"Im not coming out" Sakura yelled from inside the stall. She and Tenten had waited till the others left because Sakura and begged Tenten to just wait. The girl didn't understand but shrugged and waited with her anyway. Finally going in and then spending the next few minutes trying to convince Sakura that the bikini would fit her.
Tenten might be a little smaller than her but not by much.
Now Sakura had baracaded herself in the stall and refused to come out claiming that the suit was definatly too small for her.
"Just open the dorr so I can see what you look like"
"No. Im serious Tenten this thing is showing way too much it barely covers anything." Sakura ranted she was looking down at the teeny bits of ffabric that covered her lightly tanned skin. Thank god she went tanning. Not all the time but enough to maintain what little color she had and make sure she had no tan lines. That giftcard to the tanning salon she got for her birthday from her Aunt Tsunade was a blessing she realized.
"Oh my god Sakura you look so freaking HOT!"
Sakura was startled out of her thoughts as she looked up and screame covering herself as best she could with her arms.
"TENTEN!"
There was her partner looking over the wall of the stall. Apparently having had enough of waiting and simply went into the next stall and got on the toilet seat to peek at her.
"Seriously Sakura it looks good. The guys are gonna be drooling. Where have you been hiding that body. Im serious. "
Sakura sighed and walked out of the stall stopping to stare at herself in the floor length mirrror provided in the bathroom. It was a little distorted being a little cheap. More like a piece of really shiney metal that had been fixed to the wall to pass as a mirror. But it reflected enough for her to see
There she was wearing the first bikini she had ever dared to try on. The bathing suirt she had bought was a once piece. Still not trusting her body to have looked good in one. But she had to admit that it wasn't so bad once she saw herself.
It was plain black triangle squares covered her C cups. Not huge but not small either. the strings wraping around to tie at her back and her neck. The bottome piece tied on the sides leaving the strings to dangle along her hips.
The next thing she knew her hair was being pulling out of it's bun. Unfurling as it fell down her back.
"What are you doing?" she asked her partner
"Making you look even hotter. You really shouldn't hide yourself like that besiedes you hair is gorgeous."
Sakura just stared at her reflection watching in the mirror as Tenten ran her fingers through Sakrua's hair spreading it out and untangling it a bit. She had always thought of herself as plain. Nothing really special so she ignored Tenten's comment about being hot. She worked out because it was good for her and did yoga. As she thought about her appearance she noticed that she seemed more curvy than she initially thought of herself. An hourglas figure with long toned legs. She pulled off her glasses and held them in her hands while she waited for Tenten to finish with her hair. Finally blowing out a breath of frustration and walking over to her bag and putting her galsses in the case and then putting it away and grabbing her things To haad out.
"Lets do this befor I chicken out."
Wrapping up her hair and stuffing it in the dome of a large wide brim hat she had brought with her. Much to Tenten's dismay.
The girls walked out.
The beach wasn't all the full yet. but the sun was out and it was a clear day. The briney air assaulted their nosed as a breeze wafted over the sands. the soft powedery sand gave out undertheir feet making walking feel a little cumbersome but they grinned anyway as they made their way towards the group.
There was already a group bumping a volley ball around a circle and some guys throwing a football back and forth. Some of the sheer were sitting up watching them while the rest had lain back to soak up the sun. Another group of girls squealed as they jumped through an on coming wave that splashed against their backs. Some of the guys were watching this. No doubt to see the girls breast bouncing.
Tenten gave her a knowing grin.
"Don't worry soon they are going to be watching us."
"Uh, sure." Sakura said a little unbelieving.. No guys ever looked at her like that. She just rolled her eyes and spread out her towel once they found a spot.
As they settled down a strong wind whipped across the beach Sakura placed a hand on her hat to keep it from blowing away but was startled when a volley ball fell into her lap. Automati ally letting go of the hat too grab the ball. Then regretting it almost imeadiately as her hat flew off she quickly stuffed the balll in an equally surprised Tenten's hands and went chasing after her hat which must to her dismay was headed right for the cheer group and their boyfriends. Red hair caught her attention.
"Oh no!" she squealed running as quickl as she could trying to catch the hat befor it blew into them. 'Please let me get it please let me get it' she chanted in her her head. But it was too late It smacked right into back making him turn around.
He hhad been lughing listening to Kankuro talk about a movie they had gone to see when he felt something hit his back. Turning around to grab at whatever it was he found a wide brimmed woven hat behind him.
"What thefu..." he trailed off as he looked up and found the most beautiful emerald eyes staring back at him. vaguely aware of the loos pink tresses being blown in the wind.
He was stuck.
He had never seen eyes like that befor. They seemed to pull him in but he couldn't move he just sat there dumbly holding the hat staring at the girl coming towards him. She had lightly tanned legs that seem to go for miles and shapely hips her waist was small and he could see the outsine of some abs. Not too defined They were still feminie but in his opinion still soft. Perfect. The round globes of of her breats barely covered by that top he thought sheoud be illegal as it barely covered her, but he wasn't going to complain. He had seen some hot girls befor but none of them looked that good in a two piece. He thought he recognized her but as he let the faces of his classmates run through his brain no one came to mind.
She approached him her eyes a little wary, shy, and awkward.
"Can I please get my hat?" he heard her ask, but still couldn't move. He just stared at her blankly. She stood there for a few minutes glaninga around them awkwardly before just reaching down and taking the hat from his hands.
"Hey forehead watch where your shit goes" He heard his sister Temari yell behind him. "Forhead?' he thought to himself turning to look behind him in question just as he felt the hat being pulled from his hands. Turning quickly back to see the girl hug the bat to her chest and see her glaring over his shoulder then look to him and mutter a quick thanks before turning and walking off. His eyes widned as she watched her ass sway from side to side his hand fell to the sand grabbing a handfull as eh momentarily thought about giving it a sueeze. At that moment he felt his brothers hand slap down to grasp his shoulder both watching the retreating girl.
"Who knew she was hiding that underneath all those clothes?"
Gaara turned his head in confusion. He was pretty sure if he had ever seen that girl he woule dhave noticed. There was no way eyes like that could escape his line of sight. Or that ass for that matter. But he still coldn't figure out who it was. He was that lost.
"Who was that?" he asked.
Kankuro just gave him a blank stare for a few seconds then gestured his other hand towards the girl.
"Dude. Foureyes."
Gaara blinked and turned back only to see her grab the volleyball from her friend and set her hat down securing it with her backpack so it dodn't blow away. Then he saw someone walking towards her and a streak of jealosy rippled through him.
Sasuke, with his cool smile. He had been captain of the football team and homecoming king. All the girls loved him. He heard it enough from the gagge of girls his sister often had over. Their noisy squealing echoing through her door and down the hallway to his room. Them swooning over various guys in their class. But Sasuke was the one most often brought up. What they didn't know was. Sasuke was an asshole. A lying cheating womizer. Who bragged in the locker room about his conquests. Leaving the girl soon after he got what he wanted.
He really hoped this girl would see past all that but felt his eyes narrow as she watched her smile beautifully as she handed the ball over. They exchanged a few words then she looked back and beconed her friend and they joined the group playing circle volleyball.
He watched them for a while. His eyes honing in on her lithe body. She didn't seem all that athletic, at least not able to play volleyball really well. He had frowned severeal times seeing Sasuke show her how to stand and hit the ball. 'Dude how hard is it to hit a volleyball?' He wondered.
He watched as Sasuke and the girl broke free from the group and started talking a few minutes later the girl ran over to her friend and then turned to the gorup and said something else then about half of them all smiled really big and they ran as a group to the ociean while the rest tightened the circle and kept playing. He growled almost inaudibly as he saw Sasuke heft the girl up over his shoulder and start running for the water while she screamed at him.
'Why was he so jealous. He didn't understand. Well, sort of. Thos eyes. He couldn't get over them. He wanted those eyes to look at him. and see only him. He picked up some sand and threw it. Yea right ..never going to happen. She probably hated his guts for how much he had teased her over the years. Not to mention how much his siblings has teased her.
He looked a way from them refusing to let something he couldn't change anger him. He had spent enough time being angry in his life
His mother had died while giving brth to him. His father resented him for this. Blaming him for every wrong thing that had ever happened to them. Gaara was sure if it hadn't been for Temari and Kankuro always reassuring him and being there for him overthe years he would have probably killed himself just to gete away from all the pain. He knew they were the only ones who loved him. Everyone else could kiss his ass. By the time highschool came he alreaddy had a reputation for beating up kids and had a record in the juvenile system.
Grrowing up in the unkind rural slums of Suna city could do that to a person though. It was a fight or be beaten to a pulp kind of place. Really it was a miracle they had escaped unscaythed. Not so lucky for their father who had been killed for the money in his wallet by some street bum on his way home from the factory.
Gaara had to give it to the old man though. He did do one kindness to him.
When the sibling found out that there father had been killed their first reaction was just to be stunned. None of them reallly liked their father because he beat them all. Just Gaara the most. And they had to take care of themselves. Temari had dropped out of school to get jobs just so they could buy clothess for the three of them and both had refused to let Gaara do any such thing. They had made him promise them he would stay in school and he did. He woud do anything for them.
This news however did not please social services who finally after their father's death found out about their situation. And the siblings sfaced a new fear.
Being seperated.
But this was not to happen. Come to find out his old man had a will. It stated that upon there graduation from h oighschool or their eighteenth birthday which ever came first his pension from the factory would be split three ways. And that in the event should something happen to him befor they were of age they were not ot be split.
Crisis averted. Who knew? The three had been so surprised that sommething like that had been done by him. They had though he hated them. Gaara most of all. But it didn't matter anymore. no one could split them up it was set in stone and no one would dispute their fathers will.
a family in Konoha, a neighboring city had offered to adopt them all under the stipulation that they all go to school. The three weren't stupid. They knew how hard it would be to find another home. And this one just had to be pure luck to have happened in the first place. No one adopted teens unless they were estranged long long family members or something. So they agreed. Hence why they were all in the same grade. Not that his brother or sister cared. They were together. Thats what mattered.
The man that had adopted them was an old rich writer who had a house with more rooms than he needed. So on a whim decided he would simply adopt some needy kids to fill the space.
"He oofed as he was startled out of his thoughts when a football landed in his lap.
"Sorry bro I tried yelling at ya but you must have been in the zone man."
Gaara looked up and blinked at his brother distracted once again by something entirely different. Kankuro had purple lines made up of some thick paste all over his face.
"What happened to your face?" he asked as he tossed the football at his brother.
"Oh... Ino got carried away with some kind of sunscreen stick she picked up." He shrugged grinning stupidly.
Gaara got up and started walking down to the water to get a way from them for a bit.
"You look like a dumbass." He called over his shoulder.
"Whatever bro Im BADASS!" afterwhich he followed up by flexing then yelling
"Yo Shika! Go long" and threw the ball at a guy down the beach with his arms crossed over his chest who just watched the ball fly over his head.
"Oh come on man It was right there why didn't you catch it?" Kankuro yelled at him
Gaara walked backwards watching the scene just turning around the the lazy guy muttered something about things being lame before he turned to go get the ball.
Shaking his head Gaara turned around as well then stopped in his tracks.
He was stuck again.
She ws coming out of the water her pink hair made darker by the water was slicked back exposing her entire face. Her dark green eyes like jewels glittered in th sun and rivulet of water sparkled on her lightly tanned skin. And oh god.. she must have been cold because despite the dark fabric it did nothing to hide her now pert nipples that just begged for him to warm them with his mouth.
He had to clear his throat and started walking again. Better see how cold that water really was real uick befor he embarassed himself by getting a hardon on the beach for everyone to see.
"Sakura! Hey Sakura!" he heard behind him turning to see the spikey haired nerd boy that was his partner running down the beach waving a cellphone in his hand as he ran towards and then past him.
He turned just intime to see the girl turning her head and stop as the kid ran up to her.
"Hey can you cover my shift tonight at the video store? Choji just called and invited me to his birthday dinner and they are going to the Ramen house. You have to let me go please please please cover my shift and I wil; do anything you want I swear please SSakura?" He heard nerd boy whine as he fell to his knees and begged her.
She laughed then and Gaara had to take a deep breath. Her laugh was like ambrosia to his ears. It wasn't whiney or nasaly like a lot of the girls he knew. She didn't cackle or sound like a witch. It was soft but full at the same time and rang like heavenly bells in his ears.
'She was turning him into mush like some pansy' he thought.
And as he continued to walk down the the water he had to admit that maybe being partners with nerd boy wasn't going to be so bad after all.
Sakura and tenten walked up the beach after telling Naruto that she would cover his shift if he brought her some ssoup on his way home. to which he thanked her prefusely.
She just giggled and shook her head at her overly excitable best friend. She probably would have done him the favor for free.
As the girls sat down Sakura reached in her bag and pulled out a Dr. Pepper and popped it open taking a drink and then sighing happily.
"I thought today was going to be a bust. Im so glad I was wrong."
"See I told you. You look hot. I meean seriously you've got Sasuke drooking all over you."
Sakura just rolled her eyes.
"Whatever he can have any girl he wants. He would never go for someone like me.
"Hey Sakura!" she heard her name being yelled. Turning to look down the beach only to see the guy they were talking about walking towards them. She ws then elbowed by her partner and heard her whisper
"Told you."
She just smiled but tensed a little as Sasuke got closer.
"Hey you beautiful ladies mind if I join you to eat lunch?"
Sakura just sat there a dumbfounded and unsure. Never in all her life had anyone ever from the opposite sex called her beautiful. It wasn't until she heard Tenten tell him yes that she snapped out of it.
"Oh yea totally. Take a seat."
He smiled wide at them and sat down with his things. right next to Sakura. It wasn't very long before they were joined by a few others that they had ben playing volleyball with. But she found it really hard to pay attentiont o what any of them were waying. She had just seen him over Sasuke's shoulder.
Gaara was walking out of the water glistening from head to toe and holy ermagerd did he look good. She watched as he roughly ruffled his hair with his hand causing a spray of water to whip out then run his fingers through that same hair smoothing it out. She sighed she wanted to run her finers through that hair so bad she had to look away just intime to hear Sausuke taking to her.
"Huh? Sorry I didn't catch that. What did you say?"
He looked confused but smilied a little boyishly.
"I asked what you were doing on friday. Was ondering maybe if you wanted to go to the movies or something?"
Her heartbeat picked up. Did he just ak her out on a date? A dadte .. with Sasuke? The most popular guy in school. Holy crap. She knew there were girls at the school who would die to be in her place and all she could do at the moment was wish it was Gaara instead. But she also knew that would never happen. And here was a guy who wanted to ask her out. Yea she knew he had a rep but at the moment she also didn't care. A DATE!
""Yea sure" she tried to sound cool about it. But what happened next made her blush and giggle like one of the fake plastic cherleaders she hated so much. But she loved it at the same time. He had reached his arm around her shoulders and pullered her closer while giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.
Things were definatly looking up. Even as a pair of teal eyes flashed in her brain she quickly squashed them down and refused to think about the boy she could never have. And instead began to focus on the one that had his arms around her.
