RECAP:
From that moment the night got funnier, louder and a lot more like an 18th. Sakuras dare was for them all to mix up the alcohol and divide it out between them with a little bit more going to those who were more sober. "CHEERS!!" . . .
'Italics' Sakura thinking (or Inner Sakura if you like!)
Chapter 8:
The time rolled past 10 PM and each one of the group was drunk and showing it in their own individual way.
The dares were still going but getting stale, all the same ideas had been thrown round over and over, like kissing lightly and doing stupid stunts. Sakura thought that things needed to be heated up but was worried about saying a risky dare 'What would the others think if I make up some really dodgy, like getting Naruto to leg it round the block without his top off, or even just in his boxers! Oh that would be so funny!'
It was Sasukes turn to dare some one and by this time they were lounging lazily round the room not really paying much attention.
"Ok I am really fed up of these boring dares" He announced and they all murmured agreement "so I dare Ino to kiss Sakura, sorry but I am a guy and I know Naruto wants to see it and it's not really what u could call boring"
Stunned silence shocked all of them before Ino lunged towards Sakura before the pink haired girl could even think what her friend was doing. She had to be honest with herself it wasn't actually that bad!
After about 20 seconds of having her lips pressed against her friend, Ino pulled away grinning. "Enjoy the show?" she smiled at Sasuke leaning her head against his shoulder and gazing into his Ebony eyes.
"My turn to dare" she whispered smiling ". . . Damn, I'm all out! Ugh"
Sakura saw her chance to get some decent dares rolling she leant down to Ino and whispered her idea about Naruto 'My next dare will be better with out him anyway'
"O Wow! Ok ok! Naruto, I dare you to strip, totally! 'WHAT?! I didn't say totally' And run round the village!" Ino Grinned at Naruto with a mischief written all over her face. Naruto looked like he was going to try and argue against this dare until Ino said in a small mocking voice." Not turning me down are we? If you're too scared that's fine we'll give you some nice dares like . . . suck a dummy! Cause you're a b-a-b-y"
"Yeah like I would refuse! It's the best dare so far, I think it's great" Naruto lied, his voice was determined and loud, but shook ever so slightly. He walked to the hall and stripped at which everyone in the room was careful to look away as Naruto dumped his clothes by the door and ran out.
All four left burst into laughter, each had an image of Iruka-sensai or another authority figure looking out and seeing a naked fox boy running at full pelt round Konoha at half 10 at night!
Sakura, who had been facing Ino and Sasuke, lent backwards forgetting that in her current position there was no support behind her, no sofa, no table, nothing. Because of this, her reactions were too slow to stop her falling straight back into Kakashi. In fact it was into Kakashis lap. looking up into his face, which was still partly covered by the balaclava, she saw a look of shock but some where in the eyes she seamed to see warmth, a kind of caring she had never before seen.
Dismissing this thought and blaming it on the alcohol she relaxed and looked back at Ino who through out the night had been edging closer and closer to the near paralytic Uchiha and was now practically resting her head on his shoulder.
Time for the next dare I think "All right, My turn again" with this she let a little mischievous smile play across her face, Ino saw this and grinned back "Ino you have to imitate one of the Uchiha fan girls for 1 hour, you know the drill, It shouldn't be to hard. I'm sure you're used to the roll anyway!"
Inos face lit up, she finally had a proper reason to be so close to Sasuke. Within 10 seconds of the dare fully sinking in she had her head rested on his chest and arm draped across his Tummy (Writers note - sorry but Stomach seams to formal and belly sounds flabby and I doubt Sasuke was flabby!), For once Sasuke didn't actually seam to mind having one of the girls that chased him day and night so close to him, in fact it was only 20 seconds before his arm curved round her back and hand holding onto her waist.
After seeing that these two didn't want people watching them Sakura looked back up at her teacher who was still gazing down at her. She watched the mask twitch slightly and she could see the slight dents of a smile, she smiled back closing her eyes, this was a very bad idea. All went dark but the room span at full speed, Sakura had not been warned by anyone in her life that alcohol could have such effects. The fact that her stomach could churn and make her feel so close to being sick, that her head could suddenly feel like a full stage stamped had started and that she no longer cared she was comfortable lying here all she knew is that she needed fresh air and fast.
Snapping her eyes open she stood up, head whirling and half fell half ran to the front door. Ignoring the call from Kakashi and the others about her health, she wrenched open the door and threw herself outside, breathing in deep lungfuls of cool fresh air. She leant against the house resting her hands on her knees and taking deep breaths, the sound of a quiet village already asleep and resting. It was nice, after the hectic evening she needed the quite, the wind, and the time to herself to just think.
Sakura slumped to the floor and rested her arms on her knees, her hands clasped. 'Wow. What a night, it's been like a whirlwind, good though' She smiled "Yes Very good" Thoughts were flashing through her head quicker than she could control, all the laughing the drinking and most of all Kakashi, all the great times she'd spent with him over the last few years but mostly the last few days, it all felt so good and her unclouded mind delved through her feelings. With the sheer amount of alcohol running round her system she couldn't, or wouldn't, make excuses for her thoughts of him. Not brotherly, not brotherly at all.
Her head was slumped, so she couldn't see whose hand it was that had just rested lightly on her shoulder but she wanted to find out. Before she looked she just tried to calm down her heart rate and stop the furious blushing. The most bizarre thing was that she couldn't stop grinning at the thought of it being Him...
I am So Sorry for the delay on this one!!!! I've had a lot of work, hope you like it
