Sasuke's POV

Day 3

I walked into school, with my head held high. Today would be a good day; that I would be sure of. With only twenty-seven more days, I need to devise a plan that can get her to go out with me and fast. The more time it takes for me to actually get her to like me, the less time I have for her to 'bond' with me. Damn Orochimaru, complicating things.

I made sure to do what humans would call 'spend extra time in the mirror' to make myself look better. Smell better, etc. Humans are incredibly self centered always needing to see themselves in the mirror, when in reality no one cares if they look like shit, or if there's a little pimple on a forehead.

As I enter homeroom and take my rightful seat next to Sakura's desk, I get a sudden pang of nervousness. I am unaware of how this occurred but all I know is that it better dissipate quickly, like before she arrives. I do not act well when I am nervous. The homeroom bell rings, and she walks in a millisecond too late. The teacher doesn't notice.

She is out of breath as she plops rather rudely down in her seat. She rummages through her bag for a second and turns to look at me. Her smile temporarily knocked me off guard. She held out her hand delicately, my phone cupped in her soft palm. I took the phone gently, and our fingers brushed. Time stopped and my breath hitched. How could this girl cause such an intense reaction out of me, from such a simple and innocent touch?

Now I know that I do not know Sakura well, or she doesn't think I know her well (because I actually know her very well). Even still, I feel compelled to ask her out today. This will be the magical day. If she says no then I turn to force. I will have my way no matter what. However, if she says yes, I must prepare myself to be a good 'boyfriend'. I lower my head, allowing my eyes to peak through my bangs. Our proximity decreases to nearly nothing. I allow my hot breath to tickle her face, my sweet breath obviously taking a toll on her head. She is becoming dizzy. My voice is low and seductive as I speak.

"Arigato." I say huskily. I am proud of my work. The result of my attempted seduction is evident. Sakura's cheeks flame red. Her eyes widen a fraction of an inch, and she leans back slightly to take a breath. She stutters as she replies.

"N-no problem." Her voice is breathless.

I give her a smirk, flashing my pearly white teeth. She clears her throat.

"Don't forget it next time; usually I'm not so observant with these things. I might not notice it."

I decided to have a little fun before I asked her out.

"Next time?" my eyebrow arched faintly. She was completely taken aback by my response. The poor girl couldn't even form a coherent thought, let alone sentence at the minute. She huffed and sat back in her chair, attempting to focus on what the teacher was saying. When did he even start lecturing the class? Five minutes ago? Ten…fifteen? Her gaze slowly met mine; her body still facing the teacher. She allowed her cheeks to display a smile on her face, despite her earlier frustration. I gave her a crooked smile in return and broke eye contact. My fingers found pen and paper and I began to write. It needed to be simple, yet eloquent. Tch, screw that. I'll do it my way and still get her. The pen glided across the paper.

Friday, 8pm. Movies?

There, perfect. I folded the note over and wrote her name on top like a sixth grader. She seems to like childish and innocent behavior.

I stealthily slid the note to her desk and continued to watch the teacher. My heart pounded heavily, regardless of me knowing her decision. Through my peripheral vision, I spotted the astounding smile that graced her lips as her eyes delicately scanned my handwriting. She eagerly picked her pencil and began writing back. Her arm stretched as far as it would go to slide the note into my hand that was on the desk. Again, our hands touched. It was magical.

God listen to me, I sound like a lovesick puppy. I keep telling myself that my nervousness/excitement is because the further I get with her, the closer I am to roaming the Earth once again.

I hesitantly unfolded the note in my lap.

Yes. :P

There, it was done. I refolded the note and put it in my back pocket. I couldn't help the sly smile that was plastered on my face the rest of the day.

Mission: Get Sakura to like me, Passed.

Sakura's POV

So I found out today that Sasuke is a creeper and he does like me. I have come to the conclusion that I am okay with him being a creeper, because he's so hot. Hm, what movie will we see? Will he pay? What will I wear? Oh god, it's going to take me the whole week to figure this one out. I am like freaking out in my room, not even bothering to pay any attention to my homework whatsoever.

I need to learn to contain myself too. I mean it's so obvious that he gets to me. He knows how much he affects me and he likes it. I saw that triumphant smirk he wore after I agreed. Psh, what a guy.

I feel a sudden urge to let loose all of my pent up excitement by dancing. So I turned on my ipod, put it in the iHome and hit shuffle. Now I prided myself on my flamboyant taste in the musical arts. My songs ranged from ear-splitting screams and killer guitar solos to premade fake beats with inappropriate lyrics that girls somehow love to classical music to Justin Timberlake to The Used. I drew the line at country music; my one hatred.

Before I knew it, I had danced for over three hours, effectively tiring myself out. I turned off my ipod and plopped down on my bed, trying so desperately to catch my breath. I felt a soft fuzzy thing rubbing against my side. It crawled atop my stomach and rest there comfortably. I smiled and pet my cat's head gently.

"Midnight." I giggled as her nose burrowed into my belly button, tickling me slightly. She purred contently. After a few moments of me stroking her behind the ear, her breathing became even. She yawned once before she curled up and slept. I grabbed my pillow and blanket, pulling it over us.

"Goodnight Midnight." I said as I shut the light off and dreamt sweet dreams about my date with Sasuke.

Sasuke's POV

I watched from Sakura's closet as she danced and danced. Her hips swung methodically and mesmerizingly. I couldn't take my eyes off them. I listened with my acute hearing to each song and memorized that out of all her music, alternative and rock was her primary preference. Although I must say that she had quite the eclectic taste in music.

For a moment I was sure she caught me, but then her cat flew out from behind me and jumped atop her. Hm, I wasn't aware that she had a cat. In fact, I wasn't aware that anyone lived with her. I – in all the times that I have been here – have never once seen Sakura's parents. I pitied her, what if she had none? What if they had died, like mine? What if they were murdered? Does she seek the same revenge that I had?

I flashed back to the moment I died, watching as even in death we both let our parents down. Even in death, Itachi had to have the last laugh.

"Foolish brother," he had said. I collapsed shortly after.

Once she had fallen asleep, I crept out of the closet and stood at her bedside watching her sleep. I have come to observe that Sakura is a sleepwalker. There were many occasions where I thought I'd been caught but it was just her sleepwalking. The other night, she even looked straight at me and hugged me. It was nice despite my panic. Her body felt warm. Tonight, however, she slept peacefully without a movement. I suspect since her cat is here she feels some fort of comfort. Her pale face resembled a porcelain doll her soft locks lightly brushing over her cheeks.

By touching her face to wipe away her bangs, I was taking a great risk. I couldn't help myself; she was too beautiful for a human. Angel-like.

My hand froze against her forehead as her emerald eyes slowly opened. Playing it cool, I leaned in and brushed my lips to her cheek, then her nose. My lips left butterfly kisses along her jaw and stopped at her ear.

"Shhh." I gently whispered in her ear she whimpered slightly, causing my breath to hitch. My hands rubbed circles on her temples; soothing.

"Sas…uke…kun?" her voice was hush.

If I played it cool, she could just think it be a dream by the time she wakes.

"Yes?" I whispered huskily, licking her ear. She sighed contently and leaned into my touch.

"Mmm." With that she fell back into a deep slumber.

A stood up straight and sighed in relief. I stared at the cat on her stomach which was wide awake. The cat hissed loudly and spat at me. My brows furrowed. This cat better shut the hell up. I leaned down and flicked the cat lightly on the ear. Not enough to hurt, just enough to annoy.

Deciding that I've risked my fate enough for one night, I dashed out the window and returned to my own home.

A/N- sorry that it was mostly sasuke's POV in this chapter. I'll make sure to put more sakura in the next chapter. Review please 3
