All Bottled Up
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
With Team Hebi, Naruto, and Sakura
"What are you laughing at!?" Karin yelled, pissed.
"It's just that," Naruto began while wiping tears from his eyes.
"I've always thought Sasuke was gay. Which made me think: 'Could Karin really be a man?'"
Sakura and Suigetsu rolled their heads back in laughter, while Juugo gave a smirk. You could literally see smoke coming from Karin's ears, and Sasuke repressed his emotions as always, but you could see annoyance in his eyes.
"Yeah!" Suigetsu yelled, recovering from his 'laugh attack.'
"This explains everything." Sakura thought aloud, still giggling.
"Karin's manly hands, manly voice, and not to mention the fact her legs are hairier then they should be." Sakura finished.
"Why you little bitch!" Karin yelled at Sakura.
"Karin," Sasuke called calmly.
"Enough," He finished.
Karin threw a death glare at Sakura, and stuck her tongue out. She then proceeded to go to a very annoyed Sasuke. She put her arm around his waist, while Sasuke put his arm around her shoulders. Karin stared at Sakura in success.
Sakura's Pov.
Sakura narrowed her eyes, but other then that did nothing. Then realization struck her. Her parents. Could Sakura have been so engrossed and infatuated with their reunion that she forgot about her parents? Her eyes widened immensely.
Karin thought Sakura's eyes widened because Sasuke put his hand around her shoulders'. Juugo and Suigetsu thought the same as well.
Sasuke was not surprised in the least. After all Sakura Haruno was the same weak, annoying little girl that he left behind. He had known, of course, she learned a few tricks but that was about it. He had not known that she surpassed the Hokage herself, became the number one medic nin in all the nations, and was recently accepted into ANBU.
"You wish Sasuke was yours, but he's mine and you can't have him." Karin smirked triumphantly.
Sakura was back in reality. 'Uchiha and his team couldn't have picked a better time to arrive.' Sakura thought, bitterly.
"Actually, you donkey, I was on my way to attend an urgent matter. Then you showed up out of nowhere." Sakura said with an expressionless mask on.
"Really, it's been wonderful chatting with you, but I must get going." Sakura finished.
Realization dawned upon Naruto, as well. He gave Sakura a worried glance, which was returned with a nod and a 'smile' by Sakura.
"It's ok, Naruto." Sakura started.
"I know you have unfinished business to do with Uchiha, and I don't want to keep you from doing it." She waved, and strutted forward.
"Wait a minute!" Karin screeched, as she stepped in front of Sakura to block her path.
"Really, Mr. Donkey, I have an urgent matter to attend to." Sakura explained a hint of desperation in her voice, which Sasuke caught.
"Karin, leave her alone. You can insult her later." Sasuke said with a sigh.
Karin thought about it.
"Ok, Sasuke-kunnnn" Karin agreed, seductively.
Everybody sweat dropped except for Sasuke and Karin.
"Wait a minute, pink kitten, can I come, too?" Suigetsu asked playfully and hopefully.
Sakura was about to say an outright 'no,' but then she thought why? Naruto for sure wasn't going to come with her, curtsey of Uchiha, and as much as she hated to admit it, she needed a shoulder to cry on, a friend, even though she just met Suigetsu.
She could always rely on Tsunade, or Shizune, but for some reason it didn't feel right. Sakura summed up an answer in her head that satisfied her.
"Go for it." Sakura said warily.
Naruto's Reaction
"Go for it." Sakura said.
Naruto sweat dropped once more. 'How could she let a complete stranger know about her parents?' The thought echoed in his head.
He knew Sakura didn't want people to feel sorry for her, so why was she doing it? Naruto finally came to the conclusion that Sakura wanted to beat up shark dude, to burn of some steam.
He didn't blame her, after all shark dude was a wanted criminal, he was part of Sasuke's new team, and he didn't like how he called Sakura 'pink kitten.' He had a feeling Sakura didn't like it either.
Sasuke's Reaction
"Go for it." Sakura said.Sasuke's eye twitched the slightest bit. You had to use a magnifying glass to even see it. 'Go for it?' Sasuke thought. She just met Suigetsu, and she's letting him go to an 'urgent matter,' with her?
'Maybe it wasn't so urgent, after all.' He thought, but dismissed it.
There was definitely desperation in her voice, in her eyes as well. That's not something even an actress could pull of. So the question is this:
'Why does she want Suigetsu to go with her?'
'Something's not right.' He thought.
Karin's Reaction
"Go for it." Sakura said.
It took a while fore the information to sink into Karin's brain because she was expecting an immediate 'no,' from her.
She raised one of her eyebrows' up in curiosity; after all she just met Suigetsu. 'But then again Suigetsu's really hot!' Karin thought. She mentally slapped herself. She hated Suigetsu; as a matter of fact she despised him. She let the thought slide.
Karin made another assumption: 'That bitch wants Suigetsu for herself!'
She gritted her teeth in anger.
'I have to somehow manage to get away from Sasuke, and find out what that whore is up to.' Karin thought evilly.
'Not that I like him or anything…' She assured herself.
With that reassuring thought, and a smirk, she looked at Suigetsu's shock driven face.
Suigetsu's Reaction
"Go for it." Sakura said.
At first Suigetsu looked at her in disbelief for these reasons: First of all, she said it was an urgent matter. You simply just don't invite people you've just met to go with you on an urgent matter. Second of all, as far as Suigetsu could tell, pink kitten, had trust issues. He doubted she would've even said yes to Sasuke.
He knew she practically hated him, not that she would show it, but Suigetsu sensed some 'unfinished business?' between them.
"R-really?" Suigetsu stuttered, still in shock.
"Yes?" Sakura answered, but it came out more as a question.
"AWESOME!" Suigetsu shouted without hesitation.
"Where are we going?" He asked enthusiastically.
Sakura knew the last thing she wanted was anymore people finding out about her parents.
"Just follow me." She said.
Regular Pov.
Sakura and Suigetsu then left the 'group.' And Sakura just realized that Suigetsu would see her break down crying. Sakura has not cried since the Retrieval Arc for Sasuke. She bit her lip nervously.
From the corner of her eye, she could see, Sasuke, Karin, and Juugo leave, as Naruto called:
"Wait a minute, teme!"
"I have some unfinished business with you!"
'Same old Naruto.' Sakura thought.
Sakura was brought back to reality when Suigetsu asked:
"This 'urgent matter,' isn't about your parent's ambush is it?"
Sakura's eyes widened, and she got defensive.
"How do you know about my parents?" Sakura hissed, because the only people who could possibly know about her parents were Naruto, Shizune, Tsunade, and the Anbu.
So how could Suigetsu know?
WARNING: I'm going to end most of my chapters with cliff hangers. TEE-HEE. If u review you get a lots of cookies. ^^ Oh and yeah I know there's no 'Juugo reaction' I didn't feel like he interacted with Sakura a lot, so he didn't have any thoughts to base his reaction upon. If that makes any sense. :)
