Ps...I do not...own...Naruto...but..on with the story.
"Aw..." Sakura grabbed Ino's writs and turned toward the Hokage's building again. "Thank you Kakashi-sensei." Both girls walked off toward the tall building.
"Ok, so I informed the hokage that Sakura will be living with one of you now..." kakashi paused, he expected to get at least one complaint out of Sasuke. "And Ino will be living with Shikimaru for the time being."
WITH THE GIRLS
"WHAT?!" Both girls yelled in union.
"You two will be living with your teams."
"Shikimaru has been assigned to Ino, Kakashi...he is asking the boys who you will stay with Sakura."
"I don't need to be a burden on them."
"Sakura until you tell me who is responsible; this is the way it has to be." Sakura looked at Ino.
"Ok, the people responsible are my uncle and my father."
Tsunade looked shocked to think her father would do such a thing. "Sakura, are you sure?" Sakura nodded. "Yes Tsunade-sensei."
"Ok then. Tell me everything Sakura."
WITH TEAM 7
Sasuke, Naruto, Lee and Kakashi were at the Ramen shop, when the girls walked in. Naruto and Lee saw them at the same time, but Lee was the first to speak.
(Ok, Lee is well not the same as in the show which you will see later on in here.)
Lee, " what a sight to behold the two most beautiful girls in the whole county are eating ramen here with us. I am not worthy to eat with you." Lee bowed; the girls blushed.
"Aw, come on Bushy Brows it's only Sakura-chan and Ino-chan." Naruto yelled from his spot between his sensei and Sasuke.
"NARUTO!" Naruto half turned around to look at the pissed off Sakura. A split second later Sakura and Ino had Naruto pinned to the ground.
"Well Naruto..." Kakashi stated while reading his book. "You go what you deserved." Kakashi slowly closed his book and got up to leave.
"Kakashi-sensei you can't just leave me like this!" A whining Naruto cried.
"Hn." Naruto glared at Sasuke's back.
"You're NO help Sasuke-teme!"
"Dobe." Sasuke never turned around.
"Sakura." Sakura looked at Kakashi. "Don't kill him...he has training later." With those words Kakashi left.
"Sakura-chan I...I...was...were...was just kidding." Lee was laughing hiss ass off in the corner. And Ino well lets just say she remembered the picture incident.
"Naruto." Ino looked at Naruto. Seeing the uncertainty in his crystal blue eyes she whispered something into his ear.
His eyes shot wide open. He looked at Sasuke. "TEME!" This time Sasuke turned around.
"What do you want Dobe." Sasuke glared. Sakura was holding down Naruto.
"Truth or Dare." Sasuke stared at Naruto. ' how childish.'
Sakura looked from Naruto to Ino to Naruto then to SAsuke.
"Ino...what did you tell Naruto to do?"
"Um...nothing...Lee come here please." Lee walked jealous of Naruto. "Can you hold Sakura for us?"
"What?!" Sakura was alarmed.
"Teme...truth or dare?"
"Hn" Sasuke folded his arms across his chest just as Lee grabbed Sakura off of Naruto. The room was silent.
"Dare." All eyes turned to Sasuke. Naruto grinned, Ino grinned and Sakura realized what was going on. She kicked Lee and yelled at Sasuke, " Sasuke-kun take that back!"
Sasuke smirked. "Why."
Sakura just stood there. "Ino, stop Naruto or you'll really have someone to be afraid of."
"Sasuke-teme I dare you...to...(pretends to think) reach inside Sakura-chan's shirt for the picture."
Sasuke's eyes widened. 'That's what she was yelling about.' Lee gasped, "Naruto without Sakura's permission this isn't right."
Sakura was hitting Naruto as much as she could. Naruto was trying to get away. Ino walked up to Sasuke and whispered. "You don't have to do it now Sasuke-kun, you can get her tonight at the party." she paused uncertainly, "unless you're too chicken."
Sakura glared at them while Sasuke glared at Ino.
"Ino-pig what are you doing?"
"Um...nothing, I was just telling Sasuke the bet was off that's all."
"I don't believe you." with that Sakura let go of Naruto and walked out of the shop and across the street to a dress shop.
As Sakura was looking through the stores' beautiful dresses, someone came up behind her.
"Hey Sakura?"
"Ino-pig."
"Sakura, im sorry but I came to tell you that I told Sasuke-kun to get you tonight at the party."
"Really?"
"Yeah..."Ino grinned.
"I still don't trust you."
"Go try on these two dresses."
Sakura looked unsure. "Ok."
Sakura took the two dresses to the back changing area. The first dress the grabbed from Ino was a blue dress spaghetti strapped that had pink beads in the form of a flower, with a low neckline. As Sakura came out she noticed that Naruto, Hinata and Lee were there along with Ino.
"Wow, Sakura-chan that dress is beautiful." Hinata was in awe. Naruto turned around and saw Sakura in the blue satin dress, she looked beautiful. "Wow, Sakura-chan!"
Sakura blushed when she saw all four of them staring. Just then Lee started getting mushy on her.
"Sakura you look lovely."
"Thank you Lee." Sakura looked at Ino and Hinata. "Go get dresses you two."
Sakura turned and went back into the changing rooms with Ino; Ino already had her dress picked out. When Ino came out Lee, again, said she looked lovely. Her dress was pretty, it went down to her calf, no beads but the dress was purple and spaghetti straps for sleeves. One corner of the dress was pulled up to her thy and had frills all the way around the bottom.
"Come on Forehead-girl!" She grinned.
"I'm coming."Sakura stepped out of the changing room and walked to the mirror; not looking back to see who was watching her. This dress was more stunning. It was red and black, it had little beads embroided into the silk in a weird shape on the bottom right corner of the dress. The dress is held in place by itself, so the straps can drape off her shoulders. As Sakura was looking at the dress in the mirror she looked up momentarily and felt eyes watching her; she blushed. Sakura slowly turned around.
"What do you think?" Everyone was staring at Sakura again. Sakura spun in a circle so the dress could float in a circle.
"Sakura-chan, you-you should get this one." Hinata hit Naruto in the ribs.
"Yeah Sakura-chan it's beautiful." Naruto scratched the back of his head.
"Ok I will." Sakura smiled.
Hinata and Naruto walked to the other side of the store, so Hinata could find a dress to wear. Naruto was remembering what had happened earlier that day.
FLASHBACK
"So who is Sakura going to stay with?" kakashi questioned.
"Um..." Naruto sighed he knew deep down both him and Sasuke wanted Sakura to stay at both their houses.
"Sasuke-teme."
"Hn?"
"Sakura can stay with you."
"..." Kakashi grinned, 'well that defiantly wasn't a no.'
Before Sasuke had a chance to voice his opinion Kakashi cut him off. "Alright it's settled. Sakura is going to stay with Sasuke this weekend."
END FLASHBACK
Sakura was getting ready at Hinata's house, while Ino was at Tenten's house. Hinata had picked out a dark blue dress with sparkles because Naruto said it reminded him of the night sky. Tenten had gotten a black dress with a red dragonfly embroided on the bottom. Tenten also decided to leave her hair down instead of braiding it. (Interesting huh?)
As Sakura was putting on makeup Hinata was doing Sakura's hair. Hinata curled Sakura's bangs and had them framing her face, while the rest of Sakura's hair was put up in a barrette. ( think of Riza Hawkeye from FMA for the barrette part.) Sakura hd parts of Hinata's long hair braided, Hainta's hair is waist length now.
"So, Hinata...when's the wedding?" Hinata looked shocked, they hadn't told anyone yet, not even her father; he wouldn't allow their marriage. "H-how did you know?"
"I have my ways." Sakura winked; both girls laughed.
"We aren't sure yet.." Hinata paused, " A spring wedding has always been something I've liked though."
Sakura grinned, "Why not ask Naruto about a spring wedding?"
"Because he's so busy with training that I hardly see him...and I don't want to bother him."
"You won't be, and besides if you don't tell him I will."
"No, Sakura-chan you mustn't."
"Ok..." 'If I can't Ino can.'
LATER THIS NIGHT
Shikimaru was wearing dark blue pants and a white shirt, Neji was wearing a black pair of pants only with a red shirt; Naruto well he didn't even try to dress up.
The party was in the center of town, people were eating, drinking and dancing to their delight. Naruto of course was eating ramen, Shikimaru and Neji were sitting on a bench being quiet. Sasuke was trying to ignore Lee's frantic search to find Sakura and her 'date', which everyone, except him knew she didn't have one.
"Shikimaru!" Shikimaru looked up and saw Ino in a breathtaking dress. "How troublesome." He got up and escorted her to were Hinata and Naruto were.
"Hey guys!" Naruto yelled with his mouth full of ramen.
"EW! Naruto!" Ino screeched and hit Naruto on the head. "Where is forehead-girl anyway?" Ino was tapped on the shoulder.
"Ino-pig look what I've got." Ino turned around and burst out laughing, infront of her was the picture of Naruto and Sasuke.
"Forehead-girl. Someone is going to get that tonight."
"Nope."
The DJ started playing songs so all the girls went to dance. (Use your imagination for the songs.) Sasuke walked up to the guys who were sitting there watching the girls dancing. Unfortunately Sasuke had 'never' paid attention to people dancing before. As the night progressed the girls all came back and sat with the whole group.
"Alright I'm bored." Sakura declared.
"Naruto, truth or dare." Ino winked at Sakura.
"No!" As Sakura protested Neji, Shikimaru, and Hinata wanted to know why.
"Here." Sakura showed the picture to them, getting a death glare from Sasuke. This photo got Neji and Shikimaru to laugh; Hinata blushed.
"Sasuke..." Ino looked at Sasuke. "I believe you chose dare earlier today." Just then Sakura got up and walked over to Tsunade, who was sitting and drinking sake.
"Sasuke-kun unless you're a chicken go after the picture. Ino chanted, still laughing about the incident earlier.
"What if i don't care about it anymore." He glared at Naruto, " Dobe, this is all your fault."
"Teme! How is it my fault?!" Naruto go up and stood infront of Sasuke.
"Dobe."
"How trouble some." Shikimaru actually commented, "Sasuke liked Sakura, but is too afraid to go after the picture." He shook his head and folded his hands behind his head.
They all looked at Sasuke. Then Sasuke realized something Sakura never took the picture from Neji.
"Neji." Neji glanced up from the picture. "Uchiha, i never knew you swung that way." Sasuke glared. "Give me that picture."
"No." Neji paused. " Sakura!" Sakura looked up, then walked over.
"Huh?"
"Uchiha wanted me to give you this back." Sakura raised her eyebrow.
"Moron, that's not what i said, i said give it to me."
Sakura stepped up to Neji and took the picture. Neji let Sakura take the picture, when she was about to step backward, Shikimaru tripped her and Sasuke caught her. Sakura was pissed, Sasuke had to hold her back she was about to 'kill' them both. Unknown to both of them Naruto, yes Naruto took a picture of them. ( i don't have an addiction to cameras or pictures...it just sort of fit this fan fic) Sasuke's arms were around Sakura's waist, one of her arms was resting on his arm while the other arm was trying to reaching for Neji.
Naruto showed the picture to Sasuke, he grinned and took the picture from Naruto with his freehand, then held it infront of Sakura. The moment Sakura saw the picture she tried to grab it. Sasuke pulled it back and held it above her head. Sakura spun around trying to get the picture back, she was still in Sasuke's arms, once she realized how close they were she pulled back. Sasuke saw the blush on her face and played into it. While she tried to pull away he pulled her closer till their faces were centimeters apart. The group, especially Naruto gasped, never had Sasuke, (human ice cube) allowed anyone that close. He lowered his hand and cupped her face, then lowered his hand again. The look on Sakura's face was that of shock, Sasuke took this moment to grab the picture out of her shirt. Sasuke was definitely shocked, as was the whole group.
Sasuke smirked, ' i can't believe i just did that.' was his only thought.
Sakura's thoughts, ' did that really happen?'
Everyone else. ' i can't believe he just did that.'
Sasuke let go of Sakura, he started to turn and walk away only Sakura grabbed both pictures back from Sasuke, he spun around at once; he glared at Sakura.
"Go Sakura-chan!" Sakura looked at Sasuke then to Naruto, "thank you Naruto-kun."
Sasuke 'where did that 'kun' come from.'
Sakura giggled and looked at Sasuke, she then turned and walked over to Tsunade; hiding one picture behind her back. She showed her the one of Naruto and Sasuke. Whatever Tsunade was drinking was spit all over the counter as she began to laugh her ass off. Sakura was contemp sitting there with her sensei until she felt a tap on her shoulder. Turning Sakura noticed it was Lee, not in that ugly spandex but in black pants and a navy shirt.
"Hi Lee."
"Sakura-chan will you dance with me?" Lee asked holding his head high hoping not to get rejected again.
"Sure." Sakura set the pictures in Hinate's purse when no one was looking, or so she thought. Sasuke saw where she put them; he also saw who shw was going to dance with. The fact that it was Lee didn't settle with him at all. It felt like an eternity that Sakura was dancing with Lee, Sasuke continued to stare until Naruto got in his way.
"Dobe."
"Teme."Naruto looked behind him to see what Sasuke was looking so intently at. " Just ask her to be your girlfriend."
"Hn."
Finally the song was over and Lee walked Sakura back to Naruto and Sasuke. He bowed before Sakura again, only this time as Sasuke expected he kissed her hand again. "Good night Sakura-chan." With that he started to turn and walk away, but he caught the glare he received from Sasuke.
"Lee are you alright?" Sakura looked at Lee. He spun around and kissed Sakura on the lips. Naruto and Sasuke stood there shocked, but the look of shock on Sakura's face was greater. Lee again said good night and left.
"Sakura- chan?" Naruto walked over to Sakura.
"Huh? Oh hi Naruto." She smiled, until Naruto whispered something in her ear.
"What?" Sakura looked around Naruto to look at Sasuke who was glaring at the retreating from of Lee.
"Sasuke-kun?" Sakura looked at Sasuke as he looked up at her. "I ...uh...never mind." She smiled and walked off.
"Dobe."
"I don't think i should be the one to tell you this teme..."
"Hn." Sasuke glared even harder at Naruto, if possible. Naruto sat beside Sasuke.
"Lee gave Sakura a note asking her out yesterday, she said no and then he asked if she would pretend so that you would fight him. Sakura knows he doesn't like her but he's just using her to get to you." Naruto took this opportunity to glance at Sasuke. Sasuke looked about ready to explode. (Wouldn't you be...i mean i could be flattered but Sakura's just getting hurt in here.)
"Really now..."Sasuke got up and tried to follow after Sakura, Naruto stopped him.
"Teme, let Sakura be...unless..."he paused.
"Hn?"
"Unless your going to ask her out."
BANG! CRASH!
"Ouch!" Naruto was hit on the head. Sasuke started to walk after Sakura. He was half way through the crowed of people when some of his fan girls found him. He pushed them away and when he was out of the crowed area he looked for Sakura.
"If you're looking for Sakura...you should go to the cherry blossoms."
Sasuke looked at Ino. "Hn...thanx."
Ino was taken back for a moment the Uchiha just thanked someone, her in fact. Sasuke started to walk toward the cherry blossoms.
Upon getting there he noticed Sakura sitting in a tree looking at the moon through the branches of the tree. As he approached he noticed the faint sound of music,
'so she's listening to music.' The only other sound was the breeze blowing the trees and the water in the river.
