Rated M for Hidan's language


So maybe her summer was looking up a bit, Sakura mused to herself as she allowed Sasuke to drag her down the hallway. She had obviously been going too slow for his tastes, and he had grabbed her hand again.

She had seriously forgotten how good looking Sasuke's brother was, and was it her, or did he seem a smidgen bit interested in her back there? That thought itself mentally thrilled her, and she was walking on cloud nine as they continued their way to the backyard.

"You're keeping the door connected to the bathroom locked at all times," Sasuke said as they turned a corner. Sakura tried to remember the path the two were taking down the hallways, but there were too many hallways… she hoped she didn't get lost.

"But how will I go to the bathroom then, Sasuke?" Sakura asked with an eyebrow raise. Even if it looked like she wasn't listening to him, she totally was. She may be walking on cloud nine, but that didn't mean she could ignore Sasuke's fatherly lecture.

She could only multitask a few things at once though, so she knew she wouldn't be able to remember which hallway to turn down to get back to their rooms.

"… You'll use mine," Sasuke said after a moment of thinking.

Sakura snorted before pulling her arm free from Sasuke's grasp. "You're being ridiculous Sasuke," Sakura said. "This is Itachi we're talking about… your college-aged older brother, and I'm just a senior in high school... "

"Exactly," Sasuke said with a slight shudder. "I refuse to let my idiot brother corrupt you."

"Shouldn't we have waited for Naruto?" Sakura asked while she crossed her arms over her chest and expertly ignored Sasuke's last comment. Sakura was sure the air conditioning would have felt awesome, if she were wearing more clothes. Sasuke had kidnapped her so quickly she hadn't even had time to grab a shirt to use as a cover up. She hadn't even grabbed a towel either…. "And you didn't let me grab a towel either."

"The Dobe'll find us in another half an hour," Sasuke said, and Sakura noticed the tenseness in the shoulders leave. "Shizune probably had a pot of ramen on the stove for him because she knew we were coming today. And we have towels by the pool already."

"Shizune is?" Because Sakura for the life of her couldn't remember her at all.

"She's the house caretaker while we're gone," Sasuke said with a slight shrug as he turned down another hallway. Sakura just followed him, already deciding that she'd need him to make her a map for later. "She actually has her own house in town, but she likes to come here and make us meals and clean up the house even while we're here."

"… So I don't have to cook you dinner every night?" Sakura asked with a slight grin, because really, she had been expecting that.

"Well maybe once in a while," Sasuke conceded, because Sakura knew how much Sasuke and Naruto liked her cooking. There was a reason Naruto was at her house for dinner five out of seven nights of the week. "… But you don't have to worry about making desserts."

"Just because you don't like sweets Sasuke, doesn't mean that everyone else won't appreciate them," Sakura said, and she ignored the pout on his face like a pro. "And sometimes I just like to bake, okay?"

"… Fine," Sasuke said. "But only for Naruto and maybe Shizune."

"You're being ridiculous again, Sasuke," Sakura said mildly as a pair of double doors came into view. Sakura could see the backyard through the doors, and if she had thought the inside of the house was beautiful, the outside was simply breathtaking.

Through the doors, Sakura could see that the backyard was lined with trees, had a flower garden, and even had a pool. Turning her surprised eyes towards Sasuke, Sasuke just dismissed her surprise with a shake of his head.

"Father doesn't like to swim in the lake, so he had them install a pool," Sasuke said with a shrug. "We take the boat out on the lake usually, and just swim in the pool."

"…Why wouldn't your lake house have a pool?" Sakura questioned as the two walked through the double doors. "And boating?"

"Hn," Sasuke said with a nod toward where the lake was. There were two boats that were tied up to the pier, and that caused Sakura to sigh.

"Maybe this summer won't be as bad as I thought it would be," Sakura said with a grin as Sasuke lead her to the boat house. Throwing open a door, Sakura watched Sasuke grab them each a towel before laying them out on lounge chairs beside the pool.

"I think I'm going to lay out for a bit before I jump in," Sakura said as she laid down on one of the lounge chairs. Feeling the heat of the sun, Sakura smiled before she closed her eyes.

"… Did you remember sunscreen?" Sasuke questioned her, and Sakura's eyes opened quickly in shock. "Of course you didn't… I'll go in and grab some."

"You didn't remind me to pack that Sasuke," Sakura said with a frown. If she stayed in the sun for too long she would get red and blotchy. It wasn't her fault she was fair skinned.

"Hn," Sasuke said while he started to walk towards the door. Turning back for a brief second, Sasuke sent Sakura a warning glance. "If any of my brother's friends come out, just ignore them."

"Yes Dad," Sakura said while she laid out again. Sakura knew Sasuke would be quick, so she wouldn't have to worry about being in the sun for too long.

Closing her eyes, Sakura wished she would have had enough time to grab her book before Sasuke had taken her. It was beautiful out, and Sakura was almost finished with the romance book Kakashi had recommended she read.

Hearing the door to the outside open and close, Sakura was surprised Sasuke had come back so quickly. It had seemed much longer to get here from their bedrooms than that.

"Who the fuck is the hot bitch?" Sakura heard as she opened her eyes and glanced toward the door. Sakura's eyes scanned the two that stood before her; both were deliciously attractive, and Sakura found herself fangirling again.

One of the males was tall with shoulder length silver hair and stunning blueish eyes. The blue was so deep it almost bordered on purple, and Sakura had to remind herself to breathe after looking into them. Looking up and down his body, Sakura noticed his paleness, but she noticed something even more enticing: his six pack.

The other male had short brown hair and a slight scowl on his face. His eyes were a deep forest green, and his body was littered with stitch and barbed wire tattoos that had Sakura slightly salivating. There was just something about a good looking man and tattoos.

"Well bitch," the silver haired one spoke as his eyes scanned her body up and down; Sakura noticed the blue eyes turn a little bit predatory as they focused on her figure. "Who the fuck are you, and where have you been all my fucking life?"

The silver haired one's head was slapped by the brunette headed one, and Sakura had to fight a grin at the sight; they reminded her a lot of Sasuke and Naruto.

"My name's Sakura," Sakura said as she sat up in her lounge chair. The pair walked over to her, and Sakura could see the silver haired guy's eyes leering at her chest. "Who the fuck are you?"

Even though he was completely hot, his manners needed a little bit of help. If he was going to be rude to her, than she was going to be rude right back.

"My name is Hidan bitch," the silver haired one kneeled down in front of her and took her hand in his. "And fucking marry me."

The back of Hidan's head was slapped once again, and Hidan dropped her hand. Rubbing the back of his head, Hidan glared back at the brunette. "Fuck off, Kakuzu."

"Yeah yeah," the brunette, Kakuzu, grumbled. From first meetings, Kakuzu actually reminded her a little like an old man. When his deep green eyes focused on her, Sakura lost her previous thought. "I assume you are one of Sasuke's friends, Sakura?"

"I have been since preschool actually," Sakura said with a shrug. "Naruto, Sasuke, and I have been friends forever."

"You're the Sakura these fuckers always fucking talk about?!" Hidan asked in exasperation. "They never once mentioned how fucking hot you were!"

"Of course we wouldn't," Sasuke's voice drawled as he appeared by the double doors. Sakura had forgotten what Sasuke had went to go grab, but was happy to see the sunscreen as Sasuke launched it at Hidan's head. "You're a pervert."

Sakura's reaction was quicker than Hidan's, and she was able to grab the sunscreen bottle out of the air. Sasuke just rolled her eyes at her reflexes, but Kakuzu and Hidan both seemed surprised.

"Thanks Sasuke," Sakura said while she started to rub sunscreen on her body. Grinning slightly, Sakura looked down to the sunscreen bottle before she raised her eyes up to the three in front of her. "Could some body get my back, please?"

Sakura had to fight a laugh as Hidan lunged forward immediately, but then again so did Sasuke. Sasuke didn't come rushing for the sunscreen though, he instead tackled Hidan to the ground. The two began to roll somewhere in the direction of the pool, before Sakura raised an eyebrow again and sighed; boys.

Kakuzu mumbled something under his breath before he took the sunscreen bottle out of her hand and walked behind her. Sakura scooted forward a little on the lounge chair and she felt Kakuzu sit behind her. She was too focused on what Kakuzu was doing she didn't even hear when Hidan and Sasuke tumbled into the pool.

The splash of the water was drowned out by the sound of the sunscreen bottle opening, and then Kakuzu's warm, large hands were on her back, and Sakura's mind went blank.

He started at her shoulders and slowly worked his way down. His hands were soft, but firm, and Sakura couldn't help but to let out a small breath as she felt Kakuzu rub out a knot that had been near her shoulder.

When the door to the house slammed shut, Sakura's eyes opened (when had she even closed them?) and she was surprised to find Naruto there looking like someone had taken his ramen away from him.

"Naruto-"

The look was immediately replaced with a glare as Naruto started to stomp over to where she and Kakuzu sat. Oh man… this wasn't good. It seemed both Naruto and Sasuke were getting into their overprotective modes; Sakura really hoped this wasn't going to happen all summer long.

"Don't touch Sakura-Chan you stitched asshole!" Naruto yelled as he ran over to the two of them. He tried to rip the sunscreen bottle out of Kakuzu's hands, but Kakuzu was having none of that. Kakuzu's grip on the sunscreen bottle was strong, and he seemed to be very good at ignoring Naruto.

"What's with all the yelling, yeah?" a new voice said while walking out of the house. Sakura turned, ignoring the two behind her who were fighting over the sunscreen bottle like two year olds fighting over a favorite toy.

The new addition to come outside had long blond hair tied up in a high pony tail, and piercing blue eyes. His body was tan with some tight muscles that made Sakura lick her lips slightly. Kami, all of Itachi's friends were going to be gorgeous weren't they?

"They're fighting over who gets to help me put on sunscreen," Sakura said when no one else responded. Sakura watched the blond's eyes shine in surprise before they flashed in her direction.

"Well who wouldn't want to fight over that privilege," a second voice spoke from behind the blond. Sakura turned her body so she could see the person who spoke, and Sakura mentally agreed with her thought from earlier; yes, Itachi's friends all had to be gorgeous.

The man that had now caught Sakura's attention was a tanned red head with almond eyes. The eyes were staring intensely into her own, and Sakura was only able to check out his body for a second before his eyes took focus once again.

"Stop hitting on her, Sasori-Danna," the blond spoke as he pushed his lips together. "She isn't even that pretty."

"You will never understand the true art of beauty, Deidara," the red head said with a sad shake of his head. "It's sad to think that you and I are at the same college."

"Art is a bang, Sasori-Danna," Deidara said with a glare before his eyes swept across Sakura's features. "But I guess… yeah, I guess she'd be an eight, yeah."

"Your scoring system is completely wrong," Sasori said with a shake of his head. Sakura could only watch the two argue over her looks… this had certainly never happened before. "She is at least a nine."

"You're just sex deprived," Deidara snorted before Sasori smacked him in the back of the head. At the mention of sex, Sakura could feel her cheeks redden on their own; Kami, she could be so innocent sometimes.

"That's because I wait for someone who is up to my standards," Sasori said with a nod of finality as he started to walk towards where Sakura sat. Once he reached her, Sasori quickly grabbed her hand, helping her up, before he placed his lips against her hand. "My name is Sasori, and you my dear, are definitely up to my standards."

Sakura's mind was in bliss when she felt Sasori's soft lips connect with her hand; no one had ever kissed her hand before, let alone her mouth, so his actions had been completely surprising to her. Not unwelcome by any means, just surprising.

"I'm Sakura," Sakura said once she found her voice. It was in that moment that she realized everything else around the pool was quiet. Turning her eyes to scan the pool area, she noticed all eyes were directly on Sasori and herself.

"No no no no no," Naruto said while shaking his head and letting go of the sunscreen bottle. Kakuzu, who was in the middle of trying to pull the bottle out of Naruto's hands, went flying backwards from his momentum. Sakura tried not to giggle as Kakuzu ended up on the ground. "You're not going to get your filthy hands on Sakura-Chan… maybe bringing her here wasn't such a good idea Teme."

"She's the one who thought all we did was watch porn all day," Sasuke said with a sigh, even though Sakura knew Sasuke was internally agreeing with Naruto's words. "We… I just wanted to prove her wrong."

"Porn you say?" Hidan said while he started to emerge from the pool. Sakura let her eyes wander down Hidan's chest as water droplets rolled down it. "You're a curious little bitch aren't you? I'll fucking show you all the porn I have if you come to my room with me."

And Hidan's head was simultaneously smacked by three different people.

"You don't say that in the presence of a lady, you idiot," Sasori snuffed with a glare as he nodded his approval of both Naruto and Kakuzu's slaps.

"Come on man," Hidan said as he rubbed the back of his head tenderly. "Don't tell me you wouldn't want to take her into your room and-"

And now he was smacked by a fourth. "Control yourself Hidan," Itachi's voice drawled as he drew his hand back down. "I'm sure you're making Sakura-Chan feel very uncomfortable at this moment."

"Hn," Sasuke agreed with his brother even though he also sent him a glare. "You're one to talk about making her feel uncomfortable, Itachi. You're the one staying in the room next to hers."

Naruto sent his own glare at Itachi, who, in Sakura's humble opinion, looked a little smug.

"I figured Sakura-Chan would want to share a bathroom with someone who wouldn't peep on her," Itachi said with a slight shrug as he sent an accusatory look Naruto's way. "We all know who your Godfather is Naruto…"

"Hey!" Naruto yelled with a glare. "Jiraiya is a genius, okay?"

And secretly, at least a little part of Sakura had to agree with him. The book Kakashi had suggested to her was in the back of her mind, and that brought a blush to Sakura's cheeks.

"And don't tell me you don't read those, Itachi," Sasuke snorted with a glare. "Even Sakura reads Jiraiya's books."

At Sasuke's comment, Hidan turned to Sakura with wide eyes. "You are fucking perfect!" Hidan said as he started to walk Sakura's way. It wasn't actually a walk, more like a prowl.

Sakura took a step back at the look in Hidan's eyes; he wasn't going to lunge at her, was he?

"Stop looking at Sakura-Chan like that!" Naruto yelled with an accusing finger as he walked to stand in front of her. "You don't even know if she's single or not!"

The comment raised a lot of eyebrows, and all of the questioning stares were sent Sakura's direction. Her cheeks reddened for a moment because all of their attention was on her, but she was able to collect herself enough to speak.

"I uh… I've never actually had a boyfriend," Sakura said as she turned a slight glare to Naruto; why did her best friend have to remind her that?

"That's because no one wants to date someone who is so-"

Sakura sent Naruto a meaningful glare, and she took pleasure in the fact that he shut up immediately. She had trained Naruto so well. "What was that Naruto?" Sakura asked, because she wanted to make sure he understood her glare. "Why does no one want to date me?"

"… They'd be crazy not to want to date you, Sakura-Chan," Naruto laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "Yeah… that's what I meant."

"That's what I thought you were going to say," Sakura said with a nod as she started to head back to her room. She ignored all the delicious males she was leaving behind in favor of going to grab her book. She doubted she'd be able to get some serious flirting done with Sasuke and Naruto there, and plus, she wasn't completely sure how to handle Hidan… Boys her age usually weren't that forward with their attraction. As that single thought floated through her head, she heard Hidan mutter something just as she walked into the house.

"…She just got Naruto to shut up with a glare," she heard Hidan's voice. "I'm gonna make her my fucking woman!"
