SAKURA

When they both got to his house, they sighed in relief.

Sure, they soaked wet. And Sakura didn't bring spare clothes with her.

Her parents might be worried of her right now.

Itachi noticed Sasuke, who brought in a certain pinkette.

"Ah...Sasuke. You're with a girl." Itachi noticed and made a slight grin.

Sakura looked at Itachi with a nervous, but curious look. When he noticed this, Itachi turned to smile at her.

"I'm Uchiha Itachi. Care to tell me who you are?"

"I'm Haruno Sakura." The pinkette answered with a blank face.

Sasuke wanted to gleam a glare in front of his brother, as he was noticing the getting-along stage between Sakura and Itachi.

"Come on, Sakura." Sasuke hollered to her as she walked away with him.

But before they could arrive upstairs, she saw two people, guessing it might be Sasuke's parents.

"Hello dear. Oh!" Mikoto exclaimed, seeing the two soaking wet from the rain.

"Don't worry mom, I have extras for her. By the way, she's Haruno Sakura." Sasuke spoke.

"Well hello dear. You look pretty, and you smell like cherry blossoms! The name suits you well." Sakura smiled at the compliment.

"Arigatō."

"Son, you better take her home tomorrow if you're planning to let her stay. Kizashi will scold me for this." Fugaku reminded his son.

"Y-You know my father?" Asked Sakura, surprised.

"Sure sweetie, he and I went through a lot back then. He used to be my rival too. Hehe." Sasuke's father rubbed the back of his neck and smiled.

"Oh."

"Come on Sakura, let's get us changed." Sasuke ended the conversation as they both went upstairs to his room.

He let out another sigh of relief as he locked the door and opened his cabinet.

He rummaged through it and found what Sakura usually wears.

It was a red velvet dress, that had a zipper and the crest of her clan at the back, then her black tights.

"Here." He tossed over the 'duplicated' outfit to Sakura.

Her eyes widened in confusion.

"H-How did you get this?" She wondered.

'SHANAROOO! HE IS MORE THAN A STALKER BUT A PERVERT! SINCE WHEN DID HE PEEK INTO MY WARDROBE HUH?!'

"I just visualized the outfit that you usually wear when I see you into my mind and then I say these words, Bijuaru Fukusei no Jutsu."

"Visual Duplication Jutsu." Sasuke explained.

"Did you just invent that?"

"Y..Yeah." He fumbled.

Sakura immediately went to a private spot where the Uchiha couldn't see her dressing up, and quickly pulled off her wet black tights.

She replaced it with the clean and dry one, then she removed her dress and tube, replacing it with the clean ones as well.

After she dressed up, she went to the bathroom and washed some parts of her skin and also cleaned her face.

She also dried her hair thoroughly as she relaxed on the floor.

"You know, you have my permission to lie down with me." Sasuke offered, bothered to the fact she's taking the floor.

"No thanks, Mr. Uchiha!" She refused with disgust and without comfort.

"I don't see why not." He got up and carried her bridal style, laying her down on his bed.

Said girl pouted and frowned, since she clearly said she didn't wanna lie down with him.

"Why're you suddenly acting like a gentleman around me, Uchiha?" Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Because..."

"Well..."

"Well?" Sakura waited for an answer expectantly.

"Because I don't like you taking the floor and my parents would scold me if they see you lying down there."

"Why do you care anyways? Plus why do you care about what happened earlier?"

"I can take care of myself, Sasuke-kun." She assures him, but it wasn't enough to prove her right.

"No Sakura-chan. Listen to me. I do care about you." He admitted.

"And why's that?"

"Because I like you, Sakura."

The pinkette was too stunned to speak, but still the rise of her being selfish and wanting to be alone made it as no effect to her.

She scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"YOU, have got, to be kidding me...Uchiha."

"Well if you think I'm not serious, we go to sleep, then eventually you'll change your mind."

"What makes you say that? Oh certain one?" She cooed at him.

"Because I know it. Believe me."

Sakura couldn't help but laugh.

She clearly explained this to every boy that was magnetized by her so-called beauty, that no matter how many times they tried hard to confess, nothing will change her mind.

"I clearly explained this to you, Mr. Duckbutt. So if you please -"

She was cut off when Sasuke lied down and pulled her in, feeling his cold breath, the warmth of his body and his face near in contact with hers.

"You talk too much. Now go to sleep." Sasuke smirked at her and closed his eyes.

The pinkette was too stunned and silent the whole time, plus she couldn't move freely from Sasuke's grasp.

(Refer to their position above ☝️)

Although, she smiled hesitantly and tried closing her eyes.

The warmth was surrounding her, comforting her even more.

She didn't feel like this, especially this is her first time to sleep with a boy.

The first time she felt comfortable around a boy's arms.

"Good night Sasuke-kun." She finally greeted.

NARUTO

Hinata and Naruto were together in the bed, surprisingly.

For now, Hinata had to take shelter in his apartment since she could get sick by the rain too.

She couldn't care more of her father, even if he is worried, besides, he never cared for her that much.

She felt safe around Naruto's arms. She felt heaven, and peace, when they lay next to each other.

She didn't expect this night to happen.

"Good night Hinata-chan." The blonde mumbled.

"Good night...Naruto-kun." Hinata smiled and closed her eyes.

Tomorrow will be their first task to prove if they pass.

Or not.
