Disclaimer: In Chapter 3 I took an idea from the movie 'Salior Moon'. I didn't realize that a lot of people knew about it. Just wanted to say that I didn't steal it, just borrowed.

Chapter 4-Feelings

Sakura looked away from Sasuke and back at her reflection. Sasuke kept his gaze on Sakura. Sakura felt his eyes on her, "Sasuke..."

"Hm?" Sasuke despratly hoped that she would say something nice to him.

"Stop staring at me." She said it without even looking at him. Sasuke's heart plumeted. For the first time Sasuke noticed that the flower pendent around Sakura's neck was a cherry blossom. I could have figured out who she was all along. Sasuke scolded himself for being so stupid. He looked up around and saw a cherry blossom tree nearby. He went over and picked a blossom off the tree. The velvet like petal reminded him of Sakura. When he got back, he placed the flower in Sakura's hair. The pink haired girl didn't even flinch at his touch. Sasuke looked at his watch. It was only 10:30, "Sakura?" he said at last.

"Hm?" she replied, still not taking her eyes off the water.

"Do you want to take a walk with me?"

"No," she answered simply.

"Why not?"

"I just don't want to." Her eyes never left her reflection.

"Ugh!" Sasuke grabbed Sakura's hand and roughly dragged her down the path that led into the woods. Sasuke felt Sakura pulling her hand away but he knew that he was stronger and she wouldn't get away. Sakura stopped struggling and followed Sasuke willingly. When they got to a clearing overcome by moonlight, Sakura yanked her hand out of Sasuke's grasp.

"What was that for?" she cried, in a demanding sort of way.

"What?"

"Uh...you just dragged me into the middle of the forest against my will," she answered sarcastically, "And you messed up the bottom of my dress." But that was under her breath.

"So."

"So, don't you think I would want to know why?"

"Do you?"

"Yeah."

"Because I know you'd follow."

"You still think that I'm a helpless little girl, don't you Sasuke."

"Uh..."

"I knew it. You havn't changed one bit. Well let me tell you, Sasuke Uchiha, I am now stronger, faster, and smarter then ever and you can't keep me down or defeat me!."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. I could beat you, with or without a dress on."

"I think that's a challenge."

"I certainly don't have to justify myself to you!"

"I think that's exactly what you have to do." Sasuke stood in a battle ready stance but Sasuke just raised an eye brow at him and crossed her arms, slightly shaking her head. Sasuke knew in his heart that he didn't want to do this but something else was saying that he had to prove this to himself. He wouldn't be insulted by Sakura, not matter how beautiful she was. Led by his anger, Sasuke darted forward towards Sakura. All the while she was doing handseals and Sasuke was met by a log, "Damn, substitution justu." The raven haired ninja focused his chakara into his hands and punched the ground, "Earthquake justu(I know that this justu is in other fics. Is it even real?)! Sakura, who was hiding in a tree, fell out from the force of the justu. Sasuke saw her on the ground and ran over. He cornered her against and tree and grabbed her arms so she couldn't escape, or could she? Sasuke's grip was beginning to grow tighter as Sakura vanished in a puff of smoke and appeared behind Sasuke. She grabbed one of kunias from his pouch, since he always seems to have them with him, and grabbed him. She puts the kunia to his throat but stoppes.

"Told ya," she hissed. In shock Sasuke just stood there. He had no idea that Sakura could outsmart him this fast, "Just a little trick Kakashi taught me." Sasuke whipped around to face Sakura. She smirked slightly, something Sasuke never thought she would do. She twidled her fingers, did a few handseals and said, "Bye." A log replaced her.

"Shit, another substitutuin justu." Sasuke listened for anything that would give his opponent away. Nothing. He was standing by himself in the middle of a clearing shrouded with moonlight.

Sakura looked at Sasuke from her hiding place in a nearby tree. She knew that he knew that she had won(follow that?). She really was only protecting herself. She seriously thought that Sasuke would hurt her, so she fought back. Effortlessly she threw the kunia at Sasuke but didn't bother to aim. It landed just next to Sasuke's feet. She saw him study the angle and look straight at her hiding spot. She jumped down from the tree, in full moonlight, "I won," she said sadly. Sasuke picked up the kunia at his feet. He aimed it at Sakura but when his oxyn eyes met her emerald ones, he couldn't throw the weapon. Something in her eyes told him to stop. He placed the kunia back in his pouch so he was now defenseless and that's when he noticed that the cherry blossom he had given her by the lake was still in her hair. For was seemed like forever, the two ninjas stood in their spot. Sasuke glanced at him watch, 11:00(Don't ask how fast time flew). They needed to get back to the dance. It was only then that he realized that Sakura's dress was still clean, excpet for the very bottom, which had a hint of dirt on it. Sasuke was suprised for when she was on the ground, she had stayed on the brick path the whole time. Slowly Sasuke walked over to Sakura until he was inches away from her, but she refused to make eye contact with him. Using such gentleness, Sasuke lifted Sakura's chin so she was now looking at him.

To Sakura's suprise, she didn't pull away. Instead she wrapped her arms around Sasuke and cried, "I'm sorry!"

"For what?" asked Sasuke.

"For being so cold to you. I know you didn't mean to be so cold to me before." Tears began to stream down her face.

Sasuke, involentarly, pulled Sakura closer to him. With his hand, he stroked her silky, pink hair. Sakura didn't even flinch as his touch but this time it was in a good way. Once again Sasuke lifted Sakura's chin up but this time, her head stayed there. The Uchiha put that hand behind Sakura's head and pulled her closer to his face all the while he was lowering his own head.Their lips met in a kiss that Sakura had waited for, for so long. Sasuke pulled on Sakura's back, therefore, pulling her even closer. Sakura felt Sasuke's tongue licked the bottom of her lips, asking for permission to enter. Sakura's mind didn't want to let him in but her heart and body felt differently. She, unwillingly, granted access. A few seconds later, she was glad to did. Sasuke's tongue and her's danced together as if at a dance and she seemed to like it. Sakura felt Sasuke's arms tighten even more around her them before. Sakura finally broke the kiss and leaned her head on Sasuke's chest, gasping for air. When she realized how close she was to Sasuke, she blushed and pulled away.

"We should get back to the dance," suggested Sakura.

"Yeah," Sasuke replied, with a slight smile on his face. Sasuke took Sakura's hand in his own and together they walked down the path that led out of the forest.
