I thank Sakura12 for the awesome chapter title...THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Plus, if any of you other readers got an idea about the chapter title or any little details, please speak out! (in a review ;D you guys know how much I love them) However, no one can really influence the whole plot line in general, cause I allowed that last time and it got a little out of hand.BUT THANKS ANYWAYS GUYS!!!
The NaruHina and the ShikaIno are just put in there for a little twist and comic relief. Hope you guys don't mind and enjoy that as well! There also may be a triangle later on. :P

Sasuke stared. Sakura stared. And then at the same time...
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HERE?!"
Both huffed and crossed their arms, like little children. Then again, the same time...
"I'm NHairnuattoa's friend!" (a.n- a mix of "naruto" and "hinata" if you didn't notice. XP sounds interesting, eh?)
Freakish how they say it at the same time, Ino thought, glad that thoughts were private.
Naruto laughed nervously, breaking up the pointed glares they were giving each other. "Well eh...I see everyone's um...ready for the movie?"
Sakura turned away from her offending rival and gave a fake laugh. "Ahaha...yea, thanks for inviting us, Naruto, Hinata."
"Y-yes, N-Naruto-kun...thank you so much!" Hinata blushed scarlet. She never quite got used to being around Naruto, although the whole group spent six years together at the same schools.
Naruto scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. H-Hinata's so cute, he surreptitiously thought. "Ehehe...just "Naruto," Hinata! Just wait here a sec, gotta get the tickets." The blonde bounced away humming a weird, unidentified tune in a blur of orange shirt and black cargo pants. This left the group feeling awkward in silence.
"Well," Ino said, suddenly grabbing Shikamaru's arm, who gave a startled "Hey!" The flashy purple and mauve-outfitted teen gave a sneaky side grin at her pink-haired friend, who registered it uncomfortably. What's Ino planning? Sakura wondered.
"Well," Ino began again, ignoring Shikamaru's protests. "I thought now we could have some time to plan out the rest of our evening! The movie, and then dinner. I'll pay, got it?" She looked around the group, looking for disagree-ers and gave a final grin. There was some queenly commandment in her voice somehow, and when Ino got that plotting look on her face, everyone knew to agree and go with the flow.
"And now, let's see who'll sit with who. I, go with Shikamaru obviously. And since Hinata and Naruto absolutely belong to each other (here Hinata gave a little squeak of fright) that leaves...hmm...Sasuke and Sakura."
Sakura inwardly slapped her forehead. What's gotten into Ino? I thought she would've tried to pair herself with Sasuke, seeing as she likes him so much. Gah! I should've known. She wants me to get over the duets by befriending Sasuke and sitting next to him...Argh. Like that'll ever happen.
Sasuke stared at the conniving female. Hormonal females...well, I'm glad one fangirl's been crossed off the list. Ugh...but Sakura. She's even more annoying then the fangirls. Not that she ever bothers me, heck she doesn't talk to me - but her skill in orchestra does. Ha! It's as if that idiotic blonde's planning to get Sakura and I reconciled...like that'll ever happen.
"No disagreements? No disagreements at all?" Ino piped up cheerily, looking around. Without giving any chances to respond, she said, "That's great! Here comes Naruto with the tickets!" Turning to the just-arrived Naruto, she asked. "What's the movie?"
"'Plague of the Dead.' Hey, great movie Hinata! Heard it got three out of three with the critics. Or was it five? Ten? Ah, whatever. Let's go!" Naruto exclaimed, passing out the little slips of green paper.
The guys trailed after the hyper blonde while Ino turned around to face Hinata. "A horror movie?!" she whisper-shrieked, her face draining of color. "I thought it was just action!"
Hinata spluttered, "Well, sort of both. And a bit of comedy and romance...you see, I like this kind of stuff."
Sakura laughed. "Well who would of thought? Hinata liking horror-action-comedy-romances." The girls joined the laughter and followed the boys. Once they were in and chose their seats, Sakura saw that she would indeed have to sit by Sasuke because everywhere else was full. Her merriment quickly faded away...but at least there was one thing that counted as a good thing. Haruno Sakura loved horror movies.
But then, Uchiha Sasuke was thinking something entirely different.
Horror. Great. No one knows this, but I...the great violinist, l337 sk8ter, and a obsessed-over fangirl-stalked guy...am scared of scary movies. Well, they're scary! Who can blame me? No one better find out. Besides, being the undignified girl she is, Sakura will probably freak out. That way, I can mask my own horror and get time to compose myself in the commotion she makes when the bad parts come.
When they were all seated (in order, Naruto, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Sasuke from left to right facing the screen) and the commercials were through, Sasuke began to relax when the movie started. There were scenes of a couple strolling through a flowery park and falling asleep together on a stone bench. Pleasant music streamed along as the screen showed the couple holding hands, asleep while leaning against each others shoulders.
Then suddenly the music stopped and a 'BANG' sounded from the projector, which caused the audience to gasp. Menacing music poured in through the speakers and the couple's eyes shot open in sync. The camera zoomed in and the audience saw, with another unified gasp, that their eyes were slowly turning red. Then, the couple bared their teeth, which were transforming into a jagged set most commonly associated with werewolves.
Sakura was thoroughly bored as the movie progressed. She expected a lot more blood and just leaned back in her chair, occasionally yawning. To her amusement though, was that from the corner of her eyes, Sasuke and Ino turned the color of soured milk when the now-zombified couple started jumping at strollers in the park and ripping them apart. But, Sasuke, the arrogant school prince, the stuck-up but talented violinist, turning bright Day-Glo white in the face at a pathetic, C-Rank horror movie? It wasn't that scary, in Sakura's opinion, although there was plenty violence and its sound-affects.
The horror-movie expert inwardly smirked and patted herself on the back. I'll preserve Sasuke's current face outlook in my memory forever. And...publicize his fright to the public! The world will know and I will have my vengeance! Wait...what vengeance? Ah, nevermind. Reword! THE WORLD WILL KNOW AND I WILL TRIUMPH!!! MUAHAHAHAHA! Sakura thought and laughed, not knowing that the laugh was out loud.
Everyone in the audience turned back to face the roseate-haired teen with odd look on her face. Sakura gave a small gasp and covered her mouth. "Sorry," she whispered to the onlookers, who turned back to the screen, muttering little complaints to their friends. Ino turned to her friend and hissed, "This guy's just got his head ripped off and you're laughing?! Girl, I know you love horror movies, but you think that's funny?!"
Sakura whispered back nervously, "Hehe...yea...erm...I mean...OH! Whatever. I'll info-matize you on the reason later. Just keep watching, act like its normal." The teen sighed and leaned back into her seat and watched the rest of the zombie-holocaust going on. An exorcist comes to the rescue! Gets his head ripped off, pity him, blah blah blah...WHOO! Look at his foot fly through the air...is that an eye rolling? Everything seemed a boring, disinteresting blur to Sakura. She saw scarier movies.
And then...through her peripheral vision, she saw Sasuke head slump to the side. Ugh. He's sleeping during a movie, how rude. Maybe I his previous white pallor was just nausea from a bad meal before. How disappointing, I thought he was really scared. Hey! I should wake him up, just to spite him.
Sakura leaned over and elbowed him sharply in the ribs without anyone else noticing. He didn't stir, so she repeated the oh-so-kind gesture three more times. Funny, my elbows are famous for giving people wake-up calls.
Then, Sakura realized the truth.
"OH MY GOD, SASUKE FAINTED! AHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" she shrieked, clutching her stomach with choked laughter.
Some of the more considerate people in the audience helped the group carry Sasuke (and Sakura, who wouldn't get up from the floor cause she was laughing so much (people thought she was 'disturbed')) out of the theater. Naruto and Shikamaru assured the girls that they would bring Sasuke to the hospital, so the group split up and went home.
Sakura refused Ino's ride and walked home, saying that she needed some time alone. On the starlit walk, Sakura kept recalling Sasuke's white face and the fainting spell and laughed to herself occasionally. She knew that if she DID ride with Ino, Ino would've thought she'd gone crazy because of the laughing. It was a MUST-THINK-ABOUT kind of thing that everyone, no matter how hard they try not to, thinks about it and ends up laughing, crying, etc.
When Sakura arrived home, she hugged her mom, hugged her dad, and rushed up to her bedroom to commit her memories and a sketch of Sasuke's pained face to paper.
As she prepared for bed, she grinned. Today was heaven for me, but hell...for Uchiha Sasuke, my much-loved rival.
