True enough, the dinner turned out to be very innerving indeed. Barely a word was exchanged between them and throughout the night Sakura could feel Sasuke's eyes on her, analysing her every move, examining her every word…
It was almost as if he was the judge, the jury and the executioner in her trial and his decision would determine if she lived or died.
Sakura inwardly chuckled. She was being overly dramatic again. The dinner had been rather boring for the Uchiha and he had merely found something to distract himself with. Yes, that was it.
When the dinner was (finally!) over Sakura half expected their guest to excuse himself for the night. Instead he did something completely different and unexpected.
"A stroll?!" Sakura said, baffled. He wanted to go on a stroll with her?
"I think that's a wonderful idea honey." Sakura openly gaped at her mother. Being outside alone on the dark with a total stranger? What was she thinking?
'She isn't.'
Sakura agreed with her inner voice. Her mother couldn't possibly be thinking.
"It's getting late and I'm sure Uchiha-san is tired…"
"I was the one who proposed we'd go for a walk, Sakura-chan. I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to go."
The pink-haired girl glared at guest's smug expression.
'Insufferable jerk!'
'That may be, but he's a very attractive jerk!'
'Have you no decency?'
'None at all." Inner Sakura said happily.
Outer Sakura inwardly growled. It seemed she had a very horney inner mind.
"Uchiha-san is right Sakura. You two go on, enjoy while you're still young." Great, even her father was setting her up.
'We're really lame…'
'Be happy our parents have good taste.'
"Fine! But I have classes early tomorrow so I can't be out long."
Sasuke looked at her with a dangerous glow on his beautiful eyes.

The couple walked in silence towards a river nearby. Not a word was spoken as they enjoyed the breathtaking full moon on the sky and the cool breeze caressing their skin.
For the first time that night Sakura felt comfortable with the raven-haired boy.
The only thing bothering her now where her feet so she paused long enough to slip off her high-heel shoes. The grass was soft under her bare feet, but she already knew that for it wasn't the first time she went there.
Sasuke seemed amused at the childish behaviour but still said nothing, even when she beamed up at him with child-like delight.
A little while later they made it to the river and sat near a border. Sakura put her shoes aside and let her feet slip inside the water, the cold temperature numbing her throbbing feet.
That was why she hated that kind of shoes.
Closing her eyes she tilted her head to the side to appreciate the relieving feeling.
Instants later ice-like fingers caressed her exposed neck.
"What are you doing?" She snapped at him even if her inner self was basking on the feeling of his skin against hers.
"What does it look like, Sakura-chan?"
"You're invading my personal space!"
Sasuke chuckled darkly "Is that so?" His fingers trailed downwards, teasing her collarbone.
She bated his hand away. "Stop touching me!"
He buried his hand on her soft hair, pulling it just enough so that their eyes met but not so much as to hurt her. "I touch what is mine when I please."
Sakura glared into those endless dark pools he called eyes. "And who said I'm yours?!"
Sasuke smirked wickedly. "I did. And so did your parents."
Before she could say anything else his lips came crashing on hers.
