I HOPE my update isn't too late. ^^ Btw, here's the disclaimer I usually forget to write: I DO NOT own Naruto, sadly.

Date Go Well or Not?
"Damn, they tell me to come here, and set me up? With Sasuke Uchiha? What am I supposed to do?" Sakura was slightly panicking, but froze, stiff as a board, when she saw TenTen and Temari's eyes peeking through a window near Sasuke. Sakura twitched, almost going out the door to kill those two.
"What the heck?! They set us up, and they sneak peek at us?! Let's go and..."
"Shush, we can't create a scene. I'm just gonna pretend I can't see them. So shut it, Inner."
Sakura walked over to Sasuke, and sat down in her seat. When she got there, she saw that Sasuke was just as surprised as she was.
"So this is the reason you wanted me to come here, huh Neji? I'll have to thank you later," thought Sasuke, as he smirked.
The Uchiha reached for the menu at the center of the table, and at the same time, Sakura extended her hand. Their fingers touched lightly, and Sakura quickly pulled back her hand, blushing a shade of pink.
"Y-You take the menu first Sasuke," said Sakura. Sasuke just took the menu, and gave it to Sakura. The cherry blossom hesitated, but slowly extended her had to take the menu.
"Um, thanks." Sakura buried her head in the menu, pretending to be searching for the dish she wants, while Sasuke called the waiter and got another menu.
While Sasuke was busy searching for the dish that he wants, Sakura quickly turned around in her seat, and glared at the two spying girls. The cherry blossom kept her menu raised, so that Sasuke wouldn't see her head turned towards TenTen and Temari.
"What the heck are you guys doing?" Sakura mouthed out the words. TenTen looked like she didn't have a clue about what Sakura said, but Temari seemed to understand, since she told TenTen what the cherry blossom said.
"Oh joy, Temari's gonna be our interpreter." Sakura kept talking to them, asking them why they did this, silently of course.
"Well, out of the three of us, you're the only one without a boyfriend yet. So, we're doing this as a favor," said Temari. Sakura could read her lips, and she twitched.
"Favor? You could've done nothing, y'know!" Sakura mouthed out to her two friends, who sweatdropped outside. Before TenTencould reply, Temari's eyes wandered over to the entrance of the cafe, and her eyes widened. She shook TenTen and pointed to the entrance. The Chinese girl's eyes bulged out as well.
"Go on with your date Sakura, we're gonna go 'off' for a while," said Temari. Grabbing TenTen's hand and dragging her out of Sakura's sight.
"Sakura, have you decided yet?" She almost jumped at Sasuke's voice. The waiter was already standing at their table. Sakura quickly scanned through the menu and said, "Um, I'll have spagetti. What about you?" Sasuke held out his hand for Sakura's menu. She quickly handed it to him. The Uchiha put the two menus together, and gave them to the waiter.
"I'll have the same as her." The waiter walked away after that, leaving the two of them alone.
Sakura and Sasuke sat still and rigid as boards. The Uchiha had his eyes closed and his arms folded. The cherry blossom kept glancing at the window behind her to see if TenTen and Temari have come back.
"The silence is killing," thought Sakura as she rocked back and forth in her chair.

"What the heck are you guys doing?" Sakura asked us from the inside of the restaurant. I understood what she was saying, but TenTen had a look on her face that said, "What the heck are you saying?"
"She said 'What the heck are you guys doing?'" I answered before she could ask me. Sakura's face looked like she was about to kill us. We talked for a while, but then I saw something from the corner of my eye, so I turned to the entrance. My eyes widened at the people who were standing there. The girly girls of our school a.k.a the bitches of our school.
Ino Yamanaka, the cheerleading captain of our school who just cares about her looks way to much. Karin Kimashi, the person in charge of the cheerleading costumes, which are really slutty by the way. Ami Yokane, another bitch in the cheerleading squad. The girl in charge of practices when Ino was absent. The three of them were always gossiping, not to mention all three of them had enormous crushes on both Uchiha brothers, even if the older Uchiha is a T.A.
I saw that Ino and her girl gang were giggling and gossiping, even now. I shook TenTen's shoulder and pointed to Ino's girl gang at the entrance. I noticed that her eyes widened as well. I turned back to Sakura.
"Go on with your date Sakura, we're gonna go 'off' for a while." Then, I dragged TenTen along with me to the three giggling girls. As we approached them, they noticed us and stopped giggling. Ino folder her arms and faced the two of us.
"Well well, if it isn't the losers. I think there's something missing. Oh right, where is billboard brow anyway?" Oh, how I want to kill her. Sadly murder is not a solution.
Karin and Ami giggled at what Ino said. I felt TenTen twitch beside me. I knew it. When someone insults her, me, or Sakura, she gets tough. And by tough, I mean she settles it right there on the spot. I put my hand on her shoulder to settle her down, indirectly telling her not to lash out at Ino's girl gang.
"It's none of your business where Sakura is." Ino sighed and Karin spoke up.
"I always see you three losers hanging out together. Did billboard brow get scared of you two? Can't blame her." That did it. TenTen tried to break free from my grasp, but I held on tight, and now secured both of my hands onto her shoulders.
"So now, if you'll excuse us, we'll be heading in the cafe. See ya later, losers," said Ami as she flicked her hair, and walked in the cafe, giggling along with her two girly girl pals.
TenTen was still shaking from the insults, and I was about to attack them as well. At least we restrained ourselves from causing a scene. I was about to go back to check on Sakura when, I remembered.
"TenTen! Sakura's screwed! They'll find Sakura and Sasuke together, and who knows what'll happen!" TenTen then, immediately broke free from me and rushed into the cafe. I was right behind her. When I got inside, I froze. TenTen was frozen as well.
I saw Ino's girl gang staring at Sakura and Sasuke. After a while, Ino stomped over to their table. Karin and Ami followed her, all three of them shaking with anger. When all three of them were there, Ino slapped Sakura. After that Karin slapped Sakura's other cheek. It doesn't even end there. Ami flicked her forehead as well, and I don't think she flicked softly. All of them are in big trouble now. TenTen and I rushed over to their table; I grabbed Karin and Ami from behind while TenTen grabbed Ino.
I saw the look on Sakura's face. She was gently touching her cheek, the place where Ino had slapped her. I could see tears welling up in her eyes. I turned to look at Sasuke, and his face showed only one thing: complete and utter shock. I just said "excuse us" to the two of them and dragged the two bitches outside. TenTen followed me, dragging Ino along with her.
I continued dragging the two bitches until I was sure that it was a place where no one could see us. I could hear TenTen behind me, so I know that she would be here soon. I waited for TenTen to show up, and when she did, I released the two struggling bitches in my hands and hit them as hard as I could. Oh, how joyful it would be if I ruined their pretty little nose jobs.
I turned to TenTen and she hit Ino too. Suddenly, Karin and Ami tackled me from behind. So they want a fight, huh? Well if they want one, they got one. Me and TenTen punched them, slapped them, pulled their hair out, and pretty much tortured them. They made comebacks of course, but TenTen and I weren't even hurt much. The only thing we got were a couple of slaps and some scratches.
After the two of us were done with those three, we headed back to check on Sakura.
Sakura POV when Temari and TenTen froze
Finally, I got a conversation going on with Sasuke. Everything was going well, surprisingly. I kept asking Sasuke random questions while eating my spagetti. Suddenly, Sasuke stopped talking and looked up, at something or someone beside our table.
I turned my head to look, and I was greeted by a hand across my cheek. Shock overcame me. Not long after, another hand slapped my other cheek. Oh it doesn't end there. I was flicked on the forehead as well. Damn, the flick was painful too.
"What the hell?! Why I outta! Come on, let's kick their butts!" My Inner is so enthusiastic. My cheeks and forehead were stinging with pain. Tears welled up in my eyes. I tried not to cry. I swore to myself a long time ago that I would no longer be cry baby Sakura. I turned to look at Sasuke, and I could see that he was shocked as well.
I turned back to the three girls that slapped and flicked me, and saw that Temari and TenTen were already dragging them outside. I turned back to Sasuke and saw that his eyes were filled with concern. Concern for... me? Man, my life is a mess. I tried. I tried really hard not to cry, but I just couldn't hold the tears back anymore. I hung my head and let my tears spill out.
I couldn't see it, but I heard Sasuke call the waiter, and I think he paid the bill for both of us. He tugged on my hand gently, telling me to get up. How can I look at him with my tear stained face? I heard him sigh, and felt his hand on my chin, and lift my head up so that I was looking straight at him.
He let go of my chin, and tugged at my hand again. What was the use of resisting now? I got up from my seat and followed Sasuke. He still hadn't let go of my hand. When we got outside, I spotted TenTen and Temari. They saw me and their faces relaxed. Sasuke walked me back home too. It was really... nice of him to do so. I hoped that little scandal back there hadn't affected him in any way.
When we got to my doorstep, Sasuke finally let go of my hand and said a polite good night. (AN: Yes, Sasuke held Sakura's hand the whole way! ^^) I thanked him for walking me home, and quickly gave him a peck on the cheek. Then, I rushed into my house, and ran up to my room.
I took a hot bath and changed into my PJs. Then, I laid in my bed, trying to go to sleep. I closed my eyes, and tried not to think about the incident that happened today at the cafe. After a while though, I fell asleep.
So..... how was this chappie? Please review! ^^
