Secret Life of the Konoha Teenager Chapter 1
"Mom I'm leaving now!" A spunky young teen shouted, tying up her long pink locks, ending the nearly three hours of early morning preparation she'd put in for the first day of school. She headed out the door, not waiting for a response.
"Okay honey! Good luck today Sakura!" Her mother called out desperately. The green eyed young woman rolled her eyes, what an annoying goody two shoes. Sakura didn't have much respect for either of her parents, though she loved them. They were lenient parents, and she got away with a lot. Her family was well off, and she definitely lived a sheltered life, but it didn't stop her from craving something more. A little danger perhaps, a nice adrenaline rush every now and then, that's not too much to ask for, right?
"Hey Sakura!" Said a perky blond, skipping down the steps of a similar, nearby house. "Are you ready for today?" She said in a giddy tone. She always had a girly sense of style, and it matched her too well.
"Oh Ino, I'm always ready." Sakura said in an assured tone. "And this year, I am going to date THE Sasuke Uchiha."
"You freakin' wish, billboard brow. If anyone is going to date an Uchiha it's going to be me." Ino said in a scoffing tone.
They continued bickering back and forth like this the entire walk to school. Ino and Sakura were friends since grade school, and popular girls, but no one was popular the way the Uchiha brothers were.
The girls exchanged excited glances before gaining their composure and walking into the school together, with a cooler than ice stride that stopped many students dead in their tracks.
Already they were catching intrigued glances from boys, and even a few girls.
"Hey ladies, lookin' good!" Said a perky blonde, this was Naruto, his blue eyes definitely sparkled more than last year, and it looked as though he'd grown out of his quirky childish ways. He was built and wore a black T, an orange jacket, and necklace hung with thin chain wiring and a blue crystal at the end.
"Hey Naruto!" Ino and Sakura chimed, giving him a wink, quickly drawing their attention to his best friend, who like always, simply gave them both an intense stare. It was of course, none other than the Sasuke Uchiha.
Sasuke had on a grey V-neck, that slightly showed his softly chiseled chest, wrist bands, and a single earring. His eyes had grown darker over the years, and his face was still as pale and handsome as ever. Unfortunately, he was still as stand-offish as ever, and was a complete mystery to everyone, which of course made girls crazy for him.
Sasuke's deep eyes locked on with Sakura's green ones just before giving her a very apparent once over. "Hey, Sakura." They slowly began walking away, while Ino and Sakura shared a beaming giddy stare with one another, trying with all their might not to scream like the fangirls they clearly were.
"Sakura, psst..coming this way. Tall, dark, and not so…handsome? Uh…woah." She giggled, as a pair of boys approached. Much to her surprise, they were handsome indeed.
"Hey Sakura." Said a young man in light but husky tone, as Sakura turned to see deep brown eyes, encircled by dark eyelashes, almost looking like eye liner or mascera was on them. Wait, this can't be… This wasn't how she remembered him at all, though he did leave for year, or was it more?
"Hey Lee." Sakura said, masterfully masking her inner thoughts with a mellow tone. He got seriously hot, what a transformation! He wore a dark green tank top with a black jean jacket. Behind him was another familiar face, Neji Hyuuga, who was easily one of the more popular boys in school.
"Hey, why the hell are you getting all the attention!" Ino whined. Ino was easily one of the more popular girls in her grade, with many eyeing her, but a good number of boys had confessed their love for Sakura a few years ago, Lee being the most avid of them all.
"Well well, look who it is?" Ino smirked, as she and Sakura made finally entered their classroom for the year. A small group of familiar boys greeted them.
"Sup' Ino," Said Shikamaru, long hair pulled back, slumped back in his seat smirking up at Ino. They had already dated for a while, but it had fallen apart, and they decided they were just better friends. Shikamaru had a devious handsome look to him, and was beyond too cool for everything in life. He had been good to her, but it was apparent he wasn't relationship material. Ino was too wild for him anyways. If Ino hadn't told Sakura that he got straight A's and A+'s, she would have assumed his lack of interest in everything would have gotten him geld back a year.
"Hey Shika!" She said teasingly, leaning over his desk, messing with the neatly arranged things on his desk. Shikamaru, obviously enjoying the little display, was muttering something about troublesome women under his breath.
Around the corner came Kiba Inuzuka, who wore a fur hooded jacket, tight pants, and a hemp necklace with a fang at the end. "Hey there, Sakura." He said with a wink, examining the pink haired girl, but quickly shifting his gaze to Ino, giving her a flirty hello, and then eventually doing the same to every girl in the room, and even a few guys. Even though Kiba was not the most popular, his androgynous look and naturally flirtatious nature with everything that moved earned him an attractive reputation with both males and females.
The first warning bell buzzed, and students began shuffling around, finding their desired seats, as the class began to fill. A larger kid, Chouji, clumsily thumbed into the room. He was Shikamaru's best friend, for whatever reason, and also the reason Shikamaru wasn't popular on the level of someone like Sasuke's. An even clumsier pair walked in soon after, Hinata, a horribly nervous and bumbling girl whose head was down nearly all the time. She was followed by Shino, an even weirder guy who wore dark prescription glasses, and hooded his face from everyone. They hung out together, and people just assuming they were an item. When they were in grade school, they were both best friends with Kiba, who seemed to become very distant with them as he became popular. Another weird kid, Sai, a poor tongued art student who got away with saying stupid shit to pretty much everyone simply because he didn't really care. It helped that he was pretty good looking. Finally, Naruto came rushing into the classroom just as the first period bell rung, cooly taking the nearest desk to the door.
"Is that everyone?" Sakura inquired, curious and sad to why Sasuke wasn't present.
"Hey, don't forget about the Akatsuki! They are the it seniors here, and you know how much I love seniors, hehe..." Ino gave Sakura dirty, and started laughing. The Akatsuki was a self-formed school club, made up of the most gorgeous and popular students in the school, most of whom had gained positions in the student council, further swaying their influence in social matters.
"Oh yea, can't believe we haven't seen them yet!" She said, "Maybe, they are planning something?"
"Yea, like, planning to sweep me off my feet! All of them, realizing they are madly in love with me!" Ino's dazzling orbs blinked as the teacher came in, slamming the door shut behind him,well after class was already supposed to start.
"Damn senior...SBO..." Kakashi-sensei muttered under his breath, clearing the white board, his babbling barely audible. "Ughh...Alright class lets get started, we only have about ten minutes for introductions, and then there is going to be an assembly. So lets hurry it-"
*Creak* The loud squeaky door opened as a stunning figure slowly entered the classroom.
"Oh hello" Kakashi cleared his throat. "Um, your late, but that's fine… " Kakashi said, only because he himself had also been late. The young male student was looking down at the ground, but slowly lifted his gaze to lock eyes with Sakura. The contact was intense, making her blush furiously. He had gorgeous red hair, and light teal eyes. He even had eyeliner on, and a seriously intense aura that sent chills up Sakura's spine as he drew ever closer to her. Then just like that, he dropped his shoulder bag by her desk, and lazily sat in the seat in front of her.
She took a deep breath, what the hell was that? Did I just freakin' fall for him? No no...thats ridiculous. Just breath Sakura...
"Man another hotty, can you believe our luck!" Ino said, whispering in her ear.
"Well kids, why don't we all get to know each other? Ino, you seem to like to talk, why not start us off?" The class let out a hushed laugh, but Ino was by no means shy.
"Anything for you, Kakashi-sensei!" She said in an obscenely flirty tone, though Kakashi didn't seem to bend to the wily ways of a hormone ridden teen so easily. The introductions went by quickly. All students were required to be apart of a club, and many clubs were associated with social cliques in the school. So for students like Ino in the fashion club, or students like Kiba and Naruto in various sports clubs, announcing such things was done so with no small amount of pride. Hinata, easily the quietest and clumsiest girl Sakura had ever met, stuttered nervously when it was her turn. Eventually she just shook her head and sat down, having not really said anything in the end. What a freak. Following in suit, Shino also refused to say anything, gaining a shy grin of solidarity from Hinata. Sakura couldn't help notice Kiba muttering as he refused to look over at the pair. She quickly brushed them off, listening to Naruto's loud and ego driven introduction. He wasn't half bad though, very good looking, and something about him garnered respect from everyone, despite what an utter goof he was.
"Okay, last one! Gaara, you're up." After a few moments went by, Kakashi realized he wasn't saying anything. "Gaara?"
The red haired boy slowly shifted, standing up and out of his seat, facing away from the classroom. Something about him gave Sakura a terrified chill, but he was insatiably intriguing. What is it about him… I'm so drawn to him! She was really curious now to hear what he had to say.
But suddenly.
*BEEP* "Attention all students, please report to the auditorium for a special welcoming assembly from your beloved Student Council members! Thank you all!" *BEEP*
The class quickly got up and poured out the door, as Ino dragged Sakura out the door, she barely caught his eyes before being swallowed up by the crowd.
"Come on Sakura, we have to get good seats!" She said, practically running now to the auditorium. Naruto had somehow made it there way before them, and waved them over to some of the best seats in the large room.
"Hey Sakura," He said cooly, giving me a curious expression, his blue eyes darkened by the dimly lit theater.
Sakura accidentally dismissed him when the grief of Sasuke not being with him begged a question. "Hey shouldn't Sasuke be with you?" Naruto brushed it off, already used to ladies overlooking him for his dark haired friend. Especially Sakura…
"Hehe, I have a feeling we'll be seeing Sasuke soon." Naruto down up at the stage as the lights dimmed, Sakura looked over at Ino, who was now seated a few spaces down, next to one very captivated Neji Hyuuga. Even he couldn't refuse her advances, as she played with his long silky hair, giggling and smirking at him seductively.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" Every student quickly turned their attention to the empty stage. "As your Student Council president, it is my pleasure to introduce to you this years Student Body Officers for this year at Konoha High! But first, I'll introduce myself. My name is Yahiko, and I'm a senior here at Konoha High. I am also the leader of the Akatsuki group, and I will be your host this morning as we welcome the student body officers, as elected by all of you last year." A loud applause echoed through the auditorium.
Yahiko was definitely the leader type, he had bright red hair, a few piercing, a bad boy look but with a charming and clever personality. A booming voice, and excellent people skills. An obvious choice to represent the students, since he'd been Student Body President for nearly all three years he'd been at Konoha High. Many girls had tried to confess to the socialite king, but he was the long-time dedicated boyfriend to the fashion queen of the school, the blue haired beauty, Konan.
"Now let me introduce you to the rest of the SBO team, lets start with Deidara, come on out!" Another loud applause erupted.
"Hey un, I'm Deidara, and I'm a Co-captain of the 3-D Art division, and the new swim team coach."
"Hey you hear that Sakura, you get to work with one of the Akatsuki!" Sakura simply laughed at her and nodded, shit, I totally forgot I joined the swim team!
"I'm Sasori, and I'm the other Co-captain of the 3-D art division, and I'm in the Drama Club."
"I'm Konan! I run the Fashion Club."
"I'm Hidan, and I fucking love all of you!" A huge applause erupted amongst the girls in the audience. Hidan being the biggest party boy, was also the biggest ladies man, who seemed to masterfully make any girl blush with a wink of his bright light brown eyes.
"Hmm yes, thank you Hidan..." Yahiko said, rubbing his forehead a little, then turning back to the crowd, most of them hanging of off their seats in anticipation. "And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! Let me introduce, your class presidents!" Another loud applause erupted.
This moment was dire, as no one but those who had run for the positions knew what the result were.
"Starting with the Sophmores! Your Class President for this year is," The entire auditorium fell silent, "Sasuke Uchiha!"
The room had a wave like reaction, and all the sophmores stood up, including Naruto, Ino, and myself.
Sasuke came out from a small concealed hallway on the stage, and waved at the screaming crowd before stepping neatly in line with the rest of the council.
"AH!" Ino squealed, "Thats the most I've ever heard Sasuke say, how cool!"
"Next up, for all you lovely juniors, your class president is," anticipation filled the room, "Rock Lee!" The room exploded again in applause, all the Juniors got up and stomped their feet as Lee stepped out onto the stage, including Neji and many other Juniors around us as Lee ran out onto the stage enthusiastically.
"Hey, I'm Rock Lee, I'm the Soccer team coach, and I'm a student teacher assistant in all gym classes. I'm honored to serve Juniors as your class president." Lee bowed and gave a wink and smile to the crowd.
"Lastly, your senior class president," Yahiko said dramatically, "Are you guys ready for this?" He asked, raising his arms as all the students applauded louder as his arms raised higher.
"Alright, here he is, the one and only," the crowd grew silent, "Itachi Uchiha!" Sakura had to cover her ears, as the crowd was deafening, and not just the seniors stood up, but the entire auditorium.
"Thank you everyone, I'm Itachi Uchiha, I'm the captain of the Sports team, and the head of the academics division. I look forward to serving the seniors as well as the whole school as senior class president. Thank you Konoha High!" Again the auditorium erupted, as Yahiko took back the microphone.
"Don't forget to check the club listings, everyone please sign up for something, don't be shy!
The students piled out of the auditorium, heading back to class, and before long, the lunch bell had rung.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
TO BE CONTINUED…
CHAPTER 2
Chapter 2
"Hey Ino, lets sit over there!" Sakura said, motioning to a table consisting of Konan, Sasuke, and Naruto. Before Sakura could finish, Ino had skipped away to sit down, nothing more than an apple on her plate, raisins and OJ on mine.
Naruto said hi to both Ino and her, while Sasuke merely gave a casual nod.
"Hi!" Ino said melodically, sitting across from Konan.
"You are...Ino right?" Konan had a very womanly voice, and she herself was very mature in appearance. She wore a tight blue sweater at elbow length, black jeans, and her hair up in its usual bun with a lovely paper hair piece.
"Oh my god, yes!" Ino squealed, "Uh I mean, heh, yes that's me!" probably just excited that someone as popular as Konan actually knew her name.
The two of them hit it off, as Ino poured her fashion ideas onto a professional and well versed Konan, who politely ignored what a ditz Ino could be when enamored in her fashonista idealism.
"Hey guys wuz up?!" Said a shrill male voice. Sakura looked over and see a tall silver headed man, followed by a red haired boy, and a smirking blond.
"Hey fellas." Naruto said, as Hidan, Sasori, and Deidara seated themselves.
"Ooooo! Whose the fresh meat?" Hidan questioned, eyeing Sakura and Ino.
"Hey leave em alone Hidan." Konan said defensively.
"Hey hey now, I'm just wondering, you know how much I love sophomores, or soft mores as I like 'em. Hehe right boys?" He jabbed Sasori in the stomach, who whacked him across the forehead, as Deidara burst out in laughter.
"I'm so sorry ladies, he's not all that bad I promise." Said another handsome voice, taking a seat next to Konan.
"Oh hi sweetie, this is Ino and..."
"Sakura" She said with a typical cutie pie smile. Yahiko couldn't help but give her a smile, as did Konan.
"Nice to meet you both." He said, charmingly nodding to both of them.
Konan and Ino continued talking between themselves, as Yahiko directed his attention to Sakura. "So, Sakura, are you in a club yet?"
"Yes, I'm on the swim team!" She said in a bubbly tone. Yahiko was quite handsome, and underneath the few piercings he had, his face was soft and sweet. His personality seemed to be similar. He seemed so outgoing during the assembly, but currently he was calm, soft spoken, and surprisingly approachable.
"Really? Than you'll be working with Deidara, be careful though," He whispered, "He's a dangerous ladies man."
"What?! I am a gentleman!" Deidara whined. "Don't worry Sakura, you'll be safe with me!" He said giving her a reassuring wink. She smiled at him, he had deep blue eyes, and a very playful and flirty nature. It was then that she realized she and Ino were sitting with the most popular students in the entire school, the Akatsuki, Naruto, and…
Oh yea, Sasuke...she looked over at Sasuke, who seemed to be looking straight at her, but when their eyes connected and stayed there for a few awkward seconds, he looked away, head resting on his crossed hands.
"Hey guys, I have an announcement to make." Yahiko rose up, mostly speaking to the the table, but many students were watching the attractive group. "I would like to make the announcement that the Akatsuki has added a new official member!" Suddenly the room erupted in chaotic whispers. "This new member is of course," Yahiko was always so good with dramatic pauses. "Sasuke! Wooh!" And with that Yahiko sat down, as a few people clapped, some gave cheers, others continued whispering.
"Hey congrats Sasuke!" Deidara said, leaning over to pat Sasuke on the back.
"Yea, you can freely attend all of my sick parties!" Hidan said, as if Sasuke had just gotten a golden ticket, graciously given by Hidan.
"You invite anyone and any thing to those anyway. Welcome Sasuke." Sasori said.
"Thanks guys." Sasuke said bluntly, giving a tiny smile.
"Hey, so now that you're an official member, we should throw you your own party!" Hidan said. "Why don't we have one this weekend?"
"You idiot.." Sasori said dully, "You were already having a party this weekend, and it wasn't for Sasuke!"
"Yea that's pretty lame sempai." Deidara chimed, "Oh well we'll just have to take over your party in Sasuke's name, right Sasuke?"
Sasuke seemed entirely indifferent, his gaze continuously being caught in Sakura's direction.
"Oh hell no, not again.." Hidan said threateningly. "No fucking way, not after last time..."
What ever happened last time had Deidara cracking up, even Sasori let out a few laughs.
Before anyone could ask, the bell had rung and they all headed their separate ways.
The last class of the day, Gym, had finally arrived, and Lee beamed as he walked in to see that Sakura was in his class. Sakura caught him looking at her all throughout the class, and couldn't help but blush as the star athlete of the Juinor Class clearly still had eyes for her. Lee had liked her ever since she could remember knowing him, but it was a long time before he rose to popularity. He was always himself though, and it was something she was slowly beginning to admire.
Little did she realize, a certain raven haired Sophomore also had eyes for her, and jealously watched Lee's captivation with Sakura throughout the entire hour long class.
"Alright all you youthful smiling faces!" Gai sensei said to the dull group. "I want everyone to introduce themselves, Name, age, and something you like! Let's do this!"
Gai sensei of course started off by telling everyone more than anyone needed to know about himself.
The class enthusiastically gave their name, age, and random interests, all except for Sasuke who gave his name, and shrugged off the rest, earning him a friendly punch to the shoulder by one very chipper blonde.
"And lastly, Hinata!" Gai said, calling the last student.
Most of the students didn't even realize she was there, sulking in the back of the gym, messy cropped dark hair and long bangs that covered her eyes when she slouched. She shook her head softly, quietly begging to not be asked to speak out.
"Hinata, come on now, just 3 simple things." Gai sensei said, encouraging her to speak.
"I...uh umm..." Hinata seemed to be on the verge of tears. The silence was kind of annoying, this girl really started to bother Sakura, and some of the other students with her awkwardness.
"I-I'm...H-hinata...and I'm uh, 15...and..."
"Something you like?" Gai said, the whole room became un-comfortable.
"I-i...umm" Hinata couldn't hold back the tears brimming in her eyes, as they softly slid across her cheeks.
"Hey hey, Gai-sensei! I want to go again!" Naruto yelled, interrupting her, "I know I already said I like ramen, but you guys don't even know what KIND I like! You know, there's like, so many different kinds of-" Naruto continued, as Hinata looked up at him, shocked that he had saved her from her fear of speaking out. The class started to laugh at him as he rambled on, already forgetting that Hinata had started crying. Sakura began to feel bad for her, but more than anything was surprised that Naruto would help her out like that.
Eventually, Naruto was cut off by the final bell, but not before making himself look pretty ridiculous. The first one out the door was Hinata, who was now trying to wipe away her tears, clumsily stumbling out the door.
Sakura slowly headed to the door after gathering her things, Sasuke caught up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Follow me." he said, his gorgeous asphalt enrapturing her.
A chipper voice chimed in "Hey Sakura, can I ask you something?" Lee said suddenly, as Sakura turned around. Sasuke stopped, looking very annoyed.
"Oh, sure Lee." Sakura said, sensing Sasuke's annoyance. Is Sasuke jealous?
"Well, Hidan is having this party, I hear it is going to be really intense!"
"Yea I heard about it, sounds like, really awesome!" Sakura giggled.
"So I was wondering-" Lee walked a little closer to me.
"Sakura we gotta go." Sasuke said leaning on the door, looking bored and annoyed.
Lee was the annoyed one now, seeing Sasuke giving him a glare out of the corner of his eye. "Like I was saying, I was wondering if-"
"Sorry, Lee." Sasuke said in a sarcastic tone, slowly walking up to Lee until he was standing face to face with him. "Sakura has somewhere to be right now." Lee was intimidated, as anyone would be when threatened by the Sasuke Uchiha, but he held his ground, glaring right back at him.
For a moment, Sakura felt afraid, wondering what would happen if they actually fought. But Sasuke backed away, walking towards the hall. "Sorry, Lee, we'll talk later?" Sakura said with a smile, like nothing had happened
"Thats fine, I'll talk to you later!" Lee smiled at her, then glared at Sasuke as Sakura followed him into the hall.
"S-Sasuke, you okay?"
Sakura followed him out of some door, not really noticing where they had gone. It seemed that he had led them outside, but there was no one around. Suddenly, Sasuke pushed her up against the wall, catching her completely by surprised as she gasped, his onix eyes staring into her emerald orbs. One strong arm cornered her against the wall, while other hovered by her waist.
"You don't actually like him do you?" He said in a confusing tone. Is he angry? Or is he just messing around?
"Maybe I do. Why do you care?" Sakura asked, teasingly, hoping he wasn't in fact angry.
"More than me?" He asked in more soft tone, inching ever closer to her soft, flushed face. She felt a hand slowly move up her shoulder.
"...No." She said, barely able to comprehend the position she was in. This type of situation, most girls would kill for, to be this close to heart throb Uchiha.
"Good." Sasuke said in a triumphant tone. His lips moving quickly against hers, the soft kiss quickly transformed into a rough passionate one. Sakura couldn't tell if she was the luckiest girl in school, because for some reason, she didn't feel good about what was happening. The kiss was deep, and the strong hands now gripping her shoulder and face made her body tingle, but something inside her felt sick.
Suddenly someone appeared out of the door they had come through, a familiar purple haired girl with tears in her eyes.
"Oh god I'm so sorry!" Said Hinata, who was blushing madly, she tried to go back in through the door, but it had locked, and she began to cry. Sasuke simply rolled his eyes, looking back at Sakura, as the girl ran away, face buried in her hands. Sakura felt kind of bad for her, as she watched her run away from the scene, around the side of the building.
"What a freak..." Sasuke said, moving in to kiss Sakura once more. Sakura continued to let him kiss her, and tried to play it cool, but the more it went on, the more she realized she wasn't really feeling it.
"So," Sasuke said, pulling out of the kiss, "You're going to be my date, to Hidan's party." Sasuke said in a prideful tone, obviously pleased with himself. "Okay?"
"O-Okay! Yea, I'd love that!" Sakura said, genuinely happy, but also conflicted. He didn't even ask my permission?
"Hey can we keep this a secret?" He said, giving her a wink, and she looked a little confused. "Just until the party, okay?"
"Ha, yea okay!" She said giving him her signature sugar sweet smile. "Seeya tomorrow!" she said, watching Sasuke walk away from her. She stood there for a moment, stunned, until going off to look for Ino.
"Hey Sakura, what took ya so long? You're blushing, you okay?" She said inquisitively.
"Oh Ino, we need to have some serious girl talk. Wait-What's that on your neck?" Sakura noticed a very obvious hicky on Ino's collarbone, and a strong cologne scent coming from her. "And why do you smell like..."
"Hyuuga?" She said instantly, when few seconds passed and she realized what she said she blushed fiercely. "Uh I mean...we certainly have a few things to talk about now don't we hehe...you go first!"
CHAPTER 3
Chapter 3
"Oh my god! It's happened!" Ino said with a loud squeal, with an incredibly dumbfounded look.
"Well jeez, Ino, thanks for having faith in me." Sakura said, plugging one of her ears, apparently the news of her and Sasuke now dating was quite a shock.
"No no not that…Forget you and Sasuke! Neji totally just asked me out! To Hidan's party!" Ino said.
"Cool! Then we can go together!" Sakura said cheerfully.
"Yea! We'll be the most envied girls, especially you! You already have an in with the Akatsuki! Lucky..." Ino said sticking her tounge out.
"Hey but look at you, Neji is totally popular!"
"Well yea but…who...oh my god. Is that really..?" Ino stopped, as a gorgeous dark haired figure approached her from a ways away. "Quick quick what do we do, he's coming towards us!"
"Just calm down Ino be cool, pull out your phone or something!" Sakura said cooly, Ino calmly pulled out her phone, and smirked at it, hoping it would appear that someone very important was texting her.
"Hey, your Ino right?" Itachi said when he finally reached the girls, nodding a hello at Sakura before turning his attention to Ino.
"Yea?" Ino said cooly, smiling up at Itachi, masterfully using the suns reflection to highlight the best parts of her face.
"I'm Itachi, I was talking to Konan about you earlier."
"Yea I know who you are, haha everyone does." Ino said smirking, trying really really hard to play it cool and keep her heart from beating out of her chest.
"Well it seems a lot of people know you too." Itachi said, slowing moving closer to Ino. "I've seen you a few times around." Itachi was pretty close now to Ino, as he played with a strand of her hair. "So I was wondering, about Hidan's party this weekend" Itachi took Ino's hand, making eye contact with her. "Would you go with me as my date?"
Ino stood there dumbfounded, as possibly the most popular guy in school, the most attractive, and the mest desired by all females, stood before her, asking her on a date. On a date. On a god damn date! Sakura looked over at Ino, who was standing there like a space cadet, lost in Itachi's deep dark orbs. Ino was brought back to reality as Sakura nudged her.
"Oh..! Y-yea totally! I w-would love to! Uh go, with you!" Ino said, tripping over her words, but Itachi just smiled and laughed, giving a charming bow, and placing a soft kiss on Ino's hand.
"It'll be my honor. I got your number from Konan, text you later?" He said, giving a handsome smile and nod as he walked away.
"Y-yea, heh." Ino was speechless, watching him disappear into the mess of cars, a completely glazed look over her face.
"Ino...snap out of it!" Sakura said, as the dumbfounded blonde turned to her slowly and began to squeal louder than ever.
"Ah! Sakura this is amazing! I'm going to a high school party with Itachi! And…" Ino's face turned to horror in seconds. "Oh shit...Neji."
"Yea..."
"Oh shit."
"Oh shit is right, now what are you going to do about it?"
"I-I..."
"Hey Ino, I can't wait for our little Saturday rendezvous. It'll be quite the evening, don't you think?" Said Neji as he came up behind Ino suddenly. Flashing her a classy smile, Neji was very classy. Pale skinned, bright grey almost colorless eyes, and such silky long brown evenly trimmed hair. Another one of the most desired heartthrobs of Konoha high. His reputation was enough to make even the gorgeous and incredibly popular Ino Yamanaka nervous.
"Uh... yea! Totally! eh..." Ino biting her tounge, though Neji didn't seem to notice her hesitation, as he walked up to her, placed a hand across her neck and kissed her pale skinned cheek. A blush spreading across her face. Neji walked away, giving a quick wink, and putting a hand up as a farewell, giving both Ino and Sakura a wave. When he was finally out of sight, Ino collapsed into her locker, "Kill me now Sakura."
Sakura walked home by herself, as Ino decided to stick around school to gather the courage to turn down either Neji or Itachi. Saying no to Itachi was difficult because every girl was in love with him, whether or not they knew it. He seemed like a reasonable and very nice guy, and would be understanding, but Neji didn't seem that way. He was more judgmental, but still at the top tier, and worth dating. Sakura hoped her friend was okay, and had managed to make a decision. Just as she had left school property, a sleek black car pulled up, and parked in front of her. Sasuke got out of the drivers side.
"S-Sasuke?" Sakura said, confused and surprised. Her heart skipped a beat, he looked so cool and so hot. He intimidated her, and she still was crushing on him hard, but his recent lack of chivalry was giving her second thoughts...
"Come with me," He said, motioning to her, and opening the passenger door. She was puzzled, but she was too nervous to say no, so she complied and got in the car.
When they got going, she decided to break the silence. "I didn't know you could drive, is this car yours?" She asked, he merely responded with a dull "Mhm."
"So..." The silence was unnerving. "Did your parents buy it for you?"
Sasuke's face suddenly dawned a strange expression Sakura had never seen before. It was definitely a scowl, but…sad? "Sasuke?"
"Yea. They did." Was all he said, as if to cease the discussion, and any further discussion.
The negative new aura in the car was painfully apparent. She couldn't pinpoint what she did wrong, but something she said definitely upset him. Way to go, Sakura.
After another five minutes of silence, they finally arrived at a small house, in a less than impressive area. "Is this...your house?" Sakura asked, is Sasuke poor?
Sasuke scoffed. "No." Without saying much else, he got out of the car, not bothering to open Sakura's, and headed towards the small shabby house. After walking inside, it was pretty apparent whose home it was. There were ramen cups all over the tiny kitchen, milk had been left out, some ninja video game was left running, and lots of too orange clothing was messily left around. Naruto...
The small house had two even smaller bedrooms, one of which Sasuke went into while Sakura hesitated as to whether or not she should follow. After a few moments, he poked his head out. "Sakura, come on." He said, beckoning her inside. She sheepishly followed, wondering for a moment where Naruto was.
Inside the small room was a low bed, and Tv across from it. Sasuke had already turned it on, and it was some political documentary. How drab, Sakura thought to herself as she sat herself down next to him. There was a small closet that looked like it had clothes that were more Sasuke's style. I wonder if he lives here... Sakura was too nervous to ask him more questions, and before she could even think about it, Sasuke moved towards her and kissed her deeply.
He slowly pushed her back on the bed, and she let him take over. Feeling his warm muscular body against hers made her heart flutter, and the kiss connected them in a way she'd never felt before. Sure she had kissed boys before, but Sasuke seemed to really want her, as he had initiated all of their contact so far. For a moment she felt really special.
His hands worked his way around her body until she felt him teasing with her shirt. They had been making out for a few minutes now, and he was already moving faster than she was ready for. She considered herself incredibly lucky, and didn't want to say anything to ruin the moment or drive him away. If this is what he wants, I think I should let him do it... She wasn't effectively convincing herself, and some part of her felt sick.
Soon enough, Sasuke had expertly removed her shirt, and was playing at the hem of her pants.
She had fantasies about this exact thing not long ago, she had always had a crush on Sasuke, ever since she can remember...And even when he disappeared during Junior high, she still had feelings for him. But now..Now she was scared and uncomfortable, and she realized she didn't know anything about the boy on top of her.
Still, without the courage to stop Sasuke's aggressive advances on her body, she let herself be lost in the moment. She was consumed by his hungry black satin eyes, and suffocated by his soft cinnamon scented skin as it entered her.
CHAPTER 4
Chapter 4
Sakura was now in her own bed, and it was Friday night. Even though it had already been a few days since she lost her virginity to Sasuke, she could still remember what it felt like, and it made her body tingle. It also gave her a pit like feeling in her stomach. She didn't even think about the fact that he hadn't used a condom until he finished inside her... She got chills as she recalled them doing that.. She also recalled seeing Naruto for a split second as Sasuke led her out of the small house when taking her back home. His dumbfounded expression at seeing her suddenly appearing in his home would have been something rather humorous if the situation were any different, but instead it made her feel like a spectacle. Naruto was pretty daft, but even he could figure out what had just happened between Sasuke and Sakura.
The rest of the week had gone by pretty fast, since it was just the first school week, classes were easy. Popular students wasted no time setting up parties, and the word around school was that Hidan's party was unofficially going to kick off the year. Everyone was invited, even students like Shino, who of course refused to give an answer, and Hinata, who seemed unable to give one.
In no time, Saturday morning had arrived, and Sakura spent all day mentally and physically preparing herself to fit in with the top tier socialite students. She was determined to become one herself. Now that she was in a relationship with Sasuke, she was sure she was a shoe in.
With excruciating detail, she had perfectly embellished her face and body with expensive makeup, a frilly pink dress, lacy stockings, and red high heels.
Suddenly she heard a knock at the door, and it was already time to leave. She gathered her things quickly into an expensive handbag, and left the house, not bothering to give her parents notice. Though, come to think of it she also hadn't even told them she was going anywhere today. She shrugged to herself, it's not like they cared where she went or what she did. Or who she did.
She took a deep breath, put on a sweet smile, this time trying to add a little sexiness, and opened the door.
"Hi Sasuke." She said, as the handsome Uchiha leaning on the door frame met her gaze.
"Hey Sakura. You look great." Sasuke said, holding out a hand to her as she placed her in his. He wore a tight dark blue shirt with silver lining in it, a black jacket, and skinny jeans. He also wore metal chain mesh necklace, and she now noticed the streaks of dark blue among the pitch black styled spikes. He was as handsome as ever.
Itachi was the chauffeur for the night, and Ino was already waiting by the car for Sakura. She waved to her as they got in the back seat together, with the two brothers in the front.
"Sakura! You look so hot! I love your dress!" Ino began praising her, as Sakura too returned the favor. Itachi began to drive, and Sasuke turned up the radio. It was loud enough for Sakura and Ino to whisper to each other without the sound reaching the front.
"So what happened with Neji? Did you ever tell him?" Sakura inquired
"Well...no."
"What? What are you going to do? Isn't he going to be there tonight?"
"Well yea but...Look I can take care of it alright?" Ino said a little defensively. Sakura seriously doubted that to be true.
"Ino! I just don't want you getting in trouble, okay!"
"Yea, well you don't have to worry about me okay, but thanks I guess, whatever..." Ino looked a little embarrassed, and perhaps was now nervous. Eventually they arrived at a beautiful pristine looking mansion, Ino and Sakura both became speechless as they pulled into the expansive driveway. The luxurious front yard was incredible, people were piling in, most of whom didn't even seem like they were students of their high school, or any high school for that matter.
Both Sakura and Ino had been to college parties, or so they had thought. It had mostly been older teens and young adults getting drunk and listening to bad music, making stupid mistakes, and throwing up in their parents houses. This was on a totally different level, in both quality and quantity.
"So this is Hidan's house? It's enormous!" Ino said, as Itachi helped her out of the car.
"Nah, this is our house." Sasuke said, heading towards the house, beckoning to Sakura who had helped herself out. Both Ino and her looked very surprised.
"You and Itachi live here?" She said, repeating the fact in astonishment.
"Yup." Sasuke said, leading them into the large house, the whole place was lit up nicely, one half had disco lights flashing constantly, music blasting, and people jumping up and down. The other had a more relaxed lighting, some couches, and a dining area, though the noise seemed to bleed across the entire estate. There was an upstairs, and already young couples were going up and down, leading each other into rooms, as the door shut tightly behind them. Sakura gasped a as she watched two young adult women were crouched over a table, with a small pile of white powder being cut into thin lines on the table.
"Ah sorry, don't mind them Sakura." Itachi said, "You ladies don't have to get involved with anything that goes on here tonight, okay?" He said in a calming and reassuring tone.
"Oh come on! It's no fun without the good stuff!" Said a loud and ecstatic voice from behind me. Sakura felt a hand on my shoulder, as she whipped around to see Hidan putting his arms around her and Sasuke.
"Glad you could make it missy!" He said directly at me, he was incredibly close to my face, too close for comfort.
"Oh y-yea.." She said as a deep blush spread across her heated face. He really was very handsome, slicked back white hair, silver jeans, a black mesh shirt, and very nice eyes. He wore a few rings and necklaces, one ring in particular stood out to her for some reason.
"Now now Hidan, please don't scare the princess." Said Yahiko, as he and Konan walked over to the group, his arm slung around her shoulder. She noticed again that he and Konan had rings that looked very similar to the one Hidan wore.
"Hello Ino, Sakura." Konan said very politely to each of them, she looked absolutely beautiful in her thigh length flowing blue dress, casual yet extravagant. Which seemed to be her signature style.
"You both look stunning!" Said Yahiko, also very politely, Ino and Sakura smiled, thanking him.
"Come on." Sasuke said, nodding to the others as he led her away. He led her into the dance area, though he seemed to be able to evade anyone from bumping into them, as he maneuvered her towards a quieter spot in the back, where Naruto sat.
"Hey guys! You made it!" Naruto got up, nodding a hello to her, giving Sasuke a fist bump greeting. Not far from them was Kiba and a few other guys from the school. They were sitting with older girls, that were definitely not Konoha students. Kiba seemed to fancy a dark haired girl with light blue eyes, as he was very plainly flirting with her, playing with strands of her hair.
Before they could get settled, an attractive girl came up to Naruto, whispering something in his ear before loudly asking him to dance. She had a high pitched voice, but she was very cute and peppy. Naruto looked over joyed, but then again, he always looked like that, he agreed to dance with the girl.
"Go get em sexy!" Kiba said jokingly, as Naruto walked away, turning back and giving Kiba a sour look.
"Naruto hates dancing." Kiba said in a humorous voice, as they watched Naruto stumble around as the girl danced against him, probably pretty drunk already. "C'mon we should help him out." he said, holding a hand out to the dark haired girl as they walked out onto the dance floor together.
Sasuke got up as well, not saying a word, and help out a hand to Sakura. She blushed slightly at his intense gaze. He had on his usual smirk, as he led her onto the dance floor. Sakura wasn't a bad dancer by any means, but she was a pretty distracted, as she looked around to see Naruto getting more comfortable with that girl. He didn't look uncomfortable anymore, his face was very relaxed, even as the girl ground her body against him, putting her arms around his neck, pulling him in seductively. She seemed to try and go in a few times for a kiss, but he was coolly evading her advances.
Sakura turned her attention back to Sasuke who seemed to have been looking around as well, dancing didn't really seem to be his thing, and it really wasn't hers either. He put his hands further up on the small of her back, and for a moment Sakura actually felt comfortable with him, just being there in that moment. Not being sexual or intense, just being together. It seemed neither of them wanted to be there, so she made the decision to lead them elsewhere. She took his hand, and he looked at her for a moment with slight surprise, allowing her to lead him away. Maybe we could just talk for a bit?
They were cut off by a distraught Ino.
"Oh Sakura! Sakura, what should I do?" Ino said panicking, her eyes tearing up a bit.
"Ino, what's wrong?" Sakura tried to calm her down, she freaked out like this a lot, usually it was because her make up had run out while at school or something else rather vain.
"Neji is here!"
"Oh no...and Itachi."
"Neji is really pissed, and Itachi is probably sooo angry with me now!" Ino was sobbing
"Oh Ino.. See? You shouldn't have waited so long to deal with this. Come on."
Sakura looked back for a moment at Sasuke, who's face hadn't changed a bit. He silently followed Sakura and Ino into the lounge, where she saw Neji yelling at Itachi and taking a fighting stance, while Itachi stood his ground very well.
"-The hell is your problem Uchiha? You can't just go around with all these girls! Especially girls that are taken." Neji was furious, and he was likely jealous of Itachi.
"Well, first of all, I came here with one girl tonight." Itachi said smoothly. "I understand that you're upset, but this really isn't a good place for us to discuss this."
"Hn you think your better than everyone don't you? Well I am sick of your entitlement Uchiha, who do you think you are anyway?"
"Neji, please calm down..." Said a distressed Lee, trying to appease a fuming Neji.
Itachi just closed his eyes, tired of Neji's yelling, and sighed deeply.
"That's it, I'm gonna finish this!" Neji raised a fist, and quickly thrust forward, what happened next was so fast that the croud, who'd gathered to watch the dramatic scene, barely saw it happen. Neji's fist stopped inches away from Itachi's face, whose eyes were closed even though he had almost just been hit, and hard. Yahiko stood there next to them, his firm hand around Neji's fist. In front of Neji was Hidan, who had a hand placed flat against his chest, and behind him Konan who had a hand on his shoulder. Lee came up an put a hand on his other shoulder.
"Neji, I think we should go." Lee said, trying to calm down his friend. Neji grunted and lowered his arm, while the others let go and stepped away from him. Lee nodded to the four of them, and they kindly nodded back. Lee began to walk Neji to the door, passing Sakura and Sasuke.
"Lee, I'm sorry about Neji. I told Ino she should...is he gonna be okay?" Sakura couldn't find the right words to amend things.
"Hi Sakura, Neji will be fine! I'm sorry I didn't get to spend time with you, you look beautiful tonight." Lee said smiling at her. "Sasuke..." he said, glaring at Sasuke, and walking out the door behind Neji.
"Well, that was a little unexpected." Said Konan.
"Yea, it was a little out of the ordinary, since we usually only have to stop fights between people who are high, wasted, or horny." Hidan said laughing.
"Not to mention, Neji is strong and fast, as the captain of the Martial arts team..." Yahiko said, rubbing his wrist.
"Thanks guys." Itachi said, sharing a smile with them.
"Hey, what did we miss!" Said Deidara, followed by Sasori. The two had just arrived, and seeing that a crowd had gathered, assumed something had just gone down. Sakura turned to look at the pair, and realized Sasori had been staring at her since he walked in. They locked eyes for a moment, standing there, each slightly surprised at the intensity of the gaze. Sasori looked very handsome, and dawning a loose fitting v-neck and jeans. And those deep reddish brown eyes... Deidara suddenly swung his arm around Sasori, pulling him out of the trance, and away from Sakura's gaze. "Hey buddy! Let's go do some coke!" Deidara pointed to the small tray of coke that had been left messily spread on a nearby coffee table
Sasori shoved him hard. "-The fuck? No way man, are you crazy?"
"Hey hey un- I'm just kidding!"
Sasuke looked over at Sakura "I'm going to get a drink, catcha later" he said, walking away from her and group. She took this chance to walk over to Ino, giving her an encouraging push towards Itachi, who was looking at her curiously. She burst out in tears, trying to tell him everything. Yahiko joked with Deidara and Sasori about the incident, while Konan went to appease a tearful Ino.
"Ino it's alright, It's over now anyways. Let's not let this ruin our night, okay?" He said to her reassuringly, he really was an amazing guy.
"O-our night?" Ino said, perking up.
"Of course! We're still on a date right?" Itachi said taking her hand, and looking sweetly into her eyes.
"I-I, yea, I guess so." Ino said smiling, "Let me go clean up a bit, I'll meet you guys on the dance floor okay?"
"Alright." Itachi smiled at her, as Ino left towards the bathroom.
"Neji can be a scary guy, I wouldn't want to have to confront him if I were her." Konan said. The crowd has now dissolved, and everyone was back to their mindless partying.
"Yea, agreed." Yahiko said, still rubbing his wrist. How he, or any of them moved as fast as they did, still had me in shock. "C'mon guys lets go!" Yahiko said, as Konan followed behind him. Itachi stood by me as I walked behind Hidan, though I stopped to see that Deidara and Sasori weren't moving.
"You guys comin?" I said, cheerfully asking.
"Nah, I don't really dance." Sasori said dully, trying not to look at her.
"HELL YES!" Deidara responded, charging the dance floor, downing the first alcoholic beverage that was offered to him.
"Come on Sakura." Itachi said. Hidan had already made his way up to the Dj post, taking over and jumping into the crowd, he was quite the attention grabber. Yahiko and Konan were inseparable, much to the dismay of the surrounding girls and boys, wanting both of them. Sakura saw that Naruto was now sitting down, but there were two girls hanging of of him, playing with his blue crystal necklace, and putting their hands through his hair. He seemed to be thoroughly enjoying this treatment, as it wasn't dancing, and didn't take much effort on his part. She looked around at the group of people, trying to spot out Sasuke, when she saw the back of his head.
"Go on! I'll wait for Ino here." Itachi said, motioning her forward. Itachi was very sweet, and incredibly handsome, man was Ino lucky! She walked into the dancing crowd, pushing her way through the bustling people. She caught a quick glimpse of Kiba, dancing intensely with a different girl this time. Strangely enough, she had similar features as the girl he was with earlier. Dark hair, light colored eyes.
She finally saw that familiar black spiky hair, and walked toward it. As she got closer she saw a hand, run through the back of his hair, it didn't look like his.
"What the hell!"
Sasuke had gotten a quick drink of something that was sitting out, and returned to the dance floor, assuming Sakura had already found her way there. He saw Hidan over head on a thick beam, and the sight of him making a spectacle made the dance crowd go wild. Sasuke was not amused by the antics of his older brothers pathetic group, but still...he longed for something he couldn't identify, and maybe they could help him figure out. A red head approached him through the croud, stepping in front of him. Out of nowhere, his head began to spin as he tried to focus on standing up straight.
"You're Sasuke right?" She said, very closely in Sasuke's ear, the raspy tone of her voice made Sasuke shiver. She was just dancing afterall, nothing serious, besides Sasuke was a little too distracted by the sudden chemical reaction going on in his brain. Sasuke simply nodded in response, his vision still spinning.
"Ha, I'm Karin." She said, and again, her voice rumbled in his ears, what the hell was in that drink..?
She started getting closer and closer, moving herself up and down his body, as he blinked a few times, trying to get his mind clear. He could feel some normlacy returning to his senses, taking a deep breath. Whatever this chick is doing feels pretty good. She put a hand on his chest, looking a little like she was going to fall over, but she kept moving in time with the music. She took of the thin framed glasses she was wearing and put them in the small back pocket of her shorts. Her hand was still on his chest, and she kept getting closer.
This probably is not a good situation to be in...Sasuke thought to himself, but he didn't know what to do about it, he felt paralyzed, like he couldn't move from this spot. Suddenly her arms were around him, she locked his gaze with hers as she stopped moving slightly, she did have pretty eyes, they were like a brownish burgundy. And the matched her dark red hair, she smirked when his face when a tinge of red, it was barely there, but it was enough for her to work with.
"You know," She said in his ear, "Your just as sexy as the rumors say." Her voice vibrated in his ear, and his whole body tingled. She stumbled slightly, as she had to stand on her tippy-toes in order to speak in his ear, he was much taller than her after all. He instinctively caught her, thinking she would fall, and she smirked at his reaction, holding his hands to her waste and she put her hands around his neck. Sasuke didn't feel like pulling away, and he was all too used to doing whatever he wanted to stop now. Karin put a hand around the back of his head, bringing his head down to meet hers, and pressing her lips against his. He didn't really move, in fact, he stopped moving, and she saw that he had opened his eyes. She held back a smirk, and deepened the kiss. She saw his eyes close, and she silently celebrated her victory. Before she could enjoy her victory, she heard a loud and distraught female voice, as Sasuke quickly broke away from her.
"What the hell?" Sasuke heard the familiar voice and stiffened, suddenly he didn't feel so dizzy.
Oh shit...
