Summary: Sakura swore off all men, and ultimately, love. Making it a rule, but all rules have exceptions. Sakura, who doesn't believe in such an exception, obviously hasn't met a certain Uchiha Sasuke.

NOTE: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS A MATURE SCENE. YOU ARE WARNED.
"Hey Beautiful, I haven't seen you around?"
I turned around to face the monotonous voice.
"Uh...hi?" Oh God...he has absolutely NO facial expression...Ok WTF this is weird, fucking weird!
"Im Sai, and you are?" Oh God...Sai? Im seriously having nightmares tonight! Why is he looking at me like that? OMG he's some kind of freaky killer! Is this how I die...OMG NO, Im GONNA DIE!...
The Only Exception
Chapter 2 - Like Whoa
Everything's fine
Except you've got that look in your eye
When im telling a story and you find it boring
You're thinking of something to say...
You'll go along with it and drop it
And you nearly ate me
In front of our friends.
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying
And say something like:
Yeah intelligent input darling, why don't you just have another beer then?
Then you'll call me a bitch
And everyone we're with will be embarrassed
And I
Wont-give-a-shit.
Sakura POV
"So, traitors, Let me get this straight. You four, along with my mom all conspired behind my back? Filled in an application to that Hokage-whatever school, had my mother sign it and sent it in and now you actually have the nerve to tell me I got accepted?"
"Yes! Exactly!" Ino said happily.
"Sakura, it's not that bad? I got in also...believe it or not." Temari muttered the last part and glared out of the window.
I sighed exasperatedly! Dammit! Who gave them the right! Ok...so we've all be best friends since kindergarten? This is still a major invasion of personal space and so...so...WRONG!
"AND! It's Konoha Hokage Private Academy." Ino kindly informed me in a matter-of-fact voice.
"It's also a chain type school...like in the Sand they have Kazekage Academy...Mizukage Academy...Otokag-" Tenten said, picking up where Ino left off
"THANK YOU TENTEN! I THINK I GET IT!"
Hinata, who had been quiet through the whole conversation, reached out and touched my arm. "Sakura-chan...We were only doing what we thought was right, we were only looking out for you, and we were right. What with...what happened."
"Hina, I get that, and yes, im grateful. But the fact still is, you sent it in BEFORE school was even over!"
"True, but it was also part of our plan to get you away from that fuck up. Since you were so painfully blind, forehead." Ino said, with her usual "im-so-superior" hair flip.
I glared.
She glared.
The glare contest commenced for a few more minutes until Temari ahem-ed. Everyone turned to her.
"Look im not exactly happy about this either, but since it's done. It's done. Let's just get over this?"
I sighed. "So everything's sorted for my move to Konoha?" Everyone yay-ed and we had an annoying group hug.
"Well, not exactly..." im not surprised it was Ino who spoke.
"not exactly?"
"We haven't called your aunt...you're mom said that only you can get along with her..."
"When does school start?" I asked no one in particular, but Ino answered.
"Fall semester starts on September first."
My jaw dropped.
"Sakura, honey, close your mouth, what you're doing is soooo unattractive." Fucking Ino.
"Do you realize what today's date is?"
"Why yes. It's...the 24th..."
"Of AUGUST!"
"Oh would you relax! I told you, everything is sorted...except your accommodation."
"Oh for fucks sake!" I took out my phone and scrolled to the number, pressing call.
It rang a few times before she answered.
"Sakura?"
"Hi Tsunade, yup it's me."
"What's wrong? You only call when something is."
"Gah! Im so hurt, oh dearest and bestest aunt of mine."
"Cut the crap Sakura. I have a feeling you've been hanging out with Naruto again"
"Yes and the girls went behind my back and sent in an application to that...Hokage school. Mom was helping."
"Say no more. You can stay at my place. When are you coming?"
I quickly asked Ino.
"The day after tomorrow."
"I'll tell the doorman to expect you."
"Thanks Tsunade, you're the best."
"Ha-ha ok, enough of that. See you soon."
"Yup, Bye."
We hung up.
"Now everything is sorted! Aint I great!"
I, along with everyone else, rolled our eyes.
"Here." Ino handed me a few bags.
"This is...?"
"School Uniform. Remember, light make-up only, colour-less nail polish only and if your hair touches your shoulders it has to be up."
"Uniform? I don't care about the rest! BUT uniform?"
Ino sighed, clearly annoyed.
"Sakura, private school. It was to be expected, keep up girl."
Ok so, no I still wasn't happy about this whole thing. Why? Because I have no say in this. None!
"So, yeah. Our plane leaves at 11am. You bringing a car?"
Crap. I forgot about that. "Nope."
"Alright. You can always catch a ride with us. No big."
"What time should I be at the airport?"
"9-ish...that gives us...2 hours. Did your mom tell you about the furniture she sent to your aunt's place?"
I nodded. Mom called and told me I didn't have to worry about a bed and all that because she already had all of that delivered. So I only had 4 Boxes and a few (cough) suitcases of clothes. as well as my carry-on bag.
"Ok so, Im gonna go home and get someone to load my stuff." she gave me a hug and left.
I quickly double checked that I had everything important. Guitar. Check. Song Journal. Check. Laptop. Check. iPod. Check. Scrapbook + new scrapbook. Check. DVDs. Check. The rest was all packed by Kazuro so I was sure it was all there. My room looked suspiciously...empty. Im really gonna miss this place.
There was a knock at the door. "Come in."
"Sakura-sama. The car has arrived. Would you like me to arrange for you belongings to be taken down?"
"Yes, thank you Kazuro." She smiled and bowed before disappearing again. A few seconds later some of the guards came in and picked up the boxes taking them downstairs. I followed silently, when I remembered someone else who had a hand in my fate. I pulled out my phone and called, still following them to the car.
"Hello?"
"Hi...traitor."
"S-Sakura-chan..."
"hmph!"
"You gotta understand! It was all Ino's idea!"
"And you didn't think to stop her, oh no, you plotted along with her!" I acted angry.
"S-Sakura-chan...I didn't stop her...no! Well...because...you're coming to my school!" I could see him grinning, Something caught my eye at the main gate...a car...midnight blue.
"Yeah yeah...I-I...Naruto I gotta go..." my voice sounded strangled.
"Sakura-chan? What?"
"Deidara just stopped in front of my gate."
"Don't open for the bastard!"
"Naruto! he already saw me!"
"So fucking WHAT!"
"Oh God...The guard just opened the gate."
"Go Inside! Tell Kazuro-chan not to open!"
"Sakura-sama? What would you like me to do?" I turned to Kazuro, and luckily away from my ex.
"Naruto, I'll call you later."
"WHATS ALL THIS, un?" Deidara said loudly.
"Sakura-chan!"
I hung up.
"Deidara, what are you doing here?" I turned to him with a bored look. be strong Sakura...be strong...I chanted in my head.
OR we could beat him up! Inner Sakura said...haven't seen her in a long time.
"I came to talk to the sexiest girl in the world, un"
Beat him up! Beat him up!
Beat him up! Beat him up!
Ok, Inner Me...not helping.
My face still bored, I said "So talk."
"What about some coffee, un? You!" he looked around me to Kazuro. "Get some coffee, un?"
"Sakura-sama?"
"Its fine Kazuro, get him the damn coffee."
"As you wish Sakura-sama."
"Bring it to Sakura's room, un." OMG He did NOT just say that.
Like I said, .UP! Inner Sakura said more insistently.
I had to admit, it was more than tempting.
"Kazuro, bring it to the veranda." I said before she could leave.
She looked very relieved and bowed before scurrying inside.
I followed, with Deidara behind me.
I walked to the dining room and opened the sliding door, stepping out to the veranda.
I sat down at the table and mentioned for him to sit across from me.
"Talk." Ok, yeah I was getting annoyed.
"Let's wait for the coffee, un."
Oh for fucks sake...
We sat there in awkward silence. While he smirked at me and I looked anywhere but at him. I also had to switch my phone off to which Deidara made some sick remark.
I was twitching when Kazuro entered with the coffee.
"None for me thanks Kazuro." I said and she poured some for Deidara to his tastes.
"Sakura-sama, would you like some snacks?"
"Yeah, that would be-"
"No, Thank you Kazuro, but Deidara won't be staying that long." He glared at me for interrupting me, but I ignored him.
"If you don't plan on talking, leave. You're wasting my time. I have places to go." I made a show of checking my silver Hello Kitty watch. It was one of those oversized ones, everything was silver, except the little diamonds were pink (and real).
"I see that...where you headed, un?"
"Not your concern." I kept my tone formal.
He sighed. "Saki-babe...don't be like this."
"I am not your "Saki-babe". I have a name. It's Sakura. Start using it."
He rolled his eyes, and took a sip of his cup.
Shove the cup into his face! Do it! Inner Sakura said.
I could just reach...and...he took the cup away. DAMMIT.
"Look, I actually came here to work things out, try to be civil Saki-babe."
CIVIL? WORK THINGS OUT? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Slowly I stood up. "You know what Deidara. You're right. I should be civil."
He grinned at me. I picked up his cup and took a big gulp, before spitting it into his face, and then I broke the poor fragile little cup over his head.
"FUCKIT!" he screamed as I made my way to the sliding door.
"Bitch! What the fuck was that!"
"Oh that?" I gave a very fake laugh which turned real when some blood trickled down his forehead, "That was what was on my mind. Im really glad we had this talk." I stepped inside and told Kazuro to show him out, which she did with a big smile.
Hinata came rushing into the main foyer with the other 3 on her heels. "Sakura! N-Naruto-kun called!" she said, out of breath. Its funny how whenever she stutters it has to do with him, and really sweet.
I smiled, high on whatever adrenaline was running through my veins. "I took care of it, no worries."
"God, Sakura, what'd you do? His face was covered in blood." Ino's voice was full of approval.
"Psh. Not Much, head wounds tend to bleed a lot." I shrugged it off.
Everything inside me was bubbling, and suddenly I burst out into uncontrollable laughter. Like, clutching my stomach, tears running down my eyes, my knees are getting all weak laughing. I vaguely registered that my friends were laughing too, but that didn't matter. Right now, nothing did, everything was amazing.
Inner Sakura was still smug as we boarded the plane. I sat at the window, Hinata next to me and Tenten next to her with Ino at the window seat behind me and Temari next to her. An old lady sat next to her.
As soon as the adrenaline wore off, I was extremely tired. I took out my iPod and was about to put the earphones in when Ino leaned forward.
"OI, Forehead, we're going to the White Party on Saturday."
"what? you're kidding!"
"Na-uh."
"And you couldn't mention this...I dunno, before?"
"No, cause we already got you a dress." I turned around to glare at her, but she just laughed and quickly leaned back and began talking enthusiastically with Temari about the guys at her school. I mean OUR school.
I really tried not to listen...really I did.
"Well, firstly, the hottest guy in school is in our grade, name: Uchiha Sasuke. He thinks he's god's gift to well...everyone and everything, with his "Im too cool for you attitude". And, honestly he is, even if he is a total jerk his looks made up tenfold for his attitude." Ok, arrogant, check, Uchiha? Yeah That's what it said when Mr. Kami-sama invited me for the live chat. "Uchiha.S". Ok, one down "". "The whole school's girls are probably his fangirls. Except for us. We know him. Next is probably Naruto," I saw Hinata stop turning the page of her Seventeen Magazine, "he also has a ton of fangirls, but he only has eyes for one shy pixie." they giggled and I saw Hinata blush and turn the page. I already knew Naruto was . " Hmm...whose next...Inuzuka Kiba, the guy we met at the mall." Yup, Wolfman Haha...Ino's crush...funny.
"Oh yeah, he is quite the hottie." Temari commented and Ino ahem-ed.
"Yeah..., anyway. Next we have the lazy-ass Nara Shikamaru, I swear the guy has no passion for anything. He sleeps in class and still gets good grades. He doesn't really like anything except watching clouds and taking naps." A-Ha! .nice!
"Hyuuga Neji is next, I dunno if you've met him..." Oh I have...and lemme tell you...stuck-up~
"Oh yeah...he's into fortune telling and fate and all that crap" Too easy, Prince Vegeta.
"Correct. And that's about it, the rest don't matter, but we do have some real freaks, like Sai, and then lastly you know your brothers and their hotness, so I don't hafta explain."
"Ok ew!"
"They're hot! That's all im saying!"
"Ino stop! That's disgusting!"
They kept discussing randoms for a while until they announced the landing, and even after that. Once we arrived at the airport I saw a guy in uniform with a board saying "Haruno Sakura."
"That's me girls." We quickly said goodbye and I walked over to him. He told me my stuff was already taken to Tsunade's place. I thanked him and he led me outside to the stretch limo. He opened the door for me and I got in. A few seconds later the car came to life and started driving.
The ride was one of silence. And seemed to go on and on. After what seemed like an eternity the door opened and I got out. The building was large, but as Tsunade told me it only had 3 floors, which meant 3 penthouses. We were at the top, Jiraiya (Naruto's pervy godfather, which meant Naruto was staying with him. Finally some good news.) in the middle and lastly and man name Orochimaru (tell me about it...weird name). I thanked the driver and walked inside. The doorman greeted me and introduced himself as Yakushi Kabuto. He told me that in the elevator, this floor was 'G', Orochimaru's floor was 1, Jiraiya's was 2 and Tsunade's was 3. Well, duh. I ended the conversation and walked through the lobby and pressed the button for the elevator to come down. When the doors opened I was greeted with an unexpected sight.
"Well, I was already annoyed when the microwave seemed to take forever with the cup Ramen; I mean...3 minutes an-...Sakura-chan?"
"Naruto!" I jumped into the elevator and hugged him. He hugged back then pushed me away, still holding on to my shoulders. "Are you ok?" he asked with a serious expression.
"Fine, fine. Well, ask Tenten, she took a photo." he nodded and immediately took out his phone and then looked at me expectantly, I laughed and gave him the number.
"Oh, right..." he laughed sheepishly. "Sakura-chan, this is my friend Nara Shikamaru. Shikamaru, this is Haruno Sakura."
I extended my hand to the guy, he lazily took my hand and shook and when Naruto's phone beeped. His eyes widened, looking from the screen to me.
"What'd you do to him, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked slightly horrified, slightly proud as he handed his phone to Shikamaru, who looked equally shocked.
"Ah, well...not much, just spit coffee in his face and then broke the cup on his head." Yeah, I was a little full of myself...it's not a crime.
Shikamaru muttered "Troublesome" and handed Naruto his phone back, who pocketed it in his dark skinnies.
"Sakura-chan, we're going to meet up with some friends. Wanna come?"
"Thanks for the offer, but no. Im really tired. Maybe next time."
"Ok, I'll hold you up on the maybe." he gave me a goodbye hug and I said goodbye to Shikamaru before they exited the elevator. I pressed the '3' button and the doors closed.
When the doors opened I stepped out and went around the corner where I was greeted with a very well decorated living room, with a lot of creams and whites. There was an open plan kitchen to my left and stairs behind me. There was a note on the counter.
Sakura,
I'll be home around 8. Don't use my car. Your room is down the hall and to the left. First door. Help yourself to anything. (Stay away from my sake) See you tonight.
Tsunade.
I smiled and put the note down, and walked to where she said my room was. I opened the door. There was an already made-up King-sized bed. With a dark pink duvet with a small white cherry blossom pattern, and a thick lime green blanket folded neatly at the end of the bed. Large Pillows against the headboard were of the same material as the duvet, and the smaller cushions were a soft pink. There were nightstands on either side of the bed. There was a vanity on the left, next to the door that I presumed led to the bathroom, with a big mirror and to smaller ones on each side, the smaller ones could be moved. And to the right there was an empty desk and chair. I closed the door. Only to reveal a wide, LCD, HD TV. With a DVD player, mounted on the wall, I checked around the room. Surround Sound. Nice...Note To Self: Cook Dinner for Tsunade. I opened the door next to the vanity. It was the bathroom, as I thought. It had a large shower to the right and steps that lead to a spa bath/Jacuzzi. There was a very large full length mirror in front of me. Next to the shower was the basin and toilet, above the basin was a cabinet with a mirror. I closed the door after I stepped back into the room. Across from the bed, next to the desk, were large, tinted, glass sliding doors. I slid one open to reveal the walk-in closet. It was empty, except for a single white dress, and I had to admit, it was a very nice dress, on the floor were a pair of sparkly white gladiator sandals. Well...ok...more than nice. There was a knock at the door. "um...come in."
"You must be Sakura-sama." I turned to the voice. I nodded and eyed her. She had short pitch black hair that was spiky. Her eyes were a deep gray and her smile was friendly. She was a wearing cleaner's outfit.
"Hi, Im Miko. The cleaner. Tsunade-sama asked me to come in today to help you."
"Oh...wow...that's nice...but..."
She laughed. "I don't mind helping, it's my job."
I nodded. "I'll start in the closet and you can start in here? Just tell me where you put everything." she smiled and first helped me carry all my bags to the closet before she started unpacking my boxes.
I pulled the clothes, which I left on the clothing hangars, out and hung them up. Organizing them by the seasons, and putting my underwear in the drawers. Shoes came next, I started putting them on the racks when Miko entered and announced she was done (WTF).
"Oh, Tsunade-sama asked me to show you this." She mentioned to a small LCD screen and buttons on the wall next to (yet another) full-length mirror.
"What's this?" I asked.
"Temperature control."
"For what? My room?"
"No silly! You're clothes!" my jaw dropped and I could practically hear Ino telling me how unattractive it was.
She laughed. "You can adjust the temperature so you're clothes are warm when you put them on."
Oh, my, GOSH!
"I think im gonna love it here."
The day passed quickly. I ended up making some Alfredo and Potato Bake and for desert my famous crunchy chocolate fudgey brownies in a hot chocolate sauce. Tsunade told me she hadn't eaten that good since last year's Christmas at gran's and she was really glad I came. She offered me some sake, and we ended up drinking A LOT more then we planed. I vaguely remembered the digital numbers on my alarm clock displaying 04:22, when I finally went to bed.
Sasuke POV
I was awake, long before I planned to get up. It's not like I could sleep through all this damn noise. Yes, the Uchiha mansion was huge, but NO ONE could miss Naruto's annoyingly loud voice. That was constantly making remarks like "I wonder when Sasuke-teme is going get his lazy-ass out of bed." then Kiba would say "Naruto, maybe you should say it louder, im sure he couldn't hear you."
I groaned, throwing a pillow at the door as if the idiots were standing there. I rolled out of bed and started my morning routine. The shower helped my annoyance to some degree. I pulled out a 30 Seconds to Mars T-Shirt, it was black and red, and put it on. With some black jeans and black and white converse sneakers.
"OI! SASUKE!" I sighed and walked out of my closet to face my, well...doom.
"Maybe a little louder would work usurantonkachi." I muttered sarcastically.
Naruto narrowed his eyes at the nickname. "Teme..."
I lifted an eyebrow in pure arrogance. "Wanna fight, usurantonkachi?"
"Why you...!"
"Let's go, dobe." I kept my voice bored, even though he was annoying, he was still very amusing.
There was a noise, music, coming from Naruto. "That's M.O.N.E.Y so sexy..."
I felt a smirk on my face and Naruto glared at me and took out his phone.
"Hello?" Naruto said into the phone. I could make out a little of the conversation.
"agh...Naruto...crap...agh..." A girl?
Naruto glared at me accusingly and turned away, lowering his voice.
"Ne, what's wrong?" he whispered. "Tsunade let you drink sake...mmm...HOW MUCH? 4AM?" Naruto yelled and suddenly pulled the phone away from his ear. "NARUTO BAKA! DIDN'T I JUST TELL YOU TO KEEP YOUR FUCKING VOICE DOWN!"
"G-gomen...No, Jiraiya doesn't have any of those...did you check the medicine cabinet...nothing? Ok...check Tsunade's study? Um...up the stairs...first room on the left...yeah I'll hold."
Naruto turned around to give me another glare for listening, a glare which I returned.
"Oh, yeah im still here. Well, I know she keeps sake in the little cabinet." Naruto nodded. "Oh right now I remember! She hides them in the kitchen under the sink! Yeah...I'll keep it down..." he mumbled the last part. "You're welcome. Don't take too many." there was a pause, Naruto looked a little horrified and disgusted. "Ne, you've never got drunk off sake before, and I don't think the anti-hangover pills will help, it is that time of year...and it sounds, um...pretty bad...so I think I should call Hina and...oh, well yeah, but she could...you don't sound fine...yeah ok, ok...sorry...I'll come by and check on you later. Ok...Yeah you too...bye." Naruto ended the call and turned to me. "What?" he asked.
"Nothing." I smirked and left the room.
We walked down the stairs while Naruto babbled on about something his perverted godfather did while they were shopping; something about grabbing a woman's ass in the frozen foods isle and then she didn't slap the old hermit, but Naruto. He babbled on and on until we reached the front door. Kiba, Shikamaru and Neji were already sitting on the front steps waiting.
We got into Kiba's red Land Rover. I called shot gun as always, and the rest sat in the back.
"Kiba, we need to stop at my place first." Naruto said, leaning forward.
"Why?"
"I need to check on my friend."
Kiba glared at Naruto through the rear-view mirror, "She's Ino's friend too." that got Kiba, he nodded and reversed out of the Uchiha compound.
When we stopped at a red light Kiba plugged a wire into his phone and began to scroll through his music. He clicked a random song when the light turned green and set the phone down on his thigh.
Good Charlotte - Keep Your Hands Off My Girl was playing. Kiba turned right and then we were in the city. He made a left 5 minutes later, a bit down the street we stopped.
"Park behind my car then go up to my place. Im just gonna make sure she's ok then we can go." Naruto said and jumped out.
"Let's just leave him behind." Neji said smirking. It was tempting, yes. But Kiba had already parked and we made our way into the lobby.
"Naruto-san asked that you don't go up to the third floor but straight to the second and wait for him there." I nodded at the doorman and walked over to the already open elevator. Shikamaru reached out to press '2' but Kiba fake-coughed and shoved into Shikamaru who then pressed '3'. Like I didn't see that coming.
The elevator pinged and the doors opened. Kiba stepped out first and peeked around the corner. "Its safe." he whispered and sneak around said corner. I rolled my eyes, stuffed my hands into my pockets and followed.
A moan echoed through the empty penthouse. We all exchanged looks.
"Naruto? What the fuck are you doing here? GET OUT!" a girl screamed and it echoed again.
"I-I just came to check on you! You don't look so good..." we heard Naruto.
"Ya THINK!"
Kiba chuckled. "That's definitely her."
"Who?" Neji asked.
"Sakura. Troublesome..." Shikamaru muttered.
Sakura...Naruto's friend from Tanzuka City? What the hell is she doing here?
There was another moan and then footsteps. "Sakura-chan-you should rest."
"Shut up...," she coughed, "I heard something."
"Oh crap!" Kiba hissed. "She's coming!"
There was movement down the hall and then a scream. "NARUTO! Your STUPID friends are in my house! WHAT THE FUCK?"
"S-Sakura-chan...It's not my fault..."
"LEAVE!" She screamed and there was a crash. "Sakura-chan? OK! Im going!" Naruto came running down the hall. "RUN!"
We didn't need to be told twice. We ran.
Once back in the safety of the car, Neji asked "What's wrong with her? First hangover?"
Naruto looked at him like he was an idiot. "Are you crazy? Sakura-chan can drink us all under the table. Probably. Nope, she's sick. She always gets sick at the end of summer and never in winter. Happens every year."
Weird girl...
"So what's the point of the "outing"?" I asked, and everyone, except Naruto scowled.
"To the mall!" Naruto exclaimed, and their scowls increased. Not good.
"To do what?" I asked...dreading that I agreed to this.
"Shopping, for the White Party." Oh, God...fucking idiot! He "failed" to mention this before!
Knowing I couldn't possibly get out of this, I only said "Fuck you, dobe."
Sakura POV
I was sick. Fever, coughing and puking my guts out. And Naruto coming over didn't help at all. He brought some friends over. What the fucking fuck, right?
So now, I was slumping against the cold tiles next to the toilet, ready for the next wave of nausea. I heard the elevator ping. If that was Naruto again...I swear...
My bedroom door opened, and then the bathroom door. It was Hinata.
"Did Naruto call you?" I asked my voice hoarse. She smiled and nodded. Bastard...I told him not to worry.
"Don't blame him; I was planning on coming over anyway. I got you a thank-you gift."
"Thank me? For?"
"Coming here." she smiled and took something out of her purse.
OMFG! OHMAI! Oh Em Gee!
"Hinata...are you serious?"
"Yup, Tuesday night. Me, you and the girls are going to watch Tokio Hotel LIVE!"
I couldn't believe my ears, I wanted to jump and squeal... but my body wouldn't obey.
"Thank you, I'll freak out later." I said with a smile, and she took a surgical face-over thing out of her purse and put it on. Then she walked over and helped me up.
"Let's get that fever broken." Ah, good ol' Hina.
She tucked me into bed and disappeared into the bathroom, and then came out with a cold cloth. She placed it over my head and I gave a content sigh before drifting of into a restless sleep.
Sakura tucked a strand of long pink hair behind her ear nervously. "Saki-babe, im back! Did you miss me, un?" Deidara came into the room holding two bowls. Sakura looked inside said bowls. One was filled with buttered popcorn and the other with cheesy Doritos. She grinned and grabbed the Doritos. Deidara set the popcorn down and went to the DVD player, putting the movie in. His phone beeped and he rushed over to it, a message. A slow smile came on his face and he typed a quick reply. "Who was that?" Sakura asked frowning. He chuckled. "One of the guys." he lied, she was ignorant. He sat back down next to her and she cuddled into his side, he put an arm around her as his other hand pressed play on the remote. It was Good Luck Chuck.
Sakura was nibbling on a piece of Doritos chip when Deidara captured her lips with his. She returned the kiss, and set the bowl that was on her lap next to her. Deidara pulled her onto him so the she was straddling his hips. She threaded her hands through his hair, and his hands held her hips, massaging his thumbs into the waistline of her jeans. Sakura moaned a protest and reached down to stop him, but he flicked her hand away easily. She sighed and broke the kiss, giving him a disapproving look.
"C'mon Saki-babe." he whined.
"Deidara. No. Don't pressure me." She rolled off of him and back into her seat. Focusing her attention back on the movie.
"Sakura." he said, seriously. Using her name.
"Deidara, we've been through this, remember?" she said sternly. Not looking away from the TV.
"Sakura, we've been together for two years today. I think we should celebrate. Not just me. WE."
"Deidara," she sighed, "Saying "WE" is still you thinking about you, and your needs. I've told you. .."
"You've been saying that for so long! And I've been waiting so long."
Sakura looked up from the movie. Why was he putting so much pressure on her?
"Deidara, stop."
"Why? I love you, I want you, and I need you! Why can't you understand that?"
"Is that all it's about?" she asked, getting up.
"No, Im a man, Sakura. Men don't usually get all lovey-dovey saying cheesy things ok?"
"What if I wanna hear those cheesy things?" she asked, close to tears.
"Then you're asking too much of me. Sakura...men express what they feel through what they do." he reached for her and pulled her closer so she was standing between his knees.
Looking up at her, he said "Let me show you..."
"Deidara...I-" she tried to say no.
"Shh..." he pulled her down and kissed her, rough and demanding.
Sakura sighed into the kiss and returned it reluctantly. His hands returned to where they were, but instead one hand reached and unhooked the button of her jeans and the pulled the zip down. She gasped and pulled away but he reached up and pulled her head back, and before he kissed her he whispered "trust me." before smashing his lips to hers again. Keeping one hand behind her head he moved the other down her shoulder, down her chest, over the curve of her breast, down her stomach and to the waistband of her panties. Tracing his index finger down, Sakura tensed, but her stroked over her hair calmingly. He pulled her jeans down with one hand, until he had access to where he wanted to be. He caressed his hand up her inner thigh and Sakura shivered, making him smirk against the fiery kiss.
When his hand started to rub against her most private place, Sakura's breathing started to race, and she began to kiss him faster. Deidara was a bit disappointed that she wasn't already wet, but he could quickly change that. He pressed his thumb between her lips and began rubbing circles over her clit; she gasped and bucked her hips into his hand. That got her juices flowing, to Deidara's pleasure. She bucked her hips again, and then let out a moan when she felt his erection pressing against her.
"Saki-babe lets go upstairs..." he murmured against her mouth. Sakura was barely able to register her nod, he stood up and she locked her legs behind his back.
Deidara carried her up to his room and then he pushed her off and she fell back onto his large bed. With quick speed he pulled off his shirt and then fell down on her, and devoured her lips again, she moaned and rolled her hips into his making him groan.
"Mmm, Saki-babe, eager...aren't we?" he purred, and even in his moonlit room he could see her blush.
"Fine." he chuckled and got off the bed in one easy motion. He grabbed the ends of her jeans at her ankles and pulled it off, dropping it on the floor. "Take off your shirt." he commanded.
Sakura was hesitant. This isn't how she imagined it. He was supposed to ease her into it. Slowly taking off clothing piece for clothing piece. But reality hit her. This wasn't a fairly tale, he wasn't- "Sakura, off with the restrictions already." he said and she nodded, unbuttoning her shirt and pulling it off, revealing her green lace bra. Deidara let out a low whistle and said "Damn." and then "Off with that too babe." she nodded and took it off. She looked up at him and he stood a little awe-struck. "Girl...you are one hot goddess." he said with a chuckle. And she blushed again. When she looked up, he was pulling off his jeans, but she didn't expect his boxers to come off at the same time. He stood there, smirking as her eyes traveled down his body. Stopping at his manhood, which was standing erect and waiting. Sure, shed seen naked men. Ino was her best friend, shed shown innocent Sakura porn before. But this was different. This was real. Before she could process anything he was in front of her again, and in a quick, almost painful movement he pulled her spongebob panties off, and then he was on top of her. His fingers immediately...down there. She gasped as his fingers entered her and then left her core. She looked up to see him licking his fingers. Somehow...that disgusted her. He stood over her and positioned himself at her entrance. "Ready?" he asked, but didn't wait for an answer. He pushed in, and she gasped loudly reaching up to push him back, but her just pushed in further. "Deidara! It hurts!" she screamed. "Just go with it." he whispered and she barely heard him. He thrusted, trying to get through the barrier. She screamed in pain. "It hurts too much...please Deidara..." she said croakily. "We're already half way there, do you really wanna stop now. No? Ok. Hold on." he warned and then gave a hard thrust. She screamed.
"STOP!" I opened my eyes to see Hinata holding me down.
"Hina?" I asked confused.
"You were having a bad dream." she told me, and then it came back to me.
I nodded. "Did he...I mean, did he hurt you?" she whispered.
"What?"
"Deidara."
"What do you mean?"
"Did he hurt you...physically?"
"No Hina. Why would you think that?"
"You screamed...while you were sleeping."
"Oh..."
"Did you tell him to stop?" she asked softly.
"No." what else was there to say? It was the truth. Yes, I told him it hurt. But I never said stop.
"He hurt you...then." it wasn't a question, but I nodded.
"Why didn't he stop?" she asked, angry.
"Huh?"
"He could see he was hurting you!"
"I...don't know."
Abruptly, she stood up and stormed out of the room. "Hinata?" I called and got up to follow her.
She was in the living room, on the cream colored couch, her back to me. "Hinata?" she was crying.
"Sakura...im sorry." she whispered.
"Huh?" I blinked.
Then she hugged me, and held onto me. "Im sorry...you had to go through that...Im sorry you felt like you couldn't come to us." I put my arms around her, and told her not to be sorry. That everything was ok now. And it was.
The next morning I felt good as new. The girls came over first thing to help me get ready for the White Party. Temari on jewelry, Hinata on make-up, Ino on outfit and Tenten on hair. My dress was a simple white, it had connected gold rings connecting the front and the back as shoulder straps, and it reached about mid-thigh and hugged my figure. Temari added a golden chocker and a stringy golden belt around my waist. Hinata added some silver eye shadow, black eyeliner and curling mascara. Tenten curled a few of my hairs at the front and waved the rest to give it that extra body. Lastly Ino added the gladiator sandals and my outfit was complete.
Tenten's dress was long, ending a few centimeters under her knees. It had a bit of cleavage. It was a halter neck. She wore simple white sandals and matching golden bracelets on each arm. Her hair was in the usual buns, except today, the buns were braided.
Hinata's dress was also simple, it ended mid-thigh, with small slits on each side. The dress made knots on each of her shoulders where a small cape was connected. Hinata wore white heeled slip-ons.
Temari has a cleavage showing, off shoulder short dress. It showed all her curves, and flared out at the bottom. She wore an Egyptian-like golden chocker. Her spiky blonde hair was loose and straightened. She wore mini jeweled heels.
Ino, as always, went all out in trying to steals the show. She was such a show-off. But we love her anyway! Her "dress-thing" came around her neck and made an X over her chest (yes, her breasts sigh...) it made another X at her lower back and came forward to make a knee-high skirt. She wore sort-of a swirly bracelet on her upper arm, her hair was in a high pony-tail except for a long side bang hanging loose. Her outfit was finished off by flat, elegant sandals.
"Ok girls! Here." Ino picked up a small shopping bag.
"For Hina-chan, Vanilla." Ino handed Hinata a lipgloss tube.
"For Tennie, Chocolate Shake." Ino handed Tenten her tube.
"And for our first new member, Temi, for you, Passion Fruit." New member? To Konoha...probably.
"Lastly, Sakura, forehead...Strawberry." Ino handed me my tube. "Thanks...pig." she twitched and took out the last tube.
"For me, grape."
All of us put on our lipgloss, pouted and blew kisses. There was a knock at the door.
"Are you girls ready?" Tsunade asked as she entered. She also wore a white dress (seriously, I didn't think everyone was gonna wear white?) her dress, that hugged her curves beautifully, came over her shoulders in a V-line, that dipped low to her navel. The material hung over her breast nervously.
We nodded and exited my room, the loft and the lobby. It was already 10am. The party starts at 11. And from what i've heard, the after party starts at 5.
We drove into the estate and the driver helped us out of the limo. We walked up the steps and Ino's father rushed over to us.
"Tsunade! It's good to see you!" he said as they shook hands.
"Yes, Inochi. It's been along time." she smiled. He looked over at his daughter.
"Ino...you look..." he frowned.
"Yes, daddy?" she sang innocently. Seriously...you'd think she'd have lost her virginity long ago.
"Adorable, princess." he smiled and held out his arm which she took. "Oh, Sakura, dear. Welcome to Konoha." he patted my head.
"Thank you." I watched the walk to the large open doors. The man took the microphone and hit the African drum once. "Announcing Yamanaka Inochi and his daughter, Ino." he hit the drum again and they walked down the steps.
"Tsunade baa-chan!"
I turned around to the voice. "Naruto!" I hugged him. "Hey Sakura-chan!"
"Hi, Jiraiya!" I said with a smile and gave him a hug too. He lifted his brows, shocked and then smiled. He patted my head and reached for Tsunade to hug her too, but she hit him, rather hard, just in time. He muttered under his breath. "Sakura-chan, when school starts come with me! I wanna show you ero-sannin's new shop." Naruto said, making Jiraiya laugh.
"What kind of shop?" Tsunade asked, raising a brow.
"OH!" Jiraiya exclaimed. "Come now Naruto, you can tell the lovely Sakura-chan about that later."
All of us approached the doors.
Gaara and Kankuro passed us along with their father. Temari smiled at us and the joined them. Gaara, looked as always, quiet and shy, but in control. Kankuro smiled at me in greeting and I returned his smiled and nodded. The man hit the drum. "Announcing The Kazekage of Suna and his children, Sabaku Kankuro, Temari and Gaara." he hit the drum again. Tenten stepped forward next. The drum was hit again. "Announcing Mitarashi Milo, his wife Mei Lin, sister Anko and daughter Tenten." another drum hit.
I stifled a snicker when Prince Vegeta passed me.
Drum. "Announcing Hyuuga Hiashi, his daughters Hinata and Hanabi and nephew Neji."
Next were Jiraiya and Naruto.
"Announcing Jiraiya and his godson, child of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina." I knew Naruto hated being called a child, but what he hated more was when someone mentioned his parents. Naruto walked down quickly.
Our turn. He hit the annoying drum. "Announcing Tsunade and her niece Haruno Sakura, child of Haruno Koruna and Sayuri."
I walked down the steps as a few people began talking to Tsunade about the hospital and asked questions about my future. I excused myself and went to get a drink, the refused to serve me alcohol...WTF, so I settled for a juice.
"Hello." I turned to the voice. It was a woman; she was beautiful with her deep purple hair and bright eyes.
"Um, Hi." I said.
"Im Uchiha Mikoto and his is my eldest son Itachi." I looked up at him...damn...he was hot an- STOP! No, none of that Sakura. Control yourself, remember the rule!
"Nice to meet you. Im Haruno Sakura." I shook hand with them both. Music began to play from Itachi, Feeling This by Blink 182. He took out his phone. "It's him now." he said to his mother and excused himself.
"Haruno, huh?" Mikoto-san said tapping her chin. "Your mother! Sayuri!" she said excitedly. "Um, yes...?"
"Oh! I haven't seen her in so long!" she said and Itachi joined us again.
"Did you hear Itachi-chan? Sakura here is Sayuri's daughter!" Itachi looked at me and nodded. "You do look like her." he said.
"Oh, dear, how is she?"
"Well, she's doing fine. She and my father are in France at the moment." I told her.
"What a shame...I wanted to catch up. Do you mind giving me her contact number?" I nodded and gave her the number of the hotel, she smiled and thanked me.
"So, Itachi-chan, will your brother be joining us?"
Itachi shook his head. "He said he won't be coming and that he will also be out tonight."
Mikoto sighed and shook her head. "Oh, Sasuke-chan, he should've come. He's missing out on meeting the charming Sakura." I blushed at her comment, but something else caught my attention. Sasuke. So...Lightning-kami is her son. Interesting.
"Sakura." Ino sang out my name. "Im sorry Uchiha-san, I have to steal Sakura from you."
Mikoto nodded and we exchanged the "nice meeting yous" before Ino dragged me away.
"Sakura!" she hissed. "Its 3:30! We have to sneak out if we wanna get away!" she whispered frantically into my ear.
"Do any of you have a car?" she shook her hear. I sighed and remembered the Yellow Audi A6 outside. Naruto's. He's gonna be pissed.
"Ino, get to the parking lot. I'll get a car." she nodded and went to find the girls.
I grabbed a napkin and pen at the bar and wrote
Naruto
I.O.U
Your best friend
Sakura-chan.
Naruto was with his back to me, talking to Itachi. The Uchiha saw me approaching and I quickly pressed my index finger to my lips. He understood and kept listening to Naruto, whose white suit jacket was slung over his shoulder. I felt around and felt the keys in his inner pocket. Soundlessly I took them out and placed the note in their place. I smiled my thanks to Itachi, before bolting out.
The girls were waiting in the parking lot and looking at me expectantly. I jingled the keys and pressed the unlock button. I was right, the yellow Audi beeped twice. Ino smirked. "Naruto's. Nice. I call shotgun!" she jumped into the front, while the others got into the back and I got in the driver's seat.
"Well...let's go." I turned the key and the car purred to life. Wow...some hot car. I reversed and drove out.
We arrived at the loft at 4:20. I parked Naruto's car in his spot and went to the loft.
"Get changed girls! 10 mins!" Tenten announced and dove into one of the other rooms.
I pulled off my dress and went into the closet. I grabbed a white T-shirt that said the classic "not just a pretty face" in pink. I wore a punk black over-coat over that and a punk red skirt with a thick black belt. Ripped red leggings and Black and White Levi's sneakers. Tenten came in, her hair loose, in a red and black one shouldered, Chinese style shirt, deep blue skirt and knee high Lolita decked boots. Hinata was next, long-sleeved red and yellow shirt, black and white school girl skirt, stripped tights and knee high heeled boots. Temari pulled off the LBD (little black dress), it reached mid-thigh and was halter neck with black flats. Ino wore only a black over coat with a white tank top underneath. With short black hot pants and black peep-toe heels. All of us kept our hair down. It was 4:40 when we rushed out of the house to Naruto's car. Ino wanted to drive, but there was no way in hell. My phone rang; it was Naruto so I ignored it. Yes, I felt really bad...but what's done is done. Ino directed me to the place and we arrived at 5:15. Naruto, waiting outside with Kiba. They circled the car. Naruto nodded and I opened the door. As I stepped out I saw Kiba opening the passenger side and helping Ino out. She looked at him, he looked at her, they looked away.
I turned to Naruto.
"Um...Sorry?" he didn't budge.
"Remember, I.O.U?" I asked. Then he grinned.
"Ok, I'll hold you to that!" he "oh-ed" and quickly rushed to the back where Hinata was about to get out, he helped her.
"N-Naruto-kun...that's...um..." she blushed.
"Oh Hina-chan that's ok, I don't mind one bit!" he grinned at took her hand, and I couldn't help but smile...they really did look cute together.
Tenten and Temari looped their arms through mine on either side. "Well girls...Welcome to your first and definitely not your last Konoha high school party." I looked at Temari, who had an excited grin.
"And um...Sak?"
"Yeah Tennie?"
"Don't forget about those loopholes in the rule!"
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, yeah..."
We entered the doors. The room was dark, lights were flashing, music was booming, teens were drunk, making out and dancing (or both).
"Wow..." I muttered.
"Told ya..." Tenten said. Tenten looked around the room then smiled.
"Will you girls be ok without me?"
"Yeah go on Tennie." she smiled and walked into the crowd.
"Time to get wasted." Temari said as we began to weave through the crowd.
"Im with ya sister."
Sasuke POV
I watched my rum swirl in the plastic cup. Some crappy song was playing, and I was, once again, annoyed.
"-so you see Sasuke-kun...we should totally hook up."
Hook up? Was that what she was fucking babbling about?
"Karin, fuck off."
She pouted and pressed her boobs against me.
"Are you deaf? Anyway," I shoved her off me and she gasped, "You have a fucking boyfriend go hook up with him." I said and downed my rum. God, the fucking booze wasn't helping.
"But...Sasuke-kun! I don't wanna hook up with fucking Suigetsu! I want you to fuck me!"
Fuck. I pushed away from the wall and she grabbed my arm.
She actually looked hopeful. Bitch. "Karin, let go of me. Now." I growled. She nodded and let go. "Im gonna fuck off away from you. Now, get the picture, stay away from me. That means DO NOT FOLLOW ME." and with that I walked off, in search of more booze.
"OI Sasuke!" Just my luck.
"Hey, where the fuck have you been? Kiba and Neji are totally M.I.A, and Shikamaru is lying on the roof with a six pack and some blond."
Neji was probably making out with that...Tenka? Tenchi? Tenten? Whatever.
Kiba? Who cares?
And Shikamaru? Seriously?
"Naruto, I need to get wasted." he nodded and I followed to wherever he was going.
He entered the kitchen and opened a cabinet. "Look...The promise land." he whispered. Indeed it was. A full bottle of Old Brown Sherry, Vin Coco and Russian Beer. Nice. I helped him carry them and he led me to a room. Gaara was sitting at the table smoking Hubbly Bubbly. And now I knew why we were best friends. I sat down and so did Naruto. Gaara looked stoned. I don't even wanna know what he pit in that thing. Naruto began to mix all three bottles into 3 plastic cups and handed them to us. I took a big gulp and almost chocked. Fuck man. At least this night wasn't a total fuckup. I inhaled the Hubbly. Not a total fuck up at all.
Sakura POV
Bitches and traitors. All of them. Even Hinata. I was alone. Fucking alone! Some freak actually asked if they could do shots off me. ME?
"Hey Beautiful, I haven't seen you around?"
I turned around to face the monotonous voice.
"Uh...hi?" Oh God...he has absolutely NO facial expression...Ok WTF this is weird, fucking weird!
"Im Sai and you are?" Oh God...Sai? Im seriously having nightmares tonight! Why is he looking at me like that? OMG he's some kind of freaky killer! Is this how I die...OMG NO, Im GONNA DIE!
"Can I get you-"
And that's when I ran. Like, bolted right past him.
And now I find myself in a corner with a bottle of Tequila. Whatever. Fuck it all. I took a big gulp right from the bottle.
*INO*
Ino was sitting on a swing set outside with Hinata. Both too tipsy to be sober and not too far to be drunk.
"Hina...I hate this feeling. Im...scared." Ino said.
"Scared? Of what?"
"Is this how you feel with Naruto...?"
"Well...Im not scared?"
"NO! I mean...Like, your heart feels like its gonna beat right out of your chest and you're all jittery and nervous and you cant help looking at him whenever he's near...cant help smiling..."
"Ino...are you in love? With Kiba?"
"What? In love? Me? With Kiba? What?"
"You are...that's so sweet..."
"You're right Hina...I do...and that's why im scared...that he'll reject me..."
"Ino...when have you ever been rejected?"
"Kiba is...well...different."
"Mmm, you're right about that, but there's no way in hell he'll ever reject you."
Ino took a big gulp of her beer, and Hinata followed her action.
"But, ne, Hina, what about you and Naruto?"
"No Ino, do not go there."
"I hafta!" Ino took another gulp.
"I love him, like, seriously." Hinata also took a big gulp.
"Then! You two should, like, make out!"
Hinata gasped. "Ino that's...inappropriate!" Hinata took another gulp.
"You wanna, don't ya?"
"YOU wanna too."
"Yeah...Ok, how bout this? I go make out with Kiba, and you take Naruto?"
Hinata drank some more, thought, then nodded and got up. "Let's get em."
"Alright!"
Yeah, they were both totally wasted now.
*TEMARI*
She was lying on top of a guy, while Katy Perry was playing loudly. Shikamaru, was his name...she thought. They were making out, beer bottles forgotten. Well, they weren't drunk; they both only had one bottle which wasn't even finished. Her shoes were kicked off, and they were currently, well...body rubbing and making out. Shikamaru's hands were cupping her breasts and squeezing her hard nipples. Temari moaned. I pushed her hips down into his, making him groan. Shikamaru quickly pulled off her dress and she pulled off his shirt and pants. Leaving them both in their underwear. They were already kissing each other again.
"You...sure...you...wanna..." Shikamaru asked between kisses.
"Shut...the...fuck...up...and...Fucking...do...it."
And that's how Temari lost her virginity, on the roof, of her first Konoha party; to a guy she thought was called Shikamaru. To Hot and Cold by Katy Perry. FML?
*NARUTO*
Naruto took another sip of his drink; Sasuke passed him the Hubbly pipe.
"No thanks, man. What the fuck did you put in that thing Gaara?" Naruto asked and Gaara shrugged.
The door opened then. "Naruto-kun!"
Naruto got up quickly, throwing his drink away. "Hinata!" she walked until she was in front of him. "Naruto-kun, kiss me."
Naruto stood, shocked. "Y-You sure Hina-chan?" she nodded.
They probably weren't even gonna remember this so...he leaned down and pushed his lips against hers, Hinata gasped. "You still sure?" he whispered against her lips. Then Hinata pressed her lips against his, and he didn't waste a second in claiming her lips. Hinata's arms went around his neck as she pressed herself against his warmth.
Sasuke and Gaara glared at each other. Awkward.
"Well, this is gay. Im leaving. See ya, Sasuke." Gaara stood up and Sasuke only nodded.
"Naruto, get another fucking room." Sasuke said when Gaara was gone.
Naruto broke the kiss said "TEME" then kissed her again.
Naruto pushed her into the hall and against the wall. He reluctantly broke the kiss, but didn't move away. "Was that good enough Hina?"
She mmm-ed and licked her lips.
They stayed like that for what seemed like hours.
*SAKURA*
A drunk Sakura found herself at the bar looking for another drink.
"Hi again." Sakura turned around. Sai?
A smile graced her lips. "Hey there..."
*INO*
She was on a mission. A fucking mission of serious importance! Finding Kiba. She was wasted, and he was no where!
FINALLY she spotted him, coming from the stairs. Looking shocked.
"Kiba-kun?"
"Shikamaru just got laid...Oh...Oh! Ino! What's up?"
"Ne, Kiba-kun...would you...um?" she found her shoes very interesting at that stage.
Kiba touched her cheek and made her look at him.
"Do you want...this?" he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, in a soft, chaste kiss. Even though it was short, it sent shivers through her body. Her heart was pounding again and the electricity was still working through her body. Kiba smiled at her, still caressing her cheek. "Uhuh...yeah that was it." she said breathlessly.
"FUCK YOU DEIDARA! YEAH! YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I JUST DID? HUH? FUCK YOU!" was that? Sakura?
"I...gotta go Kiba-kun...sorry." he smiled and nodded.
I followed the voice. Sakura was lying on the couch; drink in hand, Deidara no where in sight.
"Come on. We are going home." Ino helped her up and led her to the door.
She stopped and looked over to where Kiba was. Sasuke was there next to him. Kiba looked at her for what seemed like a long time then he winked. Ino smiled and then left.
