Disclaimer: I should make a general disclaimer I'm getting tired and almost sick to remember—gladly—that I don't own Naruto because then if I did it would be screw up from the beginning… So let's apply the standard and general disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and period.

Day 1: Boredom
11:07 a.m.
It late in the morning, the seagulls were screaming in the beach for their successful fishing, and the waves were peacefully under an almost mid-day sun.
Near, in a big beach house, a messy pink head buried her face in a comfortable pillow, that for an unknown reason smelled very well; it was like a mix of fresh air in a spring day and mint… but there was something else… like…
Sake
Nah… it can't be
Sakura started to caress her pillow vaguely awake, and then she noticed something particular, since when pillows blow up and down rhythmically?
…A special pillow?
She shrugged it off. After all, this was supposed to be an expensive vacation for the best shinobi's the Hokage had paid for, right?
Sakura smiled still with her closed eyes. She kept on exploring more; taking her hand to the top part of the pillow, she found…
A soft and accidental surface, which was not fabric?
The medic-nin lazily opened one eye but didn't move apart. She kept on taking her hand around softly, until she grabbed what seemed to be fine fringes.
Soft like… hair, fine fringes.
Like hair?
Sakura blinked and carefully lifted her face to see messy raven hair around a handsome and totally sleep façade.
She panicked. I… I slept with him?
She looked to herself and the sleeping beauty male version, and noticed that their clothes were totally on them…
She sighed relieved.
Then some pieces of memories of last night came like a flash of light through her mind. The bet for the bed, the sake, the table football… Who won? She gazed one more time the slept figure and unconsciously a smile crept in her face. Sakura shook her head in an attempt to take it off, but it never left her sweet features. Sakura never took off her gaze from him… he looked so peaceful, she wonder if he sleeps this way, so peaceful, since he avenged his family name by his hands…
He looked rather…
Angelical
Sakura sat straight and automatically hold her head because of the terrible hangover, her head was going to explode—if it wasn't already—anytime soon… but after looking at that face again, she forgot the like-a-train-passing-over-her-head pain.
Hesitantly she extended her hand to Sasuke's face, and drew with her index his perfect profile.
Just…
Just perfect
"Sakura, you're annoying"
That memory break the moment apart.
Sakura furrowed her eyebrows and stood up angry with herself for been so weak and fall over again… like a fool. After all, he was still Uchiha Sasuke, the one who betrayed Konoha and betrayed her, the one who thought she was an annoying fan girl and a weak kunoichi.
She left his side and went in the bathroom to take a shower and leave there memories she didn't want to know had ever existed.

11:21 a.m.
"Man, Sakura was really drunk. Look! There! See?"
"Yeah Kiba, we had watched that three times already… how troublesome" Shikamaru stated more lazily than usual, looking at the window since Ino and Hinata were outside playing in the beach…
Naruto stood up from the main panel and stretched every muscle.
"Hey, why don't we go to the beach? I'm dying of boredom here!" He yelled.
Akamaru barked and Kiba nodded and so Shikamaru, when suddenly, he noticed a dark figure in a corner of the monitors' room.
"Hey, Neji"
White pearl-like eyes glared at the genius strategist.
Shikamaru raised a brow. "So, is everything all right with Tenten?"
"Is not of your business" A voice filled with venom and raged answered.
"It is since we are on a mission" The Nara sighed and scratched the back of his head.
"Look, I'm sorry, ok?"
The prodigy groaned and the said genius ran following the rest.
Neji was massaging his disturbed temples when he remembered the last night events…
:Flashback:
"What, Neji… What?" She whispered.
"…I…"
"NEJI!"
Tenten and Neji turned around to see the one they will kill later in a painful way... specially the Hyuuga who was glaring at a certain pineapple head.
"Nara" White eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Hyuuga" Shikamaru cleared his throat. "We need you in the monitors' room. The situation could be worsen… if it's not yet"
Neji shot a death glared making Tenten stiffed a gasp.
"... Err, see you in there, Shikamaru, Hyuuga" And with that, the weapons mistress disappeared walking to the house.
"Neji-"
"Shut. Up. Nara" Neji groaned and left.
"Troublesome..." Shikamaru mumbled following the Hyuuga monster.
:End Flashback:
"Tenten… I… I lov—DAMN IT!"
And with that Hyuuga Neji dropped himself in the sofa and sighed deeply.

11:34 a.m.
Strong hands rubbed gently onyx eyes after a good sleep; let's say a pretty good one. Sasuke rested his arm over his forehead and with the one he had left, looked for his night companion in the bed blindly.
He found nothing.
He stood up from the bed and quickly he sat down again. Sasuke groaned. There, sat in the bed he hold his head as trying to take it out of its nature position over his neck…
No more sake…ever.
The raven haired tried again and walked to the closet to take out some clean clothes since his smelled for the alcohol and sweat of last night.
He walked with bared toes to the bathroom door, and at the time he tried to open the door someone else pulled from the other side, making this someone else to slip because of the wet floor.
"Shit! …Sakura!"
Sasuke caught her in the middle of the fall, falling with her.
Fortunately, Sakura was petit and wasn't that heavy, because she was using the Uchiha survivor as a comfy pillow… once again.
"Sakura--"
"……"
"--you're not a feather"
"Shut up…" Sakura muttered.

11:45 a.m.
"So… who won last night?"
They were eating a mini breakfast since the real time for breakfast had passed away and lunch time was near, but since the incident of minutes ago a silence filled the dining room… till now.
Sasuke stopped eating and looked at Sakura who were looking at her plate with too much attention.
"I did"
"Oh" Sakura sipped her tea. "You should have left me in the sofa then… you won the bed, there wasn't a reason why--"
"I had my reasons" Sasuke cut her off. "I don't mind to share"
The medic-nin blushed slightly and sipped her tea.
"Hn" Sasuke continued eating hiding a triumphal smirk.
After she recovered her composure, Sakura furrowed her brows.
"…I don't need your charity, Uchiha"
Sakura finished her tea and left. Sasuke's smirk faded down and formed a scowl on his face… Definitely a moody Haruno Sakura was worse than a hangover.

2:13 p.m.
The time passed away like a turtle. No. Turtles are faster. Like a snail, making insane more than one, let's say two for the moment.
The pink haired woman was, again, in the entertainment room playing whichever video game she found, after that nothing more was left to play, she just leaned herself on the large sofa looking at the ceiling, trying to found scenes of the night before… but that was useless; the only thing she could tell with security was that she really slept pretty good…
"I hate you…"
Sakura closed her eyes and cuddling in the sofa she started to dose off.
"…Sasuke…"
The corners of her strawberry lips curled up slightly.
"…-kun…"
And she disappeared from the world around her.

3:04 p.m.
Tired of walking around the house, the Uchiha avenger thought cooking will be another option to kill the time, but what he really wanted was kill a bunch of shinobi's right now. But as we know, that will have to wait a little while, like 5 days from now.
Sasuke got in the perfectly clean kitchen---that he cleaned earlier because of boredom--- and reached the fridge to take out some of the ingredients of that day lunch.
He started to chop the vegetables neatly, carefully and slowly since his mission was to kill the time, he wasn't in a rush.
Tac, tac, tac, tac, tac…
"Welcome back…"
Tac, tac, tac …
"…Uchiha" An expressionless Sakura appeared in his mind.
Tac, tac, tac …
"Sakura" Sakura turned around and faced him.
Tac, tac, tac, tac…
"I will never forgive you…"
Tac, tac, tac, tac, tac, tac…
"…Uchiha" Sakura vanished.
Tac---
"……" Sasuke observed his blood staining the kitchen table and put his finger inside his mouth to prevent more bleeding. It didn't hurt as much as…
…as much her words did that time.

4:00 p.m.
Sakura stretched and cracked her eyes open at the some delicious smell in the environment… Skilfully she jumped off the sofa, and brushing off invisible dust of her shorts, Sakura put on her slippers and went through the hallway following the path of the smell.
After a pair of minutes she found herself behind a wall peeping at what seemed to be a man arranging two trays with plates of food in them.
"To help is better than sneak around"
Sakura yelped for the surprise and went at his side in the kitchen slowly, putting a pink lock behind her ear and muttering curses to herself.
Sasuke faced Sakura, and saw a disarray head and a sleepy face staring at him with a brow raised.
"What? Do I have monkeys over my face?"
The Uchiha took a tray and put it on her hands, and a smirk made its appearance.
"No, but you look horribly…" He trailed off.
Sakura hands start to shake and with them the tray. "Horribly…?"
"Don't drop it. There's no more" Sasuke turned around and walked off the kitchen with his tray, but before exiting the kitchen he stopped in his tracks.
"…horribly bored"
Is that an insult? Sakura thought, and after feeling out of place, she followed the raven haired with her tray.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
6:18 p.m.
The time passed away like the breeze of the summer and these two ninjas were almost bored. Correction. They were bored till the bone, just that no one had say it out load… yet.
"God… I'm bored…" Sakura rolled for the fifth time in the hall carpet under a couch.
The Uchiha was there too since he had walked over every inch of the beach; he could even tell by heart how many crabs and sea-spiders he had saw living in the rocks at the edge of the beach… even how many rocks…
That's it.
Sasuke stood up from the couch and walked over to Sakura, who gave him a what-the-hell-are-you-doing look from her spot in the carpet.
"Beach. Now."
"Wha-"
Sakura with wide green orbs looking at the expressionless Uchiha, started to struggle when this one caught her up in the air, and put her in a way that her stomach was on his shoulder.
"Uchiha, GET ME DOWN!"
That was totally useless. Sasuke turn on his heels and stormed out of the hall. Minutes later, Sakura noticed that Sasuke was going to the entertainment room and not to the beach.
Why…---He is insane!
Sasuke looked over the room until his eyes caught the thing he was looking for.
Volleyball equipment

7:30 p.m.
"Hey Tenten"
"Mm?"
Ino closed the magazine and sat on her bed.
"There's something I want to ask you"
"I'm hearing Ino" The young woman with two buns continued cleaning her set of shurikens, kunais and other weapons, reflecting the light over them form time to time to see if they were totally clean.
The blonde sighed and approached Tenten, sitting beside her. "What's going on with Neji?"
Tenten stopped to brush the cloth over the metal instrument. "Nothing" And then, she continued.
"Nothing?" Ino raised a perfectly shaped brow.
Ino sighed again and took off Tenten's hands the weapons. "You just almost killed him with a knife in the breakfast when he tried to reach for the butter!"
"I wasn't finished with it… but, no, Mr. Patience didn't want to wait a little more. Ha! For other things he could wait for years… patience my ass…" Tenten hissed.
"Tenten, he asked you for it but you didn't answer!"
"AND I ASKED HIM WHAT HE FELT ABOUT ME AND DIDN'T ANSWER EITHER!"
"WHAT!"
Ino was startled and so Tenten. Silence set between the two till the blue eyed young woman hugged her friend.
"Ne, Tenten… I know he feels something about you… It's just…"
"It's just that he is the prodigy of the stupid-ness?"
"Yeah… if that make you feel better…"
"Yeah. He's the stupid not the genius of his clan… genius my---"
"Ssshhh… calm down, calm down…" Ino rolled her eyes and patted her back.

9:20 p.m.
Under a dark sky a cloud was hiding a full moon accompanied with some stars forming constellations far, far away.
When the cloud moved out from the moon, its light soaked the sand, the sea, a volleyball ball, and two tired figures leaning in the sand making and effort to breathe as much air as they could.
One of them stood up straight brushing off the sand on his shorts and sandals, and being careful he approached the other figure. That one stared—if not glared— at the one next to her, and rejecting his hand in a not polite way, she stood up and stormed in the house closing the slide glass door making it to crack in the corner of the bottom of it.
Sasuke looked at the moon and chuckled for his own pleasure.
"You're a bad loser Sakura"
And with that he went in the house and closed the slide door not so gently.

11:45 p.m.
After a heated discussion during more than half an hour, Sakura and Sasuke decided—at last, to share the room, but more than decided together, Sasuke decided for her since she was under his control. At first, when he ordered her to share the bed with him, she tried to knocked the lights out of him but couldn't because of the lack of energy wasted in the volleyball challenge, 'cause it turned to be a challenge, a challenge she was beaten again.
At this hour, both of them were laying in their sides of the bed, with a fancy pillow under their head. To Sakura didn't take too much to fall asleep since she was pretty tired, even if she tried to be awake just in case somebody tries something under the sheets, but when she realized that Sasuke felt asleep at the second his body touched the bed, she felt free to fall asleep.
Only the rhythm breathing of both of them could be heard in the room when a 'crack' sound broke the enchanted dream of the medic-nin.
Sakura opened her eyes groggily, and when she saw nothing in the middle of the night—duh!— she decided to dose off again thinking that maybe, it was her imagination. Who on earth would want to intrude, at this hour of the night, in a big beach house, protected with chakra all around?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
12: 01 p.m.
Sasuke turned to his left on the bed and with him he pulled some of the sheets; Sakura frowning, unconsciously pulled the sheets this time over her and turned to her right.
Suddenly, she felt something like caressing up her thigh. Her eyes got wide and the first thing she felt was near her was…
Uchiha!
She slapped him.
HARD
"TEME TAKE YOUR HAND OFF MY THIGH!"
Sasuke woke up upset not knowing what hell was happening in the first place, when he noticed something beside him screaming like a frenzy and mad woman in labour.
"Sakura, STOP with the screaming" Sasuke glared at the shadowy figure.
"YOUR HAND. OFF MY THIGH. NOW!"
"Hn, BOTH OF THEM are on my ears. Shut up now!"
The pink haired tentatively reach the Uchiha's head to find he was telling the truth. Her jaw started to tremble.
Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs.

12:16 p.m.
"What's going on Lee that can't wait for tomorrow morning… how troublesome" Shikamaru asked trying to sweep away the comfortable sleep he was having.
"Sakura-san and Sasuke-san are…" Lee gulped and Shikamaru noticed a visible blush on Lee's cheeks.
"Sasuke try it harder, HARDER! Aren't you a shinobi!"
"Shut up Sakura! I'm doing what I can!"
Shikamaru stood there like a stone and then looked at Rock Lee who was petrify with his eyes locked in the black monitor 'cause of the lack of light, (since the lights when they turned off they only can be turn on the day after, it was for saving the electricity) and with his ears pasted at the sound of hard breathing and movements over the queen size bed.
"Ah… ah… Sa-Sasuke, there it comes again!"
"Shikamaru… they're…" The fuzzy brows young man trailed off.
"Shit… SAKURA MOVE!"
"...definitely they are…"
The Nara genius and Rock lee took a seat at the panel control, closed their eyes and gulped, and with a smooth move they loose the collar of their pyjamas.
"Kakashi-sensei… is a bad example…" Lee stated.
"Indeed…"
And more weird noises could be heard in the monitors' room that night.
