The Party……
They arrived at the party a bit late which got Sasuke scolded by his mother but when she noticed Sakura, she smiled very sweetly and assumed that she was his girlfriend since they were holding hands.
"But mom, she's not my girlfriend," Sasuke explained.
"But honey, if she's not your girlfriend, then why are you holding hands?" Mrs. Uchiha said calmly and smiling.
"Good point," Itachi said. He turned to Sasuke, "Little bro, if you're not in a relationship, why are you holding her hand as if there's no tomorrow?"
"Shut it, will ya." Sasuke said. "Bet."
"No worries, bro. I don't need your blackmail. I can live with that video of me." Itachi said smirked. "Anyway, there's a chance if you show it to people here it might be famous. I heard there's a producer here. This might be my big break."
Sasuke really does have a weird brother. Their conversation was quite loud so everybody can hear. "You know, I think I know where that video will be seen first as its break."
"Really? Where?"
"Let's see….. was it Oprah? No. ah, america's funniest videos." Sasuke smirked. The rest of the group laughed along with the rest of the people who heard it.
Itachi turned beet red. "At least it's gonna be famous,"
Sasuke didn't notice that he was letting go of Sakura's hand as he laughed.
"Aha! So when did the glue melt?" Itachi asked.
"Days ago." Sasuke said as they headed to a table.
"I thought you wanted to see your brother suffer?" Neji asked. "Why did you release her hand?"
"I have other plans,"
"Do you know that woman, Sakura?" Ino asked. Sakura looked at that direction where Ino was tilting her head.
This woman had same eyes as Sakura. She had brown hair but had a little bubble-gum pink.
"Ah, my aunt Lily. She's my mom's sister." Sakura explained.
"Isn't she the one who is a fashion designer and works for a company in Paris?" Ino asked. Sakura nodded.
"Excuse me, I'll just talk to her for a sec." Sakura said and she went to her aunt.
"Hi auntie!" Sakura said. Her aunt looked at her.
"Hi, Sakura."
"So, how are you?"
"Fine. I heard you have lots going on at your school. is that true?"
"Yes, have you had news from my parents?"
"Actually, they mentioned that they are going here and are on they way now." her aunt had this accent. But Sakura still understood her.
"That's great. How long are they staying?"
"I do not know. Why don't you just ask them when they get here."
"Okay," Sakura headed back to the table where her and her friends are sitting. Sasuke's mom was also with them.
"Ah, you're a Haruno, right?" Sasuke's mom said. Sakura nodded as she sat down.
"Yes, I am."
"Please call me Mikoto. I know your parents. I met them in a trip in USA." Mikoto said.
"Really?"
"They're going to be here,"
"Yes, I heard"
"I should've known you were related to Sayoko. With your pink hair,"
Sakura smiled.
"So, you got your pink hair from your mom's side?" Sasuke asked. Sakura nodded. "That's something I didn't know,"
"Oh,"
"Excuse me guys," as she headed towards two people who just made their way through the gate. One woman with a long black dress with a white lace in her waist and a man with a suit and a white tie.
"Hi dad, hi mom!" Sakura said hugging them. "I'm so glad you're back!"
"Sorry, honey. We'll only be here for the party then we'll leave for Russia afterwards." Sayoko said sadly. Sakura's dad looked at her sadly.
"Okay," Sakura said. Her face was sort of sad first but then it turned into a bright smile which caused the boys looking at Sakura to blush very clearly for Sasuke to notice and he just glared at them.
Sakura with her parents walked towards their table where Sasuke's mom were chatting with Sakura's friend.
"Hey there, Mikoto!" Sayoko said and the……uh…..women(?) did the cheek to cheek thing and the men shook their hands. And so, the adults went to another table ignoring the teens.

sigh
"Uh, Sakura?" Ino said. Sakura tuned to her.
"Hm?"
"Promise me something"
"Anything."
"Let's never do that when we turn their age"
"Sure."
"Hey, Sasuke-kun!" the demon said.
"What do you want Karin?"
"You, my precious Sasuke-kun." Karin said in that high pitched irritating voice of hers. "I don't see anything wrong with ditching that forehead-girl to come to me and have some fun," she said seductively.
"No." Sasuke said coldly.
"Come on Sasuke. You know you want it." Karin said in that very seductive tone again.
"No, because if I were to do have your ideal of fun, I would make sure it wouldn't be with you."
The moms noticed this and hurriedly went to the table of doom. It only became the table of doom because of Karin touching it and everybody knows she's a demon.
"Sakura, Sasuke, I'm very glad you chose to be engaged and get married by tomorrow." Sayoko said smiling innocently. Sasuke and Sakura had no idea what their moms were talking about but thought it to be nice so they played along and not give them questioning looks.
"What do you mean?! If there's anyone Sasuke-kun would like to marry it would be me!" Karin shouted frustratedly at Sayoko and Mikoto's face spitting some of her saliva while talking.
"Honey, if you'd like to share you opinion, say it, don't spray it." Mikoto said wiping the saliva off her face. Karin was so embarrassed right now. "Didn't you tell her?"
"Tell me what?" Karin asked.
"They're getting married because Sakura's pregnant. Marriage is the best way to support the baby." Sayoko said.
Karin looked at Sasuke very sadly making her face 50 uglier which she thought was cute. Sakura and Sasuke just nodded.
"Fine! I don't blame you for not seeing my beauty and running away with that ugly duckling! Mind you, you'll end up braking up with that piece of trash!" Karin bellowed not caring about the people whispering things like her being a bitch and what was the problem with her and stuff which were all negative.
"Oh, don't you know the story?" Sakura asked sounding innocent, kind and cute at the same time which earned her positive whispers. "The ugly duckling always turn out to be a beautiful swan."
Karin just looked at her purple in the face.
Sakura then turned to Sasuke. "Honey, can you get me strawberries and chocolate syrup?" Sakura asked.
"The waiter will get it sweetie,"
"I really hope you don't mind,"
"Anything for my beloved fiancé and our children."
Karin was still standing in front of Sasuke and Sakura whose faces were so close and obviously they were going to kiss. Karin couldn't stand the pain and rejection so she ran away from the scene but tripped through some wires which caused her to bump a waiter guy and spill juice on her horrible deformed face and clothes. Sakura and Sasuke who already pulled apart but didn't really kiss, laughed at her along with everybody.
"Thanks mom," Sakura and Sasuke said.
"That was great, did you plan this?" Tenten asked.
"Not really." The moms said. "We just saw you had trouble with that…….uh….." Mikoto couldn't say the word to describe Karin since she knew that if she said that word, her image might be destroyed.
"Bitch?" Sakura finished. The people didn't gasp or anything but smiled. Mikoto nodded.
"We saw you were in trouble so we decided to step in,"
"How can we ever repay you." Sakura said smiling.
"No need, dear, no need." Mikoto said. But then Sayoko whispered something to her and they began whispering while smiling evilly.
'this is not gonna be good' Sakura and Sasuke thought.
"Maybe there is something you can do for us." Sayoko said having that evil glint in her eyes.
"You can dance together to that very romantic music," Mikoto said dreamily.
"No way!" Sakura and Sasuke said together. Looked at each other after just saying that statement then glared at each other. Talk about mood swings. "I am not dancing with that guy/girl!"
"You have to." The moms said sternly.
"Or you're grounded young lady." Sayoko said.
"Same with you young man." Mikoto said.
Sakura and Sasuke sniggered.
"What are you laughing at?" Sayoko asked.
"You referred Sasuke as a man, you're not even close. And you can't ground me mom. You won't be home." Sakura said laughing.
"You referred Sakura a lady, you are no where near close." Sasuke said between laughs.
"Well, I can ground you all right. Or make you live with Sasuke for a month. Mikoto can do it for me." Sayoko said. Sakura and Sasuke gave her a what-is-up-with-you-insane-woman look. "Mikoto can help me with that."
"No way,"
"Fine, then if you don't we're going to make sure you two stay in the same bedroom and sleep in one bed with nothing but your underwear every night until Sakura gets pregnant."
Sakura and Sasuke gave her an are-you-insane look. but realized that they were serious and determined to do it. they finally gave up.
"Fine." Both Sakura and Sasuke said coldly. The moms smiled victoriously as if they had just one 10 billion dollars in the lottery.
Sasuke pulled out his hand from his pocket and asked "Would you like to dance?" he said very coldly.
"Make it coldly or I'll make you two share the same bed wearing nothing until Sakura gets pregnant!" Mikoto snapped.
"Fine." Sasuke turned to Sakura again "Would you like to dance," this time, his tone was something that would get any girl to hear this squeal and faint.
"Yes," Sakura smiled fakely.
And so, they went to the dance floor and danced. Later on, they were dancing for the grinning moms, proudly smiling dads, winking friends, teasing cousins and crying girls(which obviously were Sasuke's fan girls)
"You said there weren't be any fan girls here," Sakura said smiling.
"How would I know they found a way in."
"I am never saying 'yes' for your begging again,"
"Just hush up, don't worry the song's nearly ending then you can do whatever you want,"
Sasuke and Sakura were always forcing themselves to smile afraid of what their moms were capable of doing to them. They smiled sweetly to each other no matter how annoyed they are already.
"Except leave 'cause I don't want the thing our moms want to happen to happen" Sasuke said.
"Who does?"
"Yeah,"
And so, the song ended. Sasuke bowed to Sakura and kissed her hand blushing madly and scolding himself for doing so while Sakura blushed as well. And they headed to the table to find that their friends were dancing to the next song.
Sakura got out a pen and paper from her purse.
"How'd you manage to get that in your small purse?" Sasuke asked with a slight hint of being impressed.
Sakura smirked. "We girls always do things mysteriously smart." She said proudly.
"Whatever." Sasuke said coldly. "What are you working on,"
"I met a person who runs a website where they display write-ups like stories, essays, news, etc." sakura said not looking up.
After the song, Naruto, Neji, Shikamaru, Hinata, Tenten and Ino came to their table.
"I'm thirsty," Ino said and she called a waiter guy and asked for punch. So was the rest of them.
"Your parents sure can be scary when they want something done so badly." Tenten said.
"Yeah, but it was nice the way they blackmail you," Neji said. Tenten nodded.
"I agree." Everyone in the table said except Sakura who was too busy writing, Sasuke who was feeling being emo right now and Shikamaru who was sleeping which earned Neji's interest.
He whispered in Shikamaru's ear "Hey, I'm really sorry for you dud. I can't believe you broke Yamanaka's heart only because you're gay," he smirked as he did this.
Shikamaru looked uncomfortable and said, "Why would I brake her heart?"
The group was already emerging in silent fits of laughter. Ino was blushing madly but it was hidden since it was dark.
"I can't believe you ditched Yamanaka just to admit your true feelings for Uchiha," Neji continued.
"Where am I now?"
"In your room,"
"Why the hell are you here,"
"Just telling an old friend a mistake he'd done."
"I ditched Ino?"
"Yes,"
"What is she doing now?"
"She went in her room. Sai was with her."
"Why did I ditch Ino again," Shikamaru asked frowning. Remember, he's sleeping.
"Because, you're gay," Neji whispered.
Sakura, Sasuke, Tenten, Naruto, Hinata and Ino whispered repeatedly as if making crazy voices in his head, "You're gay, you're gay, you're gay, you're gay……" they whisper chanted for a long time to the Shikamaru who was really frowning much.
"You're gay, you're gay, you're gay, you're – "
"I'M NOT GAY! I SWEAR TO GOD THAT I WOULD NEVER DITCH INO FOR UCHIHA SASUKE AND NEVER WILL" yep, Shikamaru woke up from his 'nightmare' and was unready to face one again.
Everyone, and I mean everyone laughed. Even I'm laughing too. Shikamaru was standing up blushing 1000 shades of red.
"Good to know, Nara, good to know" Neji, who was already lying down on the ground laughing said.
Shikamaru remembered the voice in his dream. It belonged to Neji. "Ha, ha Hyuuga. Very funny." Shikamaru glared at him.
"Sorry, man. I was bored!" Neji said still rolling over the floor laughing his guts out. Shikamaru was so mad right now. he just remembered he had something in his pocket.
"You know, you're attracting too much attention. Why don't you sit down….." Shikamaru said casually.
"Fine. That means I'm forgiven," Neji said breathing heavily from the laughing he had done recently. He sat down then a very loud farting sound came out. Everyone looked at him blushing 10 shades of red.
"Funny, Nara." Neji said glaring at Shikamaru who was lying down on the ground stomping his fists. All of the people laughed as well.
"I know, it's a classic." Shikamaru said sitting down but not without checking his seat for counter pranks. After he knew that it was clear, he sat down breathing heavily.
Naruto, you know how he is, idiotic, found the idea of pranking quite amusing and he was ready to aim his mortal enemy in all fields and best friend, Sasuke. Clearly, Sasuke noticed this and thought of something.
"I'll be right back," he said pulling Sakura with him. "Come with me."
"Wait! What the hell?!"
Sasuke sat back down again. "You're mad at Naruto right?"
"For erasing my answers in that test, yes. Very."
"Then come with me."
"Okay,"
And so they headed to Sasuke's room. The parents noticed this especially the moms who are professional matchmakers, and smiled victoriously.
"I think they're getting along so good," Mikoto said.
"I know,"
Sasuke room was quite hidden. You have to pass a couple of turns to finally get to his room which was at the very edge of the house. When Sakura went in, she was startled. She expected his room to be nearly covered with things but it was spacious. The only thins there were his desk, his study desk, electric guitar, drums, key board and bed.
His study desk was facing the window which gave him a quite nice view of sun rise.
"So, you play guitar, huh?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah, do you play any instruments?"
"Yes,"
"What?"
"I see you have a couple of instruments here. do you play all?"
"Duh. Why would I have them here if I didn't?"
"Good point."
"Ah, nice view on sunrise. I can only see the nice view of sunset on our other house in San Fransisco."
"Help me."
"With what again?" Sakura had this rude tone.
"Pranking Uzamaki. I want do get back at him for inviting my fan girls in my house last time."
"Okay,"
"So, any suggestions?"
"How about slip this liquid in his drink. It'll make him drunk and go crazy." Sakura said handing Sasuke a bottle of liquid. "It works. I made it and I tried it on my cousin."
"Thanks." Sasuke said.
Sakura stood there dumbfounded. "You said thanks to me?"
"Duh. What was I supposed to say?"
"Ya got a point."
"Whatever."
And so, they got out of Sasuke's room and headed back to the party.
"Where were you two?" Ino asked.
"Doing some stuff," Sakura said and saw that Ino had that they-did-something-dirty smile on her face "No, No it's not like that. I was helping him out."
"Whatever you say,"
"Hey, Naruto. You want something to drink?" Sasuke asked casually.
"Yeah, Thanks teme!" Naruto said patting Sasuke's back.
As Sasuke stood up from the table, he heard laughter and turned to see his cousins laughing at him. He glared at them and they stood up and hugged him.
"Hey, what gives?" Sasuke asked annoyed.
"Sorry, cuz. You wanted it."
"What?"
His cousin picked up something from his back. It was a paper. No, a sign it said:
I want you to hug me when I glare at you
The handwriting was messy and there was only one person Sasuke knew to have that penmanship.
"Naruto." Sasuke whispered that only he can hear, "You ask for it,"
So Sasuke placed punch in the cup and placed a couple of drops of liquid and headed to where his friends were.
"Here you go Uzamaki. Nice prank." Sasuke said coldly.
"I'm glad you like it!"
"Whatever. Just drink it."
Naruto took sips from his punch and felt dizzy.
"Wow, teme. I feel dizzy."
"Whatever." Sasuke said smirking.
"I feel like I wanna dance."
"So do it,"
And without even thinking, Naruto stood in his chair and began dancing the Macarena.
"HEY! ALL OF YOU! LOOK AT ME! I'M DANCING!"
"N-Naruto, please stop." Hinata said through the laughter caused by everyone especially Sasuke who was currently rolling over the floor laughing.
"BUT WHY SHOULD I HINATA? IT'S FUN!" Naruto said drumming his head.
After a while of dancing, Naruto fainted.
"So, that was the side effect sensei told me about." Sakura said looking at the unconscious Naruto on the floor.
"It has nice effects though." Shikamaru said and Sakura smiled at him which made Sasuke jealous.
"I-I think we should bring N-Naruto-kun home now." Hinata said.
"You're right," Tenten said checking her watch. "It's already 3 a.m and I think we have class tomorrow."
"Yeah,"
After Sakura, Sasuke, Hinata and Neji told their parents that they were heading home, the limo picked them up. The whole ride was silent and the only thing that could be heard are Naruto's snores. The girls were resting their heads on the guys' shoulders. You know the pairing.
When they got to Sakura's house, which was where their things were, the guys were supposed to gather their things and head home themselves but Sakura insisted on them staying since it was already morning. Without hesitating, they nodded and all of the group fell asleep on Sakura's living room.
Sakura and Sasuke slept at the sofa hugging each other, Neji, Tenten, Shikamaru and Ino fell asleep on the carpet and Naruto fell asleep in the doorstep. All of them having romantic dreams about the people they like deep inside.
