Chapter 10: SasuSaku Part V-

At the Café- Confessions Part 1

Sasuke and Sakura arrived at the café at 6:50pm. They were 10 minutes early so they decided to wait for Kakashi outside of the restaurant. Sasuke leaned on the wall and Sakura did the same right beside him. Their hands broke apart and Sasuke shoved them into his pockets. Sasuke was in deep thought on how he should give his gift to Sakura as well as how he was going to tell her his feelings. While he was thinking, a sign on the window of the café caught his attention. His eyes widened slightly as he read on. This is what the sign said:

Kimono's Café Du Paris is Celebrating

Valentine's Day!

By Having a Couple's Contest!

The contest will involve games and activities for couples to complete together!

The winners would receive a special Valentines Day prize!

Only Couple may enter tonight

Contest Begins at 8 pm

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Sasuke read it and choked slightly but managed to make it sound like a cough. Sakura looked at him when she heard this and followed his gaze towards the sign in the shop window. Her eyes widened in surprise as she read the sign. She let out a soft squeal of joy.

"Aww! That sounds so FUN! Let's Enter!" Sakura cheerfully cried.

Sasuke just looked at the girl and then an image of him and Sakura being a couple entered his mind. A blush crept onto his face at the thought and he looked down at the floor in front of him to hopefully hide his face from letting Sakura see the red tinge.

"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said in a soft voice that melted his heart, as she tugged on his sleeve to get his attention. Sasuke just looked the other way and that took all his strength as he wished that she would not take it the wrong way. Then a thought hit him. Everything seemed to be too coincidental.

' The hot springs… and now this…it's all too nicely planned out to JUST be a coincidence…a certain "someone" is behind this…hmm…who was there at the hot springs…? KAKASHI! And who told us to come here? KAKASHI! This is ALL Kakashi's doing! That pervert…wait… was he trying to set Sakura and me up? … It was his plan all along… right from the start…Well… its not that I mind being with her now…but…Things won't go any further now…I'll put an end to his plan! I'm leaving!'

Sasuke looked back at the pink-haired girl who was looking up at him with puppy-dog eyes.

"Please Sasuke-kun?" She pleaded. God was she determined to enter this stupid contest, Sasuke thought. He had a determined look in his eyes but softened slightly as his heart melted at the sight of her beautiful, bright green orbs, those emerald orbs that glistened and sparkled in the moonlight and were like windows into her innocent soul. He got up all his determination to say these words to her.

"No. I'm leaving." And with that he turned around and began to walk but was held back by Sakura's tugging harder on hi s sleeve.

"Aww! Please Sasuke-kun? It'll be fun!

Sasuke didn't move from his frozen position. He was afraid that if he looked at her, he would give in to those beautiful orbs that looked up to him ever so cutely. He took another step and immediately Sakura's tugging on his sleeve turned into a forceful grasp around his left arm.

"Sasuke-kun?"

She had linked his arm with hers and continued to look up at him with pleading eyes. Sasuke just shut his eyes tight and took another step in attempt to make Sakura let go.

Sakura gave up. She knew that she couldn't make Sasuke do things that he didn't want to. A sad look crept onto her face as she released her grip. She clasped her hands together in front of her and stared at the concrete ground beneath her feet.

'That's right… I'm just another fan girl… but… he likes me right? … But… that is still not an excuse for me to make him do something he didn't want to…'

Sasuke felt Sakura's grip on his arm loosen and he took this as a chance to escape. As he walked forward, he glanced back and saw the saddened look on her face. His heart-ached painfully at the sight. It felt more painful than the other times he had rejected her. It had never occurred to him before how much she affects him. He had never meant to make her sad. He just wants to ruin Kakashi's 'nice and smooth' plan. He stopped reluctantly in his tracks and stood there staring at the pink-haired kunoichi who had her head hung low with her hair covering most of her face. He let out a breath he was holding and turned back around to walk away, when a hand out of nowhere made firm grip on his right shoulder. He turned his head slightly and came face to face with their sensei.

"And where do you think you're going?" Kakashi asked.

Sakura looked up when she heard the familiar voice and her spirit lightened up.

' YAY! Kakashi-sensei will make Sasuke-kun stay!' She thought. She really did want Sasuke to stay and be her partner for the contest. (A/N: and we all know why…hehe XP who wouldn't want him to be your partner? Sasuke-kun!)

Sasuke just glared back at Kakashi. They were a fair distance away from Sakura but Sasuke still whispered his reply, hissed was more like it.

"I know what you're trying to do Kakashi. This whole day was to set me and Sakura up wasn't it?" Sasuke hissed as he looked back at the empty road in front of him. Kakashi raised an eyebrow at the remark.

"SO you finally figured it out eh?" Sasuke nodded slightly in reply.

"And you are trying to walk away aren't you?" Kakashi asked with a slight hint of amusement in his voice. Sasuke just snapped his head in the other direction. Kakashi chuckled.

"Well…Sasuke-kun, don't think that you can walk away just like that." He paused as the boy glared at his sensei with a mocking expression. " I knew that you'll figure it out sooner or later and I knew that you'd try to walk away."

"So? What are you going to do about it?" Sasuke shot back as his glare intensifies. Kakashi smirked, which then changed into a cheeky smile.

"If you don't stay, I'll make sure that you won't pass your chunnin exam." Kakashi whispered into the ear of the raven-haired boy, and then smirked.

These words hit Sasuke hard in the stomach. If he doesn't pass his chunnin exam, he wouldn't become stronger, thus, making him unable to complete his ambition.

"Kuso!" Sasuke said through clenched teeth, as he looked the other way once again.

Kakashi chuckled to himself at his perfect plan and victory over the Uchiha.

"Now you wouldn't want to keep little Sakura waiting over there any longer would you?" And with that he turned Sasuke around by the shoulders and began pushing the boy back towards the restaurant and back towards Sakura.

A cheerful smile rose onto Sakura's face at Sasuke's return. Sakura's gaze then fell onto the tall figure behind him and a hint of pink rose onto her cheeks.

Kakashi had changed out of his jounin attire and was wearing a tight black turtleneck top, which acted as a mask covering half his face, and baggy jeans. The tight top showed his well built body and that is why Sakura had blushed.

"Hey Sakura." Kakashi said in a happy tone once he released his grip on Sasuke's shoulders and slightly pushed the boy forward towards the pink-haired angel. Sasuke scowled at this.

"Hi Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura replied just as cheerfully. Sasuke's heart seemed to have lightened a bit from the guilt he was feeling before at Sakura's cheerful cry.

"Let's go in now shall we? I'm starving!" And with that Kakashi pushed open the door and entered closely followed by Sakura and Sasuke.

Beautiful pink and red streamers hung around the ceiling. Rose petals were scattered lightly across the tabletops. Individual candles on top of every table dimly lighted the café, which created a romantic atmosphere. Kakashi approached the counter and dinged the bell. Mizukai, the same waitress from before popped up behind the counter once again.

"Good Evening! Welcome to Kimono's Café Du Paris!" She greeted, and then looked at the three before speaking again.

"If you did not notice the sign on the window upon your entry, we are only accepting couples for tonight's activities and all the tables are for twos. " She motioned her hand towards the tables around the room that only had 2 seats per table.

"Oh that's alright! These two are a couple, so they'll go together." He pointed at Sasuke and Sakura, who both blushed at the comment. "And, you get your manager please?" Kakashi added.

"Sure!" And with that Mizukai went to the office to get the manger. Kakashi took out his book and Sasuke and Sakura sweatdropped. 'How the hell did he fit that in his jeans pocket?' They both thought. Kurenai came out of the office and walked up to Kakashi.

"Did someone want to see me?" Kurenai asked and then her gaze fell onto tall grey-haired figure and a tinge of pink rose to her cheeks.

"Oh. It's you Kakashi.." She tried to retain the annoyed tone in her voice but upon seeing his well-built-body-that-made-him-suddenly-look-so-hot jounin, she found it a little difficult.

Kakashi glanced up from his book at the mention of his name and his eyes widened at what he saw. A tinge of red rose became present on his cheeks but remained unseen behind his 'mask'. Kurenai stood there in a red cocktail dress. It was a hold-to-neck dress and was made from a satin-like material. It finished off just above her ankles in which she wore black heels to complete the look. The colour of the dress brought out the colour of her eyes and made her black hair look even blacker. There was only one word to describe her in Kakashi's mind. SEXY. Dead Sexy. Kakashi unconsciously put away his book and continued to stare at the goddess before him.

Sakura had noticed the slight blush on their faces and immediately figured out what was going on between them.

"Oh!…. I see…Ne Kakashi-sensei? Is she YOUR 'partner' for the evening?" Sakura asked in a cheeky tone. Kakashi broke out of his staring trance and answered back.

"Y-Yeah."

"I'd never thought that she'd go with you." She added mockingly. Kakashi glared at his student. He cleared his throat with a few little coughs before speaking again.

"Let's go take our seats shall we?" Kakashi said, trying to change the topic. (XP)

"Yes, we shall. Um? Mizukai? Please lead the way." Kurenai said to the waitress.

"Certainly Kurenai-sama. Please follow me." Mizukai responded as she picked up 2 sets of menus before heading over towards 2 tables.

"Two of you guys can sit here." She motioned to a vacant table with two seats.

"Sasuke, Sakura, You two can sit here." Kakashi said as he gave the two a little push towards their seats. "And me and Kurenai will sit at the next table okay?" Kakashi gave Sasuke a look that told him not to try and leave. Sasuke just glared back at Kakashi even though he wasn't even planning to escape. He actually quite enjoyed Sakura's presence though he would never admit that to Kakashi, but was still planning on a way to tell her how he feels.

Being a gentleman, he pulled out a chair for Sakura, which made her blush red at his kind gesture before kindly thanking him as she took her seat. Sasuke took the seat opposite and picked up a menu Mizukai had left on the table before showing Kakashi and Kurenai to their table.

Sakura did the same and began scanning over the delicious dishes listed on the menu. She didn't realize before, but she was really hungry. Come to think of it, she hasn't had anything to eat since breakfast. That was the same for Sasuke since they spent the whole day together.

"Sakura-chan!" Someone called out.

Sakura snapped her head in the direction of where the voice came from. It was Naruto and he was waving his hand wildly as though he was afraid that she would not see him. He was smiling widely and sitting opposite to him was the timid Hyuuga, Hinata. She just smiled friendly at Sakura. Both girls blushed as each of them noticed their 'partners' for the 'couple's contest'. Hinata with Naruto and Sasuke with Sakura. Sakura smiled back and pointed towards the table a few ones away from them where Kakashi and Kurenai were. Hinata nodded to show that she had noticed their senseis being together.

Sasuke glanced up from the menu to Sakura and followed her gaze to Naruto's table. His eyes darted back and forth from the blonde loud mouth to the purple-haired Hyuuga who was blushing a deep shade of red. He silently sighed and returned his gaze back to the menu.

Sakura waved one last wave at Hinata before turning back to her table and smiled cutely at Sasuke, who saw this and a tint of pink became present on his cheeks. He hates it when she does that. Why? Because it makes him realize how beautiful and cute she is and because of that smile it makes him experience things he hasn't experienced before. The feeling called 'LOVE'.

He quickly returned his gaze to the menu and had even attempted to hide behind it in order to hide the blush oh his face. Sakura giggled slightly at his actions and picked up the menu once again.

Mizukai approached their table.

"May I please take your order?" She asked kindly as she took out a notepad and a pen.

"Yeah, Sure! Umm, I'll have the Udon and Miso soup thanks!" Sakura replied eagerly as her stomach rumbled in agreement.

"Okay." Mizukai scribbled down the order onto her notepad. "And you sir?" She asked Sasuke. "Tonkatsu and Miso Soup." He replied. Sakura gave Sasuke a look that told him to say something more. Sasuke sighed and then added, "Thanks."

"Okay. Any drink with that?" Mizukai asked politely.

"I'll have a raspberry flavoured mineral water thank you!" Sakura replied and gestured for Sasuke to order. Sasuke closed the menu he was pretending to read and replied.

"Just iced water for me." He glanced over at Sakura before adding-

"Thank you." Which made Sakura smile in satisfaction.

"Alright. I'll be right back with your drinks and then your order." Mizukai smiled before heading over to fetch their drinks.

The two sat in silence after that. Sasuke focused his attention on the flame of the candle, which was flickering brightly as it casted shadows on his facial features.

Sakura sat there silently admiring his handsome face and the moving shadows on his features. She seemed to be hypnotized by the beautiful patterns it created and continued to stare unconsciously. Her gaze reached his onyx eyes. Those eyes that showed emotions no ordinary person has experienced. Those eyes that are so mysterious and cold and could instantly turn into a deadly glare when he wants it to. But today, those eyes show confusion and worry, and, she might be wrong but could it be 'love' also she is seeing in those eyes? People say that the eyes are the windows to a person's soul. Maybe that saying is true. Sakura continued to wonder about the emotions all mixed up within those onyx orbs for what seemed like eternity.

Sasuke, who had been gazing deeply into the flame of the candle felt a pair of eyes looking into his with such intensity. He lifted his gaze to meet hers and within that second, both their hearts began to beat faster and harder against their chests. Each other's gaze looking deeply into the others with great intensity and wonder. Bright green orbs meeting coal black ones. The two became oblivious of their surroundings and it seemed like time had stopped. His eyes darted back and forth as he looked into her eyes, which seemed like they were sparkling in the soft candlelight.

'Should I tell her now' were the words running through Sasuke's mind and without realizing it until too late, he blurted out her name.

"Sakura."

Sakura jumped a bit at the sound of her name as she was caught off guard at the sudden dialogue. She looked up questioningly at him. Sasuke took a deep breath as he gathered up all his courage and strength within him and pushed away his pride and reputation.

"S-Sakura… I-I-I… U-Umm…L-L-Lo-Lo…Umm…r-really…l-like y-you…" He stuttered somewhat like Hinata. He just couldn't say the four-letter word and so, said 'really like' instead. He silently cursed himself for not being able to say it.

"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura whispered in shock at his words. She wasn't sure if she heard him correctly but did he just confess that he liked her? And not just like, he said really like. Her face began to burn once again. The distance between them got smaller as they leaned in unconsciously closer and closer towards each other. Soon, their faces were only a few mere inches apart. Sakura's eyes began to droop as the distance between their faces slowly vanished.

Before their lips met, Mizukai came round to their table with their ordered meals on a tray. The couple abruptly pulled away from each other and began to blush furiously.

"Here are your meals!" Mizukai cried out cheerfully before looking at their totally flushed faces and a realization hit her.

"Oh! Gomenasai! Was I interrupting something?" She said apologetically.

"N-No. Its okay." Sakura replied shyly as her eyes met his and she looked away immediately as her face continued to burn.

Without any further ado, the two quietly ate their dinner with each trying to avoid eye contact with the other after the incident.
