• LET'S GET COOKING! •

Anybody that knew Sakura Haruno knew that she was never unconfident about anything so to see the nervous wreck that she was being right now was, to put it lightly, very surprising. Well Sakura's plight was understandable.

She was going to teach Sasuke how to make dangos come Saturday and while that sounded amazing (you know, spending the whole day uninterrupted with Sasuke and all), she had no idea how to make dangos. It was like a blind man leading another blind man across a busy road– they'd surely crash.

Sakura was panicking. What would she do?! Ask Hinata for help? No! That was out of the question! She would do this by herself, thank you very much! That's right! She had a recipe book she could follow, she'd be alright.

She'd be alright– yeah right! First she had to search for the dango recipe among the numerous random recipes she took pictures of in Hinata's cook book. Was there even a dango recipe in the book? She wasn't sure.

It took a while but she finally- luckily- found a recipe for dango. Sakura looked it over. Heh, sounds easy enough! All she needed were some ingredients and a pot of water. Phew! She was beginning to think dango required an elaborate process like separating egg whites from egg yolks or other yucky stuff like that. She didn't even need to practice making dangos!

Everybody knows where this is going, right?

Saturday came before Sakura could say 'inakaitakerunomikoto' and she was mentally prepared for the big day.  A whole day alone with the boy of her dreams! Oh how the girls in school wanted to be in her shoes. She even memorized the recipe so that she'd look cool to Sasuke and she made sure she looked irresistibly pretty today, surely Sasuke would have no choice but to fall for her now!

"Hi, Sasuke-kun." Sakura greeted when Sasuke came to pick her up.

"Hn." Sasuke replied with his usual grunt. It was so cute! Sakura was lost in how handsome he looked again today so she didn't hear him until he called her name. "Sakura."

"Huh?!"

"Are we going to buy the ingredients or do you have them ready?"

" O-oh right! Yeah we're going to buy some things if that's okay with you." She replied and Sasuke smiled. Weeell, it was more of a subtle quirk of his lips but on Sasuke it could as well be a full blown laugh. Sakura flushed. He was really excited to learn this thing, wasn't he?

"Alright, let's go shopping."

-

Sasuke drove them to his house when they had bought all the ingredients they needed.

"Pardon the intrusion." Sakura said as she removed her shoes at the door and wore the house slippers provided.   She noticed Sasuke opening the windows of the house and got curious. "Is nobody at home?"

"We're the only ones here." Sasuke replied.

"Hmm. I don't know why I thought Mebuki-san would be a stay at home wife in this story." Sakura muttered to herself as she started moving the things they bought to the kitchen. "I thought there'd be maids and butlers too since...wait!" Just then Sasuke's earlier words registered in her mind.

"We're the only ones here."

Sakura turned red. She was alone with Sasuke. She was really alone with Sasuke!

"What are you doing?" Sasuke popped up from behind her, where she stood frozen at the hallway.

"N-nothing!" The pinkette yelped and sped walked to the kitchen. For someone alone at home with a girl Sasuke sure was being so normal. Wait! Did this mean he was home alone with girls more frequently than she realized?! No way!
