Chapter 6

Hey awesome people! I present you the sixth chapter of Drunk In Vegas! Hope you can deal with the changes in the storyline! :P

Have fun!

Even though he wasn't looking at her he knew that the answer was positive.

The pair made their way to the Sabakuno Foundation by means of the taxi. After announcing their arrival at the reception desk, they were let into Gaara's office.

"Mr. Namikaze!" Gaara arose from his chair. "How may I help you? Is there a problem?"

Naruto just shook his head and Gaara motioned him to sit down on the visitor's chair.

"It is just that…uhm…an unpleasant situation…." He gave Sakura a glare to which she just rolled her eyes.

"Occurred… and I think that you should be one of the first to find out…"

Gaara's eyes moved from Sakura to Naruto and back to Sakura.

"And what will that be…?", he asked while looking at Sakura with a raised eyebrow.

Naruto coughed to catch his undiverted attention.

"My…marital status kind of changed…"

Gaara's eyes remained unfazed.

"Oh you mean that? About everybody in the company knows."

Naruto fell out of the chair.

"WHAT? What do you mean?"

Gaara just shrugged.

"Naruto, you were drunk yesterday. Really drunk. We were all present when you two made your vows! After hearing 'You may kiss the bride', you were practically sucking each other's face off."

Now it was Sakura's turn to blush. Her eyes wandered downwards and she felt out of place.

"And…and you just let it happen? Why didn't you at least try to stop me? For goodness' sake Gaara…"

Gaara looked surprised.

"Oh, you didn't actually plan on doing it? You looked pretty confident when you said 'Yes, I do'… sorry. Won't happen next time…"

'There won't be a next time…' Naruto thought grimly.

~line breaker~

Our two lovebirds were sitting in their hotel room and while Sakura was leaning against the headboard of the bed, Naruto was sulking in the corner.

None of them attempted to break the silence.

Sakura didn't know what to say.

And Naruto was just too damn stubborn.

Naruto sighed like he was a poor innocent victim experiencing wrongdoing.

Sakura just rolled her eyes. She seemed to do that a lot lately.

As always Naruto's cell phone decided to break it.

"Shikamaru? Hey…. Not good! It is almost as awkward as dinner with my parents! Yes that bad! Now you understand me! Did you find out anything new? What do you mean? GO ON A DATE? Shikamaru please you can't expect me to- No of course I don't want to make it longer! Shikamaru….Fine! But don't expect too much! Sure you don't. Bye!"

Naruto sighed and his new cell phone had more luck than the previous one. It wasn't smashed against a wall like the other. Naruto just put it into his pocket and turned to Sakura. She looked expectantly with raised eyebrows.

"What did he say?"

Naruto just stared at her coldly.

"Get ready. We are going on a date. Now."

Sakura just blinked. What?

"Can you repeat that?"

Naruto just glared.

"No, I can't repeat that. You heard me perfectly the first time! Now get ready – we don't have all day!"

Sakura's eyebrow twitched.

'Breath in Sakura. Breath out. He is an asshole. You'll get an annulment and this shit never happened. So just play along, 'kay?'

She went to the dresser, took out some clothes and disappeared to the bathroom.

"Damn woman…", Naruto muttered under his breath.

After waiting for fifteen minutes, Sakura came out wearing a short red skirt and a white blouse clinging to her body.

Naruto just eyed her.

"So while packing you just decided to randomly take along clothes that make you look like a whore?" Sakura just gasped, but then a killer intent started to radiate from her.

She walked up to Naruto and let out a deep breath. He just stared at her amused.

"Probl-"

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY YOU UNWORTHY PIECE OF GODFORSAKEN CRAP!?"

Naruto sweatdroped and his eyes widened. Did she just…?

"LET ME TELL YOU! WE WILL GO ON THIS F****** DATE AND YOU WILL ACT LIKE A F****** GENTLEMAN! DID YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"

Naruto just nodded out of fear that he will never be able to have children in the future again.

~line break~

Both of them were walking on the road and none of them really knew what they should talk about. They had never been FORCED to go on a date before. And the knowledge that someone is watching their every move didn't make the situation better.

That was until…

Sakura was looking at the cherry blossoms and thinking how beautiful they actually looked when suddenly her wrist was taken hold of. At first, she assumed it was Naruto, but he would never…?

She turned around to meet deep grey eyes.

The guy smiled at her.

"Hey….my name is Mitik…what is yours beauty?"

Sakura didn't really know how to respond. She was flustered beyond explanation.

"U-Uhm actually I-I…"

He just laughed and she was sure a halo would appear above his head, because it was IMPOSSIBLE for a human to have such an angelic voice!

"No need to be shy sweety – I won't eat you!" He smirked mischievously. Sure he won't.

Sakura blushed and babbled unintelligent words that just came to her mind.

Naruto at first didn't even notice that Sakura wasn't by his side. They weren't walking particular close to begin with. But after walking a while he did notice emptiness beside him. He glanced to his right side and found it empty. Where the hell did Sakura disappear to?

He turned around and saw a blue-haired guy holding the hand of Sakura. He was laughing and she was blushing, but smiling. Naruto noticed that they were rather close. Too close for his liking.

He walked up to them, but at first they didn't seem to notice his presence. He growled darkly and caught Sakura's attention. Her eyes widened and she tried to remove her arm from Mitik's hold.

He noticed her discomfort and looked at Naruto. He was clearly surprised.

Naruto cleared his throat.

"What is going on here?"

The man just blinked and stared. But noticing Naruto's glare he came back to his senses.

"Oh excuse me, my name is Mitik! And you are…?"

"Who do you think you are holding her hand like that?" Naruto was about to explode. Mitik noticed it. Sakura noticed it too. But she couldn't understand why.

Mitik's eyes narrowed and his grasp on Sakura's wrist tightened.

"Well, who are YOU? Her dad or what?"

Naruto just glared even harder (if that was possible) and yanked Mitik's hand away from Sakura's.

"Well, I believe to be her HUSBAND! You seem to have problems with your eyes, because if you wouldn't you'd have noticed the RING on her finger!" With that he brought the attention to the bluish diamond ring on Sakura.

She blushed even a darker shade of red and didn't know where to look.

Mitik looked quite surprised.

"Oh sorry, I did not know that you were married. Sorry for the interruption…"

With that he turned around and walked away. Both of them kept staring at his disappearing back.

That was until Sakura turned to him.

"Why did you just do that?"

Naruto seem to have snapped out of his thoughts and be back to reality.

"What? Oh… I…. don't know. I just reacted I guess…"

Sakura looked at him and turned away.

"Oh…well...let's keep on going then?" She offered.

Naruto nodded and together they made their way to the restaurant Naruto had made a reservation in.

Naruto seemed to be deep in thoughts while walking and Sakura didn't want to interrupt them. But there was just so much silence she could take.

"What is wrong?"

He didn't respond and she was just about to repeat the question, when he suddenly answered.

"What made you smile?"

Sakura stopped in her tracks and stared dumbfounded.

"What?"

Naruto's eyes bored deep into hers.

"I mean…that guy! When you were standing with him…he didn't seem to have made many efforts to make you smile…but you never smile when you are with me."

Sakura just stared. Did he just ask her why she didn't smile in his presence?

"Well?" Naruto looked at her expectantly.

"Uhm…well…I don't really have a reason to smile around you, do I?"

That simple question kind of…hurt Naruto deep inside. And he didn't know why.

His eyes diverted to the ground and he narrowed his eyes to slits.

"Do…I make you sad?" Okay she seriously did NOT expect THAT question.

"Ehh…well you have not been particularly nice to me so…"

"I know…" He began to walk away from her.

She had to run to keep up with him.

"Wait! Why…are you going away? What … is wrong Naruto?"

Naruto just stopped walking again.

He turned to her.

Cold blue eyes into warm green ones.

"You … look really pretty when you smile…"

Sakura was sure she was as red as a tomato by now.

"Uhm…"

"I bet that I can make you smile at least once by the end of this date!"

Sakura stared at him.

His eyes held a certain determination she had never seen before. She wasn't sure they had ever been present.

His blue eyes gained a different shade and she was sure she could see the corner of his mouth move up a little.

What was happening to her boss?

She just breathed out and stared back into his eyes.

"Challenged accepted."

None of them backed down. They just kept staring into each other's eyes.

For the first time Naruto noticed that Sakura had a tint of blue in her green eyes.

Sakura saw little black lines in his normally cold and ice blue eyes.

None of them noticed that they have shifted nearer to the other.

Not until their noses were nearly touching. But even then none of them wanted to back out.

Their eyelids went down a as they leaned in a little. They could already feel the other person's breath on their face, when suddenly-

"THESE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM NOWADAYS! HAVE NO SHAME! SHOWING DISPLAYS OF AFFECTION IN THE PUBLIC! WHAT IS OUR WORLD COMING TO?"

Both of them jumped away, when they heard an old woman ranting a complaint directed to the both of them. Onlookers were staring at them and both of them had to hide the blush that was creeping on their faces.

They turned around and hurried around the next corner so that they wouldn't have to deal with the hidden laughs of the others.

They made their way to the restaurant and Sakura could already see it in the distance.

When suddenly she felt something by her hand.

She looked to her left and saw another hand closing around her own smaller own.

That hand belonged to Naruto.

Her boss.

She stared up to him and saw him looking exactly the opposite direction. She opened her mouth to question his actions, but it was as if he already knew what she was going to ask.

"We are supposed to be on a date, right? So let us act like that…"

She gulped and tightened the hold on her hand. This time it was Naruto's turn to stare at her and when he did he saw her staring back at him.

When both of them noticed the other looking they immediately turned to another direction – Naruto looking up to the sky like there was something interesting to observe there and Sakura staring down, but glancing to her right at the same time.

They finally arrived at the restaurant.
