Chapter 7

Let the games begin!

Poker

Sasuke had just got his hand and it seemed pretty decent. I hope I can win with this hand, Sasuke thought.

Yay! My hand has many good cards! I'm sure I'll win! Tsuki smiled to herself.

What! How did I get stuck with all the loser cards! None of these cards match! Sakura sighed then said, I fold.

Well then I guess I win, Sasuke said with a smile revealing a jack, queen, king, ace, two in hearts.

Not so fast ni-san! Tsuki smiled proudly showing her hand of a royal flush.

Aw man! Sakura said admitting defeat. You win again! After Tsuki had won the last ten games.

No Way! We're playing another one! Sasuke yelled getting really upset that he lost. Uchiha tend to be stubborn and hate to lose.

But I'm getting tired and its almost 10, Tsuki said yawning and wiping her eyes.

Okay now, off to bed you go. Sakura said like a mother figure.

No Way! I still haven't won my game yet! Sasuke said with great agitation.

Sakura sighed and dragged Sasuke off to bed.

It's getting late and you should sleep too. I think your tiredness is affecting your brain. Sakura said. She went over to his futon and tucked him in.

You know I'm not a kid right? Sasuke thought but then decided not to say it out loud since he kinda enjoyed it. She had some sort of resemblance to his mom. When she was alive, she used to always tuck him in and sing a lullaby when he couldn't sleep.

When Sakura was done with Sasuke she went over to Tsuki. She tucked her in and kissed her forehead.

Sweet dreams Maki-chan. Sakura said with a smile and went to her room.

After a few seconds she left and shut the door Tsuki spoke up.

I wish we didn't have to lie to ane-chan. She is so nice to us and I kinda feel bad lying to her. After Tsuki said that she fell into a deep slumber.

Sasuke couldn't sleep pondering his thoughts on the day. So, Sakura and Naruto still want to find me despite what I told them. They go through all this trouble just for me. But I'm not worth it despite what they say.

Flashback

You were the first bond I ever had. Naruto said with all his heart during the battle the held at the Valley of the End.

Another Flashback

He will and forever be to this very day, my first love. Sakura said.

End of Both Flashbacks

Sasuke kept on tossing and turning in his sleep thinking about those words and then finally decided to take a walk. He was careful not to wake Tsuki who was deep into her sleep.

As he was walking he saw someone sitting on a bench on the road that just so happened to be the one leading away from the village. (Nostalgic isn't it?)

He saw Sakura quietly singing to her self while crying. Sasuke stood frozen on the spot to see Sakura singing in the moonlight. She was beautiful. Her green eyes were glistening as she voice sang the words of an angel. Her pink hair swaying in the wind. The song was so sad yet so beautiful. It was exactly the one his mom used to sing to him. The song immediately stopped when Sakura noticed that Sasuke was there. Sasuke then snapped back to reality when he noticed the lullaby had stopped.

Um, what are you doing here? Sakura asked really embarrassed that someone heard her.

Well I couldn't sleep so I took a walk. Sasuke said taking a seat next to Sakura.

Oh, is that so Sakura said quietly trying not to explode with embarrassment. There was awkward silence between the two with not much to say. Then Sakura sucked her guts in and decided to speak.

Tonight is beautiful isn't it? Sakura asked.

Yes, Yes it is Sasuke said looking at Sakura. Sakura started to blush madly that Sasuke was staring at her that way. Then Sasuke's face was nearing Sakura's and it was getting really close.

Oh no! He's going to kiss me! What am I going to do? Sakura thought as her thoughts raced through her head.

Well kiss him then! It's a chance of a lifetime here! Your first kiss! Inner Sakura said with great persuasion.

When their lips finally locked Sakura immediately pulled away.

I'm sorry! I just can't! I love Sasuke! Sakura shouted. Then when she realized what she said she looked up and saw Sasuke. (Just so you know, its Sasuke without the henge so yeah, the real Sasuke. Now you guys go, OOOhhhhhhh.)

Sa..Sasuke..kun? Sakura said very confused and scared. Did I just kiss Sasuke or Fujiwara-san? And where did Fujiwara-san go to then? Sakura kept asking herself. Then the next thing she knew someone knocked her unconscious.

Sakura awoke to the bright light of the sun feeling very strange. Wait a second! Where's Sasuke-kun! Then Sakura stopped questioning herself when she noticed she was in bed. Oh, I must have dreamed it. It was also my first kiss. Sakura sighed. She got up brushed her teeth, washed her face then she went to breakfast and noticed that Sasuke was up and eating cereal.

Well, you're up early Sakura said with a smile. I'll start making breakfast then.

Sasuke quickly finished his cereal and went back to his room.

Whew! He thought. It was a good thing that Sakura didn't remember what happened last night.

Flashback

They were sitting next to each other on the same place he had broken her heart. Sasuke kept on taking glances of Sakura seeing how beautiful she was. Then he couldn't help himself but get closer and closer to her. When he kissed her he felt this warm feeling inside of himself. But it only lasted a moment.

I'm sorry! I just can't! I love Sasuke! Sakura shouted. Sasuke had released the henge accidentally leaving Sakura really confused. He knocked her unconscious feeling terrible of what he had done to her.

All I'll end up doing is hurting her even more. So he took her home and put her in bed hoping that no one else saw.

Sasuke kept tossing and turning into bed until he woke up early morning eating cereal. Then Sakura came in
