x---------x----------x-------x-----------x----x
Sakura was a good kunoichi. She studied, was never late to training, and always tried to deepen her chakra control. She did not drink, nor did she party as the other rookies did - yeah, she was a good girl. Now, her best friend, Ino, was quite the opposite of her - yeah, she was a good kunoichi, studied hard, but she also partied hard, and often stirred trouble - something she had taken a liking to, ever since being in Naruto's company. Yes, Naruto had corrupted her best friend.
But since their mission last week, Ino had been disappearing from the village, appearing late to her training, and sometimes, cancelled her lunch dates with her friend - she'd return to the village with a dreamy smile on her face. Now, Sakura was sure Ino was hiding something, because when she'd ask, Ino would just smirk before saying, "Its nothing forehead girl." And she'd smile dreamily. Sakura knew that she and Neji had a thing going on, but she wondered if Neji was the cause of her happiness. But when Sakura asked Neji, he had stared at her impassively, so she quickly ruled that out -- what was Ino hiding from her friend? It irked Sakura to no end.
It annoyed her when she saw Ino dragging Naruto with her, and she wondered if they were having an affair behind Neji's back. Tenten had told her not to worry about it - that they were probably planning some crazy prank, and Hinata assured Sakura that they were not having sex, or fooling around behind Neji's back - Ino and Neji had a solid relationship - they trusted each other. But still…Sakura wasn't convinced, she knew something was going on behind her back - and her best friends still kept their little secret from her.
She was going to find out one way or another.

"Saku-raaa!" Naruto said in his best wheedling voice.
"No, go away. I'm busy."
"You wanna know the secret - the secret piggie and I know?"
That got her attention. "Yes." Of course she wanted to - she'd been hoping that one day they'd tell her.
Naruto grinned a sly grin. "Then come with me."
Sakura put her scrolls away, and followed Naruto out of her apartment. When they reached the gates of the village, Sakura turned to face Naruto and Ino. "This better not get me in trouble."
Ino smirked. "Oh, after I show you this, even if we do get caught, you're going to worship the ground I walk on."
Sakura sighed, grumbling under her breath as she, Naruto and Ino left the village. They continued towards their unknown destination in silence, until they reached a crumbling ladder that was built into a crumbling stone wall. Sakura was sure that they were far away from the village, and that they'd probably return to the village around sunset - for, it was already midday. Sakura eyed the ladder, before glancing back at Ino. "It looks unstable."
Ino snorted, "So? I've already been up here many times."
Sakura sent Ino an incredulous look before looking at the ladder once again. Hell, she had already come this far, so why not see this through? She began to climb the ladder, and she heard her companions follow her.
When they reached the top, Sakura held her breath, noticing how high they were. They were all seated on the wall - taking some time to get themselves together, when Ino grinned at her, and pointed in front of her. "Lookie,"
Sakura gazed down at the stone wall enclosed area. It wasn't very big, maybe only sixteen square meters, but what made it intriguing was the natural waterfall at one end. It was extremely beautiful, but Sakura didn't know why they were here. "Why are we here?"
Naruto smirked. "You'll see."
Ino smirked as well. "Hush or we'll miss the show."
Sakura was confused. What the hell? She blinked, her eyes widening when she saw the door open and the man of her dreams step through it. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt, and a pair of black pants, which, she noticed were tight on his lower body. The shirt was damp with sweat, and was clinging to his body. Sakura's mouth dropped, and she could see Ino and Naruto grinning at her from the corner of her eye, but damn…She couldn't take her eyes of the fascinating site below.
"Oh my god." She mouthed to Ino. Ino just smirked, and shrugged. No wonder she had come back to the village smiling dreamily. Uchiha Sasuke was a walking wet dream - and it was no secret that every single woman in the village had a crush on him, and since he'd returned from Sound, well, he was sexier.
Ino smirked. "I know, I know."
Sakura's mouth dropped open again when Sasuke stripped off his shirt. "Oh, my!" She nearly fainted as she stared the beautiful chest of her childhood crush. This was a sight that no one should be denied.
Completely unaware of the three pairs of eyes watching his every move, Sasuke had stripped down to his bare skin. He stepped under the waterfall, and turned as he let the water sluice over his sweaty body. Ino and Sakura watched, making little sighs of awe and amazement as he brought his hands up, rubbing them across his stomach, wiping the dirt and grime away.
The sighs became outright whimpers as Sasuke slid his hands down his trim stomach and grasped his manhood with one hand, lifting it to let the water run between his legs. Sakura swore she'd died and gone to heaven - not only was she seeing Sasuke naked, but she now knew something that only she, Ino and Naruto knew. There were more sighs as he turned around - and they had a lovely view of his firm backside. A whimper escaped Sakura's lips.
Sasuke stepped out of the water, and stretched one more time before walking over to a rock, where a towel laid, and picked it up. Wrapping it around his waist, Sasuke was unaware of the disappointed moans as he hid his crowning glory from the view of the slightly obsessive women.
"I wish i were the towel," Sakura whispered, sighing dreamily as Sasuke disappeared from view.
Ino grinned. "Same time tomorrow?"
Sakura smiled dreamily. "Hell yes."
The End.
