Pranks Galore Part 4
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO! Isn't that right Akamaru?
Akamaru: "Arf, Arf!"
…I broke the kiss. And stared at him, confused and happy but, incomplete…
"Um, do you want something to drink?" I asked. I HAD to focus on the plan. I am a ninja and I can't let my guard down even with friends, and especially with Sasuke.
He nodded and I ran into the kitchen, reaching into my pocket with the 'gunk' in it. Thankfully, Tsunade made it, making it untraceable to any ninja untrained in medical ninjutsu.
I pored it into a glass of cherry Kool-Aid and I poured myself a glass and walked back to the room where he was waiting for me…
When I walked back into the room, Sasuke was sitting on the bed with the team picture we took 4 years ago. The picture had me, Naruto, a VERY annoyed Sasuke, and a (smiling?) Kakashi-sensei.
"When we took this picture, I didn't really want to…but I guess I'm glad I did…" Sasuke got up off the bed and placed the photo back on top of my dresser, then walked over to me as I handed him the drink.
The powder that I put in it is a special kind of truth serum, made from various herbs and chemicals mixed together. The serum is supposed to make you realize your true emotions and also give the urge to tell someone about them…unfortunately…it wasn't complete. The serum would wear-off in only an hour.
Sasuke graciously accepted the drink and took small sips, apparently cautious to see if I was still mad at him, but…I didn't even know if I was still mad or not…but it couldn't hurt to have some fun!
"Okay, Sasuke," I said to him, making sure to say it BEFORE he finishes the drink… "We have to be on the lookout for any serious symptoms from the chakra. I'm not exactly sure what will happen, but it will be somewhere between being extremely emotional or depressed for short periods of time…" I casually sipped my Kool-Aid, turning my lips a bright red.
Sasuke stared at me with his eyebrow raised, almost making me think he suspected something… ok…calm down, I just want a little revenge and that's it. He WASN'T going to find out.
We stood in silence as we both sipped at the ice cold drink.
Suddenly, Sasuke's hand flew to his forehead. He wobbled a little bit, and then sat down on the bed.
The serum was taking effect…ALREADY? Wow…that was quick!
"Sorry, I swallowed an ice cube, got a brain freeze." He said.
"WHA?"
I fell to the ground in a very anime fashion.
I got up quickly because Sasuke was staring at me like I was on crack.
For some weird reason, I thought of the day we tried to get Kakashi-sensei's mask off, but in the end all we found out was that he had ANOTHER mask on underneath.
Then, all of a sudden…I burst out laughing. I couldn't control myself and soon I was rolling on the floor!
"HAHA!...I'm…ha!...sorry, Sasuke…hahaha!!" I was laughing hysterically. Sasuke looked at me, probably thinking I was insane or something!
Then it hit me.
"I mixed up the drinks! I took the one with Tsunade's serum in it! ... Oh fucking crap."
After realizing that I had said it out loud, I quickly covered my mouth with both of my hands and got up off the floor. I turned to leave and escape the madness until a certain Uchiha grabbed my arm and pulled me on to the bed with him right above me. He gave me a questioning look.
'SHIT!!' Inner Sakura screamed, 'WERE BUSTED!'
"What. Serum." He said, his dark eyes piercing mine. Unfortunately since the serum made you tell the truth, I was screwed. Especially since his hand were gripping my wrists above my head, preventing me from hiding my mouth…
"I put a serum in your drink to make you tell me the truth and for you to be all emotional and stuff, but I mixed up the drinks so I got the serum instead and now I can't tell any lies for about an hour." I took a nice LONG breath after that. (I said everything without taking a break, so…yeah.)
"REEEEAAALYYY???" he said in a very sarcastic voice.
"Oh shit…"
"Yep." He said smirking slightly.
'NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!' screamed inner me.
"Why did you try to drug my drink?"
"Because when you took my necklace, I was watching through the keyhole in the bathroom door. I then came up with a plan to make you regret what you did and then you believed me and after that I was going to knock you out and shave your head."
"You were?" he asked, astonished that I came up with such a plan for revenge, and the fact that I actually saw him take the necklace.
I just nodded.
He got up off of me and instead sat down next to me.
"Why did you say that I had to love a Haruno then, if you were going to get revenge…"
"It, was the only thing that popped into my head and I didn't think you would fall for it."
"Why did you kiss me back?…" he asked nervously.
"At first it was to fool you in the plan…"
"At first?"
"Yeah…"
"Tell me what happened after you decided it wasn't for revenge." He ordered.
"I felt like I was 12 again, and I realized that I still liked you." I sat up next to him and stared at the floor, realizing that I probably sounded really cliché right about now…
Sasuke was silent.
"I'm sorry."
I got up to leave but Sasuke pulled me back down next to him.
"Not as much as I am…"
"Wha…"
"I knew you were tricking me the whole time. Tsunade told me to take the necklace, and then when I asked her about poison chakra, she laughed and told me there's no such thing. After that, I was going to pretend like I was still oblivious."
"Tsunade, huh…"
Somewhere in the Hokage's Office, Tsunade sneezed
I clenched my fists in anger at my lazy ass sensei. She probably made a bet with someone and tried to set us up!
"But, I couldn't go through with it."
"But…you're always trying to get me mad, so why stop now?" I asked, wondering where my heartless bastard of a friend went. He was acting as though, he DID take the serum. (But that was unlikely…)
"No reason…I gotta go…" Sasuke got up and left. I didn't have the heart to stop him. It was too awkward already…besides, what could I say that wouldn't make it any more awkward than it already was?
The next day at the training grounds, Sasuke didn't speak and neither did I.
And EVERYONE noticed.
"BAKA! Say something dammit!" Naruto screamed in Sasuke's face.
"Back off, Dead-Last." He said coldly.
"TEME!" he screamed whilst placing Sasuke in a very tight headlock.
"Get off of me before I kick your ass over to Akatsuki!" Sasuke's threat seemed to make it clear to Naruto that it wasn't a good idea to piss off an Uchiha.
Naruto cringed at the thought of having saved Gaara from them 2 years ago. And he was pretty sure no one else knew about the life transfer jutsu enough to do it or even attempt it on the Kyuubi Jinchuriiki. He jumped off and ran behind me for shelter as he stuck his tongue out at Sasuke.
POOF
"Sorry I'm Late, but a black cat crossed my path and…"
"LIAR!" screamed the hyperactive blonde.
"Sigh…Well, I have to work with Naruto on his Rasen-Shuriken, Sasuke, Sakura, you two can spar." Kakashi grabbed Naruto's hand and brought him down to the Forest of Death for training, leaving me alone with a VERY pissed-off Uchiha Sasuke.
The two shinobi made their way over to team 7's training grounds.
"Long range or close combat?" he said coldly.
"Close." I responded, giving him the same death glare I used to give Ino.
He smirked and withdrew his chidori blade, and sliced through my bunshin. I ran up behind him, my fist full of chakra, but he dodged and I ended up hitting a tree instead. The tree trunk smashed into nothing more that toothpick sized shards.
"Shit…" I mumbled.
'If all else fails, I have a backup plan!' Said Inner Sakura.
I used more of Tsunade's 'GUNK' and placed it in a smoke bomb form. But this time, I had a small pill ready that would immediately cancel it out if I inhaled some.
Sasuke used Katon, but I used a Kawarimi no Jutsu, making the log turn to ashes from the giant ball of flames.
Soon after, we were engaging in hand-to-hand combat, using intricate punches and kicks, each one being blocked by the other.
We kept at the fight for about another 5 minutes, when Sasuke landed a punch in my stomach and sent me flying back into a tree…but he wasn't done.
He pinned me to the tree using kunai around the edges of my clothes, then he pressed his body up to mine, preventing me from any escape.
'NOW"S OUR CHANCE!' screamed Inner Sakura
I swallowed the pill that I hidden in my mouth and released the gas hidden in my glove. Sasuke dropped to the ground, having inhaled some of the serum.
'SHANNARO! WE GOT HIM!' screamed Inner me
"Sa…ku…ra…" he mumbled before passing out.
"Maybe the smoke is stronger that the average dose… Oh well!" I shrugged and lifted Sasuke up off the ground and propped him up against a tree trunk.
"Sasuke. Wake up!" I tapped his cheek lightly; he blinked groggily and sat up straight.
"What was that?" he asked.
"The same serum I accidentally swallowed yesterday put into a smoke bomb form."
"NANI!?!?!?!" He screamed and jumped off the ground and grabbed my arm, then flung me into the tree, his hands in a death grip around my wrists.
"I see it's already working!" I smirked.
"Shut. Up." He growled through clenched teeth.
"Okay." I still smiled. He looked confused.
"Why aren't you affected by the serum?" he asked; a quizzical look on his face.
"I had an antidote." I said a-matter-of-fact-ly.
"Give it to me."
"Hmm…NOPE!" I beamed.
"Why not?" he asked, pressing his abdomen up against me, I almost got cut off from air when he did this. Well, he IS strong!
"Revenge." I put it simply.
Our Faces were inches away, eyes locked in a staring contest. Mine were mischievous and his were full of anger.
Sasuke stayed silent.
"What does Tsunade have to do with us?" I asked bluntly.
"She gave me all of my idea's for revenge and told me to take the necklace, then to fake love you and go with the plan you had in order to trick you later."
'Damn this stupid serum!' he thought
"Really. Well, I guess we'll have to get Tsunade then, now wont we?" I said, grinning from ear to ear.
"Huh?" He obviously didn't get what Tsunade was planning.
"She's trying to set us up! Jeez! I swear, sometimes you can be as clueless as Naruto…"
"Don't put me in the same category as that dobe Kyuubi Vessel!" His death grip tightened.
"Fine! Just follow my lead…" I whispered the plan into Sasuke's ear, he grinned malevolently and we started to put our devious little plan into action…
