Sakura ran down the stairs disappearing back into the crowd of the party. All she wanted to was go home and throw every one of her shoes through a wall. She hated this.. this confusion, this angry feeling in the pit of her stomach. She was really no in the mood for human interaction. Especially the human interaction that was about to come her way.
"OH MY GOD Its Haruno Sakura!" Sakura was finding very hard to not bang her head against the wall at this very moment.
"Are you for real?" She muttered under her breath, turning to face the fiery red head.
She plastered a big fat fake smile on her face before replying with a decent attempt to be cheery. "Hi there."
"I'm like your biggest fan! Look Im even wearing that dress you wore to the Japanese music awards." She singalled to the dark blue material that hardly covered her butt.
Sakura looked down in awkward silence. That certainly was not how she remembered that specific item of clothing.
"Urgh, sweety that was a shirt." She told her softly, trying not to raise her voice and embaress her. Sure, Karin was a skank, but that didn't call for her to be a bitch, yet.
"Oh don't worry about it, I have the legs to pull it off, its okay sweety, unlike you I can wear anything." She laughed, unaware of the pink haired girl who was trying very hard not to punch her in her four eyes.
"Im sorry ladies I'm going to have to steal Sakura for a moment." A cool voice like velvet murmured in her ear, causing her to shudder.
"Sasuke-kun! What are you doing here? Do you know Haruno Sakura?" She demanded, obviously straining to keep her voice light and friendly, causing Sakura to smirk.
"No, Im jusst reeeeaaalllyyy good friends with his brother, Tachi-kun." she said, making her voice go all high and girly with affection, whilst pushing away from the youngest Uchiha and walking off, ignoring the squeals of excitement as she walked past. Some people even stopped her for photos and autographs.
"Maybe this wasn't the best idea after all." She muttered to herself signing her fiftieth card, while pulling her lips into a fake smile. smile and wave, smile and wave.
"Drink?" She turned to see Sai holding the one thing she needed, smiling slightly. His hair was all ruffled, and red lipstick marks were scattered all over his neck.
"Just what I needed!" She yelped greatfully, pulling it out of his hands, eyeing his neck. "Obviously someone's having a good night." She said, raising an eyebrow.
He shrugged. "Its been okay, and yours?" She snorted in response, taking a few deep gulps of her drink, causing his smile to widen.
"Not so okay hey? Would it have anything to do with that lost puppy over there?" She looked up to wear he was pointing to an adorable lost looking Sasuke, his eyes darting around the massive crowd looking for a certain pink haired girl.
"Arkk! Hide me." She yelped, hiding behind his slim long build.
He sighed. "I honestly have better things to do than be your human hidey wall. I'm sure every other male at this party would gladly do that for you."
She ducked around him, emerald orbs narrowing.
"I liked you better when you didn't know how to talk to girls." She grumbled.
"You hardly count." He answered easily, not even thinking about his answer.
There was a pause.
"That was stupid wasn't it?" he asked, slowly stepping back.
"Yes, yes it was. I suggest you leave now, before you end up in the Uchiha's wall. Sandstone is so terribly expensive to replace these days." She giggled dangerously before walking off into the crowd, leaving a mildly unnerved looking Sai, scowling heavily as she was blinded by several flashing camera's. Not cool.
"SAKURAAAA-CHAN!" Tobi screamed. glomping her from behind.
"Hey Tobi." She said smiling. She would rather spend the night with a twenty something year old who acted like a five year old then people her age.
"Sakura-chan want to go play lego with Tobi? Tobi has lots of lego from Itachi-sempai and Itachi-sempai's scary little brother!" He yelled joyfully, pulling her through the crowd towards a more unoccupied part of the mansion, off into a small room absolutly full of lego. Literally piles of plastic everywhere.
"Tobi was making the death star from star wars! Does Sakura-chan want to make hogwarts?" He asked curiously, focussing on the funny ball that honestly resembled nothing out of star wars.
"Good work Tobi." Sakura replied smiling, ruffling his spiky black hair.
"Sakura? What are you doing in here?" A voice came from the door. They both looked up to see Itachi leaning against the wall, a slight surprised look on his face.
"SAKURA-CHAN IS PLAYING WITH TOBI!" Tobi replied happily, throwing a pile of lego in the air.
"Thats great Tobi, mind if I borrow Sakura-chan for a minute?" Itachi asked, smirking slightly.
"Sure thing Itachi-sempai. Because Tobi is a good boy and Tobi shares his friends!"
Sakura got up and walked just outside of the room as Itachi shut the door.
"What is it Ita-kun?" She asked as he leaned against the wall.
"I don't think it is a really a good idea for you to play alone with Tobi." He said quietly. Her face widened slightly in surprised. Sure, Tobi was a bit strange, but he seemed harmless enough.
"How come?" Sakura asked, curiosity leaking into her voice.
Itachi sighed deeply, running a hand through his long hair. "Tobi is... a little different." He seemed to struggle to find the right word.
"Really? Hadn't noticed."
"He.. well he has... split personality disorder." He finished, ignoring her sarcasm. She gaped.
"Hang on, what!"
"Yeah, hes kind of my cousin Madara. Talented as hell musician. Crazy as hell. Madara is one crazy guy. No one in the family would look after him so I volunteered."
Sakura was silent for a minute. "Wow."
Itachi smirked slighty. "hn. I think you should go enjoy the party now. Ill play lego with Tobi."
"Don't you want to go enjoy the festivities?" Sakura asked returning his smirk. He made a face.
"And have some more random fangirls try and feel me up? No thanks. Last thing I need is that red haired girl trying to shove her hands down my pants." He visibly shuttered at the idea.
She smirked and turned to walk back into the crowd, fully intent to have a little bit to much to drink. Tonight was not a night she wished to remember. It had honestly been a little shit so far.
As she walked past one of the waiters she grabbed 3 shot glasses of the plate off the plate and sculled them, chucking the empty glasses back down on his plate with a bang, grinning slightly.
"I don't remember you having such a drinking problem Sak." A light amused voice came from behind her, causing her to squeak in excitement and throw her arms around the owner, who was grinning so wide you could make out every separate sharp white teeth.
When Sakura had been younger, life was not as easy as it was today. She was young, shy and likey to burst into tears at a single mean word. Gaara was never really aloud to play with the other kids because he scared the crap out of all the other kids. When the others would tease her and push her around, she could always really on the strange shark toothed boy with light violet hair. He would threaten to bite off their heads before smacking her on the back of the head and tell her off for being such a wuss. They had become best friends for a few years, before he had to move away suddenly.
"Suigetsu! I havent seen you in ages! What are you doing here?" She squealed hugging him tightly.
He laughed. "Me and Sasuke met a few years ago on Hawaii back in the party days. He's one of the best friends, even though he is an ass." They both snickered at the last comment, unaware of the seething Uchiha behind them.
"Suigetsu..." Came a low grunt from behind Sakura. They both turned to see Sasuke, eyes narrowed slightly, hands in his pockets.
"Oii! Theres the moody bitch!" Suigetsu yelled loudly, smacking him loudly on the back. He shot him his biggest death glare ever as he turned away.
Sasuke turned his eyes to Sakura, nodding slightly.
"Are you following me? That is a highly unattractive trait Sasuke." She muttered. His glare turned to her.
"I have better things to do." He snorted.
"Obviously not. Now if you excuse us, Suigetsu and I have some catching up to do." She replied, pulling Suigetsu away by his arm.
"Cya buddy!" He called to the Uchiha.
"Wow he seems pissed for some reason." He said turning around back to Sakura.
"Who honestly cares." Sakura said, grinning, putting her arms around his neck.
He raised an eyebrow, saying nothing as he put his arms around her waist, starting to dance.
"Trying to make someone mad?" He whispered in her ear laughing softly.
"Why?" She asked grinning.
He inclined his head, to where a glaring Sasuke was standing in the corner, completely oblivious to the many girls trying to throw themselves at him.
"Who knew the Uchiha could get jealous." He snorted.
"Guess there's a first time for everything." she answered.
For five minutes they danced. Close. For five minutes he watched. Growing more and more angry by the second. Until he couldn't deal with it anymore. He walked back over to the couple.
"Sakura can I talk to you?" He asked voice low.
"No."
"Let me rephrase that come and talk to me." He said, pulling her into the hallway, leaving a slightly lost looking Suigetsu.
Once they got out of the crowd Sakura whirled around angrily. "WHAT THE HELL SASUKE!" She was silenced by his lips on hers, his arms pinning her to the wall.
"Go out with me." He whispered pulling away.
"Hell no." She panted, pushing away. "You don't understand the concept of going out."
He caught her hand as she pulled away. "Think about it. Please."
She gaped. Sasuke didn't say please. She didn't even know it was in his vocabulary.
"Ill think about it." She said, walking away leaving Sasuke feeling more alone than ever.
