"So you first run to her, and you don't even know that it's me?" Hanabi laughed. "Now that is funny. Especially for you Sakura that would have been hilarious, wish I was actually there. And Naruto, oh boy didn't know you had it in you!"

"You know, it wasn't all that funny," Naruto huffed, looking at Hinata and Sakura. "I was looking all over for you guys during the concert and the last thing I know you both are being hauled off with a big guy- who knew what he was going to do!"

"I-It kind of was," Hinata said.

"Oh it definitely was worthwhile seeing Naruto jump on the security guy," Sakura said laughing. Since she made a fool of herself chasing a random girl, it was kind of nice to see Naruto doing something out of character. She still wanted to die in a hole right then and there at the concert.

"How was I supposed to know he was the security guy?"Naruto flushed, looking away from them with his lip pouting. Hinata giggled a little, and Sakura smiled, remembering how when she turned around, Naruto jumped on the security guy like a mad man.

"Oh I don't know. Maybe because he had a big neon sign on his shirt saying 'Security Guard'?" Hinabi asked laughing some more along with Sakura. The night before skiing went really haywire. Naruto jumped on the security guard, whom he mistook for a mugger, and then it went downhill from there, and they all were kicked out, except Sasuke. Sasuke wasn't kicked out. Of course. He wouldn't jump on a random guy. He wouldn't chase a random girl. He was probably the most boring of them all.

"What were you doing anyways?" Sakura asked, turning to Hinata's sister who indirectly started all of this.

"I was out jogging," Hanabi replied blinking at them, looking innocent. "I wasn't at a concert. I listen to my dad." Hanabi smirked then.

"Huh," was all Sakura said. They all were silent. Just then Sasuke entered the room, slowly, with the guy that was singing, Jugo, who had spiky crazy hair and was talking to Sasuke. They both stopped talking when they saw them all on the couch, looking…tired and worn out.

"Why the long faces?" the guy named Jugo who was singing tonight asked. "I am the one who should be bummed. My chances to become a rock star now? Ha."

"Your chances were always a 'ha'," Sakura mumbled, and her eyes met with Sasuke's, who raised an eyebrow slightly. So much for not making eye contact, Sakura. Jugo opened his arms and Hanabi hugged him. Sakura couldn't believe Hanabi was dating a guy who liked to dye his hair every week a weird color- sometimes resulting in looking like a raccoon. That was kind of bad for hair health. Unless he took really good care of his hair. Jugo sometimes had funky colored hair, and people looked at her hair weirdly when her hair was actually natural.

"Sorry they ruined your concert," Hanabi said to Jugo, turning around a little and sticking her tongue at them.

"There's always tomorrow," Jugo said, smiling.

"No," Sakura said shaking her head. This guy was funny. She was sure she was kicked out the place for good. And if she saw that security guy again… "You guys can go, but leave me out of it."

"Don't worry, you won't have to chase anyone down, I will definitely be there tomorrow night," Hanabi said, giggling a little.

Sakura rolled her eyes and her tiredness kicked in. She had a long day and there was a long day ahead of her tomorrow. "I'm going to sleep," she announced, not that anyone really cared. Karin came in just then, and Naruto and Hinata were already talking while Hanabi and Jugo were also talking close to each other.

"Good night Haruno," Sasuke called, looking up from his phone to her, and their eyes locked. She hated the way her heart sped up by the heat of his gaze. Even though it was winter she felt hot. She quickly broke away the eye contact and ran upstairs.

The next day on the slopes, the only thing Sakura could think was that she lost her skis. And she was not going to tell Sasuke that. Unfortunately, they were partnered up, and Hinata and Naruto was a given, and Karin overslept, so that left her with Sasuke, just her rotten stinkin' luck. How could someone lose their skis? Well the next moment they were in her hands and then the next she couldn't find them. She took a breath, wondering where her skis could have flied off to.

Sasuke was out doing-

"Is there a problem?" Sasuke asked her just then, coming beside her. Curse Ten-ten and her predictions about how Sasuke looked good in his coat. He did look really good. Sakura looked on the opposite direction where he was looking, which was her.

"Uh," Sakura's hand was twirling around her hair, "not at all." Sasuke didn't say anything. She sighed. "Okay, I lost my skis." She walked several steps away from him, sighing, and looking around the snowy area, hoping to find it. Hopefully he wouldn't ask how she lost them because she couldn't answer that herself.

"Don't worry- they might find it," Sasuke said smirking, "come summer." Sakura paused and reached down to the snow. Sasuke didn't expect the snowball that Sakura flung at him. It exploded into powdery bits on his chest.

"Hey-" he protested, but Sakura threw another one at him. Right in the face. Whoops. She didn't know where this craziness came, or what made her throw a snowball at Sasuke. Or why she just probably begun a snowball fight between them. Or if Sasuke even liked getting snow thrown on his face. Well, actually, no one liked getting a snowball hit on their face. But that was besides the fact. Maybe it was because she just wanted to do something crazy. And Sasuke just happened to be the nearest person. If Naruto was here, she would have thrown a snowball at him. Sasuke was just there, at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

"I'm sorry- really, I didn't mean to aim at your..." Sakura trailed off as Sasuke calmly stuck his poles in the snow, and reached down to remove his skis. She blinked. "What are you doing?"

"Preparing," he replied.

"For… what?"

"For this," Sasuke looked up and a devilish grin played on his lips as he ran toward Sakura. She screamed and he picked her up- it was easy for him- and tossed her in the snow.

"Not my coat!" Sakura cried as he threw a handful of snow at her. She grabbed a handful of snow and smeared it on his face. She tried to hurl him back, and flipped him onto his back and throwing her legs over his, pinning down his arms and she got a few clumps of snow into the neck of his jacket.

"Time to surrender," Sakura laughed.

"If you say so," Sasuke said, a faint smirk on his lips.

Oh.

Sakura stopped and froze, realizing what position they were in. Suddenly, a ski patrol guy called out to them breaking their stare, "Everyone alright there?"

Their moment, or whatever they were just having, was gone. Just like that.

"We're fine," Sasuke called. Sakura quickly got up, blushing bright red, and getting the snow off from her. Why was she so excited…around Sasuke? What the heck was she doing? How come Sasuke made her feel giddy? What just happened? "Look- here's your skis," Sasuke said, holding them out to her.

"Oh. Right. There they are," Sakura said, taking them, still feeling the rush of excitement she had with Sasuke. She glanced at him, to make sure he wouldn't do anything funny, like throw a snowball at her face, but he didn't. Their little snowball fest was gone.

After Sakura, Hinata, Naruto and Sasuke were finished from the slopes, they went down to a lodge that had a coffee shop inside, and the only thing Sakura was craving was a hot chocolate with mini marshmallows. She stood in line with Sasuke who, much to her dislike, tagged alone, and they didn't talk. Which was fine with her. She didn't want to talk about what happened at the slope. Or what she was thinking- which was Sasuke's impossibly dark eyes. Or how his smile made her heart do weird things.

"Next!" the person called out to them.

"Haruno, I think it's our turn," Sasuke said to her, snapping her back to reality. She glanced at him quickly and ordered. Sasuke took out his credit card. She eyed him. No way was he going to pay.

"I can pay," Sakura said to him, waving him off. She hated when anyone paid for her, and she was especially not liking the idea of Sasuke Uchiha paying for her. Who did he think he was? She was perfectly capable of paying herself. She didn't need his pity money. Just because he was rich- he wasn't doing her a favor.

Sasuke didn't even look at her. "There really isn't any reason to be difficult about this. You're just making things complicated."

"I'm not making anything difficult. I am just buying coffee for myself," Sakura said.

"I don't think this is what that is all about," he said, still not looking at her.

"Oh is that so?" she asked, crossing her arms.

"Yes and you don't know the first thing about me," Sasuke told her, paying for her anyways, despite her protest, and with that he sauntered off and left the lodge leaving her alone in the line. He was right; she didn't know anything about him.

And that suited her just fine.
