Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the song Into The Night by Santana and Chad Kroeger (but that is such an AWESOME song!).
Author's Note: Well, I've been listening and dancing around to this song for a good while, and got inspiration for a songfic. XD This will be my very first ItaSaku story (I don't know; the song seems to fit them somehow o.O), so enjoy! I took a few parts of the lyrics out (the parts that are the faded behind the main vocals) since I didn't feel like adding them in.
Into The Night
"Loosen up, yeah!" Deidara yelled, "We did it! We should be relaxing and partying, yeah!" Itachi glared at his blonde friend as he took another large gulp of sake. To his left, Kisame was agreeing, taking a drink himself. Itachi looked away from the two, preferring to stare off into the crowd than to see the two start a drinking contest.
'Why did I let these two idiots bring me here?' he thought, taking a sip of his drink. Yeah, he was forced to come in "celebration" of a recent business deal between the Uchiha company and another in Suna, and sadly that's why he was here. Watching the crowd of dancers and ignoring the two men that were now fighting on who could hold their alcohol better.
He watched as people came in and out, people approaching and leaving the bar, and pairs dancing and grinding to some sort of heavy dance mix on the floor. He let out an annoyed sigh, glaring at the two men before getting up and approaching the bar to get away from them.
Just shortly after he sat down at the bar, something else caught his attention: the sound of loud giggles and gossip. He looked over in the direction of the sound, noticing four girls sitting down at an open booth, and glared slightly, hating the annoying noise.
"I can't believe you were able to come, Hinata! I thought Naruto would be keeping you at home so you two could--" the one with blonde hair began to say.
"Ino! Please stop that! Naruto-kun isn't like that!" shot back the one with midnight blue-black hair.
"Oh, please!" piped up the one with brown hair in buns.
"Tenten, not you too..." Hinata said with a sad sigh.
"All right, stop picking on her. Naruto isn't that perverted, geez," said the woman with bright pink hair,
"He works for Jiraiya. Of course he's perverted," Ino said in retaliation.
The voice of reason only sighed, "I'm getting a drink." She stood up, ignored by her friends as they continued to poke fun at Hinata. Itachi watched as the pink hair woman approached the bar, taking a seat next to him. "Cherry coke," she said, receiving a strange look from the bartender. "Designated driver," she explained as she received an understanding nod.
She sighed as she waited for her drink, twirling a finger on the counter around in circles. Itachi took a sip of his drink and turned to her, "A little annoyed?"
She looked over at him, "Just slightly. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew those three were going to get drunk tonight, I wouldn't be here." He chuckled, "Somewhat the same for myself, just I rather have one drink and make it slow."
She chuckled herself, grabbing the drink that was now placed before her. "Buddies having fun while you're the annoyed one."
"Exactly."
She took a sip, emerald eyes staring into dark red. "My name is Sakura Haruno," she said.
"Itachi Uchiha."
A thin brow raised, "Uchiha? Related to Sasuke Uchiha?"
"Yep. He's my little brother."
She chuckled, "I see." She looked away, focusing on her drink instead of him, ignoring the look that he was now giving her. "I take it you know him," he said. She scoffed, taking a sip of her soda. "Yeah, you can say that," she said, now staring off into space, "He's my ex. Broke up because I didn't give in to what he wanted."
"Give in?"
"He wanted sex, I said no. Sorry, but I have my morals. And apparently my respect for what I believe in wasn't good enough."
She looked over at Itachi, "Your brother is a damn hormone-driven pervert. And apparently THAT desperate to get laid since he turned to Konoha's number one slut Karin." She took another drink, chuckling as she placed it on the table. "Hopefully he's happy with the bitch. She's just going to use him, but hey, as long as he gets some I'm sure he doesn't care," she said, a dark smile playing her lips.
Itachi chuckled somewhat loudly, "And you actually are telling this to his older brother? How do you know that I won't turn around and tell him everything you just said?" Her eyes sparked slightly with anger for a second, but it disappeared as quickly as it came and she laughed, "Hey, go ahead if you want to. If he comes at me to discuss things, it'll give me the chance to slap him for what the hell he did."
For a moment they stared at each other in silence, each taking a sip of their drink. Suddenly the DJ began to speak over the crowd. "Hey folks, time for a song that everyone can participate in, dancing or not. So clap your hands and sing along," he said, changing the song. Sakura smiled as she recognized the music. "Good song," she said, swaying her head slightly to the starting beat. He smirked, placing down his glass. "Well then, how about we dance? Keep your mind off of trying to hurt my brother," he offered, almost laughing at the thought of the petite woman doing physical damage to his surely much stronger brother. "Why not?" she said with a small smirk, taking his hand and leading him out to the dance floor.
Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
He spun her around, watching as her emerald eyes glow in the light that shined around the club. "You like to dance don't you?" he asked as she swayed to the song, pink hair moving around her face like a veil. "Very much so. It's a lot of fun!" she exclaimed as she spun her around again.
She had fire in her soul, it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
He chuckled as he brought her in close, her back to his with hands in hers, "I can tell. It's quite sad that my foolish little brother let you slip right through his fingers." She was silent as she rocked with him to the beat for a few moments before pushing away.
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
Claps echoed the room, the pair following suit. She smiled and closed her eyes as the music continued on.
And we sang
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And the voices rang like the angels sing
And singing
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced into the night
Sakura reopened her eyes after she sang the last line's repeat, only to have red staring deeply at her. "You have a beautiful voice as well," Itachi said, his lips forming a smirk as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulling her next to him. Her cheeks formed a small blush as her hands landed on his chest, but she smiled and they continued to sway to the music.
"Your eyes are different from anyone else I've met in your family."
"They're contacts, actually. My sight's rather poor without them."
"I see. But why red?"
"My favorite color."
"Ah, got it. Unique, actually."
He smirked, "Your eyes are unique as well. Such a bright green." She blushed a little more at the compliment, "Thank you. It seems that all women in my family have green eyes. Family trait, I guess."
"Like how most members in my family have onyx eyes."
"Exactly."
Silence enveloped them as they danced, each of them staring deeply into the eyes of the other.
Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place
You could tell how we felt by the looks on our faces
His forehead met hers, "Sasuke was a fool to let you go. A beautiful angel like you only comes around once." Sakura smirked, arms wrapping around his neck, "You're just full of compliments, aren't you Itachi? You really know how to make a girl feel good about herself." He chuckled, a hand leaving her waist to brush against her cheek. "Can't help but say the truth, Sakura," he said, his voice now smooth. She laughed slightly, her fingers playing with his ebony hair, tied back in a ponytail.
We was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes
No room left to move in between you and I
Everyone seemed to have disappeared, leaving only them and the music as they danced close to each other, hips slightly grinding against one another.
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night
She parted her lips, her voice coming out in a melody as she sang, Itachi joining her this time around.
And we sang
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And the voices rang like the angels sing
And singing
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced on into the night
Against each other's lips they whispered the last line's repeat, eyes closing as they reached out to meet.
"Sakura!?"
They broke apart at the sound of the voice, and she turned her head to meet onyx eyes. "Sasuke? What do you want?" she asked, annoyance and anger in her voice.
"What the hell? Why are you dancing with my brother!?"
"I want to. Is that a problem?"
"Damn right it is!"
Sakura turned her head to look at the woman that was approaching and glared, "Why don't you dance with your whore and leave me alone? You're ruining my fun."
"Excuse me!? I'm not a whore!"
"Karin--"
"Oh, sorry. Could've fooled me. I thought that having the reputation of sleeping with a man a day would've qualified you for the title."
"You little bitch!"
Sakura smirked as Karin began to come at her, eyes full of anger and a hand itching to place its mark on her cheek. Before she could get close, Itachi pulled Sakura to the side and moved past, his foot "accidentally" getting in her way, tripping and forcing her down onto the floor. "I wouldn't try that again, if I were you," he said, then turning to his brother, "Foolish little brother. You let an angel go for her? Quite a shame." He took Sakura's hand and began to walk away to another part of the floor to continue their dance.
"What the hell!? Sakura!"
"Bye Sasuke! Have fun with Konoha's number one slut!"
Sakura only laughed as Itachi smirked, leaving Sasuke standing there trying to control his very angry and red-faced girlfriend.
As the words began again, he wrapped his arms around her waist, "Now, shall we continue where we were?" Sakura smirked as she wrapped her arms around her neck and placed her forehead against his. "Yes, I believe we should," she said, their bodies swaying again to the beat.
Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
"Good job on tripping Karin. That was hilarious," Sakura said, fingers playing with his hair again and her eyes alit with amusement. "Well, did you think I was going to let her ruin that beautiful face of yours?" he responded with a smirk, receiving a laugh in return.
She had fire in her soul, it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
"Again with the compliments?" she asked jokingly, hips grinding slightly with his, "You're such a gentleman, you know." He chuckled, a hand brushing against her cheek on its way to thread through her hair.
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
They broke apart, hands clapping along to the beat with the room as their lips parted to sing.
And we sang
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And the voices rang like the angels sing
And singing
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced on into the night
They moved in close again, voices now a whisper against their lips.
And we danced on into the night
Her hands rested against his chest as his tightened on her waist.
And we danced on into the night
Their lips met, each pushing passion into their control as the music began to finish and fade.
Singing ay oh ay oh ay oh ay
And we danced on into the night
They pulled apart as the music stopped and another song began to play. Itachi smirked, "Buy you another cherry coke?" She nodded, a little stunned to speak, and he chuckled as he led her back over to the bar.
Sadly, before they were able to order their drinks, a loud, obnoxious voice yelled out, "Itachi! Hey Itachi, I won, yeah! Look at Kisame; he's out!"
Itachi looked over at the loud blonde as he pointed to the passed out Kisame. "I won the game, yeah!" Deidara exclaimed, taking another drink of sake. "Idiots," the Uchiha mumbled, turning over to Sakura.
"Friends?"
"Yeah."
"A bit drunk."
"A bit?"
"Okay, a lot," Sakura said with a laugh, looking over at the table that her friends were hopefully still sitting at. She hit her face with her palm as she watched Ino begin to stand up, screeching out the lyrics to the song with a slur. "Great...I got drunk friends too," she muttered.
"Well, I guess we better become the designated drivers, huh?"
"Seems like it."
Itachi took out a pen from his shirt and wrote down something on a napkin. "Here's my number. Call me sometime," he said. Sakura smiled as she ripped off the unused part of it and borrowed his pen to write hers down, "Or you can call me sometime." She smirked as she got off her stool. "Thanks for the dance, Itachi," she said. He smirked as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her in, placing a gentle kiss on her lips. "See you soon," he said as he let her go.
She blushed slightly before waving quickly and going towards her friends, letting out a groan as Ino almost tackled her to the floor. Itachi chuckled, then turning towards his friends, muttering a few curse words under his breath.
Yeah, I know that Itachi is pretty much OOC, but hey, my fanfic! XD Anyway, hope you enjoyed it!
