Don't You Remember Me?: 20
Sakura awoke from the most disturbing sleep she had ever had in her life. She sat up in her bed and looked around at her room. She had just had a dream of Naruto dumping her for Rei and these other bitches. Dream, more like nightmare. It was about 10 in the morning. She sighed and stretched out the soreness in her body and rose to take a shower. Sakura did her daily routine and looked for clothes to wear.
Finally Sakura made her way downstairs and into the kitchen.
" Good Morning dad!" Sakura said happily as she hugged him good morning. Teike just smiled at his daughter as she sat down and poured herself some cereal. It was quiet until Sakura asked,
" Hey dad?"
He looked at her questioningly,
" Hm?"
" Do you think it'd be ok if the girls came over to get ready for the dance over here?"
Teike looked at his daughter and smiled.
" Of course they can sweetie.." Sakura smiled gleefully and got up to hug him.
" Thanks dad!"
He smiled, but then a look of guilt overtook his facial features.
Sakura took note of this and said,
" Hm? What's up dad?"
He looked at her and said,
" Sakura.. I know that you haven't really gotten used to Caira.. And I'm sorry about that.."
Sakura was blown away, she would never think he would ever say this to her about her evil stepmother.
" Dad.. It's ok-"
" No it's not Sakura.. I should have asked you how you would feel about it.. I never did.. I'm sorry.." Teike looked truly sorry for not asking her for permission to marry this women.
Sakura couldn't help but feel worried. Why would he suddenly just say this to her out of the blue.
" It's ok dad.. I know you were missing mom and you needed help to put up with me.. I understand.."
" But I know that you don't like her.. I'm sorry that I couldn't replace your mother's spot with someone we could both like.."
Now Sakura was really worried.
" Dad.. Are you alright?"
Teike's face showed remorse and dread, but he faked a smile and said,
" Of course I am honey.. Why wouldn't I be?"
Sakura still doubted him, but she sighed and took it in.
" Oh, it's nothing.. I have to go call up the girls, I'll see you later dad.."
" Oh Sakura dear.. I'm going on a trip this weekend so I won't be able to see you off to the dance."
" Ok dad.. I love you.."
" Bye sweetie.." He hugged her and kissed her forehead, saying his goodbye's until next week.
As Sakura was walking up to her room, she took one last look back at her dad..
I hope you're ok dad..
Sakura walked up to her room and called the girls over. At about 1 they came over to get ready for the dance. Now it was about 7 and the dance started at 8. Sakura was really excited for the dance, especially since she was going with Naruto, her best friend.
The doorbell rang, making all of the girls squeal in excitement. If you didn't know this is who everyone is going with: TenTen with Neji, Hinata with Kiba, Matsuri with Kankuro, Kumiko with Sasuke, yes Sasuke bastard.., and Sakura with Naruto.
Anyways, the girls made their way gracefully down the stairs to their dates. Kumiko was the first one down with her dark green dress and her matching heels. Her hair was wavy and half up, with her bangs side swept to finish the look. She wore eyeliner and mascara with a candies necklace. She also wore a very entrancing perfume. Sasuke just ogled her, the boy he is, but he turned back to his 'fuck the world' attitude as she made her way towards him.
Then came TenTen. She too wore a green dress, but it was a little longer thank Kumiko's and it was a lighter shade of green. He hair was down and straightened with her long bangs curled at the ends to finish it with style. She wore black heels and little make up. She also wore a black necklace to go with her shoes and her black bangles. She made her way to Neji, who was just staring in awe at his girlfriend.
" You.. You look.."
" Thanks, you look pretty good too Neji!" TenTen smiled, while Neji just blushed scarlet.
Up next was Hinata with her dark purple dress, it was a little shorter than TenTen's but not by much. She wore white heels and a diamond necklace with diamond earrings. She had her hair curled, it was up in a messy bun though, but it was elegant in every way. She wore little make up but it suited her and she came down smiling at her boyfriend. His mouth was open in surprise, while Hinata strolled over and closed it for him. He smirked, while she blushed.
Then came Matsuri. She was wearing a light brown spaghetti strapped dress, that had a slit cut through the side of her dress. She had her hair half up but it was also curled at the ends. She wore matching heels with a silver hoop necklace with a little eyeliner and mascara. Kankuro was amazed that he would end up with this girl, the girl that his younger brother had fallen for. As she made her way towards him, he smirked in an arrogant way, causing Matsuri to scowl.
Finally, we have Sakura. She looked down at everyone with their dates. When she finally found those cerulean blue eyes that had entranced her to no end, she smiled. She found his eyes wide in astonishment and awe, causing Sakura to only blush at how he saw her. She kept on smiling, wearing a black spaghetti strapped dress that was longer on her right side, than her left. She also wore red heels with a red choker and red, black, and silver bangles. Her hair was down and it was curled, side swept bangs to finish off the look. She also wore eyeliner and mascara, but not in slutty way. To Naruto, as she walked towards him, she looked beautiful..
She smiled at him, which only made Naruto even more nervous than when he first got here.
" You.. You look beautiful.. Sakura.." Naruto said, as he took her hand.
Sakura blushed at his comment. She felt her heart racing faster than ever before. She nodded her head, and said,
" ..Er, you look very nice too.. Naruto." Naruto smiled at her and led her outside to his car, which was a very nice dark blue mustang, I must add..
" We'll see you there Naruto.." Neji yelled out to him, he nodded.
Somewhere Unknown..
" You have failed me again."
" Please forgive me Lord Oroachimaru.."
" It is ok Rei.. You will have a chance to redeem yourself soon, so soon that you will have redeemed yourself by the end of the night tonight."
" Thank you my Lord."
Then, one of Oroachimaru's snakes appeared at the corner of the dimly lit room. Oroachimaru smirked as the snake slithered towards it's master.
" Rei.. I have a feeling that you really do not wish to proceed with our plan tonight.. Is-s that right..?" Oroachimaru asked her.
She did not meet her master's eyes. She really wished not to anger him about her wishes of not going with the plan that they had been planning for over a year already.
" It's just that.. Are you sure we should do this..? My Lord.." Rei asked, head bowed in courtesy.
A wicked smirk found it's way onto his lips.
" Why wouldn't we proceed with the plan young Rei?"
" Um.. Mayb-be it's too early or-"
" Or maybe you have fallen for the Uzumaki boy, hm?" Oroachimaru asked.
Rei gulped at his question but said,
" Of course I wouldn't fall for the likes of him, he is a demon!"
It was quiet for awhile, tears were threatening to fall down her cheeks. She really wished not to go on with the plan. It was something she really dreaded with dealing with.
" Then you should not be asking if this is-s right.. Proceed with the plan, we s-strike tonight.." Oroachimaru ordered.
" Hai.."
As Rei made her way to the door, Oroachimaru said one final thing to her.
" Oh, and Rei.. If I find that you have betrayed me in anyway, I will kill you personally.."
The door was open, as Rei peered out into the dimly lit hallway. But it was not so dark that you couldn't see the tear that was sliding down her cheek, her eyes widened in fear.
" H-Hai.."
With that she left, leaving the snake to himself.
At the Dance..
The gym was decorated so beautifully, it didn't look like the gym anymore. As soon as they had entered the gym, music was booming throughout it. The song Low had just ended, while the song Until the end of Time began.
Naruto stuck out his hand, and said,
" May I have this dance?" He said in a voice that drove Sakura's heart to beat faster.
She smiled at him and gave him her hand.
" You may." Naruto smiled as he pulled her out onto the dance floor and pulled her close.
Sakura felt her heart race as he held her close, in an embrace that she had wished he hold her in since the first time she saw those eyes this year. She laid her head on his chest and felt herself melt in his arms. She blushed as she felt his arms around her tightened.
Naruto was surprised to see that Sakura had laid her head on his chest, but he smiled at the girl and held her closer, leaning his chin on her sweet smelling hair.
The song ended, making Sakura only believe the lyrics of the song for once in her life. She smiled up at Naruto as he asked her outside. She nodded in agreement, only wondering what he wanted to talk to her about.
He led her to the top of the hill that stood in the back of the school. On it stood a lone Sakura blossom tree, and the full moon could be seen clearly from there.
It was a beautiful scene and Sakura wondered if Naruto planned this. Fireflies flew through the night air, and stars twinkled in the distance. Sakura couldn't help but be blown away at how romantic this was. Sakura blushed as she realized that Naruto was doing this for her, and to her knowledge, he has never done this to any other girl before.
He sat down, and pulled Sakura down with him. She felt his eyes on her and she couldn't get rid of her blush.
Naruto couldn't keep his eyes off of her, the moonlight hit her so beautifully and she looked so beautiful with her hair blowing slightly in the wind. But to Naruto, she always looked this beautiful. He couldn't keep this in any longer, he had to tell her.
Slowly, he grabbed her hand, bringing her eyes to meet his. He smiled slightly, as Sakura held his hand tighter. With more confidence, Naruto said,
" Sakura.. Do you remember me?"
Sakura was at first puzzled by his question, but then it hit her. Didn't I ask the same thing to him at the beginning of the year?? Wait.. Does this mean..?
Sakura's eyes widened as realization hit her.
Flashback-
It was another night that Sakura and Naruto had when they were outside watching the stars. Sakura and Naruto had just seen a shooting star.
" Oo! A shooting star! Let's make a wish Naruto!" Sakura said. Both of the children closed their eyes tight, wishing for something with all their might..
Then something made Sakura's heart heavy in worry.
" Hey'a Naruto?" Sakura asked, sitting up, a finger on her lips, she pouted. This made Naruto blush at how cute she looked.
" Yeah Sakura-Chan?" Naruto too sat up and looked at his best friend, he noted the sadness in her voice, for she was happily yelling about a shooting star only a moment ago.
She looked down at her feet, scared of Naruto's answer.
" Do you think that we'll always be friends?"
Naruto looked at Sakura with worry, but he smiled and said,
" Of course I do Sakura-Chan.. Why would you ask that?" This made Sakura look up at him, worry still etched into her young face.
" .. Well, my daddy just got a promotion, but that would mean I would have to move.."
Naruto felt his heart hurting at this news, but he slowly pulled a smile onto his face.
" Of course we would still be friends.. Sakura-Chan.. I promise we'll always be best friends! -"
Sakura couldn't help but feel better by his reassurance that they would be friends forever.
Naruto was about to say something else, but stopped and he blushed.
" What Naruto? What else were you going to say?"
Naruto blushed a deeper shade of red.
" ..I was going to promise.. That we would one day.. Get married and be together forever.." Naruto stated nervously.
Sakura blushed, she was so young, but she still loved Naruto so much.. Even if they were really young, and even if it was just in a sibling love at the time.
But Sakura smiled at him, and gave him a hug, filled with her love for her him.
" Then I promise that too.."
This made Naruto blush deep red as she gave him an innocent kiss on the cheek.
They both looked back up at the sky, another shooting star crossing the star filled sky.
She looked over at Naruto and thought of their promise. She smiled, and wished.
'I wish that Naruto's and my wish will come true..'
End of Flashback-
" I..?" Sakura didn't know what to say.
" Because I do remember you.. Sakura.. Chan.." Naruto said, giving her a look as if saying ' I know you know what I mean.'
Sakura was finally understanding what he meant.
She nodded and said,
" But the real question is.. Do you remember our promise?" She asked, her eyes sparkled in the moonlight.
Naruto was so blown away by her question, and it surprised him that she remembered it so easily, but he smiled and said,
" Of course I do.. Sakura-Chan.."
A shooting star flew throughout the sky.
She smiled, her heart was mended by his words. Sakura then found herself searching for something. She finally found what she was searching for; she yearned for his lips to be on her so much right now. But does he love me more than a friend?
Naruto felt the need for her lips to be on his right now, he couldn't fight the urge no longer. But does she love more than a friend?
'Were You Right?
Was I wrong?
Were you weak?
Was I strong?
Yeah, both of us broken,
Caught in the moment.'
He moved slowly towards her. She slowly moved towards him.
'We lived,
And we loved,
And we hurt,
And we joked,
Yeah..
We live tonight!'
Sakura's heart was beyond melting as she felt him come closer to her lips. She closed her eyes, wishing only that it was not a dream.
Naruto felt her warm breath tickle his lips, only making him want her oh so much more. He also smelled her cherry perfume that it blew his mind away.
Naruto was only inches from her lips and he couldn't keep this feeling down any longer. He kissed her..
It was like nothing either of them had experienced, it was like an explosion of emotions they both felt for each other ever since the met and since the beginning of the year.
Sakura immediately reacted and kissed him back.
After a few simple kisses, Naruto decided to ask for entrance into her mouth, which she obliged to. She responded to him by throwing her arms around his neck, he sliding a hand around her waist and the other behind her head.
In the distance, the song continued to play in the gym, but because of the circumstances of the two, they didn't even hear it.
'And just like that..
The Chemicals React..
Yeah,
Yeah,
Yeah..
The Chemicals react..'
As another shooting star crossed the sky, Sakura and Naruto could only think, I love you..
