Disclaimer: Nope, Naruto is not mine

Author's note: Hey everyone! Sorry if Sakura happens not to sound pretty to you, I just used that as a good cliffy lol I'm a sly one jk ;)

Sorry if Sakura seems a little mean in the previous chapters. It's her inner! I mean it! The inner came up with the blackmail anyway!


-Recap-

Sasuke nervously walked out of his bedroom and closed the door behind him. He was wearing his usual outfit, with only one thing different. He had taken off his head band. I bet Sakura is going to be casual too. He thought. He climbed down the stairs and sat on the couch. He looked up at the cable box. 4:58. she should be down soon, he thought.

"Hey Sasuke," Sakura said. Sasuke looked up at her. His mouth dropped. Omg! She actually looks… Sasuke gulped. She actually looks pretty…


She continued down the stairs, slowly. She wanted to savoir the moment. Sasuke looks so surprised! She finally reached the bottom, and walked towards him. What was I thinking! That dress I had picked out would have been too small! (The outfit she is wearing is different from the dress previously mentioned. A good point was shown to me by one of my readers, Dyeh. Thanks a bunch! Anyway this whole AN was just to say that I screwed up and I'm making changes in this chapter)

Anyway, Sakura strode, gracefully towards, Sasuke, with a calm smile on her face. Just when she was looking very pretty, she stumbled over her own feet and nearly fell over. Her face turned a deep pink, and she stood up straight. She was wearing a pleated black skirt with a hot pink shirt that had a spaghetti strap on one side and a regular tank top sleeve on the other side. She wore black tights and some black shoes. She had a gold chain around her neck and it sparkled in the sunlight that was shining through the window as the sun was setting. Her hair was – put hair style that would actually look... um, fancy or date-ish on Sakura here-

"C'mon! Let's go!"

She grabbed his hand and pulled him off the couch with a quick and powerful tug. Sasuke fell after he got up, he hadn't been expecting that. (Or anything else for that matter) He had a real confused look on his face. Damn! I didn't know she was so strong!

"C'mon Sasuke! We have to hurry, because I made reservations!" She said, and tugged him out the front door to the cab that was waiting for them. The driver unlocked the back doors so they could climb in. Sakura was so excited; she flung open the door with her free hand and started to slide in instantly. Sasuke got hit in the face with the door, and after a couple handful of very nasty curses, he slid into the back seat with Sakura.

The driver looked at Sakura through the rear view mirror. "Are you the girl that was on the phone earlier?" His eyes drifted to Sasuke. Sasuke gave him a death glare. Does it look like I would have a high pitched voice?

Sakura nodded.

"Yes I was" Sakura replied. Her eyes sparkled.

"Ok, where're you two lover birds goin' on this very fine night?" He asked. Sasuke winced at being referred to as a "lover bird". He examined the driver through the mirror. He had only one eye, and the socket where the other would have been was covered up with a patch. He had some crazy, unruly stubble, and his one eye kept swirling around in his head crazily. He looked some loon out of a rehab facility! (Think uncle ruckus from the boondocks on adult swim) Sasuke started to get nervous. Should we really be getting a ride from a taxi cab driver that looks like he's on one to many drugs?

"We're going to the new café a couple blocks from here. It's uh…. Oh, I can never remember its name!" Sakura thumped her head a little. This is kinda embarrassing! It was quiet for a little, and Sakura could feel her face growing hot.

But the driver saved Sakura from her embarrassment. "Oh yeah, I know where that is" He said, putting the key into the ignition and turning it. Sasuke looked at Sakura. She was letting out a sigh of relief. He face was a little pink; she was looking at her lap. Man, she really doesn't want anything to go wrong. She looks nervous. Sasuke thought.

It was a quiet ride to the café, and Sasuke started to get bored. He was just about to nod off, when the driver pulled into the driveway of the café and turned to them in the backseat. "Here we are!" He said. He held out his hand to Sakura.

"Six dollars and 25 cents please!" Sakura handed the driver the money. The driver unlocked the door for them and got out. He walked over to Sasuke's side and opened the door. Sasuke and Sakura slid out. Sakura grabbed Sasuke's hand. "C'mon lets go inside." She said cheerfully. She started to pull him to the door.

"Sakura!" He said, "Don't pull me!", She continued to pull him. They got to the door, and she calmed down. She smoothed her dress, fiddled around with her a little and pushed open the double doors. They walked over to the podium where this waiter was standing, checking for reservations.

"Hello, I have a reservation for tonight", She said in her most grown up, serious voice. "It's under Haruno". The man said nothing, and flipped through his clipboard of names.

His finger went up and down the page.

"Ahh, Haruno Sakura, correct?" He said, raising an eyebrow, looking at her as if she were inferior.

"Yes." She said, nodded.

"Right this way please." He said, and grabbed two menus and started to glide across the restaurant, his nose in the air. He set the menus in their place at a booth. Sakura and Sasuke slid into opposite sides of the booth. The waiter started his way back to his podium, and a bus boy came with silverware and napkins. He offered the two drinks.

"Um, water will be fine." Sakura said. She turned to Sasuke who was in front of her and smiled.

He didn't make eye contact with her. In fact, he didn't realize she was smiling at him! He was ordering his drink.

"Uh……" He looked down at the menu, again for the 3rd time. "Uh…. Let's go with Dr. Pepper." He said. The busboy nodded, writing down the orders on his pad. He stuffed the pad of paper into his little apron-thingy, and hurried off. Sasuke finally turned to Sakura.

"So, what are you going to order?" He tried to make small talk, it was getting to quiet for comfort. Sakura had her head in one hand, and was gazing at him dreamily. Sasuke's soooo hot! I can't believe I'm actually on a date with him.

"Uh Sakura? You're drooling! Sasuke waved his hands in front of her face. She shook her head trying to come back from her dream world.

"Huh? Oh, I think I'm going to get the spaghetti with some… uh…," She flipped through the menu again. "Garlic breadsticks for us to share." She winked at him. Wow she's really not good at the flirty girl image thingy... Sasuke thought, a tad creeped out by her wink.

"Oh yeah, um me too." He said. Just as he got done saying that sentence, their waitress popped up. She took both of their orders and quickly hurried off to the kitchen.

Sakura tried to make some small talk. After a couple of minutes of thinking about a subject, she realized that she really didn't know that much about Sasuke. "So, Sasuke, what are your hopes and dreams?" She said, leaning over the table attentively.

"I am an avenger," He said, his face dulling. The waitress came back with their pasta and a basket of bread with butter. She set the plate of spaghetti in front of each of them, smiled warmly, and was called to another table. Sakura nodded. "I see…" She thought about it for a minute, talking a forkful of her spaghetti. "Who is it that you want to avenge?"

Sasuke was quiet for a minute, and grabbed his fork and played around in his plate, finally taking a fork full. He slurped the pasta into his mouth, tomato sauce getting all over the place. He wiped his mouth with a napkin. He had no expression on his face.

"I want to avenge my clan and kill my brother, Itachi." He said. "I want to kill him before I die." Sakura was really surprised. Her eyes had gone wide. Sasuke just coldly starred into her green eyes and continued. "And I… uh..." He knew what he was about to say would make her excited. "Uh… rebuild my clan..." He winced, knowing that she would go off about how the two of them were meant for each other etc, etc. He was really surprised when she said nothing. She just nodded her head and continued to shove forkfuls of pasta into her mouth. Sasuke decided not to question the peace and quiet and started to eat more too.

Suddenly, Itachi appeared out of no where. Kisame was by his side. Sasuke choked on his fork. His spun around, the fork spinning him mouth as if it was a garbage disposal (you know what I mean right? Like when you drop a spoon in a garbage disposal, it just spins? Ya know right?) Sakura jumped over the booth's table and landed next to him and pushed him out on to the floor. He was face down and was he screaming, with the fork still spinning around in his mouth. Sakura hopped off of the booth seat and stood over Sasuke, and turned him over onto his back. His arms were flailing like he was trying to fly, and it made it hard for sakura when she quickly lifted him to his feet and did the Heimlich maneuver. A popping noise sounded, and the fork flew out of Sasuke's mouth and across the room to Itachi. Itachi calmly stepped out of the way and the fork stabbed the wall. He smirked as he walked over to his pathetic brother who was now being held up by a flimsy little girl. Kisame was staring at the fork in the wall; it was vibrating in the wall. "Cool….."

"Ahh, so I see my little brother really isn't asexual!" Itachi said, smirking. He turned to Kisame, who was still in awe at the fork in the wall. "Kisame! Get your ass over here!" Kisame quickly jogged over to Itachi.

Sasuke pulled himself out of Sakura's grasp. He wiped away some drool that had settled on his lip while his mouth was full of fork.

"Why…." Sasuke panted. Choking on a fork is a hell of a lot painful to do then to watch! "Why are you here?" He hissed.

"Foolish little brother", Itachi said, shaking his head from side to side. His face was expressionless. He then stopped shaking his head and went cuzimcrazylikethat OOCness (lol) "It's because me and Kisame wanted to watch you on your first date!" Itachi said, grinning from ear to ear. "I had to come to make sure you didn't do anything naughty!" He winked at Sasuke and turned around. The OOCness drained from him. "Damn, I hate it when this crazed author does that to me!" He said. "I will kill her!" He turned to Sasuke, OOCness over coming him again. "Here you go! To tickets to the local fair!" He said in a happy high pitched voice like before. He handed the tickets to Sasuke, linked arms with Kisame, and the two of them happily skipped out of the café.

Sakura turned back to where they had been sitting for dinner. Her spaghetti was all over the table from when she had leaped over the table. Sasuke's dish was somehow… missing….

Well, I guess that means we're done eating. She went to go pay the bill. Sasuke, just stood, staring at the spot where his brother and sidekick had skipped out of the café like happy school girls. Sakura came back. Well, what are we going to do now? The night is ruined! She noticed the tickets in Sasuke's hands. Ahhh! Maybe not all hope is lost! She snatched the tickets from Sasuke and grabbed his hand, running to the door, dragging him across the carpet. (Damn! Déjà vu! Ha but this time, Sasuke was able to get up) Sasuke ran beside Sakura.

"Where are we going now!" He yelled to her. She had him running along the trees in the forest that was close to the cafe. A branch smacked him in the face. Damnit I'm going to get Sakura for this later! Sakura turned to look back at him.

"We're going to the local Fair!" She yelled back. She was going so fast everything was a blur now.

Oh great. Just great.
