Together
Chapter twelve
Tsunade sighed as she walked up to the stairs slowly, her long black dress trailing behind her. She didn't really want to have this fancy Formal. Thanks to Kakashi, this Godaime was forced to arrange this. She shook head helplessly, she rather go back to her warm office and work. She didn't remember clearly but Kakashi said something about Sakura and Sasuke…? Tsunade arched an eyebrow as she darted her light eyes across the hall, they landed on Naruto's table.
Sakura, in a light blue dress was fidgeting nervously. Tsunade smiled proudly, her smart student decided she would come. She frowned as she saw Sasuke. Folding his arms across his chest, looking like he was about to fall asleep. Naruto was very excited about the food. She then sighed. Typical boys. She approached the microphone.
"Good evening…" She cleared her throat. The noises faded away.
"I see everyone is here." Tsunade said. She paused as she looked at the shinobis. She smiled. "Please enjoy yourselves and the food will be arriving soon." She then walked slowly downstairs.
Sakura smiled then said. "That was very nice of her." No one seemed to be listening to her. But she didn't care. Sakura wanted a jacket to cover her up.
"Your dress is very nice." Tenten commented suddenly, reading her thoughts. Sakura smiled shyly then said. "Thanks, yours is very nice too."
Tenten grinned. "Yeah, Neji picked for me." Sakura found herself laughing. Neji? Picking a dress for his girlfriend? That is so… not Neji. Neji's lips twitched slightly. Tenten indeed looked very pretty in that dress, her hair was piled on top of her head with little ringlets dropping down to frame her pretty, face. The gown she wore was a deep emerald green. It had a long skirt, a crepe neck, as it draped gracefully over the contours and curves of her body. Sakura sighed. It is going to be a long night…

"Are you going to dance with me?" Reika asked in irritation. It was the first time Sasuke had seen her angry. His eyes were on Sakura as Lee asked her to dance, she had answered without hesitation. Her eyes were smiling. "No." He said simply.
"Fine." She snapped, and ran off. Sasuke's lips curled into a satisfied smile. He was the only one in the table that was not dancing. A couple of giggling girls ran to him and asked him, he had gave them an annoying glare and told them to go away. After a couple of moments, Naruto had run to the table grabbing a few drinks. "That was awesome."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. "Are you drinking alcohol?" Naruto gave him a sheepish grin. "In a matter of fact, yes. I'm not drinking that much though." He glanced back at Hinata, and then smiled. "It was so cool. I got to kiss her twice!" Then he ran off, grabbing Hinata.
Sasuke cursed under his breath. His eyes were on Sakura and Lee, she was holding his neck, and her head was resting on his shoulder. His arms snaked around Sakura's thin waist. He looked so happy. Sasuke once again, looked not satisfied.
"More food sir?"
Sasuke's snapped back and saw the face of a waitress. "No, it's okay." He replied. The waitress was gone before he noticed. He turned his head back to the dancing floor, to his surprise; Lee and Sakura weren't there.

"Sakura-san, the song is getting faster." Lee said quietly. Sakura smiled faintly. "I know." Then she pushed away from his embrace. "I'm thirsty, let's get a drink, neh?" Lee looked disappointed, but he hid it and nodded. To his dismay, Sakura didn't link his arm or give him a peck on the cheek. He realized that she is hung over Sasuke.
She already disappear into his view, Lee walked slowly to the table. Sasuke was nowhere in sight. Probably dancing with that pretty girl. Sakura gulped down three cups of water.
"Hi Lee-san." She said happily, her face flushed as she came running over to him. Lee stared at her; a slow grin crept across his lips. Oh yeah! She's falling for me! Watch me go Gai-Sensei! I'm taking the Youth of Blooming Flower! He grabbed her hands and dragged her to the dance floor. Sakura giggled.
Oh she smells so good. Lee thought happily, holding Sakura close.
"Let's dance…" Sakura murmured against his chest. Lee stared down at the pretty girl. "Sakura-san, are you alright?" He asked in concern.
"Of course Lee-san! I'm always alright!" Sakura said happily. Then her smile turned into a deep frown. "I'm not okay when he left me…"
Who is he? Lee wondered. He then glanced at the bottle that she was drinking. His eyes widened. "Sakura-san, uh, are you drunk?"
Sakura started to cry, huge tears rolling down her face. She fell on her knees and sat on the floor. Lee looked around desperately, and then spotted Tenten and Neji, dancing together, who were eyeing them with great interest. Lee gave his teammates a pleading look. Tenten sighed, and then she ran over to him to see what had happened.
"Sakura, don't cry, you're going to run your mascara." Tenten said smoothly, a hand placing on her shoulder. "Sakura, don't cry." She said firmly. Sakura shook her head, tears didn't stop, Lee then realized the 'he' she was talking about was Sasuke.
"I think she's drunk." Lee said quietly.
"I can see that." Tenten said sarcastically. "I need help."

Sasuke cursed again as the fourth girl asked him if he would like to dance. He gave her an angry look and told her to piss off. She looked hurt and mumbled something before she ran away. He pushed pass the people, ignoring angry protests. He didn't care what they think.
He then suddenly spotted Lee. Sasuke smirked, it seems like Sakura ditched him. His smirk faded as his dark eyes trailed down onto the floor, an unconscious Sakura was lying in Tenten's arms.
"What is going on?" He asked, he pressed his lips together.
"Sakura is drunk…" Tenten started.
"Drunk?" Sasuke asked, an eyebrow arched, "that's nice."
Tenten's eyes narrowed. "What's your problem? Sakura fainted okay? She was crying before she fainted. Well do you want to know why? It's because you left her."
"Watch what you're saying girl." Sasuke said, turning his head away, looking disgusted.
"Uchiha." A familiar cold voice was heard from the crowd. Sasuke's eyes narrowed and he looked at the man's face. "Hyuuga." He said in a exact tone. They stared at each other, glaring.
Naruto cleared his throat to break this horrible silence. "Sasuke, why don't you take Sakura-chan home, neh?" Sasuke turned his attention to the fox boy. "Taking her home?" He asked, amused. It sounded like a joke.
"Yes, take her home." Naruto sighed. "It isn't hard. All you do is take her, bring her to her house, and settle down to her bed." A grin spread across his face. "But if you want to do more-"
"Okay, I get it! I'm taking her." Sasuke snapped, he lifted her carefully by the waist and shoulder and walked out.

Sasuke had placed her softly onto her bed. She was still asleep. He looked down at the girl. Her face was calm; a few teardrops still lingered around her lashes. The last time he had seen her cry; he recall was when they had got out from Itachi's prison. It was beautiful when she cried. He looked around in her room. It wasn't big. Sasuke didn't enter from the front door; he simply jumped to her window. Hopefully her parents were still asleep.
Sasuke stared at the picture beside her bed. It was when they were twelve years old. He looked at himself, he didn't look happy, but looked annoyed. Then he looked at Sakura, she was smiling brightly, partly because of Sasuke was with her. She stirred. He yelled in surprised as Sakura locked her arms around him firmly, pulling her down to her bed. A tingle of faint blush appeared onto his face. He struggled, trying to get away. But failed. Her breathing made him stop. His head was firmly pressed against her chest. Too bad she's asleep. He had to get away, or God knows what he would do.
To his horror, Sakura opened her eyes.
"Sasuke-kun!" She immediately released her arms away from his neck and sat up so quickly that he nearly fell onto the ground.
"I'm so sorry!" She said, blushing, she was glad it was dark. He didn't speak, nor did she. It was her who broke the silence. "How did I get here?"
"I brought you."
Sakura stared up at him for a moment, her jade like eyes sparkled even when it is in the dark. "Thank you." She said softly. She was grateful Thank you…
"Whatever."
Sakura thought for a while then asked. "What happened to me?"
"You were drunk." Sasuke said in monotone.
"I was drunk?" Sakura asked in shock. "I didn't say anything stupid, did I?" Her face showed fear, hope, pain and desire.
Yes, about me. "No." Sasuke thought.
Sakura sighed with relieve. "Thank you."
He was suddenly aware that she was so close to him. Sakura tilted her head back, leaning up and kissed him on the lips. Sasuke's eyes widened with surprise and gone stiff, the kiss was filled with frustration, and desire. As they kissed, he felt a shiver of delight go through his body. He felt her body pres against his and the feeling of her body was part of it. Sakura had then pulled away, face flushed. "Thank you." It was all what she said.
To be continued…
