Sakura Kiss
"Ah the mall!" Ino grinned as she stretched her arms out.
"She's home" Temari joked.
I smiled as I looked around. I've never been to this mall before. Everyone that shopped her was rich, famous, or even both. So before we left, Ino decided to give me a makeover. Now that I arrived at the mall, I regret letting her give me one.
"Ooh, check out that cutie with the pink hair" a guy said as he was passing by.
"I know what you mean, she's a 9 if not a 10" His friend said.
"Dudes, shut up, look who she's with" Another said.
"Shit! That's the student council from Konoha Academy. Never mind, she must be with one of them. Look at how they're staring at us. Like the boyfriend and his friends are protecting the girl of the group." The last guy said. "Let's go"
Great, I'm never going to make new friends.
"Can you guys take it down a few notches? You're scaring people away" I said as I glared at them.
"They were looking at you like a dog would with a bone." Naruto said. "It would be good to pretend you're with one of us. So people would think you're taken Sakura-chan. I volunte-"
Ino quickly pushed Naruto out of the way. "Naruto, go with Hinata. Tenten and Neji should go with each other. Temari can go with Shino, and I'll go with Shika-kun"
"But Ino, that only leaves Sasuke and Sai" I said.
I swear I saw Ino give me an evil smile. "Then you can go with both"
And that's how we walked around folk! Naruto was grumbling about how Ino was trying to play matchmaker. I could see how she was. Ino liked Shikamaru. I never met the guy until this week, but she's always told me she liked this guy at school who she knew for a long time and was really smart. So Shikamaru had to be the guy. It was obvious that Hinata liked Naruto. Who couldn't see that? Seriously, she turns red by just saying his name or him just looking at her. Well maybe Kiba was right. Naruto really was dense. I'm not sure about Tenten and Temari though. I always had a feeling Tenten liked Lee-san. Temari never told me who she liked. So maybe the matchmaking was just for Ino and Hinata.
"Actually…" Ino began to say. "Sakura, why don't you go with Shikamaru?"
"Eh?" I said looking at her confused. Did she not want to be with Shikamaru?
"I needed Sasuke-kun and Sai-kun to help me get something" Ino said as she pulled them away leaving me with Shikamaru.
"I guess it's just the two of us" I said as I linked arms with him. Shikamaru was surprised by my actions but said nothing.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked.
"I'm feeling Starbucks" I grinned as I pulled him to the nearest one. "Do you want one? My treat!"
"I never tried Starbucks before" He confessed as I stopped in my tracks.
"You never had Starbucks? What's wrong with you? You have to try a double chocolaty chip! It's my favorite!" I said as I got in line.
"Women are so troublesome" Shikamaru said as he followed me. When I finally got to the cashier, I was surprised to see…
"Hikaru!" I said. Hikaru looked up and smiled.
"Sakura, aren't you too poor to be at the mall" He whispered to me.
"You're a jerk" I said as I rolled my eyes.
"I know" He grinned
I shook my head as I laughed. "Can I have a double chocolaty chip?"
"Tall, Grande, or Venti?" He asked me.
"Grande" I smiled.
"That would be $3.30"
I was about to take out my money when Shikamaru quickly pulled out a five and paid for me.
Hikaru then noticed Shikamaru behind me. "Boyfriend number two?" He asked.
"Who, Shikamaru?" I asked as I pointed at him.
"How troublesome. I'm not her boyfriend" Shikamaru said.
"Oh, sorry man, it's just that you seem protective of her when I was talking to her and you paid for her drink and stuff. You were just like that Gaara guy that works at the Youthful café. I thought he was her boyfriend as well" Hikaru explained. "So what's your relationship with him, Sakura?"
I grinned at Hikaru as I patted Shikamaru on the back. "I'm his mommy"
Hikaru laughed. "Good one. Well, I'll talk to you some other time. I'm working. See you later"
"Alright. Bye Hikaru" I said as I went in the other line to get my drink.
"A friend of yours?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah. Our moms used to be good friends. So ever since that accident, she's always been looking out for me." I smiled.
"Sakura?" A worker called out as she handed me my drink. I waited for her to give me it but noticed she had hearts in her eyes. I followed her gaze and saw that she was looking at Shikamaru.
"Would you like anything sir?" The girl asked. She was trying to fix herself before squeezing her arms a little into her chest trying to show her cleavage to us. What's happening to the girls these days?
I rolled my eyes. Just give me my damn drink already.
"No ma'am. My girlfriend and I are going to share a drink" Shikamaru said. His answer surprised me. Shikamaru grabbed my hand and pulled me away from Starbucks. I looked back to see the woman glaring daggers at me. She pissed me off so I stuck my tongue out at her.
Shikamaru and I finally stopped walking as we sat down at the water fountain in the center of the mall.
"Do you always go through that?" I asked as I began to take a sip of my drink.
"Yeah. That's why women are so troublesome." Shikamaru said. I glared at him as he let out a chuckle. "You're different though. When girls see me and my brothers, they all begin to act like fangirls. I thought I would never meet a girl who could stand against our charm"
"But my friends don't eye-google you or anything" I said.
"I know. But it's only because I've known Ino since we were in diapers. So of course she wouldn't act like that. We're best friends. She wouldn't like me like that"
"I'd think otherwise" I muttered.
"Huh?" Shikamaru said.
"Nothing" I smiled. "Oh, here try some" I lifted my drink closer to Shikamaru's mouth.
"If it tastes bad, you have to cook me a really good dinner. None for the others" Shikamaru said as he took a sip. I watched with anticipation as I saw him gulped the drink. He soon grabbed my drink from my hands and began to walk away. I grinned. That meant he liked the drink. I then realized that Shikamaru jacked me of my Double Chocolaty Chip.
"HEY!" I called out as I ran after him. "That's mine! Go buy your own"
Shikamaru smirked as he raised the drink above his head. I frowned. Curse my shortness!
"If I remember right, I did pay for it" Shikamaru said. I should have known better than to mess with him. This guy is going to become the Military's Strategist.
"Fine" I growled. There goes my Starbucks.
Shikamaru soon gave me back my drink. It was half gone. "I liked it" He said.
"I knew you would. Who doesn't like a Double Chocolaty Chip?" I said as I was going to take a sip.
"NO!" A voice shouted as the drink was slapped out of my hand. "That's like kissing!"
"You're too late Naruto. We already shared the drink" Shikamaru said. I didn't say anything as I was trying to control my anger. I looked at the spilt drink on the floor. I didn't even get to finish it.
"Na-ru-to" I growled.
"N-Naruto-kun, I w-would back away from her now" Hinata's worried voice said.
"Sakura-chan wouldn't hit me. I'm her favorite s-"Naruto flew around the mall due to my punch. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow as Hinata sighed.
"You should join a fighting club or something" Hinata said with a smile.
"You're right Hinata! I should do that!" I smiled. "You're so smart!"
Hinata blushed as she rapidly shook her head. "N-No. I-I'm not as smart as you or p-pretty"
My mouth dropped. "Hinata, you are pretty. I'm jealous. You have these!" I said touching her breast then I touched mine. Compared to Hinata, I'm like a baseball while she's like coconuts!
The guys as the mall blushed at the scene as Shikamaru was trying to control his nosebleed.
"What happened to Naruto?" Tenten asked as she and Neji arrived to where we were.
"He pissed Sakura off" Shikamaru said. Neji noticed the little blood stain near Shikamaru's nose.
"What happened to you?" Neji asked.
"Don't worry about it" He mumbled.
"Were we all supposed to meet in front of the water fountain?" Temari asked as she arrived with Shino and a knocked out Naruto. I soon noticed that Ino, Sasuke, and Sai weren't back yet. I wonder where they went…
XxXxXxX
"Here we are!" Ino smiled as Sasuke and Sai paled. This was a girl's store…Victoria's Secret to be exact.
"Why are we here?" Sai asked. "I thought we all came to the mall so you can buy Sakura a bathing suit."
"We did." Ino said.
"This store only sells lingerie" Sasuke said.
"To the common costumers. But Ino Yamanaka is no common costumer. I know the manager here"
The three entered the store as a woman greeted them.
"Hello, welcome to Victoria's Secret…" The woman paused as she looked to see Sasuke and Sai. Her face turned red. "If you like see any bras and underwear, just ask me to try it on for you. This can be one of Victoria's Secrets. The name is Sofia by the way" She blinked at the boys as Ino rolled her eyes.
"Excuse me; I'm looking for Haku, the manager of this store. I'm Ino Yamanaka; I came here to inspect the workers and the store itself. And honestly, I am not happy with what I saw"
Sofia's eyes widened as she quickly bowed. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were coming. Let me get my boss!"
Ino cracked up as Sasuke smirked.
"That was smart" Sai said.
The three soon heard yelling in the back.
"INO YAMANAKA! DID YOU SAY INO YAMANKA WAS HERE?!" A woman's voice shouted. "Why were you flirting? I should have you fired."
"I'm sorry! I didn't know she was an inspector!"
"Inspector? Oh my…" A woman with long black hair and a red kimono came running up to the front. Sasuke and Sai had to agree. The woman was pretty.
"Ino!" Haku greeted.
"Haku!" Ino smiled as they hugged each other. "I'm here for the stuff"
Haku's eyes widened before smiling. "Oh yes, right away"
"Alright" Ino said. "Let's go"
The four went to the back of the store to see many bathing suits.
"These are nice, ma'am" Sai said.
Haku and Ino paused before laughing.
"What's so funny?" Sasuke asked.
"Haku isn't a girl! He's a man." Ino said. "This is one of Victoria's secrets"
"I may be a man physically, but my heart is 100% female!" Haku said drawing a heart in the air with his two fingers. "And I have a boyfriend who loves me"
Sasuke and Sai sweat dropped.
"So, what would you like to see Sakura in? A one piece or two piece?" Ino asked.
Sasuke and Sai blushed.
"Don't ask me!" Sasuke said as he tried to control his blush.
"A two piece would be nice on her" Sai said still blushing.
"See! Sai knows what he wants to see" Ino joked.
"A two piece it is" Haku said as he tied his hair up into a pony-tail. "Let me take you to the two-piece sections"
"What color would you guys like her to be in?" Ino asked.
"Blue" Sasuke said.
"Black" Sai said.
Sasuke and Sai glared at each other.
"She should wear blue. Besides you already chose to have her wear a two piece"
"Blue? Sakura would look nicer in black. Black would go with her pink hair and green eyes"
Ino sighed. Were these two as dense as Naruto? It was pretty obvious what was going on.
'I'm not letting Sakura where his color' the boys thought.
"Pink hair and green eyes, huh?" Haku asked as he looked around the racks. "A nice green bathing suit would look nice on her"
"I should have just come here by myself" Ino grumbled as she continued to watch the brothers glare at each other. "These idiots didn't help at all"
XxXxXxX
"You guys bought me a bathing suit?!" I said surprised as the guys and I were about to head off to our trip.
"It's a thank you present for putting up with our actions" Naruto said as he pulled me into a hug and rubbed our cheeks together.
"Stop hugged her every chance you get!" Sasuke said as he chopped Naruto on top of the head.
I smiled as I hugged each of them. "Thank you so much."
We all soon heard honking to see Kakashi and Shizune in a limo. "Let's go kids!" Kakashi called out.
"The pervert is coming?" Neji asked.
"It's okay" I said. "The more the merrier, right?"
"I guess…" Everyone said. I guess they didn't want to make me sad.
The drive took an hour as we arrived at a mansion. It was a smaller version than most of the mansions I have seen, but it was still a mansion no doubt.
"Are we going to visit someone before heading to the summer house?" I asked. Everyone looked at me weird.
"Sakura-chan, this is actually the summer house" Shizune smiled.
EH! This mansion was the summer house!
"Welcome!" The butlers, maids, chefs, gardeners, etc greeted us.
"Who is this young lady?" someone asked.
"This is the late Minato's lovely wife, Sakura Haruno" Kakashi introduced me.
"She's so beautiful" people began to say.
"I've never heard of the name Haruno. What's her status?"
"She's so young. She looks at least 17 if not 18. I wonder what foundation she uses"
I quickly ran into the mansion embarrassed.
"What the hell" I said as I walked up to the sons. "I thought we were going to stay at a summer house, not a mansion. Since you guys were all rich, I thought you'd live in a mansion like this, not the other way around."
"Well Minato always wanted us to live a normal life even though we all came from a rich family." Naruto said. I began to sweat drop. You called this normal, Minato?
I sighed. All this richness stuff is kind of hard to get use to. I soon went to find Shizune and Kakashi.
"Alright, so I got the guys to take me to a trip willingly. So this goal is over right?" I asked.
"Not exactly" Shizune said. "As Kakashi probably told you, there is two parts to this goal. The first part was to have the sons take you on vacation. The second part is to do all these while you are here"
Kakashi raised a scroll as it unrolled all the way to the floor. There were ten tasks on the paper.
I swear, these two were out to make my life here miserable. I took the scroll and read the first task.
"Get all the sons to eat together for a meal." I read. Sounded easy, right?
I went to the kitchen and asked the chefs to let me prepare dinner tonight. They began to protest but then I told them my reason. Honestly, they were touched.
"You are so kind Sakura-sama" The chefs said. I smiled as I told them they could help me prepare it as well.
I soon left the kitchen to find the others.
I saw Naruto and Sasuke arguing in the hallway.
"Hey guys" Naruto's angry face turned into a smiling one.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted as he hugged me. Man, this guy really loved to hug people.
"Are you guys going to do anything around dinner?" I began to ask. "Because I'm plan-"
"I have stuff to do" Sasuke said as he walked away.
"Sorry Sakura-chan, but Sasuke and I have to do something tonight, but we'll try to make it to dinner. I promise" Naruto smiled at me before leaving me to go after Sasuke.
I soon looked for Shikamaru and found him with Neji. The two were sparring outside.
"Hey" I said.
They didn't hear me as they were fighting each other. Neji's hands were moving so fast while Shikamaru was being pushed back. Shikamaru soon went on offense as he began to attack Neji with kunai and shurikens. The fight made my Yankee blood boil but I had to control it. I walked away from that life a long time ago.
"Did you need something?" Shino asked. I didn't even notice he was here with the guys.
"I was wondering if you guys would stay for d-"
"I'm sorry Sakura-san, but I was planning to eat dinner really early because tonight I'm going to go bug hunting" Shino said.
I tried to smile at him. "It's okay, I'll just eat by myself tonight then" I soon walked away looking for Sai. Hopefully he might be able to stay tonight. I didn't bother asking Neji and Shikamaru. They were too into their fight.
I found Sai near the beach as he was drawing the ocean.
"You're really good" I said as Sai didn't say anything. He just continued to draw.
"Are you going to stay for dinner tonight?" I asked getting to the point. "Or are you busy tonight"
"I'm going to be drawing the whole day" Sai said. "This place is good to get ideas"
"I see" I said as I walked back to the mansion defeated.
After a couple of hours, I began to prepare dinner for myself. I told the chefs they could take the rest of the day off. I made a light dinner for myself as I began to eat silently in the large dining room. Here I was eating meals alone once again.
After dinner, I went to my room to brush my teeth, changed to my nightgown and slept early. After a few minutes, I woke up so I couldn't go back to sleep. So I made a phone call.
"Hey Ino" I greeted.
"Hey Sakura! How's the trip?" Ino asked.
"Not so good. The evil duo decided to give me tasks to do while I'm here with the guys. I have to get them to all show up and eat together for my first task. But they're all busy"
"I have a plan!" Ino said.
"What?"
"Give me 30 minutes and you'll see." Ino soon hung up on me. I looked at my borrowed blackberry as I sighed. 30 minutes later, there was a blackout. I heard this area had random storms but I didn't expect it happen here. I'm afraid of thunder. I heard something crash. My blood turn cold as my heart began to beat rapidly. Did someone break into the house?
"Naruto?" I shouted. No reply.
"Sasuke-kun?" Silence.
"Sai-kun?" no movement.
"Shika-kun?" Nothing.
"Shino-kun?" Quiet.
"Neji-kun" No answer.
I began to hyperventilate. Someone else was in the house.
I heard someone walking. Looking down the hallway, there was a shadowy figure as he turned to look at me. Behind him was a maid trying to stop him. He soon moved quickly towards me. With no weapons with me or protection, I did what most girls would do in this situation. I screamed as loud as I could.
XxXxXxX
Shino had gotten back from his bug hunting as he had caught many fireflies in a jar. He had heard a terrified scream coming from the mansion.
"It's okay; I'll just eat by myself tonight then"
His eyes widened. Sakura was in the mansion by himself. Was she in danger? He ran quickly to her.
XxX
Sai was drawing at the beach, when he heard the scream. It startled him as he messed up on his artwork. That scream sounded like Sakura. Leaving his art behind, he ran towards the mansion.
XxX
Shikamaru and Neji had gone to buy surfboards and other stuff for the beach tomorrow. While walking back, they saw a woman crying to the police.
"He came out of nowhere. He asked me if there was a summer house close by. He said he was looking for someone. I was guessing for his next victim. I was terrified, so I pointed to the Namikaze summer house. I'm so sorry. I hope no young woman is there alone at the house. He might do something to her." The woman cried.
Neji and Shikamaru panicked as they heard screaming coming from the mansion. Worried, they came rushing back to their summer house. If they waited for a bit, they would have noticed the woman and the cops smiling.
XxX
Sasuke and Naruto came back after buying fireworks. When they reached the house, they saw that the house had a blackout and the window near the front doors was smashed meaning someone had broken it.
"Sasuke-sama! Naruto-sama! It's horrible" A old maid cried as she ran out of the house.
"What happened here?" Naruto asked. Neji, Shikamaru, Shino, and Sai soon arrived before the maid explained what happened.
"T-There was a blackout!" The maid cried as she tried to control her tears. "I went to go fix it but before I did, someone came and broke into the mansion. But instead of killing me, he ran passed me as if he was looking for something. I then noticed he was heading towards Sakura-sama's area. I soon heard a bloody scream as I hurried after him to see him running towards Sakura-sama who was standing in the hallways petrified. He grabbed the poor girl and put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her if I didn't let him leave with her. I-I'm so sorry"
"Where did they go?" Sasuke asked.
"I-I don't know!" The maid cried. "I'm so sorry masters"
"Go and search the area for clues" Shikamaru said as everyone ran into the house.
The old maid smirked as she removed her wig and costume.
"Hey Ino" Temari spoke in her microphone. "They're all looking for clues now"
"Good job" Ino said. "Hopefully Kakashi-sensei and Shizune-san did their part with the note"
Temari looked to see a woman and two cops come up to her.
"Shikamaru and Neji were really worried" Kankuro cracked up as he took off his cap and mustache. Gaara did the same.
"Serves them right for leaving Sakura by herself." Gaara said.
Tenten sighed as she took off her wig. "They're going to be mad when they find out what we did"
"Where's Sakura right now?" Temari asked.
"Lee, Kiba, and Chouji are with her at the cave near the ocean" Ino said.
"The Cave?" Gaara said.
"Yes the Cave" Ino said.
"Did you know there's a chance there might be high tide tonight?" Gaara said.
"There's a chance" Ino said. "Don't worry, I'd never put my best friend in any danger"
"Does she even know you're behind this and that it's not a fake" Hinata asked. She was with Ino.
Ino froze. "Oops" She said to the mic and Hinata. "I forgot to tell the guys to tell her about it when they get to the cave."
XxX
I glared at the three guys in front of me. They had the nerves to tie me up. One of them even tried to put a knife to my throat.
"Man, she's pissed" The tall lean one said.
"Are we even allowed to tell her who we are?" The fat one said.
"She didn't say anything about it" The third one said.
"ARF!" I was startled to see a puppy behind me and began to chew on my ropes. Where have I seen this dog before? That's when I got it.
"Kiba? Lee-san? Chouji?" I said.
Kiba took off his mask as he nervously laughed.
"Hey Sakura. This was all Ino's idea" Kiba said.
Lee and Chouji took off their masks as well. I picked up Akamaru to help me not yell at them.
"You guys freaking gave me a heart attack earlier!" I yelled at them.
"This was to help you and your sons get closer." Chouji said.
"Yes! This was all for your sake. Ino told us what happened and we all wanted to help you" Lee said.
"So, just play along for now" Kiba pleaded. "Just stay here, we'll be back to see what the others are up to"
"Others?" I asked.
"Do you remember the maid behind me?" Kiba asked. I nodded.
"That was Temari" He grinned. These guys were unbelievable.
"Well thank you guys for helping me" I smiled. Kiba and Lee blushed.
"Well we're going now" Chouji said as he began to snack on some chips.
"Yeah. We'll leave Akamaru with you" Kiba said. "Take care of her boy" Akamaru seemed to have understood what he said as he barked and nodded. Aw. They were like best friends.
I watched my friends leave as I sat down in the cool cave's ground.
XxXxXxX
Shino sighed as everyone was in Sakura's room. Everyone was arguing about the situation.
"How could you leave her alone?" Neji scolded at his younger brothers.
"You're one to talk" Sasuke snapped. "Who left her to go buy surfboards?"
"I was going to take her to go surfing, so I had to buy her one. She can't afford one!" Neji said. "What's your excuse?!"
"The dobe and I bought fireworks so she can play with them later during the trip!" Sasuke said.
"Sai chose his art works over Sakura-chan" Naruto glared at Sai.
"Well Shino left to go bug hunting" Sai said trying to defend himself.
"I wanted to catch fireflies to show Sakura-san later in the backyard" Shino said as he searched around Sakura's room until he saw a piece of paper. He soon called all the brothers over as they together read the paper.
If you want me to return the young lady back unharmed, you must do the following tasks with her for the rest of your stay here at the summer house:
Eat dinner together.
Join a sand castle competition and win.
Teach Sakura how to surf
Have a BBQ.
Go scuba-diving.
Play a game with watermelons.
Collect sea-shells and rocks.
Go hiking.
Watch the fireworks together.
Go to the summer festival near the town.
If you promise to do all these tasks with her, go find her at the cave near the beach. If I find out you fail to do these tasks, I will come back and take her from you forever.
Love, the person who kidnapped your friend.
Everyone sweat dropped at the note.
"This note seems like something Kakashi-sensei would write" Naruto said. The guys nodded their heads in agreement.
"You don't think he's the one who kidnapped her" Neji asked.
"No. Let's go to the cave. That's where the note said Sakura would be" Sasuke said.
"We have to hurry" Shikamaru said. "There's supposed to be high tie tonight"
"High tie! Sakura-chan we're coming" Naruto shouted as he sprinted out of the house as the others followed.
