Sakura walked into school, looking down at her feet, and in her own dreamy world. She had no idea who she had danced with that night at the dance, but more than anything, she wanted to find out.

The only thing she did know without a doubt was that this dance mix-up was surely the work of Ino. She knew she would do something. For once, though, she wasn't angry! She was glad Ino had set her up! The question was, with whom?

THWACK!

Something had hit her over the head, and she was now on the ground, moaning.

She looked up to see (yup, you guessed it) a huge horde of fan girls standing over her holding a heavy book, which evidently she had just been hit with.

"The jig is UP Saskura! We only want one simple answer from you! Why were you dancing with Sasuke at the dance?!"

"I...Um, What? I don't know who …"

A powerful kick to the stomach caused Sakura to stop in mid-sentence and curl up in pain.

"Don't play dumb with us! We all saw you! I don't even care why any more! Just know this: If we EVER see you interacting with Sasuke again, I'm going to tell my cousin, and he's big and strong, and he'll kick your ass!"

One of the fan girls suddenly whispered something to the head girl.

"Yeah, I know we just wanna scare her though! Duh!" She whispered back, looking annoyed.

Sakura smirked at this. She stood up slowly, trying to hide her bewilderment and just said:

"I'm not scared of you. If you weren't so stupid, you would have seen it wasn't my choice to dance with him. I was set up. Oh, and you know what else? It was him that asked me to dance first!"

She ran away before she got beaten again. From a nearby tree she saw the head fan girl drop to her knees, with the other fan girls telling her "She was just joking! Don't worry, he would never really ask her! Don't believe her!"

Sakura smiled. Verbally, she was much stronger than they were.

So it was Sasuke after all.

More than anything Sakura wanted to see him again, or at least for him to know it was her.

This was the first time she had actually connected with a person of the opposite sex. And of all people it was Sasuke! She had never seen Sasuke show emotion like that before, or come out of his annoyed facial expression he seemed to carry everywhere with him. She never knew Sasuke had that side to him.

Sasuke opened his eyes.

Light was pouring in through his bedroom window.

He groaned and rolled over in bed to face his alarm clock that was sitting on the nightstand.

The time was 9.17 a.m.

THUD

Sasuke had fallen out of bed with shock, and in two seconds flat was throwing off his pajamas and throwing a decent pair of clothes on.

"CRAP, I was meant to be in school over an hour ago! Why didn't my alarm clock wake me up!"

Running down the stairs, Itachi was nearly knocked over by his speed.

"Hey, you're pretty late Sasuke, you should get moving"

Sasuke didn't even answer, nor grab breakfast but simply hurdled out of the door and ran at the speed of light towards Konoha high.

Sasuke burst into the classroom, panting like a dog. It was in the middle of the lesson and all the students turned to look at him. They immediately all started laughing.

"What? What is it?!" Sasuke growled.

Sasuke looked down and saw that both his pants and his shirt were on inside out.

Uggghh perfect. Just perfect.

That day at lunch, Sasuke tried to keep a low profile. As a result of this, he was sitting alone in a corner of the grounds. Coming into the classroom that morning with his clothes on wrong had given him serious loss of face.

As expected, the fan girls found him, as they did every day. Sasuke got ready to tell them he didn't want to eat lunch with any of them, nor did he wanna grab a drink after school. But this time, it wasn't lunch with Sasuke that they wanted.

Lanta was standing at the front of all the fan girls.

"Sasuke-kun, what happened at the dance?! I was trying to get to you, but Ino locked me in the beach changing room! And I also heard that you were dancing with Sakura! Why! Why were you dancing with Sakura!"

Sasuke stiffened for a second. Sakura. The same girl who was being beaten up by these girls. The same girl who he was eavesdropping on. The same girl who he had been thinking about lately. Could it really be her?

Of course. The fan girls were never wrong when it came to his personal life.

"Well, you kept on trying to force kisses onto me, and if you really like someone, then you should at least respect them and their wants, right?"

The girls looked troubled by this.

"Well, don't worry Sasuke-kun, we told her to stay away from you!"

"Yeah, she got a real telling off from us"

"Don't worry, she won't ever bother you again!"

They all giggled.

Sasuke had to see Sakura again. He had had such a great time dancing with her. Nobody had ever gotten through his shell like that before.

Just from what the fan girls said he knew that Sakura had a hard time from them.

And it was because of him. He couldn't just let this slide. What many people didn't know, was that buried way, way deep down inside Sasuke was a sympathetic side. How had one girl managed to get to him like that in the space of a few days?

Sasuke was going to do something he had never done before. He had already humiliated himself that morning in class. Nothing embarrassing could possibly happen again that day.

He was going to talk to Sakura without her talking to him first.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sakura sighed. She had a long day. She could hardly concentrate in school because all she could think about was Sasuke. Did he know it was her yet?

Suddenly, as if Sasuke had read her thoughts, he was walking toward her calmly. She stopped in her tracks. Sakura looked the other way to see if Sasuke was just going toward someone behind her. There wasn't.

Sasuke was now standing just in front of her.

"Sakura?"

"Y-Yes, Sasuke-kun?"

Just make this quick thought Sasuke

"I'm sorry about all those fan girls giving you such a hard time. Not just today, but a couple of times, and I know it's because of me, so I'm sorry." Sasuke avoided her eyes.

"Oh, it's not your fault, don't worry about them, serisouly…"

Sasuke interrupted her. "And they also told me that they talked to you about the dance. So, you know it was me right?"

Inside, Sakura was screaming with happiness.

"Oh, y-yes I do…"

"Hn."

They stood there for a few awkward moments, until Sakura suddenly broke the silence. If there was one thing she hated, it was awkwardness.

"Well, I'm sorry Sasuke, but you were a terrible dancer, and I had a terrible time"

"oohh really?? Well sorry to tell you, but even Lanta was better to dance with than you."

"Oh yeah, I could tell at the beginning of the dance,you were having a great time, what with the pulling away from her and grimacing and everything"

They both chuckled.

Without warning, the ground started shaking. Uh-oh. Sasuke remembered this. So did Sakura. Without being told, they both started to run. But where to?

"Sasuke quick, follow me! I know a place you can hide!"

Sasuke didn't care if he had to run into a pig-sty, he just wanted to get away from the crazy wild animals. Insitinctively, he just followed Sakura merely for the sake of his own safety.

On they ran, away from the shouts of "SAKURA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH SASUKE!" and "SASUKE, COME BACK HERE!"

Suddenly Sakura swerved to the left, so quickly Sasuke barely saw it, let alone the fangirls seeing it. They stopped, panting for breath, and watched as the fan girls looked around bewildered, and screaming. It was extremely funny to watch.

"Hahaha! Did you see those guys faces?"

"HAHAHAHAHEE, they were hilarious!"

"Oh my god, i almost want to do that again, it was soooo funny!"

Suddenly Sakura tripped over a tree root, and fell into Sasuke. She was still laughing all over the place.

"Sakura?"

Sakura only just managed to stop laughing and turned her head to look up at him. "Yeah?"

Sasuke remained silent.

"What is it?"

Sasuke ripped his gaze away from Sakura's eyes.

"Nothing, just thank you for finding me somewhere to hide."

Sakura stood up. "Oh, sure, anytime."

It was then that Sasuke realized where he was. It was beautiful, and lush, with flowers everywhere, and right in the middle, a waterfall pouring into a small creek.

"Wow, what is this place?"

"Oh, this is sort of, oh, you won't wanna hear about it."

"No. tell me."

"oh, well, it's just where I hang out after school, do homework, read, swim, whatever. It's kinda like my own base, where I can just get away from things cos it's basically next door to my house"

"Ah. It's very peaceful."

"…Well, Thanks! I'm glad you like it."

Sasuke turned his eyes from the area. "Well, I have to go now."

"Oh, sure, umm, see you tomorrow!"

Sasuke stood there a few seconds before turning to leave.

"Oh, and Sasuke?"

Sasuke turned around. "Hn?"

"Feel free to come back here if you get chased by the horde of fan girls again."

Sasuke almost looked happy about this, but his personality still shone through and he quickly stomped down on it, and simply smiled gently.

"Sure"
