"A dance?" muttered Sakura looking confused. Who was this guy? One second he's seducing her, the next he's making a bargain with her...how strange...

"You're kidding right?" she hissed in disbelief.

The young man shook his head. "I'm serious...Sakura..." he said slowly, regaining his deadly charm. "All I'm asking is a little dance...nothing special..."

"...besides...what could you lose?"

Sakura bit her lip. He was right...like usual. It wouldn't do her any harm...besides her curiosity was killing her! She'd promised earlier that she would do anything in her power to discover who this man was. Her eyes narrowed with determination. And she sure as hell wasn't going to give up now.!

All she had to do was dance the night away with him...the sexiest man she'd ever met. Sakura eyes widened with shock. Where did that come from? The dance was going to be strictly business...nothing more...

"All right..." she murmured softly. Sakura tossed her head proudly and stared Sasuke straight in the eye. "I accept your offer," she snapped, half surprised when she saw a flicker of amusement cross his eyes.

"But....how do I know you'd tell me?"

The dark stranger gave her a wolfish smile. "You don't," he replied calmly. "That's why you've got to trust me..."

Sakura shot him a dubious look. Trust a stranger? Especially one that just tried to seduce her? How stupid does he think she is?! She felt her face heat with anger.

He sighed. "You're not stupid Sakura..." he replied, almost as if he knew what she was thinking. "It's your choice...I won't force you to dance with me if you don't want to..."

Those eyes...those dark onyx eyes were so compelling...so familiar. For some reason Sakura couldn't force herself to look away. There was something in there...something that reminded her of someone she once knew...someone that had been very close to her...

And that voice...that deep masculine voice. It revived memories that she'd hidden from everyone...even herself. Sakura knew that she couldn't and wouldn't rest until she discovered who he was...

Sakura took a deep breath and slipped her arm into his. "Alright...let's dance..."

The man smiled, this time it wasn't a smirk, not cruel in any way. It was true smile...it was real. "Let's go then..." he whispered softly, leading her towards the dance floor. However before he left, he tossed a glance at the waterfall, as if there was something secret about it...something that only he knew...

When he'd lived with his clan...before his...brother. Sasuke spat out the word like a curse. Before his brother had destroyed them...his father had once said something to him...something dreadfully importantly.

"If you want a seduce someone...do it in a dance..."

It was a pretty inappropriate thing to tell a young boy, but for some unknown reason Sasuke's always remembered it. And now...he wanted Sakura...wanted to be with her...to enjoy dancing with her...just being with her...

He took a deep breath and inhaled her scent. It smelled like cherry blossoms... He smirked with delight...she hadn't changed one bit...none at all...

Slowly the two own them walked onto the dance floor. Instantly all eyes flew on them...after all, they were the handsomest couple around...

Sakura couldn't help but smile. For some unknown reason...she felt complete tonight...like as if she'd discovered a part of herself that she'd never known she had...

...like as if she belonged with the dark stranger...like as if they were made for each other...
