Courting Gone Wrong
Chapter 2: I'm falling for you…
The next day…
Sasuke arrived early at their meeting place.
(Sasuke's thoughts) Sakura…Sakura… What if I said I really care… Gah! Why can't I stop thinking about you…
He is now lost in his own sea of thoughts… Oh how he wished he could tell her how he feels about her… But, how? It's not like him to tell Sakura straight in the face that he has feelings for her, right? Sasuke would never show what he really feels inside. On the inside, Sasuke is filled with emotions he never dared to show, but sometimes he wishes he could. But on the outside, He is stiff and emotionless. He always wears a mask which prevents him to show his true emotions.
His head is now throbbing in pain. All this thinking is making him go crazy…
But he really can't stop thinking about her…(A/N: Love is weird…)
(Sasuke's thoughts) " Sakura, What did you ever do to me to make me care so much about you? You don't know how much you mean to me. You don't know how you make me feel when you're around. When you're around, my heart dances with joy with every beat it produces. When you're around, all my anger, frustration and hate is replaced by happiness, warmth and love. Only you can make me feel that way. Only you…"
But his thoughts were interrupted when a familiar voice, which he once thought annoying, greeted him…
"Ohayo, Sasuke!"
"Huh…" Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts.
He blushed slightly upon realizing that the one he was thinking about not-too-long-ago is right in front of him.
Sakura noticed the faint blush that made its way through his face but decided not to say anything…
(Sakura's thoughts) "Did Sasuke just…blush?"
They both fell silent, pondering in their own thoughts…
(Sasuke's thoughts) "I hope she didn't notice that I blushed. And even if she did, I hope she doesn't get the wrong idea." "That would be…embarrassing."
(Sakura's thoughts) "Silly me, Why would I think that a girl like me could make the ever-so-proud, Uchiha Sasuke, blush? Or did I?
After 4 hours and 30 minutes…
Sasuke is now resting under the shade of a Sakura tree… (A/N: hehehe…;p)
Sakura is sick of waiting for their sensei and Naruto…
Sakura is pissed off beyond relief that she is now walking back and forth, muttering something under her breath about their sensei being late, again.
Sasuke opened one eye and observed her… He smiled with what he saw…
(Sasuke's thoughts) Hehe… She looks cute when she's pissed off. I better calm her down before she loses her cool.
Sasuke stood up, walked over to where she was standing and asked her coolly, "What's the problem, Sakura"
Sakura was kind of shocked, she never expected him, Uchiha Sasuke, to talk to her so… nicely.
"Oh, nothing…"
(Sasuke's thoughts) Yeah right…
"It's just that… KAKASHI-SENSEI IS ALWAYS LATE AND IT'S KIND OF UNFAIR FOR US TO WAKE UP EARLY JUST TO MAKE IT HERE IN TIME AND THERE HE IS GOING TO THE MEETING PLACE ANY RANDOM TIME HE DECIDES TO GO!" Sakura said, screaming at the top of her lungs.
Sasuke sweat dropped.
She calmed down a bit, glad that she got that off her chest.
She smiled, looked at Sasuke and saw that she scared the living daylights out of him.
"Ehh… Sasuke, did I scare you?" Sakura asked, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.
(Sasuke's thoughts) "Boy, this girl could scream…" "Note to self: never piss her off…"
"Uh…Sasuke…" Sakura said as she waved her hand in front of his face.
Sasuke was still in a daze, but he somehow managed to snap out of it.
"Uh...yeah…and may I add that his excuses are really lame and crappy. You know, he is not really good at telling lies… He should at least make his excuses believable." Sasuke said, regaining his composure.
"Yeah! Remember the time he said that he helped a turtle cross the road? Puh-leeeze! As if someone would believe that! That is the crappiest excuse I've ever heard! Sakura said childishly.
Sasuke chuckled a bit at her comment.
(Sasuke's thoughts) Maybe here's my chance to tell her…
"Sakura, I…"
"Hm, Sasuke…"
"I wanna tell you something…" Sasuke said looking away, avoiding her eyes.
"HI GUYS!" Naruto said loudly. (A/N: as usual…)
Upon receiving a glare from Sasuke, he realized what he had just done.
"Oh, Did I interrupt anything?" Naruto asked, trying to sound innocent.
Sasuke threw him a look which says once-again-you've-found a-perfect-way-to ruin-a-great-moment.
"Baka…" Sasuke muttered under his breath.
"Ehehe…" Naruto sweat dropped and mouthed a "sorry" to Sasuke.
Sakura forgot about what Sasuke was going to tell her.
Instead, She turned to Naruto and asked…calmly this time, not wanting to scare Sasuke again like what she did earlier.
"Why did you arrive only now? We've been waiting here for hours…" Sakura said with a frown.
"Ehh…" Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Uh… Sasuke, Sakura, please don't kill me…"
Naruto breathed in, gathered all his courage and told them the truth.
"You see, Kakashi-sensei called last night to inform me that the mission for today is cancelled. He told me to tell you guys but I guess it must have slipped my mind since I forgot to tell you about it and…yeah…"
(Sasuke's thoughts) "Come on, you baka, run while you still have the chance… I swear you don't want to see Sakura mad." "But then again, I wanna see her beat the living daylights out of you…" "Hehehe…" Sasuke thought wickedly.
"Hehe…uh…Gomennasai!" Naruto said as quickly as he could.
He ran as fast as he can to avoid the beatings he was supposed to get from the now fuming Sakura and the now annoyed Sasuke.
Sasuke could tell that Sakura is boiling up inside. He could also tell that she would blow up any second now.
Her fists are clenched tightly making her knuckles white. Her whole body is shaking violently.
He didn't dare calm her down, now.
Sasuke counted mentally…

Sasuke covered his ears knowing exactly what's gonna happen next.
"NARUTO! COME BACK HERE AND FACE YOUR BEATINGS LIKE A MAN!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs, since she couldn't hold it in any longer.
Her scream made the birds scatter all around Konoha.
There were at least 6 anime veins popping out of her temples. Steam was literally coming out of her ears. I swear, you don't want to get her pissed any further at this moment.
"What the hell! I wasted 5 hours of my precious time for nothing! "Grr…Naruto, just wait 'til I get my hands on you!"
"Tsk. Tsk, Tsk…typical Naruto…" Sasuke said as he shook his head.
"Uh, Sakura, Wanna get some ice cream? It seems like you could really need one right now. My treat, So…"
"Really?" Sakura said lightening up a bit.
"Uh…yeah." He said flatly.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you Sasuke-kun! You're my no. 1!" She said cheerfully, forgetting that she was really, really angry a while ago…
She was so happy that she hugged Sasuke tightly.
(Sasuke's thoughts) Anything for you…
While they were on their way to the ice-cream parlor,
Sasuke was celebrating a victory dance on his head
(Sasuke's thoughts) "She said I'm her no. 1! Yeah! I scored one for me!"
When they arrived at the ice-cream parlor, Sakura ordered a strawberry sundae and Sasuke ordered iced coffee jelly. (A/N: pretty weird, huh?)
He paid for their order and they sat down on the counter to eat their ice cream.
Sasuke attempted to strike a conversation.
"So, what are you doing later?" He asked, breaking the ice.
(Sakura's thoughts) Is this really Sasuke? How come he's so nice? Oh well, I guess the saying's true… "Though it may seem impossible, people can change if they want to…" But I like the new Sasuke, I'm glad he changed…
"Er… I'm going to help my mom clean the house…"
(Sasuke's thoughts) "Wow, she'd make a perfect wife…"
Upon realizing what he had just said in his thoughts, he slapped himself mentally.
(Sasuke's thoughts) "What the hell! Did I just say that? Why am I thinking these things?"
"What about you, Sasuke?"
"Eh, I'm going to Naruto's place later 'coz he's gonna help me with "something"."
"Sasuke, do me a favor and bonk Naruto's head for me…" She said to him, calmly.
He smiled a wicked smile and said, "I'd be glad to."
Sasuke finished his ice-cream first and waited patiently for Sakura to finish hers.
As soon as she finished her ice-cream she thanked him for the treat. She stood up and started to walk away but was stopped when Sasuke grabbed her wrist. She turned around and looked at him with a confused look on her face.
"Would you mind if I walked you home?" Sasuke asked.
"Huh? Are you okay, Sasuke? Did you eat something funny in the ice-cream?"
"No." He said flatly.
"Well in that case, I wouldn't mind!" She said with a cute smile on her face.
Sakura's house is near from the ice-cream parlor so it didn't take long for them to arrive there.
"Sakura, I'm gonna go now." He said without any emotions.
"Arigatou, Sasuke-kun!" She said sweetly
"Hn." was his reply.
He started walking the opposite direction but stopped when he heard Sakura say something.
"I'm glad you changed…" She said softly.
"Hn." He replied, and then he continued walking.
Sasuke was smiling inwardly.
(Sasuke's thoughts) "If only you know that I changed for you."
