Ok…Just to let you know (those who have previously read this story and/ or reviewed)…I'm reposting this chapter…not just for any old reason…but because I have decided to add part 2 to it…Aren't I just great?
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Full Summary:
Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Tenten and Temari are the adopted daughters of Lady Tsunade, (who is obsessed with them getting married) and her husband, Sir Sanzo. So what do you get when you add in a few rich bachelors, crazy relatives and determined fangirls? Well, this of course!!
But at a closer angle, this story focuses on Sakura Haruno, the intelligent and beautiful daughter of Lady Tsunade and Sir Sanzo, who catches the eye of the cold yet stunningly handsome and rich, Sasuke Uchiha. But how can a relationship form when they both hate and love each other at the same time?
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Hmmm…ok…this is my first Naruto and also my first anime fiction. This is basically my version of the book "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, just to let ya know, in case it's not obvious enough. I wanted to make the characters play their roles without being untrue to their respective natures and personalities. But there are a lot of OCs (plus blondes for some reason) and at some point, some characters being well, OOC. Also, I've added some details while at the same time excluding some, since this is my version and it is a Naruto fic, plus it's in a more modern time, you'll understand why later on…Now that I've got that over with…On with the fic!!!

"So dear, have you heard the latest news?" inquired a woman sitting in a beige chair; with long blonde hair, hazel eyes, porcelain skin and dressed in a light cream hiyoku; to her husband as she drank from a medium-sized bottle of sake. Her husband, who sat across from her with crossed legs, in a large red chair, had light brown hair, wore glasses over his cyan blue eyes and clad in a charcoal black robe; smoked on his pipe while he read the day's paper.
Unfortunately, he was so absorbed in reading that he didn't seem to take any notice of his wife, since she usually spoke of trivial things that did not interest him. So in other words, he was used to ignoring her.
"Sanzo? Earth to Sanzo!" pressed Tsunade as she started to get quite irritated, "Hel-l-l-o-o-o…Oi!! Four eyes, listen up!!!"
"Huh? Yes Tsunade, were you saying something dear?" asked Sanzo innocently, insert anime eyes here:
"No dipshit, Sherlock…I was asking if you heard that the Penthouse suite of the Uchiha hotel is said to be rented?" asked Tsunade as she took another swig of her sake, "Shizune says it's been rented by a wealthy young man from Tokyo who was originally from here, is single, rich and his name is Naruto Uzumaki."
"Well…Watson, (a/n: Watson is the name of Sherlock's assistant aka sidekick) you honestly know I don't care to listen to social news and rumours, so why bother to ask when you're going to tell me anyways? I don't exactly have a choice!!"
"Well…if you had a social life, I wouldn't have to ask!" countered the blonde, taking another gulp.
"That's nice dear…" responded Sanzo in a bored tone, as he rolled his eyes and continued to read.
"Yo! Put down the damn paper, I'm not finished here!!" commanded Tsunade, red in the face while Sanzo put down the paper cautiously, "Yes, I was thinking that it was time for our girls to get married –"
"You're always thinking that!"
"Shut up! I'm still talking here!"
"…Whatever…Continue if you must…"
"Yes, so…I was thinking that we, that is you, should invite him over and let him make one of our daughters his bride!!!" exclaimed the hazel eyed woman triumphantly as she boosted her fist in the air, "Isn't it perfect? (hiccup) They'll fall madly in love with each other and live happily ever after!!" cried Tsunade with stars in her eyes.
"So why the hell can't you do it?!"
"Cause I'm the lady!!"
"You're drunk again, aren't you?" asked the brunette nonchalantly, eying his wife suspiciously.
"Now why (hiccup) would you (hiccup) say such a thing?" she slurred. He then returned to his paper just as she slumped over in her chair, sleeping soundly.
"…I'll take that as a yes then…" ended Sanzo with a knowing smirk.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
…Some time later…Much later…
"Zzzzz…hmmmm…(Snort)…Sanzo?!" cried Tsunade while frantically searching for her husband, "Oi, Sanzo!!!"
"Yeeessssss dear?" answered Sanzo in his usual monotone as he sauntered into the room, "What is it now, woman?"
"You do remember what I said about Mr. Uzumaki, right?" questioned Tsuande.
"Well…yeah, I guess…" answered the cyan eyed man uninterestedly.
"So did you do it?" asked the blonde excitedly.
"Do what, exactly?" asked her husband innocently.
"Invite him over…duh!!" retorted Tsunade as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"You were serious?"
"Of course I was you nimrod!!" shouted the blonde, "What did you think I was, drunk?!"
"You were drunk…and you probably still are…"
"So…what's your point?!"
[Insert anime face fault here:
"By the way…get me more sake…I'm out right now…I seemed to have finished it…"
"Are you freaking kidding me here?!!" exclaimed the brunette.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
…The next day…
Sir Sanzo, under his wife's wishes (and nagging), set off to visit the ever popular and influential, Mr. Uzumaki and request for him to me his daughters at the ball, which went along the lines of…
"Well Naruto…So what do you think?"
"Will there be ramen there?!"
"Um…I suppose…"
"Then I'm so there! Count me in!!"
…Later…
"So dear, how did your daygo?" (A/n: Do you see the hidden message?) asked Tsunade calmly that evening in the vicinity of the private lounge, while sipping on her sake, again. One would think there was a hint of concern, but Sanzo knew otherwise…
"Well…I went to see Mr. Uzumaki as you wished, or rather persisted and talked to him for a while -"
"Mr. Uzumaki? I've heard that name before, but where exactly…?" inquired a young woman curiously. She had long soft bubblegum pink hair, which fell off her shoulders; shimmering jade green eyes, which could captivate almost anyone; smooth creamy flawless skin and not to mention, was clad in a close fitting burgundy tank top and ash gray sweat pants, which had 2 burgundy stripes down each side. She eyed her father carefully, looking up from the book she was currently reading while lying on her back on the soft olive green tapestry sofa…
"Well Sakura, he-"
"Will be the future husband of one of you girls!!" exclaimed Tsuande enthusiastically, "Because he will be so enchanted by your beauty at the party!!"
Everyone around her sweat dropped at her enthusiasm …or rather, insanity.
"Um…You were saying dad?" continued a slightly younger woman with large opal pupiless eyes that could be mistaken for bottomless pits; indigo hair that fell upon her shoulders with bangs that framed her forehead and cheeks; pale smooth skin and was dressed in a lavender long sleeved shirt with khaki capris as she stared at Sanzo sincerely from beside Sakura, while putting her piece of writing on hold.
"Thank you, Hinata," said Sanzo, "Now as I was saying before I was sorudely interrupted," all attention was turned towards Tsunade who whistled innocently, "Mr. Uzumaki is quite a cheerful, ambitious and determined young man, but a tad bit on the hyperactive side…"
"Wait…are you talking about the Naruto Uzuamki, that influential speaker who's one of the world's most eligible bachelors?" asked a woman with golden blonde hair, styled in numerous pig tails; dressed in a loose lilac sweater that hung off the shoulder, over an onyx black tank while browsing the web on her PDA and sitting cross legged in a beige futon.
"He is?" asked Sanzo curiously, "You don't say…"
"No duh, dad!" stated another young woman with long blonde hair tied in a high ponytail; sapphire blue eyes and clad in a light blue t-shirt, that said Angel in silver writing and straight legged denim jeans, "I mean seriously, would it kill you to pick up a fashion magazine every once in a while?" she lectured while fixing her makeup.
"Sorry to burst your bubbles ladies, but as you know I'm married to a w-o-m-a-n," countered Sanzo, "So I have no interest in men!"
"Dad, we didn't say you were and fyi…we can spell…well…at least I can…" snapped Sakura hotly.
"Oh please…is that all you guys ever talk about?" asked a young woman with chestnut brown hair styled in two Chinese buns; chocolate brown eyes and sporting baggy forest green camouflage cargoes and a light brown Old Navy t-shirt as she played video games while laying flat on her stomach on the cream carpeted ground.
"That's not all we talk about, Tenten," corrected Temari as said girl rolled her eyes.
"Anyways… why are you always talking about marriage?" started Tenten, "This is getting as old as hell!"
"Because…you're getting older and I'm not getting any younger!! Plus, I wanna see some grandkids before I die, which is not too long from now…" explained Tsunade flippantly.
"Mom please," started Temari, "I'm 25, Ten's 22, Ino and Sakura are 21 and Hinata is 20 going on 21 in a few months!"
"And you guys are in your 40's!!" added Ino.
"Well actually we armmff-"started Sanzo before he was cut off by Tsunade's hand.
"Yes…being in our 40's makes us old" ground out the hazel eyed blonde woman.
"We still have plenty of time!" cut in Sakura, 'Besides…we all know how old you really are…'
"That may be true…but are any of you dating or engaged?" countered Tsunade slyly and almost immediately the whole table fell silent. Taking this as her answer, she continued, "My point exactly! Sooo…on with the dinner plans then! You did invite him for dinner didn't you, right?"
"Ugh…why me why always me?" muttered Sanzo grimly as he banged his head on the desk.
"So now I have to go back and invite him over?" asked the brunette pitifully.
"Well yes…it's you're fault for not remembering, bird-brain…besides…the dinner party is tomorrow…"
"Say what?!" cried the girls (+ Sanzo) simultaneously.
"Surprise, surprise!" smirked the hazel eyed mother.
"You really don't waste any time, do you?" sighed her cyan eyed husband.
"Well they're all over 20, I figured it's about time they got some action in their lives! But don't worry! You'll thank me when you get older!"
'Pshh…yeah right!' thought the rest of the family sarcastically while the hazel-eyed mother grinned mischievously.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Truth be told, Tsunade and Sanzo were not their real parents, but originally their god-parents, due to different fates and lifestyles of their original parents (A/n: which will be explained more in depth at a later date…but for now just go by the current reasons…)
More specifically, Sakura and Ino's parents lived abroad on business, and kept in touch with them every now and then. Tenten being an orphan from birth. Temari's mother dying when she was 3 and her abusive father being killed when she was 15, but even though she had 2 younger siblings, they did not live together anymore. Hinata's parents (especially her father) neglected her because they were more focused on her younger sister, so she ran away. Fortunately, however, they were adopted by the couple at very young ages, added to the fact that Tsunade was unable to bear children, due to her drinking habits (a/n: Work with me here people!).
Even so, Hinata still kept in touch with her clan (especially her cousin, Neji, whom she was kinda close to) and Temari still kept in touch with her younger siblings, Gaara and Kankuro very often (a/n: Don't worry peeps…They'll all be making an appearance soon…just not in this chapter…).
It has always been Tsunade's dream to have grandchildren and even though the girls are not her real children she wants them to be in good hands when she and her husband pass on. This is where her obsession with them getting married came from.
Not to mention, even though the couple may not have been their real parents, they respected them more than their real parents, so to them, they were referred to as mom and dad or mother and father, nothing more…nothing less…
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"I want the white ceramic china! Not the turquoise ones!" cried Tsunade to her servants who bustled about busily, heeding to her orders, "Um…yes…now where was I?" inquired the blonde on her Motorola olive green Pebble cell that was previously on hold.
"For the catering I want the usual stuff…ramen, sushi, rice cakes, egg rolls…you know, the usual…plus some international entrees! Like what? How the hell should I know?! Surprise me!!" she ordered as she paced the ball room.
"I'm gonna need some appetizers, champagne…etc. etc… Plus lots of sake…of course I'm serious you nimrod! I'm paying you aren't I? Hold that thought!!" she interjected as she swiveled her head around.
"No you retards! I want the ice sculpture to the left…or maybe more to the right…oh, what the hell, just leave it!! Hey you! That furniture over there ain't gonna move itself!! I need results people!! Get a move on!! Chop-chop!! That colour is blinding me, get rid of it!! This place needs to be ready by tonight!!" bellowed the temperamental blonde.
"Shizune!!" beckoned the hazel eyed woman, "Where's my sake?!"
A woman with short onyx black hair (a/n: Seriously…her hair looks black to me…then again…it could be dark brown…) and eyes; was wearing a cobalt blue jacket that had golden buttons; a matching skirt; a white under shirt and a pair of obsidian black low heels; scurried to her mistress' aid while carrying a bottle of sake, schedules plus a snobbish pink pig in her arms, with great difficulty.
"Here you go mam!! Tonton has been walked as well!!" she stated after handing Tsunade the bottle of sake.
"Mmmhmmm…thank you very much, Shizune…now where was I?" pondered the blonde, currently back on her phone, "Oh yes, about the orders…what do you mean I'm wasting your time?! I'm the one who called you damnit!! As far as I know it, you're the ones wasting my time!!!!!! Don't back sass me!!!!!!!!!"
CRRRRRAAAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHHHH, was the sound of breaking glass that littered the floor in a thousand shards.
"YOU FUCKING IMBECILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" roared Tsunade, who's voice shook the house and could be heard from miles away.
"DON'T KILL US!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE MEERRCCYY!!!!!!!!!" cried the servants who fell to their knees.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
…Later that evening…
The evening sky was of a light turquoise that eventually darkened into a deep midnight blue while the golden stars and the silvery crescent shaped moon crept from their hiding places. The night air was quite cool and the night life was bustling and well…coming to life. Inside, guests were starting to arrive. However, whether fortunately or unfortunately, the guest of honour was nowhere to be seen…yet.
But, although the scenery may have seemed peaceful and normal, inside was a different story as a certain family sat waiting in the private living room (which was about the size of a normal living room; had soft white carpeted floors; striped cream furniture, that consisted of 2 sofas and a large comfy chair; gardenia painted walls; pictures of different sizes hanging on the walls; a mini bar; entertainment centre and sliding doors).
"Where
the hell is he?!!" inquired Ino impatiently. She wore a close
fitting periwinkle spaghetti strap dress with a low U cut neckline
and stopped right at her knees; an amethyst pendant and jewellery
with a silver accents; pointed-toed silver heels and her long blonde
hair in a low ponytail.
"Youdid
invite him didn't you?" asked Tsunade; who wore a chocolate brown
dress that was about 2 inches below the knee, had a V cut neckline;
gold and maroon (a/n: Yes… maroon) jewellery; brown leather heels
and her hair up; glaring daggers at her lethargic husband, who wore a
simple pastel pinstripe dress shirt; gray pants and soot black
shoes.
"Of course I did, dear,"
answered Sanzo frankly, "It's not as if I had
a choice!"
"Seriously mom, you need to chill," interjected Tenten in annoyance, "He'll be here, I guess…Well he better be…that is…" She wore a beige dress with a U-cut neckline and bordered the bosom; a white translucent jacket with bell sleeves; a dark brown choker; taupe coloured wedge heeled shoes that covered the toes, had straps around the ankles; silver jewellery and her hair in one single bun, "It's not that important!"
"That's what you all say now, but 10-60 years down the line when you're old, poor and lonely, you'll be saying 'I wish I was rich, famous and married to Naruto or some other rich guy and -"
"That's highly unlikely mother…We will never be that desperate…" cut in Sakura, in a matter of fact tone. She wore a ruby red halter top dress; her hair up in a loose style with locks to the side to frame her face; charcoal black strappy heels and gold jewellery.
"Well-"
"That's enough dear," interjected Sanzo, "Leave the girls alone now. They don't need any added stress…" he declared, pulling her towards the door.
"But-" stalled Tsunade, clinging to the doorway.
"Oh
come on woman! We'll look out to see if he's come yet! Now…LET'S.
GO!!!!!!!" he grounded out with one final tug as he finally dragged
her out the door.
"Well, that was…interesting…"
mumbled
the pink haired young woman.
"Soooo…my dear sisters…who do you think Naruto will pick when he sees us?" asked Ino excitedly.
"Don't know…don't care…" replied the brunette nonchalantly.
"How unfortunate…I on the other hand was thinking more along the lines of moi…"
"Well…in
that case, then he must be more retarded than he is already said to
be…" spat Temari in her violet strappy dress; obsidian black
heels; silver jewellery and her hair in a low ponytail.
"Oh
yeah? Like you're better?!!"
"Obviously! Anyways…I don't date blondes…just being blonde is enough…"
"It's pretty ridiculous if you ask me…but Tem, aren't you older than him anyways…" added Sakura.
"Yeah, you'd be more like an aunt to him!!!" added Ino triumphantly.
"Uhh…Ino…it's only 4 years, he's like 21…" clarified the pink locked girl I annoyance.
"…I hear he's very nice…" mumbled Hinata quietly, straightening out her lavender long-sleeved dress that she wore with low black heels.
"Yeah…that's what we hear…but is it really true?" asked Sakura skeptically, "It's pretty much pointless to fight over someone we haven't even met before!"
"Girls," came a familiar voice from the wooden doorway, "Sorry to interrupt your oh-so-important discussion, but Naruto and company are here…" drawled their father.
"And…company?" inquired the girls to no one in particular as they gave each other confused looks.
"Yes…his so called party…I guess I forgot to mention that earlier…My deepest apologies…Now be like angels and come along now…Quickly!"
The girls cautiously filed out through the door, curious as to what and who they would see once they reached outside. Strangely enough, upon reaching to the crowded ballroom, a wave of shock and curiousity overtook them…
"Oh," started Hinata.
"My," continued Sakura.
"God," added Tenten.
"He's an orange-" interjected Temari.
"Fashion disaster!" ended Ino.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Before them proudly stood the long awaited guest aka the man of the hour aka the guest of honour (a/n: Hey…that rhymes…lol…) aka Naruto.
He had spiky blonde hair, large sapphire blue eyes, tanned skin, unusual marks on his cheeks that resembled whiskers, but still retained a handsome face despite this; a tangerine orange dress shirt with cobalt blue tie and pants, plus shiny black shoes and a boyish grin plastered across his face.
Ironically, as much as his appearance was…questionable…what really caught the guests' attention was the taller brooding male beside him. He had obsidian black hair (with a raven sheen), that framed his handsome face and spiked at the back; pale unscarred skin and wore a charcoal black dress shirt, with the first three buttons undone, under a midnight blue jacket; clean white pants and designer soot black shoes.
Compared to the supposed guest of honour, who was also his companion, his features seemed to captivate everyone in the room, which included the unnoticed third companion, who was like a copy of Naruto except feminine in the fact that she had medium length blonde hair, smooth unmarked cheeks and a tight sky blue knee-length sleeveless dress that showed her womanly curves, navy blue heels and a small matching purse. Not to mention the majority of the female population and a few males, were practically swooning over him. But, he really didn't care. He found them as 'mindless-idiots-who-have-nothing-better-to-do-with-their-time-but-ogle-people-who-are-better-than-them-in-every-way'.
The tapping of a wine glass snapped everyone out of the trance as they searched for the source, until their eyes landed upon the ever patient Sanzo.
"Ok everyone it's time to introduce our special guest-" began bespectacled man before he was cut off by the blonde.
"Umm…can I do it myself?" asked the sapphire eyed man anxiously.
"By all means…suit yourself…" shrugged Sanzo as he stepped aside.
"Alright everyone…listen up!!" started the blonde with facial expression between a smirk and a grin, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, believe it!! And these two…" he added as he motioned to the mysterious man and the young woman who looked almost like a female version of himself, "Are Sasuke Uchiha (the guests gasped in recognition while Sasuke just rolled his eyes) and my sis Ami (who gave a light flip of her hair…well to her, that is…in reality she looked like she could whack somebody unconscious)" ended Naruto with a peace sign as his audience sweatdropped at their antics, (i.e. Ami and Naruto's).
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
In Sakura's Mind:
Uh…at least he's enthusiastic…
Enthusiastic? Yeah right…more like idiotic
He's not…that idiotic…
You're right…he's like on the hyper cloud of 'I'm-so-freaking-happy' to retardation!!
Why are you always so cruel?
'Cause I'm crazy like that!
You think?
Hey! You better recognize!!
Well at least Sasuke looks good…
Good? Sasuke is the embodiment of sexy!!!! He is beyond sexy!!!
Yeah… but he probably has a girlfriend…who is possibly that blonde girl over there…she looks way prettier than me anyways…
No dipshit…even though she looks like a slut…but hot people never stay single for long…Soon he'll be ours!!! Cha!!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"He's a hot blonde idiot!" cried Ino in fury.
"…A complete one…" added Temari, "And Ami looks like she has a thing for Sasuke…" she finished, looking at the blonde ogling the dark haired man with eyes of lust not to mention, practically drooling over him.
"Sasuke is sooo gonna be my next husband!!" cried Ino triumphantly.
"What happened to Naruto?" asked Tenten with a smirk.
"He seems inadequate in the intelligence and manners area…" interjected Temari.
"But he is still kinda hot!" added Ino.
"Hell yes...but not as hot as Sasuke…" clarified Temari.
"You guys are so shallow…looks aren't everything!!" stated the pink haired beauty.
"Not in this case…'cause he even looks rich. So back off…'cause he's so mine!!"
"In your dreams Ino!" spat the other blonde.
"Bring it blondie!!"
"You're blonde too you ditz!!"
"Oh yeah? So what y-"
"Would you two shut up?!!" commanded Tenten and Sakura at the same time, just as Sanzo signaled the guests over with a wave of his hand.
"Now sweethearts…you're mother would love if you would behave yourselves now because our special guests are coming over.
Naruto practically left his company in the dust as he raced over to our favourite family. Tsunade instantly put on a fake smile, to which Tenten rolled her eyes at; Sakura let out a sigh; Temari examined her nails; Ino flipped her hair flirtatiously; Hinata was sweating bullets with a red tinge spread across her face (a/n: Hmmmm…I wonder why…) and Sanzo let out a yawn.
…5 minutes later…
"Sooo…Naruto…if I may call you that…Do tell us about yourself!!" commanded Tsunade in a fake business like tone, with an air of dignity, while she sat with crossed legs in her large beige chair.
Naruto scratched his head and then gave her a lopsided grin, "…Well…" began the blonde, "I like ramen!! Lots and lots of ramen!! Especially in all flavours!! I like to mix them too!! But I don't like the wait…and oh yeah!! One day, even though I may be an influential speaker who does a little modeling on the side now, I want to become the next president/ leader/ prime minister!! Believe it!!!" he finished in one breath.
Tsunade, Ino and Temari merely stared at him, as if he was a circus freak or something. Sakura grinned, Tenten smirked, Hinata blushed (more) and Sanzo let out a low chuckle. Sasuke simply rolled his eyes and Ami basically did whatever Sasuke did, well besides smacking her forehead.
"So this is the real Mr. Uzumaki…" responded the cyan eyed brunette with a smirk, "I like this kid…He's honest, has spirit and a good heart!" he said as he patted him on the back. Everyone couldn't help but smile.
111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
CLLLIIIFFFFFFHHHAAANNNGGGEEERRR!!!!!!!!!!!! Not!!! Get ready for part 2!!!
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Sasuke was beginning to grow very annoyed with the constant stares, giggles and passes directed at him within the room. You'd think he would be used to this by now. Seriously, can't a guy just stay at home and chill or read a book or something to bide time by. But unfortunately…life never goes as planned…
"Heeyyy Sasuke…I've been wanting to meet you for a reeaallyyy long time…" purred Ino flirtaciously as the dark haired man cringed, both inwardly and outwardly.
"Move it pig-face!" cut in Temari, "Sasuke needs a real woman in his life!!"
"And that's supposed to be you?!!"
"Obviously!!"
In Sasuke's Mind:
What…the…fuck?
Ooohhh…we got a case of some seriously desperate blondes…
No, seriously?
No need to be all sarcastic man…Just walk away from this scene very slowly…
What do you think?
…I think that sexy people should just stick to being sexy…
So I'm supposed to turn into some mindless sex-god?
Well…Since you put it that way…We're bringing sexy back…Them other brothers don't know how to act…
HELL NO!!! True….But, HELL NO!!!
Fine…I was just being honest…We could rule the sex world…Just the 2 of us!!
Are you always this horny?
…Maybe…
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Sasuke was usually accustomed to just walking away in situations like this or simply insult the person so badly that they, infact, leave. This situation seemed to be different however…besides the fact that the blondes were very persistent…
"Listen up you demented overly-flirty blondes!!" snapped the Uchiha as their attention was directed upon him, "Incase you didn't know-"
"He's mine ladies, so not sorry to burst your bubbles!" came a new voice from behind.
"WHAT!!!?!!!" exclaimed the two blondes (+ Inner Sasuke) while Sasuke on the other hand twitched like there was no tomorrow.
"Come on Sasuke-baby…Let's go…" commanded Ami, "It's getting way too blonde fan-girlish around here…" she spat while pulling the speechless man away by the tie.
Say what?!
…She just contradicted herself…
"Oh no she didn't!!" cried Ino.
"She. Just. Did!!" fumed Temari.
"THAT BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" cried the two simultaneously.
…Meanwhile…
"Ami, that was an interesting way of rescuing me from that situation…but I think you can let go of my tie now and…Baby? What the hell is up with that, you know I'm not an infant?" smirked the now fully recovered from shock, Uchiha.
In Sasuke's Mind:
Yeah…Why the hell is she calling us her baby?!
Because she wants me to have hers?
Wow…and I thought you were just plain dense…
And I thought you were just plain stupid
Hey!!
"Well…you can't blame me can you now?" countered the woman.
Um…Yes we can…
No dipshit
"I would still prefer my personal space, if you don't mind…" stated the onyx eyed man.
"…By all means dear…"
"I'm NOT your dear!"
"I was still wondering if you would like to dan-"
"No!"
"-ce with-"
"Nope!"
"-me but-"
"Uh-uh!"
"Why not?"
"Not gonna happen!"
"Please!"
"No!"
"Pretty please!!"
"NO!"
"Pretty please with sugar on top!!"
"N-O!!"
…5 minutes later…
"Oh come on!"
"No!"
"Don't you wanna?"
"Hell no!!"
"You know I'm not going to stop unless you either kiss me and/ or dance with me?" ended the sapphire-eyed blonde with a smirk. Once again, the Uchiha twitched.
In Sasuke's Mind:
Damn…she's good
She probably had this planned out all along!!
Using manipulation to dance with me
I told you that bitch was desperate!!
Not now!! You heard her proposal!!
Oh yeah…either dance with her or kiss her until she rapes you…
You're exaggerating right?
Maybe…maybe not…I always knew you were dense…
Can we move along now?!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
With a sigh, Sasuke ran a hand through his raven locks and unwillingly complied. This was going to be one long supposed 5 minutes of his life.
"Ok…I'll dance…with…you…" he ground out, Ami merely smirked,
In Ami's Mind:
…5 minutes is all I need…
You know he doesn't like you right and by the way…ewwwww…What the hell are you going to do to change his mind in 5 minutes?
Ok…Well maybe not today…but one day…he will be mine…
Umm…yeeaahhhh…Keep dreaming…
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
After the dance, (to which Ami tried to prolong and fortunately failed in doing) Sasuke continued to decline ALL other offers with cold words, icy glares or just walking away and refused to be introduced to any ladies. So instead he spent the rest of the night brooding while strolling around the room aimlessly.
Naruto, in comparison, was the life of the party, doing everything from eating every dish, dancing every dance, to even juggling and so on. The contrast between him and Sasuke was unbelievable. They were said to be best friends, but they were polar opposites and as a result, Naruto was elevated in their eyes as an all-around guy while Sasuke just seemed too proud to care.
"Jeez…somebody needs to get on the happy train," stated a certain pink haired girl, who watched the dark haired man intently.
"Well Saku, he could just be shy…" explained Hinata.
"Shy?! He just told that girl to drop dead and you call him shy?"
"Umm…well…you should never judge a book by it's cover…"
"…Whatever you say Hins…He looks like a pretty boy with some serious attitude problems…"
"True my dear, he may seem to have quite a deplorable character that I wouldn't just leave at narcissism, but it's never good to judge people you know nothing about. Then again...what do I know?" came their father from out of nowhere and then disappearing again.
'What was that about?' thought the two curiously.
Tsunade gossiped away with her friends about everything from the best brand of sake to pillows, Temari gave up on flirting and went to playing shogi with Tenten (who was losing), Ino continued to flirt shamelessly, Sanzo fell asleep and soon Sakura was left by herself as Hinata disappeared mysteriously.
In Sakura's Mind:
How'd I end up by myself again?
Maybe because you're a loser with no life
Hey! I have a life, I'll have you know!!
Riigghhhtttt…Sure you do…
Shut up!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Unbeknownst to Sakura, she was being watched from far away by a certain hyperactive blonde who was very entranced by her beauty from first sight…a.k.a. Naruto…
Sakura is so perfect…and hot!!
…Sure she is kid…
Of course…duh!
I was being sarcastic you nimrod!!
Uhhhh…I knew that…
Yeah, right
Hey! She's looking this way!!
And so?
Better turn on my good side!
You frigging dumbass!! Do you even have a good side?
Of course…All devilishly handsome men have one…
She thinks you're retarded!! She probably feels sorry for you or something!!
Nu-uh!!
Face facts you moron!
Whatever…Our love will prevail!!
Love is blind you dipshit!!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Whilst turning around, he accidentally bumped into/ knocked over Hinata, who in an attempt to prevent herself from falling, ended up pulling the clueless blonde down with her, and you'd think that Naruto, being the gentleman he is, would have switched positions to avoid her getting hurt, yet it never occurred to him, yes…he's that clueless.
This encounter ended in an obvious awkward situation, (i.e. Naruto being on top of Hinata) and the poor pearly eyed girl was blushing so hard she looked like a spotlight.
Inner Hinata:
Oh lord…oh dear…oh my…oh boy!!! (Thought Hinata on the verge of hyperventilation).
Get a hold of yourself you frigging wuss!!
P-p-pardon?
You heard me! Get up!!
Ummm…
Hey…he's actually kinda hot though…Oh my god…You do realize you like a hyperactive blonde right?
Well…He has really pretty eyes…Like sapphires…
Who are you? Shakespeare or something?!!
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Meanwhile, ironically, Naruto seemed to be in the same situation, lost in thought…
Inner Naruto:
You should go for the shy girl since you're kinda ON TOP OF HER RIGHT NOW!!!
Hinata? No way!!
Yes…She actually has a thing for you…for some strange reason…
She does?
It's ironic…The chick he likes doesn't like him and only sees him in a platonic light but the chick who likes him is the one whom he sees in a platonic light…
Um…What?
Just shut up!!
Hey…She's kinda cute…Why's her face red?
Are you really that dense or just plain stupid?!
…Uhh…
It's called blushing you moron!!
So why is she blushing?
Gee…I don't know…Maybe because she's EMBARRASSED or she actually likes you or she probably can't breathe…
…
Wow…Silence…Man, I'm good…
……
…Just get up you frigging dumbass…
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
The blonde cautiously rose from his position, never breaking eye contact with the flushing girl, who was about a second away from hyperventilation, as he helped her to her feet. Though unnoticed to the couple, they had gathered quite an audience.
"Oh yeah!" cried Naruto in realization, "So so sorry for bumping into you! That was my fault…" Hinata slowly nodded in agreement silently, "I-I-it's ok…"
[Insert Awkward Silence Here:
"Soooo…Do you like ramen?!"
"…W-well I like to make it b-but I do l-like to e-eat it as well…"
"Great!! You're my new best friend!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Naruto as he embraced the indigo haired girl in a bone-crushing hug.
"Uhhh…N-na-r-ru-t-to…C-can't b-breathe…" choked out the Hyuuga as she was now on the verge of fainting.
"Oh…my bad…Ehehehe…Hey…Let's dance!!" exclaimed the blonde as he pulled the girl along to the dance floor.
…Meanwhile…
Unbeknownst to them, her family had also watched the whole scene from across the room…
"Whoa…Go Hinata..." cheered Sakura, "That's my girl!!"
"Hold up! So she gets Naruto just like that?" snapped Ino, "Why?!!"
"…Wow…That was unexpected…" muttered Temari.
"…Didn't know she had it in her…" smirked Tenten, "Makes you wonder…"
"…." Sanzo was just smirking.
"Can you say wedding bells?!" chimed Tsunade.
'Oh come on…Not this again…' thought the family in annoyance, before the girls wondered off yet once again, leaving the two adults alone.
"Don't you ever give up?" asked Sanzo to his grinning wife.
"Nope!!" chirped the blonde woman.
"…Figures…"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Oh come on bastard," said Naruto still tugging along Hinata, "You need to get a life and party!! It burns my heart (a/n: Yes…it burns his heart…) to see you moping about like you've got a stick shoved up your ass! Dance and let yourself go, yo!!"
Sasuke snorted at this comment, while watching his hyperactive friend do the electric slide, (or rather attempting to do it). Ami, had fortunately or unfortunately, disappeared a while back, probably to fix her make up and work on other plans to get Sasuke (or die in a ditch).
"First off," he started, "are you implying that you actually have a life? Secondly, you're the idiot who dragged me here against my will in the first place, so that's your fault. Thirdly, if I had a stick up my ass, I would have either shoved it down your throat or beat your ass senseless with it already (a/n: That sounds soooooo wrong fro some reason…). Fourthly, I don't like to dance and besides…even if I did, I wouldn't dance with people I don't know and don't want to know!!" finished the onyx-eyed man in a matter of fact tone.
"Well…when you put it that way…you make it sound so bad…"
"You freaking dumbass!!! [Insert anime face fault here:
"Oh come on," coaxed the blonde, "Look at all the lovely ladies here tonight!" he finished off while wiggling his eyebrows.
"Do I look like I care?" snapped the Uchiha.
"…I always knew you were gay…" muttered Naruto a little too loudly, which earned him a whack to the head from a certain dark haired man.
"I…AM…NOT…GAY!!!"
"Whatever! Since you're all e-mo-tion-al about it, lemme introduce you to one of her sisters, who is quite the eye-catcher if you know what I mean," said Naruto nudging him in the ribs, earning him another smack to his head.
"No…I don't know what you mean and I don't want to know either…"
Sakura, who was within earshot, had been listening to the conversation and was a bit taken back when she realized that Naruto had meant her.
Inner Sakura:
Look alive dumbass!! This is our chance to impress him!!
You really think so?
Of course! We're quite able…Why not?
Sakura's inner battle was cut short however, due to the raven haired man turning around to look at her and in turn caught her eye (causing her to slightly blush). With a snort he turned his back to her.
"She's not that pretty enough to even tempt me to waste my breath on her! She has freaking pink hair for crying out loud! Does that seem normal to you?!!" he concluded coldly.
Oh no that bitch didn't!! His ass is going down!!!!
Is there something wrong with me or something?! I didn't think my hair was that bad…
You just got dissed and dismissed…big time…with a capital D-I-S-S-E-D and D-I-S-M-I-S-S-ED…Not to mention B-U-R-N-E-D and you're worrying about your damn hair?!
…But…
You're a lively, intelligent, determined young woman who is also caring and kind!!
Yeah!
And independent
Yeah
Has common sense
Everyone should
Follows her own judgement
My intuition
Yet you wonder why you still can't find a man…
Umm…don't you mean us?
Surrreeeee…Speak for yourself!
…
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Naruto sighed as he pondered over Sasuke's judgement. Sasuke was just plain cold, but you get used to him after a while. It's inevitable…
"…I thought she was pretty…Pink hair is unique…" replied Naruto.
In Naruto's Mind:
Ok…yeah…pink hair is unique…
It's cute
Yeah…but she's not a baby…
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
"Do you ever think about anything?! Unique doesn't mean pretty you retard!!"
In Sasuke's Mind:
Pink makes me think of kinky for some reason
…Ok…ewwwwww…
I'm just saying!!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"S-she's not t-that bad once you g-get to k-know her, really…" stated Hinata.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
In Sakura's Mind:
Yeah! I can always count on you Hins to back us up!!
Go Hinata!!
Bring that bitch down girl!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"That's my point exactly…I don't want to get to know her!" replied the brooding male coldly as Hinata reverted back to silence and ducked for cover behind Naruto, who had a blank/ clueless expression on his face. Using this as his cue to leave, Sasuke walked away.
"Told ya he was a bastard!!" cried Naruto.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
In Sakura's Mind:
Oooooohhh…Plane 020 Hinata just got shot down by the steel armada known as 100 Bastard Sasuke Uchiha!!
Wow…Naruto was right…He is a bastard…
No duh…that's the understatement of the year!!! Just who does he think he is anyways?!!
Well…He's from one of the world's richest and most famous clans…
Tell me something I don't know
…Desired by every woman and envied by every man…
Obviously!
And-
Ok, shut up now!! I get the point!!!
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Despite Sasuke's arrogance and bad attitude (not to mention his being stalked by fan-girls and Ami), the evening passed pleasantly as the situation was soon forgotten in the minds of the guest's and family.
The sheer sight of Naruto taking a liking to Hinata made Tsunade overjoyed whilst Sanzo seemed nonchalant about the situation, but he couldn't help but feel relieved and content somehow.
Sasuke may have been a no-go, but Naruto was their first and main priority and that was all that mattered…For then at least…
