Chapter Thirty-Six:•*•*•Pink•Petals•*•*•

After Sakura had fainted, Sasori carried her bridal style all the way to this small hospital that was near the restaurant, and her unconscious body was currently in a white hospital bed.

Sasori sat himself in a chair in front of Sakura's bed and he waited patiently for her to wake up.

He was grinning the entire time and thought she looked cute even when unconscious...

After about a half hour of being unconscious, Sakura's eyes struggled to open, and the first thing she saw was Sasori smirking down at her.

Alarmed, the pinkette screamed as she felt the color of red overrule her cheeks, and she banged her head into the wooden frame of the bed by accident.

Sakura closed her eyes in pain as she let out a groan that sounded somewhat cute and the pinkette put a hand onto the back of her head.

"Whoa. Be careful now... Are you okay?" Sasori asked playfully as his smirk remained; however, he was impressively disguising the concern that he felt inside for her.

Sakura's eyes gradually fluttered open and as soon as she saw him again...

...she started to blush uncontrollably and nervousness consumed her...

'H...How did I get here...? Did that really happen? Did he really propose to me...? Was it all just a dream...? Oh my gosh... I don't know. I-I'm so nervous. I'm too scared to even mention it right now... Urgh! I'm such an idiot at times...' Sakura thought anxiously and her thoughts made her blush even harder as she frowned.

"U-Uh... Y-Yeah, I'm...f-fine... I...I had the strangest dream..." Sakura replied nervously and she faked a laugh.

'Gosh, I sound so corny... I hate when I sound corny...' Sakura thought and she was very annoyed with herself.

Sasori raised an eyebrow amorously and he smirked wickedly. "Oh really?"

•*•*•Several•Minutes•Later•*•*•

The two were now walking on a cement path that had millions of cheery blossom trees surrounding them and they were just utterly captivating.

The pink petals would flow smoothly with the wind and they reminded Sasori of Sakura's pretty pink hair.

"So... You planned the entire thing...?" Sakura asked reluctantly as she felt somewhat awkward and her face looked like this "._."...

"Correct. I even paid the waiter to flirt with me so you would be jealous," Sasori admitted pompously as he smoothly flipped his hair while smirking and he chuckled.

Instantly, Sakura whirled around to face him, and anger had penetrated her as she twitched.

"W-WHAT?! W-WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT?! Y...YOU CREEP!" Sakura fumed flustered as her voice was ferocious while somewhat timid at the same time and she was blushing crazily as she clenched the both of her fists.

The two came to a halt and the pink petals gracefully floated around them due to the wind.

Sasori smirked and adjusted his hands into his pockets. "It's because I love you, silly..."

Sakura rolled her eyes and felt herself blushing slightly. "Well... Yeah..."

"You still haven't answered my question..." Sasori proclaimed nonchalantly, his voice incredible quiet, and he stared at her with stern eyes.

For a moment, Sakura froze as her pupils gradually constricted, and the wind rushed through them as did the pink petals.

"Sakura... Will you marry me...?" Sasori asked softly, his voice sounding so stern but so compassionate, and their eyes locked.

Her heart skipped a beat as she blushed a deep scarlet red and she shyly averted her trembling eyes downwards as nervousness invaded her. "S-Sasori, we're so young... W-Well, I am while you're...er... W-Well, you get the point b-but... I-I d-don't k-"

He interrupted her by giving her a fond kiss on the lips as he placed his hand onto the side of her face and her eyes widened enormously as she blushed even more.

After about thirty seconds, he broke the kiss, and awaited for her answer.

Mouth agape, Sakura was completely stunned, and her heart was hammering strenuously.

Sasori raised an eyebrow and said staidly but slightly impatiently, "Well...?"

He hated to be kept waiting.

Blushing, she nodded sheepishly, and she avoided his gaze.

"Y-Yes..." Sakura whispered timidly as she felt somewhat embarrassed but jolts of happiness was surging through her and she felt like crying.

"What did you say? I can't hear you..." Sasori teased playfully as he smirked and his eyes were taunting her.

Sakura flinched as she felt her cheeks burning up even more and she twitched. "W-What?! A-Are you seriously going to make me say it...a-again...?"

A devilish smirk crept upon his lips. "Yes..."

"B-But, I already said it-"

"Louder. Say it louder. It's music to my ears..." Sasori told her as he smirked wickedly, his voice was insanely erotic, and his eyes were just dancing of pure amusement.

Sakura blushed madly and spoke a tad bit louder, "Y-Yes! I'll marry you..."

Sasori crossed his arms and his smirk remained. "Not good enough."

The pinkette twitched as she felt frustration infiltrate her and the redness in her cheeks refused to vanish...no matter how hard she tried to make her blushing cease.

" IDIOT! YES! I SAID YES, OKAY?! YES, YES, YES, YES! I EFFING LOVE YOU, OKAY?! DAMN IT! I LOVE YOU! AND SOMETIMES I HATE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE SUCH A CREEP SOMETIMES BUT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I-"

He cut her off by pulling her into a tender embrace and he smirked.

"Heh. Good enough."

•*•*•Several•Minutes•Later•*•*•

The newly engaged couple had returned back to their hotel room to find her teammates sitting next to each other on one of the beds and they were both sharing an vanilla flavored ice cream cone.

Their tongues slowly licked the ice cream and were almost touching as the two were slightly blushing.

Both were alarmed once they saw the couple as they blushed ferociously and Naruto then forcibly shoved the ice cream cone into Sasuke's hand.

"H-HI! W-Where have you guys b-been?!" Naruto questioned nervously as he frantically waved his arms around and he forced himself to smile.

Sasori smirked and chuckled. "It seems you two know how to share with each other."

The two blushed ferociously, exchanged glances, and then promptly looked away with a huff.

"It's NOT what it looks like! First this idiot wants me to buy him ice cream and I said no but he wouldn't stop bugging the shit out of me so I just bought the damn thing for him and one for myself and THEN... Like the freaking dimwit he is, he DROPS it...and he forced me to share mine..." Sasuke explained defensively as their was major bitterness in his voice and he was blushing but it was microscopic.

"Well that's what you GET for being an asshole!" Naruto barked at him and he glared at the raven haired young man.

"Shut up, loser!" Sasuke hissed and he returned the glare.

The couple's sweat dropped and Naruto then swiftly turned to look at them.

"Where were you guys anyways?! It's been hours!" Naruto exclaimed loudly and he was somewhat suspicious.

Sakura giggled. "Let's just say Kakashi is not the only one who came back engaged."

Silence.

Bewildered, the two stared at the couple with wide eyes, and they then both noticed a ring around Sakura's finger.

The two were in complete shock.

Sasuke's ice cream then slowly slid out of the cone and it had plummeted to the floor...

"DAMN IT!"
