She licked her finger and wiped off a piece of cheesecake off of his nose. They laughed at each other.
'Blooming in my grateful heart…'

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it

Morning, Day 2
July 11
Sakura had awoken way too early that morning. She couldn't go back to sleep, the attracting smell of cooking bacon downstairs led her down to the kitchen.
"Mikoto-san? Why are you preparing breakfast so early? And isn't Iko supposed to be doing this type of thing?" The pink-haired girl asked nervously. The woman smiled as she wiped her hands with her apron.
"Iko is still asleep. And it would be a bother to her if I woke her up. She stayed up late with the rest of the maids last night. Their already planning Sasuke-kun's party." She informed.
"Eh? Sasuke-kun has a birthday?!" She yelled as if it were the most surprising thing in the whole world. Mikoto giggled.
"Sakura-chan, of course he has a birthday. Even if he seems like a stone, he's still human." She pointed out. Sakura sighed.
"I guess I just never thought of it…Mikoto-san, it'll be a shame if that food you cooked for breakfast gets cold by the time everyone else wakes up. It's still very early." The pink-haired woman said, eyeing the bacon, biscuits, scrambled eggs and many other delicious looking food.
"Oh, feel free to dig in right now!" The Uchiha woman chirped, heading over to grab a plate.
"N-no! I feel strange when eating by my self…" She trailed off, rubbing her arm shyly.
"Oh. Then, I'll eat with you!" Mikoto said. Sakura giggled.
'She sure has a lot of backup plans…'
A few minutes after they ate some breakfast, Sasuke came downstairs.
"Hm? Mom? Why are you up so…" He glanced at Sakura.
"Sakura, do you have any idea what sleep is? How long have you been up?" He asked in a stern tone.
"Um…only about…one hour." She replied sheepishly. Sasuke sighed.
"You woke up at four in the morning? Go back upstairs and get some sleep. The others won't wake up until six." He said.
"But…I don't feel sleepy…" She muttered, biting into a piece of juicy bacon.
"Go. Upstairs." He pointed towards the stairs, with his eyes closed.
"Sasuke-chan, let the girl be." Mikoto said.
"Hm? Protective already, little brother?" Itachi spoke as he walked through the door.
"Eh? Itachi-kun, what were you doing outside so late???" Sakura questioned.
"Oh…things." He replied, hiding a suspicious looking bag behind his back. (heh, heh, he went out to buy porn!)
"Anyways, don't force her to do things, Sasuke." Itachi continued. Sasuke mumbled something under his breath as he bit into a large biscuit, dusted with cheese.
"Good morning, mates!" Iko shouted, imitating an Australian accent and she jumped from the top step of the stairs to the bottom floor. Sakura jumped up in surprise.
"I-Iko-chan?! How can you jump from up there to down here?!" She yelled. Iko grinned.
"Oh, I do that all the time. But today, I feel even more energetic!" The bubbly girl replied.
"Oh! Bacon and scrambled eggs!" She stuffed her mouth full of food, then realized something.
"Uchiha-chan-sama, did you make this?! Ah! I was supposed to! I'm sorry for my horrible selfishness!" Iko shouted. Sakura sweat-dropped.
'Uchiha-chan-ama…?'
"Oh, no, dear, it's perfectly fine. I enjoy cooking." Mikoto answered kindly. Iko began crying.
"I'm…I'm so touched!" She yelled, wiping her tears. Everyone took this time to sweat-drop anime style.
Three Hours Later
"C'mon, Sakura!" Ino dragged the hesitant girl towards the photo booth.
"No, I'm okay, Ino-pig! A-and besides, there's not enough room and "—
Sasuke's arm came out of the photo booth and tugged, pulling her into the photo booth. Ino followed.
"Stop complaining. There's plenty of room." He said. She blushed.
"T-that's because I'm in your lap, baka!" She said loudly, a bright red blush still on her cheeks. He smirked.
"Exactly."
Ten Ten inserted the money and so, the fun began.
------------------------------
"Aha! Ino-pig, you look so funny here!" Sakura laughed loudly, pointing at the blonde girl who was seriously looking like a pig. Ino sighed.
"Shut up, forehead! At least I wasn't looking like a freaking tomato the whole time!" She yelled back. The pink-haired girl gave an offended look.
"Stop arguing guys, this day is supposed to be a fun time at the mall." Ten Ten interrupted their small argument. Hinata pointed her index fingers together shyly.
"Um…that ice-cream p-parlor looks…d-d-decent…" She whispered. Naruto grinned.
"Yea! Hinata-chan's idea is great! C'mon, guys!" He yelled like a child who just had coffee.
"Um…we'll pass. You two go on and have fun." Ten Ten said in a hurried tone, pushing them towards the ice-cream shop. Once they were both out of sight, Neji cocked an eyebrow up at her.
"Do you plan on pairing up my cousin and that n00b?" He asked.
"Oh, look! A weapon shop! Ten Ten, didn't you want to observe the kunai here?" Ino said, a plan forming in her head.
"Um…I can see that later…" The brunette replied, realizing Ino's plan.
"Actually, I was planning on looking at the swords…" Neji trailed off. Sakura's eyes brightened.
"Ah! Ten Ten, since you have so much experience in weapons, why don't you get help Neji…er…look around?" She insisted, pushing the couple away.
"Um…no, really…I…uh"—
"Actually, Ten Ten, I think I really might need help looking around." Neji stopped her sentence short. The girls looked at him in surprise.
'Now Neji's offering??!!!'
"So…" He glanced around.
"Bye."
He took Ten Ten by the wrist and the two disappeared into the crowd. Ino sighed dreamily.
"Huh…our little Neji-chan is growing up so fast!" The blonde said, wiping away a fake tear.
"If Neji heard you say that, you would be so dead by now." Shikamaru pointed out. The girl glared at him.
"If you say something like that again, you'll be the dead one!" She threatened. Her blue eyes soon drifted off to a nearby shop selling stuffed plushies. Then, she looked towards Sasuke and Sakura.
"Forehead girl, you like stuffed bunnies, don't you?" The blonde asked.
"Um…yea…" She replied, a bit confused.
"Well, look at that! Stuffed bunnies that are fifty percent off!" She yelled happily, acting like a sales person or something.
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but your so hot that i melted
I fell right through the cracks, and i'm tryin to get back
before the cool done run out i'll be givin it my best test
and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
Sasuke glared at the Yamanaka girl. Sakura eyed a small, pink bunny holding a big, plush star.
"Um…" Sakura looked in her pocket to see if she had money. Sasuke saw her frown deeply.
"Crap, I forgot all my money back at the summer home…" She cursed, looking sadly at the bunny she wanted so bad. The bunny seemed to look sad too. Sasuke grabbed her wrist and the two vanished into the small, quaint shop.
I won't hesitate no more,
no more, it cannot wait i'm yours
"Hey, you." Sasuke said, looking towards one of the workers in the shop. The girl was wearing a cute, but revealing, maid outfit. Her hair was dark red and tied into two adorable buns, decorated with pins dangling with small bunny charms…this girl looked a lot like…
"I-Iko-chan?!" Sakura shouted in surprise. Iko turned around and gasped.
"Wow! It's Sakura-chan and Uchiha-sama…and they're together! How kawaii!" She grinned, pinching Sasuke's cheeks. He scoffed as he pushed her hands away from his face. He rubbed his aching cheeks.
"What brings you two here?" Iko asked.
"The real questions is, why are you here and what is with that outfit? You look like a prostitute." Sasuke said. Sakura hit his arm lightly.
"Sasuke-kun, that's rude!" She snapped. The red-haired girl sighed.
"Sasuke-sama has a right to ask that question…you know of the small house I rented by yours, right, Sasuke-sama?" She asked. Sasuke nodded.
"I…I needed to get another job in order to be able to pay for it." Iko continued.
"And…this job pays a lot, considering the fact that girls have to wear these outfits. So, I applied and got the job! I was able to pay for the rent but…lately…men…" She drifted off.
"Mainly men like to come in here. You know, to buy presents for their girlfriends and such…but…"
"Iko, quit this job. You can come and live at the summer home." He said. Iko looked up at him in surprise.
"N-no! I can't possibly"—
"Iko-chan, I can't stand watching you work here! Please, listen to Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said. Iko looked hesitant. She looked at her empty wrist, as if she had a watch on.
"It's…it's my break time." She muttered as she made her way through the crowd to go inside a room that read 'Employees Only'.
"Poor Iko-chan…" The pink-haired girl murmured. The Uchiha next to her scoffed.
"This whole mess was her own fault. Just leave her alone." He advised.
Sakura sighed.
Well open up your mind and see like me
open up your plans and damn you're free
look into your heart and you'll find love love love
listen to the music at the moment maybe sing with me
Ah, la peaceful melody
It's your god forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved Loved
"Anyways, you wanted that bunny holding a star, didn't you?" Sasuke asked, pointing at the said object. The pink-haired girl nodded.
"B-but you don't have to buy it for me! I really"—
She looked to her side to see he was already gone and at the cash register, paying for the bunny.
"Sasuke-kun!" She yelled, whining. He thrust the bag into her arms and began walking away, signaling her to follow. Sakura jogged after him, clutching tightly into the bag.
"Sasuke-kun…seriously…you didn't have to…"
"This might be your only chance to be here. Enjoy it while it lasts." Sasuke said. Sakura stared at him, then smiled.
"Thank you, Sasuke-kun!" She chirped, grabbing his arm. He flinched at the quick contact, but soon relaxed. They soon met up with a blushing Naruto and Hinata, a flushed Neji and Ten Ten and a content Shikamaru and Ino.
"So…how was it…?" The blonde asked, nudging Sasuke happily. He shrugged.
"Nothing much…I just bought her a toy." He replied back. Ino frowned.
"You mean you two didn't kiss?" She asked.
"I-Ino-pig! Don't jump to sudden conclusions!" The pink-haired girl shouted. Her friend sighed.
"C'mon, Naruto and Hinata shared their first kiss together…in an old-fashioned ice-cream parlor, but oh well…and Neji and Ten Ten had their first kiss together too! And they tongued!!!" She said loudly, causing people to stare at her.
Hinata turned a color of a tomato; while Ten Ten refrained herself from stabbing her newly bought kunai into Ino's back.
"Um…well how about you and Shikamaru? Do you two do anything?" Sakura countered back. Ino shrugged.
"Of course. We were in the furniture section. They kicked us out though, because we were making out on the bed." She replied with a huge grin. Sakura's cheeks turned red, as she imagined the scene.
"Anyways, we should get going. It's pretty late. You know how Mikoto-san is." Ino pointed out. They nodded in agreement.
