Hearts of Steel
Chapter 4: Toothache
Two weeks later
"AAAHHHHHHHHHH, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. IT HURTS SOOOOOOOO BAD!" cried Sakura.
"Calm down, Sakura. Crying and wailing won't help." Takashi said.
"AAAAAHHHHHH, ONII-SAN, DO SOMETHING! IT'S HURTING ME SO BADLY!"
"Then we have no choice but to bring you to a dentist."
"WHAT! But I hate going to the dentist. Couldn't I just drink some pain-killer pill and hope it will go away?" Sakura asked for like the hundredth time.
"We already tried that and it didn't work. And besides it's your fault for eating too much candy!"
"But I couldn't help it, it taste so good."
"Well then, you just have to endure the pain."
"BUT I CAN'T! THE TOOTH IS KILLING ME TO DEATH!"
"Then the only way for the pain to go away is by going to the dentist."
"NO! I DON'T WANT TO!"
"You have no choice but to GO. Now hurry up and change, I'll drive you there or else you have to walk there on your own."
-Started to weep- "Wah, Onii-san you are so mean!" She wailed.
"Hurry up and let's go!"
10 minutes later in the car
"So, which dentist are we going to?" Sakura asked her brother, but then Takashi smiled inwardly to himself before answering.
"The Uchiha's." said Takashi plainly, but then it shocked Sakura more then anything.
"WHAT!"

At Hinata apartment
Hinata is sitting in her coach reading a book, since it is Sunday and there's no school today. She already finished her homework so she doesn't need to worry about that. Although Hinata lives by herself in her own apartment; she still lives near her family, so she doesn't worry about not having enough food or something.
After reading a couple of chapters in the book, Hinata gave a sigh. Today was Sunday, but her friends didn't make any plans to hang out or something. So now she is stuck here, in her apartment; reading a book, and thinking about what to do. Her thoughts were going nowhere and so she decided to take a short nap.
Hinata dream
Hinata is at the beach, but no one else was there. (Of course it is a dream afterall, strange things always happens in a dream) Hinata didn't care much who was there; she's just going to enjoy her time there at the beach.
When she felt like she had enough sun-tanning, she got up and went to the changing room. Then when she got out, she was wearing a short cream pant, a white t-shirt with sandal, sunglasses, a hat, and a bag on her right shoulder which has a couple of books in it.
She sat in a hut where she can have some shade. Hinata then began to read one of her books.
Suddenly a figure appeared behind Hinata, without her noticing it. He has a knife in his right hand, but you can't tell who he is because he covered his face with a black mask. With one hand he held the knife close to her throat and the other hand pulled her back into the seat.
"Sit still or else you'll die." he roared out.
"What do you want?" asked the panicked Hinata.
"What I want is something you can't give me" he answered.
"W-Why not? What is it?" he then held the blade closer to her throat. Hinata was shivering in fear.
"Ahhh! Stop, I'll give you anything. Is it money that you want? She asked.
"No." he said.
"Gold bracelet?"
"No."
"Diamond earring?"
"No."
"My bank account number? It has more money in it."
"No"
"Gold necklace?"
"No."
"Diamond ring?"
"No."
"Silver wrist watch?"
"No."
"Then what do you want?" Hinata was running out of items to tell him.
"I want you to go out on a date with Naruto." he said.
"What! I can't do that."
"Why not?"
"Because I made a vow."
"What vow?"
"I made a vow that I would never go on a date."
"Well that's a stupid vow."
"…" Hinata stay silent.
"Do it or else!" he hissed
"Or else what?" Hinata began to turn around but then the mask man pushed her back, and threatened her with the knife again.
"Or else I'll kill you" he said.
"Wait. No. Don't. I can't die yet. I don't want to die yet."
"Then do as I said and go out with Naruto."
"I can't!"
"Why not? What's wrong with him?"
"Nothing wrong with him. It's just….I can't…why are you asking me this?"
"Because he said he loves you."
"W-What…"
"Do you hate him?"
"No."
"Then why don't you go out with him?"
"I told you already! I made a vow!"
"Bullshit! Don't make excuses."
"I'm not! It's true."
"Then do you love him?"
"No."
"Well then you don't mind if I kill him then."
"What! Why?"
"Because you don't love him."
"I know I don't, but why do you have to kill him?"
"He told me to kill him."
"Huh?" Hinata was now confused.
"Before I came here, he told me to kill him but not before asking me to ask you if you love him or not. And he says if you don't then he wants me to kill him."
"What kind of stupid idea is that?"
"I don't know. But he told me that if he lives on without your love then he rather die."
"W-What… I can't believe he said that." Hinata lowered her head because she felt guilty.
"So will you go out with him then?"
"No, I can't."
"Well then, there's only one thing left to do."
"What's that?"
"Go kill Naruto."
"No, you can't!"
"And why not?"
"Because I won't let you kill him!"
"What business of yours if he lives or not. You said you don't love him, so why care for him."
"I said I don't love him but that doesn't mean that I don't care about him."
"So you're saying you care for him?"
"Yes."
"As in a boyfriend/girlfriend kind of way?"
"Well, not exactly."
"Then what is it?"
"I don't like yet. But I do know this. I like him more than a friend."
"So then you like him-like him?" the masked man asked.
"I'm not sure. I guess you're right."
"Well then, that's good enough."
"What are you talking about?" Hinata asked.
"Liking him is better than hating him I guess." he said.
"What are you talking about? I don't get it."
"Are you sure you like him more than a friend?"
"Ummm…yea…why?"
"Because I want you to tell him right in front of his face right now."
"How can I? He's not here."
"Yes he is. He's right here."
"Huh?"
"Turn around." He said. As Hinata turned around, the masked man pulled off his mask and it revealed his face.
"N-N-Naru…to…" then she fainted into his arms.
End of dream
"N-N-NARUTO!" Hinata then woke up from the dream, and she was panting.
"That was a dream? It seems so real." She thought.
"I can't believe I dreamt about him." Hinata blushed at the thought of having a dream about Naruto.
"I wonder do I really like him more than a friend." She thought, and then she looked down at her book and smiled because she saw Naruto face on her book.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Uchiha's dentist place
"Hello in there. We have a patient here." Takashi yelled.
"Coming…" came a voice from inside of one of the rooms. Then a man stepped out and it revealed a black-haired man in his 20's wearing a dentist white coat.
"Aa, Taka-san welcome, what can I do for you?" said Itachi.
"Not me, my sister."
"Aa, Sakura-san, nice to meet you again."
"Nice to meet you too." she said.
"So what's the problem?"
"Sakura have a toothache and she needs to pull it out." said Takashi.
"No I don't. It only hurts a little bit." Sakura said.
"That's not what you said at home." Takashi said.
"Well, it got better now. Now let's go home." Sakura said.
"Hold on a second there princess. I didn't drive you all the way here for nothing you know." Takashi said, and then continued. "Itachi-san is an excellent dentist. He'll help you fix your tooth."
"That's right. Now let me see your tooth." Itachi said. And motion Sakura to open her mouth.
"Ok." Itachi then took a look at her tooth.
"Aa, I see the problem now. That's a wisdom tooth you got there. And from the looks of it, you been eating a lot of candy haven't you?"
She nodded.
"How long is it going to take Itach-san?" Takashi asked.
"About a couple of hours." answered Itachi.
"Well then I can't stay here that long. I have to go to work."
"That's ok; I can take her home afterward."
"Really? Ok, thanks for your help. Now, Sakura I want you to behave yourself and let Itach-san do what he needs to do, ok?" Takashi said to his sister.
"Ok."
"Bye Sakura."
"Bye Onii-san."
"Bye Taka-san." Itachi said.
"Bye Itachi-san." Takashi said. Then he left. Itachi turned to Sakura and told her to go take a seat at the chair and wait for him. After a few minutes, Itachi came in and all prepare to do what he needed to do.
"Don't' worry Sakura; I will try my best not to hurt you too much." He said.
"Ok."
"Now let's put some sleeping gas on so that it won't hurt that much."
"Ok."
"Let's begin." He said.
30 minutes later (A/N: I don't know exactly how much minutes or hours does it takes to pull a tooth out so I just guessed. Sorry if it's not accurate)
"Ok, I'm done. You can wash your mouth now, Sakura."
"Ok."
Ring

"Sorry, excuse me." he said, then went outside the room. From the inside Sakura could hear him talk on his phone.
"Hello?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Ok."
"Yes."
"Ok."
"Ok! Yes of course." Then Itachi walked back inside the room.
"I'm sorry Sakura, but I have some business I have to take care of first. Just in case I can't drive you home, I'll call Sasuke."
"What!" Sakura shrieked after she spit out water.
Itachi goes outside the room again and dial some numbers.
"Hello? Sasuke, can you come here? I need you to drive someone home."
"What do you mean you're busy?" Itachi yelled, while Sakura was in the room with a blank face because she doesn't know what to do.
"Just come here ok?"
"Stop making excuses! You only have to drive a friend home anyway."
"Huh? Who you ask? It's Sakura. You know her right?"
"Huh? What's that? You'll come? That's good to hear. Come here as soon as possible, I have to go somewhere." Itachi walked back inside the room again and smile at Sakura.
"Sasuke said he'll come in just a bit. So you just relax yourself and wait until the sleepiness wears off, ok?"
"Ok."
"Ok, I have to go now, so bye Sakura"
"Bye, Itachi-san. And thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
Sakura just sat there on the chair. Then she got bored and went outside. A few minutes later Sakura could hear the door open and looked up and saw Sasuke standing next to the door.
"Hey, Sakura. I heard you need a ride home right?"
"Yeah, but my mouth still sore and I'm still sleepy from the sleeping gas."
"Well, then we're just wait for it to wear off a little."
"Ok."
"…"
"…"
There was a long awkward pause between them.
"Ummm, why aren't you saying anything." Sakura asked.
"I have nothing to talk about. And you?"
"Me neither."
"…"
"…"
"ARRGG, this silence is killing me. Say something Sakura! Anything! Dammit!" Sakura thought.
"Umm…Sasuke…?"
"Yeah?"
"So…umm…are you going to the fall dance?" Sakura mentally slapped herself on the forehead for asking such a stupid question. "What am I thinking? Of course he'll say no. He isn't the type who goes to dances and party." Sakura thought.
Sasuke kept silent for a while, and it made Sakura thinks that was a no, and so she tried to change the topic when Sasuke spoke up.
"Maybe."
"Huh? W-w-wha…" "What the hell! Did I just hear him correctly? Did he just say "maybe"? And why am I asking myself so many questions that I can't answer?" Sakura thought, but then she decided to asked again.
"What did you just say?" She asked again.
"I said maybe."
"That's what I thought you said."
"Why is there something wrong with her hearing?" he smirked at her.
"N-No! Of course not. It's just that I never thought Uchiha Sasuke would even considering to go to a school dance."
"Yeah well, if everything goes well I might even go to the dance with her." he said without thinking.
"What?" she said. "Shoot! Now Sakura is going to ask a bunch of questions and I don't know how to answer her. Oh well, I guess this is as good as a time as any." Sasuke thought.
"You really have a bad hearing today, Sakura. I said I might go to the dance with a girl."
"Really? A girl? Who is she?"
"That's high confidential." He said.
"Aww, come on Sasuke. You told me that much already might as well tell me the rest." She said.
"Tell you what; I'll answer any of your questions when we get something to eat first. I'm starving."
"Ok!-" Sakura said, but then was cut off by Sasuke.
"But!"
"Huh…but what?"
"But you can only ask yes or no questions."
"Awww, that not fair!" Sakura pouted, but Sasuke just laughed it off.
"Come on now. Hurry and let's go. I'm really hungry." Sasuke said.
"Stop trying to change the subject! And besides my mouth is still numb, I can't eat yet." She said.
"Like I care." He said while opening the door and walked out.
"Humph, Sasuke you're so mean!" Sakura shouted at Sasuke, but again he just laughed and shrugged it off.
Sorry for the late update. I promise to update every week but then I got lazy and I started another fanfic, so yeah…I'm sorry again.
So was that enough SasuSaku moments for you (insert your answer here) but then... again maybe not. (Plugging my ears with a cotton ball from all the screaming and yelling)
I have other pairings that I have to write as well, so I can't just focus on SasuSaku only. Sorry, I wish I can write more about them too, but I have to write about others pairing as well. And again, I'm sorry.
Well, I guess now you can figure out who's going to be the first one to break the vow eh?
