Tomato Sakiko

"Really!!"

"Yeah," he replied her, but she felt a weight on her head ad he said that.

"How about My Romantic Prince?" She suddenly asked. Sasuke pondered, "Or My Prince Romantic?" She added.

"Nahh, My Romantic Prince and My Romantic Princess is better."

The both started laughing at their cheesiness.

"Princess Sakiko, at your service your highness," he gave a mocking bow.

"Sasuke, come on let's go," Fr. Tanaka yelled.

"I'm coming Father," he tried to peck her but she evaded his lips just in time and hugged him instead. "You're so stubborn, Sakiko. Bye."

He let go of her and ran towards the car waiting for him.

"Bye Sasuke, I'll miss you and Prince, my regards to him okay!" She yelled after him as he entered the car.

"Phew!"

Her mind went back to the dance floor and the kiss they shared, her cheeks started heating up.

"Damn it, I'm all flushed because of him."

She used her hands to quickly cover her face., not wanting anyone to see, lest they think she is lewd.

"What's wrong with her?"

She heard a voice behind her and turned, Itsumi and Itachi were some feet away from her and Itsumi pointed at her as she talked with Itachi.

"Sakiko, why are you so flushed? Are you hot or anything?" Itsumi quickly asked her as she had caught her sister's attention.

"I'm not flushed!"

"Yes you are Sakiko, isn't that right Itachi?"

"Huhhh I guess so, not so flushed but definitely flushed," Itachi commented.

"What use was the strange statement? A sole yes would have sufficed!" Itsumi scolded.

"Ahh, finally she won't be in my neck about what caused all this," Sakiko thought, feeling relieved.

"Oh hey Sakiko, don't tell me it is because of Sasuke," Itsumi said as she approached Sakiko.

"No it's not." Sakiko blushed more while shaking her head in denial.

"Your lips say one but you are blushing crazy. You are all red like a tomato, It's the kiss right?"

Sakiko just stared at her not saying anything but trembled, for her sister had caught her.

"No, no, no. It's not true Itsumi." Sakiko ran away from her sister and up the stairs to her room.

"Tomato Sakiko!!"

The sound of Itsumi's laughter reverberated downstairs, leaving the flushed sister to be even more embarrassed.

"Let her be Itsumi" Itachi covered his sister's mouth with his hands.

"Itsumiiiiiii!!!!" Sakiko shouted from her room.

----------

Later in the day, Sasuke called her when he was at home.

"Why haven't you been returning my calls?" An angry Sakiko's voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.

"Nothing serious, I was just thinking," he replied nonchalantly.

"Nothing serious huh! Well Sasuke what was the kiss and the I love you about?"

"Now that was a conversation I was trying to avoid love," he sighed from his end.

"What! Are you... Hmm, you were trying to avoid it, it was wrong what you did and why do you keep doing it?"

"Why do I huh! See Sakiko, its like a test, because once people discover that we are actual siblings, not to mention twins... They'd come for you."

What Logic was that?!

"Come for me, how do you mean?"

"Boys would start pestering you, sending you love letters and all. Then you would fall for it and they would take you away from me."

"Is he feeling insecure right now?" She thought.

"Sasuke!!" Fr. Tanaka yelled his name.

"Talk to you later, Father is calling me, bye."

"Wait, when would you call? Or what... "

"I'm sorry Sakiko, some other time okay!" He apologized, interrupting her.

Beep! be–eep!!

He hung up and went to answer Fr. Tanaka.

"He's hung up, Some other time okay... " It kept on replaying in her head.

"Itachi used to say that to me then. We are really twins and a family," she smiled at the thought.

"Then why... Does he really like me?" She thought, her cheeks began to burn and she hid her face in her hands.

"Come on Sakiko, you shouldn't be thinking about that, it can't be. After all he just explained, but is that necessary to ward of guys? Perhaps it's just his way of protecting me not anything else."

She chided herself mentally but her mind still trailed off to the kiss.

Imagining everything, it all played back like a movie before her eyes. It was at this point it sunk deeper how cute and charming Sasuke was, especially when he leaned in and drew her face closer to his.

"No, no, no... It can't happen Sakiko, you're siblings. Not just any siblings but twins. Get a grip girl," she pinched her cheek to snap out of her thoughts.

"I better go take a bath, I'm getting hot, I don't want Itsumi butting in and embarrassing me now, do I?"

She sighed and slowly got undressed then made her way to her bathroom.
