Chapter 5: Sakura's answer! Yes or No?

The day was hot and sunny as Sakura and the gang was heading to the beach for a day of fun. They got to the beach dropped there stuff down and went to the water. Ino and Tenten were splashing each other with water while Naruto and Hinata were building a sand castle. Sakura, Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru were sitting at the table.

"I'm going to get us some drinks kay? Be right back!" Sakura said happily.

"Want me to go with you?" Sasuke said looking at Sakura.

"No, that's fine; I'll only take a minute." Sakura said and walked off.

"Ah, the nice fresh air…" Sakura said walking to get drinks for her and her friends.

"Well, look who we have here?" Sakura heard a voice say and turned around to see no other then Karin and her friends.

"Karin, what the hell are you doing here?" Sakura hissed at the hated girl.

"Nothing, it's a public beach, not like you own it bitch." Karin said glaring at Sakura who was about to punch the crap out of Karin, but decided against it, not wanting to cause a scene.

"Where is Sasuke-kun Sakura, aren't you guys suppose to be going out?" Karin said still glaring at the pink haired girl.

"Sakura, there you are, I was looking all over for you." Sasuke said as on cue taking Sakura's hand. Sakura sighed in relief and looked at Sasuke and mouth a thank you.

"Yeah, if you don't mine, we're going to go have fun." Sakura said pulling Sasuke away towards the table, as Karin and her friends got a table not far from Sasuke and Sakura's. They saw Tenten and Ino running towards them.

"Neji come on, the ocean is so refreshing." Tenten said and dragged Neji towards the water.

"Shikamaru come build a sandcastle with me!" Ino said trying to drag her boyfriend off the chair.

"Ino, that's such a drag, I don't want to…"

"YOU'RE COMING GOT IT." Ino said with a mad look that turned into a smile when Shikamaru nodded and followed Ino.

"Sasuke, you want to go take a walk with me?" Sakura asked Sasuke who looked totally bored sitting there alone.

"Sure." Sasuke got up from the chair and followed Sakura. They walked down to where the small wave was and walked on the side of it. Sakura was occasionally kicking water which got Sasuke's legs wet.

"Stop kicking would ya?" Sasuke said looking at his swim shorts that were wet when he didn't even go swimming yet.

"Why? Scared of a little water are we?" Sakura said jumping up and landing with a huge splash that got Sasuke t-shirt and shorts wet.

"Oh, you're going to get it." Sasuke said chasing Sakura, who got a head start,

"Hey, you're not supposed to hit a girl!" Sakura yelled back at Sasuke who wasn't far behind her.

"I didn't say anything about hitting." Sasuke said getting closer Sakura and splashed a big wave of water on her getting her pink two piece swim suit wet.

"Hey! That's not fair!" Sakura said kicking water in front of Sasuke's face. He spit some water out of his mouth and shook his head a little to get the water out of his hair which was sticking to his face. Sakura was laughing at Sasuke so hard she didn't realize that he had pushed her until she felt herself move. Her eyes widened as she fell butt first into the water hair and all getting wet. Now it was Sasuke's time to laugh. Sakura rubbed the water from her eyes and glared at the still laughing, Sasuke.

"That's not fair!" Sakura whined.

"What do you mean that's not fair-"Sasuke didn't get to finish his sentence because Sakura pulled him down into the water with her. Sasuke pushed back his wet raven colored hair and glared at Sakura who was looking at him with that innocent look that made him forget all his anger. They both started laughing and helped each other up. They played some more in the water until both were soaking wet.

"Now my clothes are all wet see what you did Sakura!" Sasuke said taking off his white t-shirt to reveal a very nice body. Sakura's mouth dropped open seeing Sasuke's strong muscles. Sasuke looked at Sakura who closed her mouth quickly and smiled a nervous smile.

"Is…something the matter?"

"No, No nothing at all!" Sakura stammered. There was an awkward silence between the two. Sakura couldn't take it anymore so she kicked water, unexpectedly at Sasuke and started running and laughing, followed by a very pissed off Sasuke.

"Get back here!" Sasuke yelled to the cherry blossom that just turn back and stuck her tongue out. Sasuke ran faster until he was close to Sakura and circled his arms around her waist holding her back from running.

"Hey, let go!" Sakura said to Sasuke trying to pull Sasuke's arm from her waist. She leaned back a bit and blushed different shades of red when she felt his strong chest supporting her. Sasuke let go as Sakura turned around and locked her eyes with the Uchiha. They stared at each other for a minute, that's when Sakura noticed Sasuke was lower his head, near her lips. She smiled and closed her eyes ready for the moment to happen. Sasuke lips brushed Sakura's when someone called out Sasuke's name. They jerked away from each other blushing deep red.

"Sasuke-kun!" They both say Karin running over to where they were.

"That bitch…" Sakura said eyes burning with fury. She was ready to beat Karin to a bloody pulp, when Sasuke put his hand on her shoulder to hold her back.

"What do you want?" Sasuke said with an angry tone to Karin.

"Nothing, just wanted to say hi." Karin said smirking knowing she did it so she could prevent Sasuke and Sakura to kiss.

"Loser," Sasuke said and walked off followed by Sakura. They walked some distance from where they were earlier. There was again awkward silence; Sakura looked up at the Uchiha. It doesn't seem he would be the first to break the silence.

"I want some ice cream Sasuke!" Sakura said to Sasuke who turned around and looked at her. He was wondering how she can be so happy when someone just ruined there was-about-to-be- first kiss.

"Hn,"

"Sasuke…pretty please?" Sakura said using that innocent tone and puppy dog eyes Sasuke hated so much, because he could never say no to those. He sighed and looked at her, for some reason once there eyes met all his angry was washed away and he smiled.

"Fine, I'll go buy some wait here." Sasuke said going over to the ice cream stand. There was a really long line, he sighed and waited patiently. Someone ran up and wrapped her arm around Sasuke's. He looked over to see who it was.

"Sasuke-kun, what a coincidence, you buying ice cream too?" Karin chirped into the Uchiha's ear.

"Why else would I be in line?" Sasuke said his anger returning again. Like Karin hadn't done enough to ruin his day.

"Oh, I wanted one too, aw…I forgot my money…can you buy it for me Sasuke-kun?" Karin said trying her hardest to look innocent, though it wasn't working.

"No." Sasuke said. He heard the person call next and he walked up to the counter.

"One chocolate ice cream and a strawberry one please." Sasuke said handing the clerk the money after getting his ice cream and started walking, Karin still behind him.

"Would you quit following me."

"You buy ice cream for that forehead bitch and not one for me!" Karin said fuming with rage.

"Of course, she's my girlfriend." Sasuke said calmly. Karin was burning with madness. She hated the way Sasuke said Sakura was her girlfriend. She soon saw Sakura walking towards them and got even angrier.

"Sasuke, something the matter?" Sakura said taking her ice cream out of Sasuke's hand and glared at Karin.

"No, let's go." Sasuke said taking Sakura's hand and started walking, leaving a still angry Karin.

"What happened, why is she here?" Sakura said licking her ice cream.

"Hn, she expected me to buy her ice cream, who does she think she is?"

Sasuke and Sakura arrived at the table to find that everyone was wet and drinking there drinks that Sakura had bought earlier.

"Hey let's play a game of volleyball!" Ino suggested. Everyone agreed and went to find a net. Sakura spotted a net near where Karin was laying down. She smirked.

"Hey let's go to that net over there!" Sakura said and winked at everyone. They saw why Sakura wanted to go there and agreed. Karin looked up to see the gang coming towards her.

"Karin, we're going to play volleyball here, you don't mind do you?" Sakura asked like she really cared what her answer was.

"No, no of course not, as long as Sasuke-kun is here then it's fine with me." Karin said. Everyone fake puked. The teams were decided, boy against girls. Ino served the ball.

"Here it goes!" Ino said and spiked it over it net to have it saved by Shikamaru. He hit it over the net and the girls missed it.

"Sakura, you serve." Tenten winked and rolled her eyes over to Karin.

"Okay," Sakura said aiming the ball at Karin's head and spiked it hard. It hit Karin with a big BANG. She sat up immediately.

"Hey, what's the deal!" Karin said glaring at the group.

"Oh, sorry Karin, I aimed wrong, my bad." Sakura said trying hard to hold back a laugh.

"Why you," Karin started to say, but Sasuke cleared his throat and shot Karin a death glare and she backed off.

"Okay, Sasuke you serve!" Sakura said throwing the ball over the net to the boys. Sasuke spiked the ball but it didn't get go over, but luckily was saved by Neji who helped Sasuke hit it over.

"I got it!" Tenten called and aimed for Karin and hit it hard in her direction. It hit Karin's face this time leaving a ball mark.

"What…the…HELL!" Karin said getting up and death glared Tenten.

"Sorry, my bad!" Tenten said while everyone else laughed.

"Karin, can you give me the ball?" Sasuke said.

"Of course, anything for you Sasuke-kun!" Karin said picked up the ball and threw it over to Sasuke and went back to tanning. Sasuke hit it over the net to Hinata who hit it, but hardly making it over the net.

"I got it, I got it!" Naruto called but ended up running into Sasuke knocking them both down.

"You idiot, don't need to run all the way across the court sheesh." Sasuke said and hit Naruto on the head. Shikamaru served it and Sakura saved it. She held the ball in her hand; she had just hatched an idea. She aimed for Karin again and hit it hard. It hit Karin in the head again.

"Oh…my…God!" Karin said getting up and marched over to Sakura. Sakura looked at Sasuke and told him to come over to her, and he did.

"Karin, I'm so sorry…hey uh…Sasuke can you go buy Karin two ice cream cones to help me apologize to her?" Sakura said to Sasuke who looked at her like she was crazy. She winked and Sasuke nodded.

"That's more like it." Karin said feeling proud of herself. Sasuke came back with two ice cream cones in his hands. He handed them to Sakura.

"Here Karin, this is for trying to steal Sasuke from me," Sakura said and dumped the ice cream on Karin's chest and watched it drip on the floor. Karin's mouth dropped open. "And this is just for being a pain in the ass." Sakura said and dumped the remaining ice cream on her head and watched it drip down her hair and face. Karin was in total shock.

"You…UGH you're going to pay just watch!" Karin said and stomped away. Everyone started laughing.

"That was a good one Sakura!" Ino said still laughing.

"Yeah, I know right!" Sakura said.

"Hey, you owe me three dollars for those ice creams." Sasuke said eyeing Sakura who did those innocent eyes of hers again. Sasuke sighed.

"Let's continue the game!" Hinata called and everyone went back to there positions on the court.

It was Sakura's turn to serve she hit it across the net that was saved by Sasuke who smiled proudly has it went over the net. Hinata hit it and it wasn't going to go over but was saved by Tenten, but unfortunately Neji hit it just before it hit the ground. It was coming to Sakura she jumped up and spiked it over, but didn't realize there was a sharp rock in the sand and step right on it.

"Ouch!" Sakura yelled in pain from the rock. Ino came running over to Sakura to see what was wrong.

"Sakura, are you okay?" Ino said looking at Sakura's bleeding foot.

"Yeah, I think it's nothing big." Sakura said trying to get it up fell back on the sand. The boys had come over to see what happened. Sasuke saw Sakura on the floor and suggested she go home.

"No, I don't want to go home." Sakura complained.

"Sakura, you need to at least bandage it." Sasuke said looking around for there bags. He found them and ran over to dig for bandage tape. He grabbed it and headed for Sakura.

"Here, let me help you." Sasuke said taking Sakura's injured foot, put some medicine on it and bandaged it up.

"Thank you." Sakura said getting up but fell down from the pain.

"You guys can go play; I'll take care of Sakura." Sasuke said as he helped Sakura off the floor and threw one of her hands over his shoulders and helped her to the table.

"Are you okay?" Sasuke asked as he put Sakura down on a chair and walked over to another chair and sat down.

"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks. You can go play, I'm fine alone."

"No, I'll stay here with you."

"I'm sorry, if I ruined the fun." Sakura said dropping her head letting her bangs cover her face.

"No, don't say that. It's not your fault." Sasuke said looking over at Sakura who looked up and smiled back.

"Hey," Sasuke started saying.

"What is it?"

"You never told me, if we can turn our fake dating to real." Sasuke said blushing a slight pink.

"Well…I'm not sure…I don't want to be hurt again." Sakura said looking straight at the clam, blue ocean.

"Oh, I understand," Sasuke said. Sakura could tell, even though he didn't show it, he was hurt. "Don't worry, its okay, I said before I'm not going to force you to like me, but I do need to tell you, I actually enjoyed us fake dating, it seemed real to me. I guess I was just being stupid, it was all just in my head; I thought something could actually happen between us. I feel like an idiot right now." Sasuke said trying to force himself to laugh.

"Sasuke…?" Sakura said looking over and Sasuke who avoided her eyes and stared at the floor, which he clearly thought, was more interesting since he kept staring at it.

"I'll be fine."

"Sasuke…you didn't let me finish," Sakura said and watched Sasuke look up from the floor and locked those mysterious onyx colored eyes with hers. She smiled. "I don't want to be hurt again, but I didn't say I didn't want to go out with you." Sasuke's eyes widened and had a face that said did-I-hear-that-right?

"You serious, I mean you don't have to if you don't want to." Sasuke said smiling and running his hand through his hair.

"I'm serious, and to tell you the truth, I enjoyed fake dating with you these couple months too." Sakura blushed and smiled shyly.

They sat there the rest of the time talking about a bunch of random things and how they're going to break the news to everyone else. The sun was starting to set, Ino, Hinata, Tenten, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji came back soaking wet. They decided to watch until the sunsets before they leave. They moved from the table on to the sand. Ino and Shikamaru were holding hands as they watch the sunset. Naruto and Hinata were sitting close to each other. Neji and Tenten were leaning on each other back to back. Sasuke laid down in sand, legs spread out and hands behind his head, looking up at the sunset. Sakura slowly limbed over and sat in between Sasuke's legs. Sasuke sat up and looked at Sakura.

"What?"

"Nothing." Sasuke said wrapping his arms around Sakura's waist, resting his head on her shoulder as they watch the sun slowly sinking down the horizon. There surroundings turning from red-orange, to the dark blue night. The stars soon came out making the sky glitter with lights. Everyone got up and started to pack there stuff.

"This was such a fun day." Ino stretched as she put the last of her things in her bag.

"Expect the part about Sakura getting hurt." Tenten said.

"Nah, it's actually really good." Sakura said looking over at Sasuke who smiled and took her hand.

"I knew it, Sasuke you liked Sakura!" Naruto said pointing his finger in Sasuke's direction.

"I'm glad you guys finally decided to get together!" Ino said smilingly happily to her friends. They soon left the beach and headed home.

"Sakura let me take you home." Sasuke said still holding on to Sakura since she can't walk very well with the big cut in her foot.

"Okay, this once I will say yes." Sakura said limping.

"Here I'll carry you." Sasuke said telling Sakura to get on his back.

"No way, I can walk!" Sakura said taking another step but the pain was hurting too much so she fell back only to be caught by Sasuke.

"You can walk huh?" Sasuke said picking Sakura up as she got on his back.

"Man, you need to lay off the chocolate, you're pretty heavy!" Sasuke said while he was walking to Sakura's house.

"Shut up!" Sakura snapped and blushed. She rested her head on Sasuke strong back and closed her eyes. When she opened them again they were in front of her house.

"Oh, I must have fallen asleep." Sakura said as she got off Sasuke's back, took out her keys and opened the door.

"Can you make it up the stairs?" Sasuke said giving Sakura an unsure look.

"Maybe…" Sakura said taking a step but winced in pain. The next thing she knew Sasuke picked her up bridal style and walked into the house. Sakura put her arms around Sasuke neck, and put her face against Sasuke's chest, afraid she might fall.

"Don't' worry I won't drop you." Sasuke said reaching the top of the stairs and opening the door to Sakura's room and gently put her in bed then went over and closed the door.

"Thank you, you should probably go…" Sakura said looking at the clock that said 9:30.

"Wait, we need to bandage that foot again." Sasuke said walking to Sakura's foot and undid the bandage.

"Thank god my parents aren't home, or they would kill me for having a guy over in my room!" Sakura said laughing. There was a knock on the door.

"Sakura, was that you that just came home?" Sakura's eyes widen as she heard her mother's voice on the other side of the door. She looked at Sasuke who had the same expression she did. And they both mumbled

"Uh Oh."
