Chapter Eight.
Of Amusment Parks, Matchmaking and Dates.
Silver's Point Of View.
"Ne, Demon, wanna help me play matchmaker?" I asked in a sing song voice looking at Demon.
"Do I even have a choice in the matter?" He said dryly.
"Aw! Demon-kkuuunnn!" I said with a cute little pout. "Pwease?"
"Even if I said no you would make me." He stated. Then added kissing me, "Besides I doubt I could say no to you."
"Yay! Thankiez!!" I said bouncing up and down. Pecking Demon on the cheek I ran off to my room trying to find the amusement park tickets I had gotten from a client. I had gotten four and was planning on taking me, Demon. Then saving the other two for the both of us for another time this way we got to go twice. But this was going to be much much more fun.
Grabbing the phone in the kitchen I plopped down on the counter and began to dial Sakura's number.
"Moshi, moshi?" Sakura asked as she picked up the phone.
"Heyaz!!" I said happily. "I got these tickets to an amusement park, me and Demon can't go. But do you and Sasuke wanna?"
"Sure!" Sakura said. "Be right back. I am going to ask Sasuke."
"Okie dokie!" I said waiting for her to get back on the phone. (okie dokie who ever noted about how Sakura said okie dokie a lot it is cause me likie okie dokie and Silver just so happends to say it a lot and she got it from her)
"Okay! I'm back. Sasuke said sure. Where is the park?" Sakura asked.
"It is here. You can go today! It's not even noon yet! You can have the whole day there!" I said in a sing song voice.
"Okay! How would we get the tickets though? Where are you?" Sakura asked after thinking about it for a second.
"I will have Suki fly them over to you." I said. "They will be there in a second. Bye byez!!"
"Okay, bye bye!" Sakura said.
Summoning Suki I gave her the tickets and sent her to Sakura's place to give them the tickets and stay there and come back and tell me when they left so Demon and I could follow soon after.
"This is great!" I said happily flinging myself onto the couch next to Demon laying my head in his lap.
"What is?" Demon asked as he fiddled with my long braid trying to get it undone.
"Sakura and Sasuke are going to go to the amusement park and it is a nice sunny day. Even though it is winter it is nice and sunny! It's not to warm and not to cold!" I said lifting my head so Demon could undo my braid. He was probably the only person I let see my hair freely.
"I thought you detested the cold." He replied raising his eyebrow as he ran his fingers through my long brown hair.
"I do!" I exclaimed for I hated the cold. "But, if it is cold Sakura can borrow Sasuke's sweater and they can cuddle!!"
"As you wish." He said running his fingers through my hair once more before gently removing me from his lap and going to the window to let Suki in.
Cloud's Point Of View.
This was definitely going to me a long day. It was rare that Silver tried to play matchmaker for this was more of her friend Ino's thing, thought unlike with Ino, she usually succeeded in getting the pair together, whereas Ino generally was caught. After letting Suki in I walked to where Silver was. "Come." I said lifting her bridal style. "You need to get dressed as do I." I said dumping her on her bed before walking into my room.
"Yeah, yeah." She said sticking her tongue out childishly at me.
Once we were both dressed. Silver's outfit consisted of a pair of baggy jeans that Sakura and TenTen had used as target pracitce with. Well, TenTen and Sakura had made the jeans and Silver liked them so she made her own, and a black shirt and a sweatshirt that was huge on her and belonged to me. I was wearing jeans and a black shirt.
"C'mon!" She said as she dragged me out the door. The elderly lady that lived next door looked at us shaking her head laughing probably remembering when she was like that dragging her poor husband around. Thought I doubt he minded, just as I don't.
"Okie dokie, Sakura liked the faris wheel so they are prolly gonna go on it first so me and you are gonna try and rock it so they land on each other!" Silver explained her plan.
"Fine." I said boredly. This wasn't going to be to much fun. I rather liked her plans where she pulled pranks in Konoha like the time she scared the shit out of rookie nine and team Gai. It was rather funny because they fell for it. Neji, Hinata, and Shino were the only ones in on it because they had noticed Silver right away. Well, Hinata did and she told Shino and Neji and they helped her scare them.
"Cheer up!" She said as she dragged me along.
"Theres Pinky and the Uchiha." I said pointing at Sakura as she dragged Sasuke to the faris wheel. I smirked when I noticed that Sasuke had a faint blush on his cheeks.
"What you smirking at?" Silver demanded wanting to know what was so funny.
"The oh so famous surviver of the Uchiha Clan is blushing." I said.
"Doko!? Doko?!" Silver demanded looking around violently.
"There." I said pointing to the faris wheel.
"Ooo, they are going to the faris wheel!" Silver exclaimed as she dragged me off to the faris wheel. "Okie dokie! This is what we're gonna do. You're gonna fly me up there and I'ma try and shake the thingy they are and one of 'em is gonna stand up to see why it is shakin' and we're gonna make 'em fall into one n'other!"
"Why do I have to fly you? Last time I checked you could fly too." I said looking at her incredulously.
"Shud up! You know you like it." She added as if an afterthought. I rolled my eyes at her antics. It was true I liked to hold her but she was just as lazy as hell how she got to be one of the most feared assassins of.. well, anywhere, is beyond me.
"Whatever c'mon. I can't just grow wings and take off." I said.
"We don't grow wings. We.. um, like sprout 'em outa our backs." She said.
"Whatever." I chuckled. The look on her face was priceless. She wasn't stupid and was more mature than a lot of people more than twice her age, when she wanted to be, but when she wanted to be she could be a spur of the moment kinda of person. Hell, half the time she just did things to do it. Not thinking about it til after she had done it and when she did think about it she thought 'Damn, that was fun!' or something like that.
It didn't matter to her if other people thought of her 'cause to her you could call her every name in every language you could think of and she wouldn't take it to heart, though, you might just end up with a few broken bones...
"Oi! Get yer big head outa the clouds and c'mon!" Silver said breaking me from my thoughts. Some guys would be offended if she said this but Silver had a tendency to say and do things without thinking and sometimes regret saying it.
"You know you love me and my big head. " I teased smiling. When I didn't say anything she thought I was mad at her and was about to apologise.
"O'course I do!" She said as I wrapped my arm around her waist lifting her as we took off. (like Yue in Cardcaptor Sakura. Benders have wings!! :D ain't it awesome!!)
Once we landed on the Faris Wheel (um insert what ever it is called I dunnu!! lol havnt been on one in like a while.) once she was down she began to try and rock it. She looked like an idiot trying very hard to move the (same thing) but she wasn't having much succes.
"What the hell!!" She said. "Last time I was on one of these it rocked like alot!! And I was in it with some ugly client who kept trying to hit on me! Wait... Not that I think about it, him and his ugly mug prolly paid someone to rock it!"
Laughing at the sight I blasted a fair amount of air at the (yeah same thing.) making it rock back and forth I felt a bit smug when I saw that Sakura had landed in Sasuke's lap and they both were red. (why is the saying beet red when I beet is more like pink? I meen really!! I saw one b4!! lol)
"No fair!" Silver yelled pointing at jumping up and down like a little kid.
"What the hell?" Sasuke said about to poke his head from the (yeah, same thing ppl). Grabbing Silver jumping from the (... u no the drill). Luckily Sasuke did not notice either of us.
Sasuke's Point Of View, in the faris wheel thingy.
Once we were at the park Sakura immediately dragged me to the faris wheel. Once we were in it I swear I heard Silver's voice, but said nothing knowing full well she wanted to get us together and I wasn't going to stop her.
"Isn't the view so cool!" Sakura squealed.
"Yeah." I said I had half a mind to say 'not at pretty as you' but you saw that to much in stories, movies and such.
"Ah!" Sakura yelped as the (u no the drill) began to rock a bit. Getting up to see what was up. Once she standing there was a violent shake and the (... dont make me say it), it shook like a leaf. "Wha-!"
"What the?" I asked as Sakura fell onto me, turning red jumping off me as soon as she could manage. "What the hell?" I said getting up to see Silver and Cloud jump from the (..), Cloud looked smug and Silver was pouting. Silently I thanked them for doing it but said nothing to Sakura. "Theres nothing there. Wanna go on a roller coaster?"
"Sure!" Sakura said soon forgetting her embaresment. When we got out of the faris wheel we headed for a large roller coaster that I had seen and it looked like fun. As we walked in to the line some guy came up to us.
"Hey, babe leave Mr. Chicken Hair there and come have some fun." He said trying to sound cool, though I must say he did miserably.
Bam!
Now there is something I didn't expect. I thought looking at the guy on the floor.
"I am the only one allowed to call him that, ne, Sasuke?" Sakura said in a sugary voice.
"H-hai." I said taken aback. I really didn't expect her to do that.
"C'mon!" She said beckoning me forward with the line.
"Yeah, yeah." I said following her after sparing one last look at the looser who had tried to hit on Sakura. And if I may say one more thing about him, he did not walk he waddled. (You ever seen someone try to run while they are sagging? It looks funny. Not that I have anything against people who sag but seriously, we do not wanna see your lil boy undies. So cover it up. AND IF YOUR MOM DRIVES YOU TO SCHOOL YOU AIN'T A GANGSTER. SO PULL YOUR PANTS UP!!! Jeff Foxworthy rocks. Woot!!)
"That was kinda funny, don't'cha think Sasuke?" Sakura said looking at me.
"Very. Though, I didn't expect you to do that. And since when were you aloud to call me Mr. Chicken Hair?" I said raising an eyebrow.
"Since you called me Pinky. " Sakura said in a sing song voice.
"Hn." I said blocking a blow from Sakura. I didn't feel like getting a concussion.
"No saying 'hn'!" Sakura said trying to take a blow at me once again, but this time she lost her balance and fell into me.
"As you wish." I said with a chuckle as she turned red.
"You're turning a lovely shade of red I must say. You're putting Hinata to shame." I teased smirking when she turned redder.
"Shut it!" Sakura said turning another shade of red. She really did put Hinata's blushes to shame I noted.
Once we were in front of the line we saw some people getting off of the roller coaster, "Was it fun?" Sakura asked one guy as he walked past them.
"Yeah!" He said.
"Thanks!" Sakura said with a smile.
"Anytime!" He said walking off.
As we got into the coaster Sakura looked a bit anxious. It ended soon after it started, though I must say I enjoyed it very much, for Sakura had grabbed onto me for almost the whole ride.
For the rest of that day we went on random rides, made funny faces in the house of mirrors and ate a lot of greasy food that we were going to regret eating later. I saw Silver but didn't say anything to Sakura, I simply mouthed thank you to Cloud and Silver, who in turn smiled and waved in Clouds case, and in Silver's she made kissy faces, earning a laugh from Cloud who dragged her off somewhere else before she could get any ideas and follow us.
"Having fun?" I asked Sakura as we got off the merry go round.
"Yup!" Sakura said happily. "Wanna watch the fireworks later?"
"Sure." I said smiling, a real smile, when she gave a broad grin as she dragged me to the tilt-a-whirl. When we were off the tilt-a-whirl Sakura then dragged me to bumper cars, and after that she semi-dragged me to numerous other rides. I had never really seen her this happy and care free, it made me happy that she let me see this side of her.
"Time for the hanabi!" Sakura said yawning as she dragged me off in another direction.
"Here." Cloud said walking up to us handing us to blankets, one to lay on the other to keep warm, for it got chilly during the nights. "Silver brought some blankets. We have two already, these ones are for you two. Give them back whenever."
"Okay, thanks." I said as he walked off with a wave to us. Plopping down on the blanket I patted the blanket beside me inviting Sakura to sit next to me. When I was younger I would have never let her be this close to me. God, I was stupid. I wish I hadn't done it. I like her a lot better now that she doesn't stalk me though.
Yawning Sakura tried to get comfortable, but couldn't seem to get a good posision as the ground was not comfortable and I was using my sweater as a pillow. Grabbing Sakura's hand I pulled her so her head was resting on my chest. Looking alarmed Sakura gave a strangled gasp, but soon snuggled into my chest as I covered her with the extra blanket as she shivered.
"Aw!! How cute!" I heard Silver coo. But she was soon silenced by Cloud who gave her a quick kiss and pulled her into a similar position as Sakura and I were in.
Sakura's Point Of View.
I was really going to have to thank Silver, this was the best day ever I mean ever. I was snuggled up to Sasuke's chest and was now watching hanabi as they shot into the sky. Looking over at Air Head and Silver, I saw just about the cutest thing ever, and I wasn't the only one who thought so. I saw a few people looking over at them, all over them murmuring about how cute they looked. Some girls looked envious of Silver, she was curled up into a tight ball at Clouds side asleep as he watched the hanabi his chin on her head and his hand rubbing lazy circles in her back.
Silver looked so innocent and beautiful, it was hard to belive what she could do. Though some people may say it is not that much of a cute sight I thought very much it was for you could practically see the love radiating off Cloud as he looked down at Silver. Giving a cute yawn Silver sat up stretching, looking at Cloud saying something.
"Aw!!" I heard her whine. "You could have woken me!" She said loudly for she had missed the hanabi.
"Not my fault." Cloud replied shrugged with a lazy grin. "You sleep like a rock.." This statement earned a few laughs from our surroundings making Silver look around and pout like a child who has been denied candy or something.
"Come." Cloud said putting his hand out as he stood up. When she took his hand he pulled her into his chest kissing her on the cheek he released her and began to fold the blankets and carry them off with Silver trotting close behind, looking like she could fall asleep walking.
"They make a cute couple." I noted standing up as Sasuke folded the blankets.
"Yeah." Sasuke said. I smiled at the look on his face.
Yawning I said, "Lets get going."
"Yeah." Sasuke said yawning as well. Once we were at the apartment Sasuke dumped the blankets on the couch and walked off to go to sleep.
"Sasuke." I called.
"Yeah?" He asked puzzled as to why I called him.
"Night." I said smiling as I gave him a peck on the lips and began to walk off, only to be stopped as Sasuke grabbed my arm whirling me around, I cannot explain how surprised I was nor how happy I was when I felt Sasuke's warm lips on mine.
"See you in the morning." Sasuke said with a smirk on his face as he walked off to his room.
After Sasuke was asleep I decided I couldn't sleep and I tip toed into Sasuke's room trying not to wake him.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked sounding a bit cross.
"A-ano, I couldn't sleep." I stuttered out lamely.
"Come here." Sasuke said in a softer voice.
"Hai." I said walking to the side of his bed. I gave a yelp as I was pulled down next to him.
"Go to sleep, Sakura." Sasuke said covering me up and pulling me snug against his chest resting his chin on my head.
"Sasuke?" I asked.
"Yes, Sakura?"
"I never stopped loving you, you know?" I said softly.
"I hoped so." Sasuke said softly. "Good night."
"Nighty nighty." I said falling asleep.
