Diclaimer: Me no own Naruto. :O
Recap:
"Wow, he really got you good, Sai." One of the boys, who had messy brown hair and weird red tattoo on his face, crouched down beside Sai and tried to help him up. Sakura smirked and caught up with Shen, who was already near the entrance of the school.
"See you at football tryouts, Sai!"
Chapter Four:
"Okay, this isn't good." Sakura peered at her bloodied panties and threw them in the sink so she could hand-wash them later. That way, Shen wouldn't be suspicious. She pulled a blue box of tampons out of her suitcase and took some out. When she was done with her business, she pulled on a pair of baggy black cargo pants and a black My Chemical Romance t-shirt. She stuffed the rest of the tampons, and a small bottle of Tylenol, in her backpack that she was going to take to Sasuke's. Then, she took out a roll of medical bandages from her backpack and re-bandaged her chest. She had taken off the bandages after she got back from school, since they felt really bad after the fight with Sai. After she took off the bandages, she avoided Shen as much as she could, just in case he saw her chest. Thankfully, it was feeling much better now.
Sakura glanced at the clock. 6:50 p.m. She grabbed her teal coloured sleeping bag and left the room.

"So, are we there yet?" Sakura asked Shen. He nodded. She looked out the window, bemused. How could they be there yet? All she could see was a black iron French fence…And behind the looming fence, were towering rectangular bushes, blocking her view of any houses.
"What? No we're not… We're outside a neighborhood, right?"
"No, Katsu, that's part of Sasuke's estate," He pointed to the golden "U" design that appeared on the fence, every few yards they passed by, "'U' for Uchiha. As you can probably tell by now, he's quite rich."
Sakura looked outside again. She couldn't believe it! They'd been driving around the same thing for a few minutes by now. Was his house really that big?!
Soon, she found out. When they finally got to the entrance gates, a security guard opened the car door for Sakura and Shen, letting them out. The security guard [who was really cute, Sakura noted pulled a neatly folded piece of paper out of his trouser pockets. He looked at Shen.
"Last name, please."
"Yamagata."
"Shen?"
"Yes."
The guard glanced up at Sakura from his sheet of names.
"Last name please."
"Haru…I meant, uh, Akita."
He looked at her suspiciously.
"My first name's Katsu." Sakura added. The guard nodded and then turned around to flip open the gold lid of a barely protruding block of iron from the gate. Sakura saw a miniscule silver button, which the guard pressed a few seconds later. The entrance gates shuddered, and then slowly opened to reveal the huge estate and its beautiful front garden, complete with a grand mermaid fountain. Sakura stood there, gawking at the whole scene, trying to take it all in. But before she could, Shen grabbed her arm and dragged her to the massively large front doors.
"You seem to have a tendency to grab my arm all the time." Sakura sneered playfully. Shen released his grip and proceeded to clasp his hand around the golden door knocker. He banged on the door two times before it opened. A girl who wore a frilly maid uniform stood in the entrance, staring at them.
"Are you here for the sleepover?" She asked in a weary voice. Both of them nodded, and the girl gave a weak smile. "Okay, follow me."
She led them in, and Sakura was overcome with a new wave of amazement when she stepped into the house. A Phantom of the Opera designed chandelier hung from the ceiling, surrounded by renaissance ceiling paintings of gods and goddesses. Hung on the walls were paintings of, Sakura supposed, Sasuke's ancestors. What caught Sakura's eyes the most was the red and white fan on the wall opposite to her. And it was just so beautif—
Shen grabbed Sakura's arm and dragged her upstairs.

"Oh my God, howmany steps do we need to climb?" Sakura wheezed out. She was pretty fit, but climbing probably about fives sets of very long winding stairs could tire anyone.
"We could always take the elevator, you know." Shen smiled at Sakura.
"Well, why not?"
"Actually, it's out of order. It broke after Naruto did something with it. They're still trying to fix it…"
"I'm going to kill Naruto later." Sakura snarled. She twitched as they walk past an elevator. After a few more minutes of walking, the maid stopped and knocked on a black door. Sakura tensed; she could feel a dark aura coming from there. Or was it coming from there at all? She looked behind her, at a door that was painted an even darker black. It was so dark, it seemed to swallow the light.
"I wouldn't go in there if I were you," warned the maid. There was a speck of fear in her eyes. The door she knocked on opened and there stood Sasuke. He looked blankly at Sakura and Shen, then stepped aside to let them in.
"SAKURA-CHANN!!!!" Screamed Naruto, just as Sakura stepped inside the room. Sakura looked at him weirdly, just as everyone else did.
"Uh… I meant…Have you ever heard of a girl named Sakura?" Naruto laughed nervously, glancing at Sakura. She glared at him.
"I seem to recall that Ino fangirl talking about a Haruno Sakura once." Sasuke spoke… for the first time in a millennium. "She's probably just as annoying as Ino, since 'they're best friends!'"
Sakura felt her hands ball up into fists. I'm so going to hit him. But do you really want to mar the face of pretty boy over there? Who are you?! I'm your… Inner Sakura! Muahaha! What the fuck. Yep. Get out of my head! Can't. I'm you. You're me.
Sakura could just see the Inner Sakura smirking at her.
"Uh heh heh, Sakura's not annoying! She's really cool and everything… Not at all like Ino!" Naruto said very loudly. Sasuke glared at him. Sakura wondered if he ever looked at anyone without glaring. Probably not.
"And this is Katsu, everyone. He's new in town!" Naruto nervously laughed again. Sakura lifted her hand and gave a small wave to everyone. "Hi everybody."
A bunch of "Hi's" were murmured back to Sakura.
Sakura noticed that there were girls in the room, too. She recognized a couple of them—Hinata and Ten Ten, who were good friends with her. They went to the same school with Ino. However, there was one girl she didn't know. A girl with sandy blonde hair tied into four spiky ponytails. Hm. Weird.
Sakura couldn't risk talking to Hinata and Ten Ten much, just in case they said something about how her facial features reminded them of a close friend. And then Naruto would some how blow it by being really nervous.
"HOW ABOUT WE PLAY SPIN THE BOTTLE OF YOUTHFULNESS?!?! THIS GAME IS SO YOUTHFUL AND DARING!!" A boy she knew from her science class fervidly suggested. Rock Lee, was it? He was wearing tight green spandex all over his body and a red sash.
"Okay, but how do you play 'Spin the Bottle of… Youthfulness?'" Sakura asked.
"Oh, it is exactly like Spin the Bottle, except with more youthfulness!" He answered back, ebullient.
They all sighed.
"Can I go first?" Ten Ten looked around and everyone nodded. She spun it and it landed on… Sakura.
"Okay, Katsu. Kiss me!" Ten Ten turned to her right and leaned over, where Sakura was sitting. Sakura groaned inwardly and glanced at Naruto. He had a look of despair on his face, while everyone else was smiling and snickering. Except for another guy, who looked a bit angry… She recognized him from her math and P.E. class. He had pearly white eyes and long, dark brown hair. Hyuuga Neji.
Sakura leaned in… Why did it have to be her? Why couldn't it be the guy glaring, burning holes in her back, who obviously had a crush on Ten Ten? Going out with Ino was probably better than this.
She closed her eyes, right before their lips touched. And right when they touched, Sakura let it stay for about a second, and then she pulled back. Ten Ten pouted.
"Awww! It has to be at least… Hmm… Ten seconds!" Ten Ten wrapped her arms around Sakura's neck, and pulled her in, so they could have a more-than-ten-minutes-make-out-session. But thank God the maid stepped in the room, asking anyone if they were hungry. Ten Ten pulled away quickly and blushed.
Sasuke waved the maid away, saying that none of us were hungry. She nodded and left.
"So… Back to the game," Naruto could almost feel Sakura's pain. She quickly spun the bottle and after a few seconds, it slowed down. It inched past Shikamaru, Hinata, Naruto, and it landed on…
Sasuke.
Looks of sympathy were sent to Sakura. Sasuke, however, showed no emotion.
So it lands on pretty boy, huh? Shush. I'm thinking. Thinking about what? How you're gonna kiss Sasuke-KunShut up, no, I'm trying to think about how to get out of this!Oh, trust me. You don't. What the hell!?
And then Neji smirked. "C'mon guys. It landed on Sasuke. So Katsu, go ahead."
Dear Lord, how she began to hate him so much.
She crossed the circle, bent down next to Sasuke, and leaned in. He smelled really good… He didn't smell like cologne. It was more like the fresh smell of the pine trees and a bit of mint. She liked it. Then, she squeezed her eyes shut and pressed her lips against his. As cold as Sasuke looked, his lips were surprisingly warm. And soft.
"Oh, my God," whispered a few people in the back.
After three whole seconds of kissing Sasuke, she finally realized she was supposed to be a guy, so instantly pulled away and wiped her lips with her t-shirt. She put on a disgusted face. "Wow, Uchiha. I didn't think you were that bad. Remind me to wash my mouth out with soap before I go to sleep."
Everyone laughed. Except for Sasuke.

They all ended up going to sleep at about one o' clock in the morning after a long Spin the Bottle game. During which Sakura slipped away from the circle, saying that her stomach hurt a bit and she had to use the restroom for a second. No one noticed that she grabbed her backpack and left the room to quickly change tampons. And no one noticed when she clutched her stomach in pain every once in a while.
It was just too bad when Sakura couldn't fall asleep. They each got separate rooms, but most of them snuck into each others rooms and fell asleep there. Sakura got a room across from Sasuke's, which was, unfortunately for Sakura, next to the evil hell-room with the scary door. She had to lock her room to avoid people so they wouldn't knock on her door. Just in case they saw her chest, since she took off her medical bandages for the night. She kept on her guy clothes since they were pretty comfortable. It was about one thirty when she felt excruciating pain in her tummy, and she had to jump out of bed and search for her Tylenol. After a few minutes of groping around in the dark while clutching her tummy, she found her backpack and rushed out of the room.
It was pitch black. She couldn't see a thing, and she couldn't remember where the bathroom was… She placed her hand on the wall next to her and began to walk down the hall. Thankfully, there were a few windows, so the half-full moon provided some light for her to see.
"What are you doing here?" Hissed a voice behind her. Gasping, she turned around facing Sasuke. Or was it Sasuke? She couldn't tell.
"I'm here for your sleepover, dumbass Uchiha. God, sometimes you make me wonder." She decided to be smart with him. Wrong move. A hand gripped her throat tightly and she was pushed harshly against a wall.
"Lies. You are one of brother's fangirls."
And that's when she noticed that, instead of coal black eyes, his eyes were a bloody, glowing red. Plain scary.
She shook her head slowly, but his grip around her throat didn't loosen.
"Sasuke, let go… It's Katsu…" She managed to say, in a fearful, high-pitched voice. And once she said that, she noticed something different about him—he had much longer hair and scars underneath his eyes. So… it wasn't Sasuke. A new sense of fear filled her mind. She could tell that the man holding her by the neck wasn't going to let her go that easily. She felt like... he would kill her if he wanted to.
"I meant… I'm Sasuke's classmate."
"Impossible. You are a girl." Could his voice get any scarier? And how did he know she was a girl… Through her baggy clothes, no one could see her boobs.
"What…"
"Don't lie to me. I can sense who you are and you are not male."
