Thanks for all the reviews I got last chapter though I do appreciate them

Chapter 14: Real Date

Sai POV:

"Listen guys we need to talk," I said as we all sat around the breakfast table the next morning. Sasuke's parents had disappeared as fast as they came, as usual. No one expected them to stay long.

"What's up?" Kiba asked.

"It's about last one back," I said.

"It feels like it's been forever since we played," Kiba said, obviously itching to play.

"It's going to have to be even longer," I said, keeping it serious.

"What?" He asked.

"The game has to end," I said.

All eyes turned toward me and Naruto asked, "Why?"

"Naruto, if you can't figure that one out, you really are stupid," I said as I shook my head.

He looked shocked as he said, "Wait, you mean?"

"Just shut up, Sasuke asked me to end the game, we're going to," I said as I looked at Kiba.

He frowned, knowing he'd lost. "He doesn't dictate what we do," Kiba said.

"It is his house," I reminded them as I nodded toward the Uchiha symbol on the wall. Everyone was silent, deciding not to argue with me this time.

Sasuke POV:

Suigetsu, Karin and Juugo were all hanging out with me in my room, though I really just wanted to be left alone. I didn't understand why my mother couldn't just understand me. I knew this meant that she would tell my father and that it was going to turn into this whole thing. A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts, "Come in." I expected it to be my mother, ready to lecture me some more. However, Naruto walked in.

"Hey Sasuke," he said, seeming somewhat nervous.

"What is it Naruto?" I asked.

He looked toward my friends, as if to ask for some privacy, however, Karin just said, "We're not going to miss this."

"Ignore them, what's up?" I asked.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out on a date with me tonight," he asked.

"Sure," I said, wishing I would have sent my friends out of the room.

"Cool, see you later then," said as he walked out of the room.

I felt a small smile on my face and I knew Karin and Suigetsu would say something. "He was so nervous," Suigetsu said.

"We should have given them privacy," Juugo said.

"Will you guys shut up?" I asked.

"Is someone embarrassed?" Suigetsu smirked.

I glared at him as I threw the pillow that was next to me, he just laughed and I tried my best to ignore him.

Naruto POV:

It was seven by the time Sasuke and I actually went on our date. I can't believe that I actually asked him even. However, I did and I hoped that we'd have fun.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked and he just nodded as we left the house. It was weird to have everyone's eyes on us.

"So where are we going?" he asked when we walked outside.

"Well, I love rides and the carnivals in town, so I figured it'd be fun to go," I grinned.

"You know those rides aren't safe," he said.

"I've been to plenty of carnivals and never been hurt," I said.

"If you say so," he said. "Do you want to walk or do you want me to drive us?"

I grabbed his and smiled, "Let's walk, I like walking."

He didn't say anything; however, the light blush on his cheeks told me he wasn't used to showing affection in public. The walk was nice and I enjoyed Sasuke's company, whether we were talking or not. When we did talk, we had a great conversation, though he didn't always add much to the conversation, we had great a great conversation. By the time we got to the carnival, it hardly seemed like a long walk. We bought the tickets into the carnival and I knew it was going to be a great date.

"What do you want to go on first," I asked.

"It doesn't matter," he said.

I then suggested started to suggest the rides to go on. We had fun and he actually smiled, which was a nice change because he has a great smile – much better than the smirk that he usually passes off as a smile. "This is fun," I said as we were walking through the carnival.

He nodded in agreement; he looked over at the Ferris wheel and said, "Let's go on it."

"Alright," I said as I took his hand and we walked over to the giant wheel.

We sat in the Ferris wheel box as it went up, giving us the perfect view of the city. What surprised me was when he leaned over and started to kiss me. It was just a simple kiss however, it got my heart racing and I asked, "What was that for?"

"You said yourself it's not a date unless we kiss," he said, that smirk once again appearing on his face.

I just smiled, "You're right I did." I knew then that nothing could ruin the night. I was feeling on top of the world and nothing would bring me down.

When we walked home, we held hands. We weren't dating, but I knew I was close to making him mine. However, I would take it slow; I didn't want to scare him away by being upfront with my feelings.

When we arrived at the front door, I turned to him and said, "I had a lot of fun tonight."

"Me too," he said with a small smile.

I gave him a quick kiss before he walked inside and I knew as I leaned against the porch railing that everything was going to be okay. Things were finally going my way.
