Chapter 4

Alone time

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They were all in the gym. It was time for their practical exam in P.E. class with Gai-sensei. Ino was currently fighting with Temari while Hinata was fiddling with her fingers and TenTen was just sitting and waiting for her turn like all the others. But Sakura was off to dreamland…

She missed her parents badly. She wanted to see them again. Being alone in an empty house was kind of frustrating. She loved her parents so much. She didn't disobey them like most teenagers would do. Although one thing she hated about them is being able to persuade her to switch schools as often as possible. 'Maybe after the first semester they'll be sending me to another school but probably in a different country.' She thought.

She sighed and turned her attention back to Ino and Temari who was currently panting and maybe after a few more kicks and clumsy punches, they'll be lying on the bench trying to breathe.

And as Sakura predicted, they had a lot of clumsy punches and kicks at each other, and Gai sensing their frustration, he immediately stopped the fight.

"That was great! Give Ino and Temari a round of applause everyone!" Gai said clapping his hands. But Sakura's classmates did not only clap, they also cheered. Apparently Ino and Temari was a popular fighting pair.

Ino and Temari didn't bother to say 'thank you' they were too tired to say it. Gai didn't stop their fight immediately, he wanted to watch more. So it ended up with Ino and Temari's heavy panting and tiredness.

"Next!" Gai shouted over the loud cheers and applause. "We will be witnessing the fight of Sakura and Sasuke!" Gai said and everybody shut up. They all looked at the direction of Sakura and Sasuke.

Sasuke stood up and went to the middle of the gym. Seeing Sasuke's movements Sakura did the same also. Both acted as if it was nothing but the truth is…

'I think I don't want to fight her.' Sasuke thought his hands deep in his pockets.

'I think I'm nervous.' Sakura thought her hands gathering her long pink hair on a pony tail.

"Okay…START!" Gai signaled. None of them moved or said a word. Everybody looked as if they were not breathing. Even Ino and Temari.

Everybody knew about Sasuke's abilities. But Sakura? Does she even know what Sasuke is capable of doing? What'll happen with this exam? It's not that serious but sometimes it gets super serious.

Sasuke moved he tried to step forward. The second his foot touched the ground again Sakura disappeared. "I said taijutsu only!" Gai shouted. Everybody was looking for Sakura.

"I haven't even done anything yet!" Sakura shouted. She was behind Sasuke. She tried to kick Sasuke but he ducked and he grabbed Sakura by the ankle, his other hand still inside his pocket.

Sakura did a back flip trying to kick Sasuke once more, but Sasuke quickly dodged it. They stood their distance. Both were totally calm. On the outside.

'Man, he's good. No one's ever thought of doing me that kind of thing.' Sakura thought.

'She's too graceful and flexible. How am I gonna grab her?' Sasuke thought, thinking of his next move.

True, Sasuke was good. He is fast mover and a fast thinker. And Sakura was really flexible and graceful. When she kicks or tries any exhibition, it was like she was dancing. And Sasuke is sizzling hot when he's fighting.

They stared at each other for a long time. And both attacked each other at the same time.

It was kind of a long fight. They didn't use that much charka since they were only using taijutsus. But truthfully, both shinobis were really nervous. They didn't know each others abilities. And both seemed that they didn't want to fight each other in the first place.

The fight ended with Gai's whistle. After a lot more minutes of watching, Gai sensed that there would be no end in that fight so, he had no choice but to end it, or else they'll never finish the practical exams.

Both were panting slightly. All their kicks and punches were unsuccessful due to the great abilities of the shinobis.

Since P.E. class with Gai was last period, there wouldn't be any classes next so no one will complain if they will leave late.

Sakura left the girls to shower. She said that she'll be coming home early since her parents will be arriving. She didn't know that she'll be walking home with Sasuke…

Sasuke saw Sakura by the gates and saw that she was alone. He called after her. "Sakura!" Sakura turned around and saw him running up to her. She couldn't help but flush a bit.

"Hello!" Sakura politely greeted. Sasuke nodded. "Can I walk you home?" Sasuke asked.

"You really want to walk me home?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah? Why not?"

"You do realize how far my place is?"

"Actually no. But you can help me understand by taking me to it." Sasuke said.

"Then, Okay. But I need to take the fucking bus again." Sakura whined. Sasuke smirked. He was kind of like Neji. They like women who act like Sakura or TenTen. And they totally hate women that are really dying to take their picture. In short, trying hard people.

So they did the bus. Sasuke had never ridden the bus before. Really! He doesn't go to far places such as Sakura's place. He never really knew that the bus was such a turn-off. No wonder why people rarely take the bus.

"You're a good fighter you know." Sasuke said breaking their silence. "Thanks." Sakura briefly said. "You too." Sakura complimented.

'Why do we always have brief conversations?' Sakura and Sasuke both thought and wondered.

It was a long ride. Now Sasuke knew why Sakura always seemed to be late at first period classes.

Sakura finally stood up and signaled Sasuke to do so too. They arrived at a kind of small street that no person can be found. He saw the sign 'Spring Cheery Blossom Street'

"How come I've never seen this place before?" Sasuke asked Sakura looking around. You could only see beige colored walls. For now.

"That's because it's private property." Sakura said happily. Sakura always loved spring time. Sasuke still further wondered. "Your questions are about to be answered now." Sakura said pointing towards the end of Spring Cheery Blossom Street.

When they left the deserted street Sasuke immediately saw a row of freshly bloomed cheery blossoms.

"Wow!" Sasuke said. He couldn't believe his eyes! It was beautiful. He was disappointed that it was a private property.

"C'mon my place is over there!" Sakura giggled dragging Sasuke. Sasuke still couldn't take his eyes off from the beautiful cheery blossoms then he looked up to Sakura.

'She's beautiful' Sasuke thought then completely shocked himself. 'What the hell did I just say?' he thought once more, wanting to smack himself.

Sakura led him over to a magnificent house, actually more like mansion. It's as big as Sasuke's place but Sakura's house was more beautiful than Sasuke's.

Sasuke's place was big and spacious but the walls were plain colored and the garden only consist of bushes shaped like dolphins or other things and a single big fountain. But Sakura's home was beautiful. Seeing the cheery blossom garden makes your day great!

They went inside and the second they stepped inside the house, maids and a butler came asking for their needs. "The usual." She briefly but politely said.

"C'mon let's go to the garden." Sakura said dragging Sasuke once more. Sasuke didn't know that she was a hyper active child also. The way she giggled and smiled and walked and talked and everything about her, just makes Sasuke very…happy and…very…

The garden was just as beautiful as the cheery blossom garden he saw earlier. Sakura blended with the scene perfectly. It was like the goddess of beauty has finally showed herself to human beings.

Instead of sitting on a chair they decided to sit on the soft earth instead. The wind was blowing and the cheery blossoms where swaying so perfectly. It was a great scene.

Their beverages arrived. It was 2 mocha cappuccino shakes. Sakura loved them, she wondered if Sasuke did also.

"I thought that your parents are supposed to be arriving today." Sasuke asked. "How'd you know?" Sakura asked with a puzzled expression.

"Sorry, I overheard." Sasuke said looking down and taking a sip from his cappuccino. Sakura smiled at his confession. "Yeah, they're supposed to be arriving but they'll be here later this night." She said looking up at the sky.

Suddenly the bushes around them began to shake. Sasuke looked suspicious so did Sakura. Then about eighteen dogs came out of the bushes and ran to them.

They were all after Sakura. Sakura not being able to control the excited dogs accidentally dropped her cappuccino to Sasuke's shirt.

"All right! Behave little dudes!" Sakura shouted and immediately, the dogs behaved. They sat together wagging their cute tails. "Back to the house!" Sakura ordered and they did as what they were told. They went back inside in a straight line. Well organized.

Sakura turned to Sasuke. "I'm soooo sorry!" Sakura cried out to Sasuke. Sasuke was just drying his shirt with a napkin. "It's nothing don't worry."

"I'm sorry! Really, really sorry. I'm so sorry!" Sakura exclaimed. "It's okay, I mean it." Sasuke said still wiping off the cappuccino. "Oh no, this'll stain. Mom's gonna kill me." He said even though her mom doesn't do the laundry.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Sakura exclaimed again. Apparently Sakura was over reacting. Sasuke thought of a way to silence her and actually it was kind of…surprising.

Neji was with TenTen that time. They were looking for Hinata. Neji asked TenTen if she saw her but she didn't so TenTen offered help so now they were together. They were walking by a street leading to the ramen shop. They were thinking that maybe Hinata was with Naruto.

They were walking quietly when TenTen dropped a piece of paper. TenTen went to pick it up but the wind blew so it flew away. Neji sensed TenTen's frustration and went to get it before it'll be more away than it is now.

Neji handed TenTen the piece of paper. "Thanks." TenTen said with a smile. "No prob." Neji said.

'He so sweet!' TenTen thought. TenTen can no longer be in denial about her crush on Neji.

'I love her smile too much.' Neji said finally admitting to himself that he has fallen to a trap called… "A crush on the famous weapons specialist, TenTen."

'I have to make her smile more.' Neji thought again. "Hey, you hungry? I'll treat you to something." He said looking at her.

"Yeah sure. Since we're before the ramen shop why don't we eat ramen and maybe we'll be able to find Naruto." She said smiling. Neji smiled his rare smile.

And they found Naruto with Hinata eating…of course ramens!

Sakura still haven't stopped apologizing to Sasuke even though Sasuke already forgave her. Sakura thinks that he's mad because of the stain that the shirt had.

So to be able to shut Sakura up he did the least thing he would do to another girl.

As Sakura was too busy apologizing she didn't notice that Sasuke leaned closer.

Sasuke kissed Sakura on lips gently.

Sakura was dumbstruck.
