*Sasuke's POV*
"A week?" Sakura asked. Her voice full on with disbelief. Sasuke stood back and opened the car door since Sakura's mouth was rambling but her head lead her otherwise. Sasuke smirked when Sakura absent mindedly gave her bag to Sasuke to put at the back.
"Besides, I can't miss school without any notice. They'll fail me! And what about you parents? Do they know about this? My aunt! She'll be furious!" Sasuke heard as he got in. As much as he might actually like her, this side of her was going to be the cause of his ears going deaf.
"Pink," he said quietly. But that didn't help.
"Sasuke, I'll be in so much-" Sakura was stunned when Sasuke held up a folded piece of paper.
"Relax, Pink. My parents know. Your aunt knows and she'll dismiss us from school." Sasuke handed her the paper and began driving.
"My bucket list," Sakura gasped as she unfolded it.
"I ditched school so that I could see your aunt. She gave me that." Sasuke glanced at her before saying: "And that's what we're gonna' do on this road trip." Sasuke finished. He stopped the car at the robot and put on his seat belt. Sakura sighed and did the same.
A silence fell on the two as Sakura lost herself in her thoughts.
"So, Pink. What's first on the list?" Sasuke asked as he turned onto the road to mist. Taking the longest route.
"Find a waterfall and jump from where it starts to the big puddle it creates at the bottom." Sakura read.
*Sakura's POV*
Sakura glanced outside the window at the forest they were currently driving by. She spotted two squirrels, jumping and running on a branch of a tree. She watched them run along the branch and disappear into thick dark and light green leaves.
About ten minutes later, they drove past a stop and rest area where Sakura spotted a female, male and son. The women was sitting and watching the two males play. Sakura smiled at this. This making her a tad bit sad as she remembered how she and her brother used to play and her parents used to watch. Sometimes they'd even play with.
It was no mystery for Sakura to identify that the reason she felt a bit sad was because she missed her parents. A lot.
"There's a waterfall not too far from here and your maid was kind enough to pack you a bag. So when we get there, I'll leave you to get dressed." Sasuke brought her back to reality.
Sakura nodded. It was clear that Sasuke didn't need her gloomy attitude so she sucked in a deep breath and planted a smile on her face.
It wasn't long till they reached the waterfall and Sasuke drove to the top. Like he said, Sasuke parked the car and got out to give her some privacy. Sakura searched through the things at the back and found her small cream bag. She dug into it until she found her one piece bather. She changed and once ready, she got out.
Sakura grasped at the view in front of her. The scenery was as gorgeous as ever. The brown, black, dark green, light green, mud and all the other colours of nature blended finely. The trees towered over the waterfall, creating shade.
"Ey! Aren't you going to jump?" Sakura heard a voice shout. She looked all around her but didn't find anything.
"Look down Pink!" It came again. Down there in the water was her companion. He had jumped in while she dressed. The sneaky thing. Sakura looked around for his clothes and found a heap over by a rock. Sakura blushed as she realized her was either naked or had on his boxers.
"Worried your makeup's gonna spoil?" Sasuke shouted again. At this Sakura shook her head. She gathered up the courage and jumped.
Sakura enjoyed every moment of it. The wind gliding through her hair, the pull gravity had on her and lastly the splash of cold natural water on her skin as she landed in the water. Sakura whipped her face and hair to the back as she gasped for water.
"Sasuke swam up to her and smirked. "Wanna' go again? There's a trail leading up from here." Sasuke pointed to where it began. Sakura splashed him with water.
"You cheater! I jumped in and you took the short cut." Sakura laughed as she splashed him wet.
"No, I swear I jumped. You took long so while I waited, I checked for a path leading up." Sasuke spoke, hiding his face from the splashes.
"Race you up." Sakura said as she took the head start and began swimming for the path. Sasuke smirked. "Ey, not fair!" He whined and also began swimming.
It was sunset when the two decided not to continue anymore. Both tired from the fun. Sakura sat with her towel around her arms as she watched Sasuke set the fire a light.
Sakura had to admit. He was damn sexy, the way the light of the sky danced on his biceps as he cursed the fire for not starting. She was also grateful for the lovely day he had given her.
"What's number two on your list?" Sasuke asked once he finally got the fire started. It took a while but he did it.
"I don't know. Its in the car, on the dashboard." Sakura told Sasuke. He nodded and made his way to the car. On his return, Sakura noticed that he had fetched two comfortable blankets. A bed cover and a normal one.
"Sleep under the stars and celebrate a new day" Sakura read. Sasuke laid the blankets down. He folded it so that the comforter made a sleeping bag and the normal one made a sleeping bag also.
"Cool. Here's your bed." Sasuke announced. Sakura stared at him. "What?"
"There's no way you're sleeping under that thin thing." Sakura got up. she made a big bed, laying the thin one underneath, and the comforter on top. "That's better." She stated and started walking away.
"You don't mind sleeping under the same thing as me?" Sasuke called out.
"Not if you don't try anything." With that, Sakura disappeared into the car to get dressed.
When she came back, Sasuke went and got dressed. Sakura laid underneath the comforter, looking up. It seemed like a while before Sasuke's voice was heard.
"See anything you like up there?" Sakura turned and watched Sasuke lay down next to her.
"Just the stars I guess." Sakura lifted up Sasuke's arm and laid her head on his chest. Glad that he didn't push her off. "Thank you Sasuke." she said, her finger tracing patterns on his t-shirt.
"For?" Sasuke asked. Sakura felt him put the arm she was laying on, on her waist.
"The day," she whispered. "I only know him for such a little time. But I'm sure I'm falling for him with each second the passes," Sakura thought to herself as she drifted into a slumber.
