The Zoo 1

"Thanks" he blushed at her compliment. "I think I have found my sister."

"... "

"What!" She squealed.

"When? How? Where is she now?"

He had a confused look on his face, then shook his head and smiled.

"Sakiko, how too many questions at once?"

"Sorry, I got excited and curious" she smiled back.

"Well I'm not certain at the moment. Anyway let's get to class for the final test" without waiting for her reply, he pulled her in the direction of their class.

Later that day in the evening, they finished reading their books and went on to watch TV in Sasuke's room.

"Sasuke, when would Father Tanaka come home?"

"I don't know, but I think it would be any day from now."

"Okay, you want some cookies? Let me go get them."

"All right" she gets off his bed and walks towards the door. "Sakiko" she turned to look at him.

"Yes Sasuke?"

"Will you sleep in my room today?"

"Umm, yes but don't you think we are missing something here?"

He shook his head, "what would that be?"

"Where would I sleep Sasuke? Certainly not on your bed with you. We don't want to end up doing something" she blushed not able to complete her sentence.

"I love it when you blush Sakiko, you look cute."

"Sasuke, I'm being serious here. Okay, I would go to my room then" she turned to leave, he quickly got out of bed and held her hand.

"Come back here" she turns her head to look at him.

"What!"

"Why are there two beds here huh?"

"But, it is for your sister. I shouldn't, I don't have the right to lay on it" he turned her to himself and pushed her against the wall.

He had both his hands on either side of her head, trapping her there.

"You don't have right to do what. You have as much right to do so okay" he brought his lips close to her ear, "Stay".

With his breath so close to her ear, she was so flushed by that little contact.

"Really, you mean it that I can stay?"

"I just said so didn't I?"

"Well if it makes you happy... "

"It would make me feel happy Sakiko" he was now staring at her face. "Thanks" he used his left hand to pull her in for an embrace.

He let go and walked to his bed, "We are going out tomorrow" he said and sat down to watch her expression.

"Out? To where exactly?"

"Don't know yet. Would think of something. I'm famished Sakiko, the cookies."

"Oh yeah, I'll be right back" she opened the door and left.

They spent the night watching films and anime.

The next day, their mid-term started. They went to the zoo.

"Wow, the zoo. I have been here twice in my life, one when I was small and the second four years back."

"You were still small four years ago."

She pouted at him. He pinched her cheeks, "Ouch Sasuke!"

"Let's have fun okay."

"Sure, I rode on a donkey last time."

"Same here, I have never ridden a horse though. I want to ride one."

"Yes, let's ride a horse today then."

"Okay, let's see the animals first" they walked hand in hand.

After two hours of moving round, they finally rode on a horse and a donkey. Then later went to get some snacks.

As they passed a place in the zoo, they saw a couple kissing.

"Hmm kissing in public."

"Hmm, in this present day... they have guts though" Sakiko commented.

"Why not try it. Hmm? See its simple... "
