A/N: Hey everyone...how are you all doing? ^_^ It can be really confusing when you're starting two stories at once...hehe, and that one of them is more successful than the other. *sigh* I wonder why...oh well!! Now, people instead to keep you all on your toes...a good feeling isn't it...I have made something up. Now, summer is still here...I'll try to update as soon as possible, but if my fanfic isn't finished by when school starts, my updating will be slow...because I will be a freshman. *whoo hoo* And yes, there will be lots of adjusting to the schedules, teachers, new faces, new friends...and worst of all: tests, exams, and loads of endless hours of homework. *frown* but, *smile* I will still update...if I have the time!! ^_^

"Ok, that's a wrap everyone...Miss Haruno, we'll meet back here for your rehearsal for tomorrow night's awards night, all right?" the producers informed the star, who nodded in acknowledge. When everyone left the stage and the area, Sakura headed out of the door to wait for her limousine to pick her up.
A few minutes passed by, and Sakura glanced at her watch on her left wrist and it displayed 3:00 PM on it and she sighed. The sun shone on her, while Sakura had her pink shades on and she had her pink mane held back in a ponytail. Vehicles bypassed her and the celebrity was still waiting for her ride.
Later, tired of waiting, Sakura decided to hit her cell phone to see if her driver was all right. Receiving no answer on the phone, Sakura then decided to head back to the building, but the sound of a motorcycle stopping near her at the sidewalk, made her pause. Sakura turned around and nearly fainted right there. It was him.
The biker took off his helmet and held it to his side while the other hand was on the grip. His black hair flowed with the cool breeze and his eyes were as black as the night, while he was all dressed in black. (Go on and drool, ladies!! ^_^) His pale skin was as white as now, and his lips were shaped perfectly for the most perfect kiss. The young man and Sakura locked eyes for a moment ignoring the people staring at them as they passed by.
"You need a ride?" the young man held another helmet that was behind him and held it out to her.
"What are you doing here?" Sakura curiously asked with her eyes on the red helmet that was right in front of her.
((Take it Sakura...TAKE IT!! DAMMIT TAKE IT!!! WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?? HE'S HOT!! DON'T DENY THAT!!))
"Well, I was cruising down the street and then I came across a beautiful young woman like you waiting for a ride, you need one?" Sakura was surprised that the guy in front of her was patient for her answer; they could be staring at each other for hours and Sakura didn't have to give him an answer, and yet...he will still wait.
((TAKE IT...MY PRECIOUS...TAKE IT FOR GOODNESS' SAKE!! JUST ADMIT IT SAKURA, HE LOOKS BETTER IN BIKER WEAR THAN YOUR PATHETIC FIANCE DOES...JUST TAKE IT!!!))
Sakura tried to resist the temptation, but her emerald eyes were still on the young man...and he was still holding out the helmet to her. "I do need a ride," she thought and then she received the helmet and before she knew it, her arms were wrapped around his waist as the momentum of the motorbike drove them away.
"Hold on," the young biker told her as Sakura sat closer to him as they passed everything that was in their way. At an impulse, Sakura rested her head on the rider's back and her eyes looked at the things they passed by. Her hair was let down and it trailed behind her as it danced in the wind.
Sakura closed her eyes and a great feeling resided inside of her...everything was going so fast, and for the first time in her life, she felt great energy in herself. Excitement and the sense of adventure was inside of Sakura...never had she ever felt that in her life.
She felt free.
Free
Free as the wind that blows gently against her hair.
Free as how the wild horses run unreservedly through the lush green pastures.
Just free
Sakura then looked at the biker and then he unexpectedly asked her, "Enjoying the ride?" his voice was loud because of the loud noise coming from the motorcycle.
She then yelled back, "It's great!! Just turn over here at the left!!" she directed him to her penthouse apartment. As they turned to the left, Sakura gripped tightly to the young man and held onto him. Much to her surprise, the motorcycle then came to a pause, and the singer realized that they had arrived at her residence.
"We're here," he spoke in his normal voice as the loud noise subsided. Before setting foot on the cement sidewalk, Sakura looked at her watch and it said 3:10 PM. Disappointed by the slow time, Sakura looked at her house, and then at the young man who was facing her.
"You live here, don't you?" his onyx eyes glanced at the beautiful peach apartment.
"Yes, it's just that...it's too early," Sakura tried to sound reasonable and surprisingly, the young biker then turned on the bike, "Wait!! What are you doing?"
"If it's too early, then for the time being...let's explore," the biker winked at her and Sakura slightly flushed pink in her cheeks. Without resisting, Sakura then wrapped her arms around his waist and the bike drove off.
The motorcycle then cruised down the street, and people stopped to see who was accompanying the biker. Sakura then let out a small gasp as the bike then traveled to a distant part of where she lived. The pink-haired young woman had her mouth opened in astonishment.
Her emerald green eyes gazed at the beautiful pasture beside them, as the bike drove through on the other side where there wasn't grass. "Where is this place??" Sakura yelled out the question for him.
"It's Yokohara Park!!" he told her as Sakura looked at the pasture, that had a long fence bordering from the street and the park.
"A park?? It looks like a field!!" Sakura was delighted and elated when she caught sight of horses running beside them, as if racing Sakura and the biker to the other side. There were a variety of different breeds that were racing at the other side of the fence. Brown-spotted, black stallions, mustangs, and many more...Sakura couldn't believe it.
"I've lived in Tokyo for so long, and yet I didn't bother going out here in the countryside," Sakura thought to herself...and she wondered if Akihiro would bother bringing her here. The superstar would love to be married right there in the pasture with a beautiful view of the mountains in the far distance, and horses running wild near.
By then, time passed by quickly and soon it was nightfall. The motorcycle then stopped at Sakura's driveway and the young woman took off her helmet and handed it to the driver. The young man took off his helmet and Sakura felt herself melt at the sight of him.
"Thank you for the ride, I really did appreciate it," Sakura thanked him as she smiled. Before she could arrive at the entrance, the young man then stopped her.
"Wait!" Sakura stopped in her tracks and then turned around.
"You never told me your name." the guy smiled.
"Haruno Sakura," the pink-haired young woman blushed.
"Sakura...I like it," the young man put on his helmet and turned on the motorbike; before he drove on, Sakura stopped him also.
"Wait! You never told me your name, too," Sakura stopped him.
The young biker flipped up the plastic visor (I don't know how to call it, but when you have a biker helmet, there is a plastic clear view where you can see right through...and well the guy flipped it opened, ^_^) and then looked at Sakura for a moment.
"Uchiha Sasuke," he smiled at her and then drove off down the street. At he driveway, Sakura just stood there smiling with her cheeks blushing pink.
"Sasuke...I like it," she whispered as she headed for the door. Behind her, the moon glistened in the moonlight...and a shooting star appeared through the sky.
