Chapter Seven: Shikamaru asks Sakura on a Date

The only thing I own is this fanfiction. Nothing else. Otherwise, Sasuke would be dead from Gaara.


Sakura and Shikamaru went back to the house and Sakura crashed on the couch. "Man I'm tired." She said. "I'll be back. I have to go see my dad about something. I'll only be gone a few hours." Shikamaru said. "Ok." Sakura yawned.

Shikamaru smiled and left his apartment, locking the door behind him. Sakura curled up on the couch and went to sleep. Outside the window, a pair of Sharingan eyes watched her with barely concealed lust and rage. 'So that deer fag has her now? Well not for long.' Sasuke thought angrily (He broke out of jail). Sakura was sleeping, oblivious to the danger outside the window but someone else was not. Neji watched Sasuke to make sure he didn't make a move on Sakura while Shikamaru was out.

Sakura woke up and yawned, stretching, not noticing the chakra patterns outside the window. She went to the window though to look at the sky since Shikamaru had the best view ever. Sasuke's smirking face stared back at her and Sakura screamed in fear. She backed away from the window so fast that she nearly broke her neck on the couch. Sasuke came in the window and smirked more. "So you let that deer fag have you? How low you have sunk." He sneered. Sakura looked around frantically, judging the distance between now and safety. "You won't make it." Sasuke said as he correctly figured out her plans. 'SHIKAMARU!' Sakura thought frantically. Sasuke cornered her in the hall and ran a finger over her face. Sakura flinched and tried to bite him.

"Sakura that's no way to behave toward your future husband." Sasuke scolded as he slapped her. Sakura whimpered and tried to be brave. "I don't see him. When I do, I'll act accordingly." She replied. Sasuke drew his fist back and punched her in the mouth, busting her bottom lip and dazing her. Neji growled and came in through the window. "I think it's time for you to leave Uchiha." He said menacingly. Sasuke smirked wider. "Who are you to order me to leave my bitch?" He sneered. Sakura flinched at being addressed as so and tried to slip away from Sasuke. "I didn't tell you to move." Sasuke said as he slammed her back against the wall. Sakura sighed and rammed her foot into his groin with a mean smile. "I'm not your anything Sasuke. Now be a good boy and go back where you came from." She said angrily.

Sasuke fell over in pain and Neji took him back to jail. Sakura sighed and made some lunch for when Shikamaru came home so that she could relax.

Shikamaru came in from talking to his dad in a good mood. His mood evaporated when he saw the carnage in his living room. "Sakura-chan?" He called. "Hai?" Sakura called from the kitchen. "What happened to my house?" Shikamaru asked.

Sakura came out of the kitchen teary-eyed and bowed her head. "S-S-S...He attacked me again. But Neji-nii-san saved my ass." She replied timidly. Shikamaru wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled her neck. "Are you ok?" He asked worriedly. "H-hai. I was just scared. He hit me a few times but that's all." Sakura replied.

Shikamaru's eyes darkened. "I'll kill that son of a bitch." He said angrily. Sakura whimpered and dug her face into his neck. "Shh. It's ok Sakura." Shikamaru soothed.

"Um I made lunch. If you want to eat." Sakura said timidly. Shikamaru smiled. "I'm starving." He said as he steered Sakura toward the kitchen. With a smile, Sakura relaxed and resumed her normal attitude around the lazy Nara genius. Shikamaru blushed lightly as he found the words to ask Sakura what he wanted to ask her. "Sakura-chan would you like to go on a date with me?" He asked nervously. "HAI!!!" Sakura squealed. Shikamaru chuckled at her antics. "Ok. We'll leave at seven." He said. Sakura nodded. "I'll be back then. I have to go see Ino-chan." She said brightly. "Hai. Be careful ne?" Shikamaru replied. "Hai!" Sakura cheered. She left the house since it was four and it took forever to get ready with Ino.

-Ino's House-

"Ino!!!!" Sakura shouted banging on her apartment door. "Hai hai I'm coming." Ino grumbled. She opened the door to Sakura and beamed. "Hey Saku!" Ino said. "Hey. I need to get ready for a date. Shika's taking me out on a date!" She cheered. "LET'S GET STARTED SAKU!!!" Ino screamed yanking the pink haired woman inside.


This is all for chapter seven. The date will be in chapter eight!
