Pink Hair Is Annoying

Chapter Two

Sakura's POV

"Mom!" I yelled. "I'm going to Hinata's!"

"Okay, have fun!" was her answer.

Well, I wasn't really going to Hinata's, but my mom didn't approve of my other best friend, Tenten. Tenten was…..unique. If you gave her any shit she would throw you out the window….if you're lucky. And my mom had met Tenten when she wasn't in the best of moods. But who could blame her? Tenten's boyfriend, Neji Hyuga, had just broken up with her. But, anyways, I was going to Tenten's house with Hinata.

Apparently, Neji had asked Tenten out again and she had flipped out on him. Which she now regrets. Good thing Ino was coming, because I wasn't good at things like this (of course, Ino has a lot of experience, so she would know). When Ino was little, she went to Konaha high with Hinata, Tenten and me. We used to hang out all the time, even though Ino was a grade ahead of us.

I sighed and went outside to Hinata's car (she was picking me up).

"Hey, Hina!" I said as I got into the passenger's side.

"H-hi, Sakura." Hinata was always shy and nervous, even around her closest friends (Me, Ino and Tenten). She was also the nicest person I knew and there were a lot of people in Konaha.

"I'm picking up Ino tomorrow." I didn't like asking for favors, but I wasn't super rich like Hinata so I didn't own a car (wait, Ino knew that, so why was I picking her up?). "Can I use your car to pick her up?"

"Of course!" Hinata gave me a smile before pulling out of the driveway. But then she frowned and said, "Hey, um, do you think Ino was serious on the phone when she said that, uh…..she-she s-said that….."

I giggled. "When she said that she knew the perfect guy for you to hook up with?"

Hinata turned bright red and nodded vigorously. "She wasn't serious, r-right? I-I don't, uh…I'm not really the, uh, hook up t-type of girl." When I didn't answer right away, she gave me a frightened look. "Right, Sakura?"

"Don't worry, Hina!" It was just like Ino to try to find the perfect guy for Hinata or maybe even me (I hope not). "She doesn't literary mean 'hook up' , she means she found the perfect guy for you to date."

Hinata squeaked anyways, and slammed on the brakes.

"Hina," I asked, "Why'd we stop?"

"H-huh?" Hinata blinked. "Oh, um, we're here."

I looked out the window and, sure enough, Tenten's two-story grey house was there. Tenten was usually alone there, because her parents were scientists (aka, they suck as parents) and traveled a lot. And when I say a lot I mean a lot. It was surprising if they came home for Christmas.

Hina and I got out of Hinata's car and walked to the front door. I knocked and shouted, "TENTEN! WE"RE HERE!"

"Come in! It's unlocked!"

Hinata and I exchanged a knowing look at this. Tenten never cared much for safety (even though she could beat the crap out of anyone who broke in).

We found Tenten in the living room, sitting with her back to the couch on the floor. She was hugging her knees and looked fragile (the first and last time).

"T-Tenten!" Hinata rushed over to her, while I raided the kitchen for anything sweet. Normally, I'd use ice cream, but Tenten would rather eat herself than ice cream. I found a bag of chocolate chips and brought them back to the living room.

"Now, I said as I sat down beside Tenten and Hinata. "Tell us what happened."

"Well," Tenten sniffed. "Neji asked me if I would go out with him and I was like, why would I go out with the asshole that broke my heart? I mean, like, he's the reason why Saku's mom hates me! And I cried over him for like two weeks! When do I ever cry? But he was just like 'what the fuck? I said sorry about that and you said it was okay, like months ago!' And then he gave me one of his scary glares and said 'if you're still upset about it then don't flirt with me and act like we're friends!' Then I told him to fuck off, and he got this sad expression on his face and just walked away." While she was talking, Tenten got tears in her eyes and by the time she was finished she was bawling her eyes out. "He probably hates me!"

I gave her a hug and offered her the chocolate chips. She took them with a sad smile.

"D-don't worry, Tenten!" said Hinata. "I'll talk to N-Neji and make sure he forgives you!"

"Thanks, Hina." Tenten wasn't one to cry for long, and after a few minutes she quieted down enough to gain some of her usual spunk back. "And if he doesn't I'll beat him up!"

"Yeah, we'll beat the shit out of him!" I punched my fist in the air (even though I've never beaten anyone up before). Tenten high-fived me.

"B-but," Hinata hated violence. "Only if he says he won't forgive her!"

"Uh-huh." I nodded. But Tenten giggled, so Hinata didn't believe me.

"Promise?" she asked Tenten.

Tenten debated it for a moment, but then she agreed. "Alright I promise. Now let's go out and buy some more junk food!" She set the now empty bag of chocolate chips on the TV stand. Did she really eat the entire bag that fast? Wow, that was just so….Tenten-like.

"Coming, Sak?" Tenten and Hinata were already at the door.

"Yup!" I ran over to them. "Let's go!"

We walked outside to get in Hinata's car.

"You know," I whispered to Hinata, "She really gets over these things fast."

Hinata nodded. We all got into the car and drove to the nearest bakery. Tomorrow Ino would help me and Hina sort Neji out.

THE NEXT DAY

I drove to the airport (in Hinata's car) early. The plane wasn't due to land for a half an hour, so I sat on a bench outside the airport. I pulled out the extra credit project my school had assigned. I was probably the only one who had actually done it, but I didn't really care. School was a week away, and extra points on my GPA could only mean good things. I was reading through my essay when I realized Ino's plane had landed Five minutes earlier.

I rushed inside, looking for Ino. Ugh, since when did so many girls have long, blonde hair? I shook my head and kept looking until I heard Ino's voice from behind me.

"SAKURAAAAAA!"

I turned around turn see in running at me.

"Ino!" I ran up to her and gave her a hug. "I missed you!"

"Aw," Ino said, "I missed you more, Saku."

"So," I asked. "Where is this guy who you're going to hook up with Hi-"

Ino covered my mouth and pointed to a tan, blue-eyed guy with spiky blonde hair. "That's him." She whispered. Then she said more loudly, "Naruto, this is Sakura. Sakura, this is Naruto."

"I held out my hand. "Nice to meet you."

Naruto shook it and said, "Nice to meet you, too! By the way, I like your hair color!"

I tried not to grimace at his comment on my hair(too many people have made fun of me for my hair, which is completely natural). "Um, thanks."

Naruto grinned. "You're welcome! My friend Sasuke would be here, but he's an ass, so he left."

"Don't worry, though," Ino said. I was kind of scared by the look on her face. "You'll defiantly meet him later."

Ino and Naruto exchanged a glance. I didn't want to know about whatever Ino's evil plan was this time, so I didn't say anything. Every time Ino comes to visit, she tries to set up Tenten, Hinata and me with some random guy. It was slightly pathetic that she thought we couldn't get guys on our own, but whatever.

I changed the subject. "So, we need your help, Ino."

"About that asshole Neji?" Apparently, Tenten had already told her everything.

"Yeah, we're going to talk to him today."

"We as in, you and me and…?"

"Hinata. Do you think Tenten should come?"

"No, Tennie would just loose it and make him madder."

"Okay, well what should we say?"

"Wait, Wait!" Naruto objected. "Um, should I go so you guys can do all your girly stuff?"

I said 'no!' at the same time Ino said 'if you don't mind.'

Naruto looked at the two of us and shrugged. "I'll just go, then. I'll text you when I find Sasuke?" He asked Ino.

"Sure!" She answered and Naruto said goodbye and walked off.

"So, to Neji's?" I asked Ino.

"Can we wait an hour so I can get settled in my dorm and stuff?"

"Okay." We strolled over to where Ino's pink suitcase was spinning around the ramp where luggage came out.

"Hey," said Ino as she picked up her suitcase. "Can you give a ride to Konaha Uni?"

"Yup," I pulled her outside. "Let's hurry so I can do something besides lug you around."

"You're the one who can't stay in line when I'm gone." I stuck my tongue out at Ino, making her laugh.

A half an hour later I got a text from Ino.

To: Saku-RAH

From: Ino-pig

M: Hey, Saks, You busy? My roomy is a bitch and she doesn't have a younger sister, you liar. Anyway, could you pick me up now?

I giggled; Ino should have known better to believe me about her roommate.

To: Ino-pig; Hina!

From: Saku-RAH!

M: On my way to pick yous up!

I put down the book I had been reading (yes, I am a nerd) and left my room to jog outside to Hinata's car. Hinata was waiting for me when I pulled into her driveway and she jumped in as soon as I had stopped.

"Hi, Sakura!" Hinata said, not stuttering for once.

"Hi!" I gave her a devious look. "I met the guy Ino wants to hook you up with."

"Eek!" Hinata blushed. "U-um, does he uh does h-he s-seem nice?"

So much for her not stuttering. "Yup! Aaaaand he is totally perfect for you!"

Hinata turned redder than ever and stared out the window. "Well, uh, ino said that you and- oh! Never mind."

I narrowed my eyes suspiciously, but didn't say anything because I had stopped the car next to Ino.

"Hey, girls!" Ino yelled as she hopped in the car. "I missed ya, Hinata!'

"Shut up, Ino!" I said. "We're in a car all squished together; you don't need to yell."

"Nuh-uh!" Ino objected. "I have tons of room!"

"P-probably because, uh" Hinata faltered as we pulled into Neji's driveway. ",Because you're, in the-the backseat."

"Aw, Hina!" Ino giggled and got out of the car. After a moment's hesitation, Hinata and I followed.

Neji Hyuga, like any other high school student, lived with his parents. Except his mother had died of cancer, so it was just him and his dad. I didn't get how Neji's dad, Hizashi Hyuga, was so nice while his brother and Hinata's dad, Hiashi was so overprotective and scary. Like if he looked at me I wanted to pee my pants. Not literally, but you get the point.

Ino knocked on the door. Almost immediately, Hizashi opened it.

"Hello, Hinata!" He gave her a grin then greeted me, then Ino.

"Um, Uncle Hizashi?" Hinata asked. "Is Neji h-home? We would like to, uh, speak with him."

"Yes, he is home!" Hizashi held the door open wider. "Come right in! I think he's in his room upstairs." After we filed in, Hizashi gave us one last smile before walking in what must be the kitchen.

Now, I loved Hinata and stuff, but…All of the Hyugas were, like neat freaks or something. Their houses were just too tidy and too organized. It was almost kind of scary.

Hinata led us up the stairs and to Neji's door.

"Um…should we, uh, knock?"

I opened my mouth to say yes, but Ino, being her rude self, pushed the door open. Hinata gasped and looked at me. I shrugged; it didn't really matter, as long as Neji wasn't changing or anything. Ew.

"Hey, Hyuga!" Ino glared at Neji, appeared to have been reading (maybe I wasn't the only nerd?) before he was rudely interrupted. "Don't give up on Tenten!"

He glare back. "Why should I listen to you?"

"Because I'm friends with college boys who can beat ya up with their eyes closed!"

Neji was unimpressed. "And what if I say no after that?"

"Then," I said, "You're missing out on the best girl in the world!"

"And she's also the only one who would go out with a dick like you!" Ino added. Wow, that girl was mean when she was pissed.

"Y-you guys," Poor little Hinata. "We're just talking it out, r-remember?"

Neji nodded (he was totally scared of us). "I agree with Hinata. I tried to give Tenten another chance and she refused. You shouldn't force her to go out with me."

Ino gave me a look that said please-don't-agree-with-them. I rolled my eyes and spoke. " Neji Hyuga. Tenten. Told. Us. To. Come. Here. Get it?"

"I-"

Ino cut him off. "Do you get it?"

Neji glared. "I understand, Ino. But I feel that-"

"If you get it the just ask her out again and be done with it!" Ino flicked him off and left the room.

"Well, Neji?" I asked.

"I think Tenten should discuss this with me in person."

What the hell was this guy's problem? "If you-"

"W-wait!" Hinata looked at Neji, then me. "Maybe, uh, um, m-maybe he has a point."

"'Kay well, we'll come back with Tenten!"
Hinata gave me a frightened look, but followed me out of Neji's house and into the car. Ino was waiting for us.

We sat in silence for awhile, until Hinata spoke up as she pulled out of the Hyuga's driveway (I guess I was giving her car back). "Uh, Sakura?"

"Yes?"

"Are you mad at me?"
I laughed at that. "No! Of course not! You were right, so why would I be mad?"

"O-okay..."

"Wait!" Ino said. "Right about what?"

"Right that Tennie should tell Neji herself that she wants to date him."

"Hmm…." Ino looked out the window, lost in thought. I hated when randomly did that.

"Lets wait until Tenten figures it out herself." She stated, almost matter-of-factly.

"B-but-" started Hinata, but Ino cut her off.

"'Cause she's probably still super upset about it and if we bring her over there she won't know what to do besides yell at Neji."

"O-okay." Hinata agreed. "Should we, uh wait to mention this to her, then?"

I nodded. "What do we do till then?"

Ino gave me one of her infamous devious smiles. "We grab Tennie and meet the hottest man alive!"

"Who-Whose that?" Hinata glanced at me worriedly.

"Sasuke Uchiha! And Hinata will meet her true love, Naruto Uzumaki!" Ino giggled.

"Do you have a crush on this Sasuke Uchiha?" I asked her.

"No!" Ino kicked my seat. "He's super sexy but he's also a major asshole. Most of the girls in Suna would have killed each other to go out with him, though. Even if he is an ass."

"K-killed each other?" Hinata squeaked. "Just t-to date a guy?"

"Well," Ino giggled again. "Not to date, but maybe if he promised to bang them, they would."

"Ew, "I wrinkled my nose. "He must be a player."

"Only when he's not sober!" Ino objected.

I rolled my eyes. "Because that makes it okay."

Hinata had arrived at my house I got out and called 'text me when we're meeting them' and walked inside.

My parents were divorced, so I lived with my mom. My dad lived far away and he rarely visited. I didn't care; he hadn't ever been much of a father anyways. After kicking off my shoes I sat on the couch and turned on the TV. I flipped through the channels several times, then decided to find something else to do. I didn't really want to do anything, so I grabbed my jacket and walked outside.

Winters started super early in Konaha, so it was pretty chilly even though it was only the end of August. I walked around town for awhile, until I was shivering so much that I decided to turn around to get a heavier jacket.

I walked by a movie theater with a bunch of squealing girls outside it.

Omg, Edward is so hot!" One of them said.

"No, Jacob is hotter!" Another girl argued. They all started to bicker. Personality, I thought Edward and Jacob were both ugly and that Twilight was stupid, but I wasn't about to tell them that.

While I was watching the twilight obsessed girls, I wasn't looking where I was going. Until I bumped into someone and fell to the ground, that is.

I felt my face turn red. "Sorry!"

I looked up at the guy I bumped into. Holy shit! I mean, this guy was so fucking sexy that 'holy shit' didn't cover it at all.

He had dark, raven colored hair and darkdarkdark onyx eyes. His skin was an ivory color, that could be tan, but it wasn't. And don't get me stared about the muscles I could see through his shirt. This guy was one of those people that you think isn't buff at first, but when you take a second look, you see that he is freaking ripped. He looked like a god. I mean Ohmigawd he was so sexy that the straightest man in the world would turn gay for him.

"Are you going to stop staring at me?" He asked. I gasped. His voice was so sexy.

I clumsily stood up and apologized again. Except I stuttered like an idiot (no offense to Hinata).

"Hn." He said and walked past me. I couldn't help it. I breathed his scent as he walked by. And holy shit, he smelled so good. I wanted to like take a bite out of him of something. But of course I didn't. I just kept on my merry way as if I hadn't bumped into the sexiest man ever.

Okay, that's chapter two! Next chapter Sasuke and Sakura meet officially!

Just so you know, Sakura's opinion of Twilight is not my own!
