Forgetting your fears

by mse123

"Everybody! Everybody! Say KONOHA!" Lots of hands wave frantically in the adrenaline of the win. Koonoha Highschool's basketballers have managed to steal another trophy.

"Yo, Teme! Good game!" Naruto, a spiky blonde haired guy with blue eyes, high-fives his best friend (/rival).

"Tch. Dobe." smirks Sasuke, a tall handsome boy with black hair that matches his hypnotizing eyes.

"Oy, guys! Congratulations!" screams happily Ino, the best cheerleader from their high school, her luscious blonde hair pinned in a ponytail.

"Y-you guys played amazing." states Hinata, a short girl with long black hair with hints of purple, not looking at the boys, too embarrassed to make eye contact with her crush, Naruto.

"HINATAAAA! I'm so happy to see you, ttebayo!" The goofy blonde hugs the girl who faints in his arms at his gentle touch. "Hinata! HINATAAA!"

"Naruto!" A fist punches him on his head. "Let her breath, idiot! Geez!"

"You didn't have to hit me, Sakura-chan!"

The said girl sighs defeated, her pink hair like the fragile flowers of the cherry blossoms moving lightly at her shake of head. If only she knows that she is being watched, a pair of eyes roaming her partially covered petite body. As she lifts her head, she catches the person's eyes and red covers her puffy cheeks. Her hands start to sweat at the idea of him watching her and she can bet that everybody can hear her heartbeats.

"-kura! Sakura!'

"Oh!"

"Have you wake up from your beautiful dreams of we know who?" teases her Ino, her eyebrow arching.

"I-ino! I was not…"

"Girls, are you ready?" questions Sai, the blonde's cheerleader boyfriend.

"Sai-kun! We are almost ready!" her eyes transform into hearts at the sight of her lover and she winks playfully.

"Let's go, Forehead!"

"Remember that time when Teme tripped on the stairs? That fall was epic! Hahaha!"

"Tch, usurantokachi."

"What did you say bastard?"

"Guys, just stop it. You are destroying the zen right now!" adds Ino annoyed, her eye twitching.

"As much you would like to feel zen, Pig, in this noisy place it's impossible." Hinata giggles at the pink haired's statement.

They are now sitting in a Chinese restaurant, waiting (im)patiently for their orders. Sakura takes a gulp from her can of apple juice when, unexpectedly, she feels a knee hitting tenderly her right leg. She startles and her eyes widen, a blush forming on her porcelain face.

"Um…I need to go to the bathroom. I'll be back soon!"

She leaves the happy table and enters the silent chamber, her reflection following her. She splashes refreshing water on her red face and breathes in deeply, moving her hands along with her respiration, like a conductor guiding the musicians.

"Ok, calm down, Sakura…Calm down." The feeling of his clothed leg makes her unsteady.

"Oh, God, what I'm going to do with…"

"With what?" a baritonal voice interrupts her monologue and she recognizes the person who is too timid to confront right now, but something catches her attention.

"S-sasuke-kun, what are you doing in the lady's bathroom? What if somebody enters?"

"I locked the door." He comes closer and closer to her until his chest hits hers. His hand plays with a strand of her vanilla-scented hair. His eyes are a mix of lust, uncertainty and hope. She gasps in amazement and she lets the adrenaline and her instinct to take control of her body.

She kisses him.

A/N: Sorry if this is kind of (really) short and rushed. Thank you for your reviews and I hope that you liked this chapter!
