Once In My Life
Setting(s): Sasuke Uchiha's Household, The Beach
Normal POV
"Again!"
Sasuke yelled out at Sakura.
Sasuke was currently teaching her how to use the Shadow Clone Jujutsu.
The two of them had begun their training a month ago when Sakura had mastered the Chakra Enhanced Punch.
Now, a month later, Sasuke has taught Sakura how to use the Substitution Jujutsu, Night Eye Jujutsu, and one Illusion.
Sakura and Sasuke had taken to training in his training room for Black Magik, his or her room for pretty much any other Magik, and the back pool room for when he would teach her the hand signs, stances, or just give her a lesson on the Magik before they trained it.
They are now in Sakura's room. It had pale brown carpet and white panellings with a pink floral print border on top, just for Sakura.
Her bed was at the western end of the room with a nightstand next to it, infront of a bay window to see the lake below. The door was at the opposite end of the room, a dresser just inside of it. When entering the room, to the right is a desk that Sakura puts her scrolls on. Next to the desk is a sliding door that leads out to Sakura's wrap around balcony. There is also a door on the other side of the desk that leads to Sakura's personal bathroom. The tiles are a pale pinkish purple, the wall tiles are dark purple. There is a white, porceline toilet, sink, and tub.
Sasuke and Sakura are in the middle of the room, both of them in one of Sasuke's Magi Robes, the sun is at it's midpoint, and they have the rest of the day to master the Jujutsu.
However, Sakura believes that she is close to mastering it as it is. So, in hopes of finishing early, she is working harder.
Sakura was huffing,
"Okay, Sasuke-sensei..."
Sasuke stepped away from the wall and sat on Sakura's bed, looking out the window.
Sakura struggled to get the chakra to form right, but, it still seemed to work right.
Sakura felt the chakra emiting from her. Then, with a deep exhale, she muttered the incantation.
She closed her eyes.
The weirdest sensation came over her. Her eyes were closed, but she could see clearly.
She opened her eyes, what she saw confused her.
She could see what was infront of her and what was to her left at the same time. What she saw infront of her was clear and what she saw to her left seemed to be in a box that was fuzzy, but still completely visible.
Them she looked to her left.
She saw herself, or, more specifically, her clone.
Both Sakura's jumped up and released a surpressed, giddy kyan.
Original Sakura mentally told Clone Sakura to go over to Sasuke.
Clone Sakura nodded and skipped over to him.
Sasuke, who was now completely in the window sill, was tapped on the shoulder.
He growled,
"If you want a break, I'm not giving you one..."
Both Sakura's smiled from ear to ear, saying,
"Nooo... Just look!"
Sasuke, who could tell that there was more than one voice, looked over at them.
At the sight of two Sakuras, he grinned.
Hopping out of the window sill and off the bed, he looked over the Clone Sakura.
Clone Sakura blushed. So, that ment that Original Sakura was blushing.
When Sasuke circled the clone once, he looked over to the prime,
"Sugoi*... Now, dismiss it."
(*Sugoi-Great)
Real Sakura stuttered,
"Wha...? How?"
Sasuke gestured with his hand for her to come over.
She walked to him.
He brought up his hands and formed a hand sign,
"Copy me."
Sakura brought up her hands and followed his every movements.
When Sasuke was at the final sign, he whispered for her to hear,
"Now, say 'Dismiss'."
Sakura nodded,
"Dismiss...?"
She looked to the clone, who was staring back, just as confused.
Turning to Sasuke again, he shook his head,
"It's only a Summoning... you have to be firm... Don't make it sound like a question, make it sound like a command, 'kay?"
She nodded her head more vigorously, Sasuke then added,
"Redo the hand signs."
"Okay."
Doing the hand signs once more, she spoke loudly,
"Dismiss!"
Then, in a puff of smoke, the Clone Sakura was gone.
Sakura looked to Sasuke expectantly.
He looked stern, but then smiled and patted her on the head,
"Sugoi..."
She pulled away from him, and chuckled,
"So, can we stop?"
He shrugged,
"I guess..."
He began to go for the exit, but Sakura called out,
"Can we...?"
He looked over his shoulder at her,
" 'Can we'?"
Sakura walked up to him,
"Do something together?"
His lips pursed, then he closed his eyes,
"What did you have in mind?"
Sakura smiled,
He didn't say no!
She cleared her throat,
"Um... Maybe, go out on the town... Or just for a walk to the park or the beach..."
Sasuke felt frozen,
Sounds more like a date... I don't entirely want to betray Naruto... But... It'll be only two friends... Master and servant... Teacher and student more like... What the hell,
"Why not..."
Sakura jumped up and down, repeatedly thanking him.
His head followed the motion of her body, waiting for her to stop.
When she did, he closed his eyes and smirked,
"Yeah, yeah... Just, change into something comfy..."
Sakura was going to tell him that she obviously was, but Sasuke thought she was going to object, so he added,
"Not that I don't enjoy seeing you in the robe, but no one else is allowed to see you-"
Sakura rose her voice,
"HEY! I was going to say, 'Duh' but, apparently you thought I was stupid, didn't you?"
Sasuke tried to cover himself,
"No, no, no! I don't think you're stupid, I just thought that you were trying to object!"
Sakura gave him an Oh-really- kind of look and crossed her arms.
Sasuke glared at her,
"I was..."
She glared back,
"Oh, I believe you... Just, that alone makes me sound ignorant..."
Sasuke and Sakura glared at each other for a moment before he muttered,
"There's no winning with you, is there?"
She smirked,
"Nope... Now, get out of my room and let me change."
Sakura pushed against his arm, trying to force him out of the room.
He chuckled once and let her push him.
Once he was a single foot step out of the door, she slide it closed.
Sasuke smiled, shaking his head as he took the few steps to his room.
Sasuke and Sakura both knew that they would go to the beach, so they dressed in cool summer time outfits; It is June after all!
Sasuke and Sakura removed their robes and changed.
Sakura choose to wear light blue jeans short shorts and a white belly tank top, her pink bikini under it. Slipping on her sandals, she looked around her room for her purse.
Sasuke put on an off white short sleeve and denim jeans, throwing on his black swimming shorts and wooden sandals.
Sasuke was about to leave his room when he realized one important thing he needed to bring.
Back tracking toward his dresser, he went into his underwear drawer and pulled out his wallet.
It was black leather with an Uchiwa on one side and a silver cross on the other.
Sasuke wasn't a religious person at all, but, his mother was, and she had cross like the one he had made on his wallet.
Said cross is actually in the dining room downstairs, right above the bar against the wall.
Sasuke stuffed it into his back pocket and walked out of the door and waited at the top of the stairs for Sakura.
After five minutes, he sat down on them, placing his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands.
Girls take too long on everything...
After ten more minutes, he was prepared to go to her door and make he come out.
He stood up quickly and turned around,
To see Sakura just coming out of the door and looking at him, a bewildered expression on her face.
Sasuke stared at her.
She was in very short clothing, which Sasuke could care less about. He was not a pervert, so he wouldn't care if Sakura was wearing a see through shirt and no bra.
What he was actually staring at was her eyes and lips.
She had on light green eye shadow and a very subtle layer of eye liner. The combo of those two eye make ups brought out her eyes in such a way that it made them seem to glow.
And Sasuke was staring at her lips because she was had on a pale rose pink lip gloss, making her lips appear full and healthy.
It made her look so kissible.
Sasuke shook it off,
I'm not going to betray Naruto like that... No...
However, he had to admit, he was starting to see what Naruto saw in her...
No! She is my servant, my student, more like! I don't like her like that!
Sakura, however, was left staring at Sasuke, not sure of what was taking him so long to respond.
Sakura walked toward him and put her hand on his shoulder.
Looking up to him, she asked,
"Ready to go?"
He began to nod even before she finished asking, saying,
"Yeah... Let's go..."
Sakura smiled and tilted her head back at him, stepping down the stairs with him.
They both thought the same thing,
This'll be interesting...
Normal POV
Sasuke and Sakura had been walking all around Konoha for five hours, it now(Obviously) being 5:00PM.
However, through out their whole walk, they had not gone to the beach.
So, that's where they were going now.
They are walking down the street that leads to the lake, which is where the beach is.
"The beach" isn't connected to the ocean, but to a very large lake. Since Konoha's beaches that are connected to the ocean are too far away to reach by walking, most of it's residents just go to the lake, Konoha Lake.
Sasuke and Sakura had just come out of a candy store, Sasuke had bought Sakura pretty much everything she wanted.
As they walk, Sakura, on Sasuke's left side, is picking at her dango, Sasuke is holding a box of pocky, it's swinging as his arm does.
Sakura chuckled,
"Why don't you like candy?"
Sasuke looked at the puff balls on the stick and corrected her,
"Not just candy, anything sweet..."
Sakura, the stick in her mouth, asked,
"Even fruits?
He shook his head, smiling,
"No. Fruits don't count."
Sakura pulled the now clean stick from her mouth and stuffed it into the bag in Sasuke's right hand,
"But fruits are sweet."
Sasuke gave Sakura the bag because she was trying to get something out of it as they walked.
Once it was in her hand, she went in and pulled out more dango.
Sasuke chuckled, Sakura stuffed the first puff into her mouth.
She looked at him, questioning Sasuke with her eyes.
He sighed,
"Okay, if you count fruits as sweet, then I only don't like candy."
She closed her eyes and grinned, the wood sticking out of her mouth.
They looked at their surroundings. They were in the forest on a dirt path leading toward Konoha Lake.
Sasuke smirked,
"Almost there..."
Sakura released a muffled,
"Great!"
Sasuke hn'd and continued to walk.
When they were about five minutes away from the lake, Sakura gave Sasuke the bag and kept looking up at the leaves looming over them.
Then, she randomly asked,
"Sasuke... What is your goal in life?"
He looked to her, confused,
"Nani*?"
(*Nani-What)
She rolled her head to him,
"What is it you dream of doing?"
He closed his eyes and released a breathy laugh,
"You don't want to know..."
She held his left arm,
"Yes I do!"
Looking at her, he sighed,
"Actually... It's not a dream... I know I will achieve it..."
His voice suddenly sounding darker and more menacing, he added
"I will kill a certain someone..."
Sakura gasped, letting go of him and stopped. Sasuke was a few feet infront of her before he turned back,
"Don't worry, it's not you."
She stayed still,
"I guessed that, but... Who and why?"
He looked to the ground inbetween them,
"You don't want to know..."
Sakura felt adreniline course through her. She took a step forward and snapped,
"Sasuke! Just tell me!"
He looked up at her through his bangs. He looked so evil and cruel that Sakura had to redirect her eyes.
He exhaled briefly,
"It's my brother... Why? Because..."
He aimed his head up completely and growled,
"Because he's the one who killed my clan!"
Sakura gasped.
She knew that Sasuke's clan was massacred, but not by his brother!
She didn't know whether or not she should go toward Sasuke. He looked too feral and ready to attack, that she didn't want to go near him.
Sasuke, though, frowned and went back to Sakura.
He took her hands in his and stroked the top of her right hand wth his thumb. Sakura was shivering slightly, Sasuke felt horrible for showing her that side of him.
In a soothing voice, he whispered to her,
"Gomen... I'm sorry that you had to see me like that..."
Sakura shook her head,
"Don't be sorry... It's my fault because I asked..."
Sasuke just looked at their hands, feeling remorse.
Quieter than before, he asked,
"Still want to go to the beach?"
Sakura nodded and they began to walk back toward their original target.
Fifteen minutes later, the two of them reached the lake.
It was devoid of people, but that meant that they could have it to themselves.
Sakura beamed and, letting go of Sasuke's hand, because they had been holding hands since Sasuke appoligized, ran for the water.
Sasuke followed more slowly.
Sakura ran in, splashing the orange reflected liquid all about.
Sasuke tried to hide his smile as he put their bags down on the white sand.
The lake was just off the woods so the whole body of water had trees and other fauna surrounding it. Looking across the lake you could make out another beach and what looked like a camping ground.
(For reference of what the lake looks like, look at Chatfield Hollow)
Sakura came back out of the water, only up to her knees wet.
She ran up to Sasuke and sat in the sand.
Sasuke kneeled down beside her.
Sakura began to slip off her shorts and, once they were off, she turned to their stuff and put them in the bag with her candy.
Then she faced the water and pulled off her shirt, freaking out Sasuke, who didn't know she had a bikini top on underneath.
The lake was catching the sunset's rays, making the water glow with an orange light and casting shadows on the far end of the water from the trees on the opposite side.
Sakura stood up and began to walk towards the water, but, then she turned back around to Sasuke and held her hand out for him.
He looked at her hand then to her face, shaking his head no,
"No, Sakura... I'm not going to swim..."
Sakura put her hands on her hips, pouting,
"What? You don't know how to swim?"
Sasuke glared up at her dark sillohette,
"No! I can swim! I just..."
He looked off to the side, not able to give a specific reason as to why he didn't want to swim, just that he didn't.
Sakura grinned,
"Oh, come on, Sasuke!"
She pulled at the collar of his shirt, trying to get him to stand.
Trying to pull away, Sasuke kept on telling her no. But Sakura was relentless.
Sasuke then groaned and nearly yelled,
"Fine! Fine, fine! I'll go in!"
He stood up and began to unbutton his jeans.
When off, he went for his shirt.
When that also lay on the ground, he looked up to find Sakura gone.
He looked up and down the bank, trying to find her.
He went to the water, walking in so his ankles were under the liquid.
Looking farther in the water, he called out,
"Sakura? Sakura?"
He sighed, thinking that she went under to make him rush in.
He shook his head,
"Heh-heh... Funny... I'm not going in anymor-"
Sakura ran at him from behind him on the sand, yelling,
"Sasuke-kun!"
Sasuke, caught off guard, turned around only to have Sakura jump into his arms.
Both of them fell into the water.
Sasuke and Sakura got soaked.
Sasuke had his back on the bed of the lake, but he was in deep enough so that the water only went up to his shoulders.
Sakura was ontop of him, her arms wrapped around his neck, his arms across the small of her back.
She was laughing at him, he glared at her,
"I thought you were in the water..."
She shook her head, eyes closed,
"Nope! I went behind you, making you think I was in the water! Hahahaha!"
Sasuke continued to glare at her.
But, then, his grimace turned into a smirk.
He pushed her off him and, when she looked up at him from the bed of the lake, he splashed her.
Sakura squealed in surprise, but got up and splashed water back at him.
He did so back to her.
When she got hit, she ran deeper into the water so it was just below her breasts.
Sasuke followed, splashing her.
She splashed at him too.
They did this for what felt like hours, just chasing each other, splashing each other, and having fun.
Then, Sakura tried to run back towards the bank, Sasuke followed.
When she was able to run normally, she sprinted, still splashing at him when she could.
Sasuke ran at her and grabbed her from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Sakura squealed again, then began to laugh.
Sasuke took her out from the water and held her up.
Sakura kicked her legs, still laughing.
Then, they began to fall backwards, releasing happy and playful cries.
As they fell, Sasuke tightened his grip around Sakura.
Once in the water, Sakura burst out in laughter.
Sasuke beamed, and actaully joined her.
Then, Sakura splashed him again and ran towards their bags.
Sasuke smiled, grabbing at her occasionally, picking her up and spinning with her when Sakura let him.
When they reached their stuff, Sakura turned towards Sasuke as he was still running. They both fell down.
This time, Sakura was under Sasuke, both of them had their eyes closed and were still laughing.
Then, they opened them and looked into each others.
Slowly, they drew closer, eyes becoming half lidded.
When their lips were just about to touch, as strong voice rose up,
"You two! It's 6'O'Clock! The lake is closed now! I'll have to ask you two to leave."
They looked over to the voice, who happened to be a police man.
Sasuke gazed back to Sakura then the officer,
"Oh, sorry Sir! We didn't know! We'll be leaving now!"
The police man nodded and muttered under his breathe so that Sasuke and Sakura could not here,
"Teenagers these days. Their hormones raging... My luck I caught those two love birds before they did anything more!"
Sasuke got up off of Sakura and got his jeans, pulling them on.
Sakura did the same with her shorts and tank top.
When they were decent enough, they picked up their bags and left, both still laughing happily.
They went for the same path they got there through.
As they walked, they held each others hands, laughing as they still enjoyed each other's company.
They had so much fun today!
Sasuke, most of all! For the first time since his clan was destroyed, since he was seven, he had actaully laughed in pleasure.
For once in his life, he felt actual happiness.
For once, he didn't think about anything but happiness.
Sasuke felt that, for once in his life, he truely had a chance of a normal life.
