Scarlet smiled at the sight of the coloured lights and beautiful flowers around her. Sasuke saw her smiling face "so…this is your first festival huh?" he asked. Scarlet looked at him "yup. I've always wanted to go to one…are they pretty good?"

Sasuke smirked "yeah. Pretty good… come on" he took her hand and lead her to a stand. "hey there Scarlet" a voice said from behind. The couple turned and gave a smile…well Scarlet did Sasuke has a reputation you know.

"Kimi? I thought you were training" Scarlet suspiciously said. Kimi gave a wide grin and held up strangely enough a video camera "well there was no way that I was missing this so I snuck out. Shikamaru helped and left a clone for me, you know how Kero is he's pretty silly so he won't notice" she explained. Sasuke raised an eyebrow

"don't mind her Sasuke. She's always like that…" she looks at her friends clothes "especially with wardrobe and movies. What are you wearing?"

Right now our syaoran warrior was wearing a white dress with a red coloured shirt and red trimming at the bottom, white shoes and gloves "I made it myself. Oh! And wait until you see the costumes I have for you for your captures" she squealed. Scarlet felt a large sweat drop form "oh Kimi. You are way to much like Madison" she groaned. Kimi grinned "I know"

"where is Shikamaru?" Sasuke asked suddenly. Scarlet blinked "good point, where is he?"

Kimi looked behind her and pointed "there". they looked and smirked. The lazy ninja was playing the fish game but failed every time "aw man what a drag" he moaned. Kimi giggled and skipped over too him "it's ok Shikamaru, I found it hard too" she said sweetly,

he smiled and stood up "come on lets go get something to eat" he said. His eyes glanced to Sasuke and Scarlet "well well Sasuke Uchiha never thought I would see the day that you would be on a date" he said smugly. Kimi playfully hit him on the arm when Sasuke gave him the Uchiha death glare "leave em alone Shikamaru. Does it really matter?" she scolded. He rubbed his arm since he did find her punch kind of sore. "no ma'm. well since we're all here lets go get some barbeque" he stated.

The 4 friends sat in the restaurant having a nice time, even Sasuke enjoyed it. That is until… "HI SASUKE-KUN!" … yeah Sakura and Ino shouted out that.

He groaned in annoyance and so did the others. The pink haired maniac plopped herself next to Sasuke and clung to his arm "hey forehead girl I was gonna sit there" Ino yelled. Sakura scowled and stuck her tongue out " bite me Ino…Pig!"

"err guys, do you mind?" Shikamaru said boardly. The two screaming kunoichi turned to him "when did you get here?" Ino asked. He slapped his forehead "aw man what a drag. Me and Sasuke have dates here so could you…"

"Wait! Who's Sasuke's date?" Sakura shrieked. Sasuke sighed and indicated that the card captor was right next to him. Sakura was gobsmacked but her inner…(inner punching and kicking) "CHA! How dare that witch be with my Sasuke. Kakashi sensei was supposed to disapprove of this. that's it! I have break them up once and for all CHA!"

"alright you she witch I've had enough of you! I challenge you to a fight! Winner takes all!" she yelled while batting her eyelashes at the Uchiha. Scarlet raised an eyebrow as did Sasuke, Kimi and Shikamaru.

"you have some serious issues my friend" Scarlet stated.

"…!"

Ok now Sakura is really ticked off. She lunged at Scarlet who used jump card to get out of the way.

`crazy fan girl` Sasuke thought angrily. He made a move to stop the fight.

"don't try and stop the fight Sasuke. Scarlet will win. Sakura and Ino will leave you two alone after that" Kimi explained. He turned to look at the black haired girl "and how do you know that?" he asked while turning back to the fight.

Kimi shook her head "well let me think…she's got magical monsters, been my friend since pre-school so I know her well…oh and she's got me" she said while drawing an elemental tab. "element! Wind! Trap the fan girls, come to my aim" she yelled as she touched it. A ball of strong air trapped the two bickering kunoichi so they were unable to move "lets get outta here before they kill us" Scarlet said. "right behind ya" Sasuke followed. "us two" Kimi and Shika said simultaneously

After escaping from the wrath of the pink and blond maniacs the group decided to play some games to shake it off.. Kimi was smiling at all the pictures and film she got to see later.

Sasuke smirked at the targets that his Kunai was imbedded on "we have a winner!" the stall owner yelled. He handed Sasuke a small black box with a key and explained how to work it. He handed it to Scarlet and turned the key. The box opened and played a soft lullaby. Scarlet smiled and gave Sasuke a small hug…which Kimi took a photo of. She ran off with Shikamaru close behind before Scarlet could catch her.

"hey Sasuke wanna go for a walk. It's getting a bit to noisy around here" Scarlet said. He nodded and led her away from the crowds and into the forest.

"better?" he asked. Scarlet nodded and sighed "it's such a beautiful night" she whispered.

"not as beautiful as you" Sasuke mumbled "you say something there Sasuke?" she asked. He shook his head "no I didn't doesn't matter" he quickly said. They walked until they came to a training area. They sat down nervously and turned to look at each other. `now's my chance` Sasuke thought. He slowly leaned closer to Scarlet `OMG! Is he gonna kiss me` Scarlet thought frantically. He came closer and closer almost to her pink lips.

All of a sudden clear little glowing pieces like fire flies started to float down beautifully "wow" Scarlet whispered turning away from Sasuke. He looked up with her slightly angry that he didn't get to kiss her. He stood up as did she. One small glowing piece landed on his finger "I feel it. It's a Clow card" Scarlet whispered

"you sure?" he asked while looking at the glowing piece. She nodded and held out her small key

"Key of Clow. Power of magic. Power of light. Surrender the wand. The force ignite. Release"

Her key grew to the staff. "return to your power confined. Glow!" she tapped her staff in mid air as the glowing pieces went to the card. Scarlet smiled and placed the card in her pocket "I had a feeling one would come on a night like this" she said victoriously.

"got it all Scarlet!" Kimi yelled. Scarlet yelped and looked around until she finally saw her head pop up from a nearby bush as did Shikamaru "and Shika finally saw a capture, he he" she sweetly said. "jeez Sasuke and you almost kissed her too. So troublesome" Shikamaru mumbled.

Sasuke glared at them "did you two follow us?" he said darkly. Both of them gulped and backed away. Sasuke whispered something in Scarlets ear and she nodded. She crossed her arms and began to count down "5...4...3" Kimi yelped and ran off "Shikamaru run!" she yelled. "2...1..." Shikamaru ran as the sharingan user and the card captor ran after them through the festival laughing.

`I almost kissed her…I'll kiss you one day scarlet. I promise myself too`
