Hai gaiz. Staying up until 3AM is so not cool (it was before, but not anymore) :(

Here's an update. And oh, Remepie-chan gets mentioned because he/she recently told me how much he/she loves my Sasuga fics. I'm sorry I couldn't include Oichi in here though, since this one's already finished when I found it a while ago.


What am I doing here? Kasuga asked herself mentally, looking around her surroundings – the interior of an internet café which was popular among the (mostly male) students of the academy. So far, all that she could see wherever her eyes roamed about are the concentration-bent faces of the students, their hands typing at the keyboard and clicking away at the mouse with inhuman speed. Senseless chatter, curses and many other foul remarks filled the air, and there were no two seconds when the place was completely silent.

However, Kasuga lay silent at Sasuke's side, watching as he, too, put on his game face and started playing a game she didn't bother knowing the name of. Raising her voice a little, she spoke. "Sasuke, I have to go. There's something-"

"Aw. You can't be leaving me here now, babe. You agreed on going here."

"Don't 'babe' me. And, I didn't even agree on going here, you dragged me here!" Kasuga had leaned a little closer to Sasuke, speaking, almost shouting, directly next to his ear.

"How about-"

The next thing Sasuke knew, his lips were touching Kasuga's softer ones. His eyes grew big in surprise, but he didn't pull away. Instead, he gripped Kasuga by the shoulders and started kissing her gently. Celebrating voices, clapping, and playful whistling followed. In all her embarrassment, Kasuga pushed Sasuke violently, as if in disgust, and slapped him – hard.

Except for the whole ensemble of sounds that blasted from the speakers of the rows after rows after rows of computers, the whole place seemed to have been robbed of oxygen and everybody had to hold their breaths. Kasuga was sure she'd hit Sasuke so hard that the sound reverberated all throughout the room.

Kasuga touched her lips, the heat that had crept to her face feeling even more intense. She knew it was an accident, a wrong move, but even so, she couldn't accept the fact that she had lost her first kiss to someone like Sasuke.

As quickly as the room had fallen silent, it had returned to its originally noisy atmosphere. The audience probably thought the moment had lost its magic after Kasuga's untimely shove.

But Kasuga didn't walk out of the place – she remained seated next to Sasuke, her head bowed down, her hands placed on her flushed cheeks. She wanted to melt in embarrassment, but instead she felt her insides melting from the kiss Sasuke had just…what, forced on her?

She didn't notice that Sasuke had stopped playing and was now staring at her. "Kasuga-chan, I'm so sorry. Let's get out of here, we need to talk."

Letting rationality take over, she agreed wordlessly.

Sasuke talked to the man in charge of the place and handed over his school ID. He and Kasuga then exited through a back door only known to regular customers like him.

"What exactly were you trying to pull off, Sasuke?" Kasuga asked after Sasuke had closed the door. Her voice was so loud, it seemed to bounce through the walls of the unfamiliar, somewhat disturbing, back alley they were in.

"You know it was an accident." Sasuke shrugged his shoulders. Kasuga hated the gesture – it made her feel like she was the only one responsible for what just happened when they knew that they were guilty to some degree.

"How could you take my first kiss like–" Kasuga covered her mouth with a cold hand, turned her head sideways, then paced away from Sasuke. She stopped beside a filthy trash bin, ignoring the horrid array of odors coming from it.

"Your first?" Sasuke's eyes widened in genuine surprise. He smiled a tiny smile, then headed towards Kasuga's direction.

Before he could even get to arm's length with her though, she turned around and shouted at him. "I hate you, Sarutobi Sasuke!" It was a declaration of war against Sasuke, not just the spur of the moment type of hate. Kasuga was so angry, her pupils seemed abnormally dilated. She was on her toes, ready to flee the highly awkward scene when a deep, sultry voice greeted them from the direction of the back door.

"I'm so sorry, did I disturb your little lover's quarrel?"


Thumbs up if you know who the character in the end is.

R&R highly appreciated :)
