Chapter 4: Everybody Is Late And Something Is Developing
Ino And Shikamaru…
"Where is everybody? We were supposed to meet here half an hour ago!" Ino said pacing back and forth at the designated meeting area, a very private motel about three miles from the hotel. Ino and Shikamaru were already there but the others haven't arrived yet.
"Maybe they're still sleeping?" Shikamaru suggested, pulling Ino closer to him. She was still fuming. "Why are you so angry? We can have some privacy now," he said nuzzling her cheeks.
She pushed Shikamaru away and took out her cell, "I'll give some very polite wake up calls," she said and dialed numbers.
"What a drag," Shikamaru said and sighed. He was also wondering where everybody was. Sort of…
Naruto…Naruto had to wait fifteen minutes for his car to drive up. He didn't see anybody at the lobby so he thought he was going to be last but when he got there he saw Shikamaru really crestfallen and Ino with her cell phone to her ears.
"I guess I'm not late!" Naruto said happily jumping on the bed. Shikamaru scowled and Ino looked at him.
"Did you see anybody at the hotel?" Ino asked. "Tenten and Hinata haven't been answering and I haven't tried Sakura's yet." Naruto shook his and Ino groaned. She started dialing again, "What a waste of time!"
Neji, Tenten, And Hinata…"Hello?" Hinata said slowly into her phone. She was standing outside with Tenten and Neji, waiting for the car to pull up.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?" Ino boomed into the phone, "We've been waiting forty five minutes for you guys!" Hinata was lost at words and Neji grabbed the phone out of Hinata's hands.
"Who the hell are you to give fricking orders? We are waiting for the car to pull up, you bi…" Neji said angrily and was about to cuss out Ino but Tenten took the phone away quickly.
"Ino, we'll be there in ten minutes," she said politely and hung up before Ino could say anymore. Neji scowled again and Hinata blushed, "I'll try calling Sakura to make sure she'll be there," Tenten said and dialed Sakura's cell but no answer.
Neji took the phone from her, "I'll try Sasuke's then," Neji said and dialed Sasuke's number.
Sasuke And Sakura…Sasuke heard his cell ring. He moved but then noticed Sakura curled up with him, he caught a faint smell of lavender perfume and it felt great in his nose. He stretched his hand out to grab his cell phone from the side table and spoke into it.
"Hello?" He said groggily and pulling Sakura closer to him.
Okay, he is getting way too comfortable.
"Sasuke, where are you? Why do you sound sleepy? Are you still asleep?" Neji voice said tensed and stern. Sasuke bolted up, knocking Sakura off the bed. Sakura got back up and massaged her head. She glared at Sasuke and he looked back, smirking and she had no idea why.
"No, we were just heading out," Sasuke lied and hung up because he knew Neji was going to argue. "We have to get going, remember the meeting! Kakashi arranged it last night," he said getting up from the bed and put on a clean light blue shirt and black slacks. He headed into the bathroom but looked at Sakura again and smirked, "I would change too, if I were you," he said in a sinister way and closed the bathroom door.
Sakura titled her head and looked into the full body mirror next the table. She gasped; she was so disoriented. Her gown was showing her underwear and the gown was practically falling off.
How embarrassing, Sakura thought turning red. She went into her luggage and rummaged through for a day dress and found the perfect one. It was light blue and had lace at the bottom and it was short sleeved. Perfect, Sakura thought. Oddly, it was the same color as Sasuke's shirt. Sasuke came out of the bathroom looking refreshed and alive and don't forget, absolutely hot!
"Your turn," he said and went to gather his cell phone, watch, and other stuff. Sakura went into the bathroom still red. Sasuke's cell phone rang again.
"Hello?" Sasuke said sitting on the bed, putting on his dress shoes.
"Sasuke! Are you coming?" Naruto said cheerfully on the other line.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm waiting for Sakura to get ready," Sasuke said looking at the bathroom door. He thought about how Sakura looked that morning. She looked like she had a terrible time sleeping last night.
I wonder why?
Sasuke thought for a moment and a smirked. "Hold on," Sasuke said and whispered purposely into the phone, "Sakura, can you give me my boxers, I think I dropped them over there." He heard Naruto gulp. In his best Sakura tone he whispered, "Okay."
He went back to his normal voice, "Naruto, I'll be down in a sec."
"Oh, okay…see ya later," Naruto said awkwardly and hung up. Sasuke laughed, put his phone in his pocket, and finished putting his shoes on. Sakura came out of the bathroom looking happier.
"Why are you laughing?" she asked getting her stuff together.
"Nothing," he said hastily. "Ready?" Sasuke asked; she nodded.
Motel…"Okay, so far so good I guess…" Sakura said to the crowd in the motel room. Everybody was there except Shino, Rock Lee, Chouji, and Kiba. "Ino, great job last night, you too Shikamaru," she said nodding to the couple who were curled up with each other, "Has anybody else done anything…significant?" she asked looking at everybody. Naruto raised his hands. Sakura frowned, "Not anything significant in the bathroom, Naruto."
"Not that," Naruto said embarrassed, "I met Hinata, people were staring so I think that's a start," he said smiling. Sakura nodded and waited for somebody else and too her and Sasuke's surprise Neji raised his hands.
"Tenten and I had a fight yesterday during dinner in the dinning area. We attracted a lot of attention," he said nodding.
"How do you know you caught attention?" Naruto and Sasuke asked in unison.
"Well…umm…because everybody applauded," he said uneasily. Tenten blushed and everybody was blank.
"I don't get it. Applauded? Why would they clap to an argument?" Sakura said trying to figure it out.
"Well, he ordered yellow tail and I pretended I hate yellow tail so I said he doesn't know anything, then he said he knows every little detail about me and I asked him different questions and he got them right," she said in a rush, "Oh yeah we kissed. I mean on the cheek, you know," she finished quickly. Everybody had their jaw dropped and Tenten and Neji were embarrassed.
"Well, well…job well done," someone said. They all smiled and they noticed a little dog. "I didn't expect you accomplish that much in couple of hours but wow," the dog said and it transformed into Kakashi. "Especially our fiancées," he said nodding to Neji and Tenten.
"Sensei, I think this is going exceptionally well," Sasuke said. "I guess that leaves me and Sakura to do our part," he said eyeing Sakura. She nodded and smiled, "This just got a whole lot easier," Sasuke said and smirked. Everybody nodded.
Sasuke And Sakura…"That's so not fair! Ino and Tenten have already done a great job and I have done nothing!" Sakura whined. They were heading back to the hotel to meet the manager, somehow.
"To be honest, I'm kind of jealous of Neji…I mean he never gets along with girls and he already kissed one and Naruto also. Is it me or you?" Sasuke asked looking at Sakura. Sakura was appalled and said, "Obviously you."
"We need to get to the manger somehow," Sakura said frustrated.
Sasuke grinned, "Just use your body, it'll attract anything," and Sakura's eyebrows shot up and she smiled seductively. She leaned in closer to Sasuke and he looked amused.
"Well, does it attract you?" she said cutely.
Hell ya, "Not really," he said and she pouted but smiled again.
"Well, something else seems to tell me something different," she said looking down and Sasuke had enough.
"Okay it does," he admitted. Out of now where he coughed repeatedly.
Sakura looked worried, "Oh no, are you okay?" She touched his forehead for sickness but it was normal. Then she touched his cheek and then his chest.
Sasuke just looked at her, she cared a lot about him. Everything she does has to do something to him. He feels different with her.
Uh-oh.
"I'm fine and stop acting like a mother," he said trying to forget what he feels.
She glared, shrugged, and then her eyes widened. "I've got an idea," she said and leaned into Sasuke and whispered something into his ear.
He looked at her amazed then smirked, "I like it," he said and they talked about their 'plan'.
"Before we do this, we'll have to see what the others come up with," Sasuke said.
"Don't worry, ours we'll be the best because its so PDA," Sakura said smiling.
Ino…
"Tenten is such a slut! She is so lucky! Knowing Sakura, she's fuming! She might come up with a plan to steal the show!" Ino told herself as she entered the hotel. Ino smiled, "I guess I'm going have to do some of my own magic, and that's tonight."
Shikamaru…
"What a drag," Shikamaru said by the pool. He was bored out of his mind, no Ino, nobody to talk to, and he was fresh out of entertainment. Shikamaru was getting a tan a couple of hours after the meeting. He was so bored that he didn't notice that someone was staring at him. "What?" he asked annoyed to the girl.
She had long black hair, deep brown eyes, and a great tan. "Umm…hi, I'm Loretta," she said blushing. Shikamaru raised a brow and she smiled, "Umm…I saw you here alone so I thought…that you'd like some company or something," she said looking at him straight in the eye. She was cute and to according to Shikamaru, she had an okay body.
"You thought right, I'm bored," Shikamaru said and smiled. Her smiled deepened and he patted the chair next to him, "Take a seat and tell me what brings you here."
Neji and Tenten…
"Why did you let her go with him?" Neji growled as he and Tenten walked around the area. "Uncle will kill me if I lose track of her! She told you and you let her go! What kind of friend are you?"
"I'm the kind of friend that doesn't overreact," she said rolling her eyes. "Chill, Neji, she's not going to die with Naruto," she said sweetly.
"Chill Neji, she's not going to die with Naruto," he mimicked. "With him, nothing is assured," Neji said and scowled. They drew nearer to the hotel and looked at each other.
"I think we should laugh and stuff," Tenten put in. Neji thought for a moment and looked at her.
"I got a great idea and it maybe fun too," Neji told her the plan and she giggled, "This is totally going to be fun," she said.
Naruto And Hinata…
"Hinata, can you meet me in the dining area today, during dinner?" Naruto asked. Hinata took the car that Neji, Tenten, and Hinata came in and since she took it with only Tenten's permission, she is bound to get a lecture from Neji.
"Why?" she asked, she doesn't know why she asked that and she just say yes but really why?
"I arranged this thing with Ino and Shikamaru today while everybody was arriving and you have to be part of it," he said briefly.
"Okay, but don't spoil what you told Ino, I'll just play along," Hinata said and the rest of the ride was talk about Ramen, which turns out that Hinata only like because Naruto loves it!
