Hint of Trouble
She opened her eyes and quickly shut them again. Sakura did this for about five times before her head start to hurt. Opening her eyes again, she decided once again that it wasn't a dream. Climbing out of bed, she dragged herself lazily to the glass door that led to the garden. It was a beautiful day. The clouds seemed to dance about the bright blue sky, while the sun threw its golden rays about the land.
Sakura quickly changed and went down to the kitchen. Stepping into the kitchen, she stopped for a few seconds when she spotted Sasuke reading a newspaper at the table. His eyes looked up briefly. She quietly said good morning to everyone. Sitting down, she took a deep breath.
"Ano…Sasuke-sama, thank you very much for all the kindness you've shown me," Sakura began uneasily. "I don't know how I'll ever repay you. However, I should be going home today. I feel much better." She smiled as kind of a way to reinforce what she said.
He simply stared at her. His expression unwavering. He wore a dark navy blue suit, which brought out his handsome and tall frame. He didn't say a word. Sakura laughed nervously as she was painfully aware of his handsome presence in the bright morning light. Omg I have got to get out of here…I don't even know what I'm thinking anymore…I mean like it's Sasuke bastard….oi….
"Very well," Sasuke replied simply without even looking up at her again.
"Thank you for everything," Sakura said with a slight bow.
The maids started waving and gesturing wildly behind him with their hands trying to tell her to stay. Sakura smiled shyly and shook her head. Sakura stood up to go gather her things from her room.
"Eh, Sakura-san," one of the maids called. "Aren't you at least going to eat some breakfast first?"
"No. Thank you, but I don't have time," Sakura explained. "Ano, Kano-sama called this morning. I have to meet him at the Tokyo Saku Mall. Something about an urgent issue…ano, I didn't hear much. He was talking so fast. I only caught a few words…ball dance…shopping…dress? Now why would he want a dress, I wonder?" Sakura pondered over this as she made her way to her room.
Sasuke's eyes snapped up suddenly. He knew what Kano was going to do. So did the maids. That bastard was going to take her shopping for a dress to the ball.
Sakura, standing outside the entrance to the mall, looked around. Still no sight of Kano. There was a breeze and it lifted her hair gently. She readjusted her silk scarf and walked around a bit. There was this one guy who came up to her offering to take her home. His home. Sakura had politely declined while clutching her cell phone. While she didn't have to call the cops because it wasn't serious, she wondered who she would have called. In the end, she decided she needed a dog to protect her and not err...anyone.
She stood watching the big entrance of the seven-floor mall as if it were of great interest. All around her, the cars whizzing past, the footsteps of people, and the regular city noises mixed together to be just one irregular hum. She jumped when someone suddenly spoke behind her. Sakura turned around. Kano stood in front of her smiling handsomely.
"Ano, o-ohayoo, Kano-kun…" Sakura managed.
"Oyahoo," Kano chuckled. "Did I startle you?"
Sakura, laughing nervously, said, "Of course not…I was just…enjoying the view..."
"Yes, I can see," winked Kano. "That door is fascinating."
Sakura blushed fiercely. She laughed shyly and didn't know what to say.
"Now shall we?" asked Kano, extending his arm to her.
Sakura stared at his arm clueless. "Eh?"
Kano laughed. "You didn't think we were going to have a business meeting at the mall, did you?"
Sakura tried to laugh as his intentions dawned on her. "Oh…hahaha…so…we're going dress shopping…for me, huh?"
"Of course." Kano said with a sly smile on his lips.
Sakura laughed nervously. She was aware of a group of snobby girls checking Kano out and giving her envious/death glares. Not wanting to attract any more attention, she declined the offer of his arm. She could hear their chatter.
"Check out the handsome devil…"
"His smile makes me weak all over."
"Just his smile? Dammit, he's a fine piece of-!" (Sakura was glad she got interrupted. She didn't want to hear it!)
"He's obviously rich…look at him."
"He has a really cute butt." They giggled.
"Watch me."
Sakura realized that one of the young women had decided to try to catch his attention. She was tall. At least a few good inches taller than her. A rich head of blonde curls came down a little past her shoulder. Her green eyes were sharp and sly-looking. Her lips were carefully painted red. She was certainly beautiful and had a figure to go with it.
She walked into him. Dropping her purse with an 'oops,' she feigned an innocent look. Shooting Kano a seductive pout, she bent to pick up her purse. Kano beat her to it and picked it up for her. All her friends in the group watched intently.
"I'm very sorry," Kano smiled as he handed her purse to her. Sakura noted how the girl touched his hand when she received it. She smiled sweetly at him through her long lashes.
"Yumiko Ono," the girl said, extending her hand.
"Kano Fujiwara," Kano said, with one of his smiles. "And this is Sakura Haruno."
Sakura, surprised, bowed and greeted her politely. She could see that Yumiko was displeased that he had introduced her as well…as if she were important to him. Quickly hiding her disappointment, Yumiko tried to charm him with her calculated laughs and conversation. Kano did seem charmed by her, which irritated Sakura a bit.
They all started to walk together. Yumiko smiled when he spoke and threw her head back in seductive giggles when he told jokes. After a while, she even took to holding onto his arm.
When Sakura had had enough, she stopped suddenly. They had walked quite a few feet before they noticed.
"Sakura-chan, doushite no?" he asked innocently.
"Kano-kun, I just remembered that I'm very busy. You may enjoy Yumiko-san's company here, but I'm sorry to say I need to go." Sakura said everything with a strange calm and even showed Yumiko that she too knew how to say everything sweetly seductive. "Oh, and, Sasuke bought a dress for me already."
That threw Kano off. Sakura saw that his handsome smile faltered just a bit. Turning on her heel, she threw her silky pink hair back and walked towards the elevator. Stepping into the elevator and turning around, she saw that Yumiko had already succeeded in pulling him toward a store, or in other words, away from her, but she did catch the slight glance back from Kano.
don't worryyy hehe. sakura won't end up with kanooo. maybe. hehehe. but definitely keep an eye on that girl! she seems evil, ne? o and don't worryyy, sasuke will show up. byebyes, see you next time! x chu x hehe XD
