Ring! Ring!
Ring!
" Hello"?
" Sakura"?
" Yes. Who is this"?
" It's Sasuke".
" Oh, hi Sasuke! What is it"?
" I was wondering if you wanted to hang out".
" Really? Um, let me check if it's o.k"!
" Yep! It's o.k.".
" Do you want to come to my house"? said Sasuke.
" Sure!" said Sakura. " I'll be over in 10 minutes".
" O.k". said Sasuke

knock, knock
Sasuke opened the door.
" Hi"! said Sakura.
" Hi". said Sasuke. He let her in.
She looked around. " I've never seen the inside of your house. It's nice". said Sakura.
" Thanks". said Sasuke.
He led her upstairs.They walked into his room.
She was a little nervous going into his room.
She stepped in. The walls were white and plain. His bed was low, and had blue sheets.
" It's nothing much to look at, but it's were I spend most of my time". He said
" I like it". said Sakura. He raised an eyebrow at her. She smiled.
He sat on his bed.
" Do you want to watch T.V"? said Sasuke.
" Sure. O.k". She said while spinning around looking at every inch of his room.
He felt a little nervous.
She plopped on his bed. She picked up the remote, and turned the T.V on.
" Is there something inparticular you would like to watch"? asked Sasuke. He held the remote out to her.
She took it, and channel surfed.
She stopped on channel 17.
They watched the show.
-------
Sasuke cleared his throat. " Do you want something to drink"? said Sasuke
" Yes please". said Saskura. Sasuke got up. Sakura shut off the T.V, and stood up too.
They walked down stairs, and into his kitchen.
Sasuke opened the refridgerator. " Do you like pomagrante juice"? asked Sasuke. " I don't know, I've never had it". said Sakura. " Do you want to try it"? asked Sasuke. " Sure! I love trying new things"! said Sakura. Sasuke took out the pomegrante juice, orange juice, and seltzer.
" What's all that for"? asked Sakura. Sasuke took out two glasses, and placed them on the counter. " Well, pomagrante juice isn't that good by itself. So I figured out that if I add, orange juice, and seltzer, it tastes much better. It may be somewhat of an aquired taste. But it gets better as you go". While he was saying this he poured the liquids together. He handed her a glass. She took a sip.
" Mm. This is pretty good". said Sakura.
They sat down at the table.
" Sasuke. How long do you think Ishimaru-sensei will be here"? asked Sakura. " I don't know". said Sasuke. " I hope she doesn't leave too soon". " You know she has to leave eventually right"?said Sasuke " Yeah. But she's like a friend to me. I don't get to talk to my friends alot any more, so it's nice to have another woman to talk to".said Sakura. " Just make sure youenjoy the time you have. Don't look in the future to much". said Sasuke
Sakura felt bad for Sasuke. His family was taken from him. It can't get harder then that. She wished she could do something. Maybe she could...
Sakura moved next to Sasuke. She gave him a hug and a kiss. " You always have me". said Sakura. Somehow he knew what she was talking about.
-------------------------------------------------------
Sakura cringed.
" Scared"? asked Sasuke. She just looked at him. She turned back to the t.v. Sasuke smiled alittle. He watched Sakura. She had fear written all over her face. " Do you want to stop watching it"? said Sasuke with alittle frown. " No i'm o.k. I like watching scary movies". said Sakura. She gave a smile a reassurance.
" She's crazy". thought Sasuke. He smiled to himself.
-----------------------------
Sakura's POV: " Wow this movie is pretty scary. I hope the hero doesn't die. That would be so sad".
I looked over at Sasuke. " He doesn't even show the littlest hint of being scared. Or any other emotion for that matter. How does he do that"?
" Eep"! I grabbed Sasuke's hand, and squeezed it tight. " I'll never understand why I watch these".
----------------------------------
Sasuke's POV. : " Eep"! Sakura said. "Why does she torture herself like this"?
Then she grabbed my hand. She squeezed it tight. I held onto her hand, then I slid over closer to her. I hate seeing her scared.
--------------------------
15 minuted later the movie ended.
" You o.k"? asked Sasuke as he took the tape out. " Yeah". " I'll walk you home". said Sasuke. He stood up. He walked over to Sakura, put his arm around her shoulder, and walked her to the door. " Thank you". She said. She gave him a long kiss. " Welcome". choked Sasuke. It still made him alittle nervous when she did that.
They walked out into the crisp night air. Sasuke still kept his arm around her. Sakura blushed. But he didn't noticed because it was so dark.
They arrived at Sakura's house. " See you tomorrow at training". said Sakura. " Yeah, see you tomorrow". said Sasuke.
" Do you want to come to my house after practice and have lunch"? asked Sakura. " Yeah". said Sasuke. "Goodnight". said Sakura. She kissed him goodbye on the cheek. " Goodnight". said Sasuke. Sakura went into her house.
Sasuke looked up at the stars, and thought. " Mom what do you think of her? Think she is good for me"? He lowered his head, and continued his walk home.
