I know that Sasuke shouldn't be here because of the time line but just go with it. I've wanted to do this story for a while now. This is a combination of "Bones" and "Mr. Brightside" both by The Killers
Come with me!
We took a back road.
We're gonna look at the stars.
We took a backroad in my car
The Konoha 12, and Sai, all got together and decided to go down the beach for a bonfire. Lee got into his old beat up green pickup truck, Tenten squeezing in the middle and Neji coming in the side door. Tenten smiled happily and Neji just sat, arms cross, eyes closed smiling. The younger shinobi all crawled into the back piling in laughing and pushing.
Down to the ocean,
it's only water and sand
And in the ocean we'll hold hands.
Lee adjusted his back view mirror, looking back at all his friends. Ino clung onto Sai, almost rubbing her head against his arm like a happy cat. Naruto and Kiba were playfully arguing however Hinata sat in-between them so Naruto had to lean against her to talk to Kiba. The physical contact caused her to turn into a tomato.
But I don't really like you, apologetically dressed in the best, but on a heartbeat glide.
Without an answer, the thunder speaks for the sky, and on the cold, wet dirt I cry.
And on the cold, wet dirt I cry.
Lee's eyes went to the far back and saw Sakura clinging onto Sasuke the same way Ino clung onto Sai. She was so happy he was back, she barley paid any attention to Lee anymore. Tenten saw what he saw in the mirror and rubbed his hand lovingly
"It's OK Lee, you'll meet someone else"
"But I do not want anyone else Tenten, I want Sakura"
Tenten let out a sigh, let go of his hand as he put the truck in gear and drove through the dirt road.
Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones
on your bones? It's only natural.
The car stopped and everyone jumped out, tossing their sandals running in the sand. Sakura stopped by Lee's window
"Thanks for the ride Lee"
"It is no problem Sakura-chan"
"Yeah Thanks" Sasuke said, coming up behind Sakura putting his arm around her hip. She smiled and snuggled against him as they walked into the sand. Lee let out a sad groan, smacking his head against the dashboard
A cinematic vision ensued
like the holiest dream.
It's someone's calling?
An angel whispers my name,
but the message relayed is the same:
"Wait till tomorrow,
you'll be fine."
"Just wait till tomorrow you'll be fine Lee" Tenten assured him rubbing his back motherly
But it's gone to the dogs in my mind.
I always hear them
when the dead of night
comes calling to save me from this fight.
But they can never wrong this right.
In an instant everyone who went down to the water right away screamed. Lee lifted his head off the dashboard and poked his head out the window and leaned forward to try and see what was happening. Tenten looked out the side window, Neji sat still. He was going to activate his buyakugan but Tenten's chest was right in front of his face and he knew the consequences of his actions if he looked through her despite how pleasurable they might be.
Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones
on your bones?
Temari of the sand was at the beach, swimming in the water, in her underwear no less. She waved to everyone in mid back stoke
"Hey guys, c'mon in the water's great." She said happily
"Temari! Cover your shame!" screamed Kankuro roasting a hot dog on his small fire
"Bra and panties, bikini, same difference" she smirked diving back under
"She makes a good point" commented Shikamaru taking off his shirt and vest, walking into the water to join her.
"You just wanna see Temari up close" Choji giggled
"And if I do?" Shikamaru smirked, undoing his hair as it feel onto his back and dove in
Tenten slid through Neji and hoped out of the car unbuttoning her shirt
"Well guys have fun in the car I'm going for a swim" She carelessly discarded her pink Chinese button up but instead of a bra she had bandaged up her chest and upper back. As she ran into the water Neji sat dumb struck, turned to Lee as if to ask if he still needed him here to cheer him up
"Go ahead Neji" Lee muttered
Neji clumsily fell out of the door when he tried to get out to fast, as he discarded his top and chased after Tenten who's bandages didn't turn out to be water proof
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna swim with me?
Don't you wanna feel my skin
on your skin?
It's only natural.
Lee did eventually get out of the car and sat down on the precut log seats alongside Shino and Kankuro who were roasting everyone's dinner of dogs and marshmallows
(Never had a lover)
I never had a lover
Lee looked out into the water, Shikamaru and Temari were making out against a rock. Lee loved Sakura with all his heart and naturally had imagined what it would be like to be intimate with her. However he always imagined it being romantic and beautiful, like a dream. What Shikamaru and Temari shared was more like the whole triple X stuff that Lee had never cared for. Even if she ever liked him he could never see himself with her making out hard in public like that. Not that it mattered because she loved Sasuke
(Never had soul)
I never had soul
His eyes scanned and ontop of that same rock Naruto (facing away from them), now in only his green and orange boxers did a cannon ball. His splash hit Hinata who refused to go any farther than her black undershirt and black tights, and Kiba who was also just in his boxers. Naruto reemerged directly in front of Hinata
"Was it a big splash?" he asked happily but Hinata turned a deep read and fainted, sinking under the water "Hinata's drowning!" Naruto screamed dumbfoundedly as Kiba rolled his eyes and pulled her back up
(Never had a good time)
And I never had a good time
Ino, who had stripped down to her tight shorts and purple bra, was pulling Sai, also down to just his boxers, into the water. He however felt the water was too cold and tried to adjust to the temperature slowly and at his own pace. Frustrated Ino splashed him, making him cringe at the cold touch. Choji explained to Sai what a splash war was and the three of them all began splashing each other.
(Never got cold)
I never got cold.
With a sad sigh, Lee turned away from the merriment hoping to find Sakura, but was unable to find her or Sasuke. Clenching his fist he knew that could not be a good sign, but it was not any of his business; they were a couple now…it could not be helped. Lee looked all over for Neji and Tenten who had also mysteriously disappeared from him.
Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones
on your bones?
It's only natural.
Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin
on your skin?
It's only natural
Lee turned around completely and in horror saw his green pickup truck rocking left and right
"They're both paying for that to get cleaned" me muttered and began to wonder away from the group. He was always known for being the optimist but he felt like shit tonight.
"Is he going to be OK?" wondered Kankuro out loud. Though Lee had wondered alongside the sand to the right, Gaara was sitting upon driftwood toward the left side of the group but close enough to have a conversation with his brother
"I know that look…he just…wants to be by himself" Even though Lee forgave Gaara for crippling him after their fight against Kidomaru, Gaara never truly forgave himself. He knew the look in Lee's eyes and they were just like his, perhaps this could count for something in the long run
Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones
on your bones?
It's only natural.
Come and take a swim with me. Don't you wanna feel my skin
on your skin?
It's only natural
Lee walked along the sand, kicking a rock forward, eventually catching up with it and kicking it further. Why did Sakura love Sasuke? He clearly didn't care about her; he hurt her and left her on a bench then betrayed everyone. All he cared about was revenge. 'What's so wrong with me?' Lee wondered
