"I need you help" he told them. The others looked at each other and faced him again.
"For what?" Ino asked.
"Tomorrow's Sakura's birthday" Sasuke told them "I want it to be extra special but I can't do it alone" he told them. The others smiled.
"No problem Teme" Naruto assured him "Leave it to us!"
Chapter 16: Best Birthday ever!
Sakura squirmed in the bed and realized that Sasuke wasn't beside her. She groaned and squirmed again. She listened closely outside to find out if they were outside but and didn't here a sound which was unlikely since she would always hear Naruto yelling, 'DAMN YOU NEJI GIVE BACK MY RAMEN'. or 'WILL YOU STOP SAYING BIG WORDS PINEAPPLE HEAD! IT MAKES MY HEAD HURT!' or something like that.
"What's up with everyone?" she thought. She got up and rubbed her eyes to examine the room. Then that's when she noticed the cherry blossom petals on her bed. She picked up one and caressed it softly.
"Why are there cherry blossoms here?" she asked herself and before she can find out the answer, she heard the door open and saw Sasuke peek in. He smiled when he saw her and entered with a tray of food. He placed it down, sat beside her on the bed and wrapped his arms around her. Sakura smiled and laid againts his chest.
"Morning…" Sasuke murmured as he nuzzled her neck.
"Hm…morning" Sakura replied. Sakura glanced at the food he placed down.
"Is that breakfast?" she asked. Sasuke looked at her and nodded. He stood up and took the tray.
"Eat up" he told her while sitting down beside her again. Sakura smiled and examined the food. It was heart shaped pancakes with syrup and butter on top. There was also strawberry juice in a tall glass and a little vase with a rose and some more cherry blossom petals on the tray.
"Who prepared this?" she asked.
"I did" Sasuke answered her nonchalantly while sitting beside her again.
"Really?" Sakura was a bit surprised.
"Is it that hard to believe?" Sasuke smirked.
"Um..It's just that I never….saw you cook before" she smiled.
"Hinata helped me" he told her. Sakura nodded and Sasuke gave her a spoon and fork to eat with. Sakura smiled and took a piece in her mouth.
"Wow…this is really good" she complemented while chewing.
"Can I taste?" Sasuke asked. Sakura nodded, grabbed a piece and held the fork near his mouth but Sasuke smirked and placed it down.
"Not that way" he smirked and Sakura had a confused expression. Then he placed his lips against hers and licked her bottom lip, asking for entrance. Sakura granted even though she had some food in her mouth. His tongue went in hers so he was able to taste it in her mouth. Then he finally pulled away, with a smirk on his face.
"It is good" he smirked. Sakura was blushing and Sasuke chuckled at her reaction and wrapped his arms around her and watched her as she ate. When she was finished, Sakura laid on Sasuke's chest while he stroked her hair. They stayed like that for quite a while when Sasuke received a text message. He read the message and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing" Sasuke answered while putting his cell phone back in his pocket. "The dobe just needs me to go somewhere with them… "he sighed.
"You should go" Sakura told him.
"You don't mind?" Sasuke asked.
"Of course not" Sakura smiled and caressed his cheek. Then his lips met hers and Sasuke slowly pulled away.
"I'll see you later" he whispered and Sakura kissed his cheek and nodded. Sasuke took her tray and left her room.
Sakura sighed and laid on her bed. The no big deal thing was partly a lie. It bothered her a little since she wanted to spend more time with him (like she doesn't do that almost 24/7) But what bothered her more was that he forgot to greet her on her birthday.
'It's quite unlikely for him to forget' she thought then came up with excuses. 'Maybe he just forgot…' she started to think. 'I mean, Sasuke-kun is human after all and you can't expect him to remember everything…'
Before she had time to think some more, The door flying open cut her off. The girls barged into her room.
"HEY FOREHEAD!" Ino practically yelled. Tenten walked behind her and she hit her on the head.
"You didn't need to barge in" she told the blonde. Hinata was behind her too.
"Oh hi guys" Sakura greeted and got up "What's up?"
"We are going shopping forehead!" Ino squealed while Sakura showed a confused look.
"Why?"
Ino rolled her eyes "For you too look fabulous of course! You got be beautiful tonight!"
"Why? What's going on tonigh-"
"Ugh..stop it with the questions" Tenten cut in "Let's just do some shopping. You'll know this evening anyway."
Sakura shrugged and changed into her jeans then she was practically dragged out by a restless blonde.
Sasuke was walking in a nearby mall, looking around for the other giuys when he was grabbed by the dobe.
"What took you so long teme!" he complained.
"Let go of me dobe!" Sasuke told him. Neji and Shikamaru were right behind Naruto.
"Everything ok?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah everything's going smoothly" Neji stated. "But let's focus. I'm sure you know why we're here"
Sasuke was blank for a moment and Naruto hit his forehead with his hand.
"YOUR BUYING SAKURA A PRESENT!" He yelled and Sasuke covered his mouth.
"Ssh…I know that! And you shouldn't scream out loud! The girls might be here!" Sasuke told him and Naruto nodded.
"Well, let's not waste time on the dobe, let's go!" Shikamaru said and off they went.
"Hey let's go in here!" Ino squealed, pulling Sakura into a store filled with beautiful dresses.
"Have a look around Sakura" Tenten told her. Sakura did and found a dress she liked and checked the price.
"Oh my gosh look at the prices of this dresses!" she exclaimed "I can't afford these!"
"Don't worry Sakura-chan" Hinata smiled. "You won't pay"
"I…won't?" Sakura echoed, confused "But who will? You guys?"
"No and stop talking forehead and try on the dresses!" Ino told her and gave her a handful of dresses to try.
"But-" Sakura was caught off by Ino pushing her into a dressing room.
"Well, what kind of present do you plan to buy?" Shikamaru asked the Uchiha who shrugged.
"I'm not sure…" he replied.
"Maybe we can look around for a while" Neji said.
"Let's start there!" Naruto exclaimed, pointing to a shoe shop.
"Shoe shop?" the other 3 said at the same time.
"Hey girls like shoes don't they?"
The other guys looked at each other and shrugged. Then the guys entered the store.
"Good afternoon" an employee greeted them as they entered. Then Naruto lead the way to the women's shoes and looked at different sandals and high heel shoes. The other 33 glanced around while looking and could feel people staring at them. Soon, Sasuke became uncomfortable.
"Damn they're staring" Sasuke murmured.
"What do you expect? Us guys looking around at women's shoes" Neji murmured back.
"Will you hurry up dobe?" Shikamaru complained.
"In a sec!" Naruto replied while checking out a pink sandal. Then the other 3 were surprised when he started trying it on.
"What the heck are you doing?" Neji sneered.
"Checking the size" Naruto replied.
"Your buying it?" Shikamaru exclaimed.
"NO!" Naruto exclaimed. "Me and Sakura has the same size!"
The others sighed and nodded. Then Naruto realized that the sandal was too small and approached a sales lady.
"Hey can ypu please get me a larger one?" Naruto asked. The girl had a creeped out face but nodded and took the sandal. The group waited impatiently until he girl came back and handed Naruto a larger sized sandal. Then Naruto started trying it on and the other 3 pretended they didn't know him.
"Ok it fits!" Naruto soon exclaimed "I'll take it!"
The woman led them to the counter and they paid for the sandals.
"I'm buying another gift…" Sasuke murmured.
"You don't like the sandal?" Naruto asked.
"I feel that it's not the right gift…" he answered. The others just shrugged then when they were about to leave the store, The 3 realized that Naruto wasn't there. They looked back and saw Naruto talking to a sales woman with a high heeled shoe in his hand.
"I thought you already bought a shoe or sandal" Shikamaru told Naruto.
"I know"
"Is that another gift?" Neji asked.
"No"
"Then what's it for?" Sasuke asked. Naruto was blushing a little and hesitated for a while.
"I'm buying it"
The other guys' jaws dropped and Naruto found out why.
"HEY IT'S NOT FOR ME!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Let's just go" Sasuke murmured and dragged the dobe out the store.
"Ow! Let go teme!" Naruto whined and Sasuke did so.
"Let's go there!" Naruto exclaimed again and now pointed to a store selling bags. He ran inside and the 3 sighed and followed.
"How about this one" Sakura asked the girls while showing them a while dress. The 3 had skeptical looks on their faces.
"No I don't think so…" Ino murmured.
"just try the pink one! It will really suit you I'm sure!" Hinata suggested and Sakura went back to change. When she stepped out, the girl's jaws dropped.
The dress was a perfect fit. It showed her curves beautifully. There was designs of rose petals at the bottom of the dress and the length reached a few inches under her knees. There was a lace that goes around her neck which held the dress up.
"I love it!" Ino squealed and Tenten and Hinata can't help but agree.
"We are so getting that!" Tenten smiled. Sakura smiled back and then Ino glanced outside the store. She gasped as she saw the boys coming inside. Tenten and Hinata followed her gaze and gasped too.
"Uh…go get dressed Sakura!" Ino told her and pusjed her into the dressing room. Then the girls approached the guys. They seemed surprise to see them too.
"What are you doing here?" Naruto asked.
"The question is why are you guys doing here?" Tenten asked as well.
"Buying Sakura a present" Neji stated.
"Oh really? What did you buy?" Ino asked.
"A lot of stuff" Shikamaru said.
"The Uchiha can't decide" Neji added.
"Why don't you just get her jewelries Sasuke" Hinata suggested. Sasuke's head shot up and then he started to think about it.
"Good idea" Sasuke suddenly said.
"Hey Naruto!" she greeted and the group cringed.
'Uh oh'
"Quick hide!" Naruto told the other guys. The 3 still froze so Naruto took action. With Ino's help, they pushed the 3 into a nearby store. Just in time too.
"Umm…H-hey Sakura" Naruto tried grinning.
"What are you doing here?" she asked "Weren't you with some other people?"
"Oh no!" Naruto replied "I was alone actually."
"Oh..ok" Sakura nodded 'So Sasuke wasn't here after all' she though then sighed. The Sakura noticed the shopping bags that Naruto held. Naruto followed her gaze and blushed.
"Oh um…I.." Naruto stampered "I went….shopping"
Sakura nodded then spied something in the bags.
"Is that lingerie?" Sakura exclaimed. Naruto followed her gaze and blushed.
"Um…it's not what you think!"
"Naruto can I ask you something?" Sakura asked.
"Uh… sure" Naruto replied, surprised by the change of topic.
"Are you sure your straight?"
The other girls tried not to laugh and Naruto blushed harder.
"It's not mine! It's…Uh…Hinata's!" He exclaimed.
"Oh…why didn't you say so!" Sakura smiled. "Sorry about that"
"It's ok Sakura-chan!" Naruto grinned "Well gotta go!" then he was out of sight.
"Ok…" Ino murmured. "Well let's pay for the dress, shall we?"
The others nodded and headed for the counter.
Naruto went into the store to look for the other 3 and soon found them, looking miserable.
"Hey what happened to you guys?" Naruto asked. The 3 glared at him.
"You pushed us straight to the changing rooms!" Shikamaru hissed.
"So?"
"This is a lingerie store you dobe!" Sasuke hissed and Naruto looked around and realized that.
"Oops…sorry" he apologized. The 2 sighed.
"Well at least we didn't suffer what Neji did." Shikamaru sighed.
"Which is?" Naruto asked, curiously. And as if by cue, Neji approached them with a red hand print on his cheek.
"Ok…." Naruto was kinda speechless. Let's just go to the jewelry store! Shall we?" Naruto ran ahead to escape Neji's wrath and the 3 just sighed and followed him.
The guys finally arrived at the jewelry store and they were looking around.
"How about that! Or that! Oh pick this one!" Naruto kept on yelling and pointing to different jewelries. The other 3 paid little attention to him.
"Picked yet Sasuke?" Shikamaru asked but Sasuke shook his head.
"I just can't find the right one"Sasuke sighed and Naruto walked over to him.
"Why don't you just ask a personalized one?" Naruto suggested and the group looked at him.
"You know, you send a design and they make it?" He added and the other 3 looked at each other.
"Genius…" Neji suddenly said.
"Best idea you had dobe" Sasuke smirked and gave Naruto a high five.
"Why didn't I think of that?" Shikamaru mumbled. He shook his head and just followed the others.
Few hours Later:
"Hey! Where are we going?" Sakura asked the girls who were dragging her somewhere. Then the stopped.
"You know where the cliff is right?" Ino asked Sakura who nodded. "Go there!"
"B-but why?" Sakura asked.
"Just go!" the girls yelled simultaneously. Sakura sighed and just decided to follow their orders.
Sakura walked her way to the cliff and thought to herself as she went there.
'What are they up too?' she thought 'This is really suspicious! They won't even tell me! If this is some kind of trick, they will definitely meet my-'
She finally reached the cliff and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until someone covered her eyes with his hands.
"S-Sasuke?" she whispered. The person moved closer to her ear.
"No it's Naruto!"
Sakuras was startled and quickly turned around. It was Naruto.
"Why did you just…" she wasn;t able toi continue her sentence.
"Oh sorry…umm…I'm sure you wanted the fluff now so I uh…better hurry" Naruto stampered. "Your on the wrong cliff Sakura."
Said person had a confused look.
"The hill you needed to go was over there" naruto pointed to a cliff close by and Sakura mouthed an oh.
"Then why are you here?" she asked.
"Oh this is where I sing my songs" Naruto grinned and pulled out his guitar. "You better go now" he smiled. Sakura nodded and left, still a little creeped out.
Sakura went to the cliff Naruto told her and was surprised when she saw a bouquet of flowers on the grass. It was close by the edge but not too close. She picked it up and smiled.
"You like it?" She heard someone say. She quickly turned around and was surprised when lips were against hers. But even though she didn't see the person yet, she knew immediately who it was.
"Sasuke…" she whispered as they pulled away. The said person smirked and kissed her on the forehead.
"You like the flowers?" he whispered and Sakura nodded. Then Sasuke led her a safe distance from the edge, showing her the beautiful sunset.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Sasuke asked her and Sakura just nodded. Then she suddenly remembered something.
'My dream…' she thought 'This is exactly what was in my dream before' she kept on thinking as she looked at Sasuke whose hands were in his pockets and a gentle wind blew his raven hair. The stared at him for quite a while when Sasuke snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Sakura? You ok?"
"Uh..yeah…I'm fine" she smiled. Sasuke smirked and sat down on the grass and made her sit on his lap. Sakura placed the bouquet at the side and sat down. Sakura placed his arms around her and kissed her hair.
"Why are we here?" Sakura asked.
"It's your b-day isn't it?" Sasuke asked and Sakura nodded. "Well I wanted to spend time with you. Why… don't you like it?"
Sakura smiled and shook her head "No I like it of course. I wanted to spend time with you as well" she told him. Sasuke smirked and buried his face in her hair.
Then Sakura could feel him staring at her and she giggled 'cause he really was.
"What?" she asked. Sasuke smirked and then started tickling her. Sakura kept on laughing as she leaned on Sasuke's chest. When he finally stopped, she still giggled a little and heard Sasuke chuckle as he kissed her temple and hug her.
"What was that for!" She exclaimed.
"Just wanna make sure your happy" Sasuke told her. Sakura shook her head and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Of course I'm happy Sasuke" she smiled. "Why wouldn't I be?" she whispered in his ear. Sasuke smiled back and their lips met. Then Sakura stayed cuddled in his arms until Sasuke's phone rang.
"Hello" Sasuke said and listened to the caller. "Ok…Ok" he said and closed his phone.
"What's wrong Sasuke?" Sakura asked.
"Just go to the hotel room and change." hew told her "The girls will be there to meet you"
"Why" she asked. But Sasuke just kissed her forehead.
"Do you trust me?" he asked and Sakura nodded.
"Then go. We'll meet again anyway" he told her. Sakura smiled and gave him a kiss before she left.
'What's going on?' she whined in her thoughts. She just shook her head and made her way to the hotel.
Indeed the other girls were there and they started dressing Sakura up.
"You ned to be gorgeous forehead" Ino said as she did her hair.
"tell me why!" Sakura whined but the girls didn't answer.
"Why doesn't just Sakura let her hair down ino?" Hinata asked as she added blush on Sakura's cheeks. She made sure it was light and not too much.
"Fine…" Ino pouted and combed her hair. Tenten examined her and smiled.
"Perfect" she said and the other 2 can't help but agree.
Sasuke waited impatiently for Sakura to arrive. Then Naruto walked by his side.
"Everything's perfect teme" he told him. Sasuke nodded and still waited.
'Where si she?' he wondered. Then as if by cue, She sad the pink haired maiden walking by and he his eyes went wide.
Sakura was wearing the pink dress with rose petals at the bottom. It suited her perfectly and her hair gently swayed in the wind. To summarize, she's gorgeous.
Sakura finally looked his way and when she saw Sasuke, she blushed hard. He was wearing a dark suit which somewhat looks like a tuxedo but more simple. He was like every girls dream and she was damn lucky. A table was set by the shore and it looked lovely because of the sunset.
She approached him and when Sasuke snapped out if it, he walked over to her too and twirled her around. Sakura giggled and when he put her down, he placed his nose against her cheek
"You looks so…beautiful" he whispered and kissed her cheek.
"You look damn handsome yourself" she whispered back and kissed him. Sasuke eagerly kissed back and it took a while until they parted. Sasuke led her to her seat and assisted her before he sat down on his seat. Then Naruto came out in a waiter suit, carrying their food. Sakura stifled a giggle and Naruto gave them their food.
"Enjoy your meal" he smiled and bowed before leaving. The 2 started eating and they would glance at each other from time to time. Sakura would feed Sasuke and Sasuke would do the same without even a little hesitation! (Gasp)
Then Sasuke stood up and grabbed a guitar.
"Sasuke..what are you-" Sakura was cut off by Sasuke standing up and walking next to the other guys with their own instruments.
"This is for you Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled and they started playing. They played "Touch my Hand" by David Archuleta (I'm not putting the lyrics cuz it's already long^^)
When he finished, Sakura stood up and hugged Sasuke tightly.
"That was wonderful!" Sakura complemented and kissed his cheek. Sasuke smirked and Sakura faced the other guys.
"Thanks too!"
"No prob" The guys said and left. Then music started to play. It was 'Realize' by Colbie Caillat.
Sasuke smiled and asked Sakura to dance. Sakura greatly accepted and Sasuke wrapped his arms around her as Sakura warpped her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his chest as they danced slowly. The others were spying by the bushes.
"That's so sweet!" Ino squealed and glared at Shikamaru "Why aren';t we like that!"
"Shhh guys…" Naruto told them "I thinbk they need their privacy."
The others nodded and left the couple alone.
Sakura and Sasuke arrived at their room. They noticed that the others were not yet there. They shrugged and went to their room. Then Sakura yelped as Sasuke picked her up and carried her bridal style to the bed then lied down next to her. Then he stated kissing her face.
"Sasuke… stop" she giggled and Sasuke did so. They stared at each other for some moments and then Sasuke was surprised when Sakura kissed him. Sasuke kissed her back with so much passion then they finally parted after a really long time.
Thank you Sasuke…" she whispered in his ear as he buried his face at the crook of her neck.
"I love you….Sakura" He whispered back and Sakura smiled as she caressed his hair.
"I love you too" she whispered back. Sasuke adjusted herself so that her head was against his chest. His arms wrapped around her and he buried his face in her hair.
"Go to sleep Sakura…" Sasuke mumbled as he caressed her hair. Then he stated humming her the song he just sang and it lulled Sakura to sleep.
"Sasuke-kun.." she mumbled before she drifted off to sleep.
