A/N: Nothing to say here…just make sure you read the author's note at the end. It's VERY important for those who are reading my other fics.
.:. Chapter 13 .:.
"Damn it, move people! Can't you see he's bleeding?!" Sakura shouted angrily as she carried a boy about seven years old in her arms with his head dripping crimson liquid. Apparently, the people were too awed at the scene and stood in just one place.
Sakura shoved her way out and rushed into the emergency room. Grabbing a clipboard, she hastily jotted all the information down, put on her mask and put on her medical gloves. Three other nurses stood by, ready and prepared to help when needed.
Outside, the father of the child waited nervously.
After wiping off excess blood, Sakura healed the boy's wound with chakra quickly. A nurse stitched the wound and cleaned up his hair that was messily crusted with blood.
Sakura sighed as she exited the ER room to greet the boy's father.
"Hello, Mr.Inuzuka." She said, taking in deep breaths and swiping sweat off of her brow. The said man ran up to her.
"Is he okay?! Will he be okay?!" He asked desperately.
"Um…yeah! He's fine! The nurses are just cleaning him up. But I'm afraid you'll have to wait out here until he's awake." She said, jotting more things down onto her clipboard. The man looked down in disappointment.
"But for you, I guess I'll let you in…" Sakura said, smiling. The man looked up in surprise and instantly dashed towards the door.
He came back out in a few minutes, calmer and happier.
"I'm glad you're fine now…Mr.Inuzuka." Sakura said. The man nodded.
"You can call me Kiba. Say, do you want to have dinner with me and my kid? You sure do deserve it. And…never mind. Anyways, would you like to come?" Kiba asked.
"Uh…s-
"Sakura!" A voice called out. The said girl turned and grinned.
"Sasuke-kun!" She greeted him with a hug. He hesitantly returned it and glanced over at Kiba.
"Sakura, who's this?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh! This is Kiba-san. He's the father of a patient who I just took care of." The pink-haired teen replied.
"Then, Kiba, why don't you go to your wife?" Sasuke asked, crossing his arms. Sakura sighed.
"Sasuke-kun, don't be so rude." She said. Kiba nodded.
"And for your information, Sasuke, I have no wife. She died when Zu (his son) was barely born." He answered. Sasuke sneered.
"Then you have no business with her." He said.
"And who said that you did?" Kiba asked. Sakura looked at the two with concern.
"Guys…" She said softly, but felt humiliated when her voice only came out with a squeak. The two men glared at each other intently. Then, Sasuke turned around.
"C'mon Sakura, I only came here to pick you up…" He said. Sakura took one last look at Kiba and ran off to Sasuke's side.
"Sasu-kun…that was so mean!" She stammered. Sasuke looked at her, confused.
"He was flirting with you!" He said. Sakura blushed.
'He cares…'
"Why'd you come to pick me up anyways?" She asked. Sasuke smirked.
"Well, the dobe requested for a double date at the last second, so I came over to get you." He replied. Sakura grinned.
"I'm guessing he's with Hinata?" She asked. Still smirking, the raven-haired teen nodded.
They arrived at a small café and saw the blond and violet haired couple.
"Hi Naruto and Hinata!" Sakura greeted cheerfully.
"Hi." They answered.
They seated themselves, ordered either a cookie or muffin and a cup of coffee. Naruto suddenly grinned.
"Guess what you guys?" He asked with Hinata slightly blushing as she took a shy bite into her blueberry muffin.
"Nani?" Sasuke and Sakura asked in unison.
"Me and Hinata-chan are visiting a little girl in the orphanage like you two!" Naruto yelled, reaching into his pocket. He took out a photo and showed them a picture of a small girl with neat, shining blonde hair and bluish-grey eyes. Even though the description sounds like a NaruHina mix, the girl's blonde hair was put with a mix of light brown hair, so she was a dirty blonde. And her eyes actually had pupils in them, unlike Hinata's. (No offense...)
Sakura dropped the chocolate cookie she was eating onto her plate as Sasuke held his coffee cup mid-way to his mouth.
"Cool huh?" Naruto asked. Sakura nodded.
"Yeah…she's really pretty…" She murmured.
'But Iku-chan's cuter, CHA!'
"W-we're going to visit her a-after this d-d-date…" Hinata said in her timid voice.
"Oh, then we could all go together! We could go see Iku-chan, ne Sasu-kun?!" Sakura asked, but was surprised to see him shake his head.
"Actually, I'm planning to take you somewhere…" He said as Naruto eyed him suspiciously.
"Oh…is that so…? Like perhaps…inside a bush? Or in a dark alley…?" He asked. Sakura blushed furiously.
"N-Naruto!" She yelled. Sasuke shook his head in disbelief.
"I told you to stop reading fan fictions. See what it does to your brain?" He said.
They bid each other farewell and parted to their separate ways.
"Sasuke-kun, where are we going? Don't tell me it's going to be another surprise…" Sakura said, prepared to pout.
"Fine…I'll tell you. It's in a park." He hinted. Sakura sighed.
"Sasu!!! That doesn't tell me anything!!! There are MILLIONS of parks around here!!!" She said in frustration. Sasuke smirked.
"Then, take a good guess." He said. Sakura looked over and read the sign.
'Welcome to Cherry Blossom Park!'
"I should've known…" She muttered and Sasuke guided her to a bench directly under one of the prettiest trees in the park.
"You always know where to bring me, huh?" She asked, smiling as she took a seat next to him, gaining warmth.
"Heh, I thought you would find out sooner about which park I was bringing you to." Sasuke said. Sakura punched him playfully, then, it grew silent.
The two looked in opposite directions and avoided eye contact, probably too shy.
"Sasu-kun?" Sakura suddenly spoke. He looked over at her to signal he was listening.
"Are you gay?" She asked. Sasuke twitched.
"I thought I already proved that to you!" He said, running a hand through his hair. Sakura giggled.
"No you didn't, you just played around. And what if you are gay?" She asked. Sasuke sighed.
"Only one way to find out…" He said. Sakura was about to say something but was quickly cut off as Sasuke crashed his lips onto hers. Her eyes widened and her cheeks turned bright red.
Sasuke realized all the weight he was putting on her when they were thrown off the bench. Quickly, he switched their places so she would land on him instead. Sakura pulled back, still blushing.
"W-why'd you do that…?" She asked. He shrugged.
"To prove I'm not gay." He said in a casual voice. Sakura looked up at his face and suddenly burst out laughing.
"What?" Sasuke asked. Sakura continued laughing.
"Sasu-kun…! You…have…my…sparkling…lip gloss…on…!!!" She said through giggles. Sasuke let the message pass through his mind and felt embarrassed.
Slowly, he reached over with his sleeve and wiped off the sparkling lip gloss.
"Is it gone?" He asked, still embarrassed. She nodded as she clutched her stomach.
"Ha! I can't believe you took my lip gloss off and put it on yourself!!!" Sakura yelled. Sasuke sighed, then smirked.
"I guess I kissed you pretty damn hard then." He said, earning a blush from Sakura.
"W-well…I…uh…better get going! You know, Hinata gets SO worried sometimes!!! Uh…bye!" She said, making up a quick excuse and grabbing her workbag. She waved and ran off to the bus stop.
"Hn…" Sasuke murmured as he lay down in the grass.
"Ah…" Sakura sighed as she dropped her bag on the floor. For a high school girl, she had a pretty harsh life.
"Sakura? Is that you?" Ten Ten asked as she entered the main room of their shared apartment. Sakura smiled.
"Yup, the one and only! Anyways, I know Hinata's still with Naruto, but where's Ino?" She asked. Ten Ten sighed heavily.
"She went with Shikamaru to the movies…" She muttered.
"And how about Neji?" Sakura asked, grinning as Ten Ten looked away to conceal her red face.
"I-I'm going with him somewhere tonight…! But, how are you and Sasuke?" The brunette asked, counter attacking.
"Well…uh…h-he kissed me to prove he's not gay…" She said, putting her index fingers together like Hinata.
"Wow…"
A/N: AH! I know I didn't show little Iku-chan in this chapter! Please don't kill me! I just wanted to introduce Kiba as threat. Okay, I'll show Iku-chan in the next chapter. If I don't, you are allowed to murder me.
Grr...I made Sasuke REALLY OOC! BUT, in this fic I guess it's an exception...since he's better that way in this story...right?
NOTE (READ IT!): I will try and update my other fic, Answering Machine. But, since I'm going to Las Vegas because of the three day weekend, I might not be able to update anything else such as AM or G&P, on Saturday and Sunday. So, yeah. Thank you for understanding.
