'School Year Welcome fair'

As the students enter the campus, banners were everywhere, balloons and different booths.

"So, this is the 'school year welcome fair, aye?" Sakura stated in amazement.

"Yup, this is it" Ino replied. "Now, lets go to our booth."

Sakura and Ino went to their booth. All their classmates were waiting, all wearing their waiters' uniform.

The girls wore a pretty three sister dress, that fits them right. it has a thick spaghetti strap, with extra two layers, colored yellow and white. Underneath was a white puff sleeved shirt and they have a cute collar with a yellow ribbon. They have white socks that reached their middle thigh, both have laces colored yellow and red. All those paired with a shinny closed shoes.

The guys wore a collared shirt yellow tie. Paired with black pants and shoes. They also wore a half-body red apron. They all look terrific!

"Here Ino, Sakura, your uniforms" a girl handed their costumes neatly folded.

"Thanks" they replied with a grin.

Even Naruto and Sasuke were wearing their uniforms. But Naruto was wearing a chief's uniform. I guess he's the one who'll cook the Ramen. (secretly, instant ones)

"Wow! Sakura-chan! You look wonderful"Naruto stated. "Hey teme, whatcha think?"

Sasuke stared at the emerald-eyed teen "She looks the same" He replied and looked away.

Sakura raised her eyebrow. "Was that suppose to be a complement?"

"Maybe." The raven-haired teen replied, stoically.

"Don't listen to him, Sakura. You look wonderful." Naruto stated as he noticed the girl behind Sakura . "Oh, you look good to, Hinata."

Hinata blushed like a ripped potato. I mean ripped tomato! "Th-Thanks N-Naruto-kun, you look good yourself" she stated shyly as Naruto gave a grin in reply.

"Thanks, Naruto. Atleast someone cares" Sakura rolled her eyes.

"No prob guys" The blond guy replied.

"May I have your attention class 'A'." Ino, yelled to get everyone's attention "Listen. Here are the time shifts that we all have. I'll post it inside. Try checking it once in a while, okey?" She then pinned the paper at the wall.

Everybody came closer to look at their shifts.

"Aww.. My shift is two hours later, and I'm with….." Sakura reads more "… I'm with Hinata and…." 'that's good' "And sasuke? Aww…" 'Well, atleast there're others more'

"Everyone, the fair is about to open! Get to your places! 3...2...1...!"

"aww.. We dont have any customers, yet! actually, the only customer we have is Naruto, eating every Ramen made!" Sakura sighed.

"NARUTOOO!" Ino raised her brow "You already ate seven bowls of em! aren't you even human! and why arent you working?"

"yah got lots of questions, lady!" –burp-- first, I'm hungry. second, I'm human, aren't I Sakura-chan? and third, I'm payin, see" the blond guy added, handing his frog shaped wallet. "Fourth, It aint my shift yet!" the blue-eyed teen stated.

She rolled her eyes "Whatever mr. piggy"

Moments later, customers arrived. Parents, students and even teachers. At about lunch time, the restaurant was filled with people.

'Geezz.. I gotta make this fast!' Sakura approached the customers "Good noon. What will you be ordering?" She asked with a smile.

"two bowls of Ramen, a burger and three ice teas." The customer replied.

"Is that all?" The pink-haired girl inquired.

"Yes"

Sakura hurriedly went to the kitchen. "Hey mr. Chiref! Here's the order. Please make it quick!"

When Sakura got the tray with the orders. She hurriedly went out to serve it. Then, 'BAMMM!' She hit somebody. OMG! The Ramen and the juice spilled on him.

"..S-Sasuke?" She looked at him "I-I- I'm sorry" She looked down.. "I wasnt looking. i'm..."

She hadnt finish what she was just about to say when Sasuke grabbed her hand and pulled her inside the kitchen.

"Idiot!" Sasuke said as he wipes the spilled food off. He glared at her.

"Sasuke-kun.. i'm sorry, I really am.." Tears were at the edges of her eyes.

"Are you…crying?" Sasuke asked. His hands touched her face and her eyes wiped the 'about-to-fall' tears of hers. Sasuke rolled his eyes "You're such a crybaby."

"Huh?!" Sakura blushed. "I'm not" She then rubbed her eyes.

"Yeah right! Now stop whining" he replied

"I'm not crying, I'm just sorry, Sasuke"

He looked back "Whatever." he ordered. guess thats the only way to put an end to that loud whining of hers.

immediately stood as she gave a quick embrace at Sasuke.

Everybody in the kitchen saw them. All the girls in there were so irritated, their eyes were burning and like flames were surrounding them.

'Uh oh! I dont want this much attention!' "Its not what you think!"

"Get back to work, Sakura!" Sasuke ordered.

"Hai" Sakura turned back with frown. --Anime tears--

"Oi Sakura," Tenten yelled to get her attention "told yah we'd visit"

"Hey! so wanna order something?" Sakura asked.

"We already did."

"Oi, Haruno, You okey?" Nej inquired.

"I'm ok Neji-kun." She answered.

Tenten looks at her "Then, whats with the face?"

"what face?" She smiles (obviously it was fake) "well.." the breathe deeply. "i just spilled juice and ramen at Sasuke, he said its okey but maybe he's not and he's burnin' mad at me"

"Uchiha? Well thats a laugh." Neji said. "Don't make such a big deal out of it. It's fine." Neji added.

"You think so?" the emerald-eyed teen asked.

"Maybe" The lavender-eyed teen replied as he took a sip.

"Hey, when will you visit our haunted house (maze) booth?" Asked, Tenten.

"Well, it looks like our free time is at 3:30"Answered Sakura.

"3:30? hmm.. I guess thats Neji-kun's 'ghosty' time" Tenten gave a grin "Anyways, we'll be expecting you."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

(lets skip to free time)

"Okey guys, Lets go" Naruto said, ever-so-excited.

Sakura, Ino, Naruto, Hinata, Shikamaru and Sasuke headed to the juniors' booth (Apparently, Naruto forced Sasuke to come)

"Uhm... g-guys, Neji-nee-san t-told me that a group of th-three can enter the house." Hinata shyly said.

"Well then lets group ourselves into three then" Ino suggested.

ofcourse, Sakura, Ino and Hinata were together and Shikamaru, Naruto and Sasuke were in the other. They started walking to the juniors' booth.

Tenten approached them "Hey guys, you came!"

"Ofcourse Ten, we wont let you down" Sakura answered will a smirk.

"Oi, anyways, I'll just warn you about the ghostly gools around the haunted maze house. There are gonna be ghosts who need help, so you should help 'em, and the ones who's grab you and that'll be the cause of your loosidity "Tenten said with a grin.

"L-Loosidity? " Hinata asked.

--sigh-- "I mean you'll loose" Tenten replied. Tenten loves making up new words that's why she has her own dictionary.

"ooh.. This is going to be scary" Naruto told Sasuke, as the onyx eyed teen just rolled his eyes.

"This is a maze, the one that can finish it will have a special prize. Well, actually, until now there are only few who finished the maze, a bunch of seniors. anyways, just wait for your turn."

"1..2..3" Your the next group" a girl standing by the opening said as she counts the groups who'll enter the house.

"Sakura, I guess they're the ones who'll group us as we enter the house"

"uh-oh! i guess we're going to be separated." The pink-haired girl replied.

"1...2..3"

"Sakura-chan" Naruto called-out to get her attention.

Sakura turned back. "Yes?"

"Didnt you hear what the 'grouper' said?"

"uh. guess not. i was talking to Ino, why? what did she say?" The pink haired teen asked.

"We're at the same group!" Naruto answered with a grin.

Sakura was staring at the ground, still processing what Naruto just said. 'We're at the same group? Its a group of three so..' "Hey Naruto, who's our other group mate?"

"Its Sasuke" the blue-eyed boy answered.

"Wha--what? you mean i'm not with Ino nor Hinata? Noooooo..."

Naruto dragged Sakura to the entrance of the haunted maze while she was dramatically doing her drama.

As the door opened, she immediately grabbed Sasuke and Naruto's arms. She was at the middle.

Sasuke gave her the 'dont-touch-me' look. It gave her the chills and so she just grabbed his shirt.

"Oh my god! oh my god!" She was going paranoid.

"You're over reacting, Sakura." Sasuke uttered.

"Dont mind him Sakura-chan. I'll be the one who'll protect you from those monsters." Naruto fearlessly said.

Moments Later, A zombie appeared in front of them.

Naruto was the first who reacted, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" he suddenly jumped at Sakura's hands.

"Naruto, i thought you'll be the one who'll save me."

Then, More ghosts and monsters appeared.

They were running in circles, door to door, hall to hall, room to room. they're not getting anywhere!

As they walked through the halls, a boy was sitting by the door. He was crying and had long hair and...glowing?

"Please help me. please help me.. " the boy murmured.

"Guess he's the ghost we have to help so we can get to the exit." Sasuke implied with his stoic tone.

"please help me, or… i'll EAT YOU!"

They all twitched. "..He'll eat us?." Naruto was going paranoid. "Lets just make a run for it, he looks scary" Naruto immediately grabs the other two's hands and ran.

The boy crawled after them and briskly caught Naruto's foot. He then dragged him unto the darkness.

"You guys! HELP ME!" Naruto yelled

"NARUTO!" Sakura was alarmed seeing naruto being dragged out of her sight. She was so petrified, she cant go after Naruto to the darkness. She instantly embraces Sasuke's arm and ran.

"LET ME GO GHOST. I'LL GIVE YOU RAMEN!" naruto fearfully said to the ghost who pulled him.

"Shut up, Uzumaki!"

'huh? that sounded like..'. Naruto turned around. "…Neji?"

Naruto stared at him, he focused to see Neji's face under the shadows.

"Stop staring, Uzumaki"

When naruto got a clear view . "Hahaha... Is that really you." Neji's face was covered with white make up and all.

He laughed his head off. Naruto was laughing like forever. Then he suddenly paused.

"what are you planning, Neji?" The blond boy asked with a smirk.

"Just leave those two alone, Uzumaki. and dont mess it up"

"oh." Naruto replied with wide grin.

the two were still running around. Sakura was looking back as she pulls Sasuke, then...

"BAMMM"

Her head hit the wall as she suddenly fainted. Oh no! the wall was about to fall!

"Sakura look out!" Sasuke instantly pulled the fainted-Sakura.

BoooM! yup! the wall fell.

"That was close"

He looks at her "Talk about miss klutz"

He laid Sakura by the wall. --sigh—'this girl has a hard forehead.'

She was still unconscious, but he knows that she's gonna be okey.

He examines her.

minutes later, She wakes-up.

"huh? what just happen?" She asks calmly.

"Your forehead's hard. it hit the wall and it fell." Sasuke annoyingly answered.

"what? oh right! i wasnt looking" Sakura looked at him nervously smiled. "I'm such a klutz"

'Tell me about it.'

"Hey Sasuke-kun, lets go."

"We cant" Sasuke answered.

Sakura raised an eyebrow."what do you mean 'we cant?'"

"I mean we're trapped." He earnestly answered.

"What we're trapped. I cant believe it!"

"Then believe it! We'll just have to patiently wait for them." Sasuke said as he leaned at the wall.

--45 minutes later--

"Sasuke, it's been a lifetime. Waaahhh.. what if they wont find us? what if we'll be here for eternity? what if i'll starve to death? ..." Sakura crazily stated.

'geez,... I'm trapped with a psychopath.' Sasuke complained.

"..what if YOU starve to death and die? what will i do here? just stare at YOUR corpse? Do you want me to dig and bury YOUR body? oh my gosh! then if you're dead, i'm gonna be alone here.. i hate melancholy feelings.. waahhhh,"

'Now, why am i involved with this nonsense?' "Will you just shut up! your being so paranoid again" Sasuke said calmly.

"I..I'm sorry.. I just cant take it!" She replied.

"What about you just go to sleep."He suggested.

"good idea" she replied.

She sat beside Sasuke just a few distance away. As Sasuke closed his eyes and folded his arms.

moments later, she fell asleep.

Sasuke suddenly felt something, more like someone, who bumped at his shoulder. he opened his eyes to take a look. Sakura was unaware that she was already leaning at his shoulder, sleeping.

Sasuke observes Sakura. 'She's different. she's not the same as the other girls.' he smirked.

suddenly, the girl wrapped her hands around his. she was still asleep, but he didnt mind, but it was surely getting too awkward for the Uchiha.

--1 hour passed--

moments later, the wall started to lift-up. Sasuke opens his eyes, seeing Naruto and the gang

"Finally we've found you!" Ino was relieved.

"This girl's forehead is so hard, The wall even fell" Sasuke said.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto called.

"Shut up dobe-- She's asleep," Sasuke answered

"You sure? why is she wrapping her arms around you then?" Naruto asked with a doubting face. "did you do anything to her"

"Ahhh! no i didnt dobe!" Sasuke replied with an annoyed tone.

Sakura woke up "whats all the commotion?" She suddenly realizes that she was lying on something, more like someone, she tilted her head up. seeing Sasuke's face.

Sakura was glowing red. "GET AWAY FROM ME!"

--SLAP--

she pulled herself back

"Why did you do that?! You're the one who clinged unto me!" He stated angerly.

The gang just looked at the two

"I..I slapped you?! oh my gosh! Let me see" Sakura approached him.

Sasuke right cheek had a red hand mark on it. "it hurts!"

"It does?! I'm sorry! I was just surprised your face was like...wahhhhhh" She yelled.

"Ah idiot! think about what you'll gonna do first before doing it!" Sasuke was so irritated.

"I'm sorry"

"hn"

"Is 'hn' the only thing you can answer, c'mon, say 'i forgive you Sakura'." Sakura suggested.

Sakura continued saying 'sorry' while Sasuke was ignoring her.

"Hey guys, something is different" Ino whispered.

"Yeah! he's being nice to her" Naruto answered softly.

"Being nice? he cant even forgive her" Tenten said.

"No. Its just different. He doesn't actually care but now he's being so defensive" Naruto murmured.

"y-yeah, N-Naruto-un is right." Hinata added.

"This is going to be interestingly troublesome" Shikamaru said.

Sakura looked at the side. "huh? guys? you're here. You came to my rescue!"

"You mean you just realized that?" Ino asked,

"Kinda" Sakura giggled as she ran towards them.

"anyway, Sasuke, i'm sorry"

"hn."

--sweat drop--

"waaahhh!! that was my thirty-seventh 'sorry'!!." The girl sighed.

he gave her the cold glare. 'Guess he's still mad.'

"C'mon guys lets go!" Ino suggested.

"Hai"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

The boys dropped the girls at the apartment. Sakura was still saying her endless sorries. while Sasuke was answering the usual. "hn"

They all said they're good byes.

"Hmm.. sorry…" Sakura said ones more.

'Gahhh... She just doesnt shut up'. Actually, Sasuke's been annoyed of her endless sorries, he's just not used to saying 'its ok'…"Yeah sure." He answered

Finally. Sakura's smile returned. "hah.. at last!." She approaches Sasuke and embraces him quickly. "Well, thanks" She immediately turned back and entered the dorm.

Sasuke felt something different. his heartbeat went 'BOOM' just at the quick moment she hugged him. every girl at school hugs him but then this hug felt different. what does that mean?

He just stood there. "You comin' teme?" Naruto asked.

He snapped out of the awkward thinking. "hn."

Is Sasuke growing interest on Sakura? Would that be even posible?!
