Roger. That's what I named the teddy bear that Gaara-kun gave me.
Sadly though, Gaara's visit was cut short, lasting about only a minute, BUT IT WAS THE BEST MINUTE OF MY LIFE!
Ah, the FEELS!
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
...
Sorry. Um...
Right now, I was rolling on the floor over and over again, probably looking like a worm having seizures, and I firmly held my precious teddy bear that Gaara-kun gave me while I squealed like a fangirl.
Normally, I would NEVER be acting this crazy, but since it's my birthday, TODAY IS AN EXCEPTION! CHA!
Also, I'm mostly acting like this because I'm hyper. Heehee.
"She's... She's lost it!" Ino exclaimed with her eyes bulged and she twitched.
"S-Should we call a doctor...?" Hinata asked with a frown.
Ino sighed. "I don't know..."
"Wow, Sakura-san even looks stunning while rolling on the ground like that! Amazing!" Lee quietly murmured to himself while clenching his fist and he blushed.
Naruto huffed and crossed his arms. "What's so great about that guy anyway...?"
Sasuke glared at me and lightly kicked my back. "Idiot. Get up."
Blushing, I paused, and glared up at Sasuke. "YOU BUTT! You're just jealous because you didn't get a gift from Gaara-kun! JEALOUS!"
Oh geez, I sound delirious! I seriously had too much sugar...
He twitched and his glare on me intensified. "You better watch what you say..."
"Pft! Oh please. I'm not scared of YOU!" I declared while standing and I childishly stuck my tongue out at the Uchiha.
"HEY! QUIT HARASSING SASUKE-KUN, FOREHEAD!" Ino thunderously roared while clenching a fist and she growled.
Before I could make an awesome retort, my parents came downstairs, and our attention was now all drawn to them.
"Sakura! Your Father and I are going to the store for a little bit...we'll be back soon! Bye kids!" my mom told us while waving and she a blew a kiss to Sasuke.
Ew. Ew. EW.
They then left and a light bulb lit up in my head, causing me to gasp in total happiness.
"Hey guys! Let's play Hide and Seek Tag! With all the lights off too!" I hastily suggested, my eyes sparkling, and I held Roger (my teddy bear) even tighter.
Sasuke instantly responded, "No."
Naruto blinked his eyes. "Hide and Seek Tag?"
"I-Isn't that a little dangerous...w-with the lights o-off...?" Hinata asked with an upside down smile.
"Yeah! And we're not kids anymore, Forehead!" Ino hollered, very annoyed.
"Oh please, please!" I cutely begged and then frantically explained with fake tears, "I always wanted to play the game when I was little but I never had any friends to play it with..."
Lee then nobly bent down on one knee as an imaginary sunset appeared behind us and he took a hold of my hand. "Don't worry, Sakura-san! I'll... I'll play for you!"
I slightly blushed and stared down at him in shock but then smiled, my eyes now sparkling even more than before. "R-Really...? You'll play...?"
Lee nodded and said, "Yes! I'll play until the very death-ARGH!"
Sasuke then brutally grabbed Lee by the ear, pinching him, and the Uchiha dragged him away from me while saying under his breath, "Losers..."
"So... So what do you guys say...?" I asked with hope in my voice.
"I'll play of course, Sakura-chan! Anything for you!" Naruto eagerly answered with a wink and he flashed me that handsome smile of his.
"Me too! Me too!" Lee chanted, but his voice sounded strained, probably because Sasuke's hand had just freaking raped his ear. Poor Lee.
Hinata gulped. "I-I g-guess I-I'll p-play..."
Ino sighed and slapped a hand to her face. "Darn it, here goes my pride! I guess I have no choice but to play..."
The four of us all then looked at Sasuke, awaiting for his reply.
He sighed.
"Hn. Fine. But only because it's your Birthday..."
We all cheered.
YAY!
•*•*•Ten minutes later•*•*•
We turned off all the lights in the house, except for the kitchen, because Hinata was just absolutely terrified of having all the lights off.
Anyway, Ino had volunteered to be it for some reason, and she had just finished counting to ten.
I was aimlessly roaming the hallway upstairs, trying to find a place to hide, and that's when I bumped into someone, causing me to quietly squeak in fear.
My head then jerked up and I gasped in shock at seeing who it was.
"Sasuke!"
"Idiot-"
The butt stopped talking once we heard footsteps from ahead and he then grabbed my wrist.
"Come on!" Sasuke coldly urged in a whisper and he literally dragged me into one of the hallway closets.
We sat on the floor right besides one another and the closet was so small that our bodies even slightly brushed against each other.
Oh yeah...
I WAS FREAKING BLUSHING LIKE MAD!
...
After a few minutes of sitting in total awkward silence, Sasuke abruptly started to quietly cry out in pain, and grasped his neck.
Alarmed, my eyes widened in horror as worriment overruled me, and I asked in a whisper, "A-Are y-you okay?"
"Sakura, kiss me."
My cheeks instantly became the exact color of a flamingo and I was taken aback. "W-What?!"
Sasuke groaned in frustration as he cringed and held his neck even tighter. "You said it yourself that blushing makes the pain go away, right?"
I gulped while insanely blushing and nervously nodded. "W-Well... Y-Yeah, but I don't need to kiss you to make you blush! U-Um... Let me try to flood you with complements! U-Um... Y-You're... Y-You're cute... U-Uh... Y-You're booty is big-AH!...I-I D-DIDN'T MEAN TO SAY T-THAT! GAH!"
It's true. His butt is GINORMOUS.
I mean, why do you think I always call him a butt all the time? It's not just because he acts like a total jerk, it's also because he has a godly butt.
...
NO I'M NOT A PERVERT!
I'm just observant...
Sasuke glared at me as he continued to cringe and it seemed like he was losing his patience. "Damn it, Sakura! Just do it! I did it to you when you asked me..."
I blushed even more and timidly countered, "Y-Yeah but I didn't ask you to kiss me-
"Just hurry up!" Sasuke rashly ordered while scowling, his body now trembling from the pain, and he held onto his neck even tighter.
Guilt then engulfed my eyes at remembering the chronic pain of the curse mark and I nodded with a gulp.
"A-Alright..." I shyly mumbled while looking down, my cheeks burning of crimson, and I slowly leaned in.
For a moment, I just paused, my body shaking in total fear as our lips were inches apart, and I then planted a kiss on his cheek, chickening out.
Blushing, I quickly looked down in guilt, and nervously said, "I... I can't. I'm sorry. I... I've never kissed anyone on purpose b-before."
I heard Sasuke huff and his voice sounded strained. "Hn. It's not like we haven't before. Besides, it's just a kiss..."
"B-But... It's not a just kiss. I'd be kissing...y-you..." I nervously whispered while looking up at him as I tried to fight that shy smile spreading across my lips and my cheeks were rosy-red.
His eyes slightly widened, now actually looking shocked, and he was...
BLUSHING!
I loudly gasped and pointed at him while blushing myself.
"Y-You're b-blushing! Now I don't have to kiss you anymore! Yay! I win! I win!" I exclaimed with a laugh and started to do my own little victory dance while sitting down and I cutely moved my arms around in a serene fashion.
Embarrassed, Sasuke then grabbed a hold of my arm, and irritably yelled, "IDIOT! That wasn't good enough!-"
I giggled, interrupting him, and teasingly said, "Now you're just faking it! You just want me to kiss you! Pervert!"
Sasuke growled and rolled his eyes. "Tch. Idiot."
Before I could retort, the closet door suddenly busted open, and I unconsciously hid behind Sasuke while screaming.
It was Ino, the one who was currently it in the game, and she wickedly smirked once seeing us. "Going somewhere?"
Her smirk then fell at then realizing that we were alone in a closet together and she started to hysterically rant like the world was ending!
During her rant, Sasuke and I successfully crawled away from her, not being tagged, and we were now crawling in the hallway.
I then paused and looked at him. "U-Um... W-Why are we still crawling?"
He shrugged and muttered, "Hn."
The two of us got up and started to walk.
I then looked at him with an upside down smile and asked, "How's your neck?"
He then grasped it. "Hn."
I smiled evilly.
He's disappointed about not kissing me, isn't he? Heehee.
Before I could tease him, we both heard Ino's voice, and we turned around to see her charging at us with the speed of a cheetah.
On instinct, we ran straight ahead, and turned separate corners.
Man, I hope my parents don't come home soon. This is fun!
Hesitantly, I then looked behind to see that Ino went the same way Sasuke was going, and a sigh of relief fled my lips.
I can finally relax-
NOPE.
Like the clumsy pink haired idiot that I am, I fell backwards while shrieking in fear, but someone had caught me from behind, saving me from my own stupidity.
"Sakura-chan?"
I slowly turned my head to see that Naruto was holding me by the shoulders from behind and my face automatically reddened.
"EEK! S-Sorry!" I timidly squeaked and lurched away from him like no tomorrow.
Naruto arched an eyebrow. "You okay?"
I swallowed and nodded, still blushing of course. "Y-Yeah. U-Um... Thanks for catching me, Naruto."
"Yeah, no problem. Is Ino still it?" he casually asked.
I shrugged. "Yeah, I guess so. I mean, she just went after Sasuke... Maybe he's it now?"
"Hm, Sasuke, huh? I wonder..." my blond teammate murmured and his sapphire eyes looked shockingly serious for once.
Why is he acting so weird?
"Yeah. I was just hiding with him. U-Um... Is everything okay?" I asked in concern, feeling very confused.
"Huh? Yeah, everything is fine!" Naruto happily replied, snapping out of his serious state, and he forced a smile.
Okay. Now I'm suspicious. What's wrong with him?
Before I could interrogate him, we heard footsteps from afar, and that's when the ramen lover grabbed onto my hand, and said, "Come on, Sakura-chan!"
I blushed insanely as our hands locked and the two of us ran down the hallway.
We then went into the kitchen, which was fairly lit up, and panted.
Geez, my house is super tiny, but when playing this game, I feel like I'm in a freaking castle!
...Well, my house is actually an apartment, but I prefer to call it a house because I'm a weirdo like that...
...
"Hopefully Ino doesn't find us in here..." I whispered with a frown, not really knowing what to say.
Naruto nodded. "Yeah."
Awkward silence.
I really had no idea what to say.
Maybe I could tell him about my curse mark now? Nah, it's not the right time yet-
"Sakura..." Naruto abruptly started, his voice dead-serious, and I innocently looked up, our eyes locking.
"If Sasuke ever hurts you...tell me...and I'll take care of him for you."
His words made me flinch. W-What?
Shocked, my lips tightened, the ends turning downwards as I slightly blushed, and confusion now dominated me.
"What... What are you talking about?" I apprehensively asked and bit my lip.
Naruto sighed and ran his fingers through his spiky sun-kissed blond hair. "I just don't want anyone hurting you, Sakura-chan."
"I... I still don't understand..." I mumbled, my frown still remaining.
His beautiful sapphire eyes then met with mine as a tender smile slowly formed across his lips and he softly proclaimed, "Sakura... I have one more Birthday present to give you..."
An uneasy smile spread across my lips."W-What? Awe, you don't have too, Naruto! It's-"
My mouth immediately shut when Naruto started to walk towards me without saying anything, causing me to timidly step backwards, and before I knew it, my back was leaning against the refrigerator.
He then grabbed my right wrist, holding it in midair, and slowly leaned his head into me, our lips now just centimeters away from each other.
Stunned, my face flushed the same color as the inside of a watermelon as I stared at him, feeling utterly dumbstruck, and I felt his warm breath caress my skin.
"Sakura-chan... There's so many things I want to say to you but I'm going to let my actions do the talking. Happy Birthday, Sakura-chan..." Naruto softly whispered, his voice deeply filled with passion, and we stared into each others eyes for a second before he firmly pressed his lips onto mine.
The soothing touch of his lips instantly made my skin feel all tingly, as if an army of ants were parading all over my body, and my face intensely glowed of neon-red. Electricity surged up and down from my spine to my legs, making me weak. I felt paralyzed, like all the physical movement in me had just abruptly vanished. My innocent eyes full of shock remained open, just staring at him, seeing that his eyes were closed, that he was enjoying the kiss. Seeing this made me blush even more and I wanted to break the kiss but at the same time I didn't. His lips were just so warm, so comforting; almost irresistible. They also tasted like ramen, which was no surprise, and that fact alone almost made me laugh during the kiss.
After what felt like an eternity, Naruto pulled back, and then stared down at the floor, his spiky blond bangs covering his eyes.
Mouth agape, I stared at him in immense shock while my thoughts went wild at wondering what had just happened, and I tried to remember all those exhilarating sensations coursing through my body that had occurred just moments ago.
I was speechless, breathless. When he kissed me, it felt like I could feel all his emotions, all his love for me. It felt good but frightening at the same time and knowing that really scared me...
"FOUND YOU!"
The two of us then instantly turned our heads to see Ino storming into the kitchen and we both flinched.
"Sakura-chan, run!" Naruto fiercely yelled as he then grabbed onto my hand but before we could move any further, Ino had already tagged me.
I let out a tiny shriek once she tagged me and Naruto just squeezed my hand tighter, causing me to blush.
"Aw, CRAP!" I childishly exclaimed while stomping my foot in frustration and then sighed, fake tears now streaming down my face. "Why me...?"
Ino snickered. "I got you, Forehead! Now you're it! And whoa, why are you two holding hands?! Were you planing to run away together or something?"
We both blushed and Naruto swiftly let go of my hand.
"N-No!" I denied in a stutter and the blood wouldn't stop rushing to my cheeks.
"Hm. Whatever..." Ino murmured and she then flashed me a playful smirk. "Count to ten, Forehead."
I glared at her and then sighed. "Fine..."
"L-Later, Sakura-chan!" Naruto hastily said with a smile and he quickly ran out of the room as did Ino.
Another sigh escaped my lips and I started to count to ten.
This sucks.
•*•*•Ten minutes later•*•*•
Yup. Ten minutes later of being it and I still couldn't tag anyone, let alone find anyone! I officially suck at being it...
It didn't help either that the kiss with Naruto wouldn't leave my thoughts, no matter what. Thinking about the kiss made me feel guilt and I didn't know why either and it was killing me...
I don't know what to feel.
Suddenly, I heard voices from another room, and I flinched.
This is my chance to finally tag someone!
But I want to be sneaky first...
Carefully, I walked over towards the door, and leaned against the wall, now eavesdropping.
After a few seconds had passed, I realized the ones who were talking were Ino and Sasuke.
Eavesdropping round one.
"Why?! Why do you like Sakura so much?! Why don't you like me?! What's so great about her, Sasuke-kun?!" Ino ranted, bombarding Sasuke with questions, and I heard her growl.
"She's the only person in this whole world that I want to restore my clan with..."
Inwardly gasping, my pupils gradually constricted in complete shock at hearing his words, and I felt frozen like a statue.
R-Restore? W-With me?
...
Eyes widening, the thought of having a zillion babies with Sasuke then crossed my mind, causing me to blush like crazy, and I forced myself not to scream.
W-WHAT?!
D-Did... Did he really just say that?!
WHAT THE HECK MAN?!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The world doesn't need billions of other little Sasukes running around!
...Or do they?
I then heard voices from another room and my curiosity got to the best of me, so I cautiously waddled my way near a different door, my back still leaning against the wall.
Eavesdropping round two.
This time it was Naruto and Rock Lee talking.
"So Sakura-san is it?! How exciting!" Lee gushed and he continued on, "She is such an angel! I love her!"
I heard a soft chuckle come from Naruto. "You don't know her enough to say that you love her. I've known her for years, ever since we were six."
"I don't need to know Sakura-san to know that she's a good person! I can tell she's an angel just by looking at her! That's why I love her! I shall make her mine!" Lee declared, his voice screaming with confidence, and he then asked the blond, "And wait, does this mean you're in love with Sakura-san?"
"...Yes. I love her with all my heart. She saved me from myself and I can't thank her enough. Just seeing her, just being close by her... Is enough to make me happy. I'd do anything for her in a heartbeat, especially if it was for her own happiness. I would even be willing give up my own dream of becoming Hokage, if that's what it took to make her happy. Ever since I met her, I would train harder and smile more because of her. All because of her... Every time I see her, I'm get so happy, and I just want to hug her. She's so cute but even cuter when she smiles. I love her smile. Heh. Well, I love everything about her. Lately, I've been losing sleep because I can't stop thinking about her. It sucks for my health to stay up so late but I don't care, I love her. I'm not the only one who does though... Sasuke loves her too. Sakura-chan likes us both, I can tell, but she doesn't know who she likes more. It hurts but I'm not going to force her to love me. Nothing would make me happier if she picks me though..."
Tears. They wouldn't stop flooding out of my eyes and I even had to cover my mouth to restrain my sobs.
My whole body was relentlessly shaking and so was my heart; it hurt so much, it ached.
Guilt kept mercilessly slicing my soul with a knife and breathing suddenly became harder to do...
Naruto. He genuinely loves me. Those words he just spoke just proved it. But why...
Why do I still not know my feelings?
How long am I going to hurt Naruto like this? Making him wait? Making him scared to lose me? Making him...
...
It's true though, Naruto's speech did warm my heart, and made me outrageously blush like an idiot too, but...it also reminded me of other things.
For instance, how I have feelings for two people.
I feel like a horrible person for having feelings for two people...
...but I can't help it.
I want to love him, I really do, but I can't force myself. That wouldn't be right. It's the same scenario with Sasuke...
I... I don't know what to do.
"Wow, that was an amazing speech of your love, Naruto! But you forgot that I love her too! It looks like you and Sasuke are now my rivals! I will not give up on her! Not today or any other day! Never! It's too bad she didn't hear your speech though..."
Oh Lee. You don't know how dead wrong you are...
I did hear it.
•*•*•One hour later•*•*•
The six of us had finished playing Hide and Seek Tag and were now about to play...Truth or Dare...in my room.
After many minutes of trying to convince Sasuke to play, he finally said he would, and everyone did their own victory dance when the Uchiha said yes.
Even though I would laugh, Naruto's words kept replaying in my mind, and I couldn't help but be a little sad...
...but I hid my sadness with smiles.
"Okay, let's start already! I'll go first!" Ino eagerly declared while smiling and she then smirked. "Naruto: Truth or Dare?"
Naruto scratched his head and thought for a minute. "Uhhhh... Truth?"
"Who was your first kiss?" Ino mischievously asked, already knowing the answer, and she snickered.
Oh Ino. You're so CRUEL...
Naruto made an ugly face and bitterly muttered, "Sasuke..."
Everyone in the room giggled except for Naruto and Sasuke.
My two teammates were now twitching, both looking disgusted, and they probably were thinking about their first accidental kiss.
"Okay, okay. Now it's your turn Naruto! Ask someone Truth or Dare!" Ino hastily insisted and giggled.
Naruto scratched his head again and closed his eyes. "Uhhhh... Okay. Lee, Truth or Dare?"
"Dare! Dare! Dare!" Lee boldly chanted and he clenched his fist. "I'm not scared of any dare! I will prove my braveness to Sakura-san!"
My sweat dropped.
Naruto smirked. "Alright. Lee, I dare you to sniff Sasuke's armpits."
THE HECK?!
Sasuke's eyes immediately bulged in anger and he gave Naruto the death glare.
"THE HELL?!"
Lee's eyes turned into two little black dots, his shoulders now sagging, and confusion consumed him. "Wha...What...?"
Naruto sighed and crossed his arms. "Just do it."
"Hell no!" Sasuke snapped.
"What, are you ticklish or something?" I teasingly asked the Uchiha and giggled.
Now Sasuke was giving ME the death-glare and a fiery aura surrounded him.
I twitched and glared back at him.
Lee sighed and then clenched his fist, looking determined. "Fine! I'm up for the challenge! As long as Sasuke doesn't kill me..."
Sasuke closed his eyes and huffed. "Hn. Fine. Just make it fast or else."
For three seconds, Lee quickly smelled the butt's armpits, and Sasuke was twitching so much in disgust that I feared his face would look that way forever.
Lee then withdrew his nose from the Uchiha's armpits, looking way more disgusted than Sasuke was, and he held his nose. "I'm sorry Sasuke...but you need deodorant. Badly."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! LOSER-"
Before Sasuke could strangle Lee, Naruto covered his mouth with one hand, and restrained him with the other.
"Asshole! Calm down! It's your turn now!" Naruto yelled, still restraining my stoic teammate, and he growled.
Sasuke huffed and then pushed the blond away from him. "Hn. Fine!"
He then looked at me and smirked. "Sakura: Truth or Dare?"
I flinched, totally startled, and the blood rushed to my cheeks.
WHY IS HE PICKING M-ME?!
"U-Uh... D-Dare?" I said stupidly.
AH! I shouldn't have said THAT!
Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap. Oh crap.
Oh crap. Oh crap. OH CRAP.
He smirked. "Kiss me."
Everyone gasped in shock.
My face immediately flushed of pink and I was taken aback.
"W-WHAT?!" I screamed.
And so the uproar starts...
"WHAT?! LIKE HELL YOU'RE KISSING HIM, FOREHEAD!" Ino fumed.
"SASUKE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! DON'T MAKE MY ANGEL KISS YOU!" Lee shouted.
"YOU ASSHOLE! LIKE HELL I'M LETTING HER KISS YOU!" Naruto thundered, very outraged.
"...G-Go f-for i-it, S-Sakura-chan..." Hinata stuttered and she flashed me a shy smile.
"I-I'm not kissing y-you!" I fiercely proclaimed while glaring at him but my blushing wouldn't stop and panic was now overruling me from the inside.
So this is his revenge for me not kissing him in the closet?!
He's forcing me to kiss him in front of everyone to humiliate me?!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?!
"You have to. It's a dare," Sasuke retorted, that darn smirk still plastered onto his lips, and he chuckled. "I guess you're too scared too though..."
Blushing, I twitched, and felt a vein pop. "I-I'M NOT!"
He crossed his arms. "Prove it."
Fuming, I crawled up to him, and quickly pecked him on the lips.
My heart skipped a beat when our lips met and his eyes widened in shock at seeing that I actually did it.
We both blushed...but only a little bit.
I then returned back to my seat while still blushing and huffed. "THERE! HAPPY NOW?!"
Sasuke smirked. "Hn."
I then realized that it was MY turn and now I was the one smirking. "Sasuke: Truth or Dare."
"Dare."
He then flinched at realizing his mistake and then shook his head. "No, I actually mean Truth-"
"Too late! You can't change it!" Naruto exclaimed and laughed.
"H-He's r-right..." Hinata agreed.
"Tch. Whatever. Just say your stupid dare already!" Sasuke hissed at me.
My smirk grew.
This is my revenge for you making me kiss you.
YOU BUTT!
"Lick the toilet seat."
Silence.
Eyes growing unbelievably wide, Sasuke's face lit up in anger, his blood boiling, and he scowled like never before.
"Are you fucking serious?!"
BAD SASUKE. NO SWEARING!
"Suck it up, Sasuke! It's a dare! Don't be a wuss-" Naruto tried saying but got cut off when Sasuke face palmed his face and he pushed him so hard that he fell backwards on the floor.
"Shut up, loser..." Sasuke muttered as he stood, his voice somewhat monotone, and he glared down at the blond who was now lying on the floor.
Naruto immediately sat back up and flashed him a deadly glare. "ASSHOLE!"
"Quit stalling and just go already!" I hastily ordered and was growing rather impatient. "The bathroom door is right there! Now go and open the door so we can all see!"
Yes. In my room, there is a bathroom right there. How convenient. Heehee.
Sasuke bitterly said something under his breath and walked into the bathroom and left the door open.
"S-SAKURA! DON'T MAKE SASUKE-KUN DO THIS!" Ino angrily screamed and she clenched her fists.
I sighed and waved a finger at her. "Sorry, but he had it coming. He's a butt so now he's going to lick the very place where people put their butts on."
Ino smirked. "You mean your butt?"
My eyes grew SO wide that they almost came out of their sockets and I blushed like mad.
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT!
"W-WHAT?! N-NO!" I frantically denied, feeling totally mortified.
Luckily, Sasuke somehow didn't hear our conversation...
I walked up to the bathroom doorway and stood there, while the rest stood behind me, awaiting for Sasuke to do his duty.
Sasuke groaned, really annoyed, and he went on his knees in front of the toilet. Twitching, he stared down at the toilet water in total disgust, and he looked so pissed off. The Uchiha then took a deep breath, exhaled, and reluctantly licked the toilet seat for about one-point-five seconds.
Sasuke gagged so loudly that I literally thought he was going to die and the Uchiha quickly crawled towards the sink, stood, and repeatedly washed his mouth out with the water from the faucet.
Everyone laughed except for Ino.
"S-Sasuke-kun, are you okay?" Ino asked in concern and she put a hand onto her heart.
He ignored her.
I laughed so hard that my sides started hurting and said, "That's what you get! YOU BUTT!"
That's when Sasuke lost it; his temper had officially taken over.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
He tackled me to the floor and I started screaming.
"AH! HELP! RAPE!" I screamed as I was still laughing a bit, which made Sasuke even more angry, and I vigorously struggled to escape his grasp but couldn't because he was too darn strong.
"ASSHOLE! GET OFF OF HER!" Naruto roared and with all of his strength, he pulled Sasuke off of me.
Glaring at Naruto, Sasuke stood, brushed himself off, and then sat back down. "Humph! Idiots..."
With wide eyes, I sat back up, looked at Sasuke, and started to blush.
Did... Did he really tackle me just now? Geez, he's such a weirdo!
Naruto sighed and aloofly put his arms behind his head. "Damn. This game sure is deadly. But that sure was funny as hell! HAHA!"
Sasuke blushed slightly and growled. "SHUT UP, LOSER!"
I giggled and said, "Don't mess with me if you know what's good for you, Sasuke!"
The Uchiha glared at me, his eyes like daggers, and he then smirked. "It's my turn again, actually. Sakura: Truth or Dare?"
I wasn't stupid this time.
"Truth."
His smirk grew. "Who was your first kiss?"
Silence.
I blinked my eyes multiple times and I was blushing so much that my cheeks felt like they were being freaking cooked on a grill or something!
Is he really going to try to humiliate me AGAIN?!
By making me say that HE was my first kiss...?!
I then blushed even more at remembering the first time he kissed me.
That was so long ago. Well, I think...
"Y-You..." I finally said and I looked down in embarrassment, my cheeks on a blushing rampage. "I-It's not like you d-didn't k-know that t-though... B-Butt."
He smirked. "Hn."
"Well, of course he was your first kiss, Sakura-san! We all just saw you kiss him for the first time just now!" Lee loudly exclaimed.
Eyes widening, I blushed, and frantically shook my head. "N-No! T-That... That wasn't the first-"
I then gasped and covered my mouth, realizing what I had just said!
Ino let out a dramatic gasp as rage could be then all over her face and she pointed at me. "YOU GUYS KISSED BEFORE?! THE HELL?! FOREHEAD, YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!"
She started to crack her knuckles.
My face turned bluer than a blueberry as I twitched in fear and shuddered. "U-Uh... I... U-Um... I-I..."
So much for her being my friend...
Hinata then came to my rescue. "U-Um... I-It's y-your t-turn, S-Sakura-chan..."
THANK YOU!
I nervously nodded with a gulp. "R-Right. U-Um... Hinata: Truth or Dare?"
She thought for a moment and blushed. "U-Uh... T-Truth?"
I could have gave her a bunch of horrible questions to answer but I like Hinata, so I decided to not do that crap.
"What's your favorite color?" I casually asked with a smile.
Sasuke twitched in annoyance. "You're such an idiot! You-"
I glared at him. "Shut up! Butt-Face!"
Naruto laughed and held his stomach. "Ooh burn! Nice one, Sakura-chan!"
"Thanks Naruto..." I said while smiling at him and blushed.
Sasuke growled and elbowed the blond boy.
Naruto groaned. "Ow! Asshole!"
Hinata blushed and played with her fingers. "U-Uh... P-Purple..."
I smiled and closed my eyes. "That's a nice color. Okay! It's your turn, Hinata! Ask away!"
"U-Um... O-Okay. S-Sakura-chan... T-Truth or D-Dare?" she timidly asked and continued to play with her fingers.
"Truth!" I cheerfully replied.
I knew she wouldn't be too evil on me...
She blushed and asked, "H-How... H-How m-many t-times h-have you b-been k-kissed...?"
I blinked my eyes in shock and her question was rather daunting since I totally wasn't expecting her to ask THAT!
Eyes growing wide, I uncontrollably blushed at remembering all the times that I was kissed by my two teammates, and started to count on my fingers.
With every count, I blushed even more, and my eyes grew more wide...
"One... Two... T-Three... Four... Five... Six... S-Seven... Eight... N-Nine..."
Silence.
Everyone but Naruto and Sasuke stared at me in shock.
Although, my teammates did look at me with much suspicion, probably thinking, 'Hey I didn't kiss her THAT many times!'
"W-WHAT?! Y-YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A B-BOYFRIEND?! H-HOW IS THAT T-TRUE?!" Ino demanded enraged.
"T-That's a-a l-lot of k-kisses for someone who is t-thirteen..." Hinata reluctantly remarked and she blushed.
"Can I kiss you, Sakura-san?!" Lee eagerly asked me while blushing.
My cheeks instantly turned rosy-red and I flinched.
W-WHAT?!
Sasuke then gave him the death-glare and Lee started to whimper like a cute little puppy.
"U-Uh... A-Alright. U-Um... My turn..." I started nervously and continued on, "Sasuke: Truth or Dare?"
Sasuke huffed and rolled his eyes. "Hn. Me again? Tch. Truth."
I started to giggle and a huge smile spread across my lips.
Oh, he has no idea what question I have for him! Heehee.
"Okay. Your lover has been magically transformed into an animal, and the only way to restore your lover is to mate with them. Here's the question: Which animal would cause you the least psychological damage?" I asked while suppressing my laughter from within and my smile remained.
Sasuke gave me a weird look but pondered for a minute.
"Hn. A turtle."
•*•*•Two hours later•*•*•
The six of us had continued to play our intense game of Truth or Dare. It was so intense that Sasuke got so pissed off that he left the room at one point and I had to go and freaking console him.
After the Truth or Dare game, we all went downstairs, and watched Boy Toasty on the couch while eating chocolate ice cream. The boys kept getting really annoyed with us girls squealing like fangirls, especially Sasuke.
At one point, we all got super cold, probably from eating the ice-cream, and the six of us all shared a blanket.
Sasuke sat on the corner of the couch located on the right side and I was sitting right next him the entire time while Naruto sat besides me on the left side.
Lee sat on the corner of the couch located on the left side and Ino sat next to him and then Hinata, who sat by Naruto.
Sometimes, Sasuke would put his arm over the couch, making me blush because I thought he was going to put his arm around me, but he never did.
However...
Under the blanket, he did put his hand on top of mine, which caused me to have a mini heart attack because it startled me THAT much, and my cheeks went on another blushing rampage.
I honestly was too scared to move as my heart rapidly pulsated and so his hand rested there for awhile...
Oh yeah. My parents arrived home after we got done watching Boy Toasty and the six of us finished watching it around midnight...
They're such weirdos!
Erm... Anyways...
The boys all slept downstairs and us girls slept in my room.
I let Hinata sleep in my bed while Ino and I slept on the floor.
We had all fallen asleep after a few minutes of just girl talk and what not.
That's when I then woke up in the middle of the night...
I tried going back to sleep but couldn't for some reason.
So, I decided to get some fresh air, and I successfully went out onto my balcony without waking up anybody.
The moon was so beautiful; so radiant. It really mesmerized me...
With sad eyes, I then looked down at the locket that Sasuke had given me for my birthday, and the wind embraced me.
Suddenly, I heard two voices from above, and it sounded like they were coming from on top of my roof.
I looked up with fierce eyes.
Eavesdropping round three.
After seconds of trying to listen to the conversation, I realized that it was Sasuke who was talking, and some other dude I didn't know.
I was scared.
"Come join us, boy. Lord Orochimaru can grant you great power. Remember your purpose! Don't you care about your friends? You could hurt them by accident with that mark... What's the use of trying to protect them from others when you can't even protect them from yourself? Especially with that girl that you like so much. You don't want anything to happen to her, right? Come with us and you can tame the mark and use it's power responsibly. You can finally get your revenge. Come with us-"
"NO! Sasuke! Don't listen to this creep!" I shouted, cutting the creepy dude off as I jumped onto my rooftop, and my eyes fought the tears that were coming. "Don't leave!"
I was standing a few feet behind the creepy dude and Sasuke was ahead of me.
My eyes then widened in horror at what I saw next...
Sasuke's curse mark had spread all throughout his body and it looked like he had been fighting this guy judging by the dirt and scratches on him; his Sharingan was even activated.
At the speed of light, the creepy guy then heartlessly grabbed my throat with his strong hands, leaving me without air. My eyes were wide with fear and small ragged gasps were escaping my throat.
"SAKURA!" Sasuke screamed in distress.
The creepy guy choking me chuckled. "If you want to save your little girlfriend, then come with me. Leave the village. Then I'll let her live. It's up to you..."
Suddenly, I could then feel the curse mark spread all throughout my body while glowing in the radiant moonlight and a surplus of incredible power surged through my veins.
"Hn. Fine. I'll leave the village. Now let her go!-"
"NOOOOOO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs while clawing my fingers at my captors hands with shocking strength, preventing him from choking me any further, and with unreal force, I kicked the creepy guy in the gut, sending him flying.
Once letting go of me, I gasped for air as my curse mark quickly receded, and fell forward, about to collapse.
"Sakura!" Sasuke shouted in concern and he then caught me by the shoulders, his curse mark receding as well.
I then heard an eerie laugh from behind me but didn't turn around because my body felt so weak.
It was obviously the creepy guy.
"So... You both have the curse mark, eh? How interesting. I'll leave for now but I'll be back much later... Don't you worry my kiddies. Mwhahaha!"
He then did his retarded evil laugh and disappeared, I'm guessing.
"Sakura, are you okay?" Sasuke asked and his hands still remained on my shoulders.
Regaining some of my strength, I stood tall, tears now flowing out of my eyes, and yelled, "Sasuke, don't EVER leave! P-Please... Remember your promise to me! Besides, that creepy guy and his other weirdos will probably just try to attack our village anyway! We don't need Orochimaru and his weirdo minions to tame this curse mark! We can do it together! S-So... Don't leave!-"
Before I could say anymore, he firmly wrapped his arms around my back, and pulled me into a tender hug.
"I just don't want to lose you too."
His voice. It was so soft, so sad...
More tears fell from my eyes and I hugged him back.
"You won't. I promise..." I whispered.
He didn't say anything and just continued to hug me tighter.
The moon has never looked so bright...
