I do not own Naruto

After the weird voice mail from Neko, Sakura jumped up and suddenly remembered that she had a date tonight. (Refer to Chapter 1) The time was 4 pm when her phone started to ring, looking at the caller ID and saw it was a number she didn't know, she slowly answered it.

"Hello?"

"Ah Sakura hello"

"Oh Ryuu, how did you get my number?" the rosette asked

"I believe your cousin, Neko was it? Gave it to me"

"I see well I will have to thank her about it then."

They talked for some time as Sakura was getting ready.

"So about you pick me up at 8?" Sakura asked.

"Sure. I have a place in mind too, see you then"

"Bye Ryuu-kun"

They hung up and for some reason she had a sense of…happiness? The rosette put a hand over her chest where her heart was, her eyes downcast. It's been so long since she felt this way.

It reached 7 when Sakura finished doing the final touches of putting her up in a high ponytail. Putting her wallet and some other things into a purse she waited for her date to show up.

Ryuu showed up before 8, looking sharp as they walked toward his car, going to the restaurant.

The restaurant was the most elegant place in Konoha. Sakura couldn't believe her eyes that the man she just met took her to the place that she always wanted to go. The host seated them as they had a private 2 seat table against the wall. The place was dim lit and gave Sakura the chills just being in here.

They talked and had a lot in common. It had turned out that he and her cousin Britlynn were good friends as they were both in Canada for schooling. Sakura always forgot what course she took. She will have to ask later.

"So what do you do for work Ryuu?" the rosette asked.

"I'm a chef. I came back home to work here." he replied.

"Then..."

"I did get it". He smirked

Sakura blushed, she didn't know they he worked at the best restaurant in Konoha, although it wasn't hard seeing how the workers were treating him, she could have put two and two together.

After some time people were filling out and they were finishing their meal, it was the best thing Sakura had ever had in her life. Her chest fluttered with how well he was treating her, no one treated her on a date as well as Ryuu did, not even him.

They were walking to the door, going to leave after paying for the meal (that he paid for no matter how much she said she could have) when someone called out her name.

"Sakura?"

The rosette looked behind her to see Kakashi Hatake, her old high school teacher and old friend.

"Kakashi? What are you doing here?" Sakura asked

"I could ask you the same thing! It's been so long!"

The two went in for a hug, Ryuu stood there with a stone mask but deep down he felt a ping of jealousy, the woman that Kakashi was with felt the same way.

When the two pulled apart Sakura went in to introduce Kakashi to Ryuu.

"Ryuu this is Kakashi my teacher from High school, Kakashi this is Ryuu, my date for tonight."

The jealousy vanished in a second when he heard that he was once her teacher. He smiled kindly to the silvered haired male and stuck his hand out to shake the older males.

"Nice to meet you, you have taught a brilliant young woman" Ryuu said.

"Ah the pleasure is mine, fortunately she came into my class like that but was always was willing to learn more." Kakashi replied.

Sakura blushed, she couldn't hold in from all the nice things she was hearing, but as soon things were going great gun shots were heard from right outside, and into the shop. Sakura's side exploded in pain as Ryuu quickly grabbed her and pulled Kakashi into a sea of tables and cradled Sakura in his chest.

They were now hostages.

I'm so sorry this took so long. Things sort of went...down.

About last Monday, my mom, Older brother and I had to call 911 on my dad, My brother found him on the floor unconscious. But it did show that my best friends are the best, They legit dropped everything they were doing and came to my house to comfort me (and upon my mothers request, because apparently when I was sleeping after they took him to the hospital I wasn't doing so good)

He came home the same day though, it appeared that he went into a diabetic coma from his sugars dropping so low. Needless to say that we were all lucky that Brother happened to be up and going to the bathroom when he found him.

I also for some time lost motivation to do...well anything. I would work, sleep, eat/shower etc. and rinse and repeat.

But I finally released a new chapter! and started a new one. Yay!

But now I must do the finishing touches on the surprise Party for my best friend tomorrow.

See you all soon
