CHAPTER 4: Seven Minutes in Heaven
"All you have to do is to persuade him to come, then we'll handle the rest." Ino said in a-matter-of-fact tone, but seeing her best friend's reaction, she continued. "Look, that one should be easy for you! You don't call yourself his girlfriend for nothing."
Fifteen minutes later, Ino's words are still reverberating in her head. What the heck! Is she really thinking that it would be easy? Hell no! There's no way I could drag him into Tenten's party. Could life be harsher for me? First, I have to spend my beloved Saturday in school preparing for this damn sports festival!
It's you who volunteered for it.
But those stupid guys are pushing me to the limits!Then kick them! Come on I'll help you.
And then my best friend's asking me to do the hardest task in this world!You're exaggerating! How could that be hard? Ino's right, you're a loser…mind taking your place?
Arggh! Could this day get any worse!"What do you think you're doing?" Sasuke asked the startled Sakura, who never realized she's encircling the entire room stupidly until her insensitive boyfriend came in.
"Nothing." She replied with a smile.
"Girls are really weird." Sasuke commented.
Sakura frowned. "Here we go again with his "girl's are so weird" comments, when we'll he ever notice that his 'girlfriend' is also a GIRL!"
"Then tell him!"
"Shut up!"
"Hey! Why are you still standing there, don't you want to go home?" Sasuke asked.
"Ne, Sasuke-kun…I-I just want to ask something?"
"What?"
"No?"
"Ne, Why not?"
"My answer is no, if you want to go then go…but I'm not coming."
"But Sasuke-kun! Your friends are coming too…it would really be great." Sakura said, using all her might to convince him.
"The more I won't come."
"But Tenten wants us to come."
"Go by yourself." Sasuke said flatly.
"There's no way I'm going alone!"
"Then don't go."
"Please Sasuke-kun." Sakura leaned closer to her boyfriend pleading with her puppy eyes. Sasuke backed a little; they were so close that he could almost hear her heart beating. Just a few centimeters away and he could kiss her. Yeah right KISS her.
"This is perfect! I'll just have to lean closer and that stupid dare would end." Sasuke thought, still thinking about the dare that his brother gave him
"This is prefect! I'll just have to lean closer and I don't have to convince him to go to Tenten's. This is what Ino wants after all." Sakura told herself, thinking of her conversation with her best friend earlier.
And thus Sasuke slowly leaned closer. Sakura slowly closed her eyes…and…
And the door suddenly burst open! Speaking of perfect timing.
It was Lee, oblivious of what he had interrupted. He looked at the blushing Sakura and the pissed off Sasuke who immediately backed off in an instant. "I-I just forgot something." He stuttered. He got his things and instantaneously ran out of the classroom before Sasuke could have the chance to struggle him.
Sasuke looked at Sakura, annoyance could still be seen on his face. Sakura smiled at him, in a sarcastic way. She let out a deep sigh. "Fine Uchiha Sasuke, if you don't want to come with me then I'll ask somebody else." Sasuke's eye grew wide, but Sakura isn't finish to want she has to say. "Perhaps Lee would love to accompany me." With that she left her stunned boyfriend.
Five more days…He knew he had firmly rejected her request. He had given her a steadfast negative answer. So, what is he doing in this place?
Sasuke sit beside Sakura, he looked anything but pleased. He hated going there; he's annoyed by the sound of their voices, annoyed by their comments, annoyed by how his girlfriend had manipulated him of coming, annoyed by the stupid game their playing…-for short pissed off of everything happening around him. Just like Uchiha Sasuke.
"Hey Sasuke-teme! It's your turn." Naruto said.
Sasuke stand up, but not really to take his turn. "I'm not participating in this stupid game dobe."
"Yes you are Sasuke." With this he shove Sasuke and Sakura into the closet.
"Well that's it! All we've got to do is wait." Ino declared with a satisfied voice.
"Are you sure this game would end it?" Tenten asked her, still not convinced based on the facts that she knew about those two.
"Absolutely! This is what this game is all about."
Ten minutes later:
"All right you two come out!" Ino said enthusiastically as she opened the closet. She had expected to see different things there, but this one is not on her list.
Sasuke and Sakura were sitting the farthest from each other, both of them looking away from each other. Upon seeing the closet open, Sakura muttered something that sounds like finally and immediately went out to breathe fresh air. Sasuke on the other hand glared at Ino and declared that he's going home.
"What happened Sakura?" Tenten asked as she approached the sulking Sakura who's in the verge of crying.
"I don't get it! What did I do to deserve the densest, most insensitive boyfriend in the world!" she cried.
Closet, Ten Minute's earlier:
"This is stupid!" Sasuke declared, after Naruto and the others forcefully pushed them inside. "I told you going here with those bunch of idiots (referring to the guys…especially Naruto) isn't a good idea."
Sakura sat there quietly if she also knew that they would be stuck in here she wouldn't agree herself. Great! Does her best friend forgot that she's claustrophobic, achluophobic and on top of that arachnophobic. So how on earth this game she called 'Seven Minutes in Heaven', which includes a dark and confined closet, help her with Sasuke? It's like experiencing a hundreds of years in hell, with an ever-so-complaining boyfriend and that disgusting spider on the corner…what? Spiders? On the corner?
Sakura screamed, but the people outside seem not to hear her (probably because of their very loud noise), and plunged into her boyfriend.
"What the!" Sasuke shouted in surprise. "What's the matter with you? It seems that you have seen a ghost."
"Spiders…" Sakura squealed, moving closer to Sasuke.
Sasuke grinned, trying hard not to laugh. "Hey, it's just a spider it won't kill you. Will you please move a little, you're choking me."
"Gomen." Sakura apologized then removed her arms from Sasuke, but still sat very close to me. "I can't help it. It's dark in here, it's so small and there's a spider over there."
Sasuke can't control his self anymore, he laughed at his girlfriend, amused by what she had said. "First your afraid of ghost, then of spiders, then of darkness and of closed spaces, tell me…how did you manage to live your life with so much fears?" he laughed again at the fuming Sakura.
"Well I'm very sorry Mr. Uchiha Sasuke, if I'm so weak that I'm scared of almost everything. Damn! Why did I think someone as brave and as dense like you would ever understand!" Sakura glowered at him and moved the farthest she could get away from him.
"Damn you Sasuke, you really angered her this time!" Sasuke thought, while looking at his very furious girlfriend.
Sasuke's Room, 12 midnight
Sasuke laid on his bed as soon as he got home, but he can hardly close his eyes. He's really guilty of making Sakura that furious, that she won't talk to him, and being too conceited to swallow his pride and at least say that he's sorry.
As he pondered on the things that had occurred on Tenten's house, especially that closet incident, he can't help but curse his self. He had done it again! How could he ever let the chance of finishing Itachi's stupid dare at that moment slip from him? It could have been much easier to steal a kiss from her, when he's at the closest proximity with her and nobody would have a chance to bother them, but he wasted it. "Damn! Everything really sucks." He shouted in frustration.
And the chance to steal a kiss from Haruno Sakure burst like bubbles…four more days left.
Author's Note: ummm…again sorry for so many things…

I never thought I could finish a story) but I still need some time to mull things over…ideas are greatly appreciated, especially the ideas on the ATTEMPTS…I think Sasuke's attempts are really boring so I'm thinking of something great for the next two chapter (I already have an idea for the last one!) anyways thanks again and please review!
originally seven minutes in heaven lasts only for seven minutes (duh?) but in this chapter...ummm...Ino and the others made it ten minutes for Sasuke and Sakura...just to make fun of them and making sure that their plan will work (unfortunately it didn't!)...I just kindda forgot to insert thisexplanation in the story...so I'm really sorry!
