Chapter 7: SasuSaku Part II-

At the Hot Springs- Sasuke's Jealousy

Kakashi arrived finally but was earlier than usual. It was 9:30 when e arrived. He was reading his favourite book but when he didn't see any of his students he got curious. He put his book away as he looked around. He spotted Sakura's sleeping figure first and headed towards her. Looking up the tree she was leaning on, he saw Sasuke resting on a branch. They had both fallen asleep while they were waiting for their sensei.

'Hmm…when I am early for once I find them asleep…' An idea pooped into his head. 'Hehehe… time to start face one of my plan to put Sasuke and Sakura together.'

Knowing that he couldn't pick up Sasuke without waking him, he picked up Sakura instead and silently jumped up the tree and onto the branch Sasuke was on. He carefully placed Sakura's sleeping figure on Sasuke's lap sitting her sideways and placing her head resting on a side on his chest. Very carefully he placed Sasuke's arms around Sakura's body. He prodded Sakura to wake her up and quickly concealed his presence in another branch higher up an observed from afar.

Sakura felt something poking her. She didn't want to wake up. She felt safe and warm just where she was. The she remembered that she had fallen asleep and should be sitting on the heard earth floor, why did it feel soft what she was sitting on? Sakura slowly opened her eyes. It was blurry at first but got more focused as she blinked a few times. She noticed her surroundings and realized that she was up in a tree. She noticed that her head was leaning on something soft. Slowly she tilted her head a bit and looked up. She was shocked to find out that she was looking up at Sasuke's face. He was sleeping though. Then the realization hit her. She was sitting on 'his' lap and was resting her head on 'his' chest. A blush crept up onto her face. She was too shocked to move.

'OMG…am I sitting on his lap? Is that his arms wrapped around me?…' Moving her head slightly she looked down and saw her bag at the base of the tree. Then turning her head she once again came face to face with his. Their faces were only inches apart and Sakura could feel his warm breath and his chest rising up and down against hers. 'He looks so peaceful when he's asleep…like there is no worry in the world or past to haunt him…' Her cheeks reddened more as another thought came into mind. ' He must've carried me up here when he saw that I had fallen asleep… aww…that is so sweet!' Sakura giggled quietly and snuggled up a bit to Sasuke's warm body. Not wanting to move from the position she was in. (A/N: Then again, who would? XP) Sakura smiled and closed her eyes to enjoy the moment.

Sasuke felt something move on his lap. He frowned in confusion and broke from his dreamless sleep. Slowly opening his eyes, he felt something warm leaning against his chest. Looking down he saw the sleeping beauty he had seen earlier that day sleeping peacefully in his arms. She had a happy smile on his face. Sasuke did not want to move from his spot nor did he want to wake her up. She seemed to fit perfectly in his arms and he liked it just the way it was. He felt Sakura move and looked down at her. She was not asleep. Sasuke figured that she must've climbed up the tree and sat herself in his arms while he was in his slumber. Knowing now that Sakura wasn't asleep he whispered her name.

"Sakura."

Sakura heard her name and recognized it immediately. It sounded oddly familiar. 'Sakura.' It sounded just like the way Sasuke had whispered to her in her dream last night. Her cheeks were tinted a pink colour as she looked up. His onyx orbs met her emerald ones. The two instantly felt their cheeks beginning to burn and both looked away at the same time.

Sasuke noticed his arms around her and pulled them away to let Sakura get up. Sakura felt the cool air against her skin when Sasuke had pulled away his arms from her. Sakura stood up immediately and walked along the branch. Sasuke stood up afterwards and the two remained silent for a while. No one moved. Both were thinking that the other put themselves in that position before and about what had just happened.

Kakashi, who watched the whole thing from afar, chuckled silently at the success of face one of his plan. 'Hehe, that's good, no one suspected a thing…I'd better leave before they find me.' And with that thought he jumped down from the branch he was he was on silently and pinned a note with his kunai at the base of the tree trunk. The dashed off and hid himself once again.
Sasuke and Sakura carefully climbed down the tree. Their cheeks were still a tint of pink though. Once their feet were on the ground, Sasuke noticed a note pinned to the trunk of the tree they were in earlier. Sasuke read it and then passed it to Sakura. This is what it said:

Sasuke, Sakura,

Came early today and saw you two asleep. Didn't want to disturb you two from your 'moment' together so I'll meet up with you guys at the Hot Springs.

From your sensei- Kakashi

"Oh. Well, should we head over then Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said after she read the note.

"Aa." Sasuke replied as he sling his bag over his shoulder. Sakura did the same and they walked side by side towards the Hot Springs. They were silent as they walked.

After a while Sakura remembered the cookies and quickly scurried through her bag for the present. Sasuke noticed this but continued to walk and ignored it. Suddenly a pink box with a red ribbon was shoved in front of him. Sasuke stopped walking and looked at the box. Then his gaze followed the arms stretched out holding the box to Sakura's face. She was smiling her sweet smile.

"Happy Valentines Day Sasuke-kun! This is for you." Sakura said cheerfully.

This stunned Sasuke. Though it wasn't unusual for Sakura to act this way, he had never thought that she would give his a Valentine's Day gift.

Sasuke took out his hands from his pockets and took the present gratefully.

"A-Arigatou Sakura. Y-You didn't have to get me anything."

"Doitashi mashte. Iyo Sasuke-kun. I wanted to." Sakura replied as her face went red. (Doitashi mashte means you're welcome and Iyo means its ok for those who didn't know what it meant.XP)

"Arigatou…" Sasuke looked at the gift in his hands and decided to open it. He untied the ribbon and as he lifted the lid a smell of freshly baked cookies wafted up his nose. He looked down at the heart shaped choc-chip cookies. They had a layer of pink icing on top in a smaller heart shape. And in the middles written in white icing were the words: ' I Love U.' Upon seeing this a smile tugged on the side of his lips. Sakura saw this and inner Sakura was jumping for joy.

'Yay! Sasuke-kun likes 'em! Hell Yeah!'

Sasuke took one out and took a bite out of it. It was still warm and the chocolate chips melted in his mouth as he ate it. (A/N: Like the Sara-lee bake-at-home ones…mmm….XP)

"Mmmm…they are very nice Sakura." Sasuke said to show his appreciation.

"Arigatou Sasuke-kun. It my mum's recipe."

Sasuke ate the rest of the cookie and offered Sakura one.

"Ah…nah, you can save them for later." Sakura replied even though she so desperately wanted one. She knew how good her mother's baking was.

Sasuke placed the cookies in his bag, right beside his gift for Sakura. He didn't want to give it to her just yet. He wanted to surprise her at the end of the day. It was either that or he just didn't know how to give it to her. They continued their way towards the Hot Springs.

Both were unaware that Kakashi had been watching them from afar. 'Hehe… it's working well. Now, time to put forward face two of my plan… Hehehe, I got this idea from a chapter in Come Come Paradise'

With that thought he dashed off ahead to the Hot Springs before Sasuke and Sakura. He arrived and spoke with the person in charge. They agreed and closed off one of the springs so now the males and females had to share one. 'Good, good, Now I'll just get changed and meet them in the springs. This'll be interesting.' With that he headed towards the male change rooms.

Sasuke and Sakura arrived shortly afterwards and both were surprised to find that the male hot springs were closed for cleaning. Now they had to share the girls' one. Upon hearing this, Sasuke's cheeks went red when the image of Sakura clad in only a towel came into his mind. Sakura blushed as the image of Sasuke clad in only a towel came into her mind. The two silently headed towards the change rooms and went their separate ways. Both came out at the same time and blushed and looked away from each other. They had changed into their swimmers and had a towel wrapped around where it mattered. Again the two walked side by side in silently towards the Female springs. It was still quite early in the morning and no one seemed to be present in the springs, no one that they could see though the mist. Little did they know that Kakashi sat at the other end of the springs. They removed their towel and slid into the warm water. Sakura had a brown bikini on and Sasuke wore Black and Blue board shorts. Both were blushing red but luckily thanks to the mist it wasn't that noticeable. They were silent once again. Only the sound of moving water could be heard. Sakura finally spoke to break the silence.

"Ne Sasuke-kun, I wonder where Kakashi-sensei is…"

Sasuke stared at the spot where Kakashi was and her shrugged. Kakashi thought that he had been spotted and so finally decided to show himself. Sakura followed Sasuke's gaze and as she looked a black figure began to emerge from t eh mist. Sakura shrieked. She thought that only she and Sasuke were in the springs. The Shadowy figure stopped and a voice spoke that sounded utterly familiar.

"It's only me Sakura, no need to scream." Kakashi said with a sweat drop on the side of his head. Sasuke just sighed.

"OMG Kakashi sensei! You scared the hell outta me! I thought that it was only me and Sasuke in here!"

The sweat drop on Kakashi grew bigger.

"Ah…gomen Sakura." He laughed nervously and sat next to Sakura. When his face was visible, both Sasuke and Sakura had the classical sweat drop. Kakashi who should have been only in his swimmers in the hot springs still had the black mask covering half his face. He didn't have his forehead protector so both eyes were visible. His mask seemed to come down to his neck but still covered his mouth.

"Kakashi sensei, how could you breathe with that thing? Why don't you take it off?" Sakura asked

"Can't do that." He replied with a grin.

"Don't you EVER remove that mask?"

"Yes I do, but you'll never see."

Sakura scowled in defeat and pouted. Sasuke remained silent and kept his distance from the two.

'Hmm…Sasuke is awfully quiet. Well, that's nothing unusual. But I know that he likes Sakura.' An evil thought came into mind. 'Hehehe…Since he likes Sakura, I wonder if the Sasuke Uchiha could get jealous? Well…only one way to find out. This is gonna be face three of my plan…'

Kakashi scooted over a little closer to Sakura. He turned to face his student.

"Sakura, did you know that that brown bikini suits you very well?" Kakashi said softly, moving a bit closer to her.

"U-Umm…Thank you Kakashi-sensei…"Sakura replied nervously.

"Hey, I'm not your sensei now, just call me Kakashi." He replied with a cheeky smile as he placed an arm on the edge of the spring's rocks behind her.

Sakura blushed a deep shade of red. He was sitting next to her a little too close for comfort.

Sasuke who had been sitting silently before watched as Kakashi sat really close to Sakura, a little too close for his liking. His blood began to boil as anger surged through his body. He felt that same feeling he had yesterday when Sakura asked him where Rock Lee was.

'Who the hell does Kakashi think he is? He is sitting way too close for a student and a teacher… What the hell does he think he's doing sitting that close to her?…Why do I feel like I wanna rip him to pieces?…Wait…I've felt this feeling before…is it…jealousy?…'

While these thought went through his head, Kakashi leaned in closer to Sakura. Their faces were only inches apart. Sasuke could not take it any more.

'That's it! He's crossed the line! I'll teach him!'
Kakashi had been keeping an eye on Sasuke to see his reaction. Sasuke began making his way towards the two with a head full of anger held in his chest. Kakashi pretended to not have noticed Sasuke's presence and continued to stare into the orbs of Sakura, which were now full of fear and confusion. Sakura didn't know what to do. Kakashi was too close to her and she didn't feel comfortable. She just stared back into Kakashi's black eyes. She didn't know what was going on. Then out of nowhere a fist came in contact with Kakashi's face and there was a 'poof' and Kakashi was replaced by a tree log.

'Kuso! I missed!' Sasuke thought as Kakashi appeared behind the enraged boy.

"Now, Now Sasuke, it's not like she's yours." Kakashi said in a playful tone.

Sasuke swung a leg around to kick him, which Kakashi easily dodged by jumping.

Sakura sat there wide-eyed at to what was happening.
"Wow. I was right. The Sasuke Uchiha can get jealous." Kakashi whispered to the raven-haired boy. These words hit him and he stood there frozen. That proved it. What made him act the way he just did was jealousy. He was jealous that Kakashi was so close to the one he loves.

Kakashi smirked.

"Well, I'll go now then, Meet you guys at the restaurant 7:30pm sharp."

With that Kakashi got his towel and climbed out of the springs. Little did they know that he also took Sakura's towel with him. 'Let's see what Sasuke does about this.' And with that Kakashi walked away towards the male change rooms with Sakura's pink towel.

Sasuke who had been standing for a while now, haven't moved since Kakashi's words had hit him. Sakura made her way towards him and looked at the boy who had focused his gaze on the water in front of him. Silence once again. It was Sakura's soft voice that broke the silence and brought Sasuke back from his train of thoughts.

"Sasuke-kun, are you okay?" Sakura asked and her gaze fell from his emotionless face to his bare chest, which made her blush crimson.

"Yeah." Sasuke finally replied after a while. He looked over to Sakura's face, which was blushing madly. Then his gaze fell onto her chest and he quickly looked away as his cheeks too, began to burn.

"Let's get out of here." Sasuke finally said in a monotone though his cheeks were still a tint of red.

"Yeah." Sakura agreed. The two went to fetch their towels. Sasuke found his and was about to fry himself when he saw that Sakura had a confused look on her face. She looked like she was looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" Sasuke asked.

"I can't find my towel. I left it right here and now its gone. How am I supposed to get out now?" Sakura looked sad. Sasuke didn't want to see her like this. He offered her his towel.

"Here." He said as he held out his towel for her. Sakura looked at Sasuke. It was like déjà vu. He had offered her his shirt the same way yesterday.

"It's okay Sasuke-kun. I'm sure that I can run to the change rooms instead." Sakura said sweetly and smiled reassuringly.

"Don't' be stupid. You can't run around like that." Sasuke replied. There was something different about his tone of voice. It sounded…like…concern.

It was true though. She couldn't run through the Hot Springs in the bikini she was in without prying eyes of perverted men. Knowing that he was right, Sakura asked back anyways.

"What about you? You can't run to the change rooms like that."

"Hn. Whatever. Just take it." He replied and shoved the navy blue towel into her hands. He climbed out of the water and made his way towards the change rooms. Sakura had only just noticed how HOT he looked in only his board shorts.

'He looks so SEXY!' Inner Sakura exclaimed. A hint of blush crept onto her face as she wrapped the dark towel around her. It felt extra soft for some reason. She made her way towards the change rooms and took a shower in there. She changed from her swimmers to her evening dress, the white one with the cherry blossom patterns all over it. She dried her hair and blew it dry. She decided to let her hair out. Sakura put on some pink lip-gloss and mascara. Once she was satisfied with the way she looked, she grabbed her bag and Sasuke's towel and left the change rooms.

Sasuke was waiting for her outside of the Hot Springs. He had changed from his usual ninja attire to dark denim jeans and a black t-shirt with a wide collar. He was staring at the floor in front of him. Lost in thought about Sakura and what had happened in the hot springs. ' That stupid pervert Kakashi… he was getting so close to Sakura…' Then Sakura in her brown bikini popped into his head at the thought of her. 'Though he was right about the brown bikini… it did suit her very well…Argh…stop it Uchiha…you're becoming like that pervert Kakashi!' He then continued his thoughts about how he was going to give Sakura his gift.

"Okay lets go Sasuke-kun." Sakura said cheerfully when she came out.

Sasuke broke from his train of thoughts looked up from the ground, her sweet voice ringing in his ears. His eyes went wide at the sight of her. She looked absolutely stunning in that white dress. It suited her so well. The colour of her hair clashing with the colour of the cherry blossoms on her dress. Sasuke found himself speechless. Sakura was smiling sweetly. Sasuke's heart seemed to melt as he took in her delicate features. From her long pink hair swaying gently in the gentle breeze along with her dress, to the white heels she was wearing to match the dress. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out.

' Is that Sakura?…She looks…. so…beautiful…that dress suits her so well….and her smile…' Sasuke's cheeks went red. He felt the urge to walk over and capture her lips and to hold her delicate hands in his.

Sakura, who had been smiling was jumping for joy inside when she saw Sasuke's reaction.

'Alright! Great choice with the dress! Sasuke-kun is BLUSHING! Aww… he looks even cuter when he blushes. I've got his attention now! Hell Yeah!'

Sakura walked up to Sasuke and handed him back his towel.

"Thank you Sasuke-kun for lending me your towel." Sakura said thankfully as she handed the navy towel back to him. He was still staring at her face, stunned by her beauty. He did not budge.

"Sasuke-kun? Sakura called out, still holding the towel out to him.

Sasuke was lost in her emerald eyes and came back to reality when Sakura called out his name.

"Huh?" Sasuke said in confusion.

"Here," Sakura replied as she handed him the towel. He took it though his gaze did no move from her eyes.

" Oh, and um… thanks for stopping Kakashi-sensei from getting so close to me…" Sakura spoke shyly as her cheeks reddened when the incident came into her mind. Sakura looked back up to see that he was staring at her and instantly looked away blushing even more with a hand on her cheek.

'Why is she blushing? … She looks so cute when she blushes…oh wait…I'm practically staring at her! …Why can't I look away? … Maybe cause I don't want too…' Sasuke blinked and finally looked away.

Sakura notice that he had lifted his stare from her and took this chance to walk straight past him.

As she did, Sasuke could smell her unique scent as her hair flew in the wind, which smelled very similar to a cherry blossom. He was once again hypnotized. Sakura stopped walking when she noticed that Sasuke wasn't following. She turned around and she saw that he was still standing at the door of the Hot Springs, staring at her. She grew tired of this and she walked back towards him. She grabbed his right hand with her left and began leading him away from the springs. Feeling her soft touch in his hand, he carefully without thinking linked (or intertwined) his fingers with hers.
