NARUTO doesn't belong to me.

"Tell me again why I decided to tag along," Sasuke said to his friend who only grinned at him before he started to climb up a fence with a little to no problems. The dark-haired let out a sigh before he, himself, started to climb up the fence. "If we get caught, I'm blaming this on you." He said and his friend let out a snort.
"You're a bastard, man," Naruto told his friend seriously and Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Hate it to ruin your little party, Naruto, but we are trying to break in the girl's dorms. So I am hundred percent blaming on you." Sasuke replied.
Naruto shrugged before jumping down and landing as safely he could with that kind of height. He grunted in pain and rubbed his ankles for a moment before getting up and going to hide in the first brush he sees. Sasuke, the smart one, climbed down the other side of the fence and landed safely. He looked at Naruto who was glaring at him before he rolled his eyes.
"It's not my fault that you didn't climb down. Who are you trying to impress by jumping down?" Sasuke questioned and Naruto only replied with a sarcastic 'hn.' He rolled his eyes again. Naruto better be quick at visiting their friends because he's up to there with him already.
"Look Sasuke." Naruto began getting out the brush since he made sure no one was outside but him and his best friend before running over to the girl's building as fast he can before any guards appear. Even when his best friend was against this idea of his; he still heard the footsteps of Uchiha Sasuke and he grinned.
"I will regret this but what is it?" Sasuke asked. He noticed the blonde didn't finish and he wanted to know because it might be important. We never know with the blonde. Naruto, the said blonde in question, grinned because he finally opened the front door with his handy bobby pin that he stolen from Deidara when he unwelcoming visit him with Sasori.
"We are in and we are going to follow Kiba's dare. One bra per each girl we know. If we don't get caught; we win. If we do get caught; let's run as fast we can." Naruto finally revealed his idea grinning at Sasuke who merely turned around and started to walk away. Naruto ran to grab Sasuke by his waist and turned back to the dorm before shoving the dark-haired in before closing when he went in grinning.
"Don't you ever grab me like that again," Sasuke told him and Naruto shrugged.
"Okay, let's see. All of our female friends on the top floor because Hinata and I went to study in her room once and she told me this important information. Let's go up the stairs." The blonde said seriously and Sasuke knows right there he's going to regret following the blonde.
"Hinata studied with you?" Sasuke asked when Naruto gave him an impatient look. How should he know Naruto was trying to start a conversation? If Sasuke was Pinocchio; his nose would have become longer because since when Naruto didn't try to start a conversation with him?
"Of course, man. She's smart and I needed some help with this class we shared. Besides, it's not like she has a thing for me." Naruto replied seriously and Sasuke resists the urge to smack the blonde's head for being so obvious. Hinata Hyuuga has had a 'thing' for Naruto Uzumaki since god knows when and Naruto still doesn't fucking know.
When they met Sai who transferred high schools during their last year found out right away the Hyuuga girl has a thing for Naruto. It's not the fact he was creepy with those fake smiles or he was too observant to many of people's liking, or he said things that almost got him either killed or beaten up, and the fact he thought Sakura was ugly just annoyed Sasuke. The last one will never be revealed to anyone.
Unlike Naruto; Sasuke knows Sakura have had a thing for him since grade school. Yes, had. As far the dark-haired knows; Sakura hasn't been showing an interest in him since they were able to get in the same college together with most of their friends but that was when they truly met Akasuna. Iwa's friend who sometimes hangs out with the other blonde.
It's unlikely that those two have a thing going on since they both were rivals and made such crude comments to each other; Sasuke seriously doubted they are dating. Yamanaka Ino, on another hand, thinks they're pretending to be assholes to each other because they're not ready to show the world their relationship.
Ugh.
"Hey, Sasuke," Naruto said snapping his fingers at Sasuke's face to gain back his attention and the dark-haired smack the blonde's hand away from his personal space. He was not thinking about Sakura and …. Akasuna. No way.
"You going to visit Sakura-chan first?" Naruto said grinning and Sasuke pushed him away from him altogether because he's just going to sit down on the steps of the last floor-he must have been caught in his musings; he didn't notice he walked up the stairs with the blonde- because he won't see Sakura or any girl for the matter.
So Sasuke sat down and gestured for Naruto to leave who snorted before opening the door and walked to his death bed.

Naruto who realized he has made a great mistake ran out of the room he was mistaken as Hinata's who was actually in the room across from Sakura . He just opened the door to see Sakura changing and she turned to look at him in shock before she looked so pissed and he ran away for his life.
"NARUTO." A scream was heard throughout the girl's doom and Sasuke wished the all the luck in the world for the blonde. The dark-haired knows who's that scream belong to and Sasuke knows Sakura is going to brutally kill the blonde. When Naruto brought up his sick idea and Hinata was mentioned; Sasuke thought he was going to take her bra, not Sakura's.
Well. Naruto deserves this. Naruto needs a wake-up call and Sakura is going to be the blonde's alarm clock. God help the kid. Let's see if Naruto is really a faster runner than the pink-haired.
A loud painful scream was heard not a moment later and Sasuke didn't think he was a faster runner than Sakura. So Sasuke got up to carry the fallen comrade before the door was burst opened just for him to see Sakura only wearing her black lacy bra and pants with large red hearts on them.
Silence.
"Sasuke?" She questioned with an eye twitched and Sasuke didn't know what to say. There was nothing for him to say. So he calmly stood his ground and waited for her to punish him like she did with Naruto. He closed his eyes and counted to ten but he wasn't hurt and he seemed to be still alive. Odd.
So risking it; Sasuke opened his eyes just to see Sakura did indeed make her move. She was just a foot away from him staring at him with a raised brow. She was the first one to break the silence. "What the fuck are you and Naruto doing here?" She asked calmly and Sasuke almost lost his voice.
He always had a small thing for her when she's calm before the storm so this wasn't working at all. Fuck his luck. He must have done some seriously bad shit in his previous life.
"Sasuke." She repeated his name staring at him. So Sasuke explained what Kiba told Naruto what to do and the blonde forced him to come along. He knew it was a bad idea from the start when Naruto and Kiba were grinning each other so devious; he knew they were going to get caught. He ended the tale with 'so that's why I'm sitting near the stairs because I wanted no part in this.'
It took five minutes for him to be rewarded with his punishment by the pink-haired. She smacked him across the face saying the reason was because 'he didn't try to stop the blonde guessing by his tale.' And he didn't so he said nothing.
So when Sakura started to walk down the stairs; Sasuke asked where she was going. She replied she was going to finish off the blonde who escaped from the fire exit.
Sasuke responded you don't have a shirt on and Sakura finally realized she was just wearing a bra and pants. Her cheeks colored in embarrassment and screamed at the dark-haired for not saying anything before she ran up the stairs and towards her room to get dressed. Sasuke took that as his clue for him to roll his eyes and slowly made his way down the stairs cursing Naruto to Hell for leaving him behind to deal with Sakura.

Naruto finally made it to the guy's dorms just to witness Deidara and Sasori coming out of their room and he blessed their timing. "GUYS. HELP ME OUT PLEASE." He shouted to gain their attention and they looked at him.
Sasori with indifference and Deidara looking amused at the blonde who came running to them panting and seemly out of breath before he sat down the floor to breathe better. The younger blonde stared at the elder with a sad look on his face.
So before the two elders asked what the hell is wrong; Naruto exhaled and began the tale from start to finish. He didn't leave out anything out. Like the personal details like trying to get Hinata's bra for the show-in-tale for the guys or accidently seeing Sakura only in her black lacy bra and her black pants with red hearts on them.
He then showed them the black bruise slowly appearing on his cheek saying Sakura punched him so hard; he thought he broke his jaw for a long painful second. He also explained if they have heard a loud painful scream; that was him.
Deidara and Sasori looked at each other with raised brow. It did indeed explain Naruto asking them for help, the upcoming bruise, and some blood the blonde had on his person. So Sasori only shrugged his shoulders giving the elder blonde a look and Deidara grinned.
This is going to be exciting.
"Before we let you in our room; what happened to Sasuke?" Deidara asked grinning and he watched Naruto's graceful smile slowly disappeared and he paled. Oh god no.
"I left him behind so he can face Sakura-chan's wrath," Naruto whispered and the elders prayed for the kid to survive tonight.
It was one thing for Naruto to be in danger to face Sakura's wrath but if you add Sasuke's wrath along the ride; the blonde can run but he can't hide for so long before they find him.
"If Sakura or Sasuke finds you in our room; I will explain this is Deidara's doing," Sasori said to Naruto before he walked away leaving Naruto in shock and Deidara glaring at the red-haired's back.
"Looks like you're not the only one to betray a friend," Deidara said darkly before gestured for Naruto to come in. Right away; Naruto did and Deidara slammed the door shut saying before they met Naruto; they were going to go to Taco Bell to get that big box deal that was so delicious, Naruto opened the door and slammed money in the palm of Deidara's hand asking for one with a, please.
Deidara shrugged and said sure before he left to catch up with Sasori because he knows from experience Sasori will leave him behind and he will be forced to walk to Taco Bell.
Naruto cheered before slamming the door and locking it. He was going to get Taco Bell. He has been wanting to find out at why Sakura and Ino were such in a happy and satisfied mood after eating the food inside the box; he wanted to try it himself.
So Naruto sat down on the couch and watched the mini TV before he started texting Kiba that he failed and he was caught by Sakura.
Naruto: I have failed, commander. I was caught by Captain Sakura-chan.
Kiba: Godspeed, soldier. You have been forgiven from your failure due to Captain Sakura capturing you. Did she punish you?
Naruto: *Sends him a picture message of the bruise on his jaw in response*
Kiba: Oh fuck, Naruto. You need to get that check.
Naruto: No way. I have to tell Granny Tsunade the reason why I got this bruise, and she will side with Sakura-chan.
Kiba: Well, you're fucked soldier.
Naruto: That's not the worse part.
Kiba: Oh?
Naruto: I may have caught Sakura changing when I opened the door. I also may have left Sasuke behind to face her wrath. Hehe..
Kiba: Goodbye soldier. You gonna die by their hand.
Naruto: You're not going to help a fallen comrade out?! What kind of commander are you!?
Kiba: A one that knows when to back off and not help a bro out! It's a survival instinct.
Naruto: Asshole. Come on, please! I managed to convince Deidara to help me out! I'm in his and Sasori's dorm room!
Kiba: You already have help, so fuck off. I want to live.
Naruto glared at his phone and stopped texting his betraying bro but deep down; he knew Kiba was right. Pissing off Sakura was one thing for the blonde but Sasuke too? Goodbye, soldier.
May his beautiful ass rest in peace. May his comrades pick up his ashes and mourn over the loss of a fallen comrade.
At least he will get find out what the food in the five dollar box taste like before he dies.

Sakura cursed her luck when she missed Sasuke and she doesn't know what direction he went. Knowing him; he will go not to the dorms like Naruto did. He's smarter than the blonde, after all. He was a fucking fast runner because what the fuck. Not fair. Does he have to beat her at nearly everything?
Although she didn't curse her timing when she noticed Sasori walking out of the dorm heading to his car and she ran to him screaming his name. She doesn't have the same access as Naruto did when he opened the door of the girl's rooms, you see.
When she realized Sasori stopped in his tracks to see who called him; she jumped into his arms and told him she needs to get in the dorm to have a long nice talk with Naruto. She was smiling at him hoping he let her in but all Sasori did be look down at her shirt and commented; she looked dressed to him.
It only took her a short moment for her to understand. When she did; she glared at him with rosy cheeks. Sasori simply got out her embrace and walked the remaining distance of his car. "This is not my business, Sakura. Go find a way to get in." He said and he started the car once he got in. He was about to pull away when Deidara ran out of the dorm to settle in the car with a grunt.
Sasori rolled his eyes and turned his head to give the last words to Sakura when he noticed she wasn't here and he smirked. It did indeed look like she followed his advice.
She may not be faster than Sasuke but she was quick on her feet. Deidara may not have noticed a pink-haired girl running inside the dorms when he slammed it open. Sasori was right. It was Deidara's doing.
Poor Uzumaki. He will be missed by that blind looking girl. 'Hyuuga' is all he remembers and he drove out of the parking lot to Taco Bell when he heard Deidara made an impatient sound. He knew the blonde was hungry and the blonde knew Sasori wasn't going to waste his time cooking so late at night.
They didn't notice Sasuke watching them from the distance with a frown. He slowly walked to the entrance of the dorms and punched in the code to get inside. It was late in winter and he wasn't fucking going to wait for Sakura to leave in this cold.
He wanted to deny watching Sakura embracing Sasori made him displeased but he will be lying to himself. Hell, he realized he may have fallen for her and he doesn't know when.
Too bad she moved on to Sasori. What a lucky asshole. Or that's what he thinks.

Sakura managed to successfully get in but she didn't know what room Naruto went to. She needs to think through one of her plans someday or work on her impulse control. She will happily admit she's not familiar with the guys' dorms and she doesn't even know what floor Naruto was on. She just knows not to get caught and she quickly left to find the stairs when someone grabbed her from behind and took her to a room.
Dammit. She got caught. So not fair.
"Sakura." Sasuke sneered at her direction when he let her go and she narrowed her eyes before she let out a snort. "Listen Sasuke. I have my reasons coming in and you know why." She told him putting her foot down before she walked up the stairs once she realized this is a room where the stairs were.
"Just because Naruto saw you changing doesn't mean you have to hit him. You already punched his face from what I heard." Sasuke told her coldly and Sakura stopped in her tracks at the cold truth. Maybe Sai was right when he told her one day someone is going to call on her shit and tell her to stop hitting Naruto when he does something wrong.
She just didn't think it was going to be Sasuke who himself got mad at Naruto enough to hit him but she realized he stopped doing that when they hit middle school and she was in shame.
Sakura was kinda horrible. She will admit that.
"If this wasn't Naruto, our friend since we were around four, I wouldn't say anything but that isn't the case. You can just talk to him about what's wrong. You don't have to fucking smack him around. It won't fix anything." He continued and Sakura bit her lip.
"How long have you been keeping this from me?" She asked softly and Sasuke walked up the stairs to stand next to her. She turned to look at him and Sasuke honestly said he had enough when she smacked him.
Oh.
"I may admit apologizing won't help the situation but it will help just a little. So I'm apologizing for smacking your face, Sasuke." She told him and she meant it. Sasuke 'hn' before he walked up the stairs and she took that as her answer.
After all, she should know by now Sasuke is the type to say what he needs to say before going back to only a few words. She doesn't why she fallen for a man like that but she doesn't regret.
She just stopped showing she's still in love with him. It will be good for them but later on; she will realize she had been wrong about that.
Maybe Sasuke should have told her the truth more. Life will be easier. Once Sakura and Sasuke made to the level where Naruto lives on; Sasuke was requested by Sakura that he would be the one to knock on the door to see if they have seen Naruto today. He only agreed because what she was wearing might mean something to the guy.
Sasuke rolled his eyes at some of these guy's pathetic attempt to stop their hormones. No wonder his brother and some of his friends are seen walking beautiful women to their classes as if they're bodyguards.
Maybe that weird Shino is right. 'Society is fucked. Do you know why? Look around and pay attention.' The dark-haired honestly thought that kid was just high but he might be say anything the truth.
So when Sasuke checked over five rooms and none of the boys saw the blonde but when the dark-haired tried to ask Kiba about Naruto's located; the brunette simply frowned at him asking why do you want to know?
"Sakura and I have to discuss something important with him," Sasuke replied and Kiba raised a brow before looking over the dark-haired's shoulder to see Sakura leaning against the wall raising a brow at him. Kiba grinned. He can't resist this.
"Hey, Sakura. Are you only going to show Naruto your body or is that the only private show you're going to host?" He questioned grinning and he watched her eyes widened before she looked so pissed at him and boy; he forgot about her temper.
When Sakura edged to closer to him; Kiba was going to close the door on her before a fist slammed against his cheek and he was slammed to the floor with a grunt of pain. Kiba slowly sat up and glared up at Sasuke who calmly looked at him with a frown.
"The fuck that's for, Sasuke?" Kiba demanded to get up only to get his ass kicked (literally) by the pink-haired bitch and he was down on the floor against but on his stomach this time. He turned to glare at Sakura who glared at him back.
"Bitch." He said to her and she narrowed her eyes and was about to say something when Sasuke got between them pushing Sakura to the artist's room and slamming the door shut canceling out whatever Kiba was going to say next.
"I could have handle whatever he was going to say, Sasuke," Sakura told him and Sasuke only gave her a look before knocking on the door to Deidara's and Sasori's dorm just to see Naruto answering it with a cheerful greeting. The blonde eyes widened in shock at who knocked and he was too late closing the door because of Sasuke's foot going in between the gap between the door and wall.
Sakura smiled happily at Naruto who paled and pushed him in the dorm room talking cheerfully about what she's doing now in her medical classes and Naruto was smiling listening to her. He hopes this is where she forgave him but that's not the much the case when Sasuke closed the door after he walked in.
"YOU BASTARD. WHAT THE FUCK WAS YOU THINKING?!" Sakura shouted at Naruto who winced at the scream and sat down on the door and Sakura sat next to him right away. Sasuke calmly sat down next to the blonde's other side and Naruto cursed his rotten luck.
Gone with Sakura's cheerful side to…. Her usual side. Goodbye, Miss Sweet Sakura; you're going to be missed.
"I wasn't thinking?" Naruto guessed and judging by Sakura's bright smile and Sasuke making a sound that sounded like approval; he guessed right. So far on this deadly quiz on his beautiful sweet life; he's on the good start.
"That's correct! You and Kiba weren't thinking! Why would you two think you were going to get away from this, hmm? Answer me that." Sakura asked next smiling at Naruto and he really cursed his fucking rotten luck now. Because that smile isn't good; not one bit. That's an evil smile.
"We were never going to get away from this and our pride got in the way," Naruto answered and Sakura rewarded him with a pat smiling and he almost cried because two correct answers so far.
"Correct again! If you answer this question right; we're going to celebrate, okay?" Sakura told him cheerfully and Naruto smiled at her before giving Sasuke a glare who simply gave him a look. Hint: Sasuke's not going to help him out of this.
Bro code wasn't going to fucking help Naruto. Now that he sees and he thinks Deidara might be the only true bro for him.
"What's the question?" Naruto asked because he didn't notice Sakura talking while he was thinking but she's seemed to be thinking the question still and he really hope it's going to be an easy one.
"Who were you trying to steal a bra from? Judging by your surprised look; it wasn't me which I am thankful and a little insulted." Sakura confessed and she heard Sasuke snorted at her which she leaned over the blonde to hush at the dark-haired's face. All Sasuke gave her was a look that made her frown at him.
Okay. Mr. Gives People Looks with his Hns, frowns, and his gorgeous smirks when he won and wait. Shut the hell up Sakura. We agreed we were moving on from this gorgeous guy and fucking dammit.
He got her hooked on him again and she knew spending just a little time with him is going to fuck everything she tried to accomplish.
Ugh. Fuck the Uchiha's and their gorgeous looks with killer eyes and smiles when you catch them smiling; you're hooked forever. Who gave them the right to mess with your hormones and try to turn you into a fangirl?
Naruto made a sound to gain Sakura's attention because he could have sworn she was going to jump Sasuke and kiss him and he doesn't want to be in the room to witness that. Because these two are like his siblings and no one wants to see their family giving their crush those looks that promise something.
Sasuke, on another hand, looked the opposite of what Naruto's feeling and Naruto just know it's going to be a matter of time when these two stop eye fucking each other and just kiss. Maybe when they're celebrating him surviving Sakura's questions; he would put on the Little Mermaid and fast forward to the part where you hear 'Kiss the girl' plays and watch what they do.
Sasuke and Sakura aren't going to be fond of him if he does and he wishes they let him have his fun for once. It's like once he left his parent's house and moved into the dorms; his best friends became his parent's figures and deep down; he's happy that they care about him.
Sakura blinked and snapped out of her trance to look at Naruto who gestured with a jerk of his head where she was and she remembers she's basically on top of him to see Sasuke and she quickly sat back down with a fake cough.
Sasuke wasn't embarrassed by this if his smirk didn't tell Naruto anything. His smirk showed he liked that attention and the blonde wondered if Shino finally convince the dark-haired to let loose and stop being 'such a frowny emo asshole.' and 'boy, do you need to get that stick up your ass a rest.' He didn't laugh at Sasuke's face when Shino told Sasuke that. Okay?
Okay. Maybe a little but that was gold and he loved Sasuke's taken back expression.
"Naruto." Was all Sakura said after she stopped being embarrassed and he let out a sigh
"I was trying to get Hinata's bra for a show-in-tale for the guys." The blonde revealed and he was punished by a smack from Sakura who was glaring at him with such fury and disappointment that he didn't have the heart to shout in pain.
"Show-in-tale, huh? Well if the guys are going to steal the bras; the girls have no choice stealing one pair of your guy's undergarments." Was what Sakura said and the two boys turned to gape her because that's not something she should say.
"Please tell me you're joking," Sasuke said and Naruto nodded. Sakura shook her head smiling and that was when the door opened and Sasori and Deidara walked in. The two artists were quick to notice Naruto have been found by both of his best friends and he seemed to be in one piece but he's gaping at Sakura along with Sasuke. Let's just say that made them very curious.
"What's going on, Sakura?" Sasori asked the pink-haired placing the five dollar box on the Uzumaki's lap who thanked him and found out what's so special about this little thing. He gave him a nod to acknowledge he heard but most of his attention was the only girl in the room.
Sasuke took one of the chips and dip it in the nacho cheese before eating it. Naruto only gave him one glance before he decided to share the box with his friend because he knows he made Sasuke miss dinner time earlier.
So together; they shared the box and was satisfied with the food. Taco Bell didn't fail this time and they were full enough to not eat whatever is left in the fridge in the room they share together. Naruto will still admit that Ichiraku is still better and Sasuke was okay with this craving big box.
All is good except for what Sakura confessed who seemed to be arguing with Sasori who irritated at her. So they tuned in and they will refuse to admit it was because of Deidara's smirk and a laugh from the long blonde haired.
"-So why don't you just mind your own damn business." Sakura finished quite proud of her speech and all she got was a glare from Sasori. The same cold chilling glare he gave her when she displeased him but this time; she will hold her ground. She will not back down.
After all; women have to be strong in order to survive!
So the pink-haired gave him her own glare and crossed her arms with her head up high. "You don't frighten me anymore, Sasori. I will not back down on my word." She said and out of the corner of her eye; she saw Sasuke frowned at their direction.
"That's a shame because one day; one of your little plans is going to make you regret it and I'm going to be there telling you I said so." He replied because he didn't want to hear this shit from her. Didn't want to know that he used to frighten her because he doesn't like it. He doesn't like the fact the Uchiha and she have a mutual thing for each other but she doesn't notice it.
The Uchiha thinks she moved on and jokes on him. She never has and never will. They're meant to be, after all. Why can't they just stop waiting and see that?
Sakura looked taken back for a second but she quickly masked her emotions (haha) and retorted softly that she won't regret it because it will work.
"Oh, really? Breaking in guy's room and stealing their underwear? What happens if one of them thought you want to have sex when they catch you in their room wearing that?" He gestured to her outfit and she frowned at him. "You don't know these guys in this dorms. There is a reason why Itachi and the others are the women's bodyguards. Wake up, Sakura."
Meanwhile; Deidara eyed Sakura eating his food waiting for what she says to that. Sasori is indeed right. There are rotten boys in the dorms. One of the reasons why he gets requested by women for him to walk with them when boys are present.
It happens too often to brush it off lightly.
"Before you say that you can take them on; that's what Tayuya said to us before she was fucking murdered, yeah." Deidara pitched in and Sakura stiffened at that. She was going to say that and she has forgotten about that girl who she befriended on her first year of University.
Tayuya may have cursed too much and was sometimes violent with Temari and Kin, but she was a good friend to have once you passed her cold detached front. Sakura remembered attending her funeral in tears with Temari's arm around her shoulder and Kin standing near her with a sad look on her face. She remembers seeing a tear slide down Kin's cheek when she placed a rose on Tayuya's coffin staring at the pale girl that they lost.
A young girl that was killed by a fragile man couldn't handle her rejection so he followed her to her dorm and slit her throat. He was caught by Shikamaru and Gaara who was going to visit her to see if she wants to join the party Ino was hosting. The man was taken care of by Gaara with Shikamaru calling the police.
She remembered crying herself so hard when she was with Ino and Deidara because they were following Shikamaru and Gaara that day. They witness Shikamaru carrying Tayuya's body in his arms and handling them to the medics who simply put her in a body bag while Gaara roughly pushed the man into the police and walked off to the three who was in shock.

"We need to have Tayuya here! She knows the greatest music and she can play song or two with her flute. So let's go get her, okay?" Sakura declared getting up from her seat and shouting; several people raised their glasses in the air in agreement. Sakura grinned and pointed to the crowd. "Who here wants to come with me to get the crazy music loving chick?" Ino, Shikamaru, Deidara, and Gaara (who was asked by his sister and Naruto) stood up and went with her.
"Be careful. It's night time, you five." Itachi warned them and they nodded before taking off to the dorms with Sakura skipping and laughing with Ino who a little tipsy already. Deidara was closed enough for if someone tries to do anything; he will harm them right away.
Gaara and Shikamaru were quite ahead of the group listening to the girl's laughter and they didn't honestly mind it. It was a nice night out with the moon shining bright and you could see some stars if you focus enough due to the city lights blocking them from view.
It was mid-summer that year when those five saw something they never wanted to see. A dear friend from middle school's cold and pale bloody with a jagged line across her neck with a cowering scared little fragile piss ant holding a Swiss army knife that was tainted with blood. Their friend's blood. He was screaming that she rejected him and he didn't like being rejected so much that he had to do it! Had to 'teach her a lesson!' He said while the police handcuffed and roughly put him in the police car.
No one said anything when Sakura dumped what she had for the party in the parking lot with Ino joining her not too soon. After that; Sakura and Ino got two jobs together. One to help at a local hospital where the head nurse & Hokage works at; Tsunade Senju.
A distant relative of Naruto, Nagato, and Karin Uzumaki. No one really knows how they are related but Karin once said there was a woman named Mito Uzumaki who married Tsunade's grandpa; Hashirama Senju.
When the five return to the party; Kin asked where the hell is Tayuya and that was Sakura started crying so hard she couldn't breathe properly for a moment. When Kin panicked a little; she went to comfort Sakura as best she could while Ino slowly walked up the steps of the stage and grabbed the mic from its stand.
"Everyone; the party's over. Please go back to the dorms and apartments. Please, and thank you." Ino said and she was about to call it when someone shouted what happened to Tayuya and Ino stop in her tracks staring at the crowd and a tear slide down her face. Mumbles and whispers were heard but the blonde girl didn't care.
So Deidara went up the stage and took the mic from his step sister and told everyone that a guy slits Tayuya's throat because she rejected him and he couldn't handle it. The mumbles and whispers stopped brutally as the DJ stopping his music.
Tense silence was around the party and no one knew how to respond or even think of that. No one at the party didn't think that was the case. Temari suddenly got up from her seat and walked numbly to Kin who was in shock holding Sakura's hands while Sakura tries to control her breathing.
So Ino told everyone that Sakura and her witness Shikamaru carrying Tayuya's lifeless body to the medics just to see them declaring her name and when she died before putting her in a body bag. Gaara was the one who pushed the man to the police.
After that horrible night; the news spread of the brutal murder of Tayuya and women started asking their male friends (or relatives) to walk with them whenever they went. The dating between a man and a woman slowly became something that was feared and women thinking if they were next.
It was Hell for the group because all of them attend Tayuya's funeral that month. That's right. Nearly the whole gang except for the three guys Tayuya used to hang with during middle school. Their bosses wouldn't let them leave 'at such a sudden notice.' The three guys quit their jobs after that.
The gang consist of Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, Gaara, Deidara, Itachi, Sasori, Konan, Nagato, Kisame, Zetsu, Tobi, Karin, Suigetsu, Juugo, Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Kiba, Temari, Kin, Shino, Chouji, Neji, TenTen, Lee, Kankuro, and Sai. Even the prison that kept Hidan and Kakuzu in gave these two permission to attend when Hidan told them that Tayuya was a distant relative of his family. They viewed each other as cousins.
Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai (and her daughter), Killer Bee, Might Guy, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Kabuto, Chiyo, Tsunade, Yamato, Ebizo attended the funeral as well. Most of them watched the girls almost break down when they saw their girlfriend in her castist. The guys kept their emotions a little better but the elders knew they felt sad about the loss of a friend.
Although all of the elders didn't find what Kin said as 'amusing' the group did. After all; who thinks "I'm going to miss this bitch, okay? You shouldn't have died so early in your life. It wasn't meant to be but fate has other plans. I just hope you resting in peace and that your murderer gets transferred to where Hidan and Kakuzu are at because that fucker needs to be someone's little prison bitch." She said grinning and most of the kids voiced their agreement.

Sakura snapped out of her musings when she felt Sasori's hand wiping a tear from her cheek and she felt her face heat up because the guys were staring at her with several degrees of sorrow. No one said anything when Sakura started to cry and Sasori slowly pushed her down next to Sasuke who simply held her by the waist and kept silence.
Tayuya died this year when she was only 22 years old. A brilliant girl where you pass her 'unladylike' personality that should be still alive rocking out with her music especially giving her friends a free show of her talent with her special flute.
"Fine. I won't do my plan anymore because these boys that aren't in our group kinda needs to be avoided until they prove they're alright." Sakura said and the boys were fine with that.
Oh; how she wished she didn't refuse Deidara's offer coming with her to her dorm that night. Because having herself forcing to talk with a guy who simply wouldn't leave her alone and when she tried to say bye; he grabbed her by the wrist and forced her to sit down with him at the bench.
She will happily confess that she's fucking nervous and wants to leave this guy's upsetting presence so badly. She wanted to call one of her guy's friends or even the police if the guy didn't take her phone from her and putting his phone, email, Skype, and hell is that his Facebook profile in her contacts without her permission.
"So. How long have you been here?" He asked her and he set the phone on the other side of him; the side where she has leaned over to get her phone back and she wants to scream because this can't be happening to her. But it is and she kept herself from making the same mistake what Tayuya made. Refusing a guy's offer to anything, and that includes answering his questions.
The young pink-haired girl felt like this was a dangerous game of twenty questions.
"About two years so far. How about you?" She asked and she cursed herself when he gave her a displeased look. "Ah baby; what did I tell about asking me questions?" He asked with a pitying look and she hoped he doesn't harm her.
"Not to ask them, dear." She replied professional and he smiled at her before he asked another questioned and she answered. The deadly question game went on until the sunrise was slowly appearing and she didn't want to cry because she has a feeling that this guy will not like that.
He was about to ask another when he was suddenly grabbed his collar from the behind of the bench and onto the cold dead grass and she didn't dare to turn around in case it was another guy; maybe his bro.
It wasn't and she cheered in her mind and said her thanks to one of the celestial beings that was looking out for her. So when she turned around once she heard that familiar voice; she finally teared up in happiness.
"Sasuke-kun, I am so glad to see you." She told him smiling and she meant it so much. She lean to get her phone and her handbag (the guy took it as soon she was forced to sit down) and kept them close. She will never ever take them for granted again; as long she lives.
"What are you doing with Sakura, idiot?" Sasuke questioned the guy but he shot Sakura a look that made her smile sadly. She now knows why Deidara and the other boys walk the ladies (people they know and strangers) to where they needed to be. She now knows why her mother used to carry weapons when she was out at night and still does.
She almost had the same fate as of her late friend, Tayuya. She knows from experience that the dark pink-haired will not like it when they see each other on the other side. So she was very thankful for Sasuke and… Deidara.
When did he come out of the dorm? She has no idea but she saw Deidara talking to the guy with a smile pretending to his friend and she grinned.
Ah, Dei. How she loves you so.
"-Yeah. Girls are amazing but wanna know what's not amazing?" Deidara suddenly asked and the guy looked at him smiling but his eyes show confusion and the blonde grinned.
With Sasuke watching (who was leaning against the bench close to Sakura); Deidara finally revealed why the hell is he giving this bastard his time.
"What's not amazing is when cunts like you think you're worth women's time but you know you're not so you fucking threaten them. Little boys like you can't stand rejection so you become ugly beasts. Aren't I right, cunt?" Deidara said grinning and the guy glared at him. The blonde step back when the guy tried to hit his face and Deidara's grin turned quite wild to say at least.
Deidara grabbed the guy's collar and punched his ugly face in with a laugh that Sakura wanted to leave the area because it's been years since the blonde has been in one of those happy moods he likes to call them. So instead she watched the scene before Sasuke grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the direction of his car.
"Sasuke-kun… I'm." Sakura stopped herself because he put her in his car before going inside afterward. Together; they sat in silence and Sasuke didn't even make a move to start the car. Instead, he turned to look at her with a furious look and the pink-haired shut her mouth.
"You're such a fucking idiot, you and Naruto. Do you two know that?" He said and Sakura only nodded her head. No disagreeing because she knows Sasuke will gesture the bench where she almost got murdered.
"Honestly. We're only twenty-one years old, and I'm going to get gray hairs because you and Naruto don't know when to quit your guys shit. What am I going to do with you two?" A rhetorical question so Sakura didn't bother answering. So Sasuke continued to rant and Sakura would be happy he's talking this long but he's ranting because of her 'reckless shit' and she reached to the point where she calmly placed her hand on his mouth to shut up. He grabbed her wrist and threw off his person.
He glared at her and she glared right back. "Okay. HONESTLY, I GET IT. Naruto and I will be the death of you one day. Just one little fucking suggestion; you don't have to be- our friend if we caused you so much stress. Y-You can leave. You did it once. You can do it again…" Sakura replied with fury laced in her voice and later; she's going to regret these words but she had it.
Oh. Harsh. He was taken back.
"We shouldn't- we fucking agree not to mention that I left for some time to Sound, Sakura." He said and she huffed at him. He gave her annoyed look in response. "O-Oh yeah! You fucking told us when Naruto almost got beaten up by those Sound guys! And not to mention; you only came back because your fucking girlfriend asks you to because Naruto is her cousin. You didn't want to come back when I almost got a concussion with that Zaku guy. It was fucking Karin." She said because who said she can't be a little furious with Karin? They weren't friends. She was friends with Hinata and Ino, not her.
"You don't care about me or Naruto. You only care about those fuckers you met in Sound. So you can go fuck yourself." She shouted tearing up before getting out the car and slamming it shut. Sasuke looked horrible taken back and he watched her raced to her dorms. Once she went inside as little he could see from that distance; he took that time to grunt in frustration.
It wasn't that long when his door was suddenly open and he was roughly grabbed by his collar and out of the ground. His stomach was kicked and he huffed because he was caught off guard and he glared up at the person. Sasori glared at him right back.
"The fuck's your problem, Akasuna?" He said getting back up just to get knock down by the red-haired again. He raised a fist and aim at Sasori if he didn't dodge it and he suddenly remembered.
Sasori was nearly strong as Itachi. Two of the strongest members. He barely manages to beat Deidara that one time where he had with the blonde's accusations that day. The blonde with bloody teeth and a split lip told him with a happy laugh that whatever drugs he got from Orochimaru barely got him to win with him; he's in deep shit if he gets in a fight with Sasori or his brother.
The blonde said those two are stronger than me and Sasuke forgot.
"Ah, how remarkable. You almost had her but you just had to ruin it. Opening your fucking mouth and telling her those things? She was recording you and I had to fucking listen. Because she had to show me why she has to move on from you. You're even worse than me, Uchiha." Sasori told him smiling and Sasuke's eye widen in shock.
"Why the fuck…" He couldn't find any words and Sasori, that fucking piece of shit, looked like he was happy about this development. Why would he be? Sasuke means nothing to him and he can tell Akasuna loves finding blackmail on people. Have him dangle the information in front of the person's face and watch their life crumble to his will.
Considering the stories Kabuto used to tell him those years ago on how horrible Sasori was-still is- he should have seen this coming. After when you didn't know how to use your heart or emotions until a pink-haired girl comes in your life and made it interesting; you don't know what to do with the girl.
Maybe that's why he's keeping Sakura around. She's there to show him how to be a fucking human again. Sasuke has to give Sasori credit for that. He couldn't choose just anyone to show him humanity. It had to be one that has the most humanity to them.
"I don't want her to fucking move on… And where the fuck does she get the idea that Karin is my girlfriend? I left because my mother didn't want me near Orochimaru. Karin had nothing to do with it." Sasuke said to the ground and Sasori, interested, crouch down to see him better.
"You mean the mother that was killed not too soon afterward?" Sasori asked and he watched Sasuke stiffened before giving him such a cold glare that the red-haired smirked. Oh, soft spot but he would given the same reaction if they talked down about his mother as little she was in his life.
"How the fuck did you find out?" Sasuke asked glaring and Sasori raised a brow at him. Really? Does he really have to tell Sasuke about this?
"Akatsuki has eyes and ears everywhere, Uchiha. We knew about your mother's death because that was when we saw Itachi truly angry with you and Orochimaru. You just can't fuckin listen, huh? It's gotta be you or Uzumaki that Orochimaru wants to sneak his ugly teeth in. Sakura, on another hand, is someone he wants to go. Wants to dispose of her like he did with your mother. "
Sasuke looked so taken back that Sasori almost pity him. Almost is the key word.
"He was the one that killed my mother…?" Sasuke said because he doesn't want to think of the world where Sakura dies before him. He won't be able to handle it…
"Mhmm. It's a shocker that you didn't think of that. Sakura guessed he was the one that was behind Mikoto's death as soon she heard it. Such a smart girl that one is." Sasori said softly but there was nothing soft in his eyes or his look.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at him. "You better fucking leave Sakura alone. I don't want you near her anymore." He watched Sasori let out a laugh and he was uncomfortable. He never heard Akasuna laugh before.
"How fortunate. Sakura is the one that decides if she wants me out of her life or not. Not you. You think you can just come back to her life and have her follow you without any complaints? When are you or Uzumaki going to realize she changed?"
And with that Sasori left while Sasuke pondered his words with a frown. Akasuna no Sasori knows so much about everyone and especially Sakura Haruno while he barely knows anything.
This is just the beginning and Sasuke knows things are going to be wild starting now.
To be continued...

Why did you cut it off like that? It would have continued forever and I had other fics to do. Besides I just realized near the end of this not one shot anymore; it's going to turn into another story and I want to cry.
Is this a love triangle? God, I hope not.
Who is Sakura going to end up with? Sasori or Sasuke? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This seems dark, Bri. Is it going to be dark? Probably.
Until next time, everyone. Goodbye~!
