Konoha High Book 2 Ch. 19

Sasuke and Sakura

Sakura waited until everyone was gone before she picked up the map, grabbed Sasuke by the hand, and stared walking. "Sakura?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah?"

"Where are we going?"

"Horse back riding."

Sasuke cringed inwardly. Leave it to Sakura to pick something non-relaxing.

When they reached the small ranch that resided on the island, there were small groups all waiting to go out, but Sasuke had something else planned. "Wait here." he said giving her a small kiss Sakura nodded and watched Sasuke walk off before petting one of the horses. "Hi can I get two horses for the privet river run?" Sasuke asked. The ride was for people who knew how to handle horses, and knew what they were doing. The lady at the counter nodded and gave him the two tickets, well that  what Sakura saw, but Sasuke secretly did something else.

Sasuke walked back over to Sakura  side. "So are we all set?" she asked. Sasuke nodded and kissed her cheek. They weren  standing there long when the instructor called out.

"Two for the Privet River Run."

"Come on." Sasuke said taking Sakura by the hand.

"Sasuke are you serious?" Sakura asked.

"Yes." Sasuke whispered in her ear. "Hey we're the river run." Sasuke said.

"Perfect, so have you two gone before?" she asked.

"Yes we both know how to ride."

"Perfect, well for the lady . . . James, help this little lady get on Butterscotch." She called. A very tall handsome guy walked over, and took Sakura by the hand. "And you we l put on Sharpshooter." She said leading Sasuke over to a large black quarter horse. Once both sakura and Sasuke were on the horses they were led to the course, and were on their own again.

"Sasuke this place is beautiful." Sakura said as they led their horses down the path. They were beside a rived that pebble around rocks and a few logs.

"Come with me." Sasuke said with a smirk as he led the horse off the trail. Sakura led her horse after Sasuke and they were soon in a gallop. Sakura ho had no idea where she was going ust followed Sasuke until they reached the place Sasuke had secretly set up. They were in a small ravine with a waterfall, and a small stream that escaped from the lake. There was a picnic set up at the base of the waterfall. "Do you like it?" Sasuke asked climbing off of the horse. Sakura was at a loss for words and just nodded as she dismounted Butterscotch. Sasuke chuckled and kissed her cheek as he took the reins and led the two horses over to the water.

Sakura sat down on the blanket, it was set up underneath a large tree, and Sasuke climbed down beside her, lying out, his head on her lap as she stroked his hair. "Sasuke-kun this place is amazing how did you know about it?" she asked after a while.

"I had seen it on one of the maps, the woman at the counter said it wasn't on the trail; but I tipped her a fifty and she was more than happy to show me the way." He said with a smirk.

The day passed perfectly. Sasuke and Sakura took turns feeding each other and went for a cooling swim before they climbed back on the horse and slowly went back to the stables. On the bus ride back to the hotel Sakura fell asleep on Sasuke  shoulder. He was a little startled when her head fell, but he relaxed as he watched her sleeping. He began playing with her hair, and every now and then he would place a kiss on her forehead.

When they got back to the hotel Sakura was still asleep so Sasuke picked her up and carried her inside. Naruto was pacing back and fourth, looking his best and sporting a small box. He looked up at Sasuke and smiled before leaving. Sasuke shook his head and walked over to the elevator, holding onto Sakura  small body as he went to the room. When he walked inside he slipped her shoes off and tucked her under the blankets before curling on his side beside her, watching her sleep until he too fell asleep with her in his arms, and a hand on her heart, the smell of her shampoo in his system, and her name in his head.
