"Sasuke? Sasuke come on!" It was half past four and a blond-haired woman was standing in front of a booth. In one hand short white capri pants and in the other a cream-colored capri. A man with jet-black hair and equally black eyes sauntered up.

"What?" Asked the man, named Sasuke, bored. It was pretty boring for him to go shopping with his girlfriend Ino. With that she spent 8 hours a day (is that even possible ^^ '). And most of the time she tried on some clothes and then hung them back a little later.

"Which of the pants should I take?" Asked Ino. Sasuke looked suspiciously at the pants and then turned around to look around further. "Both.", He said flatly and looked around. There was that typical department store smell in the air and employees scurried around everywhere.
Sasuke strolled around uninterested between the clothes. He looked to the right and to the left. It would be ages before Ino was finished.Afterwards he would only be a few yen poorer and Ino had new things in the closet for it.

Suddenly he almost stumbled and was just able to hold on to a clothes rack. He looked up to see a young woman with pale pink hair lying on the floor. She was wearing one of the employees' uniforms and had her hair tied in a braid at the nape of the neck.

"Pass ... Oh! Sorry!", The woman got up quickly and collected all of her things that she had just wanted to distribute. She was visibly embarrassed because you could see a trace of redness on her cheeks. "I'm very sorry!" She apologized. "That wasn't your fault. I wasn't paying attention.", Sasuke waved him off.

The woman brushed a strand from her face and looked depressed at the floor. "Tell me-" Sasuke got no further. Because you could hear a man's voice calling through the shop. "Sakura Haruno! How many times have I told you to be more careful." The man had now reached the two of them.He had long black hair and was rather skinny. "Yes, Mr. Orochimaru. I was just tidying up and there ...", began the woman who, according to her employer, was called Sakura Haruno, but was interrupted by Sasuke.

"Sorry. But that wasn't your fault. I wasn't paying attention and I crashed into her." Mr. Orochimaru turned around and looked at Sasuke. “What's your name?” “Sasuke Uchiha.” “Mh. And you say it was your fault?” Asked Orochimaru. Sasuke nodded.
"Very well. Then we'll leave it alone. But be warned Haruno! If something like that happens again, you'll be kicked out!" And with a rush, Mr. Orochimaru was gone.

Sakura watched him go. Sasuke also looked at the place where Orochimaru had been standing a moment ago. Then finally Sasuke spoke up. "I'm sorry you had such trouble with me," he said. "No, no. It wasn't your fault!", said Sakura soothed." Yes, if I had been more careful, she wouldn't have been in such trouble. And that's why I'd like to invite her over for coffee.

"Well ... well-" And she was interrupted by a bright voice. "Sasuke! Who are you talking to?" Sasuke turned around abruptly. A rather jealous Ino approached them. "Who is that?" Sakura asked confused. "Um, this is Ino, my friend.", Sasuke said flatly.

He had completely forgotten Ino. He had only noticed Sakura's pale pink hair and grass-green eyes. But Ino? Jealousy was written on Ino's face. "Ino! Have you finally made up your mind? And this is Sakura Haruno. I just accidentally bumped into her."

Ino looked at Sakura. The pale pink was noticeable, but it suited her. # Certainly colored ... #, thought Ino. "Mh, Sasuke? I've decided on the white pants. Will you come to the checkout?", Ino asked urgently. Sasuke nodded."I'll be right there. I only saw something back there. I want to see that."

Ino raised an eyebrow. It was quite unusual for Sasuke to look for something. But Ino walked away with a smile. When she was out of sight, Sasuke turned back to Sakura. "Finally. So that was my friend Ino." Sakura who had watched Ino now looked back at Sasuke.

"I heard that," she said in a monotonous voice. "Yes. So back to my apologies. Would you have coffee with me?" "But what about your girlfriend?" Sakura asked, horrified. She didn't mind having coffee with him, but what would his girlfriend say?

"She doesn't care. As long as I pay for her purchases and don't mess with her appearance, she doesn't notice anything. And besides, she goes out with other men all the time.", Sasuke said. "Well, if that is the case ... Okay. I agree." "Good. Then I'll pick you up if you would be so kind as to tell me."Sakura nodded. "I live in Kirschblütenweg 2." "Good. Then I'll pick you up tomorrow at 4:00 pm. Agreed?" Sakura nodded for the second time. "See you tomorrow." With that, Sasuke turned around and ran to Ino who was already waiting for him to pay for her purchases.
While Sasuke was paying she looked at Sakura. Their eyes met and Ino's eyes narrowed to slit. Sakura knew that she had to be careful. Otherwise she would be in a lot of trouble.

Sasuke turned to Ino, said something to her and then Ino hacked him. And so they both left the shop. Sakura watched them go. She was already looking forward to seeing Sasuke again. #What eyes ... #, Sakura gushed inwardly. Only one more hour and then she too would be off.
She was in no hurry to go home because nobody would be waiting for her at home anyway. Her parents lived a long way away. And her last boyfriend moved out a few weeks ago.To be precise, it was now exactly 3 weeks ago when Mike, her ex-boyfriend, moved out.

Not voluntarily, but otherwise he would have had to go to the hospital. Sakura had caught him in bed with an old classmate. Then there was a solid argument, which ended with Sakura kicking Mike in front of the door.

Now Sakura had arrived home. She quickly unlocked the door and went inside. A familiar warmth met her. But also a kind of emptiness. Sakura put down her bag, took off her shoes, and went to her room.
There she plopped on her bed and stared at the ceiling. Slowly she closed her eyes and in the next moment she was already asleep.
