Cori: I am SOO Sorry I'm late again.

Itachi: Cori, it's been a month and a day!

Cori: I KNOW

Itachi: o.o

Naruto: Why did it take so long to update?

Cori: I had to get my grades up. Had two F's. Took time off of Fanfiction and got them up to B's. I made honors :D

Sakura: Nice.

Cori: Yup.

(This is very important, you should read it before you read this chapter. If you don't then I will be sad T.T)

As you know, I have a new stories list on my profile. I have added a lot of new ones recently and you guys should seriously check them out. I also have a story called "Corruption" out, and it would be so awesome if you guys took the time to read and review on it. It's about how Sakura lives in a foster family with abusive parents.-- Basically she goes through normal high school life, a lot like how many kids go through. I am keeping Sasuke as OC as possible. So far so good. It's a romance story. People believe that it is also angst, but I like to think of it as romance only. Right now it's rated T, but once the story progresses it will turn into M. But that is my favorite story so far and I really would appreciate it if you guys read it and reviewed on it. My first attempt on a serious story rather than the fooling around I've done so far.

Also, It's sad to say that, unlike my predictions, this story will most likely still be going on throughout the whole month of April. I hadn't expected to get caught up in school work so much. Also, much to my dismay, my laptop is being a douche bag, and it keeps crashing. Luckily, I have vacation in 2 weeks so hopefully I will be able to update my stories and possibly come out with a new one. Maybe, I'm not totally sure yet.

But anyways, I won't bother you with my rambling. Let's get on with the story.

Recap:

"I'll run." She shouted, as she heard him laugh. "Go ahead, I'll catch you anyways." Sakura smirked. "Fine."

She started to run, feeling the cool breeze hit her face fiercely. She hated running, even though she was pretty fast. It was just too tiring for her. She had a bad knee after all. She heard Sasuke behind her and he was gaining fast. She knew for sure that he would catch her. She just didn't want to admit it. The darkness around them was growing darker, swallowing them up like a black hole in the middle of space. The ground underneath her feet was sharp and painful, due to her lack of shoes. She didn't know when, but her eyes started to blur from tears.

Why on earth was she going to cry? She didn't know. She heard Sasuke call after her, but she ignored him and continued to run. The sharp ground was suddenly no more as she opened her eyes. She heard one familiar sound and a blinding light, but it was too late to stop.

"SAKURA!!"

Beach House Catastrophes

Chapter 26

Ayama's Secret and Hospital Trips

"Hahahaha!!" Itachi laughed, as Pein and Kakuzu passionately kissed each other.

You see, Hidan had come up with a bizarre game that they all decided to take part in. It was something called kiss the first person you saw and it's a little bit awkward to be kissing the first person you see when all you see are guys. But they were too wasted to tell the difference. A small click sound was made, following up with a flash. Everyone turned around to see Ayama and Konan laughing hysterically. It was obviously very amusing for them to watch two guys make out.

"Hey!! Konan!! You can't just go bustin up on mahh grilll!!" Pein said, his speech was slurred and was hard to understand what he was saying.

"I can do what I want Pein!" She shouted back playfully, before he started to laugh along with Itachi.

"Man this night totally fuckin rocks!" Hidan exclaimed, taking another chug of his Malibu.

Yeah, they were all noticeably wasted, except for the girls. It was rather amusing to watch them though, and it was so obvious that they had no idea what was going on. That was sure going to be a major hangover tomorrow. Ayama shook her head and sighed as she and Konan left the deck and walked over to one of the food stands. They were hungry and decided to leave the drunks alone. Once there, Ayama ordered a bowl of macaroni salad with some barbecued ribs, while Konan got potato salad and a cheeseburger. They took a seat at a table nearest a window and began to eat.

"So Ayama, how far along are you?" Konan asked, before putting a spoonful of potato salad in her mouth.

"About two months." She answered, having Konan nod. She took a long sip of her soda before she started to eat her food.

"I bet Itachi's really excited." She exclaimed, as Ayama smiled sadly.

"Yeah, he is." Konan stared at her for a while before she set her burger down and took a drink.

"What's wrong Ayama?" She asked, as her friend looked up to her, with moisture purely visible in her eyes.

"I don't know how to tell them." She started, her voice cracking sounding as if she's about to cry. "But, my baby...might not be his."

Konan's eyes widened as she watched Ayama rest a hand on her little bump of a stomach. She was too shocked to say anything. She wouldn't cheat on Itachi would she? She doubted it. Konan fumbled with words in her head as Ayama slowly started to eat her food again. What should she say?

"A-Ayama...you didn't cheat on him...did you?" Konan asked worriedly as she sorrowfully shook her head.

"No, I would never cheat on him."

"Then, why don't you think it's his child?"

Ayama sighed, as she placed the cup back down on the table. She moved a hand in a wave like fashion to signal Konan in closer. Konan waited patiently for Ayama to continue speaking, as a few people walked by.

"Remember, a few days before my wedding...when Mikoto had a few people come over for a wicked sweet 16 party for Sasuke?" She said, as Konan nodded. "And Itachi's friend Shisui, you remember him too?" Konan nodded again, clearly confused as to what Ayama was trying to explain.

"Well, I went to the bathroom...and well, everyone was pretty smashed so I don't know what to think but--"
"Ayama, Shisui didn't...rape you..did he?" Konan asked, as Ayama rested her head in her hands, a small sob racked her body. "I don't remember."

The room was dark, a few minors were sitting on the couches in the lounge. Naruto was sitting there lazily with a bowl of popcorn in his lap, with Hinata snuggled up to his side. The TV was flashing previews for upcoming movies as Temari sighed, looking over towards the entrance of the room.

"What's taking them so long to get here?" She complained as Tenten shrugged, before reaching over and grabbing a handful of popcorn for her and Neji. "Maybe he's having a hard time finding her?" Neji suggested, as he watched Tenten shove a bunch of popcorn into her mouth. A few pieces fell off the side of her face and onto the couch.

"I hope you plan on cleaning that.." Ino stated, as Tenten chuckled.

"What if Sakura was kidnapped?!" Temari shouted, as Sai covered her mouth with his hand.

"You are too loud."
"Sakura? Kidnapped? No way." Shikamaru added in, following with a sleepy yawn.

"But her baby!"
"Yeahh... about that. She's not really preggo." Ino told her, as everyone looked towards the blond.
"And how do you know this?" Sai asked.

"Because she and Sasori told me and Shikamaru when we went into their room the other day. It was just a temporary way to hide Ayama's pregnancy from Sasori. But once he found out, Itachi insisted on tricking Sasuke saying that Sasori was the father of her pretend baby." Ino concluded, as she also reached over to grab some popcorn.

"And Sakura went along with this why?" Hinata asked her as Ino laughed.

"She said she thought it was funny."

"Aa." Neji nodded, understanding the situation now. "So Uchiha is the only one who thinks she's pregnant?" Ino nodded.

"Haha!! What a teme!" Naruto exclaimed, as pieces of popcorn sprayed out of his mouth.

"Next time chew with your mouth empty retardo." Tenten scolded, as Naruto laughed sheepishly.

The TV screen suddenly showed the DVD menu for the movie they were watching. 'Don't be a menace.' It was one of Tenten and Ino's favorite movies, so they all decided that they would watch it with them for once. They never really liked any of the movies that the girls liked, but this one was supposed to be funny. "Are you going to hit play or not?" Naruto asked as Neji sighed in irritation. "Aren't we waiting for Sasuke and Sakura?" He replied, as Naruto growled in displeasure. "Start it without them!"

Neji sighed, but none the less started the movie without the two said people. Little did they know that it would be a long time before either of them returned to the house.

--

Time seemed to slow down for them. It was as if he was frozen, like he couldn't move. He saw everything play out, but, he didn't have the strength to move faster. All he remembers was he saw Sakura run out into the street, and then a car came. But he had thought she would've stopped. Realization suddenly hit him as he started sprinting again, just to get to his friends side. He had to be with her now, he had to save her now. The previous fight from before didn't matter to him anymore, all that mattered was Sakura.

"SAKURA!!" He shouted, as he came darting out of the forest.

He searched frantically for his friend until he spotted a head of pink on the ground. He noticed that people were already there, and there was a stopped car. He ran over there as fast as he could.

"Sakura! Sakura! Are you okay?" He yelled, as he pushed through the people who had hit her and got to her side.

He gently gathered her in his arms, just enough so that her head was resting against his chest. He saw that her facial expression was distraught. He turned around and glared at the driver and his friend as he started to shout. "Why are you just standing there!? Call an ambulance!"

They quickly obeyed as he turned back around to Sakura. "Sakura..listen to me. What hurts?" He asked her as she squinted her eyes tightly together before she answered, "My leg..I..I can't move it." Her voice was raspy. He knew for certain she was crying. Of course, who wouldn't cry after getting hit by a car. "And my head." Sasuke looked down at her leg and instantly felt like throwing up. She had a compound fracture.

"Sakura, just keep your eyes closed." Sasuke exclaimed, as she nodded her head.

Sasuke turned his head towards the people who had hit her. Obviously they were shocked as hell, for their eyes remained wide and his friend shook. "What the hell is you problem!? She's got a compound fracture and all you just stand there until someone tells you to call an ambulance?! DO YOU HAVE A BRAIN!?" Sasuke was terribly angry.

"L-look dude, she just j-jumped out of nowhere. I am soo sorry." The driver said. His voice was shaky.

"DON'T FEED ME THAT BULLSHIT!" Sasuke yelled at them.

The sound of an ambulance was coming into his range as he looked both ways to find out where it was coming from. It was coming from the direction of the car. Once it was into view Sasuke turned towards the two people and told them to get a pen and paper and write down their information. They complied and the friend ran off to the car. The ambulance came to a halt and the emergency medical technicians filed out of the back with a stretcher.

"Sir, we are going to need to you to put her down so we can get her in the stretcher." One of the men told him as he nodded and slowly set her back down on the ground. Once they had her all set and strapped in, they began to roll her away when all of a sudden he felt someone tug on his wrist. Looking up, he saw Sakura trying to pull him along. "Please come with me." She exclaimed, trying to fight back the tears that were already falling. Sasuke looked at the other EMT and she nodded her head. So Sasuke followed them into the van.

2 police cars pulled up behind the people who had hit Sakura. One of them parked behind the car and got out to control the traffic until the tow truck arrived and the other one ordered the 2 people to get into the car. They complied and got in, leaving an abandoned car in the right lane of the highway.

--

Konan just stared as Ayama pulled back. She wasn't sure what to be feeling at the moment. Either really sorry for Ayama, or really pissed off at Shisui. Ayama sat there quietly, just finishing her meal when suddenly, her cell phone started ringing off the hook. Sighing she removed the phone from her pocket and answered.

"Hello?" She asked, trying to sound as calm as possible.

"Ayama? Where's Itachi? I can't get a hold of him." Sasuke said through the other line.
"Well he's getting smashed with his friends, why whats wrong? Where are you?"

"I'm in an ambulance. Sakura got hit by a car, we are on our way to the hospital now, you guys need to get there as quickly as possible." Ayama's eyes widened as Konan watched her in confusion.
"Yeah sure, we'll be there." She said, standing up, not even bothering to take another bit of her food.

"Good, hurry up."

After that, the phone went dead as Ayama flipped her phone and then shoved it back in her pocket. She turned around towards Konan and then grabbed her arm. "We're going." She said, as Konan tried to keep herself from falling over.

"Where? What happened?!" She asked Ayama, as they ran across the sand over towards the house.
"Sakura's in the hospital." Ayama said, as her friend's eyes widened.

"What?!"
"Yeah I know, lets get Sasori and her friends and go!" Ayama shouted, as they ran up the stairs and into the beach house.

They quickly bolted through the kitchen and through the doors to the lounge. Everyone there looked up to see both the woman out of breath. "What are you guys doing?" Naruto asked, as Ayama took a deep breath in. "GET YOUR CLOTHES AND SHOES ON NOW WE ARE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL!" She shouted, effectively waking up Shikamaru. "Why?!" Temari asked, as Ayama sighed, for she had already ran half way up the staircase. "Sakura got hit by a car now stop horsing around and get ready!" She shouted, as everyone in the room went silent.

"Oh my gosh." Ino said, covering her mouth with her hand.

"What are you guys waiting for? Come on!" Temari yelled from the top of the stairs. The group of friends looked at each other for a brief moment before they all followed Temari's actions and went upstairs to get dressed.

"SASORI!! WE HAVE AN ISSUE!" Ayama shouted, as she burst through the bedroom door to find her brother ehh...in bed with Deidara. But what freaked her out the most was, they were both half naked. Sasori sleepily removed his head from the pillow of Deidara's bed. Somehow in their little make-out session, Deidara ended up on top. Ayama stared at him for a moment before she remembered what she came in for. "You need to drive, Sakura's in the hospital." She said, throwing him the car keys. "Wait, whats going on?" He sleepily asked, as he slowly pushed Deidara off him. "Sakura got hit by a car, and she's in the hospital. Sasuke is with her, now lets go!" Ayama said, as he nodded and picked his shirt up from the ground.

The others were there as well. Neji and Sai were literally disgusted. Well, that's because they must be homophobic like Sasuke. But that's besides the point. Sasori heard Deidara groan, whispering something about Sasori. Sasori looked down as he got his shirt on. "I'll be back in a while, okay? Just sleep." He said, as Deidara nodded and turned towards the wall. Sasori then walked over towards his sister with the keys in his hand. "Shall we go?" He asked, as she nodded her head in approval.

"Let's go."

Cori: So you all know now.

Itachi: Yes we do.

Cori: I'm sorry it was short, I just couldn't add a lot into this chapter.

Sakura: It's okay.

Cori: And do not get on my ass about Sasori and Deidara. I wanted to put them together. So leave me alone!! T.T

Sasori: It's okay. -pats back-

Cori: Anyways. Reviews would be nice :D

Cori: Don't forget to read and review on my new story called Corruption!! It's really radical!

Itachi: (smiles)
