"Oi! Anshi! Stay close to the group you show-off!" Kenji roared as he flailed after Anshi who was ahead, staying alert for enemies. That left only the three girls in the back. Chikako sighed.
"It's always a competition for them." She muttered. Sakura didn't pay attention as she stared at the back of the two men. How similar they were to Naruto and Sasuke…yet they were so different at the same time. Sakura eyes hazed over.
"Who cares as long as we don't hear it." Hikari grumbled. Chikako gave her a quizzical glance.
"Like you don't argue and compete." She mumbled. Hikari shot her a glare.
"Hey you redheaded bi—"Satouko covered her mouth and kissed her temple.
"Now, now let's stop this useless fighting. Chikako play fair, and Hikari you should be in a good mood since last night. You got your quota of cuddling." Satouko winked. Sakura and Chikako blushed as they looked away. Sakura felt uncomfortable with the straightforward affection and openness of their relationship. Apparently Chikako wasn't quite used of it either.
"Either way, shouldn't we be near the mission point by now?" Chikako asked. Satouko was quickly sucked back into the mission and ignored Hikari and her complaints.
"Yeah, the little village should be over that hill over there, near that big rock." Satouko pointed. Chikako tilted her head. There were a lot of hills by big rocks.
"That one?" She pointed out. Satouko shook her head.
"No! That one!"
"This one?"
"NO! THAT ONE!" She flailed her finger.
"OH! That one?"
"NO! NO! NO! THAT ONE!"
"OH! I got you! That one!"
"No, bullshit! That one! The one near the rock shaped like a dick!" Now that caught all of the girl's attention as they digested what Satouko said. All of them tilted their heads to see the rock formation better. Sakura's eyes widened. It was indeed a male's genital.
"I name that cock rock." Satouko smugly smirked. Chikako shook her head.
"I can't believe such a rock formation would exist." She commented. Hikari laughed.
"Only Satouko would notice that. I wish I brought my camera." Hikari huffed as she crossed her arms. Sakura looked down at the ground.
"I brought my camera." She replied. Hikari and Satouko's eyes widened in glee.
"SCORE!" Satouko yelled, surprising Anshi and Kenji.
"Hell to the fuck to the yeah!" Hikari cried out in victory. Sakura flinched at their melodramatic responses as Chikako smacked her face.
"Why did you have to say that?"
…
"So I press this button?" Anshi asked while examining the camera. He received a hard smack in the head from Hikari as she stomped back to the group that now stood before cock rock.
"Yes dumbass." She growled and stood by Satouko. Kenji whined he didn't have enough elbow space. Chikako scooted away from the couple. Sakura was at the other end near Kenji.
"Ok…taking picture in three seconds."Anshi announced. Satouko shook her head.
"My dear beautiful, pathetic cousin, that's not how you do it! You have to yell CHEESE before you press the button." Satouko informed. Anshi raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously. That's weird." Anshi shook his head before raising the camera up and steadying it on the group before the rocky penis.
"CHEESE!" He screamed, startling everyone as he took the picture.
"There. You have your picture. Now let's move on!" He ordered. Everyone happily obliged except Sakura. She wasn't even sure how she got dragged into the picture.
"I wish he said cheese properly so I could smile. I probably look stupid in the picture." Chikako stressed as she put her hands to her cheeks. Satouko waved off.
"I wasn't scared! I smiled all the way!" She boasted. Hikari elbowed her.
"You choked me from the surprise and made me gag when the flash went off." Hikari glared at her. Satouko sheepishly smiled and scratched the back of her head.
"Oh but you still love me, yeah?" She asked as she grabbed the smaller girl's hand. Hikari huffed and squeezed her hand.
"Whatever."
Chikako and Sakura lightly blushed looked away.
"They do this all the time. Fire and ice." Chikako muttered. Sakura only nodded to show she was listening.
"No matter what, no matter what type of fight they end up back to each other." Chikako said with some envy. Sakura was about to look at the redhead until Satouko piped up.
"You and Anshi are the same!" This time Chikako's face went completely red.
"No! They're nothing like you two!" Kenji butted in. "They have the decency to go to a room when they want some quality time! Unlike the time I walked in on you two in the Haruku Clan Garden or in the kitchen or that time at the movie theatre or in the bushes or—"
"Just shut up Kenji, you idiot." Hikari seethed. Kenji did what he was told.
Sakura gazed off into the distance as she listened to the constant bickering. She thought she would be terribly annoyed with it…but it reminded her of old times when it was common to hear arguing between a knuckleheaded blond and an infamous heartthrob. Sakura closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It was almost music to her ears.
"Oi! We need to stop fighting! I think Sakura-Chan is getting annoyed!" Kenji warned. With that, everyone was quiet for Sakura's sake as the feeling of reminiscence vanished, leaving Sakura cold once again. So cold and alone as Hikari whispered something to Satouko who laughed and Chikako running up to Anshi to give him a kind smile, Kenji glaring at Anshi, and Anshi giving a loving smile back at his wife.
So alone and cold.
Sakura sat outside, checking the children of the village with simple exams. Kenji was bragging to the kids as they waited for their turn. Chikako helped with distributing the gummy vitamins and helping distract the kids as they got their shots. Anshi and Satouko stood nearby as Hikari got first claims on her room.
Anshi sighed as he watched Chikako smile at a kid. Satouko caught the act and elbowed him in the ribs.
"Already thinking about kids, Anshi?" She asked with a smirk. Anshi blushed before looking away.
"No. I'm just bored. There is no action. Where are the enemy shinobi?" He grumbled. Satouko scoffed and hit him across the head.
"You're still too young to fool me." Satouko said and returned to watch the kids. "You're lucky though. You can actually have kids."
Surprised, Anshi turned his head to examine his cousin's longing expression as she watched the kids laugh and smile. Despite her rude and inappropriate personality she was a natural-mother.
"FOUND MY ROOM!" Hikari yelled from the second-floor of the cabin that was rented to them. Satouko's expression quickly changed as she smiled and grabbed her bag near her.
"You mean our room?" Satouko hollered before running into the place. Anshi watched with a warm smile and shook his head. The line of kids quickly grew small as they ran away to play and tell their parents of the shinobi that came to protect them. Chikako excused herself from helping and walked near Anshi, purposely brushing against his arm and leaning over near his ear.
"We better choose our room, Anshi." She suggested. Anshi froze up at the display of affection and nodded. The two disappeared in the house as Sakura shook her head. She was afraid to think what Hikari and Satouko were doing and what Chikako and Anshi were planning.
"I'm glad you came along, Sakura-Chan." Kenji said, surprising Sakura as the last kid left with a smiley band-aid.
"It was my duty." Sakura said as she stood up and stretched her arms, brushing off the surprise. Kenji smiled.
"I know but it is better that you came regardless." He said as he walked to the cabin's door. Sakura began to pack her leftover medical supplies.
"Why's that?" She asked while putting away her items. Extra bandages, band-aids, ointments, alcohol, disinfectant, syringes, medicine, vitamins…
"Because I'm always alone." Kenji muttered, almost too quiet for Sakura to hear. She raised an eyebrow and looked at him. He had his cousin and sister…well fake-sister.
"Satouko and Hikari are together like Anshi and Chikako. When they're near each other they're in their own worlds and I'm stuck in this one. Kind of lonely and depressing!" He heartily laughed but Sakura could sense the loneliness in his voice. She glanced away and began towards the cabin.
"There's one room left!" Chikako announced. "Down the hall near the bathroom!"
Kenji blushed.
"Guess we have to share a room, Sakura-Chan!" He gave a shameless smile. "It probably has only one bed like most but don't worry! I don't hog the blan—"
"I would rather sleep on the couch than share a room." Sakura stated. Kenji flinched and looked down at the ground. He frowned and kicked at the dirt.
"Well…I can sleep on the floor." He suggested. Sakura shook her head.
"I don't like sharing rooms with others." She never shared a room since Naruto was alive. She felt guilty if she shared a room with someone else, especially another man. She didn't need to have a person in a room with her like Kenji who reminded her of Naruto. She didn't want nobody to witness her state of weakness that occurred in the middle of the night, alone.
"Oh…well…I'm sorry…I shouldn't had put it that way…I know I'm sometimes straightforward but I really li—"
"It's ok, Kenji." Sakura softened a little. "It's not you. It's just me. I just don't like sharing rooms."
Kenji hopefully looked up, regaining some of his confidence. "Well I can sleep on the couch! You can have the bedroom!" His smile was wide and toothy. Sakura looked behind her and nodded.
"Thank you, Kenji." She said with appreciation and bowed lightly. Kenji blushed and looked down again, kicking a loose rock.
"So," he quietly began in a shy voice, "does that mean you like me somewhat?"
Sakura walked closer to the cabin door and stopped. No, I don't like you. I don't even think I could ever like you like that. I'm not made for any relationship. Sakura exhaled.
"Let's go inside, Kenji."
Sakura intently stared at the cabin's ceiling. The fan above her was frozen in time as the cold autumn air seeped under the window. She shifted further in the blankets as her brows furrowed.
How long has it been…?
She couldn't remember. She bit her lip to hold back her scream.
Why couldn't they just stop…?
Her eyes squeezed tightly as the yell manifested in her throat, tempting her to open her mouth.
I can't deal with this anymore.
"Ah, Satouko!" Hikari's hushed voice flooded into Sakura's room. The medic shinobi jumped out of the covers with a roar. She stood on the bed, glaring at the ceiling, and began to punch the ceiling with little strength. If she didn't the second floor would collapse from her brute strength.
"It's getting late! Go to bed! We have a mission! This isn't a honeymoon!" Sakura loudly growled. She relentlessly hammered the ceiling until she heard nothing and she felt somewhat better. The cabin was completely quiet until Sakura heard a giggle.
"Told you, Hikari, that you were being too loud." She heard Satouko say above. Hikari groaned.
"Just keep going. I'm almost there, please." She begged. Sakura's eyebrow twitched.
"No, no! That's enough!" Sakura scolded. Hikari loudly whined.
"Aw come on, Sakura-Chan." Satouko persuaded. "Just let me finish my job like a good person I am and we will stop. Though…just for your information, I can go all night long."
Sakura blushed and shut her eyes at the mental images. "Just…QUIETLY!" She ordered. She heard Satouko giggle again and Hikari lightly gasp. Sakura stood there, listening until she caught herself doing so. Her eyes widened as she blushed. She was a pervert for listening. She quickly sat on her bed and covered her ears, humming a song. Why was she eavesdropping on their…their…their stuff?
I'm just waiting and making sure they won't start again. Once…Hikari is satisfied then they will stop. I have to make sure. I have to listen otherwise Satouko would sneak another round in.
Sakura unplugged her ears and heard a loud, long moan.
"Good god!" Kenji hollered from the living room. "That's enough!"
Sakura heard something above her. "Your sister wants more of me, Kenji."
"ENOUGH! ENOUGH!" Kenji screamed and began yelling "La-la-la I CAN'T HEAR YOU!'
Satouko laughed from above as Sakura could faintly hear Hikari's heavy breathing. These walls were way too thin.
"Time to go to bed!" Sakura ordered with her cheeks burning hotly, hitting the ceiling with her hand.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Done, we're done!" Satouko sighed in disappointment.
"Thank you, Sakura-san. They would've never stopped if you didn't make them." Chikako called from the other room down the hall.
"Yeah, thanks. A lot." Anshi replied. Sakura listened intently again.
"Thank you, Sato." Hikari's voice was only a very faint murmur that Sakura's trained ears could only catch. She heard Satouko happily make a sound in recognition. With her face burning hot as an intense sunburn, Sakura laid back down and got under the covers.
"Yeah! Thanks, Sakura-Chan!" Kenji called out. "You saved us all from a night of no sleeping!"
Sakura shook her head. The cabin was silent as she stared at the ceiling. Her eyes became heavy. Her breathing was becoming even.
For once, Sakura was too tired to think of the past and Naruto and Sasuke as she drifted off to sleep.
Mental images of Hikari being pleasured by Satouko filled Sakura's mind as she tossed and turned in bed as the bad dream continued.
