Chapter Ten
By: Syaokura Dragon
"Sakura, I'm bored."
"Stuff it Sasuke."
"Chiharu, I'm bored."
"Shut it Sasuke."
Silence.
"Saku-"
"SHUT UP SASUKE!!"
"I was going to say that we just passed the road we need."
Sakura reined Spinel to a stop and looked back the way they had come. She scratched the back of her head through her hat.
"Oops." She laughed weakly. "Sorry Sasuke."
The three of them turned their mounts around and headed to the road they had just passed.
"Sakura?"
"Yes Sasuke?"
"I'm bored."
She turned to him. "If you're so damn bored, then do something! Stop bugging me!"
They continued riding in silence for a while. It didn't last long enough.
"I know!" His black eyes shone with the excitement he got from the sudden epiphany.
His sister and their new friend looked at him, exasperated. Simultaneously they asked, "What now Sasuke?"
He grinned at them. "We're going to the festival."
The two of them stared blankly at him. His grin shrank a bit, but didn't disappear completely.
"You know, the Cherry Blossom Festival. It's tomorrow night. There's a town close by. I forget the name, but it's not too far from the farm. We," Here he indicated himself and his sibling. "might even be able to find jobs there." He was smiling wider now, obviously proud of himself.
The two girls thought for a moment before, again simultaneously, saying, "Sure, why not?"
They looked at each other and laughed.
"Is that a yes?"
They turned to look at the hopeful teen.
"Yes, Sasuke."
He whooped and spurred Star into a sudden gallop along the dirt road. The two he had left behind choked on the dust cloud.
They grinned at each other.
Sakura said, "And he thinks it was all his idea."
Chiharu shrugged at her friend. "Well, now he can't change his mind about it. We're going to a festival." She followed her brother and galloped towards the town in the distance.
Sakura choked on dust again and said to herself, "Let's meet the people of Ogata then."
A/N Thank you to the prompt review from x PyrusAngel x. (I'm talking like, 5 minutes) You made me remember that this chapter needs to go up too. It's as important as the last one. I promise to get to the farm by chapter 13 by the very latest. What happens until then, I hope you'll like, but that's me hoping. Keep reviews coming!!
