College Years
Chapter Eight:
Sakura finished cleaning the dishes and put on her shoes. "Where are you going?" Sasuke asked, his eyes still fixed on the TV.
"Hinata wants to go shopping again, you know I just can't say no." Sakura replied standing up. Sasuke smirked, knowing Hinata's obsession with spending money on whatever she could.
"Fine, but remember, today Naruto wants another rematch of strip poker." Sasuke reminded her, looking back toward the TV screen.
"You know, you should come with us. It'll be fun." Sakura suggested, earning a 'no-way-in-hell' look from Sasuke. "Besides, what could be more fun than shopping and trying to catch up to Hinata? It's great exercise you know."
"No way, Sakura." Sasuke announced laying down on the couch. Sakura took off her shoes and walked toward the couch. She stood over Sasuke, trying her best to give him am evil glare, but it didn't phase him one bit.
"Nice try, but your eyes are too kind, making your glare meaningless." Sasuke replied, flickering the channels with his remote. Sakura was determined to get him to come. She wasn't gonna give up that easily.
"Fine." Sakura simply replied as she sat down on his chest. "I'll move when you agree to come." Luckliy, for Sasuke, she was light, so he dismissed it. She sat there waiting for him to give up when her cell beeped. Hinata sent her a message. "Come on Sakura. You should be here by now. Anyway, Naruto is coming with us since he has nothing to do. Text me back."
"Sasuke, even Naruto is going. Come on, you can chat with him while we shop. Alright?" Sakura asked, pouting. Sasuke didn't want her to start crying so he reluctantly agreed. He shifted on his side, making Sakura fall on top of him, her lips on his.
"I am so sorry." Sakura apologized getting up from him. Sasuke just replied that it wasn't her fault. He liked the feel of her lips on his. Wait, did he just think that?! There is no way he could be falling for this girl, or could he?
They both walked to the car in silence and already passed two lights when Sasuke realized that he didn't know where the mall was. A little embarassed, he asked Sakura which way to go. She chuckled at this and told him the directions. When they arrived, Hinata and Naruto were sitting on a bench.
"Sakura, what took you so long?" Naruto asked, his stomach grumbling. "Hinata wouldn't let me go to get something to eat unless you got here." Sakura just laughed at this. Poor Naruto, can't he ever think of anything besides food? Scratch that, Ramen?
The entire time, the girls were running around the mall, well, mostly Hinata, looking for clothes to buy. Hinata had already five bags full of clothes, while Sakura only had about two. The boys were out of breath, trying to keep up to them.
"Crap, don't they ever take a break?" Naruto asked, looking for a nearby bench that wasn't occupied. He fell face down on the floor, twitching in pain. Sasuke smirked at this, panting a bit. He was lucky that he trained in Martial Arts, so he still had some stamina left to probably last another hour of this torture.
"Get up Naruto, I don't want to drag you across the floor, making you the laughing stock of the mall." Sasuke stated, hoping Naruto would budge. He didn't. Sasuke sighed, dragging Naruto by one leg, hoping to find the girls and go home.
He saw Sakura and Hinata talking in one of the stores on the left. Sasuke was so tired, along with Naruto, who managed to walk on his own again, that the store thay were walking into was a lingerie store.
"Hinata let's go home, you have enough clothes to last you-" Naruto stopped, realizing where he and Sasuke walked into. He paled as Hinata turned around with a thong and a bra in her hands.
"What do you think Naruto? They are nice, huh?" Hinata asked as Naruto's nose started to bleed. He grabbed the quickest thing to a hankerchief, a bra, to cover his nose. Sasuke, as well realized where they entered, was trying to find Sakura, so they could go home, he then heard a voice.
"Hinata, why do you want me to buy this thing?" Sakura asked on the other side of the changing door, thinking that she was talking to Hinata. 'Great, now I can go home.' Sasuke thought as opened the door where Sakura was.
"Sakura, let's go, we already spent two hours and I wanna go-" Sasuke stopped, seeing that Sakura was wearing a black see-through teddy bear. His nose started to bleed and he ran out of the store. Sakura saw that he was looking at her, but was too shocked to even scream.
The girls saw the boys sitting on a bench with napkins to their noses, with a tint of blush on their cheeks. They said their goodbyes and got into their own cars. Sakura offered to drive since Sasuke was still bleeding from his nose.
They arrived in silence back to the apartment, where Sasuke sat down on the couch, watching Sakura pull out her clothes from the bags and fold them. It was mostly t-shirts, a pair of shorts, bras and panties. Sasuke focused his attention on the TV.
"Sakura, I'm sorry that I opened the door and-" She cut him off. "It's okay, it wasn't your fault." Sakura replied, walking to her bedroom. She came back and pulled out more clothes.
"By the way, did you buy that thing?" Sasuke asked, his nose had stopped bleeding. "Oh, this thing?" Sakura asked pulling out the teddy bear. He got his answer.
"Why did you buy that thing?" Sasuke asked, not looking at it, hoping to substain another nosebleed. "It's called a teddy bear, and women usually sleep in it or put it under a dress." Sakura explained. "I am gonna put it under a dress, for the New Year's Eve dance."
Oh yeah. The dance. Why did he always forget about these dances? Sasuke would have to go with Sakura again in case Itachi will try something again. Speak of the devil, where was he now?
Itachi paced back and forth across the floor, thinking of a plan to make Sakura his. He was losing ideas and he would think of something fast, but today, he was out of juice. Itachi sat down flipping through his calendar when he saw the perfect date, New Year's Eve.
The gang meanwhile were having another game of strip poker. Hinata had lost first, then Naruto. The game was still going until Sasuke raised it to $10, making Sakura fold. She had lost again, oh well, there was always next time. Yes, she will definitely beat him one day....
