Recap:
"Why do you want to find out their identity so badly?" I questioned, praising myself for finding my voice.
"We want to go out with them." Neji said bluntly.
Chapter Four
Sakura
When someone ask you a really awkward question that involves with you. Here's a tip on what not to do.
Don't ever drink water to release your nervousness or because your dying to make your body do something, acting as if the question had never really bothered you. Even if you're dying of thirst.
Why you ask?
Because the moment the person answers your question. It may catch you off guard. Worst case scenario, is you spiting out water all over the person in front of you. That my friend, is not a good thing especially if that certain someone is in the high class.
Why you ask? Two reasons.
One, you just realized you had spit water out in a high class dinner table, making everybody's eyes widen at your stupidity.
Two, if the person you spit water on, name is Sasuke Uchiha whose families name is the second most famous corporation next to the Hyuuga and then the Sand. You might as well kill yourself and hope that he won't hunt you down all the way in hell.
There was a moment of silence, I could've sworn their was a cricket in the room. As Ino and Tenten dropped their forks on the floor, mouth wide opened. Hinatas hand was over her mouth murmuring 'oh my'. The guys were holding in their laughter. Naruto however looked like he was on the verge of bursting out laughing any moment now.
What was I doing? I was trying to stand up and bow to apologize. Since I'm a clumsy person and lady luck was not on my side today, I accidentally tripped on my heel making me fall face first right on the floor. Causing me to grab the table cover making the food drop on top of my should I say 'flow' on my head?
Let me tell you; one of the maids decided it was a perfect time change my plate to soup, the exact moment when Neji answered the question. Meaning that it just got out of the pot. In short, it was really hot. Having it on top of my head does not feel so great either.
There was a good thirty second of awkward silence, till my friends finally snap out of their little dream land. They quickly hovered over me, as they tried to gently pick me up. Keyword, tried.
Ino got disgusted at the mess -Mostly me.- She went to the table grabbing napkins and threw it over my head. Telling me that there's no way she touching me, it could ruin her dress. (Great friend huh?)
Tenten decided that laughing at me is better than helping me up. Hinata as my only good friend, tried to get me up by pulling both of my hands upwards, but I slipped forcing Hinata to fall down in misery with me.
I have great friends don't I? Nope, they suck. Other than Hinata, I always questioned that over a million times.
Finally as a gentleman, the guys rushed to our side and pick Hinata and I up, bridal style. Here's the bad part, Sasuke was the one carrying me.
"Naruto, bring Hinata to her room so she can change." Neji pointed to Naruto, he nodded and walked away from the dinning room carrying Hinata who's blushing like a tomato.
"Sasuke, there's a guest room that has two showers, both are in a separate room so don't worry about it. You guys can wash up there, I'll tell the maid to bring in extra clothing." Neji said, he turned and nodded to a maid who walked up to us. Telling us to follow her.
Remember how I said that having dinner with the guys was awkward? Scratch that. Being carried by the man who I had I spit water all over and to top it all of, my scent is chicken soup, the best perfume in the world. This is the most awkwardest and most embarrassing moment that I've ever gotten myself into.
"Here's the shower. I'll be back with the spare clothes." She bowed and when she passed me, she looked at me as if she was giving me encouragement. Her eyes twinkled with pity. I don't know what she's trying to tell me -I don't read minds.- but I have a good idea what it may be. "Good Luck."
Sasuke gently put me back on my two feet. He held on my arms, as if he had a feeling I might trip again. When he's sure I'm firm on the ground he let go of my arm.
"Uhm, t-thank you.." I finally muster something up! I opened my right eye to see Sasuke walk into one of the shower rooms.
"Hn."
I gave out a sigh of relief, walking towards the shower room.
XoXo
Feeling more refresh I step out of the tub. I noticed that the maid already left in some clothes on the counter top.
'When did she get in?' I wondered, I shrugged it off and quickly put on clothes on. Outside was Sasuke, waiting for me. He's wearing a black shirt and pants.
"Daum! He's looking fine!"
"Goodbye inner me."
"Come on! Lets jump him right here right now! Don't tell me you don't want to see what's under that shirt-"
"Good bye!" I screamed inside my head, pushing my inner self to the door.
I shook my head and smiled facing him, while tilting my head and said. "S-sorry did I took too long?"
"Hn." He walked up the door walking away.
Now if someone said that to me, with just one word as I was trying to start a conversation, I would kick him right between his legs. So that he won't have any babies anytime soon. But after what I had done to him, I'll let him off the hook. That was enough punishment for now.
"Sakura." Ino quickly stand up at my presence. Her voice sounded a little shaky, Tenten looks pissed. The guys looked a lot more happy than the first time we met them.
"W-we need to go back home. I-It's getting kind of late." Hinata blushed as she bowed down in front of Naruto and Neji.
"Oh, okay." I smiled. I shifted my body and bowed.
"Bye, it's a pleasure eating here." I stood back up and looked at Sasuke. "Sorry about what happened today, Sasuke."
"Hn."
I clenched my fist together tightly and smiled as I begin to turn around following Hinata close behind.
"That stupid chicken butt hair, the next time I see him. I'll give him a knuckle head sandwich!" I began grumbling as we got inside the limousine.
"Sakura, guess what?" Tenten asked. Hearing Tentens voice made me push my thoughts of killing Sasuke behind my mind. I turned my head from the window and raised my eyebrow.
"Ino gave them a clue about us.."
...
What clues?
...
Is she talking about the Cherry Blossoms?
...
Oh yeah the guys invited us over for that reason only. What did she mean when she said Ino gave a clue about us?
...
-Mind finally functioning.-
"What!" I screamed and turned my head facing Ino, who's hiding her face with her makeup pouch. I yanked the pouch out of her hand and threw it across the limousine.
"Confess or -Insert many deadly and painful situations that may result in death.- Now!"
Ino squeaked. "H-how am I supposed to know? Shikamaru asked me if I knew anyone with red hair that has musical talent. I was so captivated by his eyes that I told him that Cherry Blossoms may not have red hair at all and that it might be a wig instead!"
"You forgot the part where you said that no stupid person out there who's hiding their identity will actually wear the same hair color." Tenten growled.
Hinata who was sitting beside Ino moved to where Tenten was sitting. She twiddle her finger, glancing at me and Ino every two seconds.
I was about to say something when I felt the limousine stopped. Guessed we arrive. I glared at Ino and opened the door.
Inside the house, we're sitting in the living room. Ino tried to sneak away, but Tenten threw a kunai in her direction. Around five centimeters away from her face.
"So now what?" Tenten asked, looking at me.
"Nothing, we stay from away from them. They'll get tired of us in two weeks top at least." I yawned while stretching.
"I'm going to bed, we have school first thing tomorrow."
Boys
"Well? Do you think that what the girls said is true? They actually don't have red hair?" Neji asked, looking at a list of paper.
"It's a possibility, what that Ino chick said was true." Shikamaru yawned.
"Hn."
"We can start narrowing the girls down then!" Naruto smiled while eating ramen.
"It's good cause apparently fifty percent of the girls population is a red head." Neji said.
"Let me see the list again." Neji handed the list to Sasuke. Sasuke grabbed a pen and quickly jot something down on the list.
Hints about Cherry Blossoms identity.
- Attends to all girls school.
-Age range from seventeen to eighteen. (They are in their last year of High school. Unless they failed a grade.)
-Receives a huge amount of funds from an unknown source. Possibilities are that they are rich and/ or one of the member are rich. (Won't be able to afford the costumes and the music sets.)
-None of the members actually have red hair.
"We almost got them." Shikamaru smirked as the guys nodded with anticipation in their eyes.
