A/N: CHAPTER 14! WOO HOO! XD HOLEY CRAP I REACHED OVA 200 REVIEWS!! YAYY!! I'M SOOOOO HAPPY!! Thank you to the ever so cool Blossom-san for being tha 200th reviewer and to everyone else who reviewed!! Woo Hoo!! The reason I updated earlier last chapter was because (one) I had wireless connection on my laptop for only two days and had nothing else to do and (two) I rock. ;P Oh, and I was looking over my chapters on and I realized that the uploader thing was being retarded and I had to change a lot of things. So please don't get mad at me if something doesn't make sense! (Thank you to Oblivion Rose for that!)

Chapter 14: Sparks fly and die
I was having the time of my life. Dancing with Idate, having fun with the rest of his friends and mine, and making Sasuke jealous.
Yup. It couldn't get any better than this.
That is, until I saw the Blonde Bitch.
She was sticking to him like freggin Crazy Glue! And, according to Sai and Tenten (who are two of the friendliest 17-year-olds I've ever met), her name was Yamanaka Ino, and Sasuke was 'escorting, not dating' her. Escort, dating, MY ASS! She's practically asking for him to screw her! I mean, just look at her dress! It was one of the most sluttish things I've ever seen! It was practically a shirt; a really tight and expensive looking single-strap shirt!
Ooh, that bitch is going DOWN!! Inner-Me yelled angrily rolling up her sleeves.
"She's the captain of the cheerleading squad at KPA," Tenten had told me as we both eyed Ino evilly, "Sasuke only asked her because—"
"Because he didn't have anyone else to go with and he was desperate," Sai cut in with a grin. I laughed and Tenten rolled her eyes.
"He looks like he's into her," Naruto said as him, Hinata-chan and me were talking at the dining area, "I mean, look at them; they're practically having sex with their clothes on!"
I sent him a deadly glare at which I saw Hinata-chan sweat drop at. The Blonde Bitch was all over him, and I really had to agree with the song that was playing: She's a maneater, make you work hard, make you spend it all, make you want all her love…
Eh, screw her. I bet Sasuke doesn't even like her… Inner-Me said.
How would you know that?
How else? I mean, look at her! She's a complete and total slut!
Well, I know that…
Exactly! So, when he's done screwing her, he'll come to us!
So he'll screw us?
Yes!
…and that's a good thing?
In this case it is!
My gaze wandered from Sasuke and the Blonde Bitch to the drinks table, where Idate and the rest of his friends were laughing loudly and drinking what seemed to be punch. The only thing he's actually done with me tonight was dance to at least three songs and let me introduce him to some on my friends. (Behind his back, though, a lot of people were telling me that if he was part of Akatsuki, then he's bad news. What the hell is an Akatsuki?)
Sai and Tenten plopped down in front of us with a sigh (they were dancing together most of the time). I smiled, "You guys having fun?" I asked. There was a tiny blush on Tenten's cheek as Sai laughed a bit and scratched the back of his head. Naruto chuckled and grabbed Hinata-chan's hand. "We're going to go back to dancing," he said as she got up. She gave me a smile as Naruto lead her to the dance floor.
I smiled and let out a small giggle as I watched the couple start to dance (grind). "They just got together?" Tenten asked me, and I could tell she was smiling as well. I nodded, my eyes wandering around the hall. "Yeah, just a week or two ago," I answered.
"How'd he take the Playoffs?" Sai asked gesturing towards Naruto, "With the final shot and everything?"
I sighed and placed my hands on my lap, looking at my palms as I spoke, "He was a bit depressed for a while," I said, "Neji-san and Shikamaru-san and the rest of the team expected him to win, since he was the one who beat you guys before, and when he missed it, he told me 'It was like an anxiety attack but in reverse' or something like that." I smiled softly, "But the rest of the team supported him. They didn't blame him for the loss, even though everyone knew it was mostly his fault. Even Tsunade-sama, our principal, said that it was a gain, not a loss. But she never explained what the gain was…"
Sai chuckled and Tenten smiled. "Well, as long as he's not feeling as bad now," Sai said, glancing at Naruto and Hinata-chan, who were still on the dance floor.
Just then, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around in my seat and saw Neji, tux and all. I smiled, "You're actually wearing a tux?" I said teasingly and I giggled when I saw him scowl. He had on a black tux with a plain black tie. His long hair, which was usually left lose, was now in a neat ponytail at the back of his head. All around, he looked as handsome as ever.
"Where's Hinata-sama?" he asked, but I ignored him and gestured towards Sai and Tenten, saying, "Neji-san, you remember Sai and Tenten, from the KPA basketball team, right?"
Neji looked up at Sai and Tenten. Sai stood up and held out his hand, "Good game back then, man," he said as Neji took it and shook it curtly with a nod. Tenten gave a small nod in her seat, hiding her face in the shadows of her bangs. I saw Neji take one good look at her before he turned back to me, his earlier question still etched on his face.
I rolled my eyes and pointed to Naruto and Hinata-chan dancing (grinding) (having sex with their clothes on) (pressed up against each other) on the dance floor. He clenched his fists momentarily and was about to march over to them when I stood grabbed his arm and forcefully pulled him back into the seat that previously sat in. "Oh no you don't, mister," I said, pointing at him like an accusing mother, "You are not going to ruin this night for her."
"But look at him!" Neji protested, pointing to the happy couple, "He's got his hands all over her! I mean, they're practically having sex with their clothes on!"
"You're starting to sound like Naruto," I said under my breath.
"What was that?" he said.
"Shut up," I snapped, and he promptly shut his mouth when he saw the flicker of anger in my eyes.
Inner Me crackled malevolently. Yeah, that's right, Neji, she said, Sit there and obey our every order or else you'll be wishing you were never born. MUWAHAHAHAHAA!!
I smirked evilly, forcing back the urge to say that out loud. "Good," I said, "Now you behave yourself while I go get something to drink." I patted his hand like a child and giggled when he crossed his arms and scowled at me.
I saw Sai and Tenten holding back their laughter as I passed by and smiled. "Wow man, you're screwed," I heard Sai say and I giggled again.
When I arrived, I noticed that Idate wasn't with the rest of his friends, along with Itachi and Sasori. "Where's Idate?" I asked Deidara, Kisame, Tobi, and Hidan.
"They just 'went to the bathroom', yeah," he said, using air quotes. Kisame chuckled. "Don't listen to him," he said, "He always implies the wrong idea."
"I didn't say anything else!" Deidara shot back, "I just said that they went to the bathroom…yeah!" I giggled and picked up two cups and started to pour some punch in. "Thanks guys," I said with a bright smile.
"I wouldn't drink that if I were you, Sakura-san," Tobi spoke up. I paused and looked up at him, confused. "Why not?" I asked. They grinned at each other before Kisame stage whispered, "It's spiked."
I nearly dropped the cup I was holding in my hand, "It's spiked?" I repeated, "Who spiked it?"
Kisame shrugged and grinned, "I dunno but whoever did really wanted someone to get drunk."
"Well, I don't know about you guys," Deidara said, picking up the glass of spiked punch that I had nearly dropped, "but I'm of age to be drinking alcohol." And to prove his point, he jugged down the drink down to the last drop.
I rolled my eyes and smiled a bit. "Thanks for that, Tobi-san," I said. Tobi smiled a bit (though I couldn't see it) and nodded. I crouched down instead and picked up two cans of soda from one of the coolers under the table and waved a bit at the rest before making my way back to Sai, Tenten and Neji. But when I got there, only Sai was there, with a grin plastered on his face.
"Where's Neji-san and Tenten-san?" I asked, handing him a can of soda. He looked at me and chuckled, pointing towards the dance floor behind his back, "Dancing," he said.
The soda in my hand nearly exploded. "WHAT?!" I nearly yelled (louder than necessary).
"Hey, what happened to the punch?" he asked, looking at the can of soda in his hand as if it appeared out of nowhere.
"It's spiked," I said quickly, "And why the hell is Neji and Tenten dancing?! Do they even know each other?"
"It's spiked?!" Sai repeated, absolutely ignoring everything but that I had just said, "Who the hell—"
"Can you just please answer my question!!" I nearly yelled, causing Sai to cringe in his seat and look up at me with shiny scared eyes.
"A-Alright, alright," he said, shifting his jacket, "They were just sitting there, Neji and Tenten, glaring at each other for what reason, I don't know. And then, out of the blue, Neji told her, not asked, TOLD her to dance with him. And she agreed, leaving me here like I didn't even exist in the first place!" He crossed his arms over his chest and pouted a bit.
I looked at the crowd of students on the dance floor and easily picked out Neji and Tenten. He had his arms tightly wrapped around her stomach and her hands were on his as they moved slowly to the fast beat. I giggled, "Neji-san looks horny," I said, noting his features.
Sai laughed again just as Hinata-chan and Naruto made their way towards us, both of them sweating. "Have you seen your cousin lately, Hinata-chan?" I asked, handing her my soda.
She shook her head and took a few sips of the drink, which Naruto took after and gulped the rest down.
I pointed to the newly found "couple" on the dance floor (still dancing, uh, grinding). Hinata-chan followed my gaze and nearly choked on her own spit at the sight. "Oh my…" she whispered, a blush growing on her face as she clutched her hand over her chest. She probably didn't know what else to say, and heck, I don't blame her.
Naruto laughed at what he saw, "Okay, I take back what I said about Sasuke and what's-her-face," he said, "That is what you call having sex with your clothes on."
We all laughed again, but were interrupted when someone tapped Sai on the shoulder from behind. I looked up and saw Sasuke standing there, looking as impassive (and smoking hot with a tux) as ever. "Oh, hey, Sasuke," Sai said, standing from his seat, "You remember Naruto-kun and Hinata-san, right?"
Naruto gave an indifferent wave and Hinata-chan bowed slightly in her seat. Sasuke nodded and avoided my gaze as he said to Sai, "Can I talk to your for a minute?"
Sai glanced back at us for a moment before he said, "I'll be right back." He followed Sasuke to an empty table a few yards away from us.
I wonder what they're saying… I thought.
Probably that the Blonde Bitch is a whore and everyone should love us! Inner-Me said enthusiastically. I rolled my eyes. Probably not… I thought.
"Did he talk to you?" Hinata-chan asked, snapping me out of my little daze.
"W-Who?" I asked absentmindedly.
"Sasuke-san," she answered simply, "Did he say anything about last night?"
I looked down at my lap and sighed. "No," I said dully, "He was acting like an ass at the restaurant, though."
Naruto snorted and crossed his arms over his chest. "That dude's a bastard," he said, "I don't know what you see in him, Sakura-chan."
"I don't see anything in him," I snapped, looking up at the both of them. Seeing their slightly hurt faces, I mentally groaned and looked back down. "It's just…complicated," I mumbled.
Just then, the DJ changed the song, and a familiar beat filled the room.
Boy meets girl
You were my dream, my world
But I was blindYou cheated on me from behind
So on my own
I feel so all alone
Thought I know, it's true
I'm still in love with you
Hinata-chan put a soft hand on mine, "Are you alright?" she asked lightly. I nodded and looked up at her, smiling a bit, "Mm, arigato," I said, "You guys can go dance if you want."
"Are you sure?" she said, "I don't want to—"
"Just go before the song ends," I interrupted her with a grin.
She looked at me for a moment before smiling a bit and grabbing Naruto's hand and pulling him towards the crowd of dancing students (where Neji and Tenten were still at!)
I sighed and started to mouth the rest of the song to myself.
I need a miracle
I wanna be your gir
lGive me a chance to see
That you are made for me
I need a miracle
Please let me be your girl
One day you'll see what can happen to me, can happen to me.
As I looked over the dance floor, I saw a few familiar faces. Kumiko was dancing with some guy I didn't recognize, but weirdly enough had sunglasses on in the dim light. To my surprise, Sai (who apparently abandoned Sasuke) was dancing with Miu, a cute petite girl on the cheerleading squad. She was one of the few who were actually nice to me and not all that 'loyal' to Ami. Shikamaru was dancing with a girl I didn't recognize, but had a low cut gold dress what was as short as mine, or probably shorter. Her hair was tied up in four ponytails; two at the top of her head and two at the bottom. Overall, Shikamaru didn't look too comfortable (but then again, he rarely ever does).
I saw Neji, Tenten, Naruto, and Hinata-chan together, as well. Even the Blonde Bitch abandoned Sasuke and was grinding between two girls. (Um, ew?)
I sighed again and propped my chin in my palm. "So much for a faithful boyfriend," I muttered, thinking about Idate.
Just then, I heard someone call my name rather loudly and turned around. Speak of the devil…
And the devil shall appear, I finished off for my alter ego, watching as Idate discreetly made his way towards me. I got out of my seat and met him half way with a small smile.
"Saaaaakuraaa!" He grinned and took my hand, holding it tightly. I couldn't blush, nor did I want to, because his breath smelled too much like alcohol. "Caan we talk somewhere (hic) priiivate?" he said, his words slightly slurred.
My female intuition was telling me not to go anywhere secluded with a drunken nineteen-year-old, but my impulsive side was telling me to go with him even if he wasn't in his right mind.
My impulsive side shoved my female intuition aside and gave me two thumbs up as I sighed and followed Idate to wherever he was taking me. I noticed that his foot work was way off and he was practically walking zigzags, even though there was no one here but us.
We ended up outside, near the back of the hall. The music was pounding loudly though the walls and a few cheers could be heard from some of the students. It was almost 8:00 by now, and the sky above us was filled with stars. There were a few lamps illuminating the back porch, which overlooked a beautiful field that was supposed to be a golf course.
Idate sat me down on one of the marble benches on the grass, my hands still in his. He smiled goofily at me and I smiled nervously back. My female intuition was screaming for me to knock the bastard out and run for it. I sighed and tried to pull my hands back. "Idate-san, I—" I tried to say, but I was cut off.
He slammed his open mouth on mine.
My eyes widened tenfold and I gasped as his tongue darted out of his mouth and into mine. Eew he tastes like alcohol! Inner-Me spat.
I didn't even want to kiss him! For one thing, he was a horrible kisser (coming from the experience I have). He angled his mouth in and out of mine messily as he forced my tongue out of my mouth. I shut my eyes tightly and wedged my hands between us. Finally gathering the strength, I pushed him off me, ripping the kiss apart.
Immediately, his mouth traveled to my neck, licking wherever he could. I yelped and shuffled away from him. "Wh-What are you doing?" I managed to say as he advanced towards me again.
"Trying ta kissss my giiiiiiirlfriend," he said still slurring his words, "Iz dat a criiime?"
"Y-You're not in your right mind, Idate," I said as my female intuition pushed my impulsive side into a wall. "W-We shouldn't be doing this…"
"Nnnooo," he said, putting his hands on my laps very, very close to my privates, "I wanna do you nnnoowww!"
HOLY CRAP, HE'S GONNA RAPE US!
"S-Stop it, Idate," I stammered, trying to move away from the bench, "J-Just stop it!" My voice squeaked an octave.
"Come on baby," he said in what was supposed to be a husky tone, "I know you'll like it…"
Before I could move, let alone scream, he pinned me down on the grass and crashed his mouth on mine again. His tongue stifled back my scream as I tried to move from under him. My heart was pounding wildly in my chest; not from excitement, but fear.
I felt his hands search for a zipper on my back, and when he found it on the side, slid it all the way down roughly, trying to pull it off.
I tried pounding on his chest and kicking his legs off me, but he pinned my limbs down tightly with his as he advanced to lick my neck. I felt dirty, and disgusted. As soon as his mouth left mine, I tried to scream, but my voice was hoarse and only let out a loud and pained groan.
His hand covered my mouth roughly as I continued to try and fight him off. I shut my eyes tightly and tried to knee him where it really hurts. The hell I let this bastard get so close to me!
I was scared though, so scared. If I got out of this unharmed, it would be a freaking miracle.
I need a miracle…
Suddenly, Idate's form was ripped from me and thrown a few feet away, landing with a muffled, "Oof."
The first think I thought was that I was really, really strong.
"Are you okay?" But when I heard that voice, I knew I thought wrong.
"Sa-Sakura-chan!" another voice called out, and I felt warm arms circle around me and a few tears fall on my bare back. "Thank Kami-sama you're alright!"
"And that's for touching her, you sick pervert!!" I heard yet another familiar voice yell angrily as a sickening thud of someone's foot going into someone else's gut sounded.
"And this is for making her trust you!" another voice, probably next to each other, yelled.
"Hey, guys, I think he got the point!" a female voice said sternly.
I opened my eyes and saw that the person latched on me was Hinata-chan, Naruto and Sai were kicking Idate's gut repeatedly a few feet away from us, Tenten was trying to restrain them, Itachi and the rest of his friends were rushing out of the building towards us, and Sasuke was on the bench above me with a grave expression on his face.
…Wow, all this happened in a matter of, what, three seconds?
"Did he do anything to you? Are you hurt? Oh my, your dress is half off!" Hinata-chan was saying as she inspected me like she was my mother. I smiled softly at her and wiped incoming tears from my eyes, "I-I'm fine, Hinata-chan," I said as she fumbled to pull in my side zipper back up. She stood up and wiped a few tears from her own eyes and helped me up.
'I-I told you he was no good…" she said, sniffing while fixing my dress, "D-Do you know how worried I was when I didn't see you at the table??" Then, with a sob, she tackled me in a hug again, almost causing me to lose my balance.
"Sakura-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" I looked up just in time to see Naruto charging at me, and side stepped so he'd charge into one of the pillars instead.
"G-Glad…you're…okay…," he said quietly before he fell back on the floor. I rolled my eyes and laughed a bit as I let go of Hinata-chan. "Arigato, Naruto," I said with a smile. She giggled a bit, wiping the tears from her eyes and rushed over to her boyfriend to tend to his 'wounds'.
"You gave us a scare, Sakura-san," Sai said as he and Tenten approached me.
"Pssh…I never liked him in the first place…" Tenten said, crossing her arms under her chest. Then she looked back at me with a grin, "Just as long as he didn't hurt you, then I'll restrain myself from beating the crap out of him."
I laughed, "Thanks anyways, Tenten-san," I said.
As they went over to talk back to Sasuke, Naruto pulled me aside (literally) with him and Hinata-chan. "Aren't you going to talk to him?" he said quietly, gesturing towards Sasuke, "I mean, he did kick Idate in the gut and called all of us out here to come help." My eyes widened, "Hontoni?" I asked. The both of them nodded.
"Oi, is everything alright over there, yeah?" I turned around and saw a half-conscious Idate held up by Sasori and Deidara, with Itachi by their side. I smiled a bit as they made their way towards us. "Are you alright, Sakura-san?" Itachi asked, as expressionless as his brother.
I nodded a bit and looked at Idate. There was a bit of blood coming from the corner of his mouth (probably because of Sai and Naruto) and his suit was disheveled and grass stained. "Sorry about him," Deidara said, scratching the back of his head nervously, "He's not usually like this, yeah…"
"It's alright," I said, giving Idate a disgusted look and turning to Deidara with a smile, "I was going to dump him anyways." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sasori and Itachi simultaneously raise an eyebrow at this, but ignored them.
Deidara gave me a (kind of nervous) smile and dragged Idate along with him and Sasori, probably to the limo. I saw Itachi say something lowly to Sasuke before he followed suit, giving me a curt nod before he went.
"Anou, Sakura-chan," Hinata-chan said with a weird smile on her face, "N-Naruto-kun is thirsty, so we're going to get him something to drink inside, ne?" Before I could respond, she started back to the hall, pulling Naruto along with her. "I'm not thirsty!" I heard Naruto say. "Yes you are!" Hinata-chan said rather roughly and I giggled.
"Y-Yeah, and, um, we have to go to!" Tenten said, grabbing Sai by the arm and dragging him after them. "Where?" Sai asked. "Just shut up and follow my instructions," Tenten said dangerously, shutting Sai up. I smiled and waved after them, "Arigato, guys!" I called.
"Oh, what, I don't get a thank you?"
I turned around and saw Sasuke standing there, arms crossed and a smirk on his face. "I mean, I think I deserve at least something," he said.
"YOU want a thank you?" I suddenly yelled, not knowing where all this courage was suddenly coming from as I pointed to him accusingly, "Why the hell should YOU get just a thank you?! I mean, you only saved my life twice, picked me up and dropped me off from school about five times, saved me from getting pneumonia a few times, make me dump my ass of a boyfriend, and all you want a thank you??"
I was inches away from him as I finished my weird outburst and still pointing to him and his clearly surprised expression.
Then, I smirked and pulled his head down by his tie so our faces were centimeters apart. His eyes widened and I could vaguely see a blush on his cheeks. "You'd better ask for more than just a thank you, Uchiha," I whispered in his face hotly, "'Cause you're not getting just one."
And with that, I let go of him and followed Hinata-chan and Naruto back inside.
Even though I just almost got raped (again), I was feeling much better than I did before.
A/N: MUWAHAHAHAA!! I AM SOO EVIL! I was going to make Sakura kiss Sasuke at the last part, but then I was like, "Naah, they (the reviewers) might try and murder me or something…" :P Aww I really wanted to kill Idate here, but, I guess being kicked by Sasuke, Naruto, and a bunch of other people and dumped by his girlfriend is enough (for now). :D It was fun writing about a drunken Idate, though. And, and, and! This chapter is dedicated to DEIDARA! (We all mourn this horrible, horrible loss to the Naruto series…) I LOVE YOU DEIDARA!! X3
Anyways, here's the chapter preview!
Chapter Fifteen: Tell, kick ass, and dance to the beat!
"Are you saying that last night meant nothing to you?!" – Haruno Sakura.
o0o drama… (Oh, and, that's in Sasuke's POV…)
REVIEW OR ELSE I'LL SEND A HUNGRY CHOUJI ON YOU!! (He shall EAT YOU under my command!!) … (Well…if you don't review, that is…)
PLEASE REVIEW!!
