XXIX. Tattoo
"Alright, Sakura.. I dare you to get this tattooed on your ass!"
This is was a stupid idea, she thinks grumpily as she stares up at the neon lit signs. She swallows and her fingers shakily reach out towards the door handle of the store. They hesitate as they brush the cool metal and she bites down on her lower lip.
No, she thinks with a sudden burst of confidence, this is it. The appointment has already been made. She has to go through with this. Fingers grip the piece of paper in her other hand and she drags in a long, ragged breath before exhaling it slowly, trying to control her shaking limbs and rapid heartbeat. At the thought of what she is going to do, her cheeks redden in a blush.
The good thing is, she reasons with herself, no one will know her in here. She made sure to travel outside of Konaha to find a place so that she would not be known or talked about. Her fingers grasp the door handle and with a quick yank, she steps inside the store, feeling the air blast against her face. This dulls down her blush, and she thanks the AC system silently. Fingers clenching her paper, she approaches the front desk, willing herself to swallow a dry breath.
Do not stutter, she orders herself harshly, as the man behind the desk smiles, and nods to her in greeting.
"Appointment for Haruno Sakura." She whispers and the man nods once more, checking his book. She commemorates her ability to not sound as nervous as she really is. In an instant, the man gestures behind him and into the first room with another smile. On shaking legs, she takes herself to the doorway, peering into the clean room.
"Hi!" The woman says happily from her chair in the corner and beckons her patient into the room. She moves in quickly and seats herself on the table, crossing her legs to control her jittery limbs.
"Hello." She murmures, and looks at the woman. She is a blue haired, older looking beauty, without wrinkles, but covered in ink and piercings. The woman bares her white teeth at her, and slips on a pair of gloves.
"Sakura right?" She checks her appointment book and Sakura nods quickly. The woman hums as she heads over to Sakura on the table, still smiling happily. It sort of comforts Sakura's nerves, if for a split second.
"My name is Hana and I'll be doing your ink today. So what are we wanting done, hm?"
With still shaking fingers, she holds out the piece of paper towards Hana, who takes it, humming under her breath happily.
"Ah", she clicks her tongue, "a simple design. I can do that. Where do you want it, sweetie?"
Sakura takes in a deep breath and tells the woman. To her surprise, Hana does not look shocked, but rather amused. She agrees, and Sakura assumes that she has had her fair share of tattoos on that area. She swallows once more. Too late to turn back now, she tells herself and musters up enough confidence to stand up to bare the area to the artist. Hana settles her down on the table and covers the area with a cool liquid. Sakura shivers.
"This may hurt quite a bit after, you know that, right?" She makes sure, and Sakura nods.
"Yes." She whispers.
The girls were all over at Ino's house after a night of clubbing, lounging around on her couches. Hinata was in a fit of gentle giggles, and TenTen was on her third round of martinis. Ino was blabbering loudly about nothing in particular, and Sakura zoned out. That was, until Ino finally said something interesting that sparked Sakura's attention.
"Truth or Dare time!" Ino squealed, and raised her empty glass. There was a collective groan of disapproval among the other girls, and Ino frowned.
"What? It's fun! Come on guys!" She nudged TenTen, who rolled her eyes and sighed, giving in.
"Fine. But Sakura goes first this time." Sakura's eyes widened. She absolutely hated Truth or Dare, mostly because she sucked at giving dares, while her friends were masters. Sakura would always offer the easiest ones, such as drink a concoction of different liquids, kiss someone, streak around Konaha, the kid stuff. But when Ino gave dares, she knew how to really spice it up.
After Ino quickly carried out her dare of licking the bottom of TenTen's heel (one of Sakura's blandest), she quickly turned back to the pinkette with a devious smile.
"Sakura, Truth or Dare?" She said evily. Sakura's mouth opened and she raised a fist to her best friend angrily.
"H-Hey! You can't reciprocate it-"
"Actually, we made that a rule that you could last time, remember Sak?" TenTen chimed in, and Sakura looked towards Hinata for help. Hinata offered her an innocent smile and shrugged. Sakura pouted.
"You guys are evil."
She wanted to say truth, because she knew that Ino had a very well thought up dare for her, but she already knew what the Truth question would be. Why aren't you and the Uchiha hooking up yet? And Sakura was fed up of trying to reason with them that Sasuke didn't like her like that and probably never would. She didn't want to sit through yet another counseling session with Ino over it, so she gave in. Ino's dare couldn't be that bad now, could it?
"Dare." She sighed. Ino rubbed her palms together, and whispered to Hinata and TenTen, whose eyes widened. Sakura cursed herself.
Oh no.., she thought.
Ino quickly jumped up and grabbed a notepad and pen from her desk. With the help of TenTen and Hinata, she quickly and expertly scribbled on the pad, before holding it to her chest as if it were a child. She shot Sakura an evil grin.
"Alright, Sakura.. I dare you to get this tattooed on your ass!"
She flipped the pad around to show Sakura, who's lips drooped, jaw dropping open. TenTen and Hinata were grinning too.
"NO!" She screamed, her face flushing beet red. But Ino would never take no for an answer when giving out a dare.
Hana had been right. It did hurt like a bitch. Sitting down was a tentative action, and Sakura had to strain herself in the first week to try and sit normally when in the presence of her male teammates. She only let out the expanse of pain and caution when around her girl friends, who looked proud of themselves. Naruto was completely out of it, and didn't notice Sakura's wince as she sat down slowly, and Kakashi sure didn't mention it. But she felt Sasuke's curious gaze on her as her lips dropped in a small amount of pain. She blushed and avoided his gaze.
She was so glad that she planned it so her appointment was in the town outside of Suna where her mission was. That meant, no one was suspicious of where she was, and no one had to know that she went.
Every morning, she would turn around in the mirror, inspecting the small tattoo with a blush, before pulling on her pants and leaving the house. She was still in shock with herself over it.
The only good thing about Ino making her get it on her ass was that no one would ever see it.
Her team had finished their regular training session one day when the tattoo was still fresh, and Naruto had accidentally bumped into Sakura, his arm nudging just exact spot of her tattoo. She winced and cried out at the numbing pain. Sasuke and Kakashi had turned to her in worry, both staring at her curiously.
"Are you alright, Sakura?" She bit her lip and nodded, rubbing the spot Naruto had hit. He looked at her guiltily. To be honest, he was quite shocked that she wasn't beating him to an incredible pulp for touching her behind.
"Sorry, Sakura-chan! Did I hit you too hard-" She waved at hand at him and smiled.
"No! Ah, I got a bruise the other day at work and it's still healing is all. I'll.. ah.. see you guys later!" She smiled once more and hurried from the training grounds towards her home. Kami, why couldn't Ino have picked a less sensitive spot?
She showered quickly to rid herself of the thick layer of sweat accumulated from training and changed into a thin pair of underwear and a long shirt. She applied the gel ointment to the tattoo, and looked at the clock with a sigh. She had to go around for an hour now, waiting until it dried before she could cover it. Hana had told her that the gel left one hell of a stain on clothes if it didn't dry properly.
She was halfway into making dinner, when her doorbell rang. She jumped with a squeak, face turning red.
"I'm not decent!" She whispered to herself and quickly pulled her shirt down to it's full length around her upper thighs, wincing. She wished she could put on some kind of pants. But she had already messed up one pair with the gel stain, and didn't want to go through it again. As long as the tattoo was covered, that was all that mattered right now. She quickly headed to the door, pulling it open. Her jaw unhinged at the man on her doorstep and she turned five different shades of red all at once.
"S-Sasuke-kun?" She gasped, and quickly pulled the door to cover her clothing choice. He grunted and slipped his hands into his pockets. She watched him, waiting for him to say whatever it was he needed to, but when he didn't, she looked down, wanting so hard to just close the door and-
"Aren't you going to let me inside, Sakura?" He chided teasingly, and she squeaked, looking down. She let out a quick, awkward laugh.
"A-Ah, sure, come in. What's the matter?" She opened the door and watched him step past her, his eyes on her kitchen, where he could probably smell her rice and hear it simmering in the pan. He huffed in a breath and turned towards her. She felt his eyes travel down her body and back up, and his lips twitched up into a smirk. She blushed and closed her door, hurrying past him into the kitchen to check on her rice.
"Kakashi wanted me to come and check on you to make sure you were alright." He deadpanned, and leaned in her kitchen doorway, hands still buried in the pockets of his dark pants. She blushed and nodded, turning back towards him, just in case. She laughed once more and rubbed her neck in a Naruto fashion.
"A-Ah right, my bruise. Well I'm okay. Thank you for coming over to check on me-"
"Hn."
She swallowed and looked away from him. By his stance, he didn't plan on leaving any time soon, and that made her very nervous. He of all people could not know about her getting a tattoo, it would be the death of her.
"Sakura." She jumped and looked up at Sasuke, thoughts disappearing from her mind.
"Hm?" She asked shakily, and she heard Sasuke chuckle.
"Your rice is boiling over." He stated blandly, and she let out a quick 'oh!' in surprise and turned to her stove, quickly flicking the dial off. She stirred the concoction and mumbled to herself a string of curses. Sasuke grunted, amused by her actions, but continued to stay in her doorway. She bit her lip and set down the pot back on the stove ring, turning back towards him. She folded her arms over her chest, feeling a bit exposed, wishing she could put on a pair of pants.
"Sasuke-kun?" She said, and his eyes met hers lazily.
"Hn?"
"Why are you still here?" She whispered curiously. He shrugged and looked at the clock on her wall.
"To be honest, I have nothing else important to do." He replied coolly, and she shrugged.
"Want some rice? I've got enough for two."
"Aa."
She decided to serve up two dishes anyways. He was a man, he'd probably eat it either way. She turned back away from him and reached up to grab two bowls, setting them down by the stove. She grabbed a few tomatoes from her produce bowl and began to chop them into small chunks, humming as she did. She felt Sasuke's eyes on her back and swallowed around her tune. She slowly began to forget about the tattoo and the fact that she was only in a large shirt and panties while her lifetime love, Uchiha Sasuke was stood in her kitchen, watching her.
She collected the bits of tomato in her hands and dished them into the pot of rice. As she did, a small chunk slipped through her fingers and to the floor with a small plop.
"Ah crap." She muttered, and bent down to pick it up off of the floor, back still to Sasuke.
His breath hitched.
And then, Sakura began to remember the tattoo. She froze in realization of what had just happened, face going beet red.
Sasuke was silent, and she could hear her heart thudding in her chest. She quickly stood up straight, tomato chunk ignored on the ground and pulled at her shirt, making sure it was back around her thighs. She bit her lip, hoping, wishing, praying that he had not just seen-
"S-Sakura." He sounded strangled, hoarse, when he finally spoke. She clenched her eyes shut, lips sealed together.
"M-Mhmm?" She winced, back stiff. There was more silence, and then Sasuke finally spoke once more.
"Is that the Uchiha fan-"
"Mhmm."
It was all over, Sakura thought. She was about to die. Every muscle in her body tightened, and she heard Sasuke's breath hitch more, now in complete realization. She quickly prepared her speech of explanation to say before he killed her, or screamed at her, or just flat out began to hate her. What she did not expect, and exactly what happened was for her to find herself suddenly shoved stomach first against the counter, a warm body pressing her to the hard surface. Air escaped her lips loudly.
"Fuck." Sasuke gritted out, palms pressed to the counter to hold her in place. Her body began to shake, and she felt his breath slowly fan against the back of her neck. I'm dead, she thought sadly, he's absolutely pissed-
"Christ, Sakura, do you even know-"
Her eyes widened as his lips fell onto the exposed skin between her shoulder and neck, teeth attacking the skin. She bit back a moan.
"-how much of a fucking tease-"
His lips went to her other shoulder, licking the soft skin. She swayed, and her eyes closed, lips still pursed and shut. He pressed his body ever closer to hers, a deep growl coming from his chest.
"-you are, and that you're driving me absolutely fucking insane?"
Her eyes widened, and she opened her mouth to say anything, but his hands snaked off of the counter top and gripped the front of her thighs. He pushed her back against his body, grinding his pelvis to her backside heatedly as if to show her just how much of an effect she had on him. His erection rubbed against her inner thigh and she finally let out a moan.
His lips fell back on her neck, pressing hard kisses to her pulse, and she wound her hands behind her, gripping and kneading his scalp. He growled louder, and his hands were already on the hem of her shirt, pulling it up to her stomach in a bundle in his fist.
"S-Sasuke-kun, the tattoo gel-" She whimpered in protest, but he growled against her ear.
"Don't care." He said, and proceeded to roam over her flat stomach and legs with his free hand. Slowly, he gripped her legs, pushing them apart, and hooked his thumb into the waistband of her panties. Shakily her fingers gripped the counter on either side of her hips, holding her upright, as she could feel her knees giving way. He ground against her once more, hot breath panting into her neck and she whimpered.
Slowly, the heat disappeared from behind her as he slipped to his knees, and she felt his lips right above the gel covered ink. She blushed harder. The insignia was about the size of his ear, and she could hear him let out a groan in complete pleasure.
"You can explain later-"
He stood up swiftly and swung her around in his arms, lifting her up onto the counter. He stepped between her legs, already pressing his lips back to her neck. His hands pushed her shirt up and over her head quickly.
"-when I'm finished with you."
She shuddered at his deep, raspy tone, and suddenly, she was clutching his cheeks, bringing his lips up to meet hers finally in a kiss. His tongue slipped into her mouth, and she exhaled, squeezing her eyes shut. She dragged her fingers through his dark locks, using her knees to hook him closer to her, pressing his lower half against hers.
Tattoo gel be damned.
(A/N: I'll leave this part to your imaginations xD)
Of course, Sakura explained to Sasuke afterwards just how she ended up with the Uchiha clan symbol tattooed on her ass, and he remained silent, but she knew, she knew that she would have something to tell Ino this time in Truth or Dare.
That was, if she ever got to Ino's house.
They still had to clean the tattoo gel off of the counter, wall, their clothes, and countless other places.
Not to mention, Sasuke was covered in it.
A/N: Sorry again for not going total lemon, guys, I like to open it up for the readers to decided what happened, but judging by where Sakura's tattoo gel ended up, I think we can all agree that Sasuke got some sexy time in LOL. And that, kids, is how Uchiha Sasuke finally hooked up with Haruno Sakura.
