Chapter Thirty-Seven:

•*•*•Psychic•*•*•

The four were currently sitting down at a circular table as they were dressed in their swimwear and they were outside in the water park area.

They were all drinking strawberry smoothies...

"So... You guys are really getting married...?" Naruto asked quietly as he sulked and the blond was slightly disappointed since he still had his tiny crush on the pinkette.

"Yep," Sasori retorted casually with a pompous smirk and he took a sip of his smoothie through his straw.

Fake tears trailed down Naruto's face as he gradually slouched onto the table while his face turned blue and a dark but depressing aura surrounded him.

Sasuke glared at the knuckle-headed ninja and he twitched.

"What are you so upset about...? Tch. Loser..." Sasuke muttered bitterly as slight jealously was lurking in his voice and he huffed.

He abruptly stood and walked away from them.

Naruto's mouth went agape as he stood and then put his hand out frantically.

"S-Sasuke! W-Where are you going?!" Naruto shouted nervously as he twitched and the hyperactive ninja ran after him.

The couple's sweat dropped and Sasori took another sip of his smoothie.

From the corner of her eye, Sakura saw a tiny violet colored tent near them, and there was an huge sign that stood in front of it.

Jade was the color of the sign as it had an golden outline and there was gigantic writing on it.

Sakura silently read it to herself, "Physic can tell you all of your desires for free & will be here for only a day..."

Hearing her slightly, Sasori's full attention was now automatically on the pinkette, and he raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "Eh...? What did you say...?"

"Some physic is here and is telling fortunes for free today..." Sakura informed him staidly and she was looking intently at the tent.

"You don't actually believe in them, do you...?" Sasori inquired quietly.

"Idiot, of course not!" Sakura fumed annoyed as she blushed slightly and she then said quietly, "But... It is for free...so it wouldn't hurt...right?"

Aloofly, he shrugged, and took another sip out of his smoothie. "Do what you want. I'm getting another smoothie..."

The pink haired medic flinched in complete bewilderment as her eyes grew wide and she then twitched. "B-But t-that's your third one t-today!"

Sasori smirked wickedly. "I know."

Sakura blushed wildly at his action and she blinked innocently as her fiancé returned back in line to retrieve another smoothie.

Sighing, she reluctantly looked at the tent, and gulped.

'Here goes nothing...' Sakura thought nervously with a frown and she timidly entered into the tent.

Little did she know that an attractive looking male from afar was watching her the entire time...and he was highly captivated with the young lady that had pink hair.

As Sakura entered into the tent, she felt this eerie sensation, and the pinkette walked through darkness until she came across a few candles that illuminated the tent.

The candles were placed on this table that had an amethyst colored cloth on top of it and an elder looking lady remained seated behind the table.

"Welcome..." the old lady said ominously which caused the pink haired girl to shiver in fear and she cautiously advanced towards the table.

"Hello..." Sakura spoke nervously and her face turned blue.

"You're here to seek your fortune, yes? Well, girl... I already know your future..." the fortune teller stated casually as her voice was very dark and shudder-some.

The pinkette gulped. "Y-You d-do?"

"Girl, don't ask such stupid questions. You just got engaged, yes...?" the old lady inferred confidently and she stared at her with stern eyes.

Sakura froze and felt her heart stop for a second.

She couldn't believe that the fortune teller actually knew her recent engagement and panic consumed her.

"Um... Y-Yes..." Sakura answered bashfully and she shifted her eyes uncomfortably.

The elder lady sighed. "Well, that lad isn't the one for you. Trust me. The one for you is actually right near us, I could show you if you like."

Sakura looked at the lady in utter disbelief and she suppressed a gasp as she felt her heart sunk.

"B-But...t-that c-can't b-be! He really LOVES me and he has proved it many times! He HAS to be the one!" Sakura insisted frantically as she clenched her fists and she frowned.

"I'm sorry but people change... Girl, just follow me..." the fortune teller ordered coldly and began to walk out of the tent.

Sakura's eyes filled with sadness as they trembled vigorously and she followed the fortune teller out of the tent.

'T-There is NO way this creepy old lady is right about Sasori NOT being the one for me! I...KNOW he is! Then again... She did know about my engagement, which is weird but... I can't believe her words. I just...can't...' Sakura thought attentively as she furrowed her brow and she followed the old lady as she was looking downwards at the floor the entire time.

When they finally exited out of the tent, the two saw a gorgeous looking young man, and the pinkette's eyes enlarged immensely.

He possessed dark-chocolate colored hair and had luscious dark-green eyes. Since he was shirtless, his muscular chest was exposed, and he was rather tall. He wore lime-green trunks and...that's about it.

"There, that young man over there... He's the one..." the elderly woman whispered into her ear and she then slowly returned back into her tent.

Sakura stared at the young man in disbelief and they then locked eyes.

The pinkette flinched as her eyes then grew wide and she felt herself slightly blushing.

His mysterious eyes were just so captivating and the pink haired girl felt almost stunned as she stared at him with her mouth agape.

She could have even swore she saw green sparkles surrounding him...

Anyways...

The wind rushed through them and he suddenly started to walk towards her.

Panic surged through every atom in her body as fear paralyzed her and

the pinkette braced herself.

Without saying a word, the guy abruptly clasped his hands together with Sakura's, and his mesmerizing eyes stared down into hers.

Sakura stared up at him in utter shock as her emerald eyes were trembling strenuously and she couldn't help but blush.

She didn't know why she hadn't pulverized this guy yet for touching her but...

...something was holding her back...

"Sorry for the scare but...I just saw you for the first time and I instantly fell for you..." he confessed softly, his voice incredibly deep but quiet and just so...attractive.

Before Sakura could even make a retort, she felt another hand forcibly pry their clasped hands apart, and the two swiftly turned around to see a pissed-off Sasori.

"Get the fuck away from her!" Sasori hissed venomously as he abruptly grabbed onto Sakura's arm and he pulled her towards him.

Sakura let out a squeak of pain as he jerked her forward and she cringed.

Sasori's trembling eyes were filled with pure hatred as he stared at the mysterious young man and he scowled while he held the pinkette protectively.

"If you ever touch her again...I'll kill you..." Sasori proclaimed menacingly as his eyes intensely pierced right through the guy and he growled.

The intriguing young man only stared back at Sasori with an stern expression and he didn't say a word.

Sasori huffed as he then grabbed onto Sakura's hand and he literally dragged her away from the area.

As they were walking, Sakura suppressed a yelp, and she exclaimed frightened, "S-Sasori... Y-You're hurting me!"

Sasori paused as did she and he whirled around to face her.

His stern eyes bored into hers and she felt majorly frightened.

"I'm sorry..." Sasori apologized quietly and he then advised angrily, "And I'm sorry about how I reacted back there but...I just found out who that guy was. He's the fortune teller's son and she goes around every year telling every girl that her son is 'the one' for them...when he's not... Its also rumor that he would rape the girls...so thats why I was so protective just now. That bastard..."

Sakura gasped as she was slightly taken aback and her eyes widened. "T-That's exactly what she told me...except I didn't believe her because I know you love me and I know you would never leave me..."

Sasori sighed as he crossed his arms and he said bitterly, "Exactly. I would NEVER leave you. I couldn't even if I tried...and she's phony. I suggest you don't believe anything she says..."

Sakura looked down with her depressive eyes and thought, ''Maybe so but...how did she know about my engagement...?'
