Another Chance , But Maybe Another Fall
I walked down the road towards my house when I heard a car pull up beside me . I looked over and saw that it was Ino , Hinata , Tenten , and Temari . They all were crammed along with all of there stuff into Ino's purple SUV . I walked over to Ino's tinted window .
" Hey , Sakura do you want to go shopping with us ? " Ino asked in a pleading , puppy like voice . I looked at her and shifted from foot to foot trying to decide who to let them down easy .
" Um . . . i'm not big on shopping . " I say not being able to come up with a better excuse .
" You ARE coming Sakura ! We have to help you find the perfect suit to get Sasuke's attention . " Ino says to me .
" But - " I was cut of my two arm locking on my upper forearms . I looked up and saw that , while I had my eyes down turned towards the sidewalk , Ino had got out of the car and decided that she was to drag me to the open door of the SUV . She shoved me in and went back over to her door and looked them before I could get out .
" Fine , but I have to get something from my house . " I say . Ino nods and starts driving .
" Um . . .. Ino maybe you should ask Sakura where she lives first . " Hinata says in a commanding voice . Who knew that Hinata could do that ? Ino blushes a deep red and ask where I live .
" 3501 Johnvill Rd . " I say and Ino takes and right turn and starts driving . All the while we were driving the girls quizzed me on my taste in cloths . My common answer was ' what is that ' , and ' black and baggy ' .
Soon we pull up into my drive way and they marvel at the size of the house that I live in .
" You live here ?! " TenTen says as Ino cuts the engine and unlocks the door allowing me out . I sling my bag over my shoulder , and slam the door behind me .
" Yeah . " I say and start walking away when I here four door open and shut behind me . I turn and see that Ino , Hinata , Tenten , and Temari had gotten out of the car and started jogging to catch up to me .
" WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?!! " I yell at them . They look at me fear showing in their eyes and Ino speaks for them .
" We want to see what your house looks like , but when I say house I really should say mansion ! " I shake me head and decide that since my family already left to go to Martha's Vineyard , it was okay for them to come inside for a few minutes .
" Fine , but don't touch anything ! " I says while unlocking the door and walking inside . The girls soon follow behind me . Once inside they all stare at the huge room that they just walked into .
" God Sakura ! Its bigger on the inside !! " Ino says while walking over to the 90'' flat screen tv and flipping throught the channels .
" I said don't touch anything ! " I said and snatched the remote out of Inos' hands . She looks at me and then storms off towards the stairs with everyone following her . I run to catch up to them . They stop at the only door that is not painted the pale cream color , but instead of a dark , midnight black . I push past them and enter my room being careful not to let them see the blood stained walls .
The look around and study the everything that I own . The posters , the cds, at the cloths and the 10' by 10 ' book shelf full of books and Manga that I have read .
" Man Sakura have you read all of these ? " Tenten ask .
" Yes . " I say , while digging under the bed for the book that I hide me money in . I pull it out and flip to page 666 . I grab a few hundred dollars and slid the book back into its resting place under my bed . I pull my wallet from my back pocket and shove it in . I turn around and see that Ino , Tenten , Hinata and Temari were standing at my wall studying some of the newer blood .
" Hey Sakura , whats this ? " Temari ask while rubbing her fingres along the wall .
" Its just some paint . Lets go ! " I say and push them out of the door .
After another 20 minutes we arrived at the Konoha mall . Ino drives around for another 10 mintues to find a parking space near the main entrance . Soon we were walking in the huge doors to be greeted with the sights and sounds of a mall full of people .
" So girls ," Ino says , " Where to begin ? " I hear them all discussing numerous shops like American Eagle and Vitoria's secret . Truth be told I had no idea in hell what most of that stuff was . I turned around and saw a map . I scooted over and it seems that the gods loved me today because a Hot Topic was on the second floor . The catch was that i had to sneak past the four bickering girls and to the up escalator .
I scanned the area and today I seemed to be blessed because I spotted a large group of teenagers that were all dressed similar to me . I looked over at them again and saw that they were still fighting . I made a break for it . And I made it .
Soon I was standing at the entrance of the Hot Topic and I could feel the Death Metal pulsing in my very bones . I walked inside and was greeted by the feeling of belonging to something .
I went over to the cd counter and slipped the headphones on and strted listening to Bullet for my Valentines ' The Poison ' . Soon my favorite song started playing and I turned up the volume .
' Ten years ago
I got a call that nearly killed me
Repeat yourself my hands are shaking
When I was told
my friend wads gone
I felt so guilty
a thousand questions
left unanswered . '
I was so rapped up in the music I didn't notice the four vary pissed off girls standing behind me looking out of place in a shop full of dark colors , with their bright colored coths and stuff . I turned around to look at some shirts when I say Ino waiting there beside me tapping her fingers on the wood of the table .
" Sakura , what the hell do you think you are doing ? " Inn shouted to me . I cringed away from her . She took a step forward .
" Nothing Ino . Just . . . um " I left of with no idea of how to answer .
" Its called shopping . " I heard a voice behind me say and looked yo and saw my knight in raven armor .
" Sasuke get your ass up ! " Itachi shouted in my ear . I groaned and looked up at him . I glanced over at the clock and saw that it was 6 . It was way to early for me to be awake .
" What do you want Itachi ? " I asked or more like mummbled through the fabric of my pillow . He looked at me with a smirk . Oh god ! I thought ! Not again !
" We Sasuke are going shopping to try and find something to help you impress Sakura . " He said . I rolled over with my face buried in my pillow .
" I'm not going to the mall so I can be followed by hoards of fangirls again Itachi . " I said through my pillow .
" Fine you can stay here , with dad , who might I say is already hammered . " I peaked out from my pillow . Itachi knew he had won when he played ' the drunken father card ' .
" Fine . " I say and pull myself into a sitting position while rubbing the sleep from my eyes . Itachi left my room while I got dressed . At least we don't have school today , I thought .
An hour later we were driving in Itachi's car towards the Konoha mall . I sat in the passenger seat , still half asleep . listening to Itachi talk about what I could wear to impress Sakura . We finally pulled into the huge parking lot and were able to get inside without any fangirls following us . Once inside I groaned aloud at seeing the masses of people that were already at the mall at 8 in the morning .
" God Itachi ! why do you insist on making me do this stupid stuff ? " I asked while we were walking towards the Hot Topic on the second floor .
" Because I don't want you to be a emotionless bastered your whole life . " He stared the stopped in his tracks when he saw a few people walking our way . I realized who they were and watched as Pein walked hand in hand with Konan . They were followed by Kisame and Tobi . They were some of the members of Akatsuki .
" Hey Itachi ! " Kisame greeted .
" Kisame . " He greeted the blue skined man .
" What are you two doing here ? " Konan asked while falling into step with me and Itachi . Everyone else followed us as we walked the stretch in font of the store .
" We're here trying to find Sasuke something to impress a girl that he likes . " He said while smirking . I wanted so bad to hit the jackass so hard that he would go flying to the moon and never come back again .
" Whats she like ? And who is she ? " Pein asked . I had had enough of this and stormed off it Hot Topic . I could here them laugh at me as I walked along the main aisle . I turned and thought I saw a familiar flash of pink . Then I heard her angelic voice .
" Nothing Ino . Just . . . um " I heard her stop . I turned and saw he saw that she was surronded by Ino , Hinata , Temair , and Tenten .
" It's called shopping . " I say and see Sakura look up at me . Then without warning she runs behind me and uses me like a shield against the four girls . She pokes her head out under my arm and looks at the girls .
" We will be going now ! " She says and starts to drag me away from the group where they are getting madder by the second .
" Sakura ! Get back here this second ! " Ino says while storming after us . I turn to Sakura and sees that she , like me dose not want to face a pissed off Ino . So I turn , grab her hand and pull her with me out of the store towards where we see Akatsuki standing at the water fountain of the first floor .
Out of breath we sit down next to Itachi and we look at each other . I realize that I like the feel of Sakura's hand in mine and that Sakura feels the same way about my hand . We lean in about to kiss , when a loud voice shouts , " Pinkie ! "
I see anger flare up in her eyes towards the high , child like voice that brought us out of what we were feeling .
" Tobi ?!?! " Sakura ask unable to belive that Akatsuki is here . I look at the child like leader of Akatsuki and remember that Sakura was once a member of the group that Itachi has asked me to join countless times .
" Sakura , I trust you remember everyone ? " I itachi says . He smiles a real smile as Sakura and Konan hug each other than start talking about whats been going on . I smile and Itachi sees it . He smirks at me . Soon Sakura sits don to start catching up with everyone when , right out of the blue we hear Ino scream ,
" Sasuke Uchiha ! I swear you will die if you don't hand Sakura over right now ! " I roll my eyes at Ino's empty threat and feel Sakura press herself closer to me .
" No can do Ino . I like Sakura right here with me . " Them I pull Sakura right onto my lap and kiss her full on the lips .
