Chapter 4:

Sakura ran away of the party feeling ashamed of herself.

"I knew he would react that way… no, he reacted worse! His eyes were more colder as the kiss didn't meant anything to him too… Oh I'm so stupid!" Sakura was saying that to herself as she cried, lost in what just happend at the party. She ran without looking where she was going and what was in front of her…

She found herself in front of the Uchiha's Clan part of the village that had been a area closed many years ago when the clan were murdered by Itachi of Akatuski that then was killed by Sasuke who went after him for revenge of his clan.

Sasuke was on her thoughts again as she was trying to not. She ran then the opposite way. But almost every corner in the village remembered her of him, and as one thought lead to another she was found on her most recent memory of him again. Then she decided to calm herself, she was a smart girl, she spent hours on preparing her self to that party, Sasuke wasn't going to mess up with her thoughts again, alias, he didn't even care about her. And then so she decided to clear her red eyes and go back to that party and found someother boy who could make her have some fun and forget Sasuke even if it was for a while.

She was walking to the party again when she found Sai looking somewhere and painting something in his notebook.

"Hi Sai! Aren't you going to the party? Everybody is there." Sakura aproached him.

"Oh Sakura, no I'm not. I don't even know much people so I could hang out with… And it's a beautiful night full of stars that deserves to be painted." Sai smiled sadly at her.

"Don't be silly! Why didn't you said something? Me, Naruto and Sasu- (Sakura, forget about him), well, we would be glad to have you with us."

"Hum, sorry then. I read in a book we shouldn't invite ourselfs to things, as people should find it annoying and…"

"Let's make a pact for tonight then" Sakura cut him. "I will sit here with you as you finish painting the stars and then you'll go with me to that party have some fun. Yoshi?"

"Hai Sakura" and a bright smile went through his face.

After him painting the stars he offered the drawing to Sakura and fulfilled his part of the pact they had made earlier.

At the party Ino saw Sakura arrive with Sai who looked to everybody finding everything very strange, but he didn't dislike it. Ino dragged away Kiba from the dancefloor and made him go with her aswell to talk to Sakura.

"Sakura is everything ok? Where did you go?" Ino asked worried.

"Yes, everything is ok. I went nowhere special… But I found Sai on my way back here… Now he's in here too, cool un?" Sakura smiled.

"Um, hi" said Sai.

"Well maybe he's the only boy here who isn't a jerk…" replied Ino.

"Hey! I'm here too!" Kiba complained.

"Sorry Kiba. Well now that I know everything is okay let's go to the dancefloor again?"

"Let's go! I mean, Sai want to dance with me?" asked Sakura with a smile.

"Hai. I think it's also part of the pact…" Sai blushed.

They went to the dancefloor. It was playing a slow song. Ino let Kiba grab her waist and left hand as Ino leaned her head on Kiba's shoulder. Sai was nervous but Sakura relaxed him "See Ino and Kiba? You just have to do the same. Don't worry, when you close your eyes and just feel the beat of the song you will know what to do better." And so did Sai what Sakura said. Someone watched them by far.

Sasuke was looking at them. Suddently he felt something on his stomach. A strange feeling. Was he feeling envy of Sai? Wanted to be in his place? To have her head on his shoulder, the one she claimed that loved?

The song was near to it's end. Sakura felt really good while dancing with Sai… As the song was ending, she lift her head from Sai's shoulder. Sasuke went to get a drink at the bar. Sakura and Sai were looking at each others eyes with a blank in their minds… The song now ending had a slower beat. And their heads were also slowly approaching to each other. Sakura closed her eyes, Sai thought he should do the same. Their hearts were beating faster. Their lips were just an inch away… Almost there…

"Ahh!" someone had passed by them pushing Sakura way from Sai, making her almost fall on her back if it wasn't for Sai grabbing her. Sai and Sakura blushed at each other. She then looked back searching, ready to launch a punch in the person that pushed her, who ever they were. She was going to open her mouth to yell at the person but in at the same moment she shut up. Sasuke was the one who pushed her "accidently". They stared at each other intensivly. She looked at him with shock. He didn't seemed to have emotion in his eyes when looked at her. "Is anything wrong?" asked Sai to Sakura. Sasuke gave her a much more colder look then the one before and made his way again to the table. "Nothing. Want to drink something or dance a little bit more?" she responded. "It's your call." said Sai. "Then let's dance a little bit more." she said leaning her head on Sai's shoulder for the second time.
