Wild Thing
Chapter Six: Dancing in the Street
Letting himself groan agonizingly to himself, Sasuke lay completely lifeless on his bed while Naruto and Sakura huddled secretly on the bottom bunk, planning something so completely beyond him. Whether it be some lame prank or conspiring against the Aoi's, Sasuke couldn't possibly sleep through the loud, laughing noises. At least Sai wasn't here. He didn't need to be glared at while being annoyed by a couple of sitting monkeys at the same time.
"And we'll need this too." he heard Sakura scribbling something down on a piece of paper.
"Oh, what about this." He heard Naruto, and messier scribbling.
"No way! How are we going to pay for that?"
"But it's fun!"
"Yeah, but..." there was a pause. "Well, maybe we can convince Jiraiya to pay for it."
"Are you sure about that? If he does, we'll definitely be obliged to invite him."
"He'll probably start reading that perverted book of his."
"The second volume he's working on is actually pretty good."
"Naruto, you don't know what you're talking about."
"Right."
Whatever they were planning, Sasuke didn't want to hear any part of it. Except maybe Sakura voi-
THAT'S IT.
Quickly grabbing a pillow, he stood on his feet without the concern of being discreet, causing Naruto and Sakukra's head to shoot up. They stared after him as he walked towards the door. Before turning the knob, Sasuke gave Sakura a quick side glance.
What was happening to him?
The Aoi's watched suspiciously as the Aka's discussed details of a little plan of their's. Was it another prank? They were really good when it came to that, but that only made the Aoi's shiver with paranoia. That wasn't even the worst of the situation: the white haired man with the porno book was back, and he looked a little too happy. He walked around the school with an air of excitement creating a fearful vibe within the Aoi gang.
"What's he so happy about?"
"I'll bet anything the Aka's are going to pull the 'lock-our-enemies-in-the-gym-while-the-weird-white-haired-guy-reads-his-nasty-porn-book-and-makes-them-all-suffer' ploy."
"They wouldn't pull the same stunt twice."
"Sure, but who knows, they are pretty stupid."
They were totally blocking out the fact that they were beaten by the Aka's at the academic competition. But that's okay, because the Aka's were blocking out the fact that they were out-pranked by the Aoi's on their first day of school.
Meanwhile with the Aka's:
"So we're having another party?" asked Shino, who didn't look pleased or disappointed.
Kiba shook his head at him with disdain and said, "Why are you even here?"
"What do you mean?"
"How are you an Aka with an attitude like that!?"
Shino shrugged. "I didn't get accepted into Aoi high school."
Kiba gaped as if he had been altogether insulted by what his so-called-friend said. "I can't even look at you right now."
Shikamaru rolled his eyes. "Kiba, he was kidding."
"No, he wasn't. I know that certain look in his eyes and it tells me he was telling the truth!" Kiba's eyes popped out on him as he shrieked.
"Actually, I waskidding." Shino bluntly confirmed.
"Oh." Kiba muttered. "Sorry."
"Can we please return to the 'party' subject!" bellowed Konohamaru with excitement rushing through his body. "School starts tomorrow and I need all the fun I can absorb before being placed in a class full of shit-monsters." he proclaimed, obviously referring to the Aoi's.
"I agree." said Chouji.
"Me, too." said Tenten, slamming her locker open, revealing an enormous stack of CDs. "I'm going to contribute my mixed CDs for the party. What are you guys going to do?" she asked with utmost excitement.
Kiba smirked and pointed a thumb at himself. "I'm going to bring in a few old, beaten cars for the couples who care to make out. Me of course." He added the last part with extreme confidence. "Whoever's planning this party is a genius." he said. "Not only is it being held on the streets, but right across the Aoi rec room!" Kiba hi-fived Chouji and Konohamaru.
A spark of inspiration grew in the depths of Lee's soul. He was your regular nice guy, but even he wanted to see the shocked, annoyed, looks on the Aoi's faces. This earned him an ecstatic hi-five from Kiba.
"Well, I'm going to contribute myself to the party." said Ino as she flipped her hair. "Because honestly, that's all a party really needs." she laughed insolently behind the palm of her hand. Then she suddenly stopped. "But seriously, I'm bringing in the party lights."
"Then who the hell is bringing the alcohol!?" shouted Kiba.
"That my friend," said a familiar voice from behind. Kiba and Konohamaru felt a sloppy arm go around their shoulder and in between them was a boy grinning with inspiration. "would be me."
"Naruto!" both roared at the top of their lungs with happiness you couldn't even imagine.
"I knew I could count on you." Kiba said with hearts in his eyes creeping the guys out a little.
Naruto shrugged. "Yeah, well, the idea of having the party in the streets, across the Aoi rec room was actually Sakura-chan's idea."
"She's an evil genius."
"That's my girl." Naruto proudly announced.
"Speaking of girls, have any of you seen Suigetsu around?" asked Kiba, being completely serious. "He's my roommate and he's been eyeing me out lately. I think he wants to 'Chainsaw Massecre' my ass." Everyone shrugged, not entirely sure they want to know. "I accidentally locked him into the girl's bathroom because I thought that was where he belonged, and ever since then, he's been avoiding me."
"Doesn't he avoid you anyway?" asked Ino.
"Well, yeeeeah." Kiba rolled his eyes. "But he's avoiding me in a way that's really starting to spook me."
"Seeing as how that makes absolutely no sense, let's focus on the main event tonight." Shikamaru cut in. "I think we should start earlier than usual."
Naruto looked at him emotionless. "Is it because you need your beauty sleep in the middle of the night?"
"Yes."
"Then no."
Shikamaru shrugged and partially fell asleep on his locker.
Sakura walked down the hallways of Konoha high and spread the news of the party being held at seven sharp. Everyone seemed enthusiastic about the up and coming party, and immediately went up to their dorms to get ready. The Aoi's still had no idea what was going on and assumed it was a prank they were trying to pull.
That, Sakura thought, is the beauty of leaving their enemies out of the loop. Of course, who would ever bring them in? They were absolutely clueless and fear overtook them, torturing their insides, making them go insane.
As soon as she was about to get ready herself, she spotted a red-headed boy leaning against his locker in solitude. Sakura stopped in her tracks and pondered for a while. Should she invite him? Would it be wise? She looked at his collar and noticed he wore no tie. Neither an Aoi or Aka, Sakura decided it would be okay.
"Hey, Gaara!" she called out to him.
Shaken out of his secret thoughts, he turned to face the retard who interrupted him and glowered at a green eyed girl who came running towards him with enthusiasm.
"Are you doing anything tonight?" she asked innocently.
Gaara looked down into her sparkling, emerald eyes, and turned away. "Maybe."
"Because you are cordially invited to come to the party I'm planning, with Naruto of course." she added briefly.
"Who's Naruto?"
"Only my bestest friend in the whole world!"
"Not interested." he grabbed his bag and made an attempt to leave.
Sakura grinned after him. "Okay, I'll see you there!" she waved.
Gaara turned his head and gave her a long, intimidating look before walking away.
Pink hair.
Green eyes.
Soft skin.
Perfect body.
These thoughts continued to torture Sasuke, and he couldn't get away from it's tight hold. He leaned his head against his arms and tried to concentrate on important things, which he had no idea. What was important to him anyway? He never really thought about it until now. What was it about this girl that made him think of things he would never think of!
He couldn't go back in his room while it was partially infested with her.
So he decided to sleep in the rec room, wake up early, and go to his room if he absolutely needed to.
This has been going on for three days now, and he felt like he couldn't keep it up any longer. Especially since...
"Hello, Sasuke-kun!" A room full of girls came crashing into the room with apparent beams of happiness radiating off their faces, noticing Sasuke hadn't quite changed out of his pajamas (consisting of boxers and a tight fitting t-shirt.
He let out a frustrated sigh when he saw the drools dripping from their mouths.
'It's time to live in my room again.' he thought as he grabbed his things all at once and quickly made his way out the door.
"I can't believe you pulled this off!" Tenten shouted, dancing crazily at the top of a beaten down car, while the couple inside made out furiously. "This is a great party!" she shouted through the music.
Sakura smiled brightly dancing on a car next to Tenten's. "Thanks! And great music!"
Tenten twirled around in her skirt and laughed as a few boys made their way up to join her.
The party was intense and wild, but in an awesome way. The music was loud and booming, the dancing was crazy, the chicks were hot, and drinks were awesome and the food was being devoured by Chouji.
Naruto and a group of guys brought in more kegs and he wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinning like a wild fox.
"How did you get Tsunade to agree to this party?" asked Shino.
"Yeah, not to mention Orochimaru." said Kiba.
Naruto grinned like an evil genius. "Well, they don't know anything about it." he shrugged.
The guys looked at him like he was crazy.
"Are you kidding me!? How can they not know with all this noise going on!" Shikamaru shouted through the loud music, a little grumpy because he didn't get enough 'beauty' sleep.
"Because they're not here." said Naruto in a casual, evil voice.
Konohamaru smirked. "Don't tell me they fell for the 'you received a free room at Konoha's prestigious and private Uzuruno Hotel' invitation?"
Naruto shrugged again. "Works all the time."
"Huh." replied Konohamaru. "I'm surprised both of them fell for it. Tsunade's been tricked into your 'invitation' ploy for years, and I thought Orochimaru would be intelligent enough to realize Uzuruno Hotel doesn't exist."
Kiba laughed. "Yeah. How the hell did you get Uzuruno anyway?"
"A combination of Haruno and Uzumaki." Naruto grinned. "Sakura's the one who made it up while we were..."
There was a pregnant pause.
"You know?" he said uncomfortably.
The guys made an 'o' shaped mouth, and continued to be a part of the awesome party.
No matter where they were, the Aoi's couldn't help but hear the intense and defeaning music being played out on the streets. Not only did the music trouble their minds, it was the laughter and chatter that made them mad with envy.
The Aoi's were known for their collected and composed attitudes towards almost anything, and fun usually consisted of trying to be the best at everything. It's not like they didn't enjoy being great,
because they really did,
but sometimes they wanted more.
"Who's up for beer pong!?"
A voice outside caught everyone's attention from inside the Aoi rec room.
Suigetsu scoffed and continued shooting pool with Juugo as his opponent. "You can just tell that was Uzumaki..." he muttered bitterly, "and his stupid dog-faced friend."
"Your roommate who locked you into the girl's bathroom?"
"Juugo, it's your turn." Suigetsu quickly responded.
A few people slightly pushed the curtain aside and watched longingly at what was going on outside. "Wow, beer pong looks really fun." said a sophomore boy, staring out the window with an urge to go out there and play.
A loud noise came crashing to the floor and the Aoi's turned their attention away from the tempting party.
Suigetsu threw the cue ball with such force catching everyones' eyes. "I can't take it anymore." he growled.
Karin looked at him oddly, while sitting nervously on the couch. Sometimes Suigetsu gives her the impression of a serial killer, and she could've sworn he's looked at her like he wanted to saw her into two.
"Let's go out there and stop this psycho fest from going on any further!" he roared with determination.
"Yeah!" the Aoi's nodded their head with agreement.
"We'll need every single Aoi in order to stop this thing." said Neji. "Because they won't back down unless we're all together."
"Agreed." said Juugo. "I'll gather everyone else and we'll meet by the exit."
Sakura took a few shots of alcohol with some guy buddies, and laughed hysterically after her third shot, flirting aimlessly with whoever stood in her sight (much to that guy's happiness).
"This is so fun!" Ino said, taking a few shots of her own. "Another great party, Forehead." she said in her own respective way.
"Thanks, Ino." said Sakura. "It means a lot coming from a pig."
Ino let that comment pass as an exception. But tomorrow she'll be all over Sakura with insults she'll come up with tonight.
"Uh, Sakura," Konohamaru nudged her nervously, interrupting her from taking a fourth shot.
She had to stare at him for a long time to confirm who was talking to her, and her eyes lit up. "Jiraiya! You've finally brought the inflatable jumping castle!" she gripped tightly onto Konohmaru's shoulder and laughed for no apparent reason.
Konohamaru stared at her oddly and turned to face Ino with a questioning look. Ino seemed to be engulfed with laughter also. "Listen, we've got trouble. Naruto told me to tell you that the Aoi's have come to crash the party. I repeat: the Aoi's have come to crash the party!" he shook Sakura, hoping it would return her to normal.
Unexpectedly, Sakura grew quiet with seriousness, lost in thoughts. She turned away from Konohamaru and pushed her way through the oblivious crowd. Apparently, they were having way too much fun to notice an entire school of Aoi's invading their party-time.
At some distance, Sakura saw Naruto and a few guys glaring and crossing their arms at their enemies who didn't look very pleased. "What's going on?" she made her way towards Naruto and narrowed her eyes at the intruders.
Suigetsu stepped in front and glowered down at her. "You're disturbing our peace, and if you want to live to see another day, you'll stop what you're doing right now-"
"Don't threaten her." Naruto growled, tightening his fist, getting ready for a huge battle.
"Then pull the plug already." Suigetsu growled just as intimidating.
Sakura stood in between them and smirked. "Guys, let's not fight, all right?" she turned her attention to the Aoi's and said, "I can see you're all bored sitting in a room, a little tempted by our awesome, super cool party we have here." The Aoi's glared menacing towards her, but listened nonetheless. "And seeing as how we're not wearing our uniforms today, how about we all assume we're not apart of rivalry." she smiled when she saw the considering looks upon their faces. "So tonight, and tonight only, you are invited to our 'pre-welcome-back-to-school' party!" she shouted.
The Aoi's nodded their heads, agreeing with Sakura completely, not being able to turn down an offer like this.
Plus, they suddenly saw a jumping castle being pumped with air before their eyes. They were a little tempted by that, too.
"Hey, Naruto, Sakura!" Jiraiya waved from a distance. "Sorry I'm late!"
"No problem, you old pervert!" Naruto shouted and returned the wave.
Sakura never took her eyes off the Aoi crowd. "So what do you say?"
"I'm in!"
"Of course!"
"Let's do this."
"Awesome..."
"Are you fucking kidding me?" a voice, most likely Suigetsu's replied. "We're not going to pretend like we're not enemies just because we're not wearing our uniforms. This party is coming to an end right-!"
"Body shots everyone!" a random, but overly excited voice shouted to the crowd.
Everyones' eyes focused on a girl with her top off, a guy licking salt off her body, taking a shot of tequila, and sucking a piece of lime from her mouth.
"LET'S PARTY!" Suigetsu roared, having no patience of waiting to do a body shot off some random, hot chick.
"Gaara?" Sakura squinted her eyes at the red headed boy who currently stood in front of her. Was it the body shot she did two minutes ago that made her go crazy? Is she seeing things?
The figure crossed his arms with an expressionless look on him. "Looks like everyone's together." he said, unable to believe he came himself.
"You're actually here." she smiled, nudging him with her elbow.
Gaara scoffed. "Like I had a choice."
"You said you weren't interested."
"And you said 'see you there'."
"Oh yeah." Sakura said thoughtfully. "Wanna be my body shot partner?" she smirked seductively.
Gaara raised an amused eyebrow.
Sasuke droned every single noise coming from the party outside and lay peacefully on the bottom of his bunk. Fortunately, Sai was nowhere to be seen, so he found himself in the zone. Except, not really, because Sakura was still stuck to his mind. Why did she have to be so...different? Why couldn't she be like every other girl who goggled at the sight of him and treated him like the god of the universe?
Maybe then he wouldn't be thinking of her so much.
A loud slam caused Sasuke to cringe, and he turned his head to see a couple of drunk morons coming through the door.
Naruto was completely knocked out and Sakura somehow supported his weight onto her's.
"Damn you, Naruto." she struggled holding up his heavy body. "You've been eating more than three ramens a day, haven't you?" she cursed him and threw him carelessly on the bottom part of the bunk bed. She wiped the sweat away from her forehead and turned to face Sasuke. "Uchiha, you missed a great party." she climbed the stairs to her top bunk, nearly falling in the process.
Sasuke stared at her emotionless, knowing it was the effects of alcohol.
"Everyone was there! The Aka's, Aoi's - by the way, I didn't know you guys could party that hard. I was pretty shocked." she plopped right into her bed and pulled the covers over her body. "I mean, even Gaara came. Gaara. The Sabaku kid who doesn't socialize with anyone..."
The fact that Sakura was able to talk aimlessly after coming back from a long, hard, exhausting party surprised Sasuke.
Here she was, talking casually to the enemy.
Sasuke pondered on that thought.
Can he honestly consider themselves enemies?
"The jumping castle was a success. I guess Naruto was right, it was worth having Jiraiya there."
He didn't know what their relationship was. It wasn't hate, definitely not love. He knew he lusted after her, but what did she feel for him?
"He did try to start a session involving reading the second volume of his Icha Icha series, though..."
Did Sasuke really want to know how she felt?
"That kinda ruined the party a little."
Sasuke stared at Sakura who continued to talk randomly about the successful party she and her partner planned, while falling asleep in the process. He quietly chuckled to himself and stared at the clock.
3:37
He couldn't believe they partied eight hours straight.
There was no sympathy in him knowing everyone in school would have major hangovers once school officially starts today.
In fact, he couldn't wait.
