Recap:
"Daichi! Is Sakura-chan here?!" Tenten exclaimed through the intercom.
"No, she isn't, I thought she would be with you at that dance" Daichi answered.
"Shit!" Temari cursed.
"What's happening?" Daichi questioned.
"I have no idea, Sasuke said she just ran away from the dance covered in cuts and drink" Hinata answered.
"What?!" Daichi exclaimed, suddenly he came running out of the mansion and the gate opened instantly and closed as he stepped out "Do you have any idea of where she is?"
"No, she just ran away" Sasuke answered.
"Damn, Tenten-chan, Temari-chan, Hinata-chan, you guys go home, I don't think your parents would appreciate you guys out this late in what you are wearing, Neji, Shikamaru and Naruto you take the girls home" Daichi ordered "Sasuke you are coming with me to find her!" Daichi ordered as he dragged the boy through the town looking for her.
--
"Damn where is she?" Sasuke cursed as he continued running through the town looking for the girl, at one stage he thought he had seen the girl, but by the time he had gotten there the pink hair was gone. About an hour ago Daichi and him had split up to cover more ground after the exchanged numbers of course, planning to meet back at their house in two hours if they hadn't found the girl.
"Sakura, where are you?" Sasuke muttered as he ran through the town, going to the most unusual places, half expecting her to be there. As the two hours had passed, both males had no choice but to retire, and pray that she had come home and was now in her room studying, or preparing herself for bed, like she always had done. Walking into the house, both males were stunned at what they saw before them, it was Sakura as they predicted, but she was asleep on the stair case in a little ball, her legs bandages, and covering her feet, and a couple of band aids on her face, the dress she wore that night was next to her, cleaned, dried and ironed on a hanger as well as the shoes below her, it looked like she was waiting for Daichi or some one to come here because even though her body was in a little ball she was leaning on the land post, and like usual in something elegant and that should be worn outside not inside. On the dress was a little note, opening the paper they read the contents.
'Arigato Sasuke and Mikoto for allowing me to use the dress, sorry it got kind of ruined, if you need money to repair it I will pay for it.
Sakura'
"How did you not notice she came home?" Sasuke questioned.
"I didn't hear the door open, nor the gate, nor the running of feet on stairs, either she was extremely quiet, or there is another entrance to this place that I haven't found about" Daichi frowned.
"She's good" Sasuke muttered as he picked the girl up bridal style following Daichi to her room.
"Indeed she is" Daichi sighed as he watched Sasuke put his little sister onto the bed and tuck her in to the covers 'He's perfect for her, I just wish she'd open her heart a little'
--
"Thank you for helping me look for her" Daichi smiled to Sasuke as they stood at the black gates of the house.
"Aa" Sasuke nodded before walking off.
End Recap
"Finally our reports!" Tenten exclaimed.
"Since when have you ever been excited to get reports?" Temari questioned.
"I haven't, but I figured if I get them before my parents and check them, I can decide whether or not to hide them until I'm thirty" Tenten smirked.
"That's genius" Temari smirked.
"Okay, ready to check them?" Tenten questioned as they walked towards the courtyard for morning break where their friends all had their report cards in hand. Unfortunately for them, even with their report cards, they still had two weeks left in the evil institution.
"Let's wait and see them with the rest" Temari suggested.
"You just don't want to see your report" Temari mocked.
"You caught me" Temari sighed in defeat as she sat down next to Hinata and Sakura and leaning on Shikamaru while Tenten leaned onto Neji and sat opposite Temari.
"Hey guys, what did you get for your reports?" Tenten asked.
"I did okay" Hinata answered.
"Aa" Sakura muttered getting out her report card "Haven't looked at it yet, here" Sakura said tossing the girls her report card and began eating her apple.
Flipping pages, the girls searched through the girl's report card as their eyes grew twice the size of their head.
"S-sakura-chan" Hinata stuttered.
"Hmm?" Sakura looked at them oddly.
"You have the perfect report card!" Tenten squealed.
"Let's see" Neji asked, receiving the report card off Tenten and shuffling through each page, Shikamaru, Chouji, Gaara, Shino, Kiba, Naruto, Lee, Kankuro and Sasuke peeping over his shoulder.
"Damn, their right Scholar-girl! Perfect grades!" Sasuke muttered.
"Damn! Not even Neji has gotten that" Kiba exclaimed.
"How'd you do it?" Naruto sulked "I wish my grades would end up like that"
"Errr….study?" Sakura answered, continuing to eat apple unfazed.
"Man, maybe we should do what you do next year" Tenten muttered, Sakura sweat dropped.
"Geez, what a way to lose one's appetite" Temari sighed.
"What do you mean?" Naruto questioned.
"I mean, look at her report card!" Temari exclaimed "Makes ours look insignificant"
"I agree" Tenten sulked.
"Err…sorry?" Sakura sweatdropped.
"It's okay Sakura-chan" Tenten sighed.
"Ding, ding, ding!" Aahhh! Finally, the bell for third hour, how Sakura cherished the bell at that very moment as she raced towards physics.
--
"Sakura-chan! Hinata-chan!" Tenten called out as she and Temari ran towards Hinata and the pink haired girl, coming out of their last class, fourth hour.
"What's up?" Hinata questioned, figuring Sakura wasn't going to ask.
"Just saw you coming out of class and we thought we could all walk to lunch together" Tenten smirked.
"Oh I see" Hinata nodded.
"Then let's go" Sakura sighed. Slowly the girls walked side by side with Sakura in the middle towards the south wing courtyard to find it almost empty and quiet. Sitting there were only Lee, Gaara and Kankuro, who seemed to be waiting on others.
"Where's Neji-kun?" Tenten frowned.
"And Shika-kun?" Temari wondered.
"And Naruto-kun?" Hinata questioned as each of the three girls looked expectantly at Sakura, who sighed.
"And Chicken-ass?" Sakura asked.
"We have no idea" Kankuro sighed.
"Maybe their up on the roof tops to avoid the fangirls" Kiba suggested as he, Shino and Chouji walked up to the teenagers.
"Let's go check" Tenten suggested as Temari and Hinata dragged Sakura up towards the south wing roof top.
Walking up to the stairs cases of the south wing, the girls eventually made their way up the final stair case and opened the red door that led to the roof top. Looking around the roof top, the girls eyes widened in shock, anger, and betrayal at the sight before them. There in front of them were Neji, Sasuke, Shikamaru and Naruto making out with various fangirls. Honey to Neji, Ino to Sasuke, Akaya to Shikamaru (it seemed she doesn't care who the guy is as long as their popular and she can get screwed off them) and Maki to Naruto. Though it didn't affect Sakura, it did affect Tenten, Temari and Hinata who had tears pouring out of their eyes at the sight before them. Sakura could tell they were hurt, and extremely hurt at that, if not physically then emotionally. Here were their boyfriends, making out with the local sluts of the school, and it seemed they enjoyed the fact that those girls were straddling the hips in a very suggestive position.
Turning around, Sakura directed the three shocked tear stricken girls down the stair case of the roof top after closing the door and lead them towards the toilets so they could freshen up.
"I-I c-can't believe I just saw that" Hinata stuttered.
"Neither can I" Tenten sniffled.
"I thought they he said he loved me" Temari cried.
"It'll be okay" Sakura consoled, not exactly knowing what to do in this situation right now, except to pat the girl on the back as they each cried on Sakura's shoulders (some how) "Look, maybe we can get Tsunade-sama to let you off for the rest of the day since the last two classes are a phys. Ed. Lesson anyway" Sakura suggested.
"I-I think t-that will b-best" Hinata cried.
"I-I can't believe Neji-kun would cheat on me after being in a relationship for four years" Tenten wailed as a fresh stream of tears poured down her cheeks.
"Okay, look, I'll go to Tsunade-sama, ask if you guys can have the rest of the day off to recover from an extreme emotional blow and if we can get that granted, we can go to the super market and buy any food you want and go over to my house" Sakura offered 'And there goes my sanity' "Do want me to do that while you freshen up or just stay here?" Sakura asked.
"You would really let us stay over at your house?" Tenten sniffled.
"Y-yea" Sakura sighed.
"T-thank you S-Sakura-chan!" Tenten, Hinata and Temari cried hugging the girl.
"It's okay" Sakura muttered "Now you guys freshen up while I talk to Tsunade-sama" Sakura sighed as she pried the three girls off her and walked out of the girls bathroom.
--
"Why did I just do that?" Sakura muttered as she walked out of the bathroom with a slightly wet blouse.
"Why did you just do what?" Sasuke questioned from behind the girl. Turning around, the guys were shocked to find Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru and Naruto looking at her weirdly.
"Err…" Sakura muttered trying to find an excuse or something to get away from the males.
"Ano, Sakura-chan why is your blouse wet?" Naruto asked.
"Well…you see…I'll be going now" Sakura sweat dropped and ran away towards the principal's office.
"What the hell was that about?" Sasuke wondered.
"I have no idea" Neji muttered.
"Women are so troublesome" Shikamaru sighed.
"I wonder where Sakura-chan is going" Naruto pondered aloud.
--
"Knock, knock"
"Come in" Tsunade ordered after a large amount of shuffling was heard from outside of the room. Sighing, the girl turned the knob of the door and opened it and walked into the office.
"Oh my, Sakura-san, what a pleasure it is to see you, what do I owe to your presence this time?" Tsunade questioned.
"Why am I doing this again?" Sakura muttered "Okay" Sakura sighed "As of a few minutes ago, Tenten, Temari and Hinata experience an extreme emotional blow, and I have come here to request that I take the girls out of school for the last to classes so they can recover" Sakura requested.
"An extreme emotional blow?" Tsunade questioned.
"Please don't tell them I said anything about this" Sakura sighed "They saw their err… lovers cheating on them" Sakura explained.
"I see, request granted" Tsunade nodded "I will tell the teachers that you four had an important emergency to go to"
"Thank you Tsunade-sama" Sakura stood up and bowed before leaving the office.
--
"You in a principal's office? I never thought I'd see the day" Sasuke smirked.
"Oh for the love of Kami" Sakura exclaimed quietly as she stood in shock that the four boys were in front of her "What are you guys doing here? How long have you been here?" Sakura interrogated.
"Not long, we were just passing by, have you seen Tenten, Temari or Hinata-chan?" Naruto asked.
"What were you in there for?" Sasuke questioned.
"Well…you see…I haven't seen them…and…I'm off to the bathroom now…see you in class" Sakura muttered hastily as she ran away from the males again.
"Maybe it's her time of the month?" Naruto muttered.
"She's been acting very weird" Shikamaru noted.
"Aa" Sasuke nodded.
--
Rushing into the bathroom, Sakura found the three girls there, with slightly puffy eyes, but their cheeks were tear stained any more and they weren't hiccupping and crying.
"So how did it go?" Tenten asked nervously.
"It went good, we are allowed to go" Sakura nodded.
"Thank you Sakura-chan" Temari thanked.
"Welcome, now, let's get out of here" Sakura nodded as she peeked out of the bathroom to find the halls empty before walking out calmly, followed by the three girls. Suddenly as the four were about to walk away form the school they were stopped by the four males.
"It seems rather odd that you would be peeking out of the bathroom before coming out Scholar-girl" Sasuke questioned. Turning around, Tenten, Temari and Hinata cringed at the sight before them; their boyfriends.
"Ano, Hinata-chan why are you crying?" Naruto asked.
"Err…." Hinata stuttered.
"Why were you crying Tenten-chan?" Neji asked.
"And you Temari-chan?" Shikamaru asked.
"…" the three girls didn't say anything and basically hid behind Sakura.
"Err…well…you see…they were…crying from…joy?" Sakura sweatdropped before she raced out of the hallway dragging the three girls out of the school with her.
"Something is up with the girls" Shikamaru stated.
"Well we can see that" Neji scoffed.
"They're all acting very weird" Naruto frowned.
"Very Weird" Sasuke nodded.
--
"Oi, where are the girls? They should be here by now" Naruto frowned, looking aroud for the girls in the gym.
"I don't know Naruto" Neji sighed.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Sakura asked as they walked through a super market Tenten, Hinata and Temari had never been in before.
"Where is this place?" Tenten asked bluntly.
"It's where I shop, a lot cheaper if you ask me too, so what do you want?" Sakura asked.
"Err…ice cream" Temari muttered.
"Okay" Sakura nodded and directed them to the ice cream section of the store "Pick any of them you want, three each at max" Sakura sighed.
"Really?" Tenten squealed.
"Yea, go ahead" Sakura nodded; as she watched the three girls raid the freezers for the tubs of ice cream that they wanted. By the end each girl had three tubs of ice cream in the hold of various flavours and allowed Sakura to pay for them before they went to her house, and she grudgingly allowed them into her room to 'hang out' and eat their ice cream.
"I still can't believe they would do that to us" Tenten sulked as she stuffed another mouthful of triple chocolate ice cream into her mouth.
"It'll be okay, seriously" Sakura comforted awkwardly.
"How can you say that?" Temari cried.
"Because it always ends up fine" Sakura said (not actually believing her own words but hey)
"B-b-but...N-n-naruto-kun...they cheated on us!" Hinata wailed.
"Look…you guys are all on your third tub of ice cream, you have got remains of ice cream all over you along with tears and drool, if you want, there's a hot spring in the back yard, we can clean our selves there and you get changed into something of mine" Sakura offered.
"Hot spring?" Tenten questioned, still sniffling.
"Yea" Sakura nodded.
"You would really let us?" Tenten cried.
"If you really want to" Sakura sighed.
"Please" Hinata pleaded.
"Yea sure, you want to pick something to change into first?" Sakura asked.
"Hai" the girl nodded. Unlocking her wardrobe, the girl directed her friends to the furthest part of the wardrobe where a red curtain hung.
"Now, if I open this curtain and let you use any of this, you promise and swear on your life you won't tell Mikoto or any one else? And you won't force me to wear any of this stuff?" Sakura questioned, holding the curtain.
"We promise" the girl nodded in unison. Acknowledging that they agreed Sakura pulled the curtain open to reveal a whole other wardrobe full of outfits Sakura had never worn before, simply, it was all girly outfits, there were ball gowns, sun dresses, skirts, formal wear, shoes, hats, jewellry, anything and everything that was girly in some way, it was there in the wardrobe.
"S-Sakura-chan" Hinata stuttered.
"This is amazing!" Temari squealed.
"Why don't you ever wear any of this?" Tenten wailed.
"I don't like this style of clothing, this is really the only stuff that my parents bought me" Sakura shrugged "Pick anything you want, pajamas are on the second shell of the third row" Sakura sighed as she leaned on the wall and waited for the girls to finish.
"This is all so cute!" Tenten squealed before she gasped and came across something that caught her eye "Temari-chan, Hinata-chan!" Tenten called over. Both girls gasped before they lunged towards Sakura and hugged the girl.
"Woah! What's up?" Sakura questioned.
"You kept them! You kept them!" Temari cried in joy.
"Kept what?" Sakura growled.
"The clothes we bought at the beach!" Hinata hugged the girl even tighter.
"Oh right, those" Sakura sweatdropped "Done picking whatever you wanted?"
"Just a second" all girls said in unison.
"S-Saku-chan!" a voice gasped as the person gazed around the wardrobe, a part he had never seen before.
"Nani?" Sakura asked, very bored and irritated.
"Why don't you wear any of this stuff?" Daichi exclaimed, pointing to a big pink fluffy dress.
"I don't like this stuff" Sakura sighed.
"Sakura-chan, we're done here" Tenten smiled, each girl with a pair of pajamas in their hands and a separate outfit.
"Hello Daichi-san" Hinata smiled.
"What are you three doing here?" Daichi questioned.
"It's a girl thing" Temari explained.
"Then why is Sakura here?" Daichi questioned, Sakura became very irked and was tempted to kick the guy to Mars.
"I live here remember?" Sakura glared.
"Yea, but they said it was a girl thing" Daichi frowned.
"Look, something happened at school, and for some reason, I offered them to shout them three tubs of ice cream each and come over here" Sakura explained.
"But school just finished" Daichi frowned.
"We left before school" Tenten explained.
"Okay, who are you and what have you done with my little imouto?!?!?!?!" Daichi cried pointing to the bored looking blossom.
"Ok, let's go" Sakura sighed locking the wardrobe as they walked out and directed her friends to the hot springs.
"This is so nice" Tenten sighed in relief as the tension in her muscles was released, similar to the other girls.
"Thank you Sakura-chan" Temari smiled.
"Yea, thanks for everything" Hinata nodded.
"Welcome" Sakura smiled as she leaned back and relaxed like the other three girls.
"How do you do it?" Tenten asked, tears forming in her eyes again, like the other three.
"What do you mean?' Sakura frowned.
"You have perfect grades; you do so many extra curricular activities, you have so many talents and you always know to reach in any situation" Tenten explained.
"I still don't understand where you're getting at" Sakura scowled in confusion.
"You are impassive, even with the most shocking things" Tenten cried.
"Why doesn't it affect you? That Sasuke was seen kissing a girl he apparently hated?!" Temari cried.
"Because I have no emotional ties to the boy" Sakura sighed.
"But you are friends, and I could have sworn something more" Hinata said.
"No, Sasuke and I are nothing more than friends and class mates, perhaps good friends but nothing beyond that" Sakura answered.
"But doesn't it hurt to see him doing such a thing?" Tenten cried.
"Not really, it was his own choice to do such a thing" Sakura said, closing her eyes, enjoying the warmth that eradiated from the hot spring.
"That's the reason why admire you Sakura-chan" Tenten sighed.
"Admire?" Sakura asked.
"Yea, you don't care about things unless it affects you personally, and you help people even though you have no idea what you're doing" Tenten smiled.
"You're strong" Temari said.
"You're repeating what Hinata told me once" Sakura sighed.
"Because it's true" Hinata smiled.
"Aa"
'SHANNARO!!! This has gone on long enough!'the inner Sakura screamed in frustration. Currently it was one week since the boys had 'betrayed them' and the three girls decided to avoid them as much as possible as to do what Sakura had done during the year and switch where they sat during lunch and morning breaks, of course, they dragged the blossom along with them constantly and it was beginning to drive the girl insane. They had been over to her house almost every day with tears, begging to allow them to stay over, and of course, Sakura had no choice but to invite them in and spend $30 or so on ice cream, depending on their craving.
"Okay, guys, I'm just going to go to the bathroom alright?" Sakura sighed as she got up from the north wing roof top floor and walked down the stairs towards the bathroom.
--
"Why can't they just get over it?" Sakura muttered to herself "This is becoming quite annoying" Sakura sighed as she walked towards her locker and pulled out another box of tissues.
"What's becoming quite annoying?" Sasuke asked.
"Why can't who get over what?" Neji inquired.
"Where are the girls?" Shikamaru interrogated.
"Where's my Hinata-chan?!" Naruto wailed.
"Excellent timing" Sakura muttered to her self
'Maybe to get the girls off our backs we need to put them together'
'I agree…but how…'
'I don't know…'
'I've got it!'
"Look, Sasuke and I have music next, I'll explain it all to you then and you can tell the rest okay?" Sakura suggested.
"What's happening?" Neji asked watching the girl look around suspiciously before grabbing a hold of each of the guys and dragging them to a secretive corner.
"Okay, now I'm saying this once and only once! Got it?" Sakura glared at them.
"Yes we got it" Naruto nodded.
"Okay, roughly a week ago, you guys weren't at the usual spot we sit at for lunch and so the girls dragged me to find you, and well…we found you, just not in the way they expected, nor wanted. They saw you guys making out with one of the fangirls and they were extremely hurt, so I allowed them to stay at my house for the night to recover. Since then they have been at my house every day! Please! I beg of you! Help me get them to forgive you!" Sakura pleaded.
"What you saw was a very forced thing, those troublesome fangirls cornered us and started making out with us!" Shikamaru explained.
"I don't want explanations! All I want is your credit cards with pin numbers for your deposit boxes!" Sakura glared.
"Why credit cards?" Sasuke questioned.
"Because…as much as I'm going to regret this…I will take them shopping to buy stuff and then you guys come in and get them to forgive you okay?" Sakura explained, gritting her teeth in frustration.
"You've thought through this haven't you?" Sasuke smirked.
"Have you had three teary eyed girls come to your house every day demanding to buy ice cream and whatever else so they can binge?!" Sakura breathed slowly to calm herself down "Naruto, Neji, Shikamaru, credit cards and pin numbers NOW!" Sakura ordered.
"Okay, okay" Neji sighed as he pulled out his credit card and quickly wrote the pin number on the piece of paper Sakura had given them.
"Oi, why don't you need teme's card?" Naruto asked.
"Because those three are the ones who go shopping and they can use your money not mine, I don't want to end up bankrupt" Sakura sighed.
"That doesn't explain why you don't need teme's card" Naruto frowned.
"Because you're Hinata's boyfriend, Neji to Tenten and Shikamaru to Temari, you guys should be paying for this because they caused it" Sakura glared.
"Oh" Naruto nodded.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go, I'll text you guys the details tonight after they've gone to sleep or when ever I get the chance" Sakura sighed, knowing what her night was going to be like tonight.
"Okay, I'm going to give you a once in a life-time offer" Sakura sighed 'And there goes my dignity' "Tomorrow, since it is the weekend, I will willingly get changed into one of the many outfits that I have in the wardrobe that are considered 'feminine' and I will go shopping with you guys" Sakura offered.
"Really?!" Tenten squealed.
"Yes" Sakura answered "And you can stay over tonight if you really must" Sakura muttered.
"Thank you thank you thank you" Temari shrieked hugging the girl.
"But how are you going to pay for it?" Hinata questioned.
"Here I have three credit cards and pin numbers of Daichi's, we will use those" Sakura smirked.
"You are evil" Tenten smirked.
"But I love you!" Temari squealed.
"Okay, are all of you ready?" Sakura sighed, right now the girl was wearing a white skirt which had a light red belt going around the hip and tied on the left hip with a bright purple flower covering the knot and as a top she wore a simple black singlet top which had a cherry blossom flower in the middle. Her hair was in the usual buns with two small red ribbons and her shoes were red ballet flats. Hanging on her shoulder was a small pink purse to carry her money, phone and pager. The other three girl's outfits were similar only instead of pink Tenten wore a green halter neck top, Temari wore a yellow elbow length, shoulder cut top and Hinata wore a blue long sleeved top and each had a different flower on the top.
"Yup!" Tenten chirped.
"Okay, please don't lose these cards" Sakura sighed as she handed each girl a credit card and the pin code, written in her writing (so the girls won't get suspicious). Tenten got a blue card, Hinata got an orange hard and Temari got a brown coloured card.
"Thanks Sakura-chan" Tenten smiled.
"You guys meet me outside and we'll walk to the shops since their close, I'm just going to make sure all calls to this house are directed to my mobile okay?" Sakura said.
"Hai" the girls nodded as they raced down stairs waiting for the girl.
Quickly texting a message to the guys the girl closed her phone and made sure everything was in tact before walking outside where the girls were waiting.
"When is she going to send us that stupid message?!" Naruto exclaimed, extremely worried that Sakura forgot.
"I don't know-" Suddenly a loud beeping sound erupted from Sasuke's pocket, indicating that a message had just been received.
'Okay, we're going shopping now, meet us at the Gloria Jeans Coffee Shop in three hours (12 pm) I'll try and get a centre table so you guys can up from behind each girl and take them away
Sakura'
"She said meet the girl at 12pm, you've got three hours" Sasuke said.
"She's good" Neji muttered.
"She wants the girls off her back" Sasuke smirked.
"I've noticed" Shikamaru sighed.
"Okay, so where do you guys want to shop first?" Sakura asked as they wondered around the large mall looking at all the shops they passed.
"I don't care, let's start here!" Temari squealed as she ran into a random stall and began shuffling through various clothes, trying each outfit on before adding it to a pile for her to buy.
"I don't believe it, in three hours this is all we bought" Temari frowned looking at the ten bags surrounding her, and the ten or so bags surrounding her friends (aside Sakura).
"I know, we've bought more in an hour" Tenten frowned.
"Well, I still think you guys bought a lot, too much if you ask me" Sakura sighed "Come on, let's go for some coffee" Sakura suggested, directing them to a Gloria Jeans Coffee Shop and sitting in a middle coffee table that had arm couches surrounding it.
"Thank you Sakura-chan" Tenten smiled a sad smile.
"Don't you dare start bawling on me" Sakura threatened mockingly which caused the three girls to laugh.
"But seriously, thank you, you've done so much for us during this past week, when you would have been doing training or something" Temari smiled.
"You can thank me later" Sakura smirked, noting that the guys had walked up behind each of the girls.
"What do you mean?" Hinata asked, not noticing the guys behind them yet.
"Look behind each of you" Sakura smirked. Turning around each girl was shocked to find their boyfriends behind them, with either a sincere smile, smirk, apologetic look or a weird combination of all three.
"Why are they here?!" Tenten glared.
"Because you three need to get over this whole thing and make up with them" Sakura said.
"Just because they are here doesn't mean we'll talk with them" Temari scoffed.
"Don't you owe them?" Sakura asked.
"For what?" Tenten asked.
"All that shopping you have done today is courtesy of their money, the money you used was from their deposit boxes, don't you have the decency to speak to them since you spent their money?" Sakura questioned.
"We'll just return the clothes and shoes and other things we bought" Hinata said, crossing her arms defiantly.
"Those items have a no return policy since I asked for it" Sakura smirked.
"You're evil!" Tenten, Temari and Hinata glared.
"Thank you, now if you'll excuse me, I have a carpet to clean and ice cream containers to dispose of" Sakura smiled, picking her self up from the arm couch and walking away and turning a corner, before pausing and making sure that the three couples were cooperating and fixing things (Sasuke right behind her).
"You're good" Sasuke smirked, watching the girl spy on the three couples.
"Aa" Sakura sighed, noting that they all separated but were talking calmly amongst each other. Sighing irritably, Sakura walked away form the coffee shop and away from the shops with Sasuke.
"Did you want something Sasuke?" Sakura questioned as the two sat outside the shopping centre on a park bench.
"Not really" Sasuke muttered, blushing slightly.
"Well, I'll go then" Sakura smiled as she stood up and waved to the Uchiha before walking away.
"Matte" Sasuke spoke hastily.
"Nani?" Sakura asked innocently.
"Do you want to go out some where?" Sasuke asked nervously.
"Err…" Sakura stuttered slightly, noticing the slightly pink tinge on the boy's features.
"It'd be a shame to waste the chance of you in a dress in public" Sasuke smirked, back to his confident self noting that Sakura was now the one with the pink tint on her face.
"Sure" Sakura nodded as Sasuke took her hand and guided her around down, as if they were more than just good friends.
"Is there anything in particular you wanted to go today?" Sasuke questioned, guiding the girl around the town.
"Any where is fine" Sakura smiled.
"Come on then" Sasuke smirked as he took the girl to the train station and bought to train tickets for him and the girl.
"Where are we going?" Sakura asked as they took a seat on the train, Sasuke sitting next to her.
"You'll see" Sasuke smirked, noting that the girl was very nervous and not exactly sure of what was happening right now "Relax" Sasuke smirked, staring into her eyes. Smiling in recognition, the girl breathed deeply before taking a long look at the scenery. As time passed, the girl adjusted slowly to the movement before the carriages stopped and Sasuke guided the girl out of the train and towards another building site.
"Do you think your plan worked?" Tenten asked.
"Oh, I think it worked brilliantly" Neji smirked.
"Just tell us that you forgive us for that err…incident…last week" Shikamaru sighed.
"Of course we have Shika-kun" Temari purred as she hugged the boy.
"We knew you wouldn't do what you did on purpose" Hinata smiled as she pecked Naruto on the lips.
"The water works we played on Sakura were just eye drops" Tenten smirked.
"That's evil" Neji sneered.
"So is she" Temari scoffed.
"She'll owe us for this" Tenten smirked.
"We owe Mikoto-chan for such a brilliant plan" Hinata smirked.
"Close your eyes" Sasuke ordered.
"Hai" Hesitantly, the girl closed her eyes and allowed Sasuke to direct her to where ever he wanted to take the girl.
"Just a little more" Sasuke said, leading the girl around crowds, lamp posts and anything else. Noting that where ever they were going, it was quite a while away, Sakura sighed inwardly as she held onto Sasuke's hand, making sure not to let go. Suddenly they came to a stop "Okay open your eyes"
Slowly eyelids lifted to show the emerald orbs that they were hiding. Staring shock she averted her gaze to Sasuke with a confused look on her face because in front of her was an amusement park, and not just any amusement park, the biggest and most expensive amusement park in Konoha; filled with games and rides this was the funnest, largest, best amusement park in all of Konoha, able to accommodate over ten thousand people at once with rides such as roller coasters, flying chairs, giant slides, bumper cars, free fall drops, merry go rounds, love boat ride, the pirate ship and plenty of others as well as apparently the best haunted house and food stalls any where, with quality prizes for games. Noticing the confused look the girl was sending him, the boy smirked and moved behind her, leaning down so his breathe tickled her neck.
"I figured you could use a little more fun in your life" Sasuke smirked noticing a little pink coming onto her cheeks.
"Err…I…h-have plenty of fun…in my own life" Sakura stuttered as she pushed the blush back down and calming herself down.
"Yea right" Sasuke coughed.
"Why should I go anyway?" Sakura huffed defiantly.
"Because you owe me" Sasuke smirked, flicking the girl on her forehead.
"Owe you?" Sakura frowned, rubbing her forehead where Sasuke had just flicked.
"Yea, remember that big storm at the beginning of the year?" Sakura questioned.
"…" Sakura remained silent.
"I'll take your silence as a yes" Sasuke smirked "Come on" Sasuke insisted.
"Oh no it's okay" Sakura shook her head waving her hands in front of her face "I don't have the money for this anyway"
"Who said you were paying?" Sasuke questioned as he led the girl towards the ticket booth.
"No, no, you don't have to pay for me these tickets cost heaps to get, I'm fine seriously, I'll just go home and clean up the ice cream re-" Sakura insisted.
"Come on" Sasuke took the girl's slender hand and dragged her through the amusement park gates "Anything in particular you want to go on?" Sasuke asked.
"Anything is fine" Sakura muttered, not happy that Sasuke had just paid for her to get in, and these tickets were very expensive to get, ignoring the fact that a lot of people were already here.
"Cheer up, come on" Sasuke sighed, pulling the girl towards one of the many rides. Upon arriving at one of the many rides, Sakura's eyes bulged out of their sockets when she realized what ride Sasuke had picked; the biggest, fastest, and apparently scariest and longest thrill ride ever, The Snake, it had been rumoured to be the longest, fastest, scariest and longest, most heart-stopping rollercoaster in Konoha, or any where else for that matter.
"W-why don't we do something else?" Sakura stuttered; she wasn't really scared of the ride; it's just that she valued her heart and limbs far more than a thrill ride.
"What scared?" Sasuke mocked.
"Of course not" Sakura scoffed "I just don't want to go on it now" Sakura scowled.
"Come on, we'll go on the tea cups after this if it makes you feel any better" Sasuke offered.
"I'll go on this any day over the teacups" Sakura seemed to be turning green at the thought of spinning around in those teacups continuously without a chance of stopping for at least five minutes; in her mind it was sickening.
"Come on then" Sasuke smirked as he dragged the girl towards one of the many carriages for the coaster which would lock them in place with a safety bar, a chain and three safety belts.
"That's comforting" Sakura muttered taking note of all the safety measures they put on the ride. Slowly the girl sat on the seat of the carriage next to Sasuke as the ride attendant locked them in place and the metal bar fell down across their shoulders and onto their laps. Knowing she was going to regret going on this ride after woods the girl prepared her self for the chance that she would throw up or die on the ride, but if that happened, her ghost would haunt Sasuke until he died, so it was all good in a way.
Suddenly a bell alarmed the girl who noted that it was probably to indicate that the ride was starting as the carriages started moving across the tracks, gradually getting faster each second before it began racing at incredible speeds along the wired tracks. Going up and around, side to side, upside down, down side up, one loop, two loops, three loops; it was becoming extremely sickening in a way, but Sakura would have to admit, the thrill of going at incredibly fast speeds was exhilarating. Continuing on the fast coaster, the carriage went around the course three times getting faster with each round as the girl was pushed into the seat of the carriage from the forces they were pushed against. By the end of the third round, the carriage began to gradually slow down as it arrived to the front where ride attendants were waiting for the carriage to stop in front of them to release the passengers from their seats and allow them to go away before letting another lot of customers onto the joy ride.
"Come on Scholar-girl" Sasuke chuckled slightly after looking at the dizzy look on the girl's face 'I wonder if she realized that half way through that she grabbed my hand?' Sasuke pondered looking at the almost green girl.
"Hai, hai" Sakura mumbled as she wobbled off the carriage and followed Sasuke to where ever he was intending to go next.
'I feel so dizzy'
'So do I, stop for a second so I can get my equilibrium back to normal'
'Woah! I need to sit down for a second'
"Sasuke, can I just sit down for a second?" Sakura muttered as she tumbled and twirled her way to a near by bench.
"Yea sure" Sasuke nodded, noting that the girl had already started making her way over to a bench and was sitting down, holding her head, occasionally spinning.
"That coffee isn't sitting well" Sakura muttered as she felt her head slowly slow down and stop spinning.
"You obviously have never been on a roller coaster before" Sasuke voiced.
"Aa" 'I feel like I'm going to be sick' Sakura thought as her other arm wrapped around her stomach.
"You alright there?" Sasuke asked sitting down next to the girl concerned.
"Give me a moment" Sakura muttered.
"This proves you have no fun in your life" Sasuke smirked.
"How so?" Sakura questioned.
"You got dizzy and light headed after one coaster ride" Sasuke smirked.
"So?" Sakura mumbled.
"I'm guessing this is the first time you have ever been on a roller coaster or to an amusement park" Sasuke said.
"So what if it is?" Sakura glared slightly, the queasy feeling in her stomach slowly disappearing along with the light headed feeling.
"You can't have had any fun in your life if you have never been to an amusement park" Sasuke scoffed.
"And you would be an expert on this? Mr. Cold-hearted-chicken-ass bastard?" Sakura glared.
"A lot more than you" Sasuke smirked "You may have topped the year with perfect grades, but you sure are dumb when it comes to things like this"
"Whatever" Sakura muttered.
"Come on, let's go" Sasuke ordered, taking her hand again, to make sure he wouldn't lose her of course not for any other reason.
"Aa" Sakura muttered. 'Why am I still here?' Sakura wondered.
Following the Uchiha around the park, the pair continued walking through the crowds and passed various stalls before coming to a stand still in front of another ride; bumper cars.
"Bumper cars?" Sakura questioned.
"Well, at least you know what they are" Sasuke smirked, dragging the girl into the line of people who were lining up to go on the ride and hit each other with the cars. Step by step the line got smaller and smaller until the pair were finally at the front of the line and were separating into two different cars, Sakura in a black one and Sasuke in a dark blue one. Again a bell sound alarmed before cars began racing in a clock wise motion, bumping into any of the others cars that got in their way. Not entirely sure of what to do, the cherry blossom pressed the accelerator and started driving the almost uncontrollable car like the other people around the mini race course. Looking around at the other people, the girl noticed that a lot were bumping into each other for the sake of it, confused, the girl just kept driving around the race course before her car came to a sudden halt as a car from behind her hit into her. Turning around abruptly the girl glared when she realized it was Sasuke who had hit her and pressed the accelerator to get revenge on him.
"Later Scholar-girl" Sasuke waved mockingly as he raced away from the slightly angry girl. Glaring, the girl pressed slightly harder before smashing into Sasuke her self and moved away, waving a mocking salute.
"Whoops total accident, sorry Chicken-ass" Sakura sneered 'accidentally' bumping into another person from behind.
"So it's this game eh?" Sasuke glared and smirked "You're on" Sasuke smirked evilly as he rammed his car into the pink haired girl's car, driving off immediately; starting the almost endless cat and mouse game of tag. Slowly five minutes passed as another alarm went off indicating that it was the end of their turn and that they had to either go back in line for another turn or get lost; either was fine with the ride attendants. Sighing and still wondering why she was here, the girl got out of her car and walked out of the ride arena and waited for Sasuke to catch up to her outside.
"Ready to go?" Sasuke asked, finding a bored looking Sakura waiting outside.
"Aa" Sakura nodded before she and Sasuke began going from ride to ride, surprisingly the blossom girl enjoying her self a lot more than she had intended to at the beginning of their arrival to the amusement park. After the bumper cars they went to the 'Flying chairs ride', then the pirate ship after the free fall drop and the space ship simulator before stopping for a little break.
"And you wanted to go home and clean carpets" Sasuke scoffed as the two walked into the food area of the fun park.
"They still need to be-" Sakura began before being interrupted by three high pitched squeals.
"OMG!!!! Sasuke-kun!!" the first voice squealed, capable of breaking any sound barriers near by. Instantly, Ino jumped onto Sasuke's back and began purring into the crook of his neck.
"Get off me Yamanaka" Sasuke glared.
"Why don't you come with me and my friends and we can enjoy the rest of the day together having fun?" Ino snuggled deeper into Sasuke's neck, almost appearing as if he had two heads.
"Hello Sasuke-kun" a girl squeaked, well this was something new, Ino has other friends with her. This girl looked a lot older than the blossom by about three or fours years with short brown hair, hazel blue eyes, wearing a green tank top showing her pierced belly buttons and a white mini net ball styled skirt with white thongs.
"It's nice to finally meet you, I can see why Ino-chan talks about you constantly about her being your girlfriend" the final girl smirked. She had red curly hair with chocolate brown eyes. She was wearing a yellow boob tube which fell to her hips with an orange mini skirt and pink ballet flats. Ino seemed to be wearing the less amount of clothing with a tight fitting black mini leather skirt with a purple halter neck top which showed her stomach and purple stilettos.
'Geez, what a way to spoil a day' Sakura sighed inwardly, feeling something inside her snap as anger poured through her system, although it was a different type of anger that the girl felt, which was odd, it just pumped through her system the more she looked at Ino on Sasuke.
"Though, I don't get why you are spending your day with this ugly pink haired girl when you could be spending quality time with your girl friend" the red haired girl scoffed.
"Oh silly, Mimi-chan, Sasuke-kun doesn't like to show his feelings publicly" Ino scoffed "Sasuke-kun, meet my friends Mimi-chan and Bell-chan" Ino introduced.
"I'm not this woman's boyfriend" Sasuke scoffed, prying the blonde pig off his back "Never had and never will be, come on Sakura" Sasuke called as he took the girl by the hand and began to drag her away.
"You'd rather take that slut than spend time with Ino-chan?" Mimi gasped.
"Say good bye little girl, the little kids section is over in the other direction, this is for ten and over" Bell sneered, flicking her in the forehead.
'Why didn't you say so? I should have brought you over there a long time ago' Sakura muttered inwardly.
'Let me out! Let me kick their ass!'
'Shut up!'
'Just one hit, one hit, I swear!'
'Forget about it, I'd get blamed from it not you'
"You heard me, scat, Sasuke-kun wants to be with some one more attractive" Bell glared.
"Well, if you won't go away, we'll just take our leave then won't we Sasuke-kun?" Mimi pleaded as she, Ino and Bell began to drag Sasuke away from the blossom, only to infuriate the girl a whole lot more before glaring at them and calming her self down before walking away towards the food stands, trying to find something to eat.
'I beg of you, just one flick on each of their heads, just one'
'Get lost'
'You're no fun'
"Hmm...corn dogs, hot dogs, burgers, fries, chicken sticks, nachos, chilly dogs…" Sakura listed as she past each stall seeing what each was selling, her face scrunching in disgust at the thought of having to eat that stuff "There has to be something" Sakura muttered as she continued to search the isles of stalls looking for something to satisfy her hunger while Sasuke was being dragged off begrudgingly by the three fangirls. Glancing at each stall, the blossom sighed and trudged back towards a stall that sold toffee apples.
"Hi, do you sell just plain apples without the toffee coating?" Sakura asked, in her mind pleading that they did.
"Yea we do, how many would you like?" the woman asked.
"Three will be fine thanks" Sakura smiled.
"Sure, that will be three dollars" the woman smiled as she and the girl traded cash for food.
"Thanks" Sakura nodded before taking the three apples, shoving two in her bag with her money and sat at on of the picnic tables near by. Sighing in slight irritation, the girl bit into the apple in her hand, breaking off a piece and began eating slightly aggressively.
'What's with this anger feeling?' Sakura wondered, trying to calm herself down.
"Finally I found you!" Sasuke sighed in relief as he watched the bored looking blossom eat her apple slightly irked "What's wrong with you?" Sasuke asked bluntly.
"Hmm? Nothing's wrong" Sakura replied bored, eating another portion of her apple, it's not like she could actually answer him truthfully since she had no idea why she was feeling angry.
"It doesn't look like it" Sasuke raised a questioning eyebrow at the girl.
"You must be blind or something, I'm fine" Sakura said, eating another chunk of apple, really irritated still.
"Come on, what's wrong?" Sasuke asked.
"Nothing is wrong" Sakura replied, finishing off her apple and tossing it behind her carelessly.
"If nothing was wrong what was with that toss?" Sasuke questioned.
"I needed to dispose of my apple core some where" Sakura said, pointing to the bin conveniently placed behind her, where her apple core had landed and walked away from the Uchiha, who she felt some anger towards for some reason.
"Where are you going?" Sasuke asked, noting that her behaviour was slightly off for some reason.
"I'm bored, I'm going to see if this place is really worth all its worth" Sakura explained, carelessly walking away from the boy, and towards the House of Horror, apparently the scariest horror house any where and every where.
"House of Horror?" Sasuke questioned.
"If this place is really that great, their horror house must be at least a tiny bit good, if you don't want to come in you don't have to" Sakura said with anger in her voice.
"Eh?" Sasuke muttered; shocked about the last bit she said before chuckling at the girl.
"What's so funny?" Sakura asked.
"I would have never guessed that you, the girl with perfect grades would be jealous" Sasuke smirked, suddenly Sakura began choking, it seemed not all the apple had gone down completely yet.
"Say what? Why would I be jealous?" Sakura choked.
"Beats me, may be you were jealous that I was being flooded by other girls" Sasuke sneered.
"Please, that's ridiculous" Sakura scoffed, walking away from Sasuke angrily and slightly flustered into the Haunted House.
"Ridiculous? It makes sense if you ask me" Sasuke voiced.
"Pft! Please, I would know when I feel jealous" Sakura scoffed, walking even faster away from Sasuke, taking in what was around her, creepy face changing mermaids, various ghosts, piano playing eerie music with no one at the piano, hands falling occasionally, screams echoing through the halls of the house; creepy doors with cobwebs hanging off them, wolf howling, suspicious carnivorous growling that could be mistaken for a meat lover eating a piece of meat and snarling at something, mirrors with your own reflection, funny looking witches and warlocks appearing out of no where, an occasional banging…hmmm….boring!
'Is this seriously it?' Sakura wondered, yawning and completely bored "Well this has bored me to tears" Sakura muttered "I've seen scarier things at Suna school cafeterias" Sakura scoffed to her self. Suddenly an ear piercing scream echoed through the house before the three girls from before came racing out and clung to Sasuke's arms.
"Waaahhhh!!!! Sasuke-kun this place is so scary!" Ino wailed.
"Why did you go in here?" Mimi cried.
"Please guide us out quickly" Bell begged.
"Now that's scary" Sakura commented, chuckling at the three scared girls who had yet to notice the blossom 'I dare you to scare the shit out of them, you got your phone with you'
'I accept' Sakura smirked evilly as she discreetly pulled out her phone found something that sounded eerie piano music and began playing it before walking behind them quietly.
"Wowowoowowoowowowoowowowowow" Sakura moaned hauntingly, getting louder as she walked behind the three girls and Sasuke and slowly coming to their height. Instantly the three girls began to look every where for the source of the noise, scared of what it would possibly be.
"Boo!" Sakura shouted in their ears with her phone glaring light under her face to make her look even creepier, scaring the shit of the three girls as they ran squealing out of the house of Horror.
"Bwahahahahahahahahahah!!!!" Sakura laughed "I bwahahaha can't believe hahahahhahhaa they fell ahahahah for that bwahhaahahahahahahaha!" Sakura cackled as she doubled over in pain from laughing at the three squealing girls. Looking down at the laughing girl, Sasuke twitched slightly before sighing and waiting for the girl to finish. Slowly after about ten minutes the girl began to regain her composure (much to Sasuke's relief) and began breathing rather hastily.
"You done there?" Sasuke questioned, helping the girl back onto her feet.
"Yea" Sakura giggled slightly.
"Come on then" Sasuke sighed as he pulled the girl out of the horror house (which he had to admit was slightly scary) and out of the doors of the haunted fun house to find that it was already dark.
"Well, since it's dark…we should probably go home now-" Sakura yelped slightly as she was once again pulled by the hand by Sasuke was leading her to something else.
"Just because it's dark doesn't mean we have to leave" Sasuke smirked.
"But it's late" Sakura whined.
"Come on, just one more ride I swear" Sasuke promised.
"Fine" Sakura sighed as she followed Sasuke around the fun park once again, passing many games stalls, the bright lights and prizes seeming to catch her attention for a second making her lag behind Sasuke slightly which he noticed. For some reason, the soft plushie snow leopard toy with a black ribbon around its neck seemed to grab her attention and draw her to it.
"Want it?" Sasuke asked from behind her.
"Eh? No, no, it'd be pointless to have, I don't need something so trivial" Sakura sweatdropped, though for some reason, her heart ached to have the soft plushies in her arms.
"One game please" Sasuke asked the game attendant, paying the five dollars for the darts game.
"No, Sasuke, it's not necessary really" Sakura insisted.
"It'll take five minutes" Sasuke sighed, trying to reassure the girl that it would be okay as he was handed five darts. Within five minutes, Sasuke had hit the bulls' eye five times in a row, earning him the grand prize which was the soft plushie that Sakura had her eyes on before. Receiving the leopard plushie, Sasuke walked over to the blossom and handed it to her.
"Here" Sasuke placed the soft toy in front of the girl's face.
"No, no, no, it's okay, give it to your mother or some one else" Sakura insisted waving her hands in front of her face and shaking her head.
"I got it for you" Sasuke scowled "You know, it's alright to take some thing from some one else if they offer it to you" Sasuke sighed as he took the girl's hands and put the leopard in them, who was now slightly blushing.
"A-arigato" Sakura stuttered before she felt her self being dragged away by the boy.
"Come on, just one more ride" Sasuke insisted.
"Hai" Sakura nodded as she hugged the toy closer to her.
Arriving at their final destination, Sakura's eyes took to the sky as she looked at the height of the final ride Sasuke had chosen to take; The Ferris Wheel.
"This?" Sakura inquired, pointing to the ride.
"Yup, come on, there's a booth waiting" Sasuke nodded guiding the girl to the said booth which was coloured in blue features with bars to stop people from falling out so people could see everything so much clearer outside the carriage.
"Sasuke-kun! What an excellent idea!" Ino squealed as she pulled the Uchiha into the carriage with her two lackeys who were trying to push Sakura out of the carriage but failed when Sasuke had stopped them. Instantly as the booth door was closed, they were lifted in the air allowing them to see the glowing lights of other rides in the amusement park as well as the rest of the city that surrounded the fun park. Instantly Ino squealed in delight as they were lifted into the air and looked down onto the life form below hugging onto Sasuke who was diagonally opposite the girl, who was unfortunately stuck next to the red haired girl while the brunette was next to Ino.
"This is so pretty Sasuke-kun, it's so romantic" Ino squealed like the pig she was. As the wheel turned the booth rose higher and higher, swaying slightly in the breeze that came about from the higher altitudes. Sighing irritably inwardly, the girl averted her gaze from the flirting Ino and other two fangirls and towards the view of the amusement park and city lights at nights, admiring the simplicity of it all. Slowly, the paused for a moment before continuing on and going around the wheel at a reasonably slow, calming pace for three rounds before going onto its fourth where they had to pause occasionally again, presumably for other people who wanted to ride the Ferris Wheel or get off it. Half way up into the air, music played through the ears of the occupants of the blue wheel. It was the Kawabe Chieco song again. Sighing, the girl pulled out her phone and flipped it open, putting the device to her face to talk into it.
"Moshi mosh? Sakura here" Sakura said monotonously.
"Hai, I will be there, tomorrow at seven wasn't it?" Sakura asked.
"…Alright, six thirty" Sakura sighed.
"That one? Yea alright" Sakura nodded.
"Yea, meet you there, Ja" Sakura sighed hanging up the phone before punching in numbers and waiting for the person on the other line to pick up.
"Hey, Jiraya, it's Sakura" Sakura replied into the phone.
"Yea, look, I can't make it tomorrow morning, can you give me the night shift? And next week, Saturday I can't take the late shift from six onwards" Sakura said.
"Yea, that's the one" Sakura nodded.
"Thanks, bye" Sakura sighed off on the phone and dialed another code of numbers, putting the phone back to her ear.
"Hey there Misaki, look can you tell Chika that I can't make it tomorrow please?" Sakura asked.
"Thanks" Sakura nodded and hung up the phone and put it away as the wheel finished it's full round once again and continued on for another round.
"What was that about?" Sasuke asked.
"Nothing-" Suddenly her phone rung again "Hold on" Sakura sighed as she pulled the electronic device out once again and talked into the phone.
"Moshi mosh, Sakura here" Sakura sighed.
"Oh, hey Akito" Sakura muttered.
"So they decided to hold it?" Sakura wondered.
"Same place as last year yea?" Sakura asked.
"It changed it to there? Wow, what time is it?" Sakura asked.
"Seven pm Sunday next week?" Sakura asked trying to confirm the date.
"Ok, thanks, bye" Sakura sighed and hung up the phone, inwardly swearing.
"What was that about?" Sasuke asked.
"Nothing important, changing a few things in the schedule that's all" Sakura answered, putting her phone away from the last time, unconsciously hugging the leopard on her lap and inwardly shuddering from the cold glare that Ino and her friends sent her.
"Oh" Sasuke muttered, trying to ignore the slight anger that he picked up in Sakura's voice and the stupid girl who kept 'flirting' with him. As time passed, their turn eventually finished and Sasuke, Sakura and those annoying fangirls were let off the ride for a new lot of people to come on and enjoy the view from the highest point in the theme park, calmly.
"Come on, Sasuke-kun let's go on the roller coaster" Ino screamed, begging him to follow her.
"Not happening, go with your friends, Sakura and I are going now" Sasuke glared at the blonde who was continuously tugging on her arm.
"That bitch? You would take that ugly hag of a slut than me?!!!" Ino yelled pointing to the pink haired girl, whose fist has just clenched around the stuffed toy, strangling it around the neck.
'Let me at her!'
"The only Ugly hag of a slut I see here are you and your friends" Sasuke glared.
"What?!" Ino and her friends screeched.
"She's so ugly" Mimi scoffed.
"You like little kids? How disgusting!" Bell glared "Anyway, I thought I told that little girl to go to the little kids area" Bell sneered.
"You did, but this daddy's little slut is a very ignorant little bitch" Ino glared flicking the coral haired girl's forehead.
'Punch them, kick them; hit them! Do something!!!! For the love of Kami!!!'
'Shut up would you?!'
'Don't get angry at me!'
"Just shut up Yamanaka" Sasuke glared at the girl "Come on Sakura" Sasuke ordered, taking the girl's hand in his own and dragging her out of the amusement park and making sure that Ino wouldn't follow them any more. Finally out of the amusement park and a good distance away from it to, both took a small breathe and sighed in relief that Ino wasn't following them any more.
"Now, that is finally over, can I go home now?" Sakura asked slightly irritated that she had just suffered the verbal abuse of Ino and had been in a skirt the entire day.
"Not yet, your brother called me before and asked me to tell you that you have to go grocery shopping since there isn't any food at your home and that he wants me to make sure you eat something" Sasuke sighed.
"He could have just called me" Sakura muttered.
"I said you wouldn't answer your phone if he had called you" Sasuke raised a questioning eyebrow.
"Oh, right" Sakura sweatdropped.
"Come on, let's go get something to eat" Sasuke said dragging the girl through the north half of Konoha for food.
"What do you think they are doing now Neji-kun?" Tenten asked.
"I wouldn't have a clue, them Uchiha's are a mystery to me" Neji muttered.
"I just hope they are actually together" Temari sighed.
"According to Daichi, they are" Shikamaru said.
"Yea, apparently they are at the amusement park up north" Hinata nodded.
"Awww…they are so lucky going there for a day" Naruto whined.
"Yea" they all nodded in unison.
"Well, Sasuke promised Daichi that he would make sure Sakura would eat something, because knowing her, she would most likely not eat anything served at the amusement park" Tenten pondered.
"So there may be a chance that they will come back as an item" Temari squealed.
"I sure hope so" Mikoto squealed.
"Woah! Where'd you come from?" Naruto exclaimed.
"I've been here all along" Mikoto chirped.
"Man, you are so different from other Uchiha's" Shikamaru sighed.
"What exactly is this place?" Sakura frowned as they stepped into a local fast food restaurant, looking around at the incredibly bright lights, loads of customers and workers at the cash register.
"You've never been into a fast food joint?" Sasuke questioned.
"No" Sakura scowled.
"Man you live a very sheltered life" Sasuke muttered to himself "You sit here and I'll make your order" Sasuke said as he guided the girl to a table in a booth further away from the other customers and got her to sit.
"Hai" Sakura nodded and sent her gaze around the room to amuse her self; averting her gaze to the window beside her, Sakura's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the amount of people who surrounded the small restaurant, as well as the number of vehicles that were in the drive through part of the restaurant. No more than ten minutes later Sasuke came back with a tray in hands holding two paper cups holding their drinks and two paper packages roughly the size of half of her pencil case (which was relatively big).
"I didn't know exactly what you would want, but I think this is really the only ting you'd like on the menu here" Sasuke explained handing her one of the paper packages and sitting down so he was facing Sakura. Looking at the package, Sakura's eyes widened at the size of it and began to unwrap it to reveal that it was holding a burger.
"It's so big" Sakura muttered quietly to herself.
"Big?" Sasuke questioned, looking at the slightly amazed girl.
"Yea" Sakura nodded 'I doubt I would ever finish something this big…'
"If you can't finish it, I'll finish it for you" Sasuke said.
"Hai" Sakura nodded, bringing the burger up to her mouth, mimicking Sasuke to how he was eating his burger. Opening her mouth, Sakura stretched her jaw to as far as she could, to get one bite but failed since the burger was slightly bigger then she imagined against her mouth 'It's so big…I can't even fit it in my mouth properly' Sakura sweatdropped and bit off half of the burger height. Closing her eyes, Sakura savoured the flavour of the new food before swallowing it and taking another bite. 'Well…this is a new taste, the meat is chicken and bacon, and there is tomato, lettuce, beetroot, pineapple, cheese and is that mayo?' Sakura thought.
"Well?" Sasuke questioned, having already finished half of his burger while Sakura had yet to make a second full bite yet.
"It's different" Sakura said.
"But do you like it?" Sasuke asked.
"Yea, it's not bad" Sakura answered, taking another half bite of the burger.
"Why not take a full bite?" Sasuke wondered, watching the girl eat.
"It's too big for my mouth" Sakura muttered after finishing the last bite she took. Blinking slightly confused, Sasuke inwardly chuckled at the girl, watching her eat the burger, possibly witnessing the first time she has ever had a burger in her entire life. Shrugging, Sasuke continued to eat his burger along with Sakura as silence fell over the couple. As Sakura had finished her burger half way she paused just as she was about to take another bite and thought for a second.
"You alright?" Sasuke asked, wondering why paused half way when she was about to eat and taking another bite of his almost finished burger.
"Why?" Sakura asked.
"Why what?" Sasuke inquired, confused on what she was asking.
"Why did you take me to the amusement park today? Or here for that matter?" Sakura asked.
"I told you, you needed some fun in your life" Sasuke said.
"But you had no other motive? You could have just gone home or done something else instead of spending money to go into the amusement park" Sakura muttered taking a half bite of her burger.
"If you're concerned about money as in issue then don't worry about it-"
"That's not what I meant, I don't get why you would just take me to the park if your only motive was to get 'some fun in my life'" Sakura murmured.
"It's because you're my friend, and as my friend I don't like seeing you do something to your self when you don't want to" Sasuke said finishing off his burger.
"But you don't do that with the rest" Sakura muttered, her bangs covering her eyes.
"Because they're enjoying their life, you aren't" Sasuke replied.
"What makes you think that?" Sakura asked.
"Half the things you have committed your self to were for your parents correct?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy them" Sakura retorted.
"With the amount of things you have committed your self you have no space to breathe, I thought it would be good to get you out so you could breathe a little" Sasuke said.
"I still don't get why" Sakura grumbled, eating another half bite of her burger.
"It's because you are my friend, and there is no other explanation to it" Sasuke replied 'And I care and worry about you' Sasuke added inwardly for some strange reason.
"Oh" Sakura muttered 'I still don't understand this whole concept…' Sakura thought.
'You probably don't get this whole thing yet, but you will one day' Sasuke thought glancing at the girl, who was suppressing the urge to shake and cry.
"I'm full" Sakura muttered, putting the remaining half of the burger in front of her on the table.
"Pass it here" Sasuke sighed, some how knowing that she wasn't exactly full and had lost her appetite. In a matter of roughly four bites Sasuke and finished off the other half of Sakura's burger, downing it down his throat with the aid of his drink, which reminded him that Sakura had yet to touch her soft drink, but then he figured she wouldn't drink it because it's not exactly something that she would enjoy.
"Come on, let's go" Sasuke announced, tossing their garbage in the bin and walking out into the night with Sakura on his tail; walking through the city of lights, Sasuke lead the girl around the town and towards the train station so they could go back home. Glancing up at the starry sky the blossom admired the glistening sparkles of the balls of gas that glowed in the sky, imagining how care free they were compared to her, thinking about what Sasuke had said to her during their dinner together. After twenty minutes of star gazing the train finally arrived, pulling into the station and waiting for patrons to board its carriages. One by one various passengers boarded the carriages at nine o'clock, following their lead, Sasuke and Sakura walked onto the train and found two seats to sit on as the train began to work again and departed from the station.
"They should be coming back by now, let's go to Sakura-chan's house and wait for them" Tenten suggested, Mikoto no longer there.
"Why? We can interrogate them on Monday" Neji sighed.
"Please" Tenten begged, Temari and Hinata behind her, begging to go with them.
"Fine" Shikamaru, Neji and Naruto sighed.
As time passed and the train wheels kept on rolling towards their destination, pausing occasionally to allow passengers to get off at their desired destination and a new lot on to take them where they pleased. Gazing out of the train through the window, Sasuke continued to replay the events of the day, treasuring the time he spent with Sakura a lot more than he would have ever planned to, lost in his own mind, Sasuke vaguely wondered what Sakura's life was before he met her, what it was like in Suna, what her parents are like, how she turned out like she did, and in a way, it slightly hurt in his heart, knowing that she didn't understand why he took her around today, but he couldn't really blame her after only relying on her self for a long time, he just wondered why he cared for her all of a sudden, it's not like he had cared for any of his other friends like he had to her before.
Sighing inwardly, Sasuke averted his gaze to the now sleeping Sakura who was resting her head on his shoulder, which he really didn't mind and was actually enjoying just watching the girl rest soundlessly, it seemed those stress marks that occasionally appeared on her face disappear when she sleeps and makes her many years younger, and if Sasuke didn't know any better he would say that she was thirteen and not fifteen like he is, but that's impossible right? A thirteen year old girl in his year when the majority of them are either fifteen or sixteen and occasionally one or two fourteen? Chuckling to himself, Sasuke unconsciously snaked his arm around the girl and allowed her to sleep on his chest while he watched the scenery change from city to bush land to city again. Noting that they were almost back to where they started, Sasuke took his arm back and lightly shook the girl to wake her up.
"Oi, Scholar girl, wake up" Sasuke ordered, shaking her gently.
"Hmm?" Sakura questioned.
"We're almost home" Sasuke smirked.
"Aa" Sakura nodded, rubbing her eyes of any sleep that had collected in her eyes and stretched like a cat, waking her self up properly. 'Cute' Sasuke thought, watching her rub her eyes and stretching, noting that her top rose slightly when she stretched, revealing that lovely stomach of hers. Looking around, Sakura noted that Sasuke and her were the only ones left on the train, guessing that this was most likely the final stop for the night and got up from her seat like Sasuke and walked over to the doors waiting for the train to stop and doors to slide open.
"Final stop, Konoha central, thank you for traveling with us tonight, good night" a man spoke over the intercom as the train pulled into the station and the mechanical train doors slid open, allowing the final passengers to get off the train. Following the Uchiha, Sakura walked off the train and out of the train station, savouring the quite off their surroundings as they walked through the park and passed the shopping centre which began their adventure they had today.
It seemed, that unconsciously, Sasuke had gotten a hold of Sakura's hand, holding it like it was the last thing he was ever going to hold, which Sakura unconsciously smiled to and allowed Sasuke to hold her hand as their fingers interlaced. Without realizing it, both had turned away from the path towards Sakura's house and walked towards a large cherry blossom tree on the top of a hill and jumped up into the tree, enjoying the beauty of nature at night, hands still interlaced as Sakura lay carelessly on Sasuke in between his legs as he lay against the tree trunk, Sasuke's other arm long ago had snaked around Sakura's waist.
'What's this feeling?'
'It's called love'
'That's ridiculous! I have no feelings for Sasuke aside a friendship and classmate'
'I didn't say it was Sasuke'
'But you were implying it'
'Yea…I was, but you are in love'
'What nonsense! This is ridiculous-'
'Have you taken any note of how you two are sitting? Your hand is in his, you are in between his legs and leaning on him! For Kami-sama's sake, his arm is around your waist!'
'So?'
'You are so dense! That's a very couple-y thing to do!'
'…'
"I-I should probably go now" Sakura smiled as she pulled her hand away from Sasuke's and pulled out of his hold.
"Oh, yea, your brother is probably worried" Sasuke chuckled, jumping off the tree with the girl and guiding her house.
"Well, I'll see you on Monday" Sakura smiled forcefully.
"Yea, bye" Sasuke nodded, walking away from the mansion before him and towards his own.
"Well that was a weird night" Sakura muttered walking into the house and closing the door, upon closing the door, Sakura could have sworn she heard cries and wails of exasperation that sounded similar to Tenten, Temari and Hinata…and was that Mikoto?
Me: I really am starting to think my chapters are getting shorter and shorter –wails-
Sasuke: That's because you are a pathetic writer
Sakura: I agree
Me: Shut up both of you, go get a room –doors close- …Anyway, RxR, no flaming.
