Chapter 2 : Drunken Minds & Hearts
15.20 hours
Ino POV
Sakura is Late!, but this is good so the guys will have more time to prepare her surprise party, 'Guys I want all of us to communicate, so this party can be a success !'-Kiba typed down in our group chat I look at the screen my fingers went in typing 'I'll buy time for you guys, while I'm with Sakura so if you guys need time type INO, the time we agree with is 19.00 sharp!'-Ino , as I look up I wee my pink head bestie running towards me, shouting the nickname that always made my nerve twitch EVERY SINGLE TIME..
"PIG! Im so sorry I was going the check ups to update my personal data -"I heard enough knowing her since toddlers, she is never late "Stop I know you have to catch things up, I know that you being late, always has a reason behind that" As she breath for air into her lungs, I notice more of her features seems like she's a late bloomer, her hormones must have kicked in two years ago, her body matured beautifully, then I look at her locks that she left growing for a while,….I can drag her to the hairdressers I grab her wrist I head to my hairdresser Mana-san..
"Oi! where are you dragging me to!?" I let her go and turn my body towards her and point at her locks "You know your locks is too long for my liking, I only can have longest hair in our gang" forehead grinned to my confession, making me notice my actions this rivalry of ours is back "Why Pig..? You scared of my beauty ..Hmmm? "
"NO! Forehead! Everyone knows Im the beauty, around here!" she laughed at my words and nodded "You know me well, but I don't mind anymore because this way men look at me moree,…But I do need it cut" I look at her with annoyance, and sigh in realisation that I cant do that now that I have Sai and nodded at her answer plus to single her to follow me, as I turn around and started walking I saw the gang walking around so I broke the silence and let Sakura attention be at me.
"So Sakura, why did you leave?"I eyed at her knowing well enough that it was because of a certain blood knuckle head, I see that her eyes swaying and sadden at the same time "I wanted to learn more about of world and what mother nature can create, so I left to change the environment around me as well, and I think you know the other reason damn well, Ino" her eyes gaze at me "But as I did my travels, I found something to do in that time I have been away from here….In which I cant tell you, due to it's restricted from Lady Tsunade"I sigh at that sentence that just came from that medic best friend of mine.
"Then it's not good then"I look at her as she nod with a deep breath knowing its worse than I thought "Where the hell did you drag me ?" I come to notice that since this medic here next to me, have never seen this new part of the village due to her absence.
"After the war, our economy have been booming people from all over Japan kept moving in, so this is built for people to make their living.." Sakura was slowly looking at the new part of this soon to be town, as it keep on growing, I took this opportunity grab my phone to see the chat going hectic as I notice some messages 'I getting the alcohol for the party'-Shika That smart ass is using this opportunity at its fullest 'Yosh! get a lot of it Shika!'-Naruto "I kinda like this part of town its seems peaceful" as Sakura let out her thoughts I put my phone into my pocket "Yeah, I agree it nice and colourful as well, because these people loves planting which is good to our business, hehe" Sakura still looking around then looked at me then suddenly tilt her head with an still expression.
"Oh! sorry the hairdresser is around this corner" I inform her.
"Shall we get there Ino..? "I nodded
As I am walking in front hearing the medic steps behind me, sure that she is following me, the walk is at least 3 minutes, to the shop the tall narrow building in front brick built covered with cream paint, the plants and flowers Mana-chan haves climbing up the building and the arch at the doorway, growing with snow roses, I went in the shop and right away hugged by a tall yet slim woman with wavy shoulder length blue greyish hair, whom is known as Mana-san the owner of this place.
"Ino I haven't seen you in half a month" She blurted out at me, as she release me from the hug.
"Yes and I came with my best friend that I told you about"I move my body to show her Sakura.
"So your still the Gossip Queen, Ino…..I'm Sakura, nice to meet you..?" Sakura crossed her arms right after she bowed to Mana-san "Oh It's Mana Nice to meet you too, Sakura-chan and to tell you Ino didn't bad mouthed you at all, she just complains how she misses you"I blessed to Mana-san comment and with Sakura smirking at me, knowing well she's going to tease me about this soon or later on.
"So what do you want done to your hair, you two ?" The owner asked to both of us "The usual for, me Mana-san and with Sakura just chopoff her hair and make them curly and-"
"Oi! its my head my property, So Mana-san I want it midway of my back and make them wavy please"The medic requested to the hairdresser who just nodded to her answer.

In the mall
"Everyone is eyeing on you, Forehead"I quoted to her, as she hear my comment her expression was blank with a slight blush on her cheeks that is the same colour of her hair, her pace fasten trying to go somewhere else even though she docent know where the lingerie shop, I laugh at her actions she looks like a headless chicken, I went to grab her shoulder turn her to face me and to stop her actions.
"Hey! don't just dash off like that"she pouted at me, knowing her doing is gonna make things worse for her.
"Don't do sudden comments like that, PIG!"I smiled I bought my hand back, and walk off.
We went pass a dozens of shop towards the clothing section of the mall, we were greeted by the employees and asked if we needed help, but one of the employee tilted her as she saw me again still keeping her mouth shut as put my index finger over my month, due to the fact that I came to this before I met up with Sakura, I then came to realisation that I brought Sakura a cup A size bra, without thinking her BOOBS WILL GROW! SHIT! SHIT! FUCK!
"What's wrong Ino?" My eyes still wide open of my thoughts, my sweat is now swiping out of my pours.
"What's the rabbit in headlights for? "I broke out from my thoughts, quickly thinking for a smart lie, while doing so I cover the silence with a nervous laugh.
Bingo! "I think I left the gas on in the kitchen, let me text Sai for a moment" I brought my phone up and type in the message to Sai, hoping he'll answer in an instant 'Sai! The gift you must exchange it!'
'Why, whats the matter? isn't it small enough?'- Sai I lam out of words by his reply, how can it be any smaller..?
'NO! I just notice her size IT GREW!'I look at Sakura who was looking the shop collections assisted by one of the employee walking towards me.
"Yes ma'am?" I look at her name tag.
"Please Haru-chan, don't show her the collection that I have bought, please" She nodded and exchange herself with the employee who is holding some clothing that Sakura choose already, *Beep beep*
'When do you want me to exchange it, princess?'-Sai I smile to this, I will have to give him a gift on bed tonight, hehe.
'I'll call you, I'm still with Sakura in the shop that we got her the gift, Okay?' I put my phone into my pocket, and headed towards Sakura.
"Sai took care of it.." Sakura looked at me and notice something, holding a pair of bra white and brown.
"Looking by at your face plus your dirty mind, you are definitely going to have sex with him tonight, Pig…..Do you need a seducing new lingerie for tonight as well..?" She smirk at me, as my temperature grew high.
"Pff.." I notice Haru-chan, my eyes gave daggers to her as I got even hotter. "Sorry, ma'am I shouldn't butt in, I'll put these in the changing room number 03 for you ma'am" She took the bra that Sakura was holding bowed and left us.
"You coming back, is the worst thing yet"She sneaked to me and tilted towards the my shoulder and rubbed herself like a cat still teasing me.
"Reallyyyy, just because I know you too well, makes it horrible, Pig" I sigh and thought that she will be the death of me some day, I grab her head to remove it from my shoulder and playfully shove it away.
"Come onn are gonna tease, or try those underwear?" She laugh looking around then look towards me.
"Do they have mesh armour bras..?"
"Yes, it before the dressing room at the right"
'You can come and exchange the bra to a cup C in 40 minutes, please Sai-kun' I look up right away seeing something that caught my interest a one piece purple sheer floral lace lingerie *Beep beep*
'Ok, princess the meet up is at 19.00, don't get to carried away alright, xx'- Sai I noted that in mind, turn my phone into silent mode then grab the lingerie and head toward Sakura.
Sakura POV
I look at my old watch that I found in my office, in which I was glad it still worked after these years to see that it is 17.18 then I followed the direction that my blond friend told me to find the mesh armour bras, I really need this more when I go back to the north west, just in case my cover is found by their military and the fact that my hormones kicked in so late for me to get new sets, and there isn't in the north west, I feared with it long enough, I grab a couple of C cups and D's just in case my hopes come true.
"D cups, isn't that too big for you that's Hinata's size…?" Cant my dreams come true..?
"Maybe who know's, My hormones came late so they could still be growing, Pig" Ino was standing before my with a sheer purple lingerie drop on her left arm.
"Your hope is to high, Forehead, you should go try them before the place shuts"
- 20 mins later -
As I finish paying for my new sadly cup C underwear collection, followed by Ino for her Seducing night with my pale teammate, and hopefully I wont hear the story from her the following day, Ino told that she wanted to give me a small tour of the area and then grab something to eat at Choji's restaurant after that.
"Ino, before we go to Choji's I should leave these at home, so the boys wont have see this" as I rise the shopping bag to single her what I meant.
"Ohhh come on, the boys have girlfriends they have seen more than enough, they wont bother" Even so, its my personal shit I don't share my personal stuffs with people, I look at her as if she is crazy and the fact I'm her best friend I don't like people to see my personal stuffs *Is that PIG CRAZY!*.
"The hell I'm not going to bring it to the restaurant, there's still other people in the damn place"Ino eye's grew instantly and wave the topic of and started walking, and I started my pace right away to not be left behind.
*She's acting weird Sakura, I think she up to something and STOP IGNORING ME!*
*Stop exaggerating over stupid thi-OUCH* A hug pressure came to right at me as my inner self hammered a nail in my head.
*Your the IDOIT HERE!*
*AND IT DOSENT MEAN YOU SHOULD PUT A FUCKING NAIL IN MY HEAD,BITCH!* I leave my mental state right away annoyed with my headache that my inner self had made for me.
"I get what you mean Sakura, we should head your place right away as well, and I have to ask your mom for your time" the blond said as see look at the road in front of us.
"Even though you know me, you know how things works in this house, haha" I laugh and Ino followed my lead.
"Even so I just know how dense you can be as well, and it is doing you harm and the someone close to you as well, Sakara"I looked at Ino as she already turned to face me a smile, I am really confuse with the statement that she had said to me, but don't want to push the topic and make it even more of a confusing conversation for me so I changed the topic and talk more about the things that have happen during my time away, till we got in front of my house in which took us 20 minutes to get by walking, I notice that the sun is starting to set as it is already 18.03 we both got in my house to see that my mom was in the kitchen preparing dinner and dad greeted Ino as he was coming down from the stairs, I walk to the kitchen.
"Mom, what do you think of my hair" I turn 360 to let her see my results.
"Hmmm, how much did you spend?"The hell…? "Kidding it's beautiful, I like that it's wavy" I smiled and stepped towards her to give a hand.
"Sakura could you cut the carrots" I nod to her request and followed it, Ino came in to greet my mom.
"Good evening Mebaki-san, could I borrow my forehead tonight" I choked right away, pointing the knife at Ino.
"Haha… yes you can, put the knife down Sakura"Ino pop her tongue out, then hugged mom right away.
"But you two must have dinner here now that it's done" Mom turn off the burner and grab a bowl next to the burner, Ino is laying the utensil on the dinning table, as for I grab the plates then headed to the dinning room.
"So you two have plans tonight"Dad came in with a pint of beer in his hands.
"Yes, Kizashi-san the guys and Temeri is heading back to the sand tomorrow plus she heard the news of this pinkie and wants to see her before she leaves" Ino sat down to her seat next to mom seat.
"Dad you should know that Ino is the queen of spreading new, rumours basically anything that include taking" we all laugh to my confession mom came in with the food so we started digging in,.
I come to realise that this reunion will be short, and sadly I have a short time to be with my parents before I go back, sometimes I blame myself for not during my true feelings like Naruto did, it does harm me even my family especially when they know I'm not truthful to them, this is what Ino meant earlier harming others, I should make the most of my time before I continue my mission in the NorthWest
*And see the Baka of yours too* My inner self always butts in with my emotion does she
*Shut it, his with Hinata with that he wont have time for me*
*So…? Even so your still his team and you just came back to the Village, you still think I dunno your thought? your emotion is my emotion and I'm bolder side of you*
I tiredly sigh to her *I wish…*
The real reason I left, yes it was because of the Baka but I cant stand seeing him with Hinata it's not that I hate her, but even so even when I confess to him he still thinks I'm still into Sasuke, but it was my true feeling I guess karma is real biting at me like that to reflect what I have done to him in the past, I do deserve it, although my time away from the village didn't help me one bit, instead it grew in need for the blond, I was happy that I found something to occupy my feelings and that was the mission in the NorthWest, with just today it'd fail right after I saw Naruto.
I sigh restlessly of my feelings help out with the dishes with Ino, after that we bid Goodnight to my parents and headed to Choji's restaurant I'm surely excited to see the others and see how much they have change right after I saw Naruto, The Sages, Ino and sam plus the village have change dramatically..
"What are you thinking Sakura, your too quiet for my liking to be around with me " I rubbed away her concern as I pointed my mind and smile with a sweat drop.
"You met her already, and you know how much of a handful she is" *Hey FOREHEAD! don't let me be in procession of your whole mind!?*
"What is she saying…?"
"It's about the statement that you made earlier, and I was also thinking how much the guys had change and imagining a picture in mind, sorry for being quiet Ino"
Then I sense chakra behind me before I could act, I've fallen into the jutsu a shadow jutsu to be precise then blindfolded right away, now my moments aren't mine anymore, my body is the owner of the jutsu, I walk somewhere I cant detect where I'm going now that I don't have sense of direction.
I need to think qui-
"WELCOME BACK ALIVE SAKURA!" I see everyone in the private room I so blissful for the party they created I look at my back to see Ino and Shikamaru smiling at me.
Normal Pov
At this point sakura is tearing up with blissful tears, without knowing that Naruto eyes is examining her features and her action, while Hinata next to him notice that and isn't please still afraid that Naruto will go for his pink headed teammate with now wavy hair that covers her back midway.
"I could have killed you Shikamaru, if you were slower"The pink headed stated to the genius as she playfully punch his shoulder, gaining a 'argh' from him as pain went in right away.
Everyone is now sitting on their seats filling each other glass with beer, whilst some grilling the meat, everyone is showering Sakura multiple questions, most she cant answer due to she cant catch the questions but they still having fun with games and chatting each other due to the other haven't meet each other for a while.
"Hey Sakura, you me lets have a drinking game" Kiba stood up pointing at Sakura with his glass of beer in the air, gaining a glare from Naruto but didn't do anything.
*You getting overprotective still, hmm..kit* Naruto ignored Kuruma statement, then look up to see Sakura standing with her glass accepting to the challenge.
"You'll dunno what your asking for Kiba.." She smirk as her arms hooked with Kiba doing the love shot
"Lets see Cherry blossom!" cheers coming from the room is really loud nobody cared they just want to have fun since one of there friend have came back, Sakura surprise everyone as her is no where to be seen in her glass and poke out her tongue in victory, when Kiba has one thirds left.
Everyone laugh to Kiba's lost to the kunoichi, Sai now walked to her with Ino,
"You won and this is the trophy for you, I hope it fits" making the Kunoichi confuse as they hand the 'Gift' to Sakura as she open the gift up without knowing the outcome that is going to happen, to show a a card saying Welcome back plus a maroon sheer lingerie with white lacing Sakura, and Naruto faces turn to the same colour, people was stunned and dunno what to do..
"I hope your Boyfriend will be delighted, Sakura ne? "
"I'm happy that your breast finally grew" I'm annoyed even more as the former ROOt member made that statement.
"Ino…..IM GOING TO KILL YOU! AND YOU TOO SAI!"
As the night went by memories were create in different categories, some drunk some tipsy whilst some are just eating BBQ drinking just water.
Naruto Pov
I notice that Sakura cheek has a slight pink from drinking challenges, how strong is her in take though, even though facing to Temeri whilst chatting making me only see her side blocking by some locks of her now wavy, I grew to love it again preferring it more from the old hairstyle.
" Naruto-Kun, I want to bed" Hinata cling my arm to state her demand, I ignore by getting the meat with my chopsticks putting the sweet meat into the mouth.
" Naruto-Kun….? " I sigh
"Sir! Can I have some Sake please…" Sakura shouted her order, I look at her as see sense someone looking her green eyes shined into mine, and smile right to me and months a hello to me, and smile right away that I got her attention, She stand and come at the opposite side of the table of me and Hinata.
"Hello Hinata-chan, I hope your enjoying this, I see that your stuffing your face Naruto"
"Sakura-san, why are you back?" I was shock by the Hyuga.. "Would you mind I'm taking to Naruto-kun" I look at Sakura who was stunned by threat that she got and definitely dumbfounded
"Hinata!"
"What Naruto-kun, you think I didn't notice you eyeing at Sakura-san when you got the time"
"I haven't seen her for years and she's my teammate, Hinata"
"Hinata-chan I sorry if I made you uncountable, but I'm his teammate as he just said"
"So..It cant help that I hate that you get more his att="Neji was behind Hinata and grab her ears.
"I'm sorry this Sakura-san, this is your party I really don't want to destroy this, I'll take my leave"
"Neji I'll bring her ho-" "No, you should stay you haven't seen your teammate long you have the right to stay " Neji bid farewell to Sakura, dragging Hinata with him as he said his goodbye to everyone and left, the sake came right after they left making Sakura go back to her seat and joined the others, sigh I cant help these feeling can I..? I drift to a daydream with the disturbance of Kurama right at my face.
*Kit, you wont I know your mind well enough sometime better than you*
" I feel bad against Hinata, though" Kurama nose blew air
*I dont like her, but I understand you kit ,sooner or later you need to break it to her. Years past without seeing this vixen and now seeing her your heart pounds louder than last time and when you are wit the Hyuga girl*
"But still…"
*No butts, wake up and joined the other, you should celebrate with the others be social, you haven't been social since the relationship started * I come to realise to Karuma statement, I have become selfish with this relationship with Hinata, since we started dating I was always with her as she wanted my attention and I always did what she wanted making her spoiled, making me unsociable until Sakura came back I feel like my true self, her presence is what makes me, ME and HInata couldn't provide that at all other making me feel bleak..
But how am I going to get out from this mess that I have made "Shit," I sigh getting tired to my problem then look at the side where the gang are having drink games, I sigh again I move to where all of them are and joined them, and had fun right away laughing most of the hours that night, I didn't had this much enjoyment for a long while.
"Can I have the Sake please" I raise my glass to the air waiting to be poured
" Mind me, Naruto..? " now with red cheeks pouring my drink was pouring the sake into my glass and sat down next to me holding her glass in front of me to poor the sake.
"Sure, Are you okay..?" tilting the bottle to pour the liquid into her glass
"I think I'm fine, bit tipsy though" She smile then hooking her arms with mine, I frown to her comment noting that I'll have to send her home.
"Cheers" "Cheers. Naruto"
-Time skip -
We all got kicked of by Choji's girlfriend, when she saw him drunk the restaurant at 1 in the morning plus knowing it will be all in his tab, the party made everyone drunk especially the boy and after that Sakura even though she had drank more than the boys did, opposite to me I drank a little bit.
We all bid a drunk or tipsy farewell to our houses, I see Sakura skipping around singing loudly holding the gift, I would lie if I haven't imagine her in the lingerie that Ino brought, wearing it in full glory showing all her curves that I have imagine, I walk towards her took hold of bag that have her gift.
"OH, Naruto…" She spinning right before me,
"I'll walk you home, Sakura-chan" I use my ordering voice knowing that she cant backfire to this tune of voice, but she tilt her head to smile to me and month a Thank you.
The walk didn't have any conversation, but looking at a free spirit giving no damn to the world dancing and skipping around plus singing I enjoyed it, I love it love to see her enjoying her time to be herself and not being uptight about things plus her singing is like honey to me, even though would disagree with me, then I look I couldn't find her at all, panicking to everywhere I look I couldn't see her until I heard her whine in pain I ran to the whine.
"You okay, Sakura !?" I see that she had tried and fell having cuts at her knee I pick her up right away bridal style, she was squeamish for my help, but stopped plus sighing at the same time, knowing she cant win against my stubborn side.
"I'm sorry to bother you, and I made you two fight"
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it" She frowned to my comment then pitch both of my cheek hard.
"Ow! Whats that for?"
"Hinata is your girlfriend, don't be bored of her" Ignoring that I kept quiet as I went to her house, we were in front her place I jump up in front of her window opened it and went in her room, I let her go on her bed, dropping her gift on her table and headed out from her window, but I felt the tension of her holding my shirt as she pulls it I turn to see her face red from the alcohol she stood up.
"Thank you Naruto, even though you don't have to come all the way to my room, I surely miss you Baka" she made a toothy grinned mocking mine in a way made me laugh to her actions, a drunk Sakura is lovable still.
Sakura Pov
*If your going to do something do it now, before I do* d-dont you dare …
"let me do this when I'm bit drunk" I whispered ignoring the fact Naruto could hear me and looking at me as if was talking to a ghost, I giggle right away the expression is funny, grabbing one side of his cheek I gave him a kiss on his cheek "Thank you" then push him out my room, next dropping into my bed, not giving a damn of what I just did and the stuffs on bed I slowlyyy.. drift away…
Naruto Pov
I landed on my feet after being pushed out the room, surprised at this Kunoichi actions did she just kiss my cheek I touch my cheek that linger her lips touch….Am I drunk or am I dreaming...?
