Hajimemashite and Konnichiwa, dearest reader-san! Apple Fairy here! .
Thank you once again for your reviews everyone! They make me squeel for happiness: )
swimtwins03-Happier than Sasuke? Reminds me how I was going to write him jumping up for joy and screaming 'she said yes!' while he was running home...but then I thought how terribly OOC that would make him...so I didn't write it...but that would be hilarious to imagine, no?
sasusaku4eva101-You're very welcome, dear. : ) And now you don't have to wait any longer...because I have updated!
Sakura4eva-That's all right, dear. As long as you read it I'm fine with it.
PrinceNightFire:Thanks, dear. I thought people would flame me when I made Sasuke the unrequited lovesick fool and Sakura the one who wants nothing more then friendship, but I guess it was a good idea. Besides, the NaruSakus said she'd get over her crush, but they didn't say she'd fall back in love, did they?
final-darkness000-Ha ha! Extremly OOC boy...I think I'm going to call him that in the near future...XD
And yes, I realize he was abit OOC, but as said before I wanted him to be the 'unrequited lovesick fool'. With how lonly he's been, when he's finally found love and then be rejected, he would be sad wouldn't he?
BewareMySpork-
'Sasuke turns away and says something about not getting enough respect'
'Sakura fans herself from the blush'
Oh, and don't get mad at Sakura just because of me. She finally grew up and decided to give up a childish crush and just get to know the guy. Then he goes right out and confesses his love to her! Poor dear, she's just confused.
'heals shot wound' Hm..yes...Itachi will be there! Ha ha...just kidding, don't worry, he won't... .
Silverstar871-Thank you. Your reviews are my favorite to read. : )
And yes! Sasuke adores cookies along with tomatoes and okaki flavored riceballs! (Actually that's true, I read it in a profile.)
Silly, Silverstar, everybody knows cookies are every ninja's favorite food. It's a known fact that even Kakashi will sneak a cookie or two when nobody's looking. XD
Naruto: Okay, we have accuired the subject, tied him up, and made him unconcious!
Sasuke (half-dazed):I'm still awake you idiot.
Kiba:Persistant one he is...who says we beat him up, because trying to save him some of us almost died?
Lee:He made me lose braincells because I had to get drunk!
Shikamaru:He made me break my finger!
Kiba:He made Akamaru suffer!
Chouji:I almost lost my life, because of him!
Shino:He made me feel left out!
Neji:He made me lose some of my precious hair!
'everyone looks at Neji strangely'
Neji:What? It's a very serious matter!
Naruto:Getting away from Neji's weird female-like interests...Let's kick this bastard's ass!
'everyone closes around Sasuke and Sasuke backs away scared'
Sasuke:Now guys...we can talk this out...
Naruto:Get him!
'everyone begins to chase Sasuke in a wild, hilarious, disorderly fashion'
Sakura:Ah! Sasuke!
Apple:Read the disclaimer!
Sakura: Um...Apple does not own Naruto, but she does enjoy the ANs she writes.
Memories
Story by Apple Fairy
I was a fool...
Never knowing this emotion
Everything so new...
And it was all thanks to you...
Well...what's there to say...?
I was young and foolish.
It's a bit embarrising to admit it...
To have finally found out what love was...
Sakura looked to her face, gingerly, in the mirror as her hands traced her cheeks, nose, and forehead. She then proceeded to run her fingers through her short pink-petal hair. She finally came to a conclusion.
She was hideous.
Atleast, she was in her opinion.
Just look at me...she thought mortified...my eyes are dull, my cheeks are fat, my nose is huge, as well as my deformed forehead that's the size of one of the Hokage's stone faces...she noted as she looked out her window to the summit containing the carved faces of the previous Hokage. Sakura sighed as she looked back at herself in the mirror.
Not to mention my hair...she continued...it's just so flat and dead. And the color is just...She stopped searching for an appropriate word.
...it's just so dull and ugly.She finished sadly.
So...how will I look glamorous for my first date...?She thought defeated. Ever since Sasuke asked her last night Sakura couldn't get it out of her mind.
The old Sakura would've jumped for joy for getting a date with her dream boy Sasuke.
But this was the new, more mature Sakura.
And she fretted over it.
I shouldn't of said yes...she regretted...What happened in the hospital...what if he asks me if I love him again...?What will I tell him...? She thought distressed. Sakura looked herself over in the mirror again. Maybe I should worry about that later. For now, how will I look human for my first date?
It was true. This date with Sasuke would be her first date. No boy has ever asked her before. Well, except for Naruto of course, but she didn't show interest in him.
If only I had someone's help...She thought desperatly.
Then Sakura realized. She smiled warmly as she picked up the phone and tapped in the number.
The phone rang three times till somebody finally picked up.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Ino?"
"Yeah?"
"You think you can come over? I got a sort of...dillema on my hands..."
Ino raised her eyebrow skeptically on the other line.
"What sort of...dillema?"
"Fashion."
"I'll be over as soon as I can!" Ino cheered as she hung up.
Sasuke looked at himself in the mirror.
Sasuke is not a particulary vain person to tell the truth, but it has occured to him that having a mirror in his house might be handy.
One of his reasons is if someone were to sneak in his house at night, he could just look into the mirror and identify the intruder. He had many other reasons like that, but it would take too long to list them all now.
But he never thought he'd look into the mirror to prepare for a first date.
Sasuke sighed as he looked at his features in the mirrror again.
I don't see what's so great about my looks...he thought...those fangirls have it completly wrong. I'm not that handsome. He concluded.
Obviously, we all know that's in not true. Sasuke is a very handsome and good-looking boy with a sort of 'bad boy' air around him. He has devilish good looks and a personality that has the girls falling left and right.
He is not even close to plain and dull looks as he finds himself now.
Sasuke sighed once more.
Why the hell am I, Sasuke of the prestigious Uchiha clan, getting so worked up about a first date? I mean. it's not that much of a big deal is it? It's just one simple date with Sakura...Sasuke's face began to redden ...the girl I've been thinking about the last few days...He finished defeated.
Now I know why it's such a big deal...He continued...It's because I love her...He admitted. Sasuke shook his obsidion head.
I thought I couldn't love anyone...I'm an avenger! My only purpose of living is to have revenge against my hated brother Itachi! He thought furiously...For that I must have no attachments to other people! My only goal is to avenge my clan and...to...He trailed off as he remembered his other promise...and to revive my clan...Sasuke sighed.
...Well...I think I just killed that reason...He thought grimly. Sasuke unconciously brought his hand up to the curse mark.
...I said I'd do anything for strength, right? I'd even sell my flesh to the devil for strength. My only purpose to live is to kill him. I have nothing else to care for! Sasuke convinced himself. His eyes grew soft obsidion as he continued with the thought conversation.
So then, why have I fallen in love...? He reminded himself tenderly.
Sasuke looked down as he thought of her. I've gotten so close to her...I've allowed myself to fall in love with her. But...why...why do I love her?Sasuke smiled at himself embarresed in the mirror.
I already know why. Her laughter, her kindness, her eyes...I love everything about her.He finished happily.
It was true, as mentioned before. In his eyes, Sakura wasn't the bubble-headed bimbo she was before. She had matured. She was now a kind, intelligent, mature, young woman. Heck, even when she lost her temper she seemed cute in Sasuke's eyes. She also looked beautiful in his opinion. He loved everything about her.
She's been there for me. She's always cared for me. And now...Sasuke sighed...I've fallen in love with her.
Sasuke soon glared at his reflection as he punched the wall hard.
But now...He continued in an angry tone...she doesn't want any of that. She only desires friendship between us. Just when I realize my feelings...she's already moved on.Sasuke looked at his bruised fist sadly...and I only have myself to blame. Because I've pushed her away all this time...Sasuke sighed as he looked at himself in the miror.
I really need some love advice...I wish I knew someone who could help me...Sasuke thought wearily...Usually a father would provide some help...but apperently I lack one...Sasuke soon escaped from thought as he heard a knock at his door. He went over and opened it and there stood his silver-haired teacher, Kakashi.
"Yo." Kakashi greeted laid-backly. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at his teacher.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked. Kakashi had said he wasn't going to train Sasuke that day, because he was assigned to help with the set up of the festival.
So what's he doing here now...? He thought confused.
"Well, you see we all finished surprisingly quickly with the festival and I have some spare time on my hands and I was thinking I still have the chance to train you today." Kakashi explained as he read his Make-out Paradise book. Sasuke looked at his teacher emotionlessly.
Then it hit him.
"K-Kakashi-sensei..." He began as he looked away awkwardly.
"Hm...?" He questioned as he looked up from his book.
"W-What..." He continued completly mortified by what he was asking.
Kakashi blinked as he looked to his blushing and embarrassed student.For some reason, I don't like where this is going...He thought glumly.
"W-What can you tell me...about...love...?" He asked shyly and awkwardly.
Kakashi's eye widened and if he didn't wear a mask you would've probably seen his mouth gaping. Kakashi's book dropped out of his hands as he looked at Sasuke stunned. Sasuke soon regretted what he asked. Oh great...now I look like an imbicile. I shouldn't of asked that dumb question! He mentally chided himself. Kakashi's cheeks reddedned as he fumbled to pick up his book. He coughed as he looked away from Sasuke.
"Well...erm, that's a very good question...Oh..I knew this day would come..." He finally responded embarressed. Sasuke looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked innocently.
"Well...boys mature, Sasuke, and they soon get over that silly 'cootie' phase. Well, they grow, er, attracted to girls and fall in love. Usually, they go to men who have more experience with the matter. Most likely, their fathers. But..." Kakashi trailed off growing more uncomfortable by the second.
"...your father is...deceased, Sasuke. If that's the matter, then boys would probably go to an Uncle or Grandfather...but, you lack all that as well, thanks to...you-know-who...So, I knew one day you would have no choice but to turn to me..." Kakashi finished as he rubbed the back of his head. Sasuke nodded shyly.
" So...I knew you'd come to me someday...I just didn't think so...soon." He finished as he coughed again. Sasuke nodded and looked to his feet.
"So...do you think you could...tell me...?" He asked emberassed. Kakashi nodded.
"Well...I don't think we should speak of this matter on your doorstep. Shall I come in?" Kakashi asked cooly. Sasuke stepped out of the way for his teacher to enter and closed the door behind him. Kakashi sat himself on a couch and Sasuke sat across from him on another couch; a coffee table between them. Sasuke stared at his feet waiting for his teacher to begin. Kakashi cleared his throat.
"Well...before I begin...Tell me, who's the lucky person to have stolen your heart?" He asked micheviously. Sasuke looked away from his the man across from him.
"A girl..." He began. I can't tell him it's Sakura...he'd probably laugh at me like hell.He thought glumly.
Kakashi's eyebrow raised. Well...he thought...atleast he's not gay...he concluded non-chalantly.
"Her name?" He asked playfully.
"Hmph." Sasuke replied.
"Well, do I know her?" He asked, preparing to play a round of Twenty Questions if he had to.
"Maybe" Sasuke was prepared to make this diffucult for the jounnin.
"Is she a ninja?"
"Yeah"
"Is she your age?"
"Hmph"
"Is she from any type of famous clan?"
"No"
That wipes out Hinata...The Hatake heir concluded.
"Is she a fangirl?"
"Not to my knowledge." Sasuke replied.That's true...she said she didn't want to be a fangirl... Sasuke noted.
Well...Kakashi began...that wipes out most of the girls in Konoha...
"Is...her name Sakura?" He asked cheerfully. Sasuke's eyes widened.
"Y-You shouldn't pry!" Sasuke pointed out angerly. Kakashi smiled underneath his mask.
Hm...I think I hit a sore spot...He pointed out. Kakashi cleared his throat.
"Your right...we should move on. So tell me..." Kakashi trailed off as he rested his chin on his hands and his elbows on his knees "...What's wrong?"
Sasuke gulped.
And began his story of what he and Sakura shared leading up to the acceptence of the date.
Sakura heard a knocking at her door and opened it revealing Ino Yamanaka.
The blonde girl held a make-up kit and a jewelery case.
"Ino has arrived! So, tell me Sakura-chan, what's your beauty problem?" She asked as Ino walked into her house. Ino looked back at her friend and grinned.
"Other than your billboard brow?" She asked playfully. Sakura rolled her eyes at her friend and pushed her jokingly.
"This is serious, Ino. Y'know the festival?" She began. Ino nodded. "Yeah, what about it?" She asked cocking her head to the side.
"Well, I'm going and I wanted to look my best...y'know? So I was wondering if you could help me...?" She explained. Ino raised her eyebrow.
"How do I know you're not just going to go over there gussied up to win Sasuke-kun's heart?" She asked in a curious tone. Sakura sighed I don't need to win his heart...I already did it without trying...
"Please, Ino-!" Sakura began distressed.
Ino burst out in laughter. Sakura looked at her surprised and baffled.
"I was just kidding, Sakura-chan! Don't take it so seriously! Of course I'll help you!" She reassured. Sakura looked to her friend tiredly.
Sometimes she wished she wouldn't be so...
...childish.
"First off..." Ino began as she walked up the stairs to Sakura's room "...when do you plan to get there?" she asked as she set down the make-up kit and jewelery case on the floor.
"Eight." Sakura replied, remembering that's the time Sasuke said he'd pick her up. Ino nodded.
"Right now it's..." Ino peered to the alarm clock "...six o' five. Have you taken a shower today?"
"Yes."
"Take another one. After that we'll work on making you look like every guy's perfect dream girl!" She stated cheerfully.
Sakura nodded as she left for the bathroom. I hope this goes well...She thought wearily.
Ino hummed as she took out a magazine and waited for the girl to finish.
Kakashi stared at Sasuke as he finished explaining everything.
"So...you confessed your love...but she doesn't love you anymore." Kakashi asked. Sasuke nodded solemnly.
"And then you asked her out tonight, she said yes, and...now you're confused?"
"Yeah..."
"I would suspect when the girl of your dreams accepts a date from you, you would be jumping for joy. Yet...you're not..."
"Look! It's not my fault that I fell in love! I didn't know I could! I'm supposed to be an avenger, not some lovesick puppy that gives flowers and chocolates on Valentines Day!" Sasuke yelled in a complaining and confused tone. Kakashi's eye glinted with playfullness.
"That's alright. You're just confused about this new emotion. You've never loved somebody this much have you, Sasuke?" He asked in a laid-back tone. Sasuke looked to him guiltly.
"N-No...I guess I haven't..." He realized.
Kakashi laid back as he laced his fingers together and placed them on his lap.
"Love...is a very complicated emotion, Sasuke. Love inspires us to do great, beautiful, terrible things and a bunch of weird and stupid stuff. Though it is wonderful in so many ways, falling in love can be a very unsettling experience. It makes you lose your common sense, your selfish desires, sense of direction...all that good stuff. Falling in love with someone and actually getting the love back is not the end. It's hard enough taking responsibility for your own feelings, let alone looking after another person's heart as well, right? Sure, you might say 'Who needs all that silly lovey-dovey stuff anyway?' Which is one more reason most people find a reason not to love:Fear. Fear of being hurt, fear of rejection, and fear of losing yourself. Fear is the number-one obstacle of falling in love. But it's something to overcome, Sasuke, because love is worth it. You don't give up yourself when you fall in love. Falling in love means you still get to do everything that made you happy, but now you have the joy of sharing those things with someone else. When you are in love, it means there is always someone to cheer you on when you are the winner...or give warmth and support when you're not. Love gives us the strength to test the boundaries of our weaknesses, knowing that when we get over our heads, a rescue mission is already on the way. In other words, true love overvomes anything and everything. And...it is an emotion that can make you both sad and joyous. It's an emotion to never neglect, though, and there's no way to overcome it. Love is a battle that can never be won. When you fall in love, you lose. But it is a defeat to cherish. When you fall in love, Sasuke, you might question yourself why you allowed yourself to...but you should really ask yourself why you haven't.
To conclude, Love is an emotion that leads to sadness and bliss, that you can hate and cherish, and...that you trust and be betrayed with. It's a wonderful emotion, Sasuke, one that you must never regret falling in." Kakashi finished.
Kakashi sighed loudly. Boy...I hope I explained it good, cause I think I just confused myself...He thought glumly.
Sasuke sat there looking down and soaking in all the information. Sasuke looked up to his teacher emotionlessly.
"But...why doesn't she love me back...? If I am in love...then why does it hurt when I realize she doesn't love me back...?" He asked weakly. Kakashi smiled warmly behind his mask.
"She's confused, Sasuke. She doesn't know if she should love you back or to stay by her promise of 'friendship only'. Don't worry, if she loves you back then she'll tell you. If she doesn't...then you'll find out what heartbreak is." He ended cheerfully. Sasuke looked to his teacher annoyed.
Kakashi glanced to the wall clock.
"Sasuke..." Kakashi called.
"Hm?"
"What time did you say you were going to pick her up?"
"Eight."
"It's six thirty."
"So?"
"What exactly are you going to wear to your first date?"
"Didn't think about it."
Kakashi sighed. Sasuke looked at him confused.
"What?" He asked the jounnin.
"Have you taken a shower today?"
"I take one at night."
"Go take one now."
"What?"
"Go take one now. I'll look for something nice for you to wear on your fist date."
"But-!"
"Sensei's orders" Kakashi ordered micheviously.
Sasuke looked to his master annoyed once again.
"Fine, whatever." He agreed defeated as he walked to his bathroom.
Kakashi sighed when he heard the water turn on.
This boy...so very naive in the art of love. I hope I never have to give an explenation like that again. Kakashi's eyes widened.Note to self...let Jiriaya give Naruto the lecture...He thought tiredly as he went to Sasuke's room to look for a good outfit.
Sakura walked out of the shower room in a long pink-plaid bathrobe, her hair tied up, and her feet bare. Sakura opened the door to her bedroom to spot Ino looking over the clothes hanging in her closet.
Ino turned her head to her.
"There you are! All clean, now, aren't we?" She greeted sweetly. Sakura smiled to her.
"Ino, what're you looking for?" She asked when she motioned to the sapphire-eyed girl who was looking through the various clothing.
"I'm looking for your yukata. Y'know, your summer kimono?" She informed as she looked through the closet.
"Oh, that? It's under my bed in the white box." She informed. Ino looked over to her.
"Well, why didn't you say so?" She asked as she walked over to her bed and pulled out the white container.
Ino opened the lid and there sat a butterfly decorated kimono in pastel colors. The background was a pale pink and the various butterflies that scattered the kimono were in pastel blue, peach, pink, and light orange. The obi was also a brightish pink. Overall the yukata looked innocent and gentle.
"Sakura-chan...it's so cute!" Ino approvalled. Sakura smiled.
"Thanks. I was thinking of getting a cherry blossom one, but that would be obvious wouldn't it? Besides, I have a winter one with the same design." She explained with a little proudness in her voice. Ino smiled.
"Go sit on that chair." She pointed to the desk chair she positioned in front of Sakura's body-length mirror. Sakura did so and Ino walked over with a hair brush and comb.
"First off, the abnormaly pink hair." she stated jokingly. Sakura rolled her eyes.
"It's not my fault it's pink..." she mumbled to herself as Ino brushed her semi-wet hair.
When Ino finished combing out all the tangles, water, and made it all straight and shiny she then proceeded to tie it up in a low ponytail and add a light purple barrette with three little pink flowers on it to hold up one side of her bangs. Sakura noticed the barrette.
"Wow...it's cute, Ino. Where'd you get it? And why not butterflies instead of flowers?" She asked looking at it. Ino smiled.
"I've had this thing for awile. You can have it. And besides, more butterflies would be overdoing it." She shrugged. Sakura looked to friend surprised.
"Thanks, Ino-chan." she smiled gratefully. Ino grinned back.
"Now, on to makeup!" She cheered as she got out her make-up kit.
Ino got out some blush and added some to her cheeks.
"Knowing you, you probably don't need much. Some blush and some pale pink lipstick will do..." she commented as she added some of the lipstick. Sakura didn't really like to wear make-up much.
But it seems I have no choice...she concluded as Ino finished.
"There! Now, put on your yukata. I'll be waiting outside in the hall." She ordered as she walked outside waiting for her friend. Sakura looked down at the yukata and picked it up.
This is it. I'm actually going on a date with Sasuke-kun, aren't I?She thought as she looked at the yukata. I guess I'm really not dreaming...She noted as she began to untie the bathrobe.
Kakashi picked up the boy's yukata he found. It was a dark blue with a black obi and it held the uchiha fan symbol on the back. Kakashi sighed.
These people sure do love their clan...He noted as he laid the clothing on Sasuke's bed.
Kakashi walked over to the bathroom and knocked on the door.
"Sasuke."
"What?" He called over the running water.
"I picked your outfit. When your done with your shower, wear it. I don't want any complaints out of you."
"Hmph."
Kakashi sighed.
Difficult one he is...He commented as he walked over to the couch he sat on before and pulled out his Make-Out Paradise book.
"Ino, you can come in." Sakura called from the other side of the door.
Ino opened the door and looked at the simple and gorgeous site before her.
"Sakura-chan! You look so beautiful! Oh my gosh, I didn't know you'd look so good in a kimono!" She commented as she looked her over.
Sakura smiled.
"Thanks, Ino-chan." She said imply.
"Now..." Ino trailed off again "...for the shoes. Lucky for you, I brought one of my most cutest pairs that might fit you." She informed as she ran over to her make-up case which was large enough for any other accesories needed.
Ino brought out a pair of thick-soled, pastel peach zori (sandals) with bright pink straps. Sakura gasped.
"Oh, Ino! They're so adorable!" She commented happily.
"I knew you'd like them." She grinned.
Sakura glanced to the clock.
"It's seven forty one..." She pointed out "...what should we do to kill time?" she asked. Ino smiled.
"I knew we'd probably have extra time that's why I brought some playing cards." She announced as she held up the pack of cards.
"Wanna play Go Fish?" Sakura suggested.
"Okay." Ino agreed as she sat down with the pink haired girl and shuffled the deck.
Kakashi glanced up from his book as he heard the footsteps.
Sasuke walked from the hallway into the living room showing the new outfit he wore. Kakashi's eye widened and he nodded approvingly.
"It looks good." He commented in an upbeat tone.
"I feel stupid." Sasuke argued angerly. Kakashi sighed.
"Is there no pleasing you?" He sighed as he walked up to the boy and straightned the yukata abit.
"Hn." Sasuke responded emotionlessly as Kakashi straightened the neckline. Sasuke pushed away.
"It's fine." He argued. Kakashi smiled at the boy.
"Just making sure you look good for your first date." He affirmed as he patted the Uchiha-heir's shoulder. Sasuke looked away from him as he glanced at the clock. His obsidion eyes widened.
"Dammit! It's seven fifty one!" He panicked as he ran behind Kakashi. Kakashi looked to him calmly.
"I would wear the geta wooden sandals if I were you. Don't forget your house key as well. That'd be a mess to be locked out of your house. Oh! And don't forget to bring money. You'd look like a cheap date without it." He adviced as Sasuke ran to his room for the money. It was obvious the boy was a bit panicked and nervous.
Sasuke ran past his teacher, slipped on the sandals, and darted out the door. Kakashi sighed.
"He even forgot I'm here. Ah...young love...it's cute and hectic, no?" He asked no one in particular as he closed his book and walked out the door locking it as he did.
Sakura waved back to Ino who had to get to the flower shop. Sakura looked to her watch.
It's eight o' five...where is he...? She thought panicked as she stood in front of her house. Sakura was beginning to worry.
What if I get stood up? What if he forgets? What if...Sakura stopped in mid-thought...he really doesn't love me and just did this to be cruel...?She thought helplessly. Sakura shook her head.
No, Sasuke isn't that type of person! H-He would have more honor than that, right? So I don't need to worry so much! She chided herself. Sakura looked at her watch again.
It's eight ten...She noted.
Maybe I should've never accepted this date. Who knows what will happen. He might ask me if I love him again! What do I say then? A part of me wants to be 'just friends' and another wants to love him. Oh! I knew this date was a stupid idea! Now look, I'm standing outside my house alone and...Sakura realized...I forgot my purse! Oh, stupid stupid Sakura! She mentally chastised herself as she ran into her house and grabbed her cream-colored drawstring purse. Let's see...she thought as she opened the bag...money, housekey, handkerchief, some borrowed makeup...She listed the contents nervously.
Sasuke walked to Sakura's house as quickly as he could. When he arrived there he noticed Sakura was nowhere to be found. Sasuke looked at the dissappearing sun.
Telling by the sun's position ot should eight thirteen...He noted as he looked around with shifting eyes.
So where is she...? He thought as he looked around worringly.
I told her to be here right? At eight. Maybe she's still inside, no, she can't be in there. She would've been out here by now. Sasuke told himself.
But...maybe she forgot...or maybe I'm being stood up...Sasuke's eyes widened ...that's probably it. She never would of wanted to go on this date anyway...right? I just asked so out-of-the-bluely...and that time at the hospital...Sasuke sighed. ...that would probably be a reasonable thing to do...to stand up someone you don't really love...Nice going, Sasuke...He convinced himself as he began to turn and walk home.
"Sasuke-kun...?"
Sasuke's head shot up and he turned around to see her. Sasuke's face went warm as he noted how trully beautiful she looked in her yukata.
Sakura held a look of sweet simplicity. The yukata wrapped around her body her body snuggly showing off a bit off her figure while still looking traditional. Her hair ted up sheened beautifully and the barrette looking a bit pratical and cute.
Sakura herself felt her face blush as she noted how handsome Sasuke looked.
The navy yukata wrapped around him painting a picture of utterly gourgeous masculinity.
Sasuke gulped.
"H-Hey, Sakura...I know I'm late...sorry for that..." He alpoligized in a struggled tone. Sakura shook her head.
"No...that's fine..." She forgave shyly. Sasuke looked to her confidently.
"Shall we go?" He asked. Sakura looked to him with curious and innocent emerald eyes.
"O-Of course..." She replied as she walked to him, and the two walked to the festival grounds together.
So know the fated night begins. The two taking the night off for their jobs as actors and allowing to show their feelings once and for all.
Will the consequences be fortunate or terrible...?
Only time shall tell.
But that is a different past to recall. Maybe when we receive another chance.
Well, that's the end to chapter five! I hope you enjoyed it.
If you wish to call this a pointless chapter, I shall not blame you. I've just always wished to show a young couple getting ready for their first dates once in my life. :3
The size of one of the Hokage's stone faces...I was going to put Mount Rushmore but since that doesn't exist I put the closest thing they've got...the Hokage's face summit. XD
Hm...Sasuke lacks a father to explain 'love' to him and I think Kakashi is a sort of father-like figure to him, no?
Oh! And most of Kakashi's explenation on love is taken from lines in a book called 'The Simple Truth About Love'. It's a book I own and I highly recommend reading it. :)
Hm...I tried to make Sasuke a grump about most of this to make him not too OOC...but I'm afraid I might of made him even more OOC...Goodness gracious...-.-;
Kakashi...might be a bit OOC too I'm afraid...I'm terribly sorry for all of this...
Ino helping Sakura...she seems to be a very fashion-wise girl and I wanted to show some girl-friendship while I was at it...x3
Well, thank you once again for reading! Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful day!
