Sasuke and the guys were already at the restaurant. They were seated at a very large circular table at the back, now they were all waiting for the girls to show up.
"Where are they? They're the ones that invited us, why should we wait for them?" complained Naruto.
"Just shut up. They'll be here." said Neji. He was growing tired of Naruto's complaints.
Sakura, Tenten, Ino, and Hinata were running towards the restaurant. They were late because they told each other at the last minute to meet at the market place. Ino took too long because she was not done with fixing her make up.
"Ino, no one on earth needs a lot of make up." Sakura said as she continued running.
"Well sorry! I just want to look good. After all, this is going to be at a fancy restaurant." Ino explained as she ran next to Sakura.
"Why couldn't we planned this earlier when we were at Sakura's house?" asked Tenten.
"Why didn't you guys think of it earlier?" asked Sakura.
"Sorry oh great Sakura." Ino said sarcastically.
Sakura rolled her eyes and continued running. In no time at all, they were at the restaurant. They stopped in front of it and checked their clothes and hair. Sakura smoothed out the wrinkles on her dress and Hinata was helping Ino with her hair. After they were satisfied, they walked casually inside.
"Hi, how may I help you?" asked the lady in the front.
"Oh, do you have any reservations under Sakura Haruno?"
The lady looked in her little black book, searching for Sakura's name. "Oh yes, here it is. Your table is at the back with the other four gentlemen."
"Thank you." Hinata said as she walked with the others to the large table that they reserved.
"Sorry that we're late, someone couldn't stop putting make up on." Sakura said as she looked at Ino.
"Well it wasn't my fault that were late. No one exactly told us of where were going to meet." Ino said as she looked at Sakura.
Sakura sat down between Sasuke and Naruto, Hinata sat between Naruto and Neji, Tenten between Neji and Shikamaru, and Ino sat next to Shikamaru. This was the order from left to right. Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Neji, Tenten, Shikamaru, and Ino.
"So, what do you want to eat?" Naruto asked as he scanned through the menu. His eyes widened when he didn't find his favorite food. "What kind of restaurant is this?! There's no ramen!"
"Naruto sit down! Your making a scene!" exclaimed Shikamaru.
Naruto crossed his arms and leaned back on his chair. He was acting like a little kid and this was embarrassing everyone.
"Lets just all order the same thing." suggested Sakura. "In that way, it would be easier."
"That sounds good." said Tenten.
"What are we going to order?" asked Hinata.
Sakura scanned at the menu quickly to find something good. Her smiled widened when she found something. "Lets just get letter B, it has some good foods." she said as she pointed at the menu for everyone to see.
Everyone looked at the menu and nodded. There were four dishes to eat from it. The food could practically make your mouth water by just looking at the picture. And the food didn't cost a lot of money.
(AN: just imagine the food yourself ok?)
A waitress walked over to Sakura's table with a notepad and a pencil. "Hi, may I take your order now?"
"Oh well have letter B please." said Sakura.
The lady smiled as she took the order. She happily turned around and left. Another lady came and served them ice cold water leaving the pitcher.
After that they just sat down and didn't said a word. Naruto was using his fork and spoon and tapping on his plate making drum noises with it. Sakura was twirling a strand of pink hair in her hand. So basically it was getting boring.
The food arrived about a few minutes later. It did look great. The waitress carefully placed the plates with the food on the table. Everyone each passed the table to the next person. When the food was all passed out, they all started to eat.
Sakura was about to grab a bread from a basket but she accidentally put her hand on top of Sasuke's. She didn't even noticed that he has getting a bread.
'I didn't even know that he likes bread!' yelled Inner Sakura.
Sakura quickly snatched her hand back and put it close to her chest. She could hear her own heart beating fast. It was a good thing that no one noticed her. They were all busy eating the food, but Sasuke noticed her. He shrugged it off and ate the food on his plate instead.
The rest of the dinner went by smoothly. This time, no one was hurt. But Naruto yelled a few times about not having any ramen. About an hour later, they were all outside talking loudly.
"Sakura! Your wedding is tomorrow! I cant wait!" Ino yelled as she went up and gave Sakura a huge bear hug.
"Ino! Your drunk!" yelled Tenten. Ino had a little too much sake.
"No I'm not! I just feel a bit woozy." Ino said as she did a spin and almost fell down. Luckily, Shikamaru caught her in time.
"Sakura. Maybe Hinata, Ino, and I could stay over your house. In that way we can help you in the morning." offered Tenten.
"That's a good idea." said Sakura. She reached into her purse and got out a key to her house. She handed it to Tenten.
"And us handsome guys are staying over at Sasuke's!" yelled Naruto.
"Since when?" Sasuke asked darkly. The last thing he wanted was Naruto starting pillow fights.
"Come one Sasuke! Your just being in your emo mood again! Its no wonder that you don't have that much friends." answered Naruto.
Sasuke glared at him darkly enough to kill a person. "Fine."
"Yay! Sleepover! Sleepover! Sleepover!" cheered Naruto. "Come on guys we have to get our stuff!"
Naruto grabbed Neji and headed off. He turned to Shikamaru and yelled. "You can drop off Ino at Sakura's house with the girls. We'll meet you at Sasuke's house!"
Shikamaru sighed. "Why does it always have to be me?"
Tenten led the way to Sakura's house with Hinata and Shikamaru behind her. He was carrying Ino bridal style. So it was Sakura and Sasuke alone…again…
"Sasuke, your coming tomorrow, right?" asked Sakura.
"No." Sasuke replied coldly.
Sakura widened her eyes. How can he not go?!
"Wha-what? Your not going? Why not?" Sakura asked in disbelief.
"You told me to leave you alone. And that's what I'm going to do." Sasuke replied simply.
'What? Why is he acting like this? What's wrong with him?' Sakura thought to herself.
"Please Sasuke just come. Give me a good reason to not to come then." Sakura said putting her hands on her hips.
"I'm moving to a new country tomorrow." Sasuke replied, still not making eye contact with her.
"What? Why? Why are you doing this?" asked Sakura.
"I'm doing this because of you." Sasuke turned away from her and headed toward the direction of his house. Sasuke stopped and turned half way. "The only person that can stop me from moving is you."
Sasuke continued on his way towards his home. Sakura was left dumbfounded by his words. He was doing all this for her. Sakura fell down to her knees and sobbed quietly on the palm of her hands for a few minutes. She wiped her face on her arm and slowly got up. She walked silently back to her house.
Sakura opened the door of her house to find Tenten and Hinata talking quietly with Ino sleeping on one of her two couches. Sakura slowly closed the door, careful to not make any creaking sounds. She locked it and turned to her friends.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Sakura asked taking a seat on the couch.
"Nothing. But Sakura, you were gone for a long time. What happened?" Tenten asked taking a seat next to her.
"Nothing. I just wanted to take a little walk." replied Sakura.
"B-but Sakura. Y-your eyes are red." Hinata said quietly.
"Were you talking to Sasuke?" asked Tenten.
"Yeah." sighed Sakura.
"W-what did he say?" asked Hinata.
"He said that he wasn't coming to the wedding tomorrow. He's also moving to a new country." Sakura said as fresh hot tears were coming down her face.
"Sakura, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that he was going to do something like this. It's ok, everything will be alright. Remember, you still have Hiroshi by your side." Tenten said as she pulled her into a comforting hug.
"Yeah, your right." said Sakura.
A feeling of doubt started to form in Sakura's stomach. What if Sasuke was right? What is he was just using her? She didn't know if it was true or not though. Besides, tomorrow was supposed to be the happiest day of her life? Right?
Sorry that I took so long to update! I just had a huge project and I'm done with it! So please review!
