Her scintillating, shimmering eyes captivated him, the way she spoke, her way with words fascinated him and her undeniable, incomparable innocence frustrated him. In all reality, he was a bit taken aback by his reaction, he found her entertaining but a bigger part of him believed she was unambiguously intriguing now, every move she made, every word she said was with precision and logic. Forty minutes had passed yet, he felt like he'd just arrived. Naruto was doing fairly well, the boy had the IQ of a puffer fish, tutoring him was a task nothing less than the impossible however, it seemed like he was 'actually' trying this time. The one thing that really did amaze the Uchiha was her level of patience now that was one thing he didn't possess.

Sasuke was astonished at the way she'd repeat a point almost thirty times for the blond to finally grasp it, he'd mess up numerous questions yet, she didn't seem bothered at all, and each time he'd make a mistake, she'd repeat the entire thing again in more depth. Now, if he were in her boots, he would've cracked ages ago, Naruto seemed to have noticed that too and where he would usually avoid asking too many questions regarding a problem especially in class when the teachers would get annoyed in no time, he felt completely at ease, he'd ask several question and then work on the problem until he got it right.

They already had supper when they arrived, Sasuke didn't find it appropriate to eat so he politely refused, Naruto on the other hand helped himself and ate whatever came his way. In all honesty, he was actually enjoying watching the blond concentrate on a simple query and the pinkette guiding him through. She seemed to have noticed his amused expression and would occasionally glance his way, he'd catch her staring and offer her a handsome smirk to which she'd force an awkward smile and divert her attention back to the blond.

Sasuke was an honest man, he wasn't ashamed to admit the fact that he was incredibly amused, intrigued and highly attracted. He was a man after all, he had needs, if she were any other girl, she'd sense his want but that was the thing, she wasn't just some girl. He resisted the urge to smirk at the thought, any idiot could tell she was innocent, an ordinary virgin probably. Her apparent avoidance for any sort of physical contact was proof enough, he had noticed how she immediately withdrew her hand if it accidentally touched Narutos', she was cautious and extremely careful with propinquity.

He was attracted.

Sasuke felt beguiled, greatly entranced and undoubtedly charmed. He was already convinced by the fact that she wasn't like the rest of the female population; in fact, she was better fitting in the category of the so-called respectable women. Her choice in clothes wasn't revealing at all, she didn't wear any makeup, when she spoke, it was natural, and her voice wasn't candy coated. What enthralled the Uchiha most was her patient, calm and helpful character, then on the other side, she was a little spitfire, always ready for an argument and would go berserk over the slightest of insults.

To say that he was surprised was an understatement; he was shocked, amazed and astonished at his opinion about her, about the blob of pink. He was feeling his own need surfacing at the sight of her, how could such innocence provoke his manly needs to such an extent? It truly was a mystery for him. He wasn't having an erection or something like that, she wasn't really enough to make that happen but he was definitely captivated and if, by any chance he ever did manage to get into her pants, he'd take the chance immediately that was something he was sure of. That didn't mean he 'liked' her, not at all, it was merely an attraction, he still had his doubts about her.

The sound of a door clicking shut rang in his ears and managed to break his train of thoughts, obsidian orbs watched the pinkette look past him, a huge smile tugging on her lips, excitement apparent on her soft features,

"Hey Dad, welcome home!"

"New guy?" Neji inquired, "Are you sure about this?"

"Yeah…Suigetsu called just now, it's definite."

The news had managed to bewilder both males, they had decided to congregate and ponder over the mater as soon as they could. Sasuke and Naruto were busy with other matters; Kiba had decided to investigate further until he had absolutely no doubts. For him, it was all a bit too shocking, Neji felt alike but his expressions remained passive as he desperately tried to put the pieces together in his mind. In all reality, they expected something akin to this; the gangsters from Suna High weren't done with them and were back on track. After the previous failed attempt to make them even, they were trying desperately to harm them in some manner.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" asked the brunette; a puzzled expression graced his features,

"It could be a possibility." Replied Neji, his eyes remained glued to a random spot out the window, he and the Uchiha were known to be geniuses, but in a situation like this, even he felt incredibly baffled and perplexed. One thing was sure; they couldn't take any chances, not when the enemy would be dwelling around in their territory.

"Possibility? What the fuck man? I'm damn sure it's a freakin' trap!" Kiba yelled out of frustration. When they had tried to inflict physical damage on Sasuke, he felt helpless in the matter, in all reality, he wanted to pound every single one of those muggers but his friends had stopped them saying that his actions were too predictable, he knew that if they didn't retaliate, their rivals would simply get another chance of harming them and would take it gladly. Anger flared through his entire being as he counted the possibilities in his head.

"No idiot transfers to KSC like that, it doesn't make sense!" he yelled once more.

Silver orbs watched the brunette; Neji didn't argue with that, truthfully speaking, Kiba did have a point. It wasn't everyday he got to hear about some gangster from their rival college transfer here to KSC, it was a bit suspicious but then again, he had his doubts. Maybe they were overreacting, maybe this was all just a hoax or maybe the new guy wasn't such a gangster. There could be countless explanations for someone to transfer, it could all be a coincidence and they were probably wasting their time pondering over nothing.

However, if Kiba truly was right…then they had to keep their guard up at all times. Their previous actions proved that they weren't playing around, they were serious about revenge. Running a car over someone wasn't just a pathetic excuse of payback; they didn't care about circumstances after all, they just wanted to get even.

Shigeo was not happy.

Glancing at the two boys in his fortress, with his 'Candypants' made him feel balked, discontented and incredibly stymied. The sight made him regret his decision, the fatherly part in him twitched uncontrollably and wanted to grab the filthy beasts in front and throw them out, how long had he been standing there? He honestly didn't know and he didn't care either, it wasn't until he felt a slight tug on his hand that he snapped back to reality.

An awkward silence swallowed their surroundings as he stood their silently glancing at the unfamiliar faces ahead, they seemed to have felt his discomfort too, judging by how the blond was continuously chewing the backside of his pencil while drifting his gaze between him and Sakura while the black haired one simply stared. His eyes widened when he stared at the familiar aristocratic features, the same black hair, same face, same clothes, it couldn't have been a coincidence. For a moment, they just stared at one another, their expression reflected blankness but their eyes held a surprised look.

Sakura was freaking out, they had been standing like that for about ten minutes now and it was seriously making the whole situation more vexatious and cumbersome. The look in her father's eyes was unrecognizable as she watched him stare at Sasuke. She cringed when that stare turned into a full on glare, she wasn't an idiot, the pinkette was familiar with her father's antics and that glare wasn't pleasing at all. She gingerly shifted her gaze back the Uchiha, only to find him slightly gaping at the older man. It wasn't apparent but if one concentrated, they could feel the tension emitting from the two males. Naruto seemed to have been lost in his own thoughts, he felt insecure and nervous when the man approached. The way he stared at him and the Uchiha, made him feel like he was going to grab their collars and throw them out which apparently, was true.

The older male recognized that face clearly, they had crossed paths not too long ago and both knew that the Uchiha's first impression on him was shameful. A while ago, he had declared the boy as a disappointment, a shame and an unacceptable company, what he didn't know was that the same boy was headed towards his house where his only daughter was present. Suddenly, the protective side of him surfaced. His look wasn't pleasing, he was a smoker, probably fond of drinking too and what not and to top it all, he was a boy. Shigeo wasn't pleased; he was getting furious by the second. His mind wandered back to his daughter; didn't she say she was tutoring only one of them? Then why the hell were their two young, fully hormonal boys present in his territory?

Sakura felt like dropping, the awkward silence was literally killing her and her father's look wasn't pleasing at all, she knew he was currently busy with an inner turmoil but the fact that he had the two men ahead hooked on was bothering her. It was then she decided to speak up,

"Uh…Dad, you remember I told you about…the, uhh tutoring sessions, right?" she stuttered. Sakura wanted to sound a little more confident but apparently, it didn't work, "Anyways…this is Naruto Uzumaki, my friend…" she stated.

Naruto looked up at the man and inwardly flinched when he didn't spare him a glance, he was too busy glaring at his friend, it felt as if he wasn't even listening.

"And…this is, umm, Sasuke Uchiha…" the pinkette continued pointing at the other male. Sasuke spared her glance before looking back at the man beside her. Normally, he wouldn't feel this uncomfortable but the moment his eyes landed on the older male, he tensed at the spot. It was the same old man from the store, to say that he was shocked was an understatement. He was paralyzed, opprobrious and appalled. The way he glared at him proved that he too, remembered him and wasn't very pleased with his presence. If he had known his relationship with the pinkette, he might have acted a bit different but this was just unbelievable. He loathed his presence that much was obvious, Sasuke almost smirked at that.

"Uhh, guys…this is my father…" Sakura stated uncomfortably, her gaze constantly shifting between the older man and the Uchiha.

"It's a pleasure meeting you…Sir…" the blond boy mumbled, managing to pull off a friendly smile. He stood up and bowed gently, if he ever dreamed of dating the pinkette, he needed to leave a good impression on the man. Naruto wasn't surprised when he didn't get a response; cerulean eyes reflected utter confusion as he watched the man glaring daggers at his friend. He silently wondered and thought for a logical explanation. The look he offered the Uchiha was enough to prove his great dislike towards him, it was as if he was going to swallow the poor guy.

Several moments passed but the heavy atmosphere didn't crumble. Shigeo was beyond furious, his daughter was friends with some disgusting…addict? His complete appearance spelled 'danger', he may have gotten old but his perception towards men like him was clear. The boy didn't have good intentions, that was painfully apparent and he was hanging around with his daughter, which was completely and utterly unacceptable.

"Who's the one you're tutoring?" Shigeo asked, his tone was enough to prove he was furious.

"Uhh, Naruto…" replied the pinkette. Sakura was a bit taken aback from his inquiry; she noticed how his gaze finally left the Uchiha and landed on Naruto. The boy seemed super nervous; he bit his lip constantly and lowered his gaze when her father diverted his attention to him. Unlike the Uchiha who was still comfortably seated in the sofa, the blond stood in respect and bowed gently. Even so, Shigeo was not happy to see men wandering around in his palace. He looked back at his only daughter,

"May I have a word with you in the kitchen?"

"I…I can explain!"

"Explain."

She formulated the right words to say, her father wasn't pleased at all, in fact, he actually seemed corybantic and enraged. She felt incredibly humiliated when he pulled her in the kitchen; Sasuke seemed amused and watched shamelessly while Naruto seemed puzzled at the entire situation. Somehow, her father had developed a bitter taste for Sasuke, that much was apparent but even so, she hadn't expected him to act the way he did in the lounge. She couldn't say she was surprised, Sakura was well aware of her father's disliking for boys especially if the matter was related to her.

"Dad, he dropped off Naruto here, he was leaving but I stopped him," she explained, earning herself a slight glare as she said those words, "Come on Dad, I couldn't just let him drive off in a storm like that!" Sakura continued. She wanted him to realize the reasons for her actions, but at the moment, he was just being irrational and that was understandable considering the type of father he was.

"I knew this wasn't a good idea in the first place…" he mumbled, gently rubbing his temples and ignoring his daughter's banter.

"Please Dad! Try to understand will you? Sasuke may seem kind of…well…you know, but he isn't! It's not like he'll be coming over every day, it was just for today…I swear!"

Shigeo was not pleased, he knew he was being irrational but what did she expect? He was a father and cared deeply for his daughter's security. That boy was not good news, the apparent arrogance plastered on his face infuriated him, Shigeo could see through him, he didn't have good intentions either and if there was anything he could do, he'd keep that boy away from his daughter. The Uchiha was not to be trusted, he didn't know anything about him but when his eyes landed on that silver sports car in his garage, he knew the boy belonged from a wealthy family.

He sighed audibly at Sakura's pleasing expression,

"Candypants…I'll make one thing very clear, I don't like that boy and I don't want him around," he stated in a serious tone, "That means no hanging out, no making friends with the likes of him and this is the first and the last time I see him here, understood?" he finished.

The pinkette sighed in relief at the statement; in all honesty, she thought he was going to kick them out. A small smile tugged on her lips as she watched the older man,

"Yes Sir!" she replied, saluting him in the process, "Now please don't make a scene okay? And calm down, I can handle myself." The pinkette assured earning her a reluctant nod.

He watched silently as she jogged out into the lounge without sparing him another glance. Shigeo inhaled sharply and counted backwards in his head trying to calm himself, his mind drifted back to the store where he first met the boy, he was incredibly rude, ill-mannered and consisted of a nasty, arrogant behavior. To know that the liked of him were dwelling around his daughter was driving him insane. He didn't know how he contained himself out there, he was ready to drag him out and give him a piece of his mind but for his daughter's sake, he didn't.

Sasuke Uchiha was his name…

He truly disliked him, the mere look in his eyes promised insecurities and trouble for his 'Candypants', he didn't like that, he didn't like that at all. Men with his charming looks were known to be great deceivers, he was once too but all that changed.

It was at that very moment he decided to do anything and everything he could to keep his 'Candypants' away from the Uchiha.

"Sorry about that uhh…my Dad is well…a bit protective." She mumbled, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she seated herself beside Naruto,

"No worries Sak, if I were him, I'd do the same, believe it!" Naruto replied cheerfully, he could sense her embarrassment; there was really nothing to feel humiliated about. All this was a bit expected. Sakura belonged from a respectable family and for her father to act like that was predictable, he just hoped he left a good impression on him.

"Yeah…he was just, being a Dad." she said, smiling a little. Apple green orbs wandered to towards the other male, Sasuke seemed to have ignored her words, and he was busy staring at the kitchen entrance.

The man didn't like him, that much was painfully obvious but he didn't know he loathed his company that much. They didn't have a good start and so his actions were anticipated. His mind wandered back to the little meeting at the store, apparently, he didn't like the fact that someone as young as himself was indulged into smoking. He acted all fatherly and nagged him about it, he didn't like that, and after all, it was his business, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the older man.

He smirked casually, it wasn't wrong for him to act all protective, who would want an addict like him around his daughter? Obsidian orbs traveled towards the blob of pink, she was definitely his daughter, and their eyes were exactly the same, a dim shade of striking green. They both had another thing in common, their personalities. She had nagged several times too and it wasn't a surprise,

"Say, Sakura…I really need to use the bathroom…" muttered the blond, his cheeks held a slight blush as he said that. Sakura nearly giggled at the antics, he was adorable at times.

"Sure, it's the first door to the right upstairs." She replied with a smile, earning herself a slight nod before the blond rushed upstairs.

Evergreen orbs silently drifted towards the Uchiha. The pinkette twitched when she found his gaze glued on her, a handsome smirk graced his beautiful features as he leaned down and rested his elbows on his knees. Naruto and Sakura had decided to sit on the floor, the coffee table geld all their belongings while they worked on different subjects. She glanced back at the kitchen door, slightly afraid of her father walking in. In all reality, she didn't know why her father disliked Sasuke so much, they had just met and he was already making judgments. Sasuke wasn't exactly…perfect but at least he wasn't a sick pervert or so she thought.

A while passed but the blond didn't show up, the silence was killing her and knowing that the Uchiha was still staring at her with that amused smirk wasn't making things much easier. Sakura silently prayed for some sort of distraction and was a bit taken aback when she heard the man beside her speak,

"I see nagging runs in the family." He said, all the while smirking at her changing expressions. She was a bit confused at his statement, the confusion soon turned into annoyance and that into frustration,

"What does that supposed to mean?" she hissed venomously at him, folding her arms and glaring at him,

"Hn" he replied,

There it was! Not even a moment ago she acted like a shy little girl, feeling incredibly uncomfortable under his penetrating gaze and suddenly, on a slight remark, he experienced her wild, agitated side. It was so entertaining, at one point she'd be a fragile little bud and in less than a moment, she'd become a spitfire. He was so amused at her antics, in all reality, it was true, nagged really did run in the family. She nagged him before and her father did too while they were at the store.

Sakura was a pissed at his statement, what did he mean by the anyway? She quickly regained her composure after a while, not really thinking much about his words.

Once again, a dreadful silence took place between them, this time; she decided to speak up,

"So…I see you still have bit of a misconception about me?" she said, slightly tilting her head towards him, he raised a brow at her questioningly, "I just want to make it clear that I'm not how you think I am, I don't have ill intentions, I know it's bothering you so I just…wanted to clarify…"

"What makes you say that?"

"The fact that you're literally glaring holes in my back when I'm working with Naruto…"

He nearly chuckled at that, she was pretty observant. It was true, the entire time, he had his gaze fixed on her but it wasn't because he doubted her, that was partially the reason, the real reason was because he found her unimaginably attractive but he'd rather die than admit that out loud.

"I'm not like other girls…just so you know."

"What do you mean?"

"I know what you think of me. It's true though, most girls at the campus would seek friendship with Elite for their personal gains but I'm different…" she mumbled.

He stared at her indifferently. In a way, she was different, she was more…innocent, gullible was a better word for her, she wouldn't know a trap until she fell in it. That's how he looked at her, she was just too…susceptible, naïve and credulous, a thing he actually found himself liking.

"Different…" he mumbled under his breath. It sounded more of a statement, she claimed to be different, he agreed but she wasn't completely contrastive. With a sly smirk plastered across his features, he leaned down towards her.

Sakura noticed his action and inwardly twitched when she felt him nearing. Apple green eyes glared at him, her brows knitted, her eyes widened noticeably and a dark shade of red spread across her cheeks when she felt him right next to her. He was merely inches away; she gulped when his hot breath tickled her face. Sasuke wasn't an idiot, her facial expressions were enough to prove her discomfort but he wasn't planning on stopping any time soon. She claimed to be different; he wanted to see for himself.

"Let's see how different you are…" he whispered, his hot breath fanning her burning skin as he lowered his head further. Upon noticing his actions, the pinkette felt her heart skip several beats, her breathing fastened at their level of proximity, she leaned backwards, opposite from him only to find him smirking at her antics. What was he planning on doing? Was he…going to kiss her? Sakura felt her heart thumbing at the speed of light, she felt as if it'd slip out her throat, he seemed to have noticed her reaction yet, he continued his moves,

Just when she thought he would literally kiss her, she closed her eyes and prepared to scream until she heard an amused chuckle. Her eyes fluttered open and came in contact with his flawless face and that annoying smirk. She was astound and his actions, what was he planning to do anyway?

She was blushed several shades of red; it was such an amusing sight. They were merely centimeters away, he could've kissed her, he could've tasted her but he didn't, something told him he was trespassing.

"Thought so…"

With that said he pulled himself back and offered her another one of his irresistible smirks. In all honesty, he didn't know why he stopped, he'd always take the chance of kissing some random girl but he didn't kiss her, he was confused at his own actions, he was puzzled but when the moment was right, it didn't feel right and the next thing he knew, he was already back in his position leaving her looking like a tomato.

She was different but not entirely, her reaction to his movements proved that.

Sakura was speechless, what did he do that? Was he seriously contemplating to kiss her? That wasn't possible…but then…why? With an audible gulp, she straightened herself and regained her composure, he was simply playing with her head and like the idiot she was, she fell for it. The pinkette mentally punched herself for that.

Naruto had still not returned, and for the third time, silence consumed them both. It was haunting in reality, she didn't know how to act in front of Sasuke, he was just…impossible! His previous actions made his presence all the more uncomfortable and she was damn sure he knew that. A part of her was afraid her father might have caught them in the awkward situation, he was already showing apparent dislike for Sasuke and if that had happened, she was sure he would have done the unthinkable.

She cleared her throat and looked back at the Uchiha,

"Look…you don't like me, I don't like you, it…doesn't matter but let's just…try to be…acquaintances, okay? Not for us but…for Naruto's sake, what do you say?" she managed to mumble, truthfully speaking she didn't expect an answer to that but when he spoke up, she was taken aback by his reply,

"You scratched my car and you expect me to say yes to that?"

To say that she was shocked for truly an understatement, Sakura was absolutely abashed, antagonized and angered at the statement. Here she was, raising the white flag and all he had to say was THAT? Didn't he get over it already?

"I…I can't believe you're still at it!" she retorted. She wanted to scream at him but apparently her father was in the next room and he might do something crazy, "Would you let it go already?"

"No"

He was unbelievable! She felt like exploding out of frustration and he was right there, seated comfortably in a leather sofa, smirking like the jerk he was. Sure she scratched his car, big deal, he could always afford ten others like that, and in all honesty, she thought he deserved it anyway. His ego was already bigger than this world, she wanted to teach him a lesson so she did, apparently he wasn't ready to let go of it and move on.

Sakura let out an audible sigh at his reply,

"Look, I'm sorry about that, I was angry so I did the first thing that popped in my mind OKAY? Now will you please let it go already? It's driving me nuts!" she nearly yelled out of pure frustration,

He seemed to be thinking by the way he knitted his brows slightly and tilted his head. Maybe he'd finally agree to forget the whole incident and move on, maybe then she wouldn't have to sleep with one eye open. High hopes bubbled in the pinkette as she analyzed his expressions,

"No"

The urge to grab a flower pot and crush his head was too strong to ignore, she twitched constantly at his reply. He was just impossible! The Uchiha was too stubborn for his own good and she was going insane, what drove her even more wild was the fact that he seemed to be enjoying her misery. It was pure torture and he was literally laughing his head off mentally.

"Oh for crying out loud…!" Sakura groaned, clutching her head and mentally cursing at his stubborn nature.

He was awed, simply flabbergasted, intimidated and appalled, she was simply…amazing. The fact that she nearly wanted to throw him off a cliff was just too entertaining. She truly was something…he just couldn't find the words.

"Please?"

He smirked at her reaction, the Uchiha was a born genius, he knew why she was begging for him to reconsider, it was painfully obvious. They both knew that one way or the other, Sasuke would get back at her for scratching his car and she was already facing enough problems at the campus regarding the issue, a full out embarrassment would mean social suicide. He wasn't going to befriend her, that was impossible but he couldn't deny the attraction, the need and the amusement. He liked her in a way; she was…an idiot in her own way which made her all the more interesting. If she were just some ordinary girl, he'd spare her an indifferent look and walk out but of course,

She wasn't an ordinary girl, she was…different.

He didn't give her an answer, simply looked at her. Sakura seemed to get the hint, she wasn't getting an answer any time soon so with an audible sigh, she turned back to her original position silently hoping for Naruto to return, at least then, things might not feel that awkward.

Konoha Senior College…

There were people out there, who'd do the unthinkable just to get an admission in a prestigious institution such as KSC. From the best educational system to the most remarkable faculty, they had it all. Every year, dozens of valedictorians marched out of its gates, holding their graduation degree and getting admissions in the best Universities without a problem. It truly was a dream, but for him…it wasn't really a matter of celebration.

Sky blue eyes watched the name engraved on the building carefully, this would be his new start, but was he happy about it?

He honestly couldn't say he was, then again, he wasn't disappointed either. In all reality, he felt indifferent to the matter.

Starting from Monday, he'd be studying among the best of the bests, he'd be a part of this institution and he'd meet the one man he was dying to come across,

Sasuke Uchiha…

"You intrigue me."

He was dying to see her expression, just a glimpse, just one look and he'd be satisfied. When he watched her previously calm expression turn into a bit uncomfortable one, he nearly laughed,

"Stop it…I know what you're trying to do…" she mumbled,

They were almost ready to leave, it was almost eight thirty pm and apparently Sakura's father didn't want them around anymore. Naruto was busy gathering his things and packing up, the pinkette stood at a random spot with the Uchiha right behind.

"Do you now?"

She spared him a dirty glare and turned away, he chuckled silently at that,

He wasn't planning on saying anything more, his interest towards her was clear and a part of him knew that she was aware. After the blonde was done packing, he carried his things towards the entrance. Sakura helped him and opened the ebony doors that lead outside. Sasuke followed behind the pair quietly,

"Thanks Sakura, you were really helpful!" said the blond as he faced towards her, offering the pinkette a charming grin,

"No problem, just practice as much as you can." She replied with a gentle smile, her gaze flicking towards the Uchiha for a second before drifting back to the blond,

"Yeah I will, believe it! See you tomorrow then?"

She nodded before bidding farewell and watched them silently move towards the shiny Corvette. Sakura winced inwardly when she saw the all too familiar scratch on it; it held some…rough memories. She watched them settle themselves gingerly, the storm had finally faded away, it was still chilly outside, and winters were on their way. She watched as the Uchiha silently drove off, the look he spared her along with that handsome smirk didn't go unnoticed by her.

'You intrigue me'

Did he really mean it? What was so intriguing about her anyway? She didn't know, though, she silently wished she could read through the Uchiha but he was too unpredictable. Sakura wanted to know what he was pointing at with that statement, as she watched the silver car fade away and out of her sight, a small smile graced her lips.

The day was really eventful; she enjoyed it, aside from the fact that her father's behavior towards Sasuke was confusing and a bit, scary…

She kept asking herself the reasons behind the development of such a bitter taste her father had for Sasuke, it was truly puzzling. She made a mental note to talk to her father about it later on,

At the moment, she simply wanted to stand outside and feel the light pitter patter of the rain, what Sasuke meant with that statement, she smiled at the possibilities,

She'd never know…

TADAAAAA! How was it? =D Don't forget to review guys! I lubbb you!

With Love…
