Chapter 12: SasuSaku Part VII-

The Couple's Contest

Kurenai stepped up onto the stage with a microphone and announced the beginning of the contest.

"Good evening ladies and gentleman and couples for the evening. Welcome to Kimono's Café Du Paris. Thank you for joining us here tonight, as we are about to begin the Couple's Contest in honor to Valentine's Day. All those that are now present are immediately and automatically entered into the contest."

The crowd was silent as they listened intently to Kurenai's announcement.

"I will now explain briefly about the contest for those who are still confused or do not understand. There will be three activities that each couple has to go through together and try their best in. At the end, whichever couple achieved the best results, or completed the activities the best would win a special Valentine's Day Prize. Prizes would be awarded to the places first, second and third. Any questions?"

Whispers of excitement went through the crowd but no one put up their hand to ask a question.

"Okay. The first event will begin shortly."

Kurenai gave a signal to Mizukai to prepare the contestants for the first Activity. A long bar or chocolate was handed out to each couple. They were about 2 cm wide and 20 c in length. There were many confused looks among the couples as they all looked at the bar on their table and they back at Kurenai.

"In the first activity, you have to both eat the bar of chocolate from each end without breaking it. Whoever's remaining piece of chocolate is smallest when the time is up, Wins the first event. So, the couple with the smallest piece of chocolate after three minutes wins the activity."

Kurenai looked around to see if they understood the activity and was replied with nods.


Sasuke looked at the piece of chocolate on the table and his eye began to twitch. Sakura on the other hand, was determined to come first and win the prize with her dear Sasuke-kun, and so, thought nothing more than to complete the first event. The two sat at opposite ends of the unusually small table and picked up the bar of chocolate just like everyone else had. Sasuke let out a heavy sigh and prepared himself for the task ahead.
"Contestants ready?" Kurenai asked as she looked around to each table to see for herself. Sakura held one end of the chocolate near her lips and Sasuke did the same.

"Okay. Ready? Set? GO!"


Sakura began took the first bite of the bar of chocolate and was slightly surprised at how deliciously sweet it was. It wasn't just plain chocolate though; it had a thin layer of wafer, surrounded by creamy white chocolate and caramel. Sasuke flinched a bit at the taste. He never liked chocolate to begin with, or anything sweet for that matter, so he decided to focus his attention on something else besides the taste of the chocolate. He lifted his gaze from the bar in his mouth and for the first time since the activity began, he realized how close his face was to Sakura's. Then it hit him. If they were to eat from each end and get the smallest piece to remain, it meant that their faces have to get pretty close to each other, and that includes their lips. His heart began to beat faster as their faces drew nearer. He hesitated a bit to continuing eating.

Sakura, however, seemed to not have been aware of the fact that Sasuke's lips would only be a few mere centimeters from hers. She was so into the activity and was lost in the sweetness of the chocolate bar.


"Time's Up!" Kurenai called out after 3 minutes.

It was that moment that Sakura broke out of her trance in indulging the sweet taste of the chocolate bar and noticed Sasuke's face. She looked up into his eyes and her eyes widened in shock at how close their faces were. They both blushed furiously. They had one more bite before their lips would meet and become into a kiss. Sakura looked back at the chocolate and considered taking that last bite and collide her lips with her Sasuke-kun's. They once again looked deeply into each other's eyes and seemed to be lost in them. Sakura opened her mouth slightly and slowly began to lean in and take that last bite. Her eyes feel shut along with his, as their lips were about to meet. But just before it did-

FLASH!

Sasuke and Sakura quickly and abruptly snapped off the chocolate and the remaining piece fell onto the table. Their faces were beet red and both snapped their head in the direction where the flash had come from.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

There stood Kakashi grinning evilly at the two as he continued to take snapshots of the blushing couple.

"Come on! Smile for the camera!" Kakashi said cheekily with a hint of amusement in his tone.

Sasuke and Sakura glared at Kakashi, both mentally stabbing kunais into his back.

"Kakashi!" They both called out in frustration. They were about to charge and snatch the camera from him but he was too quick for them.

"Enjoy the rest of the evening!" And with that he disappeared into a puff of smoke with a 'poof'.

Sasuke's eye began to twitch once again as a vein twitched above his head also.


"Okay! A waitress will come to each table and record the lengths." Kurenai announced. As if on cue, Mizukai came round to their table with a little ruler and measured their remaining piece to the nearest millimeter.

"Alright. 13 millimeters." She wrote the measurement on a piece of paper ruled with 2 columns, one for their names, and one for the lengths. "May I have your names please?" She asked.

"Haruno Sakura, and-" Sakura looked at Sasuke as she began to blush once again at the thought of the moment before. "Uchiha Sasuke." She finished off.

"Thank you. You know, so far, your piece is the smallest. Wish you guys luck!" And with that Mizukai left with a smile towards the next table.

Sakura felt really thirsty and drank down half of her mineral water in attempt to cool her face down and to wash down the taste of the deliciously sweet chocolate she had a while ago. Sasuke did the same to try and cool down his anger on Kakashi as he continued to mentally curse the jounin.

'Kakashi is so dead. Just he wait to the next mission we have… That man is going to PAY' Sasuke kept thinking of ways to get Kakashi back and how to steal that camera from the grey-haired man.


"May I have your attention please?" Kurenai spoke into the microphone over the chattering crowd. The crowd hushed into silence as their attention soon focused onto Kurenai.

"Thank you. It is time to announce the winners for Activity one. The smallest piece remaining came to a measurement of 13 millimeters."

Sakura gasped in excitement.

"The winners are-" A spot light fell onto Sasuke and Sakura's table. Sakura's eyes widened slightly as she held her breath. "Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura!" The crowd applauded which made Sakura blush red. Sasuke managed to retain his expressionless face and avoided any eye contact with anyone from the people around them, especially the girls. The girls seemed to have forgotten about their dates as they gaped at the handsome Uchiha with their heart-shaped eyes. The girls' dates shot envious glares at the Uchiha but instantly forgot their troubles as they laid eyes on the cute little blushing Sakura in her beautiful white dress.

"Would the couple like to please take a bow?" Kurenai asked.

Sakura stood up nervously from her seat and Sasuke did the same in a cool and laid back way. They took their bows and quickly sat back down in their seats. The spotlight dimmed into nothing and all attention went back to Kurenai.

"Okay. Please remain in you seats as Activity two will begin shortly." Kurenai smiled in satisfaction before stepping off the stage and went back to her table where Kakashi sat with a lazy smile as continued to read his book.


"Well, so far so good." Kurenai spoke as she sat down in her seat. "Who would have known that your two students that were trying to set up would win the first activity?" She looked suspiciously at Kakashi.

"I did of course!" Kakashi said in a cheerful tone as he grinned cheekily. "And what a cute picture I got too!" He held up his digital camera and chuckled. "You've should've seen Sasuke's face! It wasn't expressionless for one bit! And I got one of Naruto and Hinata as well! Her face was so red! It looked liked she had a massive fever or something!"

Kurenai laughed along with the single sharingan user.

"You got to give me a copy of the photo Kakashi! An you better not forget!" Kurenai said afterwards.

'I love that laugh…sounds so…sweet…and melodic… God does she look HOT in that dress or what?" Kakashi thought as his gaze fell from her beautiful face to her chest. The low cleavage brought a red tinge to his cheeks as he quickly looked back up to see if she had noticed his perverted behavior. (Hentai! XP) He let out a silent sigh of relief when he saw that she was still laughing. His attention came to focus on her plump red lips. He really wanted to capture those lips and claim them as his own. And, come to think of it, he wouldn't have mind doing the first activity with her. But, it's too late now. Kakashi sighed. He had missed the opportunity to come within a few millimeters to those red lips he adored. There was only one thing that could take his mind off of this regret now. He took out 'Come, Come Paradise Volume 2' and picked up where he left off.

Kurenai looked around the room and it seemed like everyone was a bit calmer from the excitement after the first activity.

"I think its time to begin Activity two."

Kakashi just nodded in agreement. Kurenai took a deep breath and announced the beginning of the second activity.


"Activity two will now take place." Kurenai spoke into the microphone as she steeped up onto the stage. The crowd hushed into silence once again as their attention became focused onto the woman with red eyes and black wavy hair.

"I will now explain activity two. In activity two, each and every couple would be blindfolded and each person would be separated on the dance floor. Now, the objective is that each person has to find his or her partner, whilst blindfolded. Whoever finds their partner first, wins the second activity."

Whispers of excitement once again rose within the crowd. Kurenai smiled at this before continuing.

"A waitress will come round to your table shortly, blindfold you and your partner and then lead you onto the dance floor. Once everyone is set, I will announce the start and the contest will proceed. Thank you." The spotlight went off as Kurenai stepped off the stage. Multiple lights click on as they lit the dance floor brightly. The couples began to whisper in excitement once again.


Mizukai came to Sasuke and Sakura's table with two blindfolds, a blue and a pink one. She tied the pink one around Sakura's eyes and led her onto the dance floor before going back and tied the navy-blue coloured material around Sasuke and then leading him in the opposite direction to where she had led Sakura. The two stood nervously on the spot and waited. Sakura fidgeted a bit, whereas Sasuke looked rather bored by this and stood coolly and calmly on the spot with his hands in his pockets.
Mizukai went to Hinata and Naruto's table afterwards with 2 blindfolds but this time she had an orange and a purple one. She was about to tie the purple one around Hinata when Naruto interrupted her from doing so.

"Hey! Onosa, onosa, Can I tie the blindfold around Hinata-chan? Please?" Naruto asked Mizukai. Hinata blushed red as she smiled shyly at Naruto and his words.

"Err…yeah, sure!" Mizukai replied. She thought it was a really sweet gesture and smiled in admiration at the cute little couple. Naruto cheered and politely took the purple piece of material and walked behind Hinata. As carefully as she could, he wrapped the material around her eyes and did one small knot in it.

"Is that alright Hinata-chan? Not too tight?" He asked softly. Hinata was speechless at his sweet gesture and nodded quickly in reply. Naruto smiled as he did one more knot and waved a hand in front of her to check if she was blindfolded properly. He smiled out of Satisfaction and led her off her seat then passed her hand to Mizukai who led her across the dance floor. She came back a little while afterwards and blindfolded Naruto, noticing the joyful grin plastered on the fox boy's face.


'Great. One more activity to go.' Sasuke thought sarcastically. He smirked at his next thought. 'This is going to be over in no time, thanks to my advanced bloodline.'

Once everyone was on the dance floor, all blindfolded and ready to begin, Kurenai announced the start of Activity two. She stepped up onto the stage and spoke into the microphone.

"Contestants ready?" Kurenai asked. "Ready? Set? GO!"


The room erupted into loud callings of each other's partners' names. Every one wandered around with arms out stretched blindly looking for their partners, all except for Sasuke Uchiha.

Sasuke closed his eyes and opened them to activate and reveal his sharingan, though no one saw the red eyes with black comma-like swirls because one, they were blindfolded, and two, so was he. With his sharingan now activated, he saw right through the material but could only manage to see blobs of blue charkra in the shape of the person it belonged to. He began to search for a particular pink-haired kunoichi's charkra whilst dodging getting ran into by other people walking around in search of their partners.


Naruto was one of those who walked around blindly with their hands out stretched. The only thing that made him stand out from the rest was the unusually loud calls from him that could be heard above the others. Of course, just like the others, he ran into many people and muttered 'sorry's to them before once again calling out the timid Hyuuga's name.

"Hinata-chan? Where are you!" He called as he repeatedly walked around in a circle without realizing.

Hinata was a Hyuuga, which meant that she too had and advanced bloodline. The Hyuugas were famous for their white eyes that can activate the Byakugan. (Is that right spelling? Please tell me if it is or not XP) Hinata activated the Byakugan the moment the activity began and had just barely avoided being ran into by a brown-haired boy. After letting out a sigh of relief, she began to dodge her way through the crowd looking for Naruto and following his louder-than-the-rest calls for her.


Sasuke finally sensed the familiar charkra he was looking for. He followed the charkra pattern he only knew too well of and eventually spotted Sakura.

Sakura was a smart girl. She had used her ninja skills in this activity, and it was the one she was good at. Charkra control. Sakura stood transfixed on the spot as she focused to keep a constant amount of charkra to erupt from her. She knew that Sasuke would be able to sense her charkra and find her, so, she stood still on one spot and sensed the charkra patterns around her to help out. Sakura suddenly sensed a familiar charkra, most likely the charkra of the raven-haired boy she was looking for.

"Sasuke-kun? Is that you?" She called out once the charkra was near.

"Sakura." A monotonous voice replied. She smiled as she recognized the voice immediately. Sakura continued to stand still on the spot like waiting for her 'knight' in shining armour to come to her.

A boy with dark-brown hair was walking at an unusually fast pace walked in Sakura's direction and accidentally ran into her. He collided with her and they both fell onto the floor with him on top of her and his face buried within her neck. Sakura let out a shriek and began struggling to get the body off of hers. Sasuke saw this and could not bare the sight as anger began to burn within him. No one is allowed to touch HIS Sakura. Since when did she become HIS Sakura? Sasuke stormed over and grabbed the boy's shirt collar and pulled him up so that his feet were half dangling in the air. The boy was really afraid and struggled a bit in attempt to be released from Sasuke's grip, but that only made him tighten it. He kept apologizing in attempt to save him from getting hurt.

"Get lost you bastard or else." Sasuke threatened through clenched teeth before releasing his grip, which caught the boy unaware and made the brown-haired kid collapse onto the floor who then scurried away before he got into any more trouble.

Sasuke made his way back to Sakura, who was still lying flat on the floor. Sasuke grabbed her hand pulled her up onto her feet.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly with a hint of concern in his usual monotonous voice.

"Y-yeah…" Sakura replied as she tried to stand.

"…Oo-ops!" She slipped on her heels and fell forward into Sasuke's strong arms. She held onto his shoulders for support as Sasuke had caught her by the waist. Sakura blushed deeply before saying a soft "S-sorry…" apologetically.

What was she sorry for? It wasn't like she had hurt the Uchiha or anything. Sasuke didn't know how to react to this and so, did the first thing that came into his mind at the moment. He wrapped his arms around her fragile body and pulled her into an embrace. He smelt her sweet aroma rising from her hair as he pulled her body closer to his.

Sakura was stunned by his actions and did not know how she should react to this. But there was one thing that she couldn't and wouldn't deny and that was the fact that it felt so right. So, without any sense of doubt, she gave in and rested her head on his sturdy chest and wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt very relaxed and warm as heat radiated from his body at their close proximity. Sakura smiled happily and leaned in closer towards him as he rested his head on hers. She felt so safe and secure in his strong arms and both did not want the moment to end.


Meanwhile…

"Hinata-chan! Where are you? Hinata-chan!" Naruto continued to call out as he wandered around in circles, in hopes of finding the timid Hyuuga. Hinata finally found Naruto and called out his name in reply to his callings.

"N-Naruto-kun! I-I'm Here!" Hinata called out in her usual soft voice as she pushed her way through the crowd to make her way towards the blonde-boy.

Naruto's ears twitched as he heard the familiar voice call out his name.

"Hinata!" Naruto turned around to face the Hyuuga. He began following the voice with his arms out-stretched outwards and waving frantically. He broke into run in the direction of where he thought the voice was coming from.

"Hinata-chaaaannnn!"

Hinata stood there on the spot as she watched Naruto run in the direction a few meters away from her and into a-

BAM!

" O-o-owwww…" Naruto had ran into a wall and fell backwards flat onto the floor. He was knocked out unconscious. Hinata headed over to see if he was all right.

"N-Naruto-kun…Daijoubu desu ka?" She asked in a soft tone full of concern as she knelt beside him and lifted his head gently off the floor. She stared at the unconscious intently and hoping that he was all right. Naruto twitched a bit before he regained conscious.

"Hinata-chan?" He groaned, then opened his eyes expecting to see the girl but saw nothing. It was pitch-black.

"Argh! Hinata-chan! I've gone blind! NO! I won't be able to see your cute face ever again!" Naruto yelled as he waved his arms around in panic.

Hinata blushed at his words, but giggled slightly at his stupidity. She removed her blindfold and then lifted off the orange fabric off of his eyes.

"Y-You was wearing a blindfold S-silly." She giggled as she held up the piece of orange material to show her point. Naruto blinked. Then blushed in embarrassment as he smiled sheepishly at the giggling Hyuuga.

"Oops! I forgot… Hehe." Naruto scratched the back of his head as he laughed along with the Hinata.

"I was so afraid that I would never see you again!" He lunged forward and hugged the girl, which made her gasp in shock and her face burn in every shade of red.


"Well! It looks like we have a winner!" Kurenai announced as a spotlight fell onto Sasuke and Sakura. They removed their blindfolds as they broke away from their embrace. The bright light blinded them a bit as they squinted their eyes and looked around.

"If it isn't the winning couple of the first activity! Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno! The crowd applauded as they all removed their blindfolds with some searching for their partner still.

"Congratulations! You are the winners for the second- waits a minute-" Kurenai was cut off when a spot light fell onto Naruto and Hinata.

"Well, it looks like it's a tie for the second activity. May the second couple please state their names to the other contestants!"

"Yeah! Watashi wa Uzamaki Naruto!" Naruto cried cheerfully as he held Hinata in his arms. Hinata was blushing furiously and seemed to have lost her voice out of shock.

" And this is my girlfriend Hyuuga Hinata and I LOVE HER!" Naruto grinned at the girl before smiling towards the crowd. The restaurant erupted into claps and cheers for the two winning couples.

"Congratulations to both couples! Well! That was Activity two. Please return to your seats as activity three is being prepared. Thank you." Kurenai finished off and stepped off the stage.

Everyone made their way back to their tables. Some ordered drinks as they chatted to their partners.


Sasuke was still holding onto his blue blindfold and hastily shoved it into his pockets before walking back to his table. Sakura followed, wringing the pink fabric nervously as she recalled the moment before. Once she sat in her seat, she quickly drank down the rest of her water and stared at her lap as if though it was far more interesting that the Uchiha's eyes. The two sat there waiting for the next and final activity of the contest.
"YAY! We won! We won Hinata-chan!" Naruto cheered as he held Hinata's hands and spun around in joy. Hinata's cheeks were burning brightly once again as Naruto Spun her around on the dance floor.

"N-Naruto-kun…W-we o-only w-won t-the second round, b-but e-even that w-was a-a tie with S-Sakura-chan and S-Sasuke-san."

Hinata managed to say as Naruto continued to cheer. Naruto froze after that and furrowed his brows as his eyes narrowed into questioning slits

"Oh yeah! We are going to win the next round and beat that Sasuke-teme!" Naruto said aggressively as his eyes emitted into flames of determination. Hinata just giggled a bit at Naruto's determination. Naruto smiled at this and held her hand as they went back to their table.


Kurenai let the contestants rest a while from the excitement of the last activity. She stepped off the stage and returned to her seat where Kakashi was.

"One more activity to go. Then we'll announce the winners." Kurenai said as she sat down and took drink champagne.

"Hmm." Kakashi replied but his attention was focused on his book. Kurenai raised an eyebrow at this.

"Are you listening to me Kakashi?"

"Hmm."

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm." Then Kurenai got an idea to get his attention.

"Wow. Wait till Anko-chan hears about this."

"Huh? About what?" Kakashi looked up from his book with wide eyes.

"HAHA! That got your attention." Kurenai laughed in triumph. It was Kakashi's turn to raise an eyebrow.

"Alright Kakashi. You are going to explain the next activity."

"Huh? Why?" Kakashi gave Kurenai a confused look. Why all of a sudden did he have to explain the third activity when she had already done the first two?

"Because you have done nothing at all this evening but read your perverted book!" Kurenai scolded.

"But-" Kakashi attempted to protest.

"No buts!" Kurenai snapped back.

Kakashi sighed in defeat as he put away his book and thought about how to announce the last activity. He lazily got off his seat, gave a very, very little glare to Kurenai who was smiling widely in triumph, and stepped up onto the stage. With one last sigh, a spot light fell onto the jounin as he grabbed the microphone. He straightened up his posture and cleared his throat with a few little coughs.

"Good evening friends!" he said cheerfully as he held up a palm. Many girls began to swoon at how sexy he looked and paid close attention.

"I'll be your host for the final Activity of the couple's contest. Now, Are we ready to begin?"

His question was met with silence from the crowd, and maybe little distant coughs. (a cricket chirped XP) A sweat drop grew on the side of Kakashi's head as he smiled nervously.

"I said, are we ready to begin?" He asked again.

"Yes…" a few replied lazily.

"I can't hear you-"

"YEAH!" All the girls screamed as they gaped at the jounin with their heart-shaped eyes.

"Alright! Now, in Activity three, this will test you on how much you know about your partner."

The crowed blinked.

"Okay, there will be five questions that you have to answer about you partner and one point will be awarded to each correct answer. In the end, we will add up you and your partners' scores to be out of 10 and whoever has the highest score win! Sounds easy enough, right?"

Some contestants widened their eyes in shock.

"I say, judging by the wide-eyes in the crowd that most of you don't really know your partners that well." Kakashi added as she looked around the room. He was answered with a few nervous laughs, which made him smirk.


'W-What! I don't know a thing about Sakura!' Sasuke thought.

'B-but… I-I don't know Sasuke-kun that well…even if I have been his fan girl for so long…' Sakura thought as she fiddled with the hem of her dress nervously.

"NANI! I don't know my Hinata-chan that well!" Naruto cried out loud. Hinata just blushed at the fact that Naruto called her, 'My Hinata-chan'.


"Okay! Just so that you guys don't get last minute information, the girls head over to that table-" he pointed to a table on his right where Kurenai sat, "And the boys head over to that table-" he pointed to a table on his left, "-IMMEDIATELY! Come on now! Chop, Chop!" he clapped his hands to emphasize his point. Kurenai sweat dropped at Kakashi's actions. The crowd made their way to where Kakashi had ordered them. They formed a line behind each table and waited for the next instructions.

"Now, on the table there should be a piece of paper with five questions. Answer each one about yourself. I repeat, About YOURSELF! Not your partner, and don't forget to put your name on top. After that fold it in half and put it into the envelope provided with you and your partners' names on the front. Once everyone has answered that questions about themselves, swap tables and answer questions about your partner. Does everyone understand?"

Kakashi was answered with nods from a few people. He grinned.

"Okay! You may begin!"

Kurenai sat at the girls' table and supervised each person whereas Mizukai sat at the boy's table and did the same. Once everyone had written the answers tot eh questions about themselves, they swapped tables and began to answer questions about their partners.


Sasuke came to answer questions about Sakura and these were the questions and his answers to them:

What is her Favourite colour?

A:Pink

What is her favourite fruit or vegetable?

A:Strawberries

What are her likes?

A:Me, Uchiha Sasuke?

What are her dislikes?

A:Anything spicy or sour.

What is her dream?

A:I don't know but it has something to do with me?

Sasuke sighed. He didn't really know anything about Sakura but he was surprised at how easily he managed to answer those questions. Though still, they weren't really that hard to answer. He remembered the first day when they met Kakashi and he had asked them to introduce themselves. He didn't know why he had remembered Sakura's blushing face and her squeals when she introduced herself.

-- Flashback --

Kakashi: Next.

Sakura: My Name is Haruno Sakura! What I like is…well the person I like is umm…

(steals little glances at Sasuke and blushes)

my hobbies are to…umm…

(steals glances at Sasuke and continues to blush)

my dream is to umm…

(takes a glance at Sasuke and squeals at the thought)

Kakashi: (raises an eyebrow) Oh? And what are your dislikes?

Sakura: Naruto!

Naruto: (Jaw drops and anime tears forms in eyes)

Sakura: (continues to steal glances at Sasuke)

--End Flashback—

Remembering that day brought a smirk onto the Uchiha's face. Of course, she doesn't hate Naruto now; she has learnt to respect him and have even became friends. Although he didn't know why he had remembered that day and Sakura's squeals and her ever-so-cute blushing face. Had he noticed and liked her since then? With these thoughts still running through his head, he made his way back to his table and waited silently for this final event to end.


Sakura came across to the same questions about Sasuke and this was what she answered.

-Black or any dark colour

-Tomatoes

-Doesn't have many likes, or hardly at all

-Has a lot of dislikes

-His dream is to avenge his clan by killing a certain man and to revive his clan.

Sakura knew Sasuke very well after being on the same team with him and being a fan girl as well. The memory of the first day as a genin and when they first met their sensei Kakashi, who told them to introduce themselves was what she had based her answers on. Come to think of it, those questions were pretty simple and easy to answer. She just wished that they would win even though she knew that the chances of Sasuke answering any questions correct about her were very slim. She walked back to her table where Sasuke was and sat down without a word. The silence soon became uncomfortable and surprisingly, it was Sasuke who spoke first.

"Sakura?"

She looked up to meet his gaze at the mention of her name.

"Hm?"

"Is your favourite fruit strawberries?" he asked as she looked away from her sparkling green orbs.

"Yeah. How did you know?" She asked curiously.

"I just guessed." Sakura smiled at this. At least now she knows that Sasuke got one question about her correct.


Naruto was now up to the stage where he had to answer questions about Hinata. He was stressing out really badly as he clutched his head from a headache that was forming. He finally decided to just answer the first thing that popped into his head and these were his answers.

-Purple

-Grapes

-Likes Ramen

-Dislikes: Don't know. None?

-Dream: To be a strong Hyuuga.

Naruto walked away with his head drooping and gloom in the background. Hinata on the other hand answered the questions with ease.

-Orange

-Don't like any fruits or vegetables

-Likes: ramen

-Dislikes: Waiting 3 minutes after putting in the hot water for the ramen to be done

-Dream: To become the next Hokage.

Hinata went back to her table with a happy smile about how easy that activity was.


"Alright! That wasn't so hard was it?" Kakashi asked the crowd once everyone was done. He was replied with groans and grunts.

"Now, sit tight while the two beautiful ladies mark the answers and give you back your results!"

And with that he stepped off the stage and leaned against the wall as he took out his book to kill time.


Kurenai and Mizukai busied themselves with the papers and sorted them out and recorded the points for each couple.
"And the winner for Activity three is-" Kakashi announced followed by a drum roll

"Hmm. Wow! If it isn't the winners of Activity one and two! Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura with 9/10!"

Sakura gasped in shock. She didn't expect to get such a high score let alone win. Did Sasuke really know that much about her? Her thoughts were cut off when a spotlight fell onto their table.

"Coming Second with 8/10 were Uzamaki Naruto and Hyuuga Hinata!" Kakashi added.

Another spotlight fell onto Hinata and Naruto's table. Hinata, of course was blushing furiously. Naruto, on the other hand could not believe his luck. His guesses must've been correct and so he jumped out of his seat in joy and took Hinata's hand as he began to cheer and dance in glee. The crowd applauded and some laughed at Naruto's cheery behavior.

"Congratulations to the couples!" Kakashi congratulated the couples and the room erupted into loud roars and cheers. "Thank You! But, sadly, the contest has now come to an end. Within a few moments, we would be announcing the winners of the contest!" Kakashi announced and he stepped off the stage. Kakashi, Kurenai and Mizukai looked at the results and decided on who were the winning couples.
