Swimming Cherry Blossoms
DISCLAIMER: No, I do NOT own Naruto or any other anime, book, TV show, movie, manga, K-drama, song, artist or company that may be mentioned within the content of this fanfiction. If I did, why on earth would I be wasting my time and money trying to go to college?
A/N: Hello there lovelies 3! Is life going swell? This is the second part of the Beach Bash (WOOHOO!) I had intended to have this up on last Tuesday or Wednesday but my wifi decided to give me a lot of problems and then I had to work pretty much every other day since then. So it looks like today is the day (Sunday Feb 21)! We'll actually get to "see" Saku-chan in her sexy bikini! Like I stated in last chapter, I am thinking about making this like a 25 chapter story and then maybe doing a sequel where the characters have moved onto to university life (oddly enough they all choose the same one). It's up to you though, please tell me your thoughts in a review. Speaking of reviews, I want to thank all of you who have written some, as well as all of you who have favorited and followed my story. I love getting the notification that someone has been enjoying my story enough to want to keep reading. Your encouragement gives me strength to keep going and I am eternally grateful. Anyways, you don't want to waste your time listening to little ole' me, so let's get on with chapter eight! :D
WARNING: Characters might be a little OOC. If they all stayed true to their character, this story would drag on for like ever with absolutely nothing interesting going on and I simply don't have the time for that. We all want the romance!
Suigetsu, upon noticing the hoard of men all flocking toward beauty that his hand was linked too, began walking at a brisker pace. His stride was a borderline jog, he was practically dragging Sakura to the ocean. Sprinting after the pair was Uzumaki Naruto and he was quickly catching up. Not too far behind him was pretty much all of beach visitor's intent of getting a peak at Sakura's bikini clad body.
"C'mon Princess, I bet I can beat you in a race to the water." The boy challenged he sharp teeth forming into an attractive smirk. He really hoped she'd take the bait so he could be the first to see her.
"Oh really? You're on!" Sakura agreed starting to bolt in the direction of the lapping waves. No one has ever beaten her in a race!
'He better be ready to kiss our feet and we solidify our title as the "Queen of Running"' Inner gloated before adding, 'ohh, but I cannot wait to see all those boys!'
'The only thing in that entire sentence that you were correct on was the fact we were totally going to cream Suigestu. The boy's you were way off with,' Sakura retorted with a roll of her viridian orbs. Even though it had been established a long time ago, her inner self's perversion was always astonishing!
'I don't get why you continue to fight me. Just accept it, not one of the boys who are attracted to you are ugly. You have feelings for all of them.' Inner pointed out and then she vanished again. Waiting for the perfect time to resurface into Sakura's mind.
'You are so…. Wrong!' the coral haired fairy shouted in her head. Her resolve had faltered and she ended up not believing it either. Was she attracted to all those boys? What drew her to them? If she had to would be able to choose just one of them?
The feeling of cool water on her feet brought Sakura out of her internal conflict. Smirking in confidence the goddess turned around to face Suigetsu with the intention of bragging about her win. She immediately slammed her mouth shut when her emerald eyes landed the boy who had apparently stripped down to his trucks.
Blushing a dark red, Sakura squeaked out, "W-when did you take off your shirt and shoes?"
The white haired male smirked, "oh you know. When you were lost in thought. I beat you here by like a whole minute."
Hearing those words Sakura's mouth flew open once more. She had lost a race? She has always won since she was old enough to walk! How could she have lost? Then it hit her, of course, all the other times she wasn't distracted by her thoughts on boys! This was all that inner demon of hers fault! The woman had her all confused on her feelings and she spent the whole time thinking about it.
Frowning at her misfortune, Sakura made a point to let her inner have it when they returned home! It's not like she is a sore loser or anything. It's just that she would have won easily if it wasn't the fact that she wasn't focused on the task at hand. Resigning to her defeat, Sakura met the violet eyes of Suigestsu who was looking back at her expectantly.
"Well, are we going swimming, darlin'?" he asked winking suggestively.
Shaking her head at the perverse boy, the pinkette sighed before moving her hands to grasp the end of her top. The other boys had arrived just in time to see her move to take off her clothes. They all anxiously awaited to see them cherry blossom's bathing suit.
Pulling the grey tee over her head, Sakura quickly exposed her flat stomach and curves. Her green eyes landed upon what looked like every boy on the in the school. Each one of them had their eyes set on her figure. Sakura narrowly resisted the urge to shield herself from them.
'Shannaroo! They already look like they are drooling! Quickly, give them the rest of what they want! Show them the bottoms!' the split personality of Sakura cheered in lust. She will forever be thankful to Kami-sama for giving her such a beautiful outer self.
'NO! I think I'd rather swim with my clothes on!' the roseate declared preparing to put her shirt back on. But then she realized that each one of those boys may be attracted to her, but they have never made her feel uncomfortable. Regaining her confidence, Sakura began to take off her shorts and shoes as well.
A moment later she was only covered by her satiny inky bikini with the crimson polka dots. She also took her petal colored locks out of the bun that she had placed them in to avoid them getting in the way as she helped everyone set up. The salmon tresses bounced a few times before settling right at her shoulders in waves of pink.
The boys couldn't believe their eyes. They already knew that Sakura was a gorgeous but actually seeing all, well almost all, of her was a miracle. Those of who were not good at keeping their composure had their jaws on the floor from the sight. The ice blocks didn't show much reaction that a small tint to their cheeks. And the fact that they never looked away from the stunning creature.
"Wow! Sakura-chan you are hot!" Naruto complimented with a dark hue on his face. The other guys bobbed their heads in agreement.
"Thank you Naruto and everyone else," Sakura replied her face heating up as well.
A second later Deidara was in front of her grabbing her small hand. "Let's go Sakura-chan, yeah!" He then began dragging her toward the water.
"Hey! Keep your dirty mitts off Sakura!" Kiba yelled as he ran after them. There was NO way he was going to let that Akatsuki member swim with her before him. Everyone else joined in the chase after the blossom haired object of their affections.
The second that the blonde man's feet touched the chilly saltwater he whipped around to face Sakura. The girl's face had still not recovered from the blatant staring that all the boy's had done to her. Smirking, Deidara pulled her into the sea with such force Sakura face-planted into the sand at the bottom.
She came up spluttering and sent a heated look to the Ino lookalike. To get back at him for pulling her in, Sakura splashed a massive amount of water on him. Not letting up for air until he started begging. She finally relented but not before sending Deidara another fierce glare.
"Next time, don't almost drown me." Sakura warned before she dunked herself under the water for a second.
Coming back up, she met the semi-hurt eyes of the canine-lover. He looked like she had cheated on or broke up with him.
'Well, he does like you. Maybe you did break his heart by going for a dip with the sexy Deidara first?' the shadowy woman added. She left before Sakura could reply.
"Come on in Kiba. I would love to swim with you too." Sakura told the brunette with a small wink.
The disappointed look on the boy's face was instantly replaced with a wicked grin. Hell yeah! Sakura wanted to be with him and not that girly-man! Jumping into the water to join the rose haired angel. Right as the Inuzuka male reached Sakura who was just floating around, every other guy also got in.
"KIBA, YOU BETTER STAY AWAY FROM SAKURA! YOU TOO BLONDE!" Kankuro howled marching as fast as he could up to the duo.
The dog-lover had just reached the Haruno when the Kankuro decided to ruin his chance. Kiba was not happy at the Sabuku for interrupting him so he sent him a dirty glower. This only fueled Kankuro and caused an argument over the pinkette.
Just as she was about to try and break up the fight, Sakura felt large firm hands on her waist. She was then hoisted up in the air and onto the blue senior's shoulders. The pixie shrieked in surprise before she began struggling to get down.
"Sushi! You better put me down pronto if you ever want to procreate!" Sakura professed before erupting into a fit of giggles. Maybe it would it be a bad idea to keep him from creating spawn.
"Nu-uh Pinky, you're actually having a good time." The shark-man chuckled as he began to walk a little farther toward to the ocean. "I would run away with you." He expressed looking up at the girl on his shoulders.
Sakura shook her head at the crazy man a peach dusting the apples of her cheeks. Although, she would admit that it was pretty exhilarating up so high and he made her feel safe. She stopped fighting Kisame and let him take her away.
A few moments later, the blue man set her down in water that was waist deep on Sakura. The strength of the waves almost knocked her down but Kisame placed a steadying hand on her back to keep her from falling. Her jade orbs met his beady black ones in a silent thank you. The muscular Hoshigaki grinned down to her.
The couple calmly awaited for the time when everyone else would notice the angelic salmon haired girl's absence. Not a second later, the color of red came into their field of vision. A foot away was Sabuku no Gaara whose sea foam eyes were ablaze. He had seen the gigantic Akasuki member capture Sakura and immediately went after him.
However, the shark-man's legs were larger and he was able to move a lot quicker than Gaara. But, the tattooed boy was able to catch up. He was glaring a Kisame who still had a hand on Sakura.
"Oh hey Gaara," the roseate greeted with a brilliant smile. The quiet red-head's heart skipped a beat at the beaming grin that had been directed to him.
"Is he bothering you, Sakura?" Gaara inquired glancing over the girl. But, making sure not to spend too much time on certain areas in fear that he'd be labeled a pervert like everyone else.
Sakura shook her head in response. "Nope, Kisame's actually been pretty cool."
The senior smirked at her loose compliment and sent a 'ha! She like me better' look to the crimson haired boy. That only served to make Gaara a little angrier. He made a move to grab for the girl's hand but was stopped by Kisame.
"I think Pinky can choose who she wants to be with." He stated gesturing to the girl who still stood beside him.
'Oh no! Don't put this decision on me!' Sakura internally screamed. She didn't want to be the one who hurt someone else.
'Oooh! HELL YEAH! I think you should choose Gaara, he's hotter! But Kisame is cool too!' Inner clamored excitedly. She really loved all the attention.
Sakura shook off her inner's remark before she made a choice. "I actually really like the both of you. And I would really enjoy being with both of you, at the same time."
The boys glanced at each other and then back to the beautiful new girl. They silently agreed to put away their differences to make Sakura happy. The look did not go unnoticed by the girl but she decided against commenting. Grinning, Sakura turning to face the beach. Out in the water the lanterns that lit up the beach looked like a blur of white.
The music, which her girlfriends were right about, could be heard from way out in the water. Sakura started dancing as best she could, what with half her body hidden in ocean. The boys gazed at the pinkette with amused looks plastered on their faces. She just looked so funny slightly swaying to the song. Although, neither one of the boys quite knew what song it was.
"Hey, shorty. What song is this?" Kisame asked. Sakura stopped her swaying and looked the shark-man a bewildered look on her pretty face.
"Uhh, it's "Va Va Voom" by Nicki Minaj. This is my favorite song of hers" the roseate clarified before she grabbed Gaara's hands.
'Seriously? Does anyone know ANYTHING?'
The quiet boy was slightly taken aback by her touch at first before relaxing. His seafoam colored eyes stared back into Sakura's emerald ones. The cotton candy haired girl sent him a dazzling smile and a cute wink. She then began to dance again this time trying to get the red-head to join her. However, Gaara just looked at her confused.
"C'mon Gaara. I wanted you to dance with me." Sakura mumbled her lips turning down in a small frown.
The tattooed boy's apprehension was still present in his handsome features, but he wanted to make Sakura happy. Plus he technically would have bragging rights as first dance. Although, he'd never say anything. Nodding his head, Gaara began to move along with the gorgeous angel. He was a little off the beat, but Sakura didn't care. She was beyond excited he actually agreed!
Kisame, who was still there, scowled at the pair. If it was legal, he might have casually drowned the silent junior. Not only did the vermillion haired boy interrupt his and Pinky's alone time. He also is the one she happens to be focused on. However, he didn't quite feel like going to jail and he also did not want Sakura to hate him. So he decided to walk away, until he felt a hand on his back.
'Looks like Sharky is jealous.' Inner pointed out. Causing Sakura to pull away from the seafoam eyed boy who took his leave.
Turning around, Kisame looked down at the small salmon haired girl who had a small flush on her cheeks. Raising a black eyebrow, the large man peered down Sakura with a questioning look on his face.
"I like this song too. It's "Victims of Love" by Good Charlotte. I would like to dance to it with you. Well, the best I can in water." Sakura explained looking into his eyes.
Kisame glanced toward the area where Gaara was only to see that the junior was swimming back up to the beach. Smirking the man with the shark looks grabbed ahold of Sakura bridal-style and walked a little closer to the beach. This allowed the rose haired girl to have more mobility before setting her back down.
"Alright Pinky, lead the way." Kisame said holding onto Sakura's small hands. Sakura smiled and moved her hands as high as they would go on the tall man's arms. This so happened to be right at his biceps, which Kisame took as the right time to flex. This earned the blue man a glorious eye-roll from the new girl.
"Seriously Fish-Sticks? Are you really flexing?!" Sakura asked a fairly unimpressed look glued on her face. Her only response was a cocky head nod. The fairy shook her shoulder-length coral locks and proceeded bop to the music. The senior joined placing his humungous hands on her hips.
When the song ended, Sakura untangled herself from Kisame. "Well, that was fun, but I think I've spent a little too much time with you for the other boy's liking. Not to mention, no one other than Gaara saw you kidnap me. They're probably thinking that weird guy Ryou has me."
Kisame's eyes were practically on fire at the mention of that rapist's name. "What was that about Ryou?" he growled enraged.
"Oh, he wouldn't leave me alone earlier. But, it's okay. Zetsu and Pein were there to stop him." Sakura stated shrugging. She then started swimming back to the other boys leaving a glowering shark-man behind.
Once Sakura got close enough to see the face of Kimimaro, she dipped under the water with the intention of startling him. Careful not to make any noise the pinkette sneaked up to the handsome white haired boy. Confident that he was unaware of her presence, Sakura jumped up out of the water and almost tackled the unsuspecting boy.
"Hey Kimimaro! Having fun?" Sakura queried when the boy was facing her. His forest green eyes wide from her surprise 'attack'.
"Blossom? What were you doing so far out in the water?" Kimimaro asked looking to the ocean. Sakura giggled in response, "oh Kisame just stole me away. But, I have returned."
The mention of the senior Akatsuki made the white haired boy's brows knit in displeasure. He didn't like that the gang members had all taken a liking to her as well. Come to think of it, everyone liked her. Meaning there was going to be a lot of steep competition for himself.
"Say, Sakura-hime. Would you like to dance with me, later?" the ivory haired male questioned boldly as he grasped her hands. Sakura smiled brightly and furiously nodded her head, "I would absolutely love to!"
A small smile graced Kimimaro's lips and he leaned down to Sakura's level. He pressed his lips onto her forehead before swimming away. Sakura's face burned as she stood there dumfounded.
'SHANAROO! He kissed us! Even if it was only on the forehead. It still counts!' Inner Sakura cheered in excitement. 'Today might just be the best day of my life!'
'Please stop shouting! You're giving me a headache!' Sakura retorted in annoyance. This only got her a glare and then the woman disappeared once again.
As she was fighting with her inner self, a body came up to Sakura. Still shaken up with the whole Ryou thing the roseate whipped around her fist raised. She came face-to-face with none other than the number one knuckle-head student, Uzumaki Naruto. The blonde boy shrank back in fear.
"Geez, Sakura-chan! I don't know what I did to make you mad, but I am sorry." He apologized holding his hands up in a defensive position. "Please don't hit me."
"Naruto! You almost gave me a heart attack! Earlier some pervert kept touching me!" Sakura explained gazing into the cerulean orbs of the loud boy.
The other boys around her heard and started glaring at the thought that the rose haired angel could have been hurt. Naruto looked like he was about to tear something to shreds. The other's had similar looks on their faces.
"I will not ever let anything happen to you Sakura-chan." Naruto stated his blue eyes still ablaze. "That is a promise of a lifetime."
Sakura stared at the boy who is usually always so goofy. The determined look that was painted onto his sun-kissed face told her that he was not joking. It sent shivers through her body. This boy that she barely knew would go through such great lengths for her. It was truly shocking, if not a little thrilling.
"I am with numbskull. No one will ever get away with touching you." Kiba added possessively. He'll make sure to always keep the pixie safe.
"T-thank you guys." She stammered out. Sakura turned to climb out of the sea. Her skin was beginning to resemble a prune. And the protective faces of the men were making her feel hot. She needed to get away. "I'm getting out now. But, I want to dance with you tonight."
The boys were left behind watching the petal haired girl exit the sea. She looked like a model as water dripped off of her. Naruto's and Kiba's angry looks were replaced by open mouths and dark blushes. Sakura was just too perfect: inside and outside.
Strolling up the beach to the tables, Sakura was kicking up the sand under her feet. She was humming the song that was currently playing. It was "This is How We Roll" by Florida Georgia Line featuring Luke Bryan. She loved country music and Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, and Josh Turner are her crushes. They were all so cute and had great music.
Sakura stepped up to the nearest table and plopped down. She didn't even bother to see if there was anyone sitting next to her. She was consumed by the song and too distracted to care. Now, in about two minutes, she might actually start to care a little.
When the song hit her man's part, Sakura's humming turned into a full on belt, well a quiet belt. She sang it loud enough for her neighbors to hear her. But, not at a ridiculous octave like some other people. Her voice was a great delight to the person who was positioned beside her.
The song ended and Sakura finally took notice of the body next to her. Turning her head to the side to glimpse at the being her face erupted into a color matching the polka-dots on her bathing suit. She had been singing next to lazy boy, Nara Shikamaru.
The lethargic genius had his head laid down on the wooden table. He looked asleep, except he had one brown eye pried open and his mouth was curved into a small smile. Sakura hung her head in mock shame. She had once again done something stupid in front of one of the cute guys in school. She was going to be known as that "weird, pink-haired girl".
"Please tell me that you had not been listening to my little concert." Sakura pleaded meeting the sharp eyes of the sleepy and intelligent Nara.
"Oh please, you'd have to be at least a mile away to be fortunate enough to not here that racket." Shikamaru teased with a little smirk.
"HEY! I don't sound that bad!" Sakura huffed crossing her arms and turning away from the lazy boy. Shikamaru just chuckled in response to her adamant defense of her singing ability.
'Shannaro! These sexy motherfuckers need to stop picking on us! I might die from all the teasing!' Inner shrieked in frustration. As much as she loved a good joke, not when it was someone so attractive.
'Yeah, I don't really like it either. But, you need to stop screaming!' Sakura shouted back at her inner self.
'Get them to stop!' the shadowy upset woman shot back. Sakura rolled her eyes and decided to make an effort to ignore her the rest of the evening.
"How long have you been resting here?" the pinkette asked looking back at the boy whose head was still on the wooden table. It hadn't moved an inch, Sakura briefly wondered if it was glued there.
Shikamaru's brown eyes bore back into Sakura's green one's as he lifted his head. Leaning in a little closer to the gorgeous creature he mumbled, "Since the troublesome party started."
The coral haired goddess nodded her head in understanding before looking around the area for something good to eat. Spotting something her tummy deemed "yummy", Sakura arose and grabbed for the Nara's hand.
The genius was slightly taken aback from her touch, he almost tore his hand away. But, he kept it still and rose with her. Sakura lead him to the candy and chocolate stand that was being operated by another male classmate.
Shikamaru for the life on him could not remember the boy's name. Nonetheless, he was positive that he did not like the way the guy was so blatantly staring at Sakura. The beautiful roseate didn't even seem to notice the boy's leering. She was too preoccupied with the selection of treats.
Deciding that Sakura was probably too concerned with the different sweets to protect herself if this creep tried, Shikamaru placed a hand on her shoulder. Not stopping when the bubblegum haired fairy squeaked in shock, he shifted her closer to his body. The two were now pressed against each other with the Nara's arm around Sakura protectively.
The kiosk male was confused before that look was replaced with fear. Shikamaru had a possessive look that just screamed, "Touch her, I dare you." Sakura choose her desired candy and the boy rung her up quickly and the pair took their leave.
The lethargic boy was satisfied that the male knew to leave Sakura alone. He was also happy that the pixie with the petal colored locks did not pull away from him. In fact, they were still touching like a couple that was on a date.
"Umm, Shika? I don't mean to sound rude, but, is there a reason that you are touching me?" Sakura question shrugging off the boy's arm.
The Nara immediately regretted ever mentioning that they were still touching in his head. She can clearly read his mind! Shaking his head and removing his he followed the girl to, what he presumed was 'their table'.
Once again sitting next to the jade-eyed girl, Shikamaru took the time to stare at her soft features. The gorgeous woman was completely oblivious to his gaze. The genius's eyes moved over her face as if to commit her image to memory.
He started with her forehead, which was a little larger than most peoples', but it wasn't obnoxiously ginormous. He then moved down to her eyes, which were as green as the leaves in the spring, they complimented her luscious tresses, making her the living incarnate of their great sakura tree. Her nose was small and wrinkled in a cute way when she was disappointed. Her lips were a natural pinkish-red that made it looked like she was wearing lipstick. Over all, Haruno Sakura was the prettiest girl he'd ever seen in his seventeen years.
Sakura had finished her chocolate fudge a few moments ago but when she looked up she saw that the Nara was staring at her intently. She almost angrily asked if there was something on her face, but his eyes told her not to. He was looking at her like she was an angel who had been sent from heaven to save him.
Her breath hitched when the boy grew bolder and brought his index finger to her full pink lips. His calloused fingertip lightly brushing over her mouth.
'Oh god! Is he going to kiss me?' She inquired in her head. Before realizing that she was more okay with it if he was than she should have been. 'What are these boy's doing to me?!'
The loud throat clearing sound brought both Shikamaru and Sakura out of their inner turmoil. Turning her head, the Haruno's emerald orbs landed on the smirking face Temari. The four-ponied woman was wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
"Sorry if I was interrupting something Nara, but Sakura's coming with me." The dirty blonde stated matter-o-factly before gripping Sakura's hand and dragging her away cackling all the way.
'Damn it! That boy was about to kiss us!' Inner screeched in outrage.
"So, Saks? What was that all about? How many boys have tried to kiss you?" the cheeky woman queried with a wink.
The rose haired girl felt her neck heat up from the question. But, internally she was also asking the same thing. How many of those boys tried to plant one on her? How many have actually kissed her hand or cheek? The night was not even over!
Her face caused the senior woman to burst out in a fit of chuckles. The new girl was just so much fun to mess with!
"I am just kidding girl. C'mon let's get you changed so you can start dancing with those guys." Temari said taking her over to Ino who had a semi-devious look plastered on her pretty face.
"W-what do you mean?" Sakura asked slightly concerned. Her only answer was another sly grin from the two girls.
"Oh, you'll see. Come with me Sakura-chan." The platinum haired young woman responded pulling the cotton candy haired girl into the woman's restroom.
Once they got inside, Ino pushed Sakura (none to gently) into the nearest open stall. She handed her a small bag and then shut the door effectively blocking it. There was no way, Sakura was going to escape!
"Ino! Let me out of here! What is this anyway?" The salmon haired woman demanded examining the black bag.
"No way girl! That is your outfit for the rest of the night. I sure hope you had no intention of getting back in the water, because I have squashed that idea."
"WHAT?! NO! I can't wear this! Those men don't need more of a reason to follow me around!" Sakura exclaimed once she had pulled the tiny garment out of the bag.
"Oh yes you are! I brought that dress specifically for you! I also stuffed your under garments in there. I had stolen them from your house." Ino shot back still standing in front of the door. "Now tell me when you're dressed so we can put some make up on you."
Sakura groaned and resigned to her fate. Peeling off her soaking bikini, the roseate got dressed in the short crimson dress that her lovely friend had so graciously brought along. Seeing it on herself, Sakura reasoned that it wasn't as short as she thought. The ruby colored dress hugged her curves tightly and hit a little below her mid-thigh. It was a strapless sweetheart neckline and just looked beautiful on Sakura. Sifting through the bag again, Sakura found a pair of wedges that she assumed she was to wear with it. Placing them on her feet, she knocked on the door to alert to Ino that she was done.
"Damn forehead! And I thought this the baby looked great on me!" the platinum haired girl gushed circling her red-faced friend. "Those guys won't know what hit them!"
"Oh god! That sounds like an absolute nightmare." Sakura moaned upset.
'What on earth are you talking about?! This is a dream come true!'
"Sit over here so I can do your hair and makeup. You are going to look fabulous!" Ino commanded pulling the bubblegum haired girl over to a conveniently placed chair right in front of a mirror.
Sakura sat in the blue chair and frowned. "Please don't make me look like Karin," she pleaded eyeing the large amount of makeup that the Yamanaka girl had placed out.
Ino choked out a laugh that she had been trying to silence. "You got a deal Billboard Brow. You will not look like that clown-faced whore."
Confident that her friend would not let her leave looking ridiculous, Sakura relaxed and closed her viridian eyes. She sort of wanted to be surprised over the outcome. A few seconds later, Sakura felt soft brushes against her creamy skin and felt heat around her neck. She assumed the Ino was curling the ends of her pink tresses.
After about twenty minutes, the pretty blonde girl addressed Sakura. "Hey, you can open those green eyes of yours. You look like a million dollars, thanks to me, of course."
Sakura pried one eye open at first to get a little sneak peak of herself then followed suit with the other a second later. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she gazed at herself. Ino was right, she looked amazing. Her emerald eyes were lined with black eyeliner, with winged tips and her eyelashes were curled and darker due to the black mascara. Her lips had a dark pink lip-gloss on them that made them sparkle when the right light hit. Her shoulder-length petal locks were curled slightly and fell in soft waves. She was an all-around diamond.
'Oh no! This is even worse than the bathing suit. Those things will never leave me alone!'
'Oh hush up! This is perfect! Thank the woman and go out there and get a kiss!' Inner hollered.
"Thank you Ino! I don't know what else to say, but thank you so much!" Sakura said meeting the crystal blue eyes of her friend.
Ino smiled in response before pointing to the door, indicating it was time for Sakura to reappear. Nodding her head, the pink-headed girl rose from the chair and crossed the bathroom. Taking a deep breath, Sakura threw open the door and stepped outside. She glanced around the area making sure no one was around only for her to bump into someone, again.
This time, the person wasn't nearly large so the force didn't knock her backward. Looking up, Sakura's eyes clashed with the black ones of Rock Lee. He was grinning brightly and had his right hand extended toward her. Sakura smiled in return but was going to wait until the eccentric boy properly asked.
"Sakura-san? Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?" The green beast asked. He had decided to forego his spandex suit, but he was just wearing a green button up shirt and black pants. He took this as the time to also give her the "nice-guy pose".
"Ok Lee. BUT, no more nice guy poses until after our dance." She answered giggling. The boy's face lit up like Christmas as he practically dragged her to the "dance floor". It was really just a section of the beach where someone had built a sort of wooden deck. The song that played next was "Right Here" by Ashes Remain. Lee spun Sakura almost every thirty seconds. The rest of the time the pair just danced around the deck. Not very many people had joined them so it wasn't very difficult to get around. The song ended and Sakura placed a chaste kiss on the boy's cheek before turning to find another partner. I mean she had like 20 of them!
Lee nodded his head in a frenzy and placed one hand behind her back and the other still holding onto her hand. The song ended and Sakura walked away from Lee to find someone else to dance with.
Well, the pinkette did not have to search for long. Her next partner stepped right up to her with a jealous look on his handsome face. The Ino-lookalike narrowed his sea-blue eyes at the "green beast" before looking down at her with the same look. Sakura was taken aback by his upset look and the boy clarified his disappointment.
"I wanted to be the first to dance with Sakura-chan, un! But it was that thing over there, yeah." Deidara grumbled sending another angry look in Lee's direction.
Sakura sweatdropped at the thought of how he'd react if he is going to be the fourth person she danced with. Gaara and Kisame taken the first and second spots respectively. She didn't dare say it aloud, that would crush the she-man's heart.
"It's okay Deidara. We can dance now." Sakura stated trying to get the angry boy to calm down.
Looking the blossom haired goddess up and down, the blonde man smirked and pulled her close to him. Sakura narrowly resisted the urge to drop kick him and allowed him to be semi-forceful. Deidara placed both of his hands on her hips and Sakura was given no other option than to put hers on his shoulders. Deidara then pressed himself against her and leaned down so their heads were next to each other. The Haruno sighed and laid her head in the crook of his neck her face burning from the contact.
The song that the pair danced to was by Megan and Liz. It was "Bad For Me" and seemed to fit the two of them. The blonde pulled away to look into Sakura's eyes an undertone of lust in them. This caused the roseate's blush to darken.
"You know, you look really good Sakura-chan, yeah." Deidara whispered seductively winking at the girl he was now dancing with.
Sakura rolled her jade eyes and shook her pink curls. "Oh please. Just because you're hot doesn't mean that that look will work on me. I have no interest in choosing any one right now."
Apparently the beautiful girl had not noticed that she had just complimented the girly-man. Well, that was until said man sported a grin akin to The Joker's and wiggled his eyebrows. Sakura's unimpressed face was quickly replaced to one of mortification as she began spluttering out a bullshit reason as to why she said such a thing.
"I-I was j-joking Deidara!" She stammered out in a very Hinata-like fashion.
The blonde man did not believe her statement either. He leaned his forehead to hers to where they were touching. "Don't worry Sakura-chan. I won't make you admit your obvious attraction me yet, un. It'll come out eventually and you'll be begging me to be your man, yeah."
Sakura pulled back in horror. She will never live this stupid slip of the tongue down. Damn that inner of hers. Where was she when Sakura had a bone to pick with her?! Deidara smirked once more at the coral haired fairy before taking his leave. As much as he would love to stay, he knew it was better to leave them wanting more.
Sakura's green eyes watched the back of the she-man as she almost screamed in frustration. God, she was beginning to hate all of those stupid seniors-scratch that, all these stupid BOYS again! They intentionally got on her nerves and flirted with her incessantly! And she's only known them for like three days!
'HA HA! You have always thought those guys were hot! You just didn't want to admit it.' Inner cackled inside Sakura's mind. This earned her an internal growl from her outside being.
'NO! YOU'RE WRONG!' Sakura shouted back at the annoyance. 'This is all your fault anyway.'
Sakura was pulled out of her argument, it was actually just her yelling and Inner ignoring her, by the song that came up next. She wasn't sure how many passed before that, however, they must have not been any good since they didn't catch her attention. Sakura immediately started swaying her hips to the beat and raised her arms in air.
A moment later she was joined Tenten and Temari who were repeating her moves. Then three of them were then joined by Hinata, who looked slightly awkward, but Konan was able to coach her through the shyness. Finally, the group was complete with Ino who had apparently changed herself. All the girls were wearing some sort of "dress-attire". Looking around, Sakura noticed that everyone was wearing dress clothes. Perhaps it was tradition?
The girls moved around and snapped their fingers to the empowering song, "Do it Like a Dude" by Jessie J. Several boys had gathered 'round to watch the gang, although they all had their eyes glued to the cherry blossom in the center. Toward the end of the song, Sakura looked up and instantly knew she made a mistake. Her jade orbs had met the amethyst ones of Hidan and he took that as a sign to go over to her.
The other young women took notice that the foul-mouthed Jashinist and shuffled away from the blush headed girl who sent them small glares. They aren't supposed to leave her when assholes are coming for her! What kind of friends were they? The white haired male planted himself in front of her smirking.
"Hey pink bitch! Ready to fucking dance with me?! I'll be the best fucking partner you'll even get!" Hidan howled bending down so they were close to eye level.
Sakura groaned rolling her eyes for the umpteenth time at this man. Shaking her head, the salmon haired looked into the purple eyes of the crass Akatsuki member. Deciding that it was more work to make him leave her alone, Sakura agreed to dance with him.
Facing the senior, Sakura placed her hands on his biceps and he positioned his on her hips. Like Deidara, Hidan did not know the concept of "personal space". The ashen haired boy pulled her close enough that their bodies were touching and began to grind to the beat of "Touching On My" by 3OH!3.
'Wow, perfect song for him.' Sakura mused with an eye-roll.
About half-way through the song, Hidan flipped her to where her back was touching his chest. His hands were still on her hips, although, this time they were a little lower. Sakura's face must have rivaled the youngest Sabuku siblings' vermillion hair. Awkwardly, the pinkette moved her hips along with the senior man.
"See, bitch? Told you that I'd be the best." He breathed in her in a gloating tone. Sakura shivered in response.
Sakura practically shouted "halleluiah!" when the track was over. She quickly removed herself from the Jashinist, but she did not have good footing. She almost fell face-forward into the wooden ground. She was caught by the strong and calming hands of Hyuuga Neji.
The brunette genius steadied her and Sakura thanked him. But, when she looked at his face, she noticed that the junior's eyes were staring into Hidan's. The two boys were scowling at each other intensely. Both were making silent claims on the coral haired angel.
"I think it's time for Sakura to dance with someone else." The Hyuuga growled warningly. This did not scare the senior, but Hidan had no intention of fighting tonight so he left. But, not before sending Neji another quick glare.
Turning to face the pink haired girl, Neji proceeded to inquire, "Are you okay?"
Sakura nodded, "thanks, but I don't think he was going to go to do anything."
The chocolate haired male nodded in understanding. The two stood there for a few moments before, Neji realized he had subtly implied that he wanted to dance with her. He stuck out his hand and gazed into the eyes of the beautiful Sakura.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked as the beginning chords of Fireflight's "Forever" started to play.
Sakura smiled and took his outstretched hand. Neji led her over to the side of the dance floor and spun her around as her the chorus begun. Sakura sang along to the lyrics as her and the Hyuuga boy danced around the wooden deck.
"Wow, Neji. You have got to be the best dancer so far." Sakura complimented as he continued to spin around in a professional fashion.
"I had to take three years of ballroom dance when I was a child." He admitted a light pink dusting his cheeks. No one was to ever know that information, but with Sakura he just couldn't seem to care.
"Really? That is awesome, I'll definitely have to keep that in mind." She giggled with a wink.
When the beautiful song ended, the couple pried themselves away from one another and stood face-to-face. Sakura flushed under the handsome male's scrutinizing but didn't shy away. For some reason, all she felt was peace when around Neji. To thank him for the wonderful dance, the emerald-eyed pixie placed a small kiss on his cheek.
'How many times are you going to just kiss their cheek? I want some lip action!' The alter ego clamored in a disappointed tone.
'NO!' was the only thing that Sakura replied with, she was trying and failing to ignore her inner self. However, the woman wouldn't leave her alone!
The Hyuuga boy's eyes stared down at the petite girl who looked like she was having some sort of an internal conflict. He was about to question her about it, when someone else decided to so rudely interrupt his time with Sakura. Presumably to ask her to dance with them.
The forest green-eyed boy, Kimimaro stepped up to Sakura and took her hand leading her away. "I'll be cutting in now, Neji-san."
"I believe it's my turn for a dance, Saku-hime."
The next song was Sakura's favorite by Ariana Grande. It was "Love Me Harder", part of her believes she loves it so much because it had the Weeknd in it. Kimimaro just swayed back and forth looking into her viridian orbs. Sakura couldn't help but sing along, which the white haired boy loved the sound of.
"You sing angelic Hime-chan. I would love to hear it more often." The boy flattered as her twirled her around.
Sakura grinned brightly her cheeks tinting cherry colored. "Thank you so much Kimi-kun. I always thought I sounded like a dying cat or nails on a chalkboard."
The junior shook his head at her worries, "nonsense. You have one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard."
The pair continued to dance for the remainder of the melody. When it was finished Kimimaro, once again kissed the top of her hand and took his leave. He knew boundaries when it came to winning the heart of a woman, unlike most of the other boys. Sakura watched as the white haired male left. She whipped around to find someone her green eyes were met with the horrible face of Karin.
The ruby headed girl was wearing the tiniest "dress" that Sakura had ever had the misfortune of seeing. She was almost positive if the bi-spectacled woman bent down, even slightly, you would be blinded from seeing the nasty stuff underneath. It was navy in color and landed just under her butt cheeks. The front was low enough you could see almost half her stomach and it exposed pretty much her whole breast. The only thing it was covering was her nipple.
Sakura had to fight the urge to gag in disgust. She had never seen so much skin of another person's. Moving up to her face, the woman was clearly glowering at Sakura. Her red eyes ablaze as she hatefully stared at the cotton-candy haired goddess.
'This bitch better not say anything that'll get her into trouble with us again!' Inner warned inside Sakura's mind. The outer self silently agreed, because she wasn't going to stand by and be treated disrespectfully.
"Is there something you wanted?" Sakura questioned her sharp jade eyes narrowing.
The red headed girl's glower deepened in response. "I want to know what the hell you think you are doing?! Think you can just bat your eyes and all the boys will fall for you? Well, guess what. You can't!"
Sakura's scowled in another warning she hoped the crimson haired slut would get. She really didn't want to get Ino's dress and shoes all covered in blood. "I beg your pardon?"
"You must have screwed or blew them before your first day because there is no way they just randomly chose you. You have got to be the ugliest girl to come to Konoha. Second only to the loud blonde bimbo from Suna." Karin stated looking the petal haired girl up and down in disgust.
Sakura's face contorted in fury. It was one thing to insult her but, if you value your life, don't ever say something about her friends. She curled her small hand into a fist and threw it forward into Karin's huge nose. The banshee was still running her gob when the impact happened. The only that got her to shut up was the blood that poured from her nostrils. The force of the punch was enough for the fiery haired girl to fall back and off the deck.
"Don't ever insult Temari again or anyone of my friends! And, don't ever imply that I just sleep around. I am not like you." The girl snarled her blossom colored locks dancing around in the wind. She looked like a powerful warrior in her defensive stance.
Karin face was covered in blood as she stared at Sakura with the most hate-filled look that the other woman had ever been on the receiving end of. "You'll pay for this Pink!" she shrilled as she attempted to pick herself up.
Sakura just flipped off the woman on the ground and sauntered in the other direction. She really needed to get away from Karin or else she might strangle her. She also wanted to check on her knuckles, they were slightly bleeding.
'I must have broken the skin on that whore's face. But, damn it! She shouldn't have crossed that line!' Sakura thought as she examined her bleeding hand.
As she searched for a napkin to wipe off the red blood, Sakura passed by money-lover Kakazu. He noticed that she was somewhat cradling her right hand. Pulling her toward a stand that looked like it was specifically for first-aid, Sakura let the young girl take a look at her hand.
"Oh my gosh! How did this happen?" the green haired girl asked looking at Sakura.
The address girl stilled, she wasn't sure how great it would look to say that she just smashed another girl's face and it was only her third day of her. Kakazu picked up on Sakura's apprehension and decided to save the girl's skin.
"She accidentally hit it on the table." Was all that the stitched boy said.
The viridian haired nurse nodded her head slowly. Unsure whether to believe that story, but she didn't quite feel like prying. The girl began to bandage Sakura's hand after cleaning it with peroxide and rubbing some anti-bacterial Neosporin. A few minutes later, Sakura was practically good as new. The only difference being that she now had gauze around her knuckles.
Turning around, Sakura smiled at Kakazu. "Thank you for taking me here. I probably would have never found it if it wasn't for you!"
The Akatsuki nodded his head in a silent reply. The two stood next to each other awkwardly before Sakura noticed what song was playing now. It was her favorite by Panic at the Disco. The voice of Brendon Urie filled the area as he sang "Miss Jackson".
The rose haired girl danced around the large senior who just looked extremely confused. He made eye contact with the junior girl when she placed herself in front of him. Raising a brow, he allowed Sakura to grab ahold of his hands. She started to sway back and forth. However, Kakazu's feet stayed planted on the ground. After the song ended Sakura sent him a small smile and walked away.
The quiet money-grubber didn't necessarily dance with her but, he did let her dance around him. And let her hold his hands so that is making progress. Maybe Kakazu was beginning to open up to her? As she walked away, the senior boy couldn't help but think the same thing.
Sakura shuffled about the deck trying to spot another person to dance with, she wasn't even half-way through with her boy's. Seeing the fun and loyal Inuzuka boy, she strolled up to me. When he saw the beautiful pinkette, Kiba couldn't keep the smirk that graced his handsome features.
"Damn Sakura. You look so freaking good." He whistled out eyeing her figure.
She shook her head and shyly played with her coral tresses. "Thanks Kiba, would you like to dance with me?"
The smirk that Kiba had been sporting turned into a grin as he nodded and made a move to grab her hand. When their limbs touched, he pulled her into his chest close enough that their noses were touching. Looking into her emerald eyes, the canine-lover led her over to the dance floor.
The two danced to "Boy Like You" by Ke$ha. Sakura bopped to the music her arms over her head. Kiba followed her lead placing his hands on her swaying hips. The Haruno girl stared into Kiba's eyes the whole time and during the chorus she would lean in to where their lips were almost touching and sing.
It took the Inuzuka boy all of his willpower not to capture her ruby lips in a searing kiss. But, he knew that Sakura was testing her ability to tease, it was a move he himself was very fond of. Kiba decided he would let the roseate have her fun, for now. In about a week, he will so totally show her who always won in a game of hot teasing.
The song finished and Sakura pulled away with a wink. "That was fun Kiba. We should do it again sometime."
Sakura quickly left the boy her face burning. She couldn't believe that she was actually flirting with Kiba and in such a sensualized manner! It had to be the most daring move she had ever done!
'That was GREAT! He looked like he wanted to pin us down and tear off this dress! Good job outer me!' Inner cheered jumping up and down.
'I can't believe I did that! It's all your fault! He probably thinks that I want him or something.' Sakura growled out in response to her other half.
'Uhh, that is because you do want him. I didn't make you do that.' Inner retorted. She received a fierce glare from Sakura. 'Whatever, I'll be back.'
A hand on her shoulder brought Sakura out her squabble with her inner self. Whipping around, her viridian orbs bore into the black one's of the cheeky pervert, known as Kankuro. He winked at her and took her hand.
"I think it's time for a dance, Sakura." He said positioning his hands on her small waist.
Sakura smiled at the boy with the face-paint. "Alright then, let's see what you got."
The duo danced with each other to Sean Paul's "Temperature". It was an older song, but was still one of Sakura's favorites. And yes, you can have more than one favorite song. Kankuro began moved against the pink haired angel who decided against pulling away. Maybe Inner was right. Maybe she did like these boys.
Placing her hands on his broad shoulders, Sakura moved her hips in tune with the beat. Kankuro bobbed his head along with her. At the end of the song, Kankuro spun her around and she found herself in the arms of Sasori.
Sakura's face flushed a dark red as the memory of her kissing his cheek came flooding back. The caramel eyes of the lax red-head gazed into her own. He release her and stuck out his hand.
"Would you like to dance?" Sasori queried with a raise of his eyebrow.
'He wants to dance with me?' Sakura questioned internally. She was sure he would think of her as like a fangirl or something. Since they hadn't talked much and the first real time she plants kiss on his cheek.
Realizing that Sasori was beginning to feel uncomfortable standing there being left hanging, Sakura nodded her head. "Oh yes, I would love to." She answered taking his hand.
The song that played next was perfect for every one of the boys that liked her. It was "Jealous" by Nick Jonas. Sakura almost laughed at the irony. Sasori also seemed to notice which track it was because he shook his head, but nonetheless twirled her into the middle of the dance floor.
"You look very nice." The boy complimented quietly. Sakura beamed up at him, this was the first time he had ever said anything about her looks!
"Thank you, Sasori. You look good as well." She replied looking him. He had on black dress pants and a red shirt. In fact the shirt was the same color as her dress.
The couple swayed around holding onto each other. Toward the end of "Jealous", Sakura laid her head onto Sasori's shoulder. The lazy senior stiffened slightly at the contact, before relaxing. He was a little taken aback at how comfortable she was with him. But, did not mention it in fear that she would pull away.
When the song was finished, Sakura removed her bubblegum curls from his shoulder, which Sasori immediately missed the scent of-they smelled like strawberries. However, he let her pull away to keep her from feeling awkward around him.
"You're a great dancer Sasori. Can't wait for next time." Sakura acclaimed as she took her leave. The red-headed Akatsuki mumbled and 'thank you' as he watched the coral haired beauty walk in the other direction.
The next song that started, made Sakura stop in her tracks. She began moving the music and was quickly joined by mask-wearer.
"Tobi will dance with Blossom-chan! Tobi is a good boy!" the boy chirped as he bounced around the salmon haired pixie.
Sakura giggled at the crazy boy whose face she will probably never see. "Yes, Tobi, you are a good boy. C'mon let's dance."
The angel raised her arms and gyrated to Avril Lavinge's "What the Hell". When the chorus came around Sakura would throw her head back and belt out the words. The other boys watched as she and the eccentric orange blur swiveled to the music all with various angry faces.
At the end, Sakura grabbed hold of Tobi's hands. "That was the best Tobi!" she shouted over the bumping tunes. She pressed her lips to his mask and left.
The mask-wearer was then approached by several other boys who looked ready to pummel the poor boy. "Tobi is a good boy!" he professed and then ran away.
Jade eyes searching, Sakura found her girlfriends who were dancing around with some other boy's in their class. The only two Sakura knew were Chouji and Shino. She made her way over to them and grabbed Hinata's hand to lead her on the song that was playing now.
It was another "girl power" song. This one was "Love Myself" by Hailee Steinfeld. The blushing Hyuuga girl looked mortified as Sakura instructed her on how to move her body to the music. The other girls joined them. Everyone was bopping and spinning until Ino had to ask that question.
"So, is this song about masturbation or not?"
That sentence almost caused Hinata to faint. The cotton-candy haired girl sent the platinum blonde a loose glare. She was trying to get Hina-chan to relax when it came to stuff like that.
"Who cares? This song is freaking awesome!" Tenten replied starting to dance again.
After some convincing encouragement from Sakura, the shy Hyuuga began bopping to the song again. Satisfied with her work, Sakura also danced for the rest of the song. She was about to find another dance partner when the music finished, only to remember that she hadn't yet danced with Chouji or Shino.
Stepping up to the two of them she stuck of each of her hands. "Would you grant me the honor of dancing to the great band that is Fall Out Boy. The boy's looked at each other and then back at Sakura. Shrugging, they each took her outstretched hand.
Sakura smiled and led them to where they would have enough room to do a three-person dance. "Uma Thurman" played over the system fueling Sakura's feet. Every few moments they would trade off the new girl each getting about the same amount of time with her.
Although, neither Shino nor Chouji were physically attracted to the pinkette, she did have an energy that just pulled you in. Always in a good mood, Sakura was a light all herself. Both boy's twirled her around a couple of times. Each time earned them a grin, she loved to spin.
About three-fourths of the way through the song, Shino decided to question Sakura on her bandaged hand. "What happened to your hand?"
Sakura looked down confused, she had actually forgotten about the incident. Her green eyes landed on it and she remembered the slut that she had to punch.
'That red-headed bitch is the reason our poor hand is all bandaged up. I really hoped we fucking knocked out some teeth!' Inner screeched.
"Oh, earlier tonight Karin came up to me claiming I was sleeping with everyone and then called Temari a bimbo. So in retaliation I smashed my fist into her nasty face. The only problem is that I ended up catching my knuckles on her teeth. The banshee wouldn't shut her pie-hole." Sakura stated furious.
The boy's nodded in understanding before the song ended. Sakura thanked the two before she went off in search once again. She was almost done!
Spotting her dual-toned savior, she strolled right up to him a smile on her face. Zetsu was no longer enraged like he was when he attacked Ryou, he only raised a brow in question at her.
"Is there something you needed Sakura?" he asked not taking his eyes off of her.
The roseate shook her head but walked closer to him. "I just wanted to thank you properly for earlier. Care to dance, Zetsu?" she inquired gazing into his eyes.
Zetsu didn't move for a few minutes. Not until, he grabbed her arm and pulled her into his chest as a way of saying yes. Sakura's cheeks grew hot as she could clearly hear the steady heartbeat of the boy with two skin tones. He started to sway back in forth with the angelic blush haired girl's head still laying on his toned chest.
Sakura chuckled and removed her head to look into his eyes. The danced slowly around to Charlie XCX's "Boom Clap". Which only made Sakura laugh more since it was technically a fast-paced song. Zetsu held onto the girl's injured hand gently playing with the cream colored gauze.
"I match you. I punched Karin's lights out breaking her tiny nose. Just like you did to Ryou." She answered his silent question.
Zetsu pulled away and let out a breathy chuckle. Maybe this girl could defend herself, but that didn't mean he wouldn't murder anyone who dare touch her again. Bringing the hand to his mouth, the Akatsuki member placed his lips onto her fingers. He moved them up to her knuckles all the while gazing into Sakura's eyes.
Her breath hitched and face burned from his sweet gesture. The second the song was finished Sakura stuttered out how she enjoyed herself and then briskly walked away from the dual-toned man who was left smirking after her.
As she was running away from Zetsu, Sakura practically ran into the open eyes of Suigetsu. The white-blue haired boy wiggled his eyebrows.
"That intent on dancing with me sugar?" he teased with a wink of one of his purple eyes.
In response, Sakura sent an unimpressed roll of her eyes. Shaking her head, the coral haired girl grasped his hand nonetheless as he led the way.
They danced to "Lucky Strike" by Maroon 5. Each time the song said "yes sir" or "that's her", Suigetsu would lean close enough to where Sakura could feel his breath on her lips. They were itching with the want to close the distance.
When the song got to the line, "Hey! You're taking all my pain away" the junior boy leaned his forehead onto her own and began to sing to her. Then when the chorus started up again, he quickly spun Sakura around and dipped her with her pink curls touching the ground.
Coming back up, Sakura was giggling uncontrollably. No one had dipped her yet, it was refreshing. Especially since she has danced with a total of sixteen boys so far! It was nice for someone to keep things interesting.
"That was awesome! Thank you so much for that!" Sakura exclaimed giving the boy a hug.
Suigetsu smirked, "you bet Princess. Can't let things get boring for you on your third day." The petal haired girl grinned again and went to look for someone else. She only had five more to go!
Meeting the sleepy brown eyes of Shikamaru, she went through a mental checklist. She concluded that, although, she has spent some time with the Nara boy she had yet to dance with him. She sauntered up to the genius who looked half-asleep.
Poking him until he officially lifted his head, Sakura proceeded to ask, "Would you like to dance, Shika? It is okay if you don't want to. I know you're tired and bored."
Brown eyes bore into emerald one's as the boy sighed in defeat. "As troublesome as that sounds, I know I would never forgive myself if I didn't dance with you once tonight." He answered standing up.
Sakura's face lit up in happiness and she jumped up as best as she could in the wedges Ino had given her. Grabbing the sleep pineapple-head's hand, she dragged him onto the dance floor. The song that they slow danced to was "Love Me like You Do" by Ellie Goulding.
Every once in a while, Shikamaru would spin Sakura around. However, the only thing going on in his head was the fact that the Yamanaka girl he was childhood friend's with interrupted him when he was putting the moves on Sakura.
The girl that plagued his thoughts hummed the sweet melody of the love song with her eyes closed. It was like she was letting the music consume her. Shikamaru briefly thought about resuming his place in kissing her, but ultimately decided against it. He didn't quite feel like dying tonight.
When the song finished Sakura sent him one last smile as she went on the hunt for her next victim. She was determined to dance with everyone at least once! The lazy genius stared at her back as she sashayed away.
'
Now, who have I forgotten about?' Sakura though scanning her memory for all the boys.
A loud voice brought her out of her minds and she smiled shaking her head. 'How could you forget him? You could hear him from miles away?'
Sakura made her way over to the obnoxious ball of sunshine. Naruto grinned at her before enveloping her in a bone-crushing hug.
"Oh Sakura-chan! Why haven't you danced with me?!" he fake cried looking like he was cheated out of something.
"That is exactly why I am here, Naruto-kun. Would you like to dance with me now?" Sakura said looking into the cerulean eyes of the Uzumaki boy.
Frantically nodding head, Naruto pulled Sakura onto the deck announcing, "HA! Told you she likes me better teme!"
The blossom haired girl rolled her eyes, "I'll be dancing with him next."
Naruto looked back at Sakura finally taking notice of her outfit. He instantly blushed a dark red and awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck.
"Wow, Sakura-chan. You're beautiful. I mean, you're always beautiful but…wow.." he trailed off his blush deepening considerably.
Sakura herself flushed in response and shuffled her feet. A bubblegum strand of her mane had fallen in front of her face and before she could push it out of the way, Naruto gently placed it behind her ear. Both people blushed even more if that was possible.
"W-we should start dancing. The beach bash is going to be ending soon." The blonde boy stated grabbing ahold of Sakura's hand.
The coral haired beauty let him lead her in a romantic dance to "Shiver" by Shaun Desman. It was a song that Sakura was surprised they would play since it wasn't very popular. But it was one of her favorites and she couldn't help but sing along to it.
Naruto leaned his face forward and pressed his check onto Sakura's the corners of their lips touching. "You know, I've never found someone I like as much as you, Sakura-chan."
The girl stood there shocked, that was the first time one of them had officially professed having feelings for her. They all teased or complimented her or acted jealous, but no one had directly said they liked her. She couldn't believe it, now her feelings were going to be even more confused.
Looking into Naruto's eyes, Sakura could tell that he was clearly being honest. Her heart skipped a beat at the sincerity and she quickly made a beeline to Sasuke for his dance when the song ended. She wanted to get this over with so she could sort out her head.
Strolling up to the attractive ebony haired boy, Sakura extended her hand. "You're the third to last person, Sasuke-kun. Want to dance?"
The duck-tailed young man stared at the roseate for almost an entire minute before grasping her hand and letting her lead him to the dance floor. The pair stood looking at each other for a few minutes unsure how to go about dancing. Sasuke isn't the fondest of touching people and Sakura wasn't positive he'd reciprocate her touches.
Finally, the Uchiha placed a hand on her lower back and the other held onto her left hand. Sakura lips curled into a small smile. He was the first to go with a traditional dance stance. Sakura put her right hand on his shoulder and the two spun around the deck.
The couple danced to Falling in Reverse's "Just Like You." Sakura couldn't help but giggle at the fit for Sasuke. He really was an asshole sometimes, or at least he seemed to be that way.
"Why are you laughing?" the raven haired male asked his eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"Oh you know this song was meant for you." Sakura replied grinning cheekily. This earned her a sneer from the younger Uchiha male.
Sakura laughed again as her and a frowning Sasuke moved about the floor. The two were interrupted by none other than the older Uchiha, Itachi.
"May I cut in Sasuke?" the male with the pony-tail queried stepping in front of the junior.
Sasuke glared at his brother but since his song had finished he avoided fighting him. Sakura watched as the boy stalked away before meeting the coal eyes of Uchiha Itachi.
The black haired boy had his hand outstretched for the pinkette to hold. Sakura placed her hand on top of his and was immediately pulled into Itachi's chest bumping into his chin. The boy hissed in pain and Sakura stuck her tongue out in response. He shouldn't have jerked her towards him!
Ignoring the pain, the gang member whispered in the salmon haired girl's ear. "I personally chose the next song."
Sakura's jade orbs bore into his black ones as she patiently waited for the song to start. When it did, it took all of Sakura's willpower not to burst into a fit of giggles. It was "Classic Man" by Jidenna. She loved that song and it fit for Itachi.
Raising a coral eyebrow, Sakura smirked, "Is this your way of telling me how awesome you are."
The obsidian haired senior didn't answer he just twirled around quickly and dipped her. He brought her back up and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Sakura's face heated up from the feelings of the handsome man's lips on her skin. Pulling away she stared into his eyes and swayed with him for the remainder of the song. When it ended, Sakura bid Itachi goodbye and went in search of her final dance partner.
Her viridian eyes landed on the orange haired boy. Strolling up to him, Pein had also noticed her and was on his way over to her. They met in the middle in a fashion that was very reminiscent of Hollywood. Pein placed his hand on Sakura's face. His thumb going over her lips as his ringed eyes gazed into her own.
"Shall we dance, Sakura?" the attractive man with the piercings asked.
Nodding her head, Sakura felt the boy's hand move from her face down to her back and then to her lower hips. The other one was placed on her upper back right in between her shoulder blades. Sakura put her left hand behind Pein's neck and he other on his muscular shoulder. The side of her head was brushing against his.
The started stepping forward and backward and then danced more fluidly. The beautiful song, "Earned It" by the Weeknd flowed around the deck. Sakura hummed along and Pein watched her, studying her gorgeous face.
"You're the most beautiful girl." He complimented laying his head into her neck and inhaling her scent.
Sakura's cheeks dusted a faint pink and it was deepened to cherry when Pein actually began to place kisses on her bare neck. Inhaling sharply, Sakura removed herself from the Akatsuki leader before something bad happened.
She almost lost her footing as she tried to get away. Pein steadied her and she squeaked out a quick thank you and scurried to her girlfriends. She knew that the Beach Bash was drawing to a close and all good parties end in a fireworks display.
Sakura stood next to the azure haired beauty, Konan and the pretty weapons enthusiast, Tenten. She was sure she had a prime spot to see all of the beautiful fireworks. The first one was that lit up the sky was a bright blue, followed by others that were different colors and some were even shapes.
As Sakura stared at the dazzling night sky, her boys-who had gathered around at some point- were staring at her. They were each reliving the moments that they had shared with the goddess. Each one was thinking, "This girl is amazing. One day I'll make her mine."
When the fireworks had finished, Sakura spotted the guys that she wasn't positive how she felt about. She walked over to them and told them 'good night' and that she would see them again on Monday. She smiled at all of them and then followed the girls to Konan's car.
Sakura, opened up the trunk and piled in all of her stuff, but kept the penguin that Sasori had won her. She sat in the back seat, holding onto the stuffed animal as the origami-lover drove the way home. Sakura was lulled by the smooth ride into a sleep.
She was awoken to the stopping of the car and a shake of her shoulder. Opening her green eyes she saw that she was now home. Sakura shuffled out of the car and grabbed her things. She thanked the girls and said her goodbyes.
Sakura threw open her front door, after she had unlocked it, and then shut it behind her. She crawled up the stairs and got undressed, making sure to be extra careful with the dress. Yanking her pajamas on, she crossed her bedroom into the bathroom.
Sakura quickly scrubbed off the makeup that was caked onto her face, thanks to Ino and then brushed her teeth. Once she was finished, she practically fell into her comfy bed and snuggled in. She would forego reading tonight, she wasn't going to be able to keep her eyes open for one more minute.
The beauty was in a deep slumber less than 2 minutes after getting into bed. She dreamt about the evening with the boys. She also dreamed about the possible future, now that she has had physical contact with all of them.
HARUNO SAKURA THANKS FOR ATTENDING THE HELL THAT IS THE BEACH BASH.
