Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, the great Masashi Kishimoto does. Yeah! Datte Bayo!

Naruto: Hey that's my line..and what's this about letting the viewers vote on couples.. I want to be with Sakura..

Suzu: If you don't hush I'll pair you with Akamaru.. And he'll give you fleas.

Naruto: I'll hush as long as I can say the line..

Suzu: Fine you can announce the chapter..

Naruto: Yeah! Chapter 3: Takamichi Beach: Surprises In Store! Dattebayo!

Sakura: Naruto no baka. (rolls her eyes)

Setting out for the normal bridge as usual with a new pink tote that read princess on the side to carry her brand new beach accessories in Sakura set out for the usual meeting spot. The red railed bridge, she just hoped Kakashi wouldn't be late. "Hey forhead girl!" a smug voice sounded behind her causing her twitch. Turning slowly, none other behind her was Yamanka Ino, rival in love with Sasuke along with countless other things. "You hush Ino-pig!" Sakura said a vein at her left temple to emphasize anger as she pointed towards the blonde blue eyed smart mouth daughter of the ikebana practice.

"Give it up Sakura.. Sasuke-kun is obviously mine." She grinned while bringing her index finger and thumb to her forehead almost in a way to mock her as she made the loser symbol. Upon seeing this Inner Sakura flared in a pink fiery background with a fist raised. 'Loser hunh! I'm not the one who likes Nara Shikamaru but totally denies it!' Sakura grinned at this, her inner self was totally right about that. 'You know she totally crushes on two guys!' She suddenly decided to talk to her other self who was pleased to talk back. 'Yeah and she competes with you for Sasuke-kun, while she knows that we're the best!' A maniacal giggle resounded from Inner Sakura's lips as Sakura just stood grinning on the path from her house towards the way to the bridge. 'What's up with Forehead-girl?' Ino wondered to herself with a look of curiosity, or more like a look of pure freaked surprise. "Anyways Ino-chan I'll see you later." She ginned and continued on her way giving a confident wave, to her childhood friend. 'Sakura-chan it seems that ever since the Chuunin exam, and the compliment I gave you, you've been on a high pedestal. Time to knock you down a few pegs away from Sasuke-kun somehow. Blue eyes watched as the fleeting Chinese style dress continued to walk away in the distance.

"Ohayou Sakura-chan!" Naruto waved, as Sasuke just stood to the side as usual with his Uchiha brand smirk. "Dobe, why do you bother everyone first thing in the morning?" Sasuke simply asked while turning a midnight ocular towards the carnation tinted locks then back before he was seen doing it. 'She looks nice today, unlike Naruto..' Sasuke looked towards Naruto whom was wearing his idea of a beach bum ensemble, an orange t-shirt that said Ninja on it and blue shorts. Sasuke was wearing a tee-shirt of the usual color of his normal clothes and shorts of the same color. Sakura blushed and looked away shyly upon seeing his wardrobe, she on the other hand had passed on changing until reaching until getting to the beach.

"Yo!" A seemingly cheerful voice reverberated in the area as Kakashi suddenly appeared from nowhere in a cloud of leaves and smoke, wearing something practical. A black tee-shirt and shorts the normal color of his vest. He still had the mask on though, that was strange in away.. To all three of his students. 'Geez what is he horribly scarred?' Naruto thought, as Sasuke on the other hand just stared. Sakura just blinked but her Inner self spoke up for her. 'He never takes that damn thing off! I wonder if he would even take it off when he showers!' Sakura giggled at this comment. Even she too a delicate cherry blossom had to wonder that too.. A mental image suddenly popped into her mind of Kakashi in the shower with his mask still on, she shook it off as a blush came to her face. 'No bad thought, bad thought!'

"Sakura, if you're quite finished now, we can began our trek to the beach now." Kakashi interrupted her, while Naruto was just wondering what was just so funny, Sasuke looked thoroughly annoyed at being held up. That was usually Naruto's job wasn't it? Wasn't it! Grabbing her items she began to follow behind Sasuke and Naruto like she usually did, her thoughts on her own. 'I can't believe this.. I feel so stupid, Sasuke-kun looked at me yesterday like he could burn holes through me..' Not stopping to see where she was going, basically not hearing Kakashi say stop. Sakura tumbled into Sasuke falling over onto him, making him fall over.

Sakura's POV:

I was walking not paying any attention, hey that's not normal for me! Let's be honest that's a Naruto thing! I hadn't heard Kakashi say stop. I had continued walking straight into the male Uchiha whom I had hoped to someday help restore his clan one day. I Felt myself stumble before flesh connected, before I knew it was I sitting on top of Sasuke-kun! I felt a mad crimson reach my cheeks as I slowly gained my surroundings. "N-Nani?" I asked while looking down into a pair of surprised onyx eyes. I stumbled off clumsily, my heart pounding this was better than a kiss I had just straddled Sasuke-kun!

Sasuke's POV:

I had thought that Naruto had bumped into me at first, until I looked over and so the baka on my other side. I paused and tried to think for a moment.. The only other person it could be was Sakura but she always listened to Kakashi, then again she had been around Naruto too much lately maybe he was rubbing off on her. I felt myself tumble to the ground, I looked up into oculars of brilliant jade, ones I actually admired for their color but wouldn't admit. I was an avenger dammit! I had Itachi to kill! The weasel. Her chest pressed against mine temporarily, I paused I was sure I would be ashamed if a blush painted my cheeks in that instant, but she was just so close. In the next instant she had stumbled off looking like she had done something wrong.

Authoress POV:

Sakura bowed to Sasuke with a small word of, "Gomen nasai." elapsing from her lips before going ahead of the three, this way distractions wouldn't be made. "Ne, Sasuke-teme! Leave Sakura-chan alone!" Naruto chimed in, which caused a blush on Sakura's visage as Kakashi simply grinned at his students. Around an hour or so later of bickering and playing I Spy on Naruto's part, Sakura and Sasuke, as well as Kakashi only joined in to shut him up. Sakura punched him on the head when he finally said something along the lines of something like: " I spy with my little eye, something the color green." After around 45 minutes of guessing Sakura gave up of course Sasuke knew at once what it was. It was her eyes. "Naruto-kun! You moron! I can't see my own eyes that doesn't count!" She smashed him into the dirt with her fist, while Kakashi sighed. "Team 7 it's only about 30 more meters till our destination." This got them moving.

Upon arriving, Sakura was met with the most irritating of greetings from an Ino clad in a purple tankini with the same gold rings she wore with her normal ninja outfit. "Hey Forehead-girl!" Sakura twitched and turned around. "Hello Ino-pig." Sakura smirked. Behind Ino was the usual, Shikamaru in swim trunks, Chouji in a t-shirt and shorts. "Sasuke-kun!" Ino bellowed with a blush on her cheeks as she began her vixen-like flirting. Latching onto his chest she nuzzled into his shoulder with a giggle. "So nice to always see you Sasuke-kun.."

'How dare she put the moves on our Sasuke-kun?' Inner Sakura screeched while holding crossed arms, and remarkably her outer self was doing the same. "Ino-pig let go of Sasuke!" Sakura tugged Ino off of Sasuke, with a little too much strength, perhaps a little foreshadowing that she would make a great apprentice for Tsunade in the future? Everyone stared in amusement as well as horror as Ino had landed on a laughing Naruto's lips, with her own. They both pulled away coughing and gagging. 'Oh my god, it tastes like ramen..' Ino thought to herself while laying on her knees upon the sand as the Teachers just sat on fold out chairs. It seemed the true meaning for them was to watch their students make fools of themselves and to laugh their asses off in the process. "Sakura you are so going to pay for that!" Ino suddenly smirked after regaining her composure and made the hand seals for Shintenshin no jutsu. Making an aim for Sakura she held and beheld as she was off guard and it actually worked. 'Now lets just hope I'm not drove out like last time..' Ino now in Sakura's body though Naruto wasn't aware of it, grabbed him fast by the shoulders and captured his lips. Shikamaru's mouth stood open as he wondered as to where, Ino had learned where to kiss like that.

Naruto responded by slowly kissing Ino-Sakura back, guiding his tounge slowly from his own mouth to meet her own lip. This earned a light gasp of surprise from Ino-Sakura. Running his tongue in he met with hers and they began a battle for dominance. Hands guiding along her hips, she pulled away with a blush, then it was time for the coup de grace for Ino. 'Kai release!' Releasing Sakura, she watched as Naruto caught her back into the kiss, and ran his hands once back along her hips in a gentle manner. Sakura blushed and gasped, Naruto smirked and took the opportunity to explore her mouth with his pink muscle. 'No way! Is this Naruto! He's a good kisser, than again.. This is our first kiss.. Wait wait! Sasuke-kun was supposed to be our first kiss!' Inner Sakura yelled but was pulled between the emotions she was feeling now, and her emotions for Sasuke.

"She looks like she enjoys it!' Ino thought, with a flabbergasted look as the two finally pulled away. "Umm Naruto-kun that was a mistake.." Sakura began with a blush on her cheeks, as he just stood there grinning looking like he was in heaven.

Sasuke looked towards Sakura with a smirk, in his opinion what she just did, sparing the dobe's feelings was a lot better than what she usually did. Considering she was usually a giggly Uchiha fan girl. With that he decided to walk along the water of the shore as it bubbled along his feet with tide washing in and out. Maybe Sakura wasn't so bad..

Preview:

Hinata and Kiba sat along the beaches sand with a pail in hand, a yip came from Akamaru indicating he was happy. "K-Kiba-kun.. Can we build a sand castle?" Hinata asked with a smile as well as a blush on her visage, Kiba who only looked to the Hyuuga heiress as a little sister grinned and gave a nod. "Hai, Hinata-chan."

"I can help you." A shadow loomed over the two, he had the appearance of a badger, just like his Jinnchuriki namesake, Shukaku. A small eep escaped Hinata's lips as Gaara just stood in his usual attire with the gourd on his back..
