Ch. 5: The Formal

It was the night of the formal and she had to get home to take a shower. After she took her shower she styles her hair. She up her hair up in tight curls, which were still pretty long, with a couple of black rose pins. She wore the necklace that her mother gave her: a dark and light blue rose with an opal in the middle. She wore the ring her father gave her, which matched her necklace. Her earrings were black roses, to match her hair pins. Then she put on her makeup: Pink eye shadow with black eye liner, ice pink lipstick, and a little blush. Then she put her beautiful blue dress on, refer to Ch. 2, and her strappy heals.

She was walking down the stairs when she heard a knock at the door. She opened it and it was Sasuke.

"Hi Sakura, you look gorgeous. Are you ready to go?"

"Yes, just let me grab my jacket."

When she stepped outside he was for her with the door or his Black Viper open.

She got in and the step off to get to the dance.

When they arrived, all of her friends told her how amazing she looked. Sasuke went to find the guys. When the girls asked her who she was with they were surprised.

"You're here with Sasuke…Our Sasuke?"

"Yeah why?"

"He hasn't gone out with a girl in three years."

"Why?"

"Well, you see, three years ago, somebody murdered his family. When he got home he looked at the wall and it said 'YOU ARE NEXT'. He really freaked out and kinda pushed everyone away until he became friends with Naruto."

"What was the killers name?" Sakura asked in a frightened voice.

"Orochimaru."

"No, no, no. This can't be…how can he…no, I don't understand…how could I meet another person who…"

"Sakura calm down. What's wrong? Who can't you believe you met?"

"Two years ago, my parents were murdered. On my wall, there was writing in blood and it said 'YOU ARE NEXT'. When the police investigated, they said a man named Orochimaru killed my parents. I never knew that he killed another family."

"OMG Sakura. We are so sorry, we never knew what happened. Why didn't you tell us?"

"I wasn't ready to tell anyone. Does Sasuke live alone?"

"Yes, it's just him and his servants."

"How does he provide for himself?"

"He runs the family business."

"What's the family business?"

"He runs that clothes shop called Unleashed. He has this one dress though, that he won't let anyone buy, unless he thinks that they are special or he likes them."

"What dress is that?"

"It's a red and black Japanese style dress that goes down to the knee, has two inch slits up each side, and has black dragons on it."

"Really, cause I bought that dress before he ever knew me."

"He already knew you, he just didn't want to freak you out."

"WHAT! How did he know me?"

"Orochimaru."

"What?"

"When Orochimaru killed your parents, he heard about it."

"Oh, why didn't he tell me?"

"Cause he didn't want to freak you out."

"Right, but…"

"Hey Sakura, would you like to dance?"

Surprised Sakura jumped. "Yeah, I'd love to."

So they danced and then they left the party, but instead of going home, she asked togo to his house. He said okay.
