Chapter 50 – Sakura's Chapter (Part 8)

It was like a dream. It was a wonderful dream. Sasuke-kun was taking me on a date. I spent at least two hours getting ready that Saturday morning. Ino and Hinata both came over to help me get ready. After trying on sixteen different outfits, I settled on a simple mint sweatshirt (since it was cooling down) and a pair of jeans. Ino braided my hair as Hinata did my make-up. Ino and Hinata both told me to just be myself but how who else would I be?

Sasuke-kun were to go to the carnival but he asked me to meet him in the park so his mother would not know about the date. I knew it was because he didn't want her to get too excited. In fact I only told Ino, Hinata and Naruto about the date. I didn't even tell Kakashi-sensei or Itachi.

I walked to the park with palms sweating and heart pounding. I'd only ever gone a real date with Naruto and that was to get Ramen. I also wasn't in love with Naruto.

"Sasuke-kun!" I waved as I saw him sitting at the bench where he kissed me, twice. I guess I could call it "our" bench. He looked up at me and nodded. I ran over to him.

"Hi, Sasuke-kun," I smiled reaching him.

"Sakura," He said my name.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

"Of course!"

We began walking. I didn't know if I was to hold his hand or arm or not. I didn't want to freak him out. When reached the carnival, Sasuke-kun bought our tickets for which I was very grateful.

"What do you want to ride first?" I asked him. He shrugged then gestured a rollercoaster. It was all very thrilling. We road ride after ride. Whenever I got scared, I clung to Sasuke-kun's strong arm. I was glad he didn't shrug me off. As we took a break from the rides, we got some cotton candy and walked around looking at all the games. There was one booth in the midst of the others that he a constant crowd about it.

"What is that?" I asked and we wedged our way through the crowd. Men were arm wrestling. They were both huge but one was significantly bigger and stronger.

Bam!

The bigger man had won.

"Winner! No one can defeat the mighty Yokozuna!" The announcer declared. We watched as men repeatedly volunteered to try to defeat the arm wrestling champ but all failed. The volunteering began to diminish especially since it was five dollars to try.

"Come on now. Who thinks they can take on the champ?" The man scanned the audience then I saw him settle on Sasuke-kun.

"How about you, sir? You look like you could stand a chance."

"No thanks," Sasuke-kun did not care.

"Come on. Don't you want to show your girlfriend how strong you are?" Was he calling me Sasuke-kun's girlfriend? Ah!

Sasuke-kun shook his head. It made since that he wouldn't risk injuring his arm. It could ruin his whole baseball career.

"Come on. If you win you get all the money in the money jar and I bet she'd give you a nice prize," The man winked. I blushed. What was he implying? Sasuke-kun shook his head and began to walk away.

"Ah, there goes another pansy, ladies and gentlemen. Too afraid to test his strength. Probably too afraid to bang his girlfriend too."

That was it! How dare he insult Sasuke-kun like that! I would show that punk!

"Let me give it a go," I turned around. Everyone stared at me.

"You? But you're a girl," The announcer laughed.

"So?" I handed him five bucks. I went to the table. I looked at Sasuke-kun who looked doubtful like everyone else. I was going to do this for Sasuke-kun and women kind!

"It wouldn't be fair if you challenged him," the man tried to get me not to do it.

"You've insulted my date and my gender. I'm going to beat this guy, get all that money and then I'm going to go watch my exceptionally manly date take me on the Ferris wheel," I stated.

"Okay. Everyone gather around and watch Miss Pinkie take on the champion!" He called for an audience to watch. I stood at the table and looked up at the big man. Yokozuna smirked down at me.

"This will be easy," He popped his knuckles making me cringe with each pop. Had I made a mistake? Oh, I was going to die.

"Get ready," The announcer said. Yokozuna's hand swallowed mine.

"I'm going to show you what a real man is like," He dared to say. How dare he!

"Go!"

Bam!

I opened my eyes. Everyone was silent. I looked around and saw everyone including Sasuke-kun and Yokozuna were in a state of shock. I looked down. I somehow beat the big man. I smiled.

"I won! I won, Sasuke-kun!" I squealed. He smirked and nodded. The announcer could not speak. He needed to shut up. I happily took the jar of money and walked to Sasuke-kun. We left the crowd.

"Where did you get that strength?" Sasuke-kun asked.

"I guess dog walking and working out in the morning and my rage. Look at all this money." I sat on a bench and began counting the money.

"Three hundred! Wow! I'll be saving this," I giggled and put the money into my purse. I then turned to Sasuke-kun who looked very pleased.

"Want to ride the Ferris wheel now?" I asked.

"Sure," He stood up. Once we reached the big wheel, we were almost immediately seated. Round and round we went till the ride stopped and were at the top.

"Wow, we are high," I paled. I was not the biggest fan of heights.

"Are you scared?" He asked.

"Me? Psssh," I tried to play it off. Sasuke-kun knew I was lying. He sighed and then he put his arm around me! I couldn't believe it.

"I'll keep you safe," He whispered.

Ah! I was going to die! I had only ever dreamed of him saying that to me! Sasuke-kun!

"Are you okay? You're really red," He looked at me.

"Yes! I'm fine!" I squeaked out. He looked away from me and down towards the crowds below us. I just stared at him. Oh, Sasuke-kun was everything I ever wanted. I never wanted this date to end.

"Stop staring," He muttered.

"What?"

"You're staring. Stop," He looked at me. I turned away.

"I wasn't staring," I lied.

"Hn," He didn't believe me. The ride began to move again. When we got off, he looked at his watch.

"We should probably head home," He advised. I nodded in agreement. We walked till we ended up in the park. It was so lovely and peaceful in the night. Very romantic as well. Then Sasuke-kun took my hand! It was heaven. His hand was so cool and meshed well my warm ones. I loved it.

"Sakura," I loved how he breathed my name.

"Yes, Sasuke-kun?" I looked up at him.

"I had fun," He merely stated but my heart flipped.

"Me too."

"I'd like to go out with you again."

Two more flips.

"Me too."

"Good."

We walked a bit more till we stopped at our bench.

"I think you should go home before me so there'll be no suspicion," He suggested.

"Okay," I let go of his hand sadly. I had to leave him.

"Sakura," he took my hand. I turned back to him.

"Sasuke-kun?"

He was…blushing. I saw him leaning down towards me. He was going to kiss me! I closed my eyes and puckered up. I waited for the wonderful sensation of his lips on mine.

"Got it," he said.

"Got it?" I opened my eyes I saw he had picked a leaf out of my hair. How embarrassing! I had to run away now.

"Now that the leaf is out of the way," I heard him mutter then he cradled my face. My heart exploded as his lips touched mine. He was kissing me! Oh, Sasuke-kun!

When he pulled away, I tried not to pout. I loved his lips. I wanted them on mine again. He smirked. Did he know what he did to me? Sasuke-kun!

"Good night, Sakura," He let me go.

"Good night, Sasuke-kun," I reluctantly left him. My heart was like a star-shining bright high above the earth. Sasuke-kun took me on a date and kissed me. Everything was coming together.
