Boxers

The weather was very gloomy and it had been threatening to rain all day. The sun was barely visible through the darkened clouds. Sakura was driving her gold Honda Accord to her boyfriend's house for lunch. She had been a nervous wreck all week after he had suggested she meet his family. Sakura could not understand why he arranged this meeting, she wouldn't let him anywhere near her crazy family. She smiled when she remembered how her boyfriend convinced her to attend the luncheon at his house. Spoiled rich brat!

Sakura stepped on the brake when the traffic lights changed from yellow to red. Her fingers started to drum the steering wheel impatiently with her fingers when the phone in her jean pocket vibrated once. Being a safety freak, Sakura's pet peeve was not to answer or text with her phone while driving. Her phone buzzed again and again and again for the fourth time. The irregular buzzing told her they were text messages. Since the light was still red she decided to take a peak at who was sending her messages.

A frown appeared on her face when she saw who sent the messages and the frown deepened even more when she saw the messages.

- at the intersection of Ahiru ln and Hana St

-Pick

-Me

-Up!

She stuffed her phone back in her pocket when the lights turned green. The bastard knew today was important and he was still being a bastard. How he had become her best friend she has no idea. Sakura knows that her best friend does not like her boyfriend. Her best friend is always irked by her boyfriend's arrogant façade and his tendency to answer in monosyllabic words. The audacity of her friend to have such an opinion. She had comes to terms with their superiority complexes long ago. They are who they are and her best friend is an idiot.

It is his own damn fault for the demise of his car, he had to be an idiot and drove while drunk. He is a moron to the nth degree, who on their right mind drives after being intoxicated. Of course technically speaking he was drunk and not in his right mind. Well he is suffering for his poor choices by having to depend on others for a ride. His parents refused to get him another car. And what is vexing her right now is the fact that he believes she will be his personal chauffer. She decided to ignore his texts and that he has other friends he can bother. Spoiled rich brat!

Sakura made a right turn into an affluent neighborhood, which housed Konoha's wealthiest residents. She stopped her car when she saw the Uchiha house. All she had to do was take a left turn from there and she will be at her destination. So why does she feel conflicted?

Just when she was about to take her foot of the brake Sakura saw a flash of lightening followed later by thunderclaps. She groaned loudly as she took out her phone and called the second number on her speed dial.

"Hello"

"Hey, you at your parent's house?"

"Yes"

Sakura then used her pleading voice to ask "Would it be alright if I am like forty minutes late to lunch? Something came up."

"Why are going to be late?"

"…um…"

"Is it him?"

She wasn't surprised why her boyfriend would come to this conclusion but it hurt when he spoke to her so accusingly. It seemed as though he took Sakura's hesitancy to answer as a yes.

"This is ridiculous didn't you tell that moron that you have plans"

"He wouldn't ask me if there was anyone else that could give him a ride"

"Yes he would, I can't believe you don't see what he is trying to do Sakura. He is obviously jealous of us" He said testily "I mean why else would he go out of his way to make us miserable"

Sakura was getting irritated with the conversation "Listen its just a lunch, the more we argue over the phone the later I am going to be"

"Just a lunch? If that's how you feel then you needn't bother showing up"

"Don't be such an ass"

"I am the ass, I believe your best friend gets that title"

"Just tell your parents I'll be a little late and that I am terribly sorry"

"Hn"

"Listen I really am sorry and its going to pour soon"

"Maybe you need to enlighten your friend about public transportation"

"Okay bye now"

"I really meant it Sakura, don't show up. My parents are very punctual people, they don't tolerate tardiness." He said with no anger in his voice.

"Wouldn't it be worse if I don't show up?"

"I'll make up a story, I will see you tomorrow in school okay bye"

Sakura sighed as she put her phone back into her pocket. What the hell did she just do? She looked at the Uchiha house again and cursed under her breath.

The intersection was at a small residential area near where Sakura lives. She spotted a pathetic looking figure by the stop sign of the intersection and as she drove closer to the sign she noticed that her best friend was wearing nothing but boxers. When she finally stopped Sakura could see the damnable smirk that seemed to be always fixated on the face of Uchiha Sasuke.

"Took you long enough"

She rolled her eyes as she pulled the lever that opens her trunk. Sasuke went behind her car to rummage through her trunk to find his clothes. He pulled out a grey shirt with the Uchiha crest on it and a pair of black sweatpants. When he finally seated himself comfortably in Sakura's car he said innocently "Thought you were going to let me drown during the storm"

"So did I." Rolling her eyes again she asked "So when did you lose your clothes? Was is it the same time you lost your dignity?"

"Hn"

"You are a bastard you know that"

"Hn"

"You are such an ass. Why would you choose to be a such an ass on this day of all days?"

"Sakura" he said slowly in his baritone voice "Do you really think I purposely discarded my clothes and decided to wait for you in my boxers in this God awful weather?"

"Lord knows what goes on in that big head of yours. I am totally screwed he told me not to show up for lunch"

Sasuke smirked and said, "You mean you didn't know that the Hyugaas are very punctual people?"

Sakura glared at him, he can be really infuriating at times. She really wished she could have just let the bastard stand at the intersection all day.

She arrived at the Uchiha residence once again and sighed for the umpteenth time that day. As she saw the Hyugaa's house behind the Uchihas and she actually felt relieved that she didn't have to meet Neji's parents.

Sasuke got out of the gold Honda and looked back inside. "Do you want to have lunch"

"Why not you owe me anyways"

After she parked her car properly, she fast walked to catch up with Sasuke as he headed to the front door. From behind she noticed his sweatpants slipping to reveal part of his boxers.

"Cute boxers by the way, do all of yours have the tomatoes on it?"

"Hn"

Sakura could only smile as the bastard's ears turned red.

So how exactly did Sasuke lose his clothes? All in good time...
