Sakura Seasons

Chapter 21 (WTF?! I'm already here?!)
Escape
The next day at 6 am in the morning, a long blonde haired girl was lurking around her room and revising the schedule.
"This should spice up their relationships!" Ino finished off, clapping.
"I don't know how you got Kakashi-sensei to agree to have the tour thing in pairs." Shikamaru yawned.
"Oh, we just talked and stuff. He accepted in the end anyway." Ino smirked evilly.
"Too troublesome to think about what you did." Shikamaru moaned, burying his head under the covers.
Yesterday…
"Please Kakashi-sensei, have the tours in pairs!" Ino pleaded with puppy eyes.
"Well I'm not in charge of this trip so you might as well ask Jiraya-sama." Kakashi said, turning away.
"But I don't want to talk to that old geezer. He's a pervert anyway; he'll start looking under my skirt!" Ino objected before he could leave.
Kakashi sighed and pushed her into the pervert's room. Ino stood in front of the door in Jiraya's room. The old man turned around.
"What do you want?" He asked, trying to be serious but couldn't pull it off.
"Everyone will go in pairs around the country." Ino simply said.
"Well no-"
"Look old man, I've been talking all day and my throat is killing me! Agree or else you won't have a tomorrow." Ino threatened, pulling his collar.
"Wh-whatever you say." He agreed, shaking.
"Good." Ino dropped him and strolled out of the room.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
The gang woke up at 7. Well at least one of them isn't anyway. They stood at the foot of Naruto's bed.
"Naruto, wake up already, it's nearly time to go." Tenten warned, pushing his idiotic friend.
"Five more minutes…" Naruto moaned, turning the other way.
Unfortunately, Ino just came in. She was outraged by the response.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Ino yelled, coming up to the bed.
Naruto just groaned.
Another BIG mistake.
Poor Naruto. I feel sorry for him now.
"GET YOUR LAZY ASS OUT OF THAT FUCKING BED!!!" Ino screamed, somehow she pushed the mattress and flipped it upside down.
Naruto fell off, petrified and now fully awake.
"Good!" Ino chirped, walking back outside.
"Does she?..." Sakura asked.
"Dunno. Maybe she has PMSing." Tenten replied, walking outside.
The rest trailed except for Hinata who helped Naruto get up.
Half an hour later just before leaving, they were pulled into another announcement.
"Ummm, how did we get to this?" Kakashi asked his perverted superior.
"Let the blonde say it. That way she can have better control." Jiraya thought, running over to Ino.
Ino delightedly got in front of the group.
"It's the mad woman! She's followed us here!" Someone who was a maniac screamed hysterically.
Everyone was just about to run and scream when Ino interrupted them.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! AND BE STILL!!!" Ino screeched.
Everyone stopped immediately.
"Read the letter. Get one and pass it on." Ino ordered, passing three piles of paper to three random students.
They did as they were told to do or they'll be beaten to a bloody pulp or worse.
Sakura read the letter which led her to swear.
"What the fuck?!" Sakura quietly cursed to herself.
'Ino's orders:
Everyone will go around the Country of Tea in PAIRS.
If you have a complaint, come to me and I will have something in store for you.
Follow it or else! '
"God damn that woman…" Sasuke and Neji cursed through gritted teeth.
"Why can't we have a break without Ino for once?!" Tenten yelled, frustrated.
"Well not until we get to university or college." Hinata answered, also irritated.
"We'll never be free…" Sayaka stated with her hand on her forehead.
"Troublesome girlfriend you got there buddy." Naruto nudged his friend who was unexpectedly beside him.
"Yeah, troublesome and bothersome." Shikamaru lazily replied.
"Why was the dumb reason you liked her anyway." Sasuke asked, turning his head.
"Too troublesome to remember." He replied back.
"Don't you have anything else in your vocabulary other than 'troublesome' or 'bothersome'?" Sakura asked.
"Too trouble-"
Tenten had scoffed his mouth with some bubblegum tape.
"Shut up. I'm in the time of cursing and sorrow." Tenten angrily remarked.
A light bulb suddenly went off in Tenten's head.
"Naruto, get that damn match away from me!" Tenten yelled, waving her hands.
Naruto moaned and blew off the fire.
"Hey, guys I have an idea." Tenten said, making everyone huddle in a crowd.
Whispers were said and everyone grinned.
"That's a good idea!" Hinata exclaimed as everyone parted.
"Remember the place. Naruto." Tenten shot a death glare at the said blonde.
"I got it, I got it dattebayo." Naruto moaned.
"God, it's been a long time since you said that in like, when you were in the 5th grade." Tenten commented, walking away.
Everyone dispersed and rambled everywhere. The gang went in separate ways but then took a different direction to a castle. They met each other at a grand fountain inside the entrance of the castle.
"Okay let's go!" Tenten yelled, turning.
"Wait, we're missing a couple." Neji stated, grabbing her shoulder.
"You can tell already that he's coming." Sakura frowned.
In the distance you could see a loud blonde and a timid shy girl. Naruto was shouting their names and then looked at their direction. Naruto ran up to the gang. As soon as he got into the area, Sasuke punched Naruto in the head making him groan in pain.
"You're too damn loud dobe! If that demon wench finds us she's gonna beat the living crap out of us!" Sasuke hissed quietly.
Naruto swallowed hard.
"Now shut that pie hole of yours and let's get going!" Tenten half yelled, heading towards inside the castle.
They followed her and wandered off. Thirty minutes later, they were strolling around the hallway and immediately pulled to a sudden halt.
"Shit! It's Ino!" Tenten cursed quietly.
They quickly hid inside a room.
"Why the hell is she here?! I thought she was going to the gardens!" Sakura baffled.
"Don't care about that! We have to get out of here first!" Tenten advised.
They then turned their heads at Naruto who seemed to not pay attention.
Everyone smirked.
"Wha-what's everyone looking at me for?" Naruto asked, petrified.
"I have a bad feeling about this…"
Naruto was pushed forward outside of the room. He stepped on one foot to save himself from falling frontward. He then realised what situation he was in and frantically looked around.
'Holy shit! There's Ino!' Naruto stated in his mind.
Naruto fumbled over to a plant and hid there. Somehow the couple passed by and didn't notice him one bit. He sighed of relief as they turned a corner.
Tenten's head slid out of the door.
"Eh? Ino's gone?" Tenten said surprisingly, looking around twice.
Everyone then led themselves outside and had a look for themselves.
"Now let's get the heck out of here while we still have a chance." Naruto cowardly suggested as he ran hysterically and wobbly to random exits.
The rest trailed him as if it was a hunt. They made it outside safely and ran to another place.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Ten minutes later they ended up at a village fete preparing for tonight's festivities. Hinata looked at the notice board beside her.
"There's a spring festival tonight!" Hinata gleamed at the thought of going there.
"Huh?" Tenten asked with everyone's attention at the notice board.
"Oh cool!" Sayaka remarked after reading the whole flyer.
"Did anyone bring a kimono with them?" Tenten questioned the gang who were hiding the fact that they didn't bring it.
"Well we can't buy kimonos with shops like these."
Everyone still stayed silent.
"Who knows how to make one?" Tenten plastered a sinister grin on her face.
Everyone turned their attention to Sayaka.
"Crap, I shouldn't have gone to that arts and crafts camp." Sayaka moaned, being pulled by Tenten who led her to a fabric store.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"You ready?" Tenten asked outside the door.
"No." Sayaka replied blandly on the other side.
"Oh."
Tenten waited for a few moments again.
"Is it ready now?"
"Say that one more time and I'll never do it."
"Okay, sorry." Tenten put her hands up and walked away.
She walked across the bedroom and sat on her bed.
"How long will it be?" Tenten asked, running out of patience.
"Well it is definitely going to be long for one person to make 8 kimonos." Hinata pointed out.
"You're right…"
Another light bulb flashed into her mind.
"Gah! Naruto, stop putting that damn match over me!" Tenten yelled, even more irritated and waved her hands again.
"Crap, I swear you had an idea then." Naruto whined, blowing out the fire.
"Well yeah I do. Who's the next person who knows how to make one?" Tenten asked, looking at Hinata and Sakura.
"Wha-what? Why me?" Hinata and Sakura both stuttered in unison.
"Okay, I swear I caught both of you in that sewing class a few days ago." Tenten replied.
"Oh yeah, when we were heading to the cafeteria and you said that both of you had to do something and we were passing by that class." Naruto remembered, rubbing the back of his head.
"Busted…" Sakura quietly whispered.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
Sakura and Hinata stepped out of the room and sighed together.
"It's done." Hinata announced wearily.
"What's done?" Ino asked behind her.
'What the hell?!' Both Sakura and Hinata chorused in their minds.
"Tenten, can we speak to you privately please." Hinata asked like a robot.
"Go on ahead!" Ino said, allowing Tenten to go.
The three girls went inside the bathroom.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Sakura half yelled, trying not to be found out.
"She wouldn't let us go anywhere but the bedroom and watch that damn freakin' show!!! I am never gonna watch those two damn puppets again. It was torture!" Tenten explained, nearly going nuts.
"We-well how can we get her out?" Hinata asked desperately.
"Looks like we have to tell her about the festival." Sakura sighed, finding the only solution.
The two others sighed in dismay, guessing it was the only way to get her out. They got out of the bathroom.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"These kimonos are nice Sayaka!" Hinata remarked, holding her hand up.
"I thought this one wouldn't fit you but it fits you perfectly!" Sayaka replied the comment.
"I'm still not believing that Ino actually let us go there alone." Naruto said, spacing out.
"Yeah, just because she said that she had to go somewhere with Shikamaru. Something doesn't fit." Tenten added.
"Yeah, I mean her letting us!" Naruto exclaimed.
"No not that. Something doesn't really fit at my left arm." Tenten corrected.
"Oh sorry!" Sayaka apologised, coming over to Tenten.
"And Naruto, you're right too. Something isn't right…" Tenten coughed suspiciously.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
"Can we really enjoy if everyone's one alert?" Sakura asked, watching half of the gang looking suspiciously.
"Just checking." Tenten said, catching up to the pink haired girl.
"Uhhh, Sayaka, you're hair is turning black." Sakura pointed out to the said girl's hair.
"Wha?" Sayaka looked up.
"The dye must be wearing off." Sai said.
"You dyed your hair?" Tenten asked, forgetting to look out for Ino.
"Well… actually someone spilled dark brown dye on my hair when I was passing a hair dresser." Sayaka explained.
"Oh."
"Look, a ramen stall!" Naruto screamed with joy, pointing at a small area where the aroma of ramen was.
Naruto ran childishly at the place. The boys couldn't help but to just look disgusted, well except for one of them.
"He'll never get over that damn food. Do you think it's worse than curry?" Neji asked.
"Curry? You mean when you ate at that restaurant when you were in 5th grade?" Sasuke asked even more.
"Oh wait a minute, I remember one of our family day outs at 'The Curry of Life'." Hinata said.
"Oh yeah, I remember Hinata telling me something about that last year!" Tenten also remembered.
"They have nice curry there don't they?"
"Yeah, the specialty one was good. Do you remember that cute little kid Ranmaru?"
"Yeah, he was the one helping the restaurant out."
"Okay can we skip this conversation?" Neji quickly begged.
"Whatever, I bet you didn't like that special curry." Naruto said unexpectedly who just came back to ask everyone to come with him.
"When did the dobe get back?" (Obvious who said that.)
"Can we all just shut up about this?!" Neji asked desperately.
"Oh yeah, the owner was a nice person too." Hinata carried on the conversation from before.
"Yeah and she had a son. Ummm, what was his name again?" Tenten replied.
"Remember that one time when they accidentally poured wine to one of the special curries?" Naruto said, changing the subject.
"Guys!" Neji yelled.
"Yeah, that was the one Neji ate!" Hinata pointed out.
"No wonder." Sasuke smirked.
"Shut it Uchiha." Neji stated coldly.
"The special curry was good without the wine." Tenten said.
"Sakura, did you ever hear that restaurant before?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, we went there to celebrate with Kakashi-sensei and Tsunade-sama because we made it to the semi-finals last year." Sakura pointed out.
"Oh yeah."
"Can we skip this conversation?!" Neji madly asked, trying to escape from the word 'curry'.
"Well there's this new curry now." Naruto carried on, ignoring the Hyuuga.
"GUYS!!!"

Chapter 22
At the end of the day, Sakura walked out of the dojo, just finishing her practice.
"See you tomorrow, Sayaka!" Sakura called before they parted.
"See you tomorrow!" Sayaka replied back.
They didn't have a shift at the bakery so all they had to do was go home now. Sakura met up with Sasuke at the edge of the forest.
"Ready?" He asked before turning."
"Wa-wait! I left my Japanese text book in locker!" Sakura yelled, rummaging through her bag.
"Just wait here!" Sakura shouted back after running off a few steps.
"Hurry or I'll come with you!" Sasuke yelled in the distance.
"'Kay!"
Sakura hurriedly ran inside the school building. It took a long time for her to get the text book because she noticed that she left it in class when she got to the locker. She ran down the stairs and headed towards the exit.
Suddenly, hand pulled her to a dark corner.
(Am I evil? Hmmmm… I dunno what else to say here now…)
