One & Only Chapter 2: Message in a Bottle, a naruto fanfic

-One & Only-

I was sitting on my bed, staring in ringing phone. I wanted to answer, but I couldn't. My arms were like dead and I couldn't control them. The surrounding is so strange to me in this moment, like I wouldn't be in my room. Ringing stopped and dead silence was again in my room. Not even one single sound, not even one single light wasn't no. Just full moon, shining through my window. It's already night, even it's the middle of a summer. Those dreams are really messing with my head lately. And what is even more exhausting that this dreams are repeating. First there is my memory on Sakura and then...

Another ringing. Again I looked who the caller is and this time it was Shikamaru.

" What?" I asked in cold and tired tone.

" Naruto wants to know if you are coming... even he is already drunk, he is still annoying as usually." Shikamaru lazily said.

I heard dobe, drunkly asking something Shikamaru and he just snorted something back.

" Hn."

" Are you talking with teme?! Give him to me!" I heard him shout and I sighed.

" Teee-me? Yo, you ha-a-ve to come..."

" Tsc."

" Don't be such an ass! If you don't c-c-come..." and he was silent for few moments, and just in a moment when I wanted to ended a call he continued. " ...You will confess you are a... GAY!!! G-Y-A... no wait, that wasn't right... G... G-A-Y... yeah... GAY!!!!!!!!!"

I clenched my fist on a phone. Damn it... now I have to go, if not they will never stop.

" Tsc!"

" So... you coming?" apparently Shikamaru managed to pulled his phone out of dobe's reach and asked me lazily.

" Yeah." I said after few moments.

" All right... Neji will stop by..."

" Aa."

" See you then..."

" Hn."

Great now. After my nightmare I will have to be with drunk dobe all night. But enough of feeling sorry to myself, I had to too a quick bath, before I go there. Sometimes I think I'm becoming just like Kakashi, lazy and too tired to do anything. When I opened the doors there was already the dog, waiting me I guess. Fuck you Kakashi, now I have to take care of your dog?! He scratched himself behind his ear with his small leg and yawned.

I took deep sigh and closed my eyes. You will pay for this Kakashi... someday... but you will!

Xxx

After irritating walk with the dog and when I finally took my bath and dressed myself for the party, Neji was already waiting for me in his black Honda Civic with someone next to him.

" I called you two hours ago." he said when I sit in a car.

" Hn."

And with that we drove off with silence in a car. I didn't find Tenten bothered with that, which was what surprised me a bit. She was always the one, who tried to kill silence between us, but today she was quiet and surprisingly not blushing next to Neji. Something had to happened between these two and the most important is that Tenten looked really different today. Actually I didn't recognise her in the first time when I entered the car. She didn't have her buns, but her lightly wavy hair were down, lying on her bare shoulders. She had her make-up on and she looked... well, for a girl who is obsessed with weapon pretty hot, if I can use this word. But there was not even a second when I realised that she is already taken... by Neji.

" Turn right." Tenten said to Neji and helped him to find the place. Tenten helped Neji... this is something what a human being don't see everyday.

There were already people here and there, or making out or passed out, but we keep on driving, getting closer to the party place. In just five minutes we parked the car and headed towards a small house. It was already passed 11 pm and the real party started about now. We passed people who knew us and greeted with a wave or a nod. But we continued and went in a house, where loud music hit us. It was full, but there where we went were small couches and there were our friends. Well, except dobe, who was drinking out of a bottle with few more guys, I didn't see Ino too. Shikamaru who saw us first he nodded and everyone turned their heads to us.

But Tenten and Neji disappeared just in a second. Just few moments ago they were behind me and now those two are gone. " Was that Tenten?" Shikamaru asked me with surprised expression on his face when I sit next to him.

" Aa."

" She looks different, that's for sure!" he said and leaned back, with his drink in his hand.

" Where are they going?" he asked me again.

I only shrugged with my shoulders and leaned back on soft back of a couch. But if I'm right they went somewhere they won't be disturbed and that Neji will get his satisfaction. I almost chuckled, but I just smirked.

" Sasuke-kun!!!"

Damn it! Karin is here too?! There was not enough loud music that could covered her voice... I turned my head a bit to find her coming from behind me, with half walk, half running. Great start of a party. And just in a second I found her in my lap, her hands behind my neck. She wasn't wearing her glasses tonight. She was wearing too tight shirt and really short skirt.

" What do you want... Karin?" I asked her through my clenched teeth.

" Oh, c'mon... I didn't see you for almost for a month and now this... will you tell me that you didn't miss me?" she looked me under her long lashes, smiling sweetly.

" No."

" You didn't miss me... not even for a bit?" she made sad, puppy look in her eyes.

" No."

" A tiny bit?"

" No." She is eating my nerves.

" You didn't miss even this?" she leaned next to my ear and give me a slow lick.

" No." I took few moments and answered coldly.

" What about this?" she kissed my neck for few times.

" No..."

" Oh, c'mon... you will say that you forgot everything?" she moved her head away from my neck and looked me in my eyes.

"..." I just raised my eye brow, sending her annoyed look.

And there she stayed, totally frozen on her place. But to tell the truth- I have no idea what or even when I did with her. It must be that party, when I got even drunker that dobe... I think it was end of semester and we went on a party... and there she was... I guess that will be it.

" Oy, troublesome woman!" now Shikamaru entered. " As I remember, he passed out before you could do anything!"

" Shut up, Nara!" she angrily blushed and looked at me. " We are meant to be together Sasuke-kun!"

Oh, how many times I heard this? About thousand times, I think. " Listen to me Karin." I said and leaned forward, pushing her from my lap. She knelled in front of me, having her hands on my knees. I leaned back, where I was and glared her with icy cold expression. " There is no we... never was, never will... so, piss off already..."

She had her eyes wide open and her yawn next to my feet. I just hope this will be enough for few days, she won't bother me. She was off, insulted, but I will at least have peace for the rest of a night.

Shikamaru frowned and took another sip of his drink. Like I thought. He is not drinking any alcohol, like always when he is driving. And everyone are drinking it like there is no tomorrow. Not loosing any more time I grabbed first unopened bottle of beer and drink it. But this was only the first one... and the night is still young.

Xxx

Well... to tell the truth, I'm drunk. Really drunk. I have no idea how long did actually pass since we came here, but I know for sure that now I'm out of my beer, again. Lifting my drunk body on my disorient legs was even harder than I thought. But after dobe came with absinth everything became so funny looking. I even thought I saw nine tails out of dobe. Yeah, I know...

But now, when I finally got my lost orient back, I drunkly took another step towards for getting more beer. But people around me were moving to fast and this make me even more dizzier than I was. I hit at one and then landed in another. I hate this drunk walking, I just wish that fucking beer would be in my hands already.

" Teme!!!" I heard dobe, from somewhere near me, so I turned to see him behind me with two bottles of beer. Well, maybe wishes come true after all.

" Dobe." I called his name in my usual low voice and when he came to me I grabbed on one of his bottles and started empty it.

" Ya know... I knew... you are... not an... ass pusher..." he started, putting his arm around my shoulders.

" Hn."

" But now... between you and me... is there a girl?"

I turned my head to see him, looking at me, half seriously, half drunkly. But I wasn't nothing better.

" Aa."

" Oh, c'mon...tell me..." he started, when we took a sit, next to our friends.

"..." I looked in front of me and not answering him.

" I tell you man... I looove my Hinata... like no one else can... but... I bet there is a hundred percent better guy... she deserves him..." he started and I hope he is too drunk to even remember, what he was asking me.

" ..."

" Now, tell me... do you have... had you had?" apparently not.

" Hn."

" You're an ass teme." he said and pulled my bottle of my hands.

I glared him and grabbed it back to me. He let it go and asked me again. " Do you?"

" I had."

And with that I stood up like someone shoot me and left him behind. This was a topic I really don't want to talk about... specially if I have to talk about her. The one who is coming back.

So I left him and again I went between people, but now on a dance floor. It was full of people but somehow I managed to get in the middle where I found the only person I hadn't seen for whole night. It was annoying and loud Ino, who was dancing in the middle of a floor with some random guy. I could see she was drunk too, even my eye sight was really blur and all I could see it was her face, nothing else.

And then she saw me, because she left that guy behind and slightly drunkly stepped towards me and smiled.

" Sasuke-kun... I wondered... when you will... show up!" she smiled, letting out a giggle and hugged me, pressing her body to mine. Or it was only my drunk body or my nature who let my body react in a way it did, but I wasn't the one who was controlling my body any more. When she was on her way to move away I pulled her again in my arms, wrapping my hands around her body. Her head turned up, now she was looking in my eyes, confused. But in a moment there was everything clear. She knew what was going on in my head.

So I leaned forward in and just in few moments our lips collided and without thinking or waiting I pushed my tongue in her mouths, tasting her. She welcomed me with the same eager kiss as I gave to her and her hands were again around my neck. I pulled her away from the crowd, bumping in people, but I keep on walking my way out of the house, away from the people.

I have no idea when we got on the balcony, which wasn't full. So I pushed her to the wall and broke our kiss. We both were breathing deeply and quickly, but I didn't stop. I attacked her neck, making her moan. But she apparently decided that I won't have all the power and pushed me next to her and she was leaning in my chest, kissed me fully on my mouth.

I have to admit, Ino, as much she is loud and annoying... she know how to work with her tongue. Fucking alcohol was start working on my mind and I had to fight with myself not to throw up or fall on floor, sleeping. But Ino wasn't not better as I'm. She was getting slowly and sloppy. One last kiss, before I realised that Shikamaru and Neji, were calling us. I turned my head towards the doors, where Shikamaru and Neji appeared just to find us, me leaned on a wall, Ino now lying with her head next to my neck.

" Troublesome woman!" I think I heard Shikamaru and soon after the weight of Ino was lifted from me and I was able to fall down, but someone caught me, before I meet floor.

" We will take care of Sasuke." someone said, the one, who was holding me. " Take care of Naruto and Ino."

What Shikamaru answered I couldn't hear, because I turned away from the one who was holding me and grabbed balustrade and throw up whatever was in my stomach. And that was my end for tonight.

Shikamaru POV

... This is such a drag.

... All night sitting her and watching drunk people.

... It's so fucking troublesome...

I let out deep sigh, letting know that I'm bored. They forbid me get drunk today, because obviously they decided I'll be their ride home, while they will be happily drunk, vomiting around my car. I let another deep sigh. And specially now when Ino decided she will celebrate who knows what again and she will be doing her usual things. Dancing on the tables, messing around, kissing different guys and not knowing what she is doing. And tomorrow she will come in my house, yelling on me, why I didn't stop her from doing that and that. And then my mom will yell on me too, just because she will feel like it.

I hate parties. I hate it in the same measure as I do waking one minute before my alarm clock start ringing. I wish I could be at home, sleeping... or that here would be clouds... But... Ino is here and I have to wait till she passes out and only then we can leave. You never know when she will decided she will jump on a table and start dancing... and after that falling on floors, breaking something, like her leg, arm, neck or something like that... Troublesome woman... what she is putting me through...

" Oh, c'mon...tell me..." Naruto and Sasuke drunkly sit next to Choji, who was already sleeping with his mouths wide open and empty bag of chips under his hand. I have to find Ino really soon and we could go home.

"..." Ah, Uchiha's famous answer- no answer. Naruto has to asking him something he doesn't feel like talking.

" I tell you man... I looove my Hinata... like no one else can... but... I bet there is a hundred percent better guy... she deserves him..."

" ..."

Knowing that they are not even suitable to even ask them where is Ino, I stood up and passed them. I glanced Choji who was showing signs that he won't woke up until tomorrow and those two are just too much drunk to notice me, I went between people, who were at least tipsy. Where is Ino?? I haven's seen her since we came here. She must be drunk by now, dancing in the middle of a dance floor... Again I sighed. Everytime she is drunk... I mean really drunk she always finds me and make me dance... dance!! And I just can't tell her to stop or move away from her.

" Shikamaru." familiar voice came from my right. I turned my head lazily and found Neji with Tenten standing in front of me.

" What?"

" Where is Uchiha?" he asked me, when he stepped towards me.

" Over there with Naruto and Choji." I answered to him, even if I didn't feel like it.

" Are you planning take idiot at home?" he asked me, while he turned his head to the tables, where I was sitting few moments ago.

" Naruto?" I half asked, half yawned.

" Hn."

I turned too and see that he was already gone somewhere, doing whatever and if we put all this together, I will have to find him, wherever he has gone. Great. Just great. I guess if I start chasing him around now we will come home just before dawn. " Can't you drive him?"

" I have intention going home now and idiot is just too drunk. He will puke all around my car, like last time." Neji said to me and we exchanged annoyed looks in our eyes.

I was quiet for some time, trying to figure out how to get Naruto, without running after him, all around the wood. " This is so troublesome..." I looked Neji in his serious face. " ... Fine..." I said finally, already regretting my decision. " But you own me a big time!"

" Hn." and with that he was gone. This will be such a drag. Now, where was I? Oh yes, searching for Ino. Did she disappear like that already? I remembered how I had to look for her, once when she got so drunk that she almost started running around naked. And I got few strong punches in my head and stomach. Yeah, I was all in bruises for two weeks, but this didn't stop me from preventing her doing stupid things. I glanced in the middle of the crowd, who were dancing, all of them almost drunk, but I didn't watch others. There was the person I was looking for all this time. It was Ino, dancing all by her own in the middle of a dance floor.

Her eyes were closed, her arms in the air. She was moving her hips in the rhythm of a music. I smirked a bit. She is safe. She didn't do something really stupid, for once in a very long time. She was just dancing... looking quite not drunk. And then I wished I did say the last sentence. She stepped clumsy and hit in a man close to her. She laughed loudly and turned her head in the direction where the man was standing and smiled to him... drunkly.

And I sighed again. Oh why, just why this... troublesome woman can't stay sober for just one night, where the alcohol is in the reach of her hand? Just why? Now I will have to stand next to her, keeping her from falling on her nose and then she will decide she will take a nap on me. And what is the most important, I already see her tomorrow crashing in my house, shouting on me, why I let her go with that guy she was dancing with right now. And if she will go way far from just dancing... this guy is way over 19, that's for sure. I want to go there and pulled her away from him. He will start touching her all around, kissing her where he shouldn't and putting his hands on the places he isn't allowed...

Wait... isn't allowed?? What the hell am I thinking about? She isn't my possession that I could say something like this. She is her own person, no one owning her, she is free person. She can do whatever she wants, can go with whoever she wants and... but she wants me to keep an eye on her when she is in a state like she is now. I promised to that annoying woman when we started going on a parties, because she knows I won't get drunk when I'm driving. But this is going way too far. I'm not her personal body guard! I can't watch her all the time... I looked again her and saw she was pulling his hands off her ass. But... I feel that if I won't, no one will.

It was really fast when she pulled out of that guys embrace, leaving him behind. Did he do something to her? Will he follow her and tried to do something to her? But that guy disappeared in a crowd before I could imagine all possible ways he could harm her. And my eyes returned back on Ino, who was in someone else embrace, she was hugging him, laughing. First I didn't see who he was, but once I saw his hair cut and his clothes I knew. It was famous Uchiha. Finally she was with someone I know. But what I couldn't understand was that they were hugging way too long to be in Uchiha's nature. And then when some people get off my way to see them more clearly I understood. Uchiha was hugging Ino... well this is something a person don't see everyday.

But only what happened later I swear I stayed without air in my lungs. They were making out?! Uchiha and Ino were french kissing in the middle of a crowd, like they are some fucking lovers?? And when I was looking them something inside of me flinched. I felt uncomfortable and in the same way angry. But why would I? I saw her kissing with others already and this didn't happen? Why is this time so different? My eyes followed them when they started moving to the balcony, hitting in people, but never broke their kiss. Well I don't care how she will hate me tomorrow, I guess it's time for me to interfere, before all this is going too far. It's time to get everyone in a car and go home.

I pushed myself of a wall I was leaning on while watching Ino and start looking for Neji. I will need his help this time. Fortunately he was sitting on a couches where I left Choji, who was now awake. " Neji, I think it's time to get Uchiha home..." I said and we all know what this means. Uchiha had his five minutes of drunkenness and now it's time to get his drunk ass home.

Neji stood up without any words, letting Tenten, who was showing signs of tiredness with Choji, who stretched himself and yawned loud. And without any words we went to the balcony, where I saw them to go the last time. " Could you take home Choji?" I asked Neji, when we passed people who were talking with each other. " I will have to find idiot and wait till Ino gets to herself."

" Sure." was the only thing he said and then we stepped on a balcony. And what we saw there... well I got even angrier to tell the truth.

" Troublesome woman!" I hissed in a way Neji turned to me and looked me with a bit surprised look in his eyes. But I had no time to exchange glances or words. Ino was on her way to fall on the floor. I caught her just in time and lifted her up, now fully holding her in my arms.

" We will take care of Sasuke." Neji said to me and grabbed Uchiha. " Take care of Naruto and Ino."

" Yeah, yeah... just..." I half hissed, half answered absently when my full attention was on Ino who was murmuring something in my shoulder. I heard Uchiha throwing up, but I had to get Ino awake, make her throw up, just to feel better and because I really don't want her parents see her like this. My head turned in a direction where Neji was now helping Uchiha stand on his own feet, and I pick up Ino in a bridal way, getting her away.

I took her not too far away from a house, I could hear music and people's voices near, but it was quiet enough for her to hear me. " Ino, do you hear me?"

" Mmm..." she mumbled something in my arms and rubbed her head nearer to my neck.

" Ino, c'mon... wake up..." I repeat, shaking her a bit.

" Mmmm..." she moaned, now bringing her hands around my neck.

Well I was in a position when I had to improvise. I never had her in a state when she was already asleep and hugging me in such way. " Ino... wake up..." I tried again, but without any success.

I sighed. And rolled my eyes. And sighed again. What to do now? The only thing which could get her out of her sleep is cold water. But I have no cold water near me. But... like I said it's time to improvise. I turned on my heels and returned to the house. I went behind the house, looking for some pipe. And I found it, thankfully. Because she was getting too much comfortable in my arms... and they are screaming to get her down. So I knelled slowly and get her out of my arms. Now she was sitting next the pipe, her head on a wall, her breathing slowly.

" Sorry Ino..." I murmured, when I opened the pipe and cold water started running out. " Hate me, but this is for your own good." and with that I splashed the water on her face.

" Jesus Christ and Holy Mother fucker!!" she screamed in all her lungs, jumped in the air, fully awake.

" Keep it down..." I frowned, closing the pipe again.

" Jesus..." she put her hand on her chest, which was rising fast. " Who... who did this?" she asked, not knowing that it was me standing next to her. Maybe quick shower it's not enough to get a person awake, enough to be aware of surrounding.

" Ino, it's me, Shikamaru..." I said lazily, now kneeling in front of her, putting my hands on her knees.

" Shika?" she called out my name, now closing her eyes, her breathing getting slower, normal.

" Yeah... how do you feel?" I asked her, touching her face and keeping it fall on one side.

" Sick..." she answered few moments after I asked her.

" Do you think you can throw up... it will be better after this..." I said in a soft voice.

" I think so..." she answered, slowly. " Shika... I feel my stomach doing crazy circles..." she said in a bit scared voice, like she was afraid.

" This is good Ino... just get yourself better... I will be here..." I said, moving to her side, putting her head between her legs, now massaging her back in slow, rhythmical circles.

It passed quite long time, when she finally got herself together. She almost throw up her own stomach, but despite her tears she was now better and awake. We sat there in silence, no one talking, just listening the party behind the wall, we were leaning on.

" How bad was this time?" she finally asked me in a whisper.

I turned my head a bit, watching her profile. " Depend what you what you want to hear..." I said, now turning my head back, watching black night sky.

" You know what I mean..." she said in a bit angry voice.

" You got drunk, you danced and now we are here... you had better nights." I answered in monotone voice but in the same way a sour and annoyed.

" What this suppose to mean?" she asked again. " You answered like I did something to you."

" It's nothing Ino you did to me... do you feel better?"

" Don't change our conversation Nara! What's your problem tonight? " she turned her head to me and looking me angrily.

" Ino." I warned her in low voice, never looking her in her eyes." Don't be so troublesome. I said it's nothing! Get it already!" I shouted on her, which was first time since we know each other.

" You know I won't stop it, until you tell me! What did I wrong?" she shouted on me back.

And I shut my mouths. I didn't want to tell her the truth, because even I don't believe in it. I don't believe in reason, why I'm so angry on her. It was only a one kiss! One fucking kiss of two drunk asses on dance floor! And now I act like some jackass... and she won't let me go, until I tell her.

" Why do you even care?" I asked her after minutes of silence.

" What?" her eyes widen in the night.

" Why do you care about what I feel, while you are like..." I stopped myself, biting in my tongue, before I say something what I will regret soon after I said it.

" Like what?" he voice was cold as an ice. " Say it Shikamaru! Like a whore, am I right? This was what you wanted to say?"

" Stop." I said, rolling my eyes tiredly.

" As I thought... I'm only a whore to you, nothing else. I should have know that long before..." she said angrily, running her hands through her hair.

" I never said that!" I said back.

" Well I know how to finish sentence myself, thank you!" she snapped in sarcastic tone.

" Well, than you are finishing them wrong!" I yelled on her, not realising the tone of my voice.

" If it wasn't a whore, what was then, huh? Tell me!!!" Ino almost screamed.

And I stayed quiet. I had no idea what to answer her in that moment. If I didn't want to tell her that, what was then? I caught myself in my own words and she found me. Pathetic. Troublesome...

" Like I thought..." she hissed and tried to pick herself up. I shoot up in a moment to help her, but she just pushed me away and helped herself. I watched when she was walking unsure away from me, not knowing what to say. Troublesome woman... it wasn't me who was making out with Uchiha, but you darlin'... She was going to trip herself in just two second so I had to move quickly, before she broke her nose and then yell on me because of that.

" Let me go, you... lazy rat!" she start struggling out of my grip. This is such a drag.

" And let you broke your nose? No thank you!" I hissed on her and pulled closer to myself, preventing her going anyway.

" You don't care for me! I bet that rock cares more for me than you!" she put her hands on mine and dug her nails in my skin. I gritted my teeth, but never loosen my grip. I have no intention driving her to the hospital and then listening her tantrums. Hell no!

" Stop struggling Ino!" I said now with lazy voice, but she never stopped.

" Fuck you Nara! You've always been an ass, but now you're even bigger one!!" she shouted on me, now punching in to my arm. I rolled my eyes and sighed, how long till she will stop and passed out?

" Hey, Yamanaka-bitch!" someone called Ino and I knew already it was Karin. I turned my head and saw her coming from our right, apparently angry. What does she want now? Ino stopped moving, when her name was called, but she wasn't happy on that suffix it was added to her surname. She turned her head and looked over my shoulder. I saw she was trying to concentrate on the direction that came from. " Who called me like that?" she hissed angrily.

" Well, well... you are even bigger slut as I thought you were..." Karin said and now came closer to us and stepped in front of us.

Ino turned her head fiercely to her, now not trying to get rid off my hands, but to kill Karin. " What did you call me you stupid bitch?!" she roared. This troublesome woman will make me deaf, her shouting is so loud... too loud for my hearing.

" Look, who's talking... bitch!" she said and put her hands on her hips.

" Oi... Karin... I said it one time and I will say it again, but for the last time... piss off!" I said calmly, but with enough low voice to mean it.

" Keep your lazy mouths close, ok?" she said to me with a mock.

" Leave Shikamaru alone, you whore! What's your problem today? No one wanted to screw you?" Ino started again.

" Tsc. " Karin rolled her eyes. " Please, you're the slut here, not me!"

Troublesome... and now they will start shouting to each other and I will get a headache in a second... I looked up the sky and wished there would be clouds.

" And this would be why, you retard?" Ino snorted in her and I could feel how her anger is raising and soon I won't be able to keep her away from troublemaker Karin.

" I just wanted to advise you to stay away from Sasuke-kun, bitch... and I won't forgive you for that making out with him in front of everyone here... like a needy whore you seduced him!!" Karin yelled on Ino.

But Ino wasn't struggling anymore what made me confused. I thought she will be all over her now, but she stopped right there, not even one single move she made.

" W-what?" Ino choked.

" You heard me pig... stay away from him, or else you will be sorry to be born!" was the only thing that Karin said and disappeared in the crowd. Thank god, I thought she won't go away. I wanted to let out sigh, but then I remembered that Ino wasn't moving. " Ino... what's wrong?" I asked and loosen my grip on her stomach and moved to see her in her face. And there she stood still, like she would be frozen. Her still a bit wet hair were now lying on her forehead and her cheeks. I got scared a bit, when she didn't even move for a bit. Didn't she know she was making out with Uchiha? What the hell she knows?

" Ino..." I called her again and now touched her shoulder slowly. When my hand connected with her shoulder she twitched and looked me confused, like she just woke up from dreaming. She looked me straight in my eyes and what I found there wasn't joy or anger. It was sadness and sorrow, shining in her deep blue eyes. And then a tear escaped her eyes, slowly slipped down her cheek and disappeared on her lips. I looked that tear all the way and my look stopped on her lips, which were in that moment so attractive and I felt strange knot in my stomach tightening. Damn it, again! But lips twitched and she bit it with her white teeth and did something unpredictable, something I didn't know it was coming. She turned around and start running, away from me and into the crowd.

" INO!!" I called her name with almost yell and automatic start running after her. Damn it woman, what is now wrong?

I've been looking for Ino for almost an hour now. I'm tired, sleepy and pissed. If I don't find her right away I swear on my life I will kill someone. I was everywhere around this party place, well until there was a party. For me it finished in a moment when I had to drag Ino away from Uchiha and now here I'm, walking around, looking for this blond annoying woman and drive her home. And this isn't all... I have to find dobe too and he could be anywhere. This is the last time I'll take care of other people on the parties and looking around where they landed after getting so drunk that they don't know even who they are.

Now I was back from the parking place where I was looking for Ino and Naruto, but no one was there. So I was here again, where someone of them might me. I entered the house, where the half of people passed out already and the others were or making out or on their way to pass out. But there was no Ino. She was nowhere, but there was still place I didn't look. It's the place where I woke her up and she might be right there. So I exited the house and went to the back. It was dark and I couldn't see nothing, but once when my eyes got use to the dark I saw dark figure sitting on the ground, leaning to the wall. I quickened my tempo and once when I reached that person, like huge stone fell away from my heart. It was troublesome woman called Ino, now sleeping, but save.

" You stupid, stupid woman..." I whispered when I keeled in front of her and pushed few of her strands away from her face and without noticing I smiled, when I saw her face. She was so cute.

" Mmmm..." she mumbled and raised her head a bit. I thought she woke up, but her head fall on the other side.

" Shika..." she whispered my name and I raised my head to see if she was looking me, but she was talking in her sleep. I smiled again. " ... I love you..."

Sasuke POV

Fucking shit... this headache is killing me. In a moment when I opened my eyes it was enough that something hit me inside of my head. Fucking alcohol... I slowly made myself to raise my body and with really slow motions I moved my elbows and with its help I raised the rest of my body. After last night party I really want this headache wouldn't be so horrible, like is in this moment. Finally, after really slow raising I was sitting on a bed, recognised as mine, dressed in cloths I was wearing on a party and my breath... well we all get point here. I glanced the alarm clock and it was 10.33... Early... to early for me. But if I'm already awake I should take a bath.

So I was on my way to get myself off of the bed and after almost ten minutes of walking out of my bed I wanted to return in bed and go sleep back. But I felt like masochist this morning so I continue my way in bathroom with huge headache. The dog was already waiting for me at the doors. So Kakashi still isn't home, huh. I just glanced the dog and went in bathroom, closing really quietly behind me. No sudden movements, for the sake of my head. I opened the box for medicals and took out two aspirins and swallowing them, before entering the shower. Water felt good on my skin and I forgot for a headache for a moment. As I was standing there, under the shower I was thinking on a party last night. Who I met, what I was doing. But everything was so black and I couldn't remember what was. I just remembered dobe, asking me something which made me pissed and Neji dragging me home. And this was it. Nothing special.

I opened the doors and dog was again in front of the doors, looking me. " What?" I asked him and passed him by.

He barked and I froze. He is going to bark? Does he want my head explode? So I turned to face that little creature, killing him over and over again with my look. But what he did was looking me lazily and waiting to get him food. I sighed. Kakashi's mini me. So there was no other choose I have to go in lower floor just go shut up this monster. And then I will go sleep again. So I walked downstairs with only my robe around my hips and when I finally get in a kitchen I lazily get to the dog food, who happily ate it. And now when the dog was happy and shut up I can sleep for the rest of a day. Happy me.

I slowly moved my body on my bed and before of that I made sure that there was dark in my room. Now I can rest whole day! But I wish this dreams of mine would be reality. Kakashi decided he will get me up from a bed, because on a moment when I closed my eyes he opened my doors loudly, stepped in even more loudly and in that moment I wished he would die right there. He opened my window and sun light hit me like someone shoot me. I frowned and covered my head with my pillow. But no use. He grabbed it too and throw it on the other side of my room.

" Good morning sunshine!!" he greeted me with too loud tone.

" What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I hissed on him and covered my eyes with my hand.

" I feel good, thank you!" he ignored my question. " Well it's so beautiful morning and you are still asleep sunshine?"

" Speak quieter!" I hissed icily.

" Oh... too much alcohol last night?" he asked me like a mother would ask her child.

" Fuck off!"

" Well... too bad for you, because I got you one day job for you!" he said happily and clapped with his hands, like this is the most beautiful thing that happened in his life.

" What?"

" Hop hop hop... it's a lot to do!" he said and walked out of my room.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy lately? I just turned my body away from the window and closed my eyes again. Maybe he will leave me alone, maybe he was just kidding with me. But I guess I was wrong this time. I didn't hear him come back in my room until cold water hit me hard. I jumped in the air like after I wake up after nightmares, catching my breath. I heard him chuckle and before he closed the doors behind he said. " Get ready in ten minutes!"

" Someday I'll kill you!" was the only thing I shouted behind him and stood up from wet bed. Great, just great. And who is going to dry this mattress? Kakashi? No, Sasuke of course! I guess today my head will be on the edge of exploding and I will have to work. I pulled my pants on and T-shirt and with a lot of effort and then, after almost one hour I left my room with slow steps in lower part of apartment. I found Kakashi with his book opened, reading it and I sit down on a chair opposite his. My head lay down on my arms and with exhausted sigh I closed my eyes.

" In ten minutes the van will arrive. You will help our new neighbour getting in in their new apartment." Kakashi said, not bothering even to take a look at me. I didn't said nothing just try to relax my eyes. So we sit there in silence when Kakashi closed his book loudly, again just to irritated me and put it on a table, again with a loud thud. I raised my head and look in his eyes. He had blank expression on his face, looking at me.

" Girls and alcohol don't fit together! Unless you want tiny little people!" he said with serious voice.

" What?" I asked him with confused voice, not understanding what he want to say.

" I said you could visit sperm hospital for donating... I hate watching all those white spots on out couches in living room! You could even open your own factory! We would get rich in no time!!" he smiled to me, making me pissed.

" The couches are clean idiot!! Maybe you should try Viagra, people are saying it's helpful... even for this kind of old hags as you are!"

" Well thank you... maybe I will get some of this things... if it will help me to clean all those spots of yours!"

I wanted to jump over the table and kill him, but the doorbell prevent me get him under soil. We both turned to the doors, when Kakashi stood up and got toward the doors. I sit back on a chair and closed my eyes. I hate being woke up so early. The doors opened and Kakashi greeted the visitor.

" Hello, I'm Tsunade's daughter Haruno Sakura, nice to meet you!"

And I froze. Did she say Haruno Sakura?? Like in horror movie I turned my head and my widen eyes just couldn't believe what they saw. It was...

I don't own Naruto!!!
