face me. " It's fine. I don't think you have a large forehead." I leaned in to kiss her forehead gently. I pulled away just a few inches to look at her in the eyes. "Sakura… you're beautiful. Don't think otherwise." I can see Sakura turn bright red at what I told her. Our eyes locked and my heart was beating fast. Our faces were inches away and I couldn't ignore the urge of wanting to kiss her. We both leaned in and we closed our eyes when we felt our lips touched. I wrapped my arms around her and brought her closer to me so that she was now on my lap. I can feel her arms wrap around my neck as our kiss deepened.
This is amazing… I thought.
We broke the kiss to catch our breaths. Sakura smiled at me while blushing. Her smile then turned into a small smirk. I was caught off guard when she pushed me off the large rock and into the water. I emerged from the water glaring at her.
Sakura laughed at me and said, "Pay Back."
"Hn."
Sakura then jumped in the water with me and started to splash water to my face. I quickly grabbed both of her wrists to make her stop. "I don't think so Sakura."
Sakura giggled. I then let go of her wrists and pulled her against my chest. Sakura instantly wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me in for another kiss. I responded back by holding her tightly against me and bringing one hand to her soft pink locks and deepening the kiss. I hear her moan and I smirked as I quickly shoved my tongue into her mouth gaining access from her moan. Our tongues battled with each other and I loved her sweet taste of strawberries.
We broke apart when we heard an alarm went off from the meadow. I cursed. "Damn, it's my alarm. It's 12:40. I promised my mother that I would go to the doctor today."
"Oh." Sakura said as she pulled away.
"Do you mind if you came along with me? The appointment is at 1:30." I asked her.
"No I don't mind."
I gave her a small smile. We headed back to the meadow and we quickly changed into our casual clothes in the bathroom. Once we were done, we grabbed our belongings and headed back to the car. By the time we got into the car it was already 1:00. Crap. I need to drive fast if I want to get to the doctor on time. I thought. "I hope you're not scared of going more than 70mph in this car." I said as I started the engine.
Sakura looked at me with confidence in her eyes. " Try me." I smirked at her and started driving in speed to the hospital while "Infinity" by Young Guns starts playing.
"Infinity"
Standing on the edge
Watching traffic pass
And these rivers of broken glass
Everybody wants to believe there's something more to this
Yet to hear the word of a higher power
From the streets to the tallest tower
Haunted by the questions unanswered
My world begins to spin
Oh and when it starts to light up
It hits me like an atom bomb
Oh and sometimes it's enough to free me from the undertow
This is where I belong
And all these city lights
Another endless night
Full of all possibilities
Raise your glass to eternity
I never felt so high
It's never been this right
And it's all about you and me
From tonight to infinity
It's easy to feel small when the world's so big
Like a puzzle piece that doesn't fit
Everybody's looking for something to show them how to live
Oh and when it starts to light up
The darkest corners of my soul
Oh no hell or high water
Can keep me from euphoria
This is where I belong
And all these city lights
Another endless night
Full of all possibilities
Raise your glass to eternity
I never felt so high
It's never been this right
And it's all about you and me
From tonight to infinity
Oh it's you and me
Tonight to infinity
Oh it's you and me
Tonight to infinity
This is where I belong
And all these city lights
Another endless night
Full of all possibilities
Raise your glass to eternity
I never felt so high
It's never been this right
And it's all about you and me
From tonight to infinity
