Hmm…well, this was originally intended to be an amusing crack fic, but it didn't quite end up that way. Actually, it's not even remotely close. -_-; Well, anyway, the scenes line up loosely with the chorus of Kate Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl." I did tweak some of the lines to suit my own purposes, but they're pretty much the same. My intention is to make this last exactly three chapters—no more, no less. Please enjoy!
Dedication:This is dedicated to my friend Yahweh (not to be confused with God or yaoi). He's the one who gave me the original idea (along with a few other ideas)!
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't write song lyrics, just stories. I don't make characters, either. I just borrow them from Kishimoto.
It's strange. After all these years, after everything we've been through, this should never have happened. We'd worked so hard to make this work, and now, here I was, destroying it all. Destroying something that I'd wanted most in the first place. What was I supposed to gain from this? What did I want? Even I didn't know anymore.
ACT I SCENE 1:
I Kissed a Girl and I Liked It
The destruction started with an ordinary Friday night. Just like any Friday, the girls and I were off for a night away from boyfriends, work, and a multitude of other daily annoyances. Maybe that was my first mistake. This girls' night out was a weekly ritual, but I'd never gone while I was mad at my boyfriend before. I shouldn't have gone. I should have made up with him first, but something stopped me. Something about losing even just this one Friday didn't seem quite right. So I went, even though I was angry. Even though I knew I shouldn't drink while angry. Even though I knew I would regret it in the morning. Still, I never thought I would regret it this much.
I met Ino and Hinata at the usual place, and they called out, "Sakura!" to me as usual. I greeted them back wholeheartedly, as if I wasn't angry, as if I expected this night to be as fun as they were expecting. But then the drinking began, and it didn't stop. This was what I knew would happen. Maybe I was actually hoping for it. What I wasn't expecting, what I wasn't hoping for was what happened next.
I guess saying that her face got too close would just be making excuses. Still, if she hadn't sidled up against me to make sure that I saw the look of concern in her eyes, I might not have done it. But she did. And I did. I kissed Ino.
That look of concern turned into a look of shock, then fear. Then, it became something I didn't recognize. I suppose you could call it passion. I don't know why I didn't recognize it. After all, I did have a boyfriend. Although, maybe passion just doesn't register with Uchihas. And anyway, I wasn't concerned with that at the moment because I'm pretty sure my eyes were going through the same transformation as Ino's. I knew my body was.
ACT I SCENE 2:
The Smell of Her Family's Flower Shop
And my body decided that it didn't want to stop there. As a scared and forgotten Hinata stared at us for a moment and then ran out of the bar, we were pulling at each other's hair, creating knots that girls ought to be ashamed of. And even then, my body wasn't satisfied. Apparently, Ino's wasn't either because it was her who quietly suggested that we leave, and her who pulled us both out onto the street and towards her apartment even as we continued to tangle around each other.
I never saw the pair of black eyes looking on from the darkness as we stumbled through the soft fragrances of her family's flower shop and up the stairs to her little room.
Maybe I could have written off those first few kisses in the bar as some sort of drunken misjudgment, but the rest of the night wasn't like that. By the time I pushed her down onto the silky sheets of her bed, I felt completely sober. The world around me reached a new clarity that I had never felt before, and every touch made it that much clearer. It was the ultimate euphoria.
Euphoria never lasts long.
ACT I SCENE 3:
I Kissed a Girl Just to Try It
I Hope My Boyfriend Don't Mind It
I awoke the next morning to the smell of flowers drifting up from the store below. It didn't take long for me to recall every detail from the night before. Perhaps I should have felt ashamed (or possibly hung-over), but I didn't. Not yet. In fact, I felt almost relieved. My anger from the past few days was all but forgotten. Still, I knew I shouldn't be there. I decided to try one last thing. I made a little bet with myself. If I kissed Ino while she was still sleeping, and she woke up, I would stay a little longer. If she didn't, I would leave. I carefully bent over her, not wanting her to wake up before I kissed her, ruining my little wager. I kissed her softly as the guilt started to settle in, and I began to realize that some part of me actually wanted out of there as soon as possible. She stirred quietly under my lips, but her eyes stayed closed even as I rolled myself out of her grip and onto the floor.
As I quickly gathered my clothes from all over the room, my conscience got the better of me and frantically strung together excuses for when I got home. It was stupid to do so, as it wasn't rare for me to end up spending the night at Ino's or Hinata's after these weekly Friday splurges. But my rational mind was already long gone. After all, I had just cheated on my boyfriend—with a girl, no less. Not just any girl, either. Ino was my best friend. Not only that, my boyfriend was someone I had worked hard to get, someone I had had to confess to time and time again for years before he even agreed to acknowledge me. What had possessed me to do this? Why was I unsatisfied?
With shame welling up inside me, I half-ran down the stairs, through the store, out the door, and—and I stopped. No. Those cold, lifeless eyes I knew so well were staring at me from the sidewalk. Sasuke! No! No, no, no, no, no, no! He had seen. He knew. I know he knew. Those dark eyes that had never shown anything but emptiness were suddenly filled with anger and hurt. I couldn't move as he turned swiftly on one foot and ran down the street, eyes red from the sunrise.
Aly: -stretches- Ah, it sure is quiet here without my favorite emo kid and his sunshiny plaything.
A voice: OH, ALY!!!
Aly: Dammit. Shut the hell up, Ino. I'm sick, tired, and I have a headache. What the hell do you want, anyway?
Ino: Oh, nothing. I just saw that you finally decided to let me in on some action, and I was curious. -flips hair-
Aly: -sigh- That's fine. Glad you're happy. Now, can't you take that high-pitched voice of yours somewhere else? -rubs head-
Ino: -crosses arms and frowns- Hmph. Fine. But I should warn you.
Aly: What?
-door slams open-
Ino: Naruto and Sasuke are back. -strolls out-
Naruto: Aly! We're back! Let me tell you all about…-chatters on-
Sasuke: …
Aly: -groans- Well, I guess I'll see ya all later. Please review while I try to get them to leave me alone again…-_-
