First they began sight-seeing, walking around the whole place with the girl staring in awe. As for Sasuke, he was bored to hell but with an impassive look on his face.
He agreed to this willingly and now he doesn't regret it but it doesn't mean he enjoyed it. When at ends of his patience, he would just steal a glance at his companion who kept smiling as if there's no tomorrow, then all of his annoyance would fade.
"Everything here is simply breath-taking, ne Sasuke-kun?" The girl beamed with joy as she asked her silent partner.
"Hn, if you ask me everything is what it should be. What could be 'breath-taking' here?" Not a single emotion was shown on his face while he replied. He agreed that he wouldn't complain, not at all, never, just for her.
"Eh, aren't you enjoying yourself?" Asked the kunoichi, her happiness going down a notch.
"…" Was the answer she got. She stared at him blankly, like he always use to do with her. Any sign of her bubbly-ness disappearing.
What could he say? ' No I most certainly am not enjoying myself so can we get on with it and go on.' Uchiha Sasuke isn't that stupid.
Sakura sighed giving up and continued walking, putting up a small smile compared to the one before. How simply can her emotions get affected by him? Doesn't she know it pained him to know that it was he, himself causing her sadness? Of course, she doesn't, he wouldn't let her know.
"Sakura…let's get through with…" Sasuke paused after that, he was about to nag her out of this. No, he has of control himself. Sasuke doesn't nag other people. He slapped himself mentally for even trying to mention it out loud. He wished badly she never heard him.
"Eh? Nani, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura turned to him upon hearing her name. Sasuke was definitely cursed with bad luck.
'Think fast, think fast, that is what I should do, think, think! I'm a so-called-genius for heaven's sake THINK!' His brain shouted.
"uh…let's get through….with….the……uh-game" Score! He has it all covered!.
"Mm…I wouldn't mind but it is your turn to ask so, ask me anything?" Sakura smiled.
'Anything huh? How about- damn brain, this is what I get for staying too long with that idiotic-perverted sensei' Sasuke scolded himself. 'You're making her wait!'
Sakura has a slight frown shown on her lips. "Um, you don't have to force yourself, Sasuke-kun. We can stop the game if you want to." Sakura offered.
'This game got you this far Uchiha, it made you spend time with her, now enough before you spilled more secrets' Sasuke closed his eyes irritated. He just found out that his mind was thinking something he doesn't want to think and it's just nagging him mad. Hah, Uchiha nagging himself. He tried to stop his train of thoughts but it just won't happen. He gritted his teeth in annoyance and couldn't hold it back anymore.
"Shut the hell up!" As he realized he said that out loud, he snapped his eyes open to see a shocked girl slowly cowering away from him. Not only her but other people from that area.
"No…I didn't mean you, I meant that was for me, uh what I'm saying is…it's just-" Great, now he is explaining himself fom his own stupidity making himself look more stupid. And he was doing this in public
"Look, what would make you happy?" He suddenly asked her now calmed state. She looked at him strangely.
"I want to know…what would make you happy. It's my question…our fourth question." Sasuke looked at her straight in the eyes. Dead Serious, meaning…he meant it. The girl in front of him just smiled at him.
'Girls, really are weird, first they'd go all hyper, the they'd get all depressed, then happy, then sad, scared and then…smiling? I will never understand their kind' Sasuke noted himself.
"I thought you would know already." Sakura told him as she neared him and grabbing his arm, linking it with hers. 'Now they act so bold'
"I do?" Sasuke answered.
"Umhmm, it's simple, it's a boy, and my whole world revolves around him. He's the one who can make me happy and sad at the same time. He is jerky most of the times but I can deal with that. He can be as cold-hearted as he wishes but I'm always here by his side." Sakura said, hinting he would get what she was saying. And luckily he did.
"Hey, are we going to spend the whole day standing here?" Asked Sasuke smirking.
"No, but we still have time before we eat lunch what would you like to do?" Sakura asked him her bubbly self surfacing back. Really simple to change her emotions, yet hard to change her feelings.
"Anything I could, to make you happy" He replied. Sakura knew she has to make sure she never forgets a single detail of this glorious day.
After that, they just walked to the festival looking for something interesting to do in the festival. But that would be quite hard to do, since Sasuke isn't easily amused.
"Oi, teme!" Someone shouted at their back. Sasuke had a scowl look on his face as he decided to turn around with Sakura.
"Oh, hello Naruto" Sakura flashed him a smile that he would die for…if he still had feelings for her.
"Um, o-ohayo Sakura-chan, Sa-Sasuke-san" Stuttered the girl behind Naruto, she isn't so shy around her friends anymore, but she IS stuttering right now from the heavy load she was carrying.
Sakura immediately let go of Sasuke's arm as she went near Naruto all quiet-like. Sasuke glared at the clueless baka as his Sa-…well, no use hiding it anymore, his Sakura neared him.
"Na-ru-to" Sakura said teasingly her head hanging downwards so not a single one could see her expression. She stopped right in front of him inches away.
"Oh, Sakura-chan I didn't know you would return my previous feelings, but I'm already with-" Sasuke was about to give Naruto a beating of his life when Sakura did it for him.
Smack!
"BAKA! How could you let Hinata-chan carry all those…things!" Sakura yelled at the poor helpless boy with a big lump on his head.
"Oh, oh my!" was all Hinata could say, while Sasuke was smirking.
"D-demo, Sakura-chan I won those for Hinata-chan and it all belongs to her so she has the right to carry-" Naruto couldn't finish as Sakura smacked him again.
"O-oh Sakura-chan that isn't necessary, I can hold these, just fine." Hinata covered for him. Sakura didn't buy it, she was piled up with all those stuffed animals how could she possibly be fine. She looks like a toy dumpsite.
"A-actually, i-it was sweet of h-him to win all of these for me, it took him a lot of effort so I appreciate them all greatly" Hinata added to calm Sakura down. Sasuke listened attentively to what Hinata said.
"I didn't say why she has to carry it, I said why you WOULD let her carry it, be a man and help your girl out!" Sakura demanded. Sasuke stood there amused that Sakura controls the man like a dog, threatening.
Naruto stumbled towards Hinata and carried more than half the load she was carrying. Now Hinata's face can be seen rather than before where we can only see her eyes.
"Arigato, Naruto-kun" Hinata thanked him as her cheeks were turning red. Naruto simply grinned in return
"Well see ya' Sakura-chan, teme, I have to get more things for my Hinata-chan!" As Naruto walked to the nearest booth available. He left the red Hinata with Sasuke and Sakura as he took out a few bills and laid it on the counter.
"N-Naruto-kun! It's already enough!" Hinata walked to her boyfriend but before she could take the third step, she faced the remaining two and bowed to them politely before leaving them alone.
Naruto's eyes were burning with fire as he tossed the ring to the other side of the booth. Sakura giggled at the sight of Naruto cursing the ring.
"You can call him a dobe, but he can be sweet especially when it involves Hinata" Sakura told Sasuke in a sweet tone.
Sasuke observed from afar, seeing how the dobe makes such a fool out of himself. Yet…he took a glance at his side, settling his eyes on her. She was smiling contently as she too watch the couple.
'A-actually, i-it was sweet of h-him to win all of these for me, it took him a lot of effort so I appreciate them all greatly'
'You can call him a dobe, but he can be sweet especially when it involves Hinata'
It popped into Sasuke's head. Naruto, is being called sweet not him. Naruto is one step ahead of him! How could have let this happen! He won't just stand around and watch as Naruto MIGHT beat him in other things as well.
"Sakura, if you'll need me I'll be right over there by that booth." He announced to her and tilted his head to the direction.
"Why do you want to try it out?" Sakura felt her anxiety going up. He is slowly ever so slowly yet widely opening to her. She squinted on what would have possibly caught his attention. It's a coin toss booth. Simple, nothing out of the ordinary, except it doesn't have many customers.
Sasuke nodded at her question and headed to it's direction. Sakura followed behind him with a little distance.
He stopped at the counter of the booth. His eyes observing the whole booth. The person in charge of the booth gave him a questioning stare.
"May I help you…sir?" The person asked still confused as to why Sasuke was giving his booth the beady eyes. Sasuke took a couple of change from his pocket and slid them over to the guy.
The guy got the point and gave him three plastic coins.
"Now the objective here sir is to have the coin land on a certain spot on that marked board over there. If it did then you get to win a prize." The guy explained. Sasuke stared at the board for a moment. Studying it carefully. A simple squared board, full of squares written on it as a border. A few cells darken, and that was his targets.
He nodded as he placed the first plastic coin between his thumb and index finger. His stance lowering.
Sakura peeked from the small distance seeing what he was up to. Her eyes went from his face…to his hand…to the coin…then to the air…and then…
Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed. He missed it. Greatly! How! Impossible! The great super nin Sasuke missed his target?
Sakura wanted to go near him and comfort him, saying it's okay. But she didn't even have time as two other coins went flying to the board…both missing the target by a cell.
Sasuke gave a frustrated look and handed more change to the guy, guarding the booth. All efforts of his becoming futile.
Sakura was about to stop his twenty-fifth trial but Sasuke turned to her first.
"Sorry if I made you…wait, I just wanted to try this worthless game." He muttered lower. He IS embarrassed greatly. He can't even score for her. Now he knows the reason why only a few try that booth. IT WAS HARD. To make it worse SHE saw the whole thing.
"It's okay, I wasn't bored at all Sasuke-kun, nice try though." Sakura stayed optimistic at the now scowling Sasuke.
The Uchiha heir stared at the last piece of thing he needed to get rid of before going away. He walked away tossing the cursed plastic coin to the booth without looking, not caring.
He continued to move on, but then Sakura gasped. He stopped and tried to find out what was wrong.
"Sasuke…kun…you did it! It landed right on the spot! Look!" Sakura was jumping with pure happiness. His effort has been rewarded. One of the lucky ones who got the coin landing on the spot on the huge wide board.
"Sir, please claim any prize you like." The guy smiled at him. After awhile…Sasuke headed towards the person waiting for him not far off.
"Here" He pushed something soft in her arms. She was taken back. So all of that effort was for her.
It was a pink teddy! Kawaii…
"F-for me?" Her eyes glistened with tears threatening to fall down. Sakura saw the worried eyes he gave her and she shook her head.
"G-gomen…it's…tears of joy?...um…Arigato!" Sakura flung her arms to him not caring why it was such a small cause for this bold move. She was expecting him to push her away but instead…two words that were so familiar to her escaped his lips.
"You're annoying" Sasuke told her.
"I know" Sakura replied.
