CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
- By the Sea -
Karin and Suigetsu had fallen asleep on the couch together after dinner, Karin with her head on Sui's shoulder and he with his arm around her. It was a heart melting sight, in my eyes, and I couldn't resist but take a photograph of the two of them to upload onto my computer later. Sasuke stood up silently, switched the television off while I covered the two in the white duvet from their room and then tiptoed out of the living area which included the kitchen and lounge.
"Right." I breathed as I shut the door to our room, "I need a shower."
"It's half past twelve?" Sasuke said, questioningly.
"I don't care, I smell." I informed him seriously. "Give me ten minutes." And with that, I whipped my pyjamas (grey shorts and yellow tank top, of course!) as well as toothbrush and a towel and all of my hair stuff and... and the list continues. I then skipped into the bathroom, loving the way it still smelled slightly minty from when Sasuke had been in there.
Okay, now I just had to figure out how the actual shower worked. It wasn't like the ones in Sasuke and my own homes, where you just turn the dial and it's automatically warm, it was one of those old ones with seven million different settings.
"Please don't tell me that you're staring at the shower dials..." Sasuke's voice drawled from the door. I whipped around to see him standing in the doorway. He'd changed again, this time into red and black pyjama pants and... and that was it. After gawking at him for a moment in all of his perfection of lean, toned muscles and smooth skin, I straightened,
"Sasuke!" I hissed, "I could be naked right now!" He snorted and swept past me, reaching over to show me how it worked.
"You twist this one and it turns on. You twist this one and it gets hotter. Move this one if you want it colder. Got it?" He said, referring to the tap-like twisty things. Black, red, and blue.
"Oh, duh! I could have worked that out. Given time."
"Yeah, the whole ten minutes..."
"Quiet, you." I said, leading him out of the small bathroom space and closing the door in his face with a 'thank you!' before locking it this time. God knows why I didn't lock it the first time. Silly me.
"Feel better?" Sasuke asked when I walked out of the bathroom, towel drying my hair.
"No! Don't look at me! My face is still naked!" I cried, shielding my head from him with the fluffy white towel I had been using on my hair and feeling my way around the room. That was when I felt his strong arms encircle me and pull me backwards onto his bare chest.
"You wear too much makeup..." He said quietly. I sighed a little, relaxing in his grip. Isn't that what every girl wants to hear from their boyfriend? That they can be comfortable with bed hair, in sweats and a hoodie, without any makeup on? And, though that hadn't been exactly what he'd said, it still gave me that choking feeling in my throat. Lack of air, or something.
"You're so stupid." I mumbled, playing with his fingers.
"Hn, you can't take a compliment."
"You... suck."
"Mature, Kari." He said, I could practically hear him rolling his eyes. Amused, I giggled, turning my neck to join my smiling lips with his for a moment, and then pulled away. He let out a disappointed sigh and slid over while I dropped my things back into my bag and switched the light off and slipped underneath the blanket next to him.
It wasn't dark, since the moon's light was flooding in from the large window beside Sasuke, and I could make out his sharp features in the dimness; his perfectly flawless, pale skin and soft, messily spiked up hair. The way his thick, dark eyelashes would almost brush against his cheeks when he blinked. I grinned sheepishly when his eyes focussed in on me.
"...Creep."
"I'm allowed to, you're hot." I mimicked his earlier words.
"Hm," Smirk. I really liked that smirk, the one when his teeth showed and it almost looked like smile. I liked it even more when he smiled. He'd get this little dimple to show in his left cheek. "Okay, no, seriously, is there something on my face?" How embarrassing. I would have to get control of my staring habits.
"No, sweetie, I was just thinking." I said, leaning my cheek on my arm and closing my eyes. Beside me, Sasuke muttered out a 'whatever'.
Sleep came quicker than the two of us had anticipated.
Sasuke's POV.
Sasuke was almost disappointed when he heard Kari's way-too-happy voice calling him from the realm of dark warmth. "Wake up, Sasuke!"
He growled and rolled over, burying his head underneath the duvet and attempting to shut out the light that was burning through his eyelids. Last time he checked, Kari wasn't a morning person, what changed? "I don't wanna..."
"You have to, we're hitting the beach!"
"Five more minutes..." He groaned.
"Don't think I won't sit on you..."
"I don't care." He sighed, the duvet was ripped from his body and a new weight landed on top of him. "Oof!" He refused to open his eyes and wriggled away from the tiny hands poking at him, until he started chuckling.
"Sasuke Uchiha, are you ticklish?" Kari asked him, stopping momentarily and staring at him, bewildered. When he didn't answer, she simply jabbed him in the ribs. Sasuke's eyes snapped open immediately and he grabbed a hold of her wrists with a determined smirk. She struggled, laughing when she finally got free. "I knew that'd wake you up!"
"Can you get me some coffee, please?"
"Since you asked so nicely..." The brunette smiled and slid off of him, flouncing off down the hall.
Sasuke lay still for five seconds before sitting up and walking sleepily into the bathroom. He stared stupidly at his reflection in the mirror, trying to flatten his sleep mused hair. Why in the name of God did he have such strange hair?
He was surprised at how well he and Kari were getting along. They were usually ready to claw each other's eyes out, despite being attracted to one another. Sort of.
"Whatever..." He breathed out, coating the dark blue toothbrush he was holding in toothpaste and stuffing it in his mouth.
Karin and Suigetsu were already up, cleaned, and dressed. Karin was busy at the stove and pushed a mug towards me.
"Sasuke's." She said, "I figured that's his only reason for waking up."
"Oh, no, I attacked him." I explained. Karin raised an eyebrow. I shrugged and made my way back down the hall to the blue room.
Sasuke, probably hearing me in the bedroom, walked backwards slowly, eyeing me. It was the cutest thing I'd ever seen: the messy hair; the raised eyebrow; the shirtlessnes; and, of course, the random toothbrush sticking out of the side of his mouth. We just stared at each other before Sasuke retreated from the doorway, returning a moment later and taking the mug of coffee from me and sipping it as if it would keep him alive.
Well, it would keep him awake, at least. Setting down on the bedside table, he reached under his pillow for his phone, checked the time and fixed me with a small glare.
"What's wrong with you?"
I giggled, guiltily. "Ehee..."
"It's not even ten yet." He growled, looking longingly back at his pillow. I raised my hands in defence.
"I was woken up by Karin and Sui, actually." I said, "And you can't blame me for being excited."
At this, Sasuke snorted, "Fair, but you owe me."
"I don't mind." I said walking out grinning, leaving Sasuke to get ready.
Karin and Suigetsu were sitting on the couch, almost matching. Sui in his grey board shorts and Karin in her black denim ones, both of them wearing loose purple t-shirts and stuffing towels into one of the bags that the redhead had brought with her. I was wearing my own white denim shorts and a dark blue tank top.
I have a lot of tank tops...
"Are we meeting Juugo?" I asked the room, Suigetsu nodded.
"Yep."
"And Temari," Karin added, "I can't wait to meet her, I mean, I only saw her at Sui's party, and I've only ever spoken to her twice, and that was on IM."
"She's kind of like you, in that... sassy-bitch kinda way."
"Well thanks for that, dearest— Sasuke, nice of you to join us."
"Hn." Came the reply from the doorway. I turned to see Sasuke wearing a light grey polo t-shirt, surprised to see the small red and white fan symbolising the Uchiha family's clothing brand sewn into the left side of the front of his shirt. He also wore a pair of white shorts. I realized that this was the first time I'd seen him in anything other than his skinnies or pyjamas.
Actually, I guess it was the pyjamas that were the first time, but whatever. He probably only wore those for decency. No doubt that at home he's comfortable to walk around in his boxers.
Blush.
"You want food?" Karin asked distractedly handing him a tomato. Sasuke took it with a grateful nod. "Both of you," She addressed us, "go get whatever you want to take to the beach. Sun screen, towels, whatever."
"It wouldn't matter if we forgot anything, Karin, quit nagging." Sui told her. I moved to the French windows that lead out of the house and looked over the stretch of road towards the beautiful, bright blue hues of the ocean beyond us. The white sand was mostly covered by colourful tourists and all of their gear.
It was true, what Suigetsu had said. If we were to forget anything, it wouldn't be more than a trip across the road and into the house.
I stood up and skipped back to mine and Sasuke's room, gathering the things I thought I might need. I was already wearing the blue bikini that I had bought with Karin underneath my clothes for a quicker change. I then stuffed them all, along with my phone, into the dark and light blue, striped, linen bag that I had brought with me for just this occasion. I then turned around and happened to slam straight into Sasuke. Face-chest. Nice.
"Watch out," He said, a hand on my shoulder as he sidestepped me and passed into the room through the narrow doorway. I glanced back at him for a moment and then continued on my way.
The heat was absolutely suffocating as the four of us stepped outside. It was even hotter than yesterday in the cars. I looked at my pale skinned friends and laughed to myself. They were going to be complaining more than anything at the end of the day. No matter how much sunscreen anybody put on, the Suna sun would beat down and suck out any moisture and scorch it.
Not that I wanted anything bad to happen to my dearest friends.
The sunglasses that Sasuke had given me were sitting on top of my head, and I pulled them down and looked at him. Gosh, he was cute. He was wearing his own shades on top of his head, walking casually with his hands in his pockets, head down. Suigetsu was talking to him about something or other, and I could hear the Uchiha grunting occasionally. Karin and I were walking behind them, the redhead was commenting on how much she loved the houses here.
"They're so... big!"
Sasuke and Sui both turned, eyebrows raised and playful smirks on their lips, "That's what she said," Sui called over. I rolled my eyes and jogged after Karin as she ran quickly up behind her boyfriend to punch him in the arm.
"That wasn't what I meant, silly..." She whined. He chuckled and leant down to kiss her. Sasuke and I both averted our eyes and awkwardly ended up with our eyes locked. Then we swiftly turned and directed our gazes towards the tarmac road that we were walking across. I noticed fondly the little gains of sand that the wind had brought onto it.
"Awkward turtle..." I mumbled. Sasuke snorted slightly.
"We're creating an army of them." He joked. I smiled and looked around for something to talk about.
"Look how many people there are!"
"That wouldn't have been the first thing to escape my notice." He said, bluntly. I hummed lightly.
"Fair point," I said, Sasuke nodded in agreement. "Are you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know, you're usually bullying me by the time we abandon Sui and Karin."
"...True," He replied, smirking. I laughed lightly, then taking the opportunity to link my arm through his, just the way his mindless fangirls tried to do at school.
Only, he let me do it.
"Is that Juugo?" Sui asked behind us, Sasuke and I shot our eyes in the direction of the towering, tanned man jogging up the beach and waving a huge hand in our direction. A few heads turned, following his enormous form, and many eyes immediately found his targets. And most of those eyes latched onto the teenager standing beside me. I made sure to stand closer to Sasuke as the four of us made our way towards the taller male.
"You get in alright?" He asked, Karin nodded.
"We got in fine! The apartment is fantastic!" She said enthusiastically. Sasuke smirked and nodded in greeting, Juugo just nodded back. Neither the two were very talkative, and so a nod was generally acceptable between the two of them. I unclipped myself from Sasuke and went over to place an arm around the big guy's shoulders.
"How are you? Is Temari with you?" I asked, drawing back from the hug and looking over the crowds for... her.
Huh? How was that going to work? The beach was absolutely crowded. It would have been like searching for a needle in a haystack. And I have no doubt that that is a very difficult task.
"I'm fine, and yes, Temari is with me. Her brothers, too."
"Her brothers? Aw, really?" I asked, excitedly. I hadn't seen either of them in longer than I hadn't seen Temari. I kind of missed them...
"Mm, come, I'll take you to them." He replied, a small smile on his face. I followed him eagerly, Sasuke, Karin, and Juugo trailing after the pair of us.
It wasn't long until we reached them. The two pale Subaku brothers lying in the sun, and the dirty blonde with her hair in the usual four, messy bunches stood up and bounced towards us.
"Kari!" She said, dropping her usually cool exterior to hug me. I squeezed her back, a huge grin splitting across my face.
"So good to see you!" I squealed, then remembered the three behind me. "Oh, this is Karin," I told her, pushing my redheaded friend forward.
"Hey, nice to meet you, face to face." Temari said, smirking. Karin smirked back and stuck out her hand.
"You too." The glasses wearing teen said, shaking her hand. Then she pulled her close and hugged her, and all the tension that might have been between them (I wouldn't know, I don't do tension. Unless it's with Sasuke) disappeared.
"This is Sui, well, Suigetsu, but we call him Sui, because... we can..." I babbled, Temari nodded in his direction, "He's also Karin's boyfriend."
"Pleasure to meet you, Temari." He said, suavely. She tipped her chin up, hand on her hip.
"And you, Sui."
"You've... you've met Sasuke..." I said, smirking at his indignant huff.
"I have, but I don't believe he was aware of the two of us meeting. A little bit smashed, weren't we, Sasuke? Did some incredibly stupid things that night. Giving me your phone, making out with a skank whilst dating my best friend... You better treat her right, boy."
"Hm, some of the things I did were completely unintentional." He replied, lip curling deviously. She shook her head, amused.
"Temari." She said.
"Sasuke." He replied. The two smirked and silently agreed that they'd never speak of that particular incident again. I was glad, they all seemed to like each other.
"Oh, is it my turn for introductions?" She asked, her two brothers finally standing up, joining the group. I smiled widely at them.
"Gaara, sweetie, how are you?" I asked the redhead. He glanced up at me from behind thick, black eyeliner.
"I've been well..." He said, voice dark. I continued to grin, that was what he was always like. I hugged him briefly, and was surprised to feel one of his hands wrap around my waist in response. Gaara never hugged. It wasn't his thing...
"Kankuro! ...Hi." I said, a little more awkwardly and hugging him around the neck. He, being the more relaxed of the Subaku siblings, squeezed me back. Temari and the others stood patiently, Sasuke and the blonde well aware of my currently shaky relationship with the older of the two brothers. I didn't really know how he was feeling.
After I had rudely broken up with him, Kankuro and I hadn't spoken much at all. It was difficult to know what he was thinking, how he was feeling.
It reminded me a lot of someone else I knew. Someone with soft, spiky, dark hair, and seemingly bottomless black eyes, and a reallyreallyreally cute smile. I moved back to my favourite unreadable little ice-cube and waited for Temari to speak.
"These are my brothers," She said, "Gaara, and Kankuro. Kankuro, Gaara, this is Karin, Sui, and Sasuke."
"Hey!" Karin greeted, Sasuke mimicked Temari's previous tipping of the chin. Suigetsu raised a hand, a friendly 'what's up?' following.
We talked for a bit before the boys decided they wanted to take to the beach. Whipping off their shirts, they all started to walk away until Karin, Temari, and myself all screamed their names.
"Suigetsu!"
"Sasuke!"
"Gaara, Kankuro, Juugo!"
"...What?" They all called back. I raised a finger and beckoned them over, a bottle of sunscreen in my other hand and a frown on my face. They all groaned like children and trudged over the sand back towards us, Sasuke grabbed the bottle out of my hand and walked past me, murmuring something about sounding like his mother.
And that sort of got me, ya know? Because Sasuke's mother was dead. He also seemed to realize what he'd said and hesitated in his steps for a split second, then continued to make his way back towards our things. He dropped down in the sand and began spraying the cream over his skin and rubbing it.
"I'll do your back, if you like," I said, kneeling down next to him.
"Hn."
"Yes?"
"Hn..."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means what it means, hn."
"Whatever you say, sweetie." I grinned, taking the bottle from him and pressing on the nozzle so that the cream sprayed onto his pale shoulders. "Damn, it must be a bitch to have such fair skin." I commented, massaging the sun defence in.
"Yeah," He agreed, there was silence for a while, and then he spoke. "Question."
"What is it?"
Sasuke lowered his voice, "Why has that one kid got a Kanji tattoo on his forehead?"
"Why has Kiba got those fangs tattooed on his cheeks?" I retorted, "I don't know." I said softly. Sasuke shrugged. It was worth a shot.
Finally, the boys got to their feet again and pelted down the beach towards the water. We weren't far from it, and could make out our boys easily due to Juugo's extremely tall, tan figure in his black shorts and Suigetsu's bright, white hair.
"Uh, excuse me?" A timid voice said, a girl of about our age approached Temari, Karin and myself, sunbathing. I looked up at her, she was with two friends.
"Are you alright?" I asked. The girl nodded, pressing her hands together.
"We couldn't help but notice that you were with those guys over there, and—"
"Forget it," Temari said shortly, "The one with the dark hair is taken."
One of the girls groaned, "He is?"
"I'm afraid so." The sassy blonde told her, I looked away, almost shamefully. The girls had been polite, friendly. Not like Ami and her cronies back in Konoha. Those bitches...
"Oh, well, thanks for telling us. It might have been embarrassing if we'd..." She trailed off and giggled nervously, "We'll be going now. Bye!"
"See ya." Temari replied, the girls thanked her again before shooting off down the beach. Temari smirked, "You haven't even been in Suna a full day and you've already got girls after your boys." She chuckled.
Karin sat up in her bright red bikini and leant on her elbow, "I don't think they would have given Sui a second look if they saw what Sasuke was wearing. I'm not being funny, but he looks hot in those shorts."
"He's very attractive," Temari agreed.
"Excuse me, you two... I do believe the pair of you are going out with his best friends at this current moment in time." I told them, giggling.
"...Eh." They shrugged.
"Suigetsu doesn't mind me saying other guys are hot." The redhead announced.
Temari nodded sagely, "And if Juugo does, he's too polite to say anything."
"Awwhh... how cute is that? Your boyfriends trust you enough with other guys."
My blonde friend raised an eyebrow, "Sasuke doesn't trust you?" She questioned.
After a thoughtful pause, I shrugged, "I don't know... he knows I went out with Kankuro. Oh, wait. Karin, you didn't know that. I went out with Kankuro, and it ended badly with me breaking up with him and him still liking me," I drawled, as if the subject was boring. Temari pursed her lips. She had always frowned upon the way I had dumped her darling older brother. "And earlier, when I hugged him, Sasuke was all like... glare..."
"I saw that!" The redhead exclaimed.
"Possessive Sasuke... rawr." Temari said quietly, causing Karin and I to laugh loudly.
Sasuke's POV.
The bright blue ocean water was cool against his quickly warming skin. Sasuke, Suigetsu, Juugo, and the two brothers had been doing some male bonding for the best part of ten minutes now, and Sasuke was finding that he disliked the two Subaku siblings intensely.
The redheaded one seemed to have fixed him with a distrusting gaze and appeared to observe him delicately. He also had a new tendency to call him, 'Uchiha,' instead of Sasuke. And Sasuke couldn't remember telling him his second name. He didn't recall Temari introducing him as 'Sasuke Uchiha,' and Kari hadn't used his last name at any point in meeting with the Subaku family.
There was also that other guy, Kankuro, the one that Kari had gone out with before him. Sasuke felt it was only natural for him to distrust the heavily built brunette, since Kari had mentioned that he may or may not still have feelings for her.
On one hand, they had broken up on bad terms, but on the other hand, she was cute and funny and friendly. What wasn't there to like? Ignoring all the bad things, like how she would honestly state things without a second thought, or how she seemed to know when and why he was feeling down and usually urged him to talk about it. That was the most annoying thing about her. She wouldn't let things go like a normal person.
But, he supposed, that was what he liked the most about her.
Suigetsu punched the white, loosely aired ball into the air towards Sasuke. It was a game of volleyball or something similar whilst messing around in the sea. It was dull, Sasuke would much more have preferred the girls to join in, but noooo... they had to work on their tans.
Psh. Females.
"Sui, you're with the redhead, right?" Kankuro asked casually as his fist connected with the ball. Sasuke pushed through the water to get closer to the conversation, suddenly extremely interested in as to why the brunette was so interested. Suigetsu took notice of his best friend's curious, calculating gaze.
"Yeah, that's right. Her name's Karin." He said, tone light. But, of course, he was suspicious. He didn't know these people and they were asking about his girlfriend. Karin wouldn't have noticed it, but Sui would take a bullet for that girl. Despite her smarts, she wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. Sasuke inwardly smirked at this thought, Karin would have punched him for it.
"She seems cool. Red eyes?"
"Her mom's," Sui replied, "though don't mention her parents, she's a Care kid."
"Right, right..." Kankuro trailed off, hitting the ball in Sasuke's direction again, "And you're with Kari, right?"
"...Correct." Sasuke answered. He didn't bother to hide the cold, blunt suspicion in his voice.
"Yeah, she's a nice kid." Kankuro said casually.
"I agree. But listen, I know you and her went out at one point." Sasuke genuinely tilted his head in the way that he did when he was confused, "You don't still like her, do you?"
"No, man," Kankuro laughed easily, "but Gaara does."
"Kankuro!" The redhead shot an almost horrified glare at his older brother, who chuckled at him and waved a dismissive hand.
"Uchiha,"
"Hn?"
"It's not true."
"...It better not be." Sasuke muttered to himself, and then came to the realization that he was acting... jealously? Was that for real? Sasuke Uchiha... jealous over a girl he'd only come to realize that he actually liked in the past two weeks. Shocked by this revelation, he nearly missed the ball that came at him from Suigetsu. "I'm going back to the girls." Sasuke announced, "Thirsty." He explained, walking out of the water and across the sand, his eyes focussed on the three girls ahead of him.
That was before his vision was invaded by a certain somebody with a violet, straight cut bob, and huge brown eyes in a blindingly white two piece. She threw her arms around him excitedly.
"Sasuke! I didn't know you were going to be in Suna this week! What a coincidence!" The girl squealed, Sasuke closed his eyes tightly and resisted the urge to sigh or make some rude comment, which was exactly what his brain was insisting he should do.
"Ami," He bit out once she had retracted herself from his toned body.
"Aren't you happy to see me?" She asked, a slight frown forming on her features.
"Hn." Not particularly.
"I'm here with friends, you know them, they came to one of my parties. You know, Rikku, Kureaa, Natarii. We're staying at one of the Natarii's, though, her house is the biggest. Who are you staying with?"
"Karin and... Suigetsu and Kari."
"Oh, really? Kari?" The girl's bright smile faltered, "Well, Sasuke, you have got to get yourself over on Friday. Nat's having a party, one of the biggest in Suna, besides the Subaku's, but they don't really throw many anymore, apparently. All of the high school kids come, you'd have a chance to check out any competition before the tournament. Kari too, she'll probably be forced onto the team by that Naruto kid..." The girl said, bitterly.
"Sounds... interesting. Where at?" He asked, seriously considering Ami's offer, even though Kari and her went together like oil and water. The brown eyed girl looked ecstatic and pointed to a large, grey building close, but not too close, to the beach-side apartment in which he and his friends were staying. The house looked about the same size as Kari's, from a distance, and Sasuke brought his thoughts back to the girl watching their exchange curiously barely one minute's walk from him.
"Doors open at seven, perhaps you and I can finish what we started last time." She whispered, blushing. Sasuke felt his eyes narrow.
"Don't be too confident in that idea." He breathed, "Thanks for the invite. We'll all be there." He told her, leaving her feeling slightly deflated in the middle of the crowds.
Sasuke caught my gaze for a second and then finished his talk with the girl in the white bikini and continued walking towards Temari, Karin, and myself. He flicked his hair out of his eyes as I stood up to go and speak to him, unable to contain my curiosity. Sasuke usually ignored girls. He usually tried to be polite, since he had to keep up his family's image, but generally either had Suigetsu, Juugo, Karin, or myself to scare the fangirls off of him. Or something like that.
"Who was that?" I asked, curiously, meeting him halfway. He had already caught some sun, it was alarming how quickly his skin had gone from its usual creamy white to bearing a slightly golden tint. "Oh, look at that, you're tanning!"
"I am?" He glanced at his arms, seeming pleased with this. "Oh, and that was Ami." I froze for a second.
"Ami?"
"Mm."
"Ami who wants to cut me?"
"Mm."
"Ami who wants to rape you?"
"Mm."
"What's she doing here?" I hissed, Sasuke shrugged.
"Summer holiday?" He replied, unsurely. I rolled my eyes. "She's staying with friends. They're having a party, I said we'd go."
"Why on earth would you say that?"
"Chill out, Kari, it's just a party. And I said we would... because..." He seemed to be searching for a decent reason, "...because I can..."
His unsure tone cracked me up. "Oh, Sasuke, you're so silly, sometimes," I said, grabbing his hand and dragging him back to the girls. "You want something? A drink? Sunblock?"
"Nah, I just wanted to talk to you." He told me as we sat down on our sand covered towels. Karin and Temari sat up immediately, mumbling something about ice cream and skidaddaling before I even had the chance to reply to him.
"Well, they left rather quickly."
"Hn."
"What did you want, sweetie?"
"I spoke to Temari's brothers. I don't like them."
"Oh, please, you sound like a four year old. I told you that you wouldn't like them." Sasuke seemed to bite his lip at this, I snorted (very ladylike, I'm sure.), "Sasuke? Are you... worried I'm going to go off with those two, or something?"
Sasuke didn't smirk or snort at this, he raised his head and looked at me very seriously. "I don't think you'd do that, but I want you to promise that you won't spaz out at me if I... do something stupid."
I stared back into his dark, dark, eyes and reached up to press the tip of my pointer finger against his nose, then my middle digit and my thumb pulled caught onto his chin and I pulled him down to my level, "You're my boyfriend," I breathed, "I care about you more than I do those two. But Sasuke, if you hurt them, I will be forced to break your nose,"
He smirked, "I can deal with that," He whispered back and closed the gap between us. One of each of our hands supported us on the sandy towels; his other hand curled itself around the bare, tanned skin of my waist while my own lightly balanced itself on his chest. Our lips moved together softly, heads occasionally twisting. And then I felt something probing at the seam of my mouth and realized faintly that it was Sasuke's tongue. I quickly parted my lips and kissed him back straight away, my hand slipping around the back of his neck and playing with the shorted spikes of his dark, slightly damp hair.
"My, my, you two, talk about PDA." Came Suigetsu's sneering voice from somewhere nearby. I moved backwards, alarmed, while Sasuke let out a small groan of annoyance.
"You can talk, Sui." I told him, "With all of the things you and Karin do, I'm surprised neither of you have been arrested." The younger Hozuki brother just laughed.
I glanced back at Sasuke and smiled, unable to stop it. He shot back a small grin. No smirk, but a grin. Perfect teeth lined up and dimple appearing in his cheek. But as soon as it had come, it was gone as he reached into Karin's bag, searching for his phone and lying down to read his e-mails. I dropped in next to him and slipped my shades off of the top of my head so that I could sunbathe again without the worry of other girls making him their prey.
After all, I had totally just made out with him in front of the whole beach. Smirk.
Thank you for reading! Woooo! This was longer! ...Kind of, right? It's, like, fifteen pages worth on Microsoft Word.
Hey, you guys, guess what? ...It's three minutes to six in the morning. I've been up and typing this all night. I'm still not tired. Hooray for Coca-Cola!
I know, I'm so health oriented. I drink a glass of caffeine before attempting to sleep. Note sarcastic drawl to the health part. You know what? I'm just going to forget about it for now. Sleep is for the daytime. Interwebz is for teh night time. :3
I hope you all enjoyed the SasukexKari action in there, I'm progressing it, I swear. There were also a few foreshadowing phrases in there, did you spot any?
I realized something. My last chapter was... it was just like a filler episode. My sister came to me and was like, "...Dude, nothing happened." And I was like, "I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW. GIVE ME YOUR COMPUTER SO I CAN MAKE IT RIGHT AGAIN." And so she did, which is why I am posting this now.
Anywho, thanks for all the wonderful, positive feedback! I don't think I've had one bad review yet! All of you are so kind. Thank you, majorly. The reviews I've got honestly make the biggest smile crack onto my face, they're so funny! Thanks, everyone!
Review, please!
