Chapter 7: Dinner Disaster!
Sakura and Sasuke stepped out of the elevator. "Hey, isn't that Neji?" Sakura asked, pointing to a familiar white-eyed Hyuuga.
"Yeah, it is. I wonder what he's doing down here?" Sasuke said, raising an eyebrow. But before Sakura could answer his question, Neji spotted them.
"Sasuke! Sakura! Over here!" Neji shouted across the lobby. Sasuke and Sakura made their way across the lobby to Neji. "What are you 2 doing down here?" Neji asked, smirking.
"I could ask you the same thing" Sasuke said glaring at Neji.
"Ohh, somebody's a little moody, huh Uchiha!" Neji said, obviously trying to get to Sasuke.
"Come on, Sakura! Let's go…" Sasuke growled, pulling Sakura toward the restaurant's entrance.
Once they were seated, Sakura spoke, "Sasuke-kun, what happened back there? You seemed a little tense.".
"It was nothing" Sasuke growled, then regretted the tone he had just used toward Sakura.
God, I bet she hates me now! Why did I get so protective of her? I mean, it was JUST Neji! He has Tenten, right?
It's because you love her, Sasuke! Don't deny it!
I didn't ask YOU!
But I'M YOU, SASUKE! Haven't we already settled this?
Grr… Not now! Can't you see I'm on a date with Sakura!
So you admit it! You like her, Sasuke!
"OKAY! I DO! I ADMIT IT! NOW WILL YOU PLEASE STAY THE HELL OUT OF MY MIND! GOD, CAN'T A GUY HAVE SOME PRIVACY!" Sasuke shouted, not realizing that he was shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Umm…Sasuke-kun? Are you okay?" Sakura asked, fixing her emerald green eyes on him.
"Huh?" Sasuke said, confused.
"Sasuke-kun…" Sakura said, but was cut off by a familiar voice.
"UCHIHA, GOD, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!" Neji shouted, running into the restaurant, giving Sasuke a deadly glare. "WHY THE HELL WERE YOU SHOUTING AT SAKURA LIKE THAT!".
"Whaddya mean?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow.
Neji got up in Sasuke's face this time. "You know perfectly well what I mean, Uchiha!" Neji hissed, grabbing Sakura's arm. "Come on, Sakura! You're coming with me! Sasuke doesn't deserve a girl like you…" Neji said, attempting to stand Sakura up, but she pulled away.
"Neji Hyuuga, you stay out of this! Sasuke wasn't yelling at me! I don't know who he was yelling at, but I know for a fact it wasn't me!" Sakura said angrily. "Ever since we got here, he's been acting strange. I think it might be the bus ride that got to him, but this is none of your business, so stay out of it!" Sakura explained to him.
"Okay, Okay! Geez! This is the thanks I get for helping a girl out…" Neji complained.
"NEJI HYUUGA! YOU'VE DONE NOTHING BUT RUIN MY DATE WITH SASUKE! NOW WILL YOU PLEASE GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME AND SASUKE!" Sakura screamed at Neji. Tears began to form in her eyes. She jumped up from the table and ran out of the restaurant.
Sasuke glared at Neji. "Look what you did!" Sasuke hissed. He got up, attempting to follow Sakura.
"Where do you think you're going?" Neji asked, blocking Sasuke.
"I'm going after Sakura!" Sasuke said, pushing past Neji.
"Dude, give her space, she needs it now" Neji said, apologetically.
"What do you know about girls?" Sasuke said, stopping to glare at Neji.
"Well, I know Tenten, and when she's mad, give her space and she'll be fine later" Neji replied.
"Sakura's not like Tenten!" Sasuke shouted at Neji, walking off.
Neji grabbed Sasuke's arm. "I can't let you go after her. She may not be exactly like Tenten, but she's still a girl. Trust me, Uchiha, if you go after her now, you're just going to make it worse" Neji said, still gripping on to Sasuke.
Sasuke attempted to twist himself free, and Neji let go of him. "Stay out of this…" Sasuke hissed, walking off.
"Do what you want, but don't say I didn't warn you!" Neji said, watching Sasuke walk off.
Sasuke stopped and sighed. "I guess you're right. I'll be in my room" Sasuke said without even looking back at Neji. Then Sasuke continued up to his room, not stopping once on the way.
Why did I listen to Hyuuga? It's been 3 hours, and I haven't heard from Sakura! God, I'm such and idiot. Neji was right, I don't deserve Sakura…
Stop it, you did the right thing. When she see's you here, worried and waiting, she'll fall in love with you all over again!
Sasuke sighed. I hope so…
Sasuke heard what sounded like a key being slid into the lock. -Click- Sasuke looked up. Sakura. The doorknob turned, and the door slowly opened.
"Sasuke-kun…" said a familiar pink-haired girl.
Sasuke looked up. "Sakura…"
Tbc…
