Chapter 25

RECAP

"Hn, Sakura. Where have you been?" said a voice behind her.

"Uh-oh,"

END RECAP

Sakura slowly turned around to see Sasuke, sitting on her chair. There was also Gaara. He sat on the floor and Neji was leaning on the wall and Shikamaru sleeping on her bed.

"Uh, hey guys. What are doing here?" asked Sakura.

"We could've asked you the same question but instead, we want to ask what are you doing out there?" asked Neji in a scary voice. He can be pretty frightening sometimes.

"I went out to get some fresh air in the back yard," Sakura can cover up really fast.

"Then why didn't you use the front door?" asked Shikamaru, finally awake.

"Because from my room, it's closer to the back yard,"

"Then, what's with the sling bag?" asked Sasuke.

"Have you guys heard the news? Some robberies escaped from jail so I brought my weapons with me,"

"Then why's your shoes a bit wet?" asked Neji.

"Uh..."

"Don't lie to us Sakura. I saw you with Sai on a motorbike. I wanted to follow you but he drove too fast,"

'Yeah. He scared the heck out of me!' thought Sakura.

"I called them here to wait for you. The girls should be here any minute now to discuss about this. Your siblings didn't know about this," said Gaara as he stood up.

"Great, I'm busted. Wait, where's Naruto?"

"He should be here soon. He said that he has a meeting with his parents," said Shikamaru.

"Really? Do you guys also have that kind of stuff?"

"Yeah, sometimes,"

"Is it boring?"

"Quit changing the subject Sakura,"

"Whatever. So, wanna have something to drink?" asked Sakura as if nothing happened. The guys looked at her weirdly. "What? You guys are guests, right?"

"Yeah," replied Sasuke.

"Sure. Anything's fine," said Gaara.

"Come with me downstairs," Sakura went downstairs with them and Mikan and Shaoran left a note. Shaoran went to his part-time job and Mikan is going to meet her friends.

"While waiting, let's watch something," said Sakura after handing them some soft drinks and went to find some DVDs.

"Wanna watch 'Mirrors'? It's going to be creepy," (It's REALLY creepy!)

"Sure" "Hn" "Whatever" "Troublesome" was heard.

"Ok then, I'll get some snacks,"

"Sure" "Hn" "Whatever" "Troublesome" was heard... AGAIN!

Sakura grabbed a bag of nachos and put the popcorn in the microwave and took it out once all of them are popped. She went into the living room when the movie is starting. She squeezed herself between Gaara and Sasuke who were sitting on a sofa.

Sasuke and Gaara has a little thought in their mind which was if Sakura was scared of the movie, she would hug them.

But instead, she watched the movie with a normal attitude. She sometimes laughed when the ghost in the mirror killed the people. She was NOT scared at all! (Impossible! She's an alien!) Sasuke and Gaara were disappointed about it. Shikamaru was sleeping (again!) and Neji and Sasuke were a bit scared. They were disgusted of the blood from the dead people. Gaara, being the one who is not almost emo or a sleepy head, was scared. Totally scared!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" he shouted when he saw a part where the ghost ripped a person's jaw. Gaara hid behind the sofa. Sakura peeked at him.

"Gaara, you alright? Do you want to watch something else?" asked Sakura.

"N-No. I-It's fine," said Gaara while squeezing his eyes and covered his ears. Sakura continued watching the movie. Then, the door bell rang.

"That must be the girls or Naruto," said Sakura. She turned off the movie, switch on the lights and opened the door. She saw the girls and Naruto.

"Sakura-chan! I'm glad you're okay! I can't believe you went on a date with Sai!" asked TenTen as she hugged her.

"Did h-he hurt y-you?" asked Hinata and she also hugged her.

"Where did you go?!" asked Ino and also hugged her.

"Uh, hello to you too," said Sakura.

"You're in big trouble young lady!" said TenTen.

"Um, want some tea?" asked Sakura.

"I can't believe you go out with him!" said Ino.

"Ooh! I have some nachos!" said Sakura.

"Did you get hurt?" asked Hinata.

"Maybe I have some left-over salmon," said Sakura.

"QUIT TRYING TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT!" all the girls yelled.

"Okay, okay! No need to shout!" said Sakura. All of them went into the living room and the lights were closed and Sakura was asked to sit on a chair and a light was shone in her face.

"Alright. We'll ask some questions and we need some straightforward answers," said Neji.

"Alright, first, did he do anything to you?" asked Ino.

"No,"

"Why did you go out with him?" asked TenTen.

"Because, if I don't go out with him, he'll threaten me. I don't want him to go back to his gangster self,"

"Okay. That sounds logic. No wonder you were wiling to go out with him,"

"Duh!"

"Next question. Where did you go?" asked Shikamaru.

"Somewhere,"

"Can you be more specific?"

"The best place to have a picnic,"

"And where is that?" asked Sasuke.

"Sorry. I can't tell you,"

"Why not?"

"Because I made a promise with Sai not to tell where we were,"

"Tell us,"

"No,"

"Tell us," he sounded scarier.

"Sorry, I don't break promises,"

"Stupid Nice Miss Goody Two Shoes..." muttered Sasuke.

"I can hear you, you know,"

"Hn,"

"Emo bastard," muttered Sakura. Sasuke glared at her. Since Naruto didn't like the dark aura around them, he spoke up.

"Okay. Next, do you have ramen in this house?" asked Naruto. All of them looked at him. "What? I haven't eaten anything since the meeting,"

"It's in one of the cupboards. Hinata will show you where," Hinata and Naruto went into the kitchen.

"Next, what did you do with him?" asked Gaara.

"Having picnic, listening to music and playing Uno. I'm tired. Can I go to bed now?"

"M-Maybe we sh-should let her sleep first. It's late and she must be tired with Sai," said Hinata at the door with Naruto on her side with a bowl of ramen.

"(Sigh) Fine. See you at school, Saki," said Sasuke.

"What did you just call me?" asked Sakura.

"Saki. From now on, I'll call you Saki,"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because you didn't tell me where you guys headed to,"

"I don't like that nickname!"

"So what? You didn't tell us where you headed to,"

"Listen. I don't like to break promises and what if I call you 'Sashu-kun'? The nickname your fan girl gave to you?"

The rest laughed their heads off after hearing 'Sashu-kun'. It's a similar reaction with Sakura when she heard that nickname.

"Don't call me that,"

"I'll call you that if you call me 'Saki',"

"No. I'll still call you 'Saki',"

"Fine. Be that way, Sashu-kun'! I think that nickname is cute,"

Again, a shower of laughter was heard in the living room.

"Yeah, Sashu-kun'! That nickname is really cute," said Ino.

"Yeah! For once in a while, he doesn't sound scary! I mean, if I heard someone says 'Sasuke', it always gives me the creeps!" said Naruto, almost choking on his ramen.

"Gee, some best friend you are!" said Sasuke.

"Aw, come on! That nickname sounds less scary," said TenTen.

"But it sounds even funnier! Especially if we're addressing YOU with that nickname!" said Sakura.

"I don't like it. It feels like I'm mushy and stuff,"

"Same goes for me. 'Saki' makes me feel uncomfortable,"

"(Sigh) Fine. I won't call you Saki,"

"Thank you Sashu- I mean Sasuke," Sasuke once again glared at her.

"Whatever," he muttered.

"It's getting late. You all should probably be in your beds right now," said Sakura.

"Okay then. Bye S-Sakura! See you i-in school,' said Hinata. All of them left.

'I'm not sleepy actually. Maybe I'll continue watching 'Mirrors,' thought Sakura.

Zan_TOP: So, that's about it. Please review!!!
