Sakura (1)

So this boy basically Sasuke Uchiha, and this girl was Sakura herself. There was not much I knew about them honestly, what I knew about Sasuke was that he had a thirst for revenge, which understandable since his entire clan was murdered by Itachi, experiencing that without broken your character was basically impossible, I couldn't imagine the sheer trauma Sasuke must have felt. I heard from Kakashi that prior to Sasuke's defeat from Itachi, although there were some up and down in the relationship between the teammate, they were all getting along together.

At that time I believed Sasuke slowly recovered from the dark in his heart, but the cruel fact he was far Itachi's opponents and the enticement from Orochimaru finally pushed him toward the abyss, and what Sakura said, about him calling her annoying, it wasn't entirely bad honestly, a wife might nagging her husband much, but he still loved her in the end, sometimes even wanted to be scolded again.

Some might say he had the tendency to be abused, but I called the showmanship of love, a person would only scold someone because she or he cared a lot of that person. Of course, this was just my belief, regarding what truly happened on the field, I couldn't guarantee.

I had some difficulty here, I didn't really care much about Sasuke, but Sakura loved him deeply, shifting her feeling from him to me would not be proved to be a difficult undertaking, but hey, who said I hated challenge?

Anyway, the first step should be making her realize Sasuke was not the end of the world, there were others that might want her attention, namely me, for one.

"Have you ever eaten a clam?" I said.

"Hm?" Sakura looked at me confusedly, of course, anyone would have shown the same reaction.

"Clam is interesting seafood, the inside is extremely tender but the shell is harder than rock, it can break your teeth," I thought for a while, then said, "a person sometimes is like a clam, their shell is very hard and difficult to break through, and to open them, you have to pry the clam with both of your fingers and gently, otherwise, you hurt your own fingers in the end."

I continued, "This girl doesn't do anything wrong, and I admired her because it takes true love for her to go as far as willing to help him accomplish his dream." When I said this, I took a chance to sneak a glance at Sakura's expression, she was indeed a bit flustered, probably not because of the fact I admired her, but simply my praise.

"It just she used a hard method to get this man because just like the clam, she didn't really understand how to open his heart."

"She used a hard method?" Sakura mumbled.

"When you attempt to date a person, don't sell yourself too short, you see that big guy who cried like a pig almost squeezed to death, right?" I laughed a bit, remembering us how pitiful Tokio's appearance was when we arrived at his residence.

"You... you are so bad," Sakura also wanted to laugh but quickly held herself back.

"What I mean is, have some dignity, regardless of man or woman, they should not lower themselves in front of the person you like, thought yourself as an equal, meaning that you will not degrade yourself by promised to do anything for them, not turning yourself into like their servant."

"Take your time to understand the person, why he makes that decision? What his driving motivation? And if it is something you think is bad, don't just agree with him, but don't chaste him for it, try to change his mind, it is probably very difficult, but that's how you open his heart. If he thought family and friends are a nuisance, then try to change his mind that family and friends are what makes him strong, this way he will give you the opportunity to walk into his heart."

"I see... in the end, that girl doesn't understand him a single bit, that's why he's leaving..." Sakura looked at the scene of the farm beside us, but her eyes seemed to stare at the distance.

I scratched the back of my head, then said, "Well, that... or the boy has made up his mind, and people come and go in this life, there is no need to bet everything on a person who rejected it. There is always a better person in the end, the girl just has to give them a chance."

Sakura thought for a while, then she nodded, said to me in a smile, "Thank you, you really know about dating, don't you? How many girls have you picked up?"

"Well, it's over 9000..." I lifted my hands and started counting with my fingers before finally said it.

"You're kidding, right?" Sakura couldn't help but widen her eyes, that many girls, what I wanted to do with them?

"What? You don't believe me?" I curled the corner of my lips, yeah, she wouldn't believe me if I did pick up girl, young woman, and some milf I wanted to marry in the past lives, or just simply losing my virginity, but any cursed things always foiled my plan and killed me in the end.

"Hum, no," Sakura lifted her chin, showing my blustery had no effect on her.

"Then, why don't I try it on you, see if you don't blush."

"Challenge accepted, come at me!"

I nodded, then I purposely came closer to her and asked with a serious face, "Sakura, have you ever kissed before?"

"Ah?!" hearing my question, Sakura stopped on her track, she looked at me with disbelieve and the redness crept on her cheek in an instant.

"Haha, you lose because you're blushing!" I laughed out loud, attracting some people and causing Sakura to become even more flustered.

"You're cheating! That is... such a question should not be asked randomly!" Sakura's eyebrows drew together, a tick mark appeared on her temple.

"Okay, okay, my fault, let's try the second round, but if I win, you have to do something about me..." the corner of my lips curled in a sinister manner, making Sakura took a step back and gulped her saliva.

"Tell me the condition first..." she said after hesitated for a while.

"Ho, you're afraid?" I smiled in the taunt.

"That... no shameless thing, okay?"

"Okay," I nodded, then this time, I stood right in front of her, staring deeply into her eyes.

Although not as beautiful as Ino, Tsunade, or Mei, Sakura was a fine woman in her own, her short-pink hair and a sleeveless shirt, along with a couple of gloves, gave me the impression of a spartan woman, she's having more tomboyish look than Tenten.

Sensing my hot stare, Sakura didn't dare to look at my eyes directly, she cast a glance to the side from time to time, finally had the courage and said, "What?"

"It must be difficult..." I said softly.

"Difficult?"

I sighed, then said, "To have a small chest, but I don't dislike them."

"You..." Sakura's entire body flushed red immediately, it's like a volcano readied to explode.

"Ha! You lost again!" I quickly retreated several times then turned around, using the technique of '1,000 steps' to get away from the disaster I provoked.

"You come back here, you pervert!!!" Sakura clenched her fist as she came to chase me from behind, each step actually cracked the ground below her.
