Hey guys sorry it took so long but my cousin was annoying me so I couldn't finish it. I love him, he's cute, but he's annoying.
Chapter 4: Ice Skating trip delays our Date
I stood beside Sakura's bed, where she lay peacefully asleep. I was going to wake her up, but after I was done looking at her. 'She's just a fangirl, yeah, you're falling for that fangirl,' Inner stated the obvious. I bent down next to her ear and whispered, "Sakura, wake up."
She stirred a little but didn't wake up. I had a lot of patience, but I didn't want her to miss the sunrise. I decided to do the unexpected, I bent down and gave her a peck on her cheek. I snapped back up and put my hands in my pockets before she woke up. "Ah! Sasuke-kun, gomenasai, I slept in!" She apologized hurriedly.
"Its ok Sakura," I responded picking her up bridal style and climbing out her bedroom window, up the side of her house to the roof. I should have been looking at the sun rise but, instead I was watching her. She shivered, she was obviously cold. I put her down and took my hoodie off then I gave to her, "Put it on," I commanded.
"N-no! That's okay Sasuke-kun," she smiled warmly.
With that I pulled the hoodie on over her head and picked her up again. She was blushing red, and she looked cute! 'KAWAIIIIII!' Inner purred. 'Tell me about it!' I agreed. Oh no, I just agreed with inner me, again!
"Ne, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura called.
"Hn?"
"Why are you carrying me?" She asked blushing.
'Because I want to,' I smirked, "Because you'll get sick if I let you stand on the cold roof floor."
"Oh, arigatou Sasuke-kun," she thanked me.
"I love you," I mumbled inaudibly.
"Nani, Sasuke-kun?" She asked me.
"Nothing," I looked away.
There she was in my arms, and I couldn't tell her a thing, not yet anyway. I was okay with fighting over her, but then again, she would decide the winner, I really couldn't take it if she hated me, or just saw me as a friend. She leaned rested her head on my chest. My heart started to pound again, she probably noticed but didn't say anything. "Sasuke-kun," she called me with that sugar sweet voice of hers.
'Oh say my name again please!' Inner begged.
"Hn?" I replied.
"What do you want for Christmas?" She asked me.
"Ummm, nothing really," I replied. 'What I would really like is your heart Sakura, and a kiss with that,' I thought deviously.
'Who are you and what have you done with that usra tunkicha Sasuke?' Inner mocked.
"No really Sasuke-kun!" She pressed. "I wanna get you something you like!"
"Umm, I really don't know what I want," I told her.
"Oh, okay then, I'll just get you something then," she said her face dropping into a frown.
I hated seeing her frown. I decided to make her smile. In order to make her smile, I started tickle her, she started to squirm in my arm laughing. She was kicking and laughing my name, and waving her arms, until I couldn't hold her anymore, and I lost balance. We fell backwards I was sitting down, and she was sitting down in my lap. She was blushing madly. I couldn't help myself, her cuteness, her innocence, it made me smirk. I could'nt help it. I picked her up and slowly stood.
"SAKURA!" A feminine voice called.
"That's my mother!" Sakura said. "Go quickly or she'll curse you forever!"
She pushed me and told me to leave quickly. I listened to her and jumped away.
~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~
I was walking to school with another hoodie of mine on, well actually it was Itachi's hoodie, but I had to wear something warm. It was baggy on me, but I didn't care. I think we were going skating today. If we weren't, I didn't care, I wasn't that good at skating. "Sasuke-kuuun," Ino purred as she jumped on me.
My right eye twitched and I looked at her annoyed. Did she ever up? "Get off of !" I commanded fiercely.
Ino decided to be obedient and got off of me. I went over to a bench and sat down. I looked down at the ground and when I looked up again, I found Naruto with a black eye. "Neji got you huh?" I smirked.
"Y-yeah," he replied looking down.
"Ohayo!" A sugar sweet voice called.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan!" Naruto called back.
"Eeeh! Naruto what happened to your eye?"Sakura asked.
"Neji caught him," I answered for Naruto, "So how did it go with your mother?"
"Oh, I told her I was watching the sun rise, and when she saw the hoodie, I told her you let me borrow it," Sakura replied.
"You can keep it if you want," I told her.
"N-no, Sasuke-kun, I have to give it back!" She stuttered blushing madly.
'Sooo cute, sooo very, very, very, cute!' Inner drooled.
"Ohayo! My youthful cherry blossom!" Lee ran up to us.
'MY? MY? How many friggin' times do we got to tell ya SHE'S NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN OWN?' Inner exploded.
"Ohayo Lee-san!" Sakura replied cheerfully.
I got up and walked away, I needed to punch something after that 'my', and I don't think cracking Lee's skull would make Sakura like me.
"Sasuke-kun? Are you okay?" Sakura asked me.
"Yeah, I'm fine, no need to worry about me Sakura, there's just something I need to do," I replied compressing my anger.
"Are you sure?" She pressed on.
"I'm fine Sakura, really," I replied as calmly as I could.
I walked behind the building, and punched the ground multiple times. Yes, I was like a bomb, and Lee had pulled the trigger and it was time for me to explode. To release the last bit of anger stored in me, I punched the wall of the school. That was a bad idea, because then all of the snow on the roof fell on to the ground, and on to me. I easily got out from underneath it though, so it was no big deal. I hurried back to where Sakura was, along with Lee and Naruto.
"Oi teme! When you left, there were a bunch of earthquakes! Did you feel them?" Naruto asked me.
'Earthquakes really? Were my punches that stong?'
"No, I didn't feel any earthquakes," I replied coolly.
"Wow really?" Lee asked confused. "What were you the cause of these quakes?"
"Hn."
"Sigoi, Sasuke-kun," Sakura admired me. (Note:Sigoi means awesome)
Lee looked depressed. What can I say, he brought it upon himself. "Ohayo, Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto," Kakashi appeared out of no where, "oh ohayo Lee."
"Ohayo Kakashi-sensei," Lee said energetically.
"Why are you here Kakashi?" I asked him suspiciously.
"Oh I came to tell you Gai, and I will be chaperoning your ice skating trip," Kakashi answered.
"Ooooh! Sensei you're coming with us?" Naruto asked.
"That's what he just said dobe," I answered.
The bell rang signaling us to go to file in. We entered the building and sat down in our usual seats. We went through the stupid lecture with them explaining how we shouldn't skate towards the center of the lake and all of that. Then we started to walk to walk towards the lake so that we could skate. We were lucky that they had rentals this year or else we would have had to skate with our shoes. I really don't wanna try that, especially since, I' m not very good at skating as it is.
When Sakura put her skates on she walked onto the ice and started to skate. On ice she transformed into swan, I swear, she jumped and twirled so gracefully. Everyone stopped to stare, but something when incredible wrong, Sakura was getting near the center of the lake, Kakashi wasn't warning her, and nobody seemed to notice. I rushed to get near her, and then SPLASH! She fell right into the center of the lake. I didn't think I just dove right into the lake after her. The second I made contact with the cold water I was in shock. The water was so cold, It made my whole being become numb in seconds, but my determination to save the drowning Sakura powered my muscles. I swam as fast as I could and caught her arm, and I pulled her up. I wrapped my arms around her waist and swam upward. When I finally reached the surface I pulled the both of us onto the ice. I instantly picked her up and skated away as fast as I could. I got of the ice and ran behind a bush and laid her down on the snow. There was a problem, she wasn't breathing. I had only one option. CPR. They taught us how to perform CPR saying it would come in handy. It was going to come in handy right now. I tipped her head up and placed my left hand over my right hand over her chest. I pushed 15 times, and put my head to the spot over her heart and listened, still nothing. I opened her mouth and placed mine on top of her and breathed in. She coughed and I instantly moved away. "S-Sasuke-k-kun?" She stuttered. Her lips were blue and she was shivering all over. I instantly picked her up and ran to my house. Now, I know you're all wondering come on Sasuke why didn't you take the poor girl home? My answer: because imagine walking up to a house, knocking on the door and saying, "Koneichiwa Haruno-san-," her mother would probably cut me off there, screaming why she was wet, and all of that.
I reached my house and unlocked the door quickly and dashed in. "S-Sasuke-k-kun, y-you c-could h-h-have t-taken m-me h-h-home," Sakura chattered.
"Sakura I have a large bath, and you really need to soak in hot water or you'll catch a cold," I managed to avoid chattering.
"A-arigatou S-Sasuke-k-kun."
"O-once you've taken your clothes off place them in the basket near the door, and-d, I-I'll come to pick it up so that, I can wash them for you," I told her, "and take your time so that your clothes can be clean by the time you're done."
"H-h-hai S-Sasuke-k-kun."
I set her down and waited for her to put her wet clothes in the basket so I could wash them for her. She opened the door and pushed the basket out, "A-arig-gat-you' S-Sasuk-ke-k-k-kun."
I didn't reply and hurried to the laundry room and threw her underwear into the small washing machine. You see, I have a big washing machine and a small washing machine, she needs her underwear more right now, so I decided to wash them first, especially since the big washing machine takes an hour to wash, and Sakura won't spend that much time in the bathroom. I still threw in her clothes in the big washing machine and hurried to take a nice warm bath my self. But before I did, I washed and dried my hands and went to my parent's room, I opened the closet, and looked for something Sakura could wear. My mom had a lot of dresses, but there was only one that actually seemed to be able to fit Sakura, since she wasn't yet as tall my mother was and I found it after searching for about 11 minutes.
With that I went into the bath Itachi and I used to share. I filled the tub up with warm water and went to check if the small washing machine. Her clothes were washed, I just grabbed them and put them in the dryer and left to take the bath. When I went into I hurriedly took all my clothes in order to have a fair amount of time in the warm water.
I didn't realize how cold I had been until I stepped in. The water was so warm. It felt so good! I felt my arms tingling with the warmth. "Ahhhh," I sighed in pleasure. Peace and quiet, or so I thought. 'Can you believe Lee, he just stood there the whole time! We didn't need his help or anything, but….. Anyway, you kissed her!'
'I did not!
'You did too!'
'Did not.'
'Did too!'
'Did not.'
'Did too!'
'Did not.'
'Did too!'
'Did not.'
'Did too!'
'Did not.'
'Did too!'
'Did not.'
'Did too!'
'That was CPR!'
'So? You stilled kissed her,' Inner crossed his arms.
I decided that I had spent enough time in the bath and got dressed. To my luck, the dryer had finished drying Sakura's underwear. So I rushed to the room, grabbed the dress and got her underwear out of the dryer, I always left at least two spare towels in each bathroom. I hurried to find some slippers and then I knocked on the door, "Sakura, I have clothes for you to change into, and some slippers."
"The door's unlocked Sasuke-kun, gomen, I forgot it opened'" she replied.
"Sakura, can you hold your breath underwater long enough for me to put everything near the tub, I know it sounds crazy, but what other choice do we have?" I asked her.
"O-okay Sasuke-kun," she answered. I heard her go under water and I slowly opened the door rushed to the counter near the bath tub and placed the slipper on the floor near the bath tub as well and hurried out. I had been looking at the floor that whole time.
I walked into the living room and started the fire. I didn't matches or anything, I had enough chakra to perform a jitsu. I just sat there by the fire, warming myself. I was wearing a navy blue hooddie. I was also wearing long dark grey sweat pants.
When Sakura walked in I started to remember that dress, and I started to remember why father didn't let my mother wear the dress very often. It had a large collar that exposed her collarbone. On her the dress reached the floor, but on my mother in would only reach her knees. The sleeves reached just a little below her elbows, on my mother they would reach a little above her wrist. The dress was black and it had the Uchiha crest on the front like it was some kind of logo. 'KAWAIII! Sasuke, she's cute, she's innocent, she sweet, kind caring, and smart! Dang it man, don't let Lee get her, please don't!' Inner said mentally shaking the living daylights out of me.
I guess I was staring at her, "Does it look weird on me?" She asked me looking down at the dress nervously.
"No, you look nice in that dress," I complemented. 'WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY WOMAN YOU LOOK AMAZING!' Inner mentally drooled.
For this I thank Kami that I am in control and not inner. When I looked at Sakura she was tomato red. "Arigatou Guzaimusu, Sasuke-kun," she thanked me quietly.
"It's no big deal Sakura, I couldn't just let you drown, and I couldn't let you die even though you weren't breathing," I accidently let the last part slip out.
Sakura turned and faced me her eyes wide, "You p-performed CP-PR o-on me?" She stuttered.
I didn't answer, I just looked at the fire burning. Speaking of burning, the fire wasn't the only thing burning in the room, Sakura's cheeks were red-hot. I would have felt guilty for making her blush so much if she didn't look so cute. 'Are you okay usra tunkichi?' Inner said mentally putting his hand on my forehead. 'Do you have a fever or something? Because you're sound a lot like me! Your awesome inner self! I wanna name other than inner! Let's call me-,"
'Usra tunkichi," I suggested.
'Urusai! Let's call me Agent S, nah that's too long, umm how about the Awesome inner, no that's even longer. Umm how about…"
"How about inner?' I suggested again.
'Inner! That's perfect! I LOVE it!' Inner said with heart shaped eyes.
"Hey Sasuke-kun, do you want me to make you something to eat? I mean as thanks," Sakura asked me.
"No it's okay Sakura-,"
"No I insist, please let me make it up to you," she interrupted me.
Her big eyes were looking at me pleadingly. How could I resist, I was an Uchiha, and we don't lose, I couldn't let Sakura win. "Fine," I gave in. I lost to a girl. 'A really cute girl,' Inner added.
I didn't bother with him since, "What do you want to eat Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.
"Surprise me," I smirked at her.
"Umm okay, I will!" She said energetically, "do you like foreign foods?"
"What foreign foods?" I interrogated.
"Well, I have a small range, because Ino and I were competing to see who could know the most foreign foods, or the most recipes in all, sooo-,"
"Sakura just give me the choices," I interrupted her, that mentioning of Ino being better than her in any way made me irritated. No girl, and I mean no girl is better than the beautiful cherry blossom.
"Umm, well I know a few American, and one Italian, and umm, I know how to make Arabian foods too," she blushed.
I know what American foods are like, since I saw Ino's cooking once. She happened to give me a plate and it didn't look too good. I don't want to judge her, it may just be that the foods they are weird to me, since I like Japanese food. I bet the Italian one is pasta, or maybe pizza. Arabian food, wonder what that's like.
"You know what Sakura, make anything you like, whether it's Japanese or Arabian, I don't care, make what ever you can," I answered.
"Hai Sasuke-kun!" Sakura chirped as she went into the kitchen.
I decided to follow her. It would be fun to watch her cook. When I got close to the door I noticed she found the apron. She put it on and tied it. I turned my face away, 'Damn you Sakura, why are you so cute?'
'I know huh?' Inner said smugly.
I turned back around and found her washing tomatoes, yummy, cucumbers, lettuce, green onions, and parsley, along with some green leafy thing, I have no idea what it is. She began to chop and dice them expertly scraping them off the board into a small stainless steel bowl. Then she took pieta bread out from one of my cabinets. I like pieta bread, it tastes good plain, and it also tastes good with tomatoes. She turned the stove on to a light fire and started to put the pieta bread on it. She put just two pieces on before placing then on a small circular soup bowl. She covered the cut veggies, which were obviously some kind of salad, in the fridge.
Something told me should take hours, so I decided to go in and help her. "Sasuke-kun? What's wrong?" She looked at me confused.
"Nothing, I just decided to help you, that's all," I answered.
That's when I noticed a fish fillet on a plate on the counter. What was she planning to do with it? Now I know it's like: you sure have a lot of food Sasuke. See thing is, I do shopping that lasts me at least a week, if not two. I happened to buy fish fillets last time and since I don't use spices, and since they somehow don't expire, al these spices were left over from when my mother used to cook. Now that I mention it, Sakura really reminds me of my mother when she's in the kitchen, wearing that apron, and cooking so expertly. Hmm, I wonder, "Do you help your mother in the kitchen?" I wondered aloud.
"Yeah I do! I enjoy cooking," she smiled brightly.
I saw her take out pepper, onions, lemons and carrots. She went over and washed the pepper, carrots, and lemons, I never bought pepper, wait, last time I took Naruto grocery shopping with me. I would kill that dobe, but Sakura needed this ingredient so I won't, not yet anyway. Sakura put the lemons and pepper on a plate before taking a small knife out of the drawer. She quickly and deftly shaved the carrots. Then she turned to face me, "Sasuke-kun, thanks for the offer, but I can't find anything for you to do really, it's a simple recipe really, soo-,"
"You call all that simple?" I raised an eyebrow, was she serious?
"Y-yes," she stuttered nervously, "I-I just wanted to say that you can go do something entertaining or useful, because I know watching me is boring."
"No, watching you is entertaining," I corrected her.
"Really?" She asked me confused.
I nodded, "It's like watching a cooking show without the cook bragging about how good their dish is."
She giggled and turned to get back to work. Washing the onion she had been peeling while talking to me. I noticed the clock on the kitchen wall and noticed she had been at work for 40 minutes; so she had been here for about three hours, but I had spent less than and hour with her. I also noticed that her clothes must clean by now, so I walked out the kitchen and to the laundry room. I was right. I took her clothes out and placed them in the dryer, before heading back to the kitchen. I found that Sakura was crying, "What's wrong Sakura? Are you okay?" I asked as calmly as I could manage. 'Did she cut her finger? Oh, I shouldn't have let her cook,' I panicked.
"I'm fine Sasuke-kun, it's just the onions," She gave me a teary smile.
"Oh," What else could I say?
I watched her dice the peppers, and the carrots, then she placed then in another small stainless steel bowl and slice the lemons in half before squeezing one top of the veggie mix and applying spices and salt. She then mixed them with around with a spoon and started to wash the fish fillet and place it on a clean plate, before she cut it into four large pieces. Then she began to stuff them with the mix she just made before taking out a metal tray and placing the fish in it, and place it in the oven and setting it to the desired temperature. I guess she was finished, but decided to make lemon juice, not lemonade though. When she was done she left then in the juicer and washed the part with the pulp and seeds. Then she started to do the dishes. I wasn't gonna let her. She made lunch, I'll do the dishes. I walked up to her, "Move aside Sakura."
I expected her to be the obedient girl she was and listen to me, but, "No I made the mess, I'll clean up after my self."
"No you made the food, so I'll clean up," I argued.
"You are being nice to me, so I need to thank you," she replied wittily.
I grabbed her hand as she reached for the knife, I lifted it quickly up so that she couldn't grab it, but she somehow managed to.
"Leave me to clean up, or I will stab you," she threatened. 'Oooh, I like her threat, but she wouldn't do that, not to me, I mean us,' Inner purred.
"I know you won't," I told her.
He lowered her head and sweat dropped. Hah, I win. "Please Sasuke-kun, let me do the dishes," Sakura pleaded.
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Yes."
I was surprised with her answer, but, "No."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"I knew you would agree with me Sasuke-kun!" She was sharp and hard to trick, cool.
"I never agreed," I answered.
"But you just said yes," she whined.
"I didn't mean it," I snapped back, why was she so keen on washing the dishes?
"Yes you did, now let go of me," she snatched her hand away from me and continued with the dishes.
When she put the knife and sponge down I lifted her up from her waist, "Hey! Put me down!" She giggled in my arms.
With the way we were acting, I wonder if we could be considered a couple, but then again we weren't, yet. I placed her down on the couch and dashed to the kitchen where I continued the dishes.
"Sasuke-kun!" She came in after I grabbed the sponge and placed her hand on mine.
The touch sent electricity going through my body. "Sakura, let me do the dishes!" I told her. "Go add spices to the salad or something."
"Fine," she pouted and washed her hands before she took the salad out of the fridge, looking at the clock on the wall. "And it's called seasoning."
"I knew that."
I finished doing the dishes quickly and turned to find her tossing the salad. After that she started to crunch the now crisp pieta bread into smaller pieces. Then she looked at the wall again, "two more minutes," she muttered.
"I'm doing the dishes after lunch," she informed me.
"No."
"Please Sasuke-kun," she whined.
"No."
"I'm not letting you win this time," she said playfully, while putting on oven mitts.
My mouth watered at the smell of the stuffed fish fillet she had made. It smelled yummy. I watched her set the table. I decided not to argue this time since, I was gonna argue with her on who would do the dishes later. She placed salad in one of the two plates she placed in front of my seat and then a piece of fillet on the other one. "Add as much of the bread as you want to the salad, and as much lemon juice as you want to the fish," she smiled warmly.
I decided to start with the salad, I placed a fair amount of the crisp bread ate a spoonful. It tasted so gooood! I decided to try the fish, it tasted okay, then I added some lemon juice and it tasted magnificent! "You're cooking of foreign foods is impressive," I complemented.
"Arigatou guzaimasu, Sasuke-kun, they're both Arabian, if I'm correct," she smiled happily.
We had lunch and then it was time to do the dishes. I was happened to be faster, so I grabbed all the dishes and placed them in the sink. Sakura was right on my heel, but then, knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the door.
"Why don't you go get that?" Sakura asked smirking at me.
I grabbed her by the elbow and tugged her to the door with me, "hey!"
She walked along with me without complaining or struggling. When I opened the door, it was her parents. Oh crap.
"Sakura dear, are you alright?" Her mother gasped hugging her tightly.
"Did, he do anything to you?" Her father asked her worriedly. I already hate this man.
"N-no! Sasuke-kun save my life! And her brought me back here and gave me dry clothes, so I wouldn't get sick!" Sakura said hurriedly, blushing madly.
"Why don't you come in?" I invited her parents into my house.
These people obviously didn't trust teenage boys. "How did you know I was here?" She asked her parents, as we led them to the living room.
"Oh a boy named Rock, Lee told us that Uchiha,Sasuke had run off in the middle of a field trip carrying our freezing cold and wet daughter," her mother said as she sat down by the fire.
Her mother also had pink hair, but she had purple eyes, not Sakura's gorgeous green ones. "Thank you for taking care of our daughter," her father smiled at me.
Sakura had her father's eyes, they were green, just like hers. "Your welcome," I replied fake smiling back.
I don't smile very often as you can already tell.
"Was, was this your mother's dress?" Sakura's mother hesitated.
"Yes," I replied dropping my fake smile and looking in her direction, "I think it looks really good on Sakura though."
"A-arigatou, Sasuke-kun," she blushed.
.. Somebody pounded on the door.
I got up and went to answer it. Guess who it was, who else would be so loud? Naruto. When I opened the door, he instantly started to scream in my face, "Teme, Sakura-chan's parents are coming to your house, you are in a lot of trouble, they were really angry when they heard that you, a boy took her!"
"You're five minutes too late," I told him irritated.
"Oh, suman, hahaha," Naruto laughed drubbing the back of his head sheepishly before leaving, what a dobe.
I closed the door and walked back to find Sakura in the living room with her parents, she was busy telling them that we had lunch together, when she remembered something, and I did too, she instantly jumped off the sofa and we both dashed to the kitchen reaching the sink at the same time. We started to fight over the sponge, "Sakura give it here!" I ordered her.
"No! I said I wouldn't let you win this time!" She tugged on the sponge.
Her parents walked on us arguing over the sponge, I bet we looked ridiculous. Each of us had a hand on either edge of the sink and our shoulders were pressed together as we fought over the sponge. We were both startled when we started to hear laughter. Sakura and I dropped the sponge at the same time and turned around to find her parents laughing. "I swear they're just like a married couple!" Her mother giggled. 'MARRIED? Can our love really last that long?' Inner wondered. Sakura was bright red, I didn't blush however, you just gotta love that Uchiha pride. Sakura instantly made a grab for the sponge, but I pushed the stack of plates away. She didn't admit defeat, instead she washed the silverware. "I called doing the dishes first," she told me.
"So I don't care, you made me a great meal, now let me express my gratitude!" I said as I made a grab for the sponge. Sakura swiftly moved it out of my reach. She was good, I had to admit. "Give me the sponge, or else," I threatened.
"Or else wha-hahahahaha!" Sakura started giggling as I started to tickle her tummy. That's when I grabbed the sponge and did dipped it in the dish washing formula, before I started to scrub the plate. "I win," I told her.
"No, not yet," she smiled evilly. 'Awww even when she has an evil smile she looks adorable!' Inner purred.
"Give me the sponge, or I'll convince Ino that you were using me to make her jealous!" She threatened.
"Why would I try to make Ino, of all girls, jealous?" I asked her.
"I don't know, she'll be annoying you for a long time now, thinking you love her and all," she teased me.
"Fine," it was my turn to pout and hand the sponge over.
"See I told you I would win," she stuck her tongue out at me.
I turned around and he parents were staring daggers at me. Oh crap. "What have you been doing with our daughter?" Her father asked in an ominous tone.
"I've been taking her out for hot chocolate," I answered automatically.
"Really?" Her father pressed.
"Yes, Otou-san, Sasuke-kun has been taking me out for hot chocolate ever since two days ago!" Sakura chirped.
'What else could I be doing with your daughter? We're, well, he's not perverted! Or driven by his hormones, no he never listens to them and keeps them here in his head!'Inner glared at me.
"Oh okay," her father said slowly.
I'm guessing they didn't like me tickling Sakura, that's what made them suspicious. Oh god, can't I ever be at peace with Sakura? She finished doing the dishes and dried her hands. "Well, we need to go home now, come on Sakura," her mother smiled warmly at me, "thank you again for saving our daughter's life, Sasuke-kun."
Of course older people call me Sasuke-kun too. "You're welcome," I replied, "but don't you think Sakura will get cold in just that dress?"
I took off my hoodie and gave it to Sakura, "N-no, Sasuke-kun, the dress is enough!" She tried to reject my offer.
"It's okay Sasuke-kun, I'll give her my coat," her father said firmly, "now put your hoodie back on, I don't that t-shirt of yours will be enough."
I did as I was told and bid them farewell. I was gonna kill Lee. I walked back in, there was one piece of stuffed fish left. I put it on a plate and wrapped it in plastic film wrap before placing it in the fridge. The food she had made tasted amazing. She looked adorable in that dress, Sakura really made my day.
I smirked as I sat down next to the fire, and then the phone started ringing.
"Hello?" I said questioningly.
"OI TEME! Leisten don't tell Neji where I am okay, he's coming to your house, okay, don't tell him I'm at the café, please!" Naruto begged.
Knock. Knock. Knock. "See y adobe, Neji's here," I replied shutting the phone off.
"Hello Hyuuga," I opened the door for him.
"Listen Uchiha, I don't have time for you, where's Naruto?" Neji said calmly but quickly.
"Why?" I asked irritated.
"I need to kill him." He replied.
"Oh he ran away with Hinata again?" I smirked.
"Yeah, now where is he?" Neji asked me irritated.
"What makes you think I would know?"
"He obviously called you telling you I was coming over here."
"Yeah, he told me not to tell you that he was at the café," I answered.
"Thanks," Neji took off.
What's with people coming to my house today? Humph. Well, Naruto's gonna get a beating, might as well go watch, then, I'll continue my gift shopping.
DEEEEET! That meant Sakura's clothes were dry. I'll get them later. 'Chotto matte, we didn't go on our date today. Well, looks like it was delayed till tomorrow then, in your face Lee.' Inner reminded me, smirking.

The dishes part was weird I know but it happens with my mother everytime my uncle's wife comes over and starts to do the dishes, I just stand and watch, because I don't like doing the dishes. These are real dishes, and I've tried this before, because 1.I've been to an Arabian restaurant, the food was great, and, I don't think the fish is Arabian, maybe just something my mom found on line, and I didn't have the luxury of browsing the net for Japanese foods.
