The Animaru Hotel

"Hello, Miss Sakura. Welcome to The Animaru Hotel. I hope your stay is enjoyable," said the extremely polite bellboy to Sakura. She smiled and nodded, happily linking arms with Ino and heading up to their hotel room. They were staying at the hotel because of a class field trip. Unfortunately, the perverted boys' school was staying there, too. They were looking at all the tourist-y sights in Japan.

"I'm so excited! We're gonna see all the temples, and the huge statue of Buddha…aren't you excited, Sakura?" Ino exclaimed excitedly.

"Sure," said Sakura, keeping her eyes peeled for Gaara, Sasuke, and Lee. She just knew they'd find her first, and she didn't want that to happen.

"What are you looking for?" Ino inquired, being nosy as usual. Sakura just shook her head. Ino would definitely let the boys know where she was.

"Looking for your crushes, eh, Sakura?" Ino said, nudging Sakura's side. Sakura winced slightly but didn't turn her attention away…until she was nudged roughly in the ribcage again by Ino, barely a warning before Sakura banged her head into the elevator doors.

"Ow!" Sakura cried, rubbing the angry red bump on her forehead.

"Sakura!" she heard Lee yell.

"Oh, great," she moaned.

"Hey, Sakura. Do you need help carrying those bags? Oh, man, your forehead looks bad! Do you want some ice? Do you want some help? Cause I can totally help! Lemme help!" Lee cried out eagerly. Ino rolled her eyes and snorted.

"No way," Sakura said, turning back to get into the elevator, but instead bumping into Sasuke.

"Lemme take them," he said coolly, reaching out and snagging her bags easily.

"My bags!" Sakura said softly, chasing after Sasuke onto the elevator. Then the doors slid shut.

Sasuke gave Sakura a perverted smile.

Sakura only smiled in a frightened way and glued herself to the elevator wall, barely able to wait until they reached her floor. Sasuke continually inched closer, until the elevator doors banged open revealing…Gaara.

"Crap!" yelled Sakura, angry. Why were these guys suddenly following her? How did she even know they were? Where had that feeling come from? And why were they following her, again?

"Give me her bags," Gaara said roughly, grabbing them out of Sasuke's hands. Sakura stopped and thought, having a quick conversation with Inner Sakura.

"What the hell, Sakura? These guys are HOT! Just accept their services!"

"But…but, it's not right. It's probably a challenge between them or something. Then how stupid would we feel?"

"I don't know. Probably pretty stupid. But, let's take it while we can. Live in the moment, Sakura!"

"No. I'm not going to make a fool of myself over a guy."

"Three guys."

"Even worse. I'm not! You can't make me!"

"What if…what if they really like you? Come ON!!! You're ruining my fun!!!"

"FINE!!!! Just SHUT UP!!!! Talk to you later."

"Good. Lady Sassafras is here."

"…Sakura?" Sasuke yelled, practically in her face. Sakura shook her head slightly to get out of her two sided conversation.

"Oh. Um…yeah, Gaara, sure. You can carry my bags, if you want, I don't care," she said, trying to play it cool. Inner Sakura would be angry if she messed this up. Three guys all fighting for her attention? A dream come true.

"Where's Naruto…?" she wondered softly.

"WHAT?!?" Gaara said, whipping around. "Nothing," muttered Sakura. Gaara continued down the corridor until they arrived at Sakura's room.

"Gee, thanks, bye," Sakura said without thinking. Gaara put a hand on her door.

"Aren't you going to invite me in, Sakura?" he said. She shook her head, confused. Why the hell would she invite a guy into her hotel room…oh.

"Sure. Come on in," she recovered quickly. Gaara smirked as she pushed open the door. She dragged in her suitcase as he walked in casually.

"Wow, it's small. I mean, of course it's small, it's a hotel and we're all on this class trip, it's not supposed to be big. But, it's small for me. I mean, there's just the shower, and the bed. The single bed. The stupid single bed! I mean, not that I want a double bed. Well, actually, I do…not really! I don't know. Should I want a double bed? I don't think I—" Gaara quickly shut Sakura up when he turned around and kissed her hard on the lips, pulling her body to his. Sakura shut her eyes…!
