~The Beginning and End of Everything Part II~
Cards were laid on the floor...a royal flush...and a full house. Neji and Sakura looked at each other as if to figure out each other's strategy to win the game. A victorious smile curled up from Neji as he laid his winning cards...and Sakura's emerald green eyes widened. 1-12. One loss and twelve wins for Sakura. ((You go girl!!))
"Winner takes all," Neji winked at the pink-haired girl. He bent forward with his hands on the ground and leaned closer to his girlfriend and the two closed their eyes to share a warm lasting kiss. As the two were making out, Sakura carelessly dropped her own cards and with her free arms, they wrapped around Neji...whose arms were embracing her small waist. Small kisses on Sakura's neck left some trail marks on them like a delicate tattoo...
Sakura could feel her body press toward Neji's warm body which was heating up from their smooch. Neji ran through the smooth pink hair with his strong hands and petted her head as he could hear Sakura making love noises. The two were trapped in their own time, not caring what is happening in the present...only caring what mattered now.
A few minutes later, the door swung opened and Sakura and Neji immediately stopped making out with each other. Their eyes were faced with a disappointed look from Hinata and Naruto who were arm in arm with each other.
"Excuse us," Naruto smiled as he held an arm behind his head, "you two...uh...go back to your lov'in," Naruto nervously drew Hinata away from the bedroom, and Sakura blushed slightly as Neji fell backwards with his arms behind his head to cushion from the slight fall.
A few inches from the door, Naruto reminded them, "Oh yeah...Temari is having an auction off of her clothes, since she can't fit them into her suitcase, so come on downstairs in the living room...it's going to start in a few minutes," Naruto waved the couple on the floor goodbye as Hinata followed him like a quiet little puppy.
~*~
Naruto walked hand in hand with his beloved down the stairs and as Naruto headed to the living room. A few minutes later, the rest of the roommates gathered together downstairs in the same room while Temari stood at the center of the room. The blonde cleared her throat to get the other's attention and then smiled.
"Tonight is supposed to be our last night to sleep in this beach house," Temari started. Neji and Sakura sat together in the couch in the middle facing directly at the blonde who was talking while Naruto and Hinata sat on Sakura's side, and Lee and Ten-Ten sat on Neji's side. Gaara, on the other hand, sat with Sasuke on the soft floor near Naruto's feet and Shikamaru and Ino sat on the other side of the room waiting for Temari to finish.
"I will start off with this beautiful lavender tank top and accompanying it is this long lasting denim jacket...and the price to start with is 2000 yen," ((I get confused with Japan's currency compared to America's)) There was a slight groan from the girls while the guys smiled as they waited for the action to begin.
"Any takers?" Temari looked at Ino...and then at Sakura...then Ten-Ten...and Hinata, "no takers? Aw, well that's a shame..." Temari made sure to show the clothes to every girl in the house.
"I'll take it for 2000 yen, " Shikamaru raised his hand up high. Temari cocked her head to the side and tried to replay what he had said. Every girl and especially the guys looked suspiciously at Shikamaru as he smiled.
"Well...so far we have 2000 yen going once, twice..."
"2001 yen!!" Sakura defiantly stood up with her hand in the air as if to proclaim her territory. Knowing what to expect, the roommates looked at Ino and smiled.
"No you don't Sakura!! 3000 yen!!" Ino stood up and looked at Temari. Ino could feel Sakura burying her eyes into her and steam and anger was steaming out of the pink-haired girl's ears.
"Temari, make that 3001 yen!"
Temari smiled triumphantly at the auction, "We have Sakura claiming the purple top and denim jacket!! For 3001 yen, going once! Going twice! "
"Shut up Sakura!! You are SO cheap!! Saying a cent after each amount...go shop at Goodwill!!" ((^_^)) Ino crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"FINE!! TEMARI MAKE THAT A 5000 YEN!!!" Sakura looked angrily at Ino. Whispers and mutterings went around the roommates as they witnessed the auction which is obviously fought between the well-known rivals, Ino and Sakura.
"Wow, keep up going up the price!! 5000 Yen!! Going once, twice..." Temari looked at Ino as if to wait for her answer.
"8000 yen," Hinata calmly stood up before the other girls and smiled at Temari.
A surprised look was displayed on Sakura's and Ino's face. They simply just froze in their position as Temari finished the auction off, "SOLD to HYUGA HINATA!! THANK YOU FOR THE GENEROUS AMOUNT!!" Temari handed the clothes to Hinata who then sat down with her prize.
An hour passed at the auction, and as Temari made her final selection she told them, "Ok, here is the last shirt that is off to auction...huh?" Temari looked down at her bag and scrutinized at the shirt she was about to sell. A question mark appeared before her head and then shrugged it off.
"A ramen shirt," Temari held it up as if she didn't care. Only one roommate in the audience smiled at the selection.
"Starting at 6000 yen," Temari yawned.
"WHAT THE HELL?? 6000 yen JUST FOR THAT SHIRT?!?!?!?!?!" Naruto stood up with a fist up in the air.
"Do you want it or not?" Temari smiled waving the shirt in front of him.
"I will buy it from you if you lower it," Naruto said.
"5000,"
"100," Naruto suggested. The roommates turned their heads to Naruto.
"No way!! 5000!!"
"100!!"
"5000!!"
"NOO!!! 100!!"
"Fine...4999 yen!!"
"What the fuck?"
"Hee hee," Temari giggled.
"Why would anyone want to buy a shirt that has the icon ramen on it just for 4999 yen?" Naruto looked to the others, and much to his surprise...they all turned away from him. ^_^
"You want it or not, Naruto?"
"3000" Naruto sighed.
"3999," Temari shot back.
"Wha????" Naruto asked.
"3999, take it of leave it,"
"No!! Just make it 100 and then we'll call it a day,"
The two were debating on the prices until Gaara remarkably stood up and claimed the shirt, "3999 yen," All of the other roommates in the house looked at him as if he was fish. ((huh?))
Naruto gazed at Gaara as he walked up to claim the shirt. "Auction is over everybody," all the roommates went back to their rooms while Naruto and Hinata stayed behind.
"I wanted that shirt," Naruto whispered.
"I know you do, Naruto-kun, here I'll make you feel better," Hinata pulled him to his bedroom and slammed the door shut behind him. ((Wow))
"Hinata?" Naruto whispered in the darkness. Nightfall crept among the shadows of the room, as it prepared for its hours of darkness.
A light flickered in the corner and then was turned on. Hinata went toward Naruto with her pallid eyes full of sincerity and happiness. Naruto had an uneasy grin written across his face as Hinata coyly motioned Naruto to sit next to her on his bed. The blonde let out a sigh and followed her orders and while he sat there with Hinata, her warm hand found its way to his own's and squeezed it tight, as if to never let go.
"I love you Naruto-kun, you do know that right?" Hinata slowly looked up to her right and into those electric blue eyes that she had often found herself drooling for.
"Uh...yeah Hinata, I love you too," Naruto scratched his head with his other hand that was free. When he smiled at her, Hinata didn't respond back with a grin...she winked at him.
"Here you go," Hinata held the ramen shirt up to Naruto.
"No, you didn't," Naruto couldn't believe his eyes.
"Gaara knew you wanted it, so he bought it just for you,"
"Thanks,"
"No problem...I'd do anything for you Naruto-kun,"
"Love you very much,"
"Me, too," the two shared a kiss and without knowing it, time passed by really fast.
~*~
"Do you have everything in your bags Ino?" Sakura seemed to have recovered from the auction quite fast as she flashed Ino a friendly smile.
"Yeah, Shikamaru is loading my other stuff into a van that's driving me home,"
"Ooh, Shikamaru?"
"He is just a friend,"
"Right..." Sakura smiled as she walked down the stairs with her luggage behind her back. Lee and Ten-Ten were busy staring at each other like a loving couple while Gaara and Temari put their luggage on the ground waiting for everyone to arrive. Neji waved at her and Sakura ran over to him.
"Hi," she smiled.
"Hey,"
"How was your sleep?" Sakura asked.
"Great, you?" Neji answered.
"It was great," Sakura smiled. Nearby Naruto and Hinata brought their stuff out while Naruto was reading from his checklist and Hinata was checking it for him.
"Spicy Ramen? Check. Extra Oriental Mix Ramen? Check. Hmm...let's see...do we have Chicken Ramen? Ok, check." Naruto marked off the ones he had on the list. Later, when all of the roommates were out...their "next door neighbors" came by.
"Hoy!! Naruto!!" Kakashi saluted him a greeting.
"Good morning, Kakashi-sensei!! What brings you here?" Naruto went up to him while the others listened.
"Well...I just came by to tell you that the tapes that we've been recording is now up for sale!! 529 yen for each!!" the roommates fell backward when they heard this. Kakashi laughed at the response and shook his head.
"Nah, I'm just messing with you guys," Kakashi grinned beneath his well-hidden mask that covered half of his face.
"Ok, well then what is the real reason you came here?"
"Naruto..." Kakashi continued.
"THE OTHER SENSEI'S AND I TRICKED YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN!!! HEHEHEHEHEHHE!!!!" Kakashi smiled. The young ninjas didn't know what he was talking about and Kakashi stopped laughing.
"Okay, to lay it out in layman's terms here...we tricked you,"
Silence.
"Ok, we fooled you..."
Silence...once again.
"You guys don't have to move out!! I tricked you into packing all of your stuff out of the house, hehehhe!! Damn, I'm good!!" Kakashi looked at each of the bewildered faces that were written everywhere on their faces.
"You liar!!! How could you trick us??" Sakura furiously flung her suitcase which hit a not-paying-attention-to-any-harm-that-might-be-done-Kakashi. While the sensei was recovering from the hit, the roommates celebrated their stay at the beach house...again.
"We're really staying here for good, huh Kakashi-sensei??" Naruto smiled.
"As long as you want, Naruto...as long as you all want," Kakashi bid everyone farewell as he slowly walked back to the house next door.
