First, I'd like to apologize for the lateness, due to some internet probs, but it's fine now. YAY! I reached over 100 reviews! And it's all thanks to you reviewers! Sniff sniff…Anyway, I promise from this point on to make this story continue until I can think of a sequel! Enjoy! R&R by the way, just want to say, that I've decided, to make these parts have bits of everything. I just hope you'll like the way I organize it…anyway, I will still have little scenes that focus on a couple, mainly Sasu/Saku and Hina/Naru. ENJOY! And I promise to make a chapter for Sasu/Saku getting married!
Chapter 12: The Summer Festival! Pt2!
"Alright, we split up, mess around and eat, then meet back here in four hours, that's when events start. After that, we watch the fire works at midnight and get back to the manor." Shikamaru said, everyone seemed to be in agreement. In four pairs, they split in different directions to enjoy the few hours alone...
"Sasuke, What do you want do?" Sakura asked as they walked down the streets. He growled irritated by the fact few of his fan girls were behind him watching them. He stopped and turned giving a scary glare with the help of his Sharingan. He smirked as they seemed to scatter away, getting the message.Sakura glared at the fan girls, giving them her evil stare. They glared back and seemed to disappear gradually
"Sasuke, why do those creeps always keep following us?" Sakura then started to notice a few men were staring at her with lustful eyes. Her nerves jumped slightly feeling Sasuke's arm snake around her waist. She watched in awe, as Sasuke seemed to scare off the men with onestony stare
"Because, they're all just envious, but they can't lay a finger on you...since you're mine. Besides,why wouldI ever glanced at those annoying female pests, I'll lose focus on protecting you…and besides…I'd slaughter them without a second thought if they ever touched you…" he whispered against her ear, nipping it softly. She blushed slight averting her eyes to the side, pouting.
"Well, I guess, but I sort of feel sorry for all those fan girls. I was one of them you know."
"Sakura…You do know that was 4 years ago when you, I have to admit, were a late bloomer." He said smiling as Sakura gave him her defiant stare.
"But you managed to catch my eye, since you are the most wanted in male fan clubs...and I'm way too possessive to let go of a blossom as attractive..." he said as she smiled embarrassed by his words.
"Well, I guess because you were gone for so long, and with all that time passing by, my infatuation of you started to fade."
"So you're saying that you've lost interest of me?"
"No, I'm saying, I don't need an obsession, when I already have the real thing. You." Sakura said giggling. Sasuke seemed to frown slightly at this.
"You wait here! I'll get some food." Sakura said as she walked toward a small booth that sizzled with an exotic smell of spicy roasted chicken kabobs, assorted with green bell peppers and sweet potatoes.
"I'll have two kabobs please."
"Sure thing, Sweetie!" Two familiar men said, Sakura looking closer. She looked and gasped. Both wearing their well-known skin tight green suits, bright orange leg warmers and Konoha belt, along with aprons, not to mention their shiny smile and hideous eyebrows as weird as ever, the pair stood proudly, sporting their fine bowl cut hair styles.
"Lee? Gai? What are you two doing here? Are you participating in the festival?"
"Oh nothing special, except for the fact that we're selling our spicy kabobs of our fiery love to all the lovely ladies, And might I say you look gorgeous today!" Lee said winking handing her the two kabobs, tears falling from his flaming eyes, like endless waterfalls.
"Oh Lee! I'm so proud!" Gai said as they both hugged, their 'sunset over the horizon' background moment showing.
"Uhh, Lee? Weren't you going out with a girl five years younger?"
"Well, I decided a body and strong spirit like this should be free and wild! Sadly we parted, and I still cry tears for her...yet I hope to find another beauty with the help of my beloved Gai Sensei! The greatest man, and my IDOL!"
Sakura sweatdropped, then noticing another familiar face serving the drinks, or rather half face.
"Kakashi! You're here too?" Sakura asked astounded by the coincidence. Kakashi stood wearing his usual outfit, and of course, his mask and slanted Konoha headband. In his hand an Icha Icha Paradise Volume 10, as he lazily read with one eye, scanning the graphic pictures of 100 porn. Without giving a glance, he skillfully prepared each drink with one hand. Smoothies, sodas, any liquid drinkable, he made them with one hand professionally, under three minutes. Many women seemed to line up occasionally, trying hard to get a reply with flirts.
"Well what a small world…on a date I assume?" he asked serving another girl, as he smiled at Sakura.
"And Sasuke seems to be on alert, I see." Kakashi said, Sakura looking behind, slightly surprised Sasuke was there.
"Sasuke! I'm sorry! I almost forgot! Here." She said, holding the kabob to his mouth. He chewed the chicken and veggies along with the stick. Sakura understood he was annoyed, getting the message bluntly from the slow cracking sound of the stick in his mouth. With one spit, the stick flew directly into the trash can 7 feet away like a rocket. Sakura sweatdropped as he gave a murderous glare toward the three.
"Sasuke! Don't worry! They didn't do anything! Honest! Please don't hurt them like the last time!" Sakura begged as Sasuke calmed himself a bit, but still glared at them nonetheless.
"Don't get so uptight Uchiha! Youth doesn't stay for so long!" Gai said patting him on the shoulder. Sakura and Kakashi sighed.
'He's a dead man…' they thought as Sasuke twitched. He swiftly grabbed Gai by the arm and sent him flying in the air like a shooting star. Lee instead of panicking, grinned, eyes filled with reborn tears.
"Gai-Sensei! He really is a star! And Sasuke! I will one day defeat you!" Lee added as he cooked the kabobs in an intense fired up manner.
"Well, that day won't come for quite a while, Sasuke is the best of the best!" Sakura said hugging Sasuke by the arm, cuddling into his arms adorably.
"Aw…Sasuke, looks like you have a cute wife and pet!" Kakashi said enthusiastically as Sakura started to blush bashfully.
"Kakashi! Don't make such foolish comments! Hahaha!" Sakura said laughing as she flapped her hands up and down like tornados, considering her monstrous strength, Oblivious she sent Kakashi flying, making him land head first in the trash. Sasuke smirked, patting his pet satisfied with her actions.
"Careful Kakashi! Sakura has inherited Tsunade-Sama's graceful strength! You mustn't toy with her!" Lee commented as Kakashi got up dizzy.
"That I am fully aware of…Thank goodness though she only has half the strength as Tsunade-Sama…or with a blow like that from the Hokage-Sama, I'd be a goner." Kakashi said nervously.
"Damn right." Sasuke said as the two walked away, looking around. Sakura looked at all the accessories and game booths.
"Sasuke! Let's play a few games! Look at that one! It looks like a tall thermometer!" she said gleefully.
"Welcome to the Chakra Meter! It's the meter that measures your chakra rate! All you need to do is place your hand on this circle of the scroll! Anyone up for the challenge! Whoever wins gets four free tickets to enter the Konoha Tournament! The prize of this tournament is 1,000,000 yen!" a man said in a red tailor suit and black top hat. Sakura raised her hand with Sasuke, along with many other men and women. One after another all seemed to reach at least the highest, halfway or less, 'average' or 'below'. A man was able to reach 'above average'. Sakura, who was up next, examined the ranks.
"Let's see, there's lose, below average, average, above average, perfect, and Flawless?" Wow, twenty meters of chakra must've required a lot to create this thing right?" she asked as the instructor nodded flattered. She placed her hand on the circle of the paper, and pressed her chakra against it. She waited patiently closing her eyes. She suddenly heard the crowd grow silent. She opened her eyes and looked up. Her chakra level read,
"Darn! I was so close! Just one inch away from flawless!" Sakura said pouting.
"You really didn't try did you?" Sasuke asked as Sakura nodded giggling. The crowd around them was awed by her level. The Instructor was speechless, dumbfounded. Sasuke, up next, placed his hand on the scroll.
"Do Ihave to try?" he said lazily as the instructor thought for a second.
"W-well, it really depends on you."
"Alright, I don't want to waste any of my chakra, so I guess this should be fine." He said, concentrating a little chakra into his hand.
BOOM
The meter exploded. The crowd and everyone's eyes seemed to widen. Sakura giggled once more.
"Sasuke, I think you overdid it."
"Maybe…But it was fun to end my turn with a boom." He said smirking at the gawking crowd and speechless instructor.
"Who are you?"
"We're the successors of Tsunade and Oruchimaru, or the next generation Legendary Sannin." Sasuke said smirking arrogantly as Sakura seemed annoyed with all the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' coming fro the crowd.
"Sasuke! You know it's not exactly good to just gloat…" sakura scolded as Sasuke frowned.
"Well they're going to find out soone or later. Besides, I'm just saying it now so they won't be as shocked when Naruto becomes Hokage, considering his status in this village." Sasuke said as Sakura's brow creased in though for a moment.
"True." She said as Sasuke grabbed the tickets from the instructor who seemed rather relieved they didn't come back for a second round.
"So, it says on these tickets, we're supposed to be at the ring by 4:30pm…so, judging by the sun's position, it should be around 3:12pm, if I'm not mistaken, and that would give us about 1 hour and 18 minutes!" Sakura said as Sasuke nodde in agreement, as they looked forother eventsto do to kill time.
"Sakura, let's go walking around elsewhere for a bit." Sasuke said, or commanded, either way, Sakura simply nodded, following beside him. As they walked farther away, the sounds of people and noises, seemed to vanish. They stopped for a rest in front of a pond on a wooden bench, tall trees surrounding the area.
"This is nice…" Sakura said smiling, as she snuggled closer into his shoulder.
"Sakura…Do you still have the ring I gave you when I first preposed, right now?" he asked as Sakura nodded, yet puzzled him, to the fact her fingers were bare. Sakura, noticing this, smiled as she slightly loosened her yukata, around her neck, a threadlike chain. At the bottom of the chain, held a ring. The ring was pure silver, embedded was a single priceless and diamond cut, huge pink gem.
"Sasuke, I'd rather keep it under my clothes because first,it's one of the most important things, not to mention expensive in my life. And Secondly, you are the only man who's seen me…without anything on…" Sakura said, flushed with embarrassment. Sasuke smirked satisfyingly.
"Then how come I don't see it when in bed?"
"Because, I only wear it when under my clothing, kind of like showing off without people knowing it." She said as Sasuke raised an eyebrow with a sarchastic stare.
"Sasuke…I've always wanted to ask you…When will we get married?" Sakura asked anxiously, Sasuke, closed his eyes and thought.
"How about this winter?"
"But, it'll be too cold!"
"Then this fall?"
"Nope, we have too many missions!" Sakura whined as Sasuke groaned.
"Well, how does Spring sound?" Sasuke said waiting for her complaint. Instead, she seemed thrilled with energy at the thought.
"Perfect! Let's do it on Valentine's day!"
"No."
"Why not?" Sakura thought, since Valentine's Day was the day that celebrated love.
"Sakura…That day's when I actually have an excuse for my actions…" he said darkly grinning, Sakura gulping, trying to get over the slight feeling of fear.
"Alright…we'll talk about this later…" Sakura said slightly disapointed. Sasuke, noticing this, planted a deep kiss upon her lips, tenderly exploring the depths of her mouth with his extremely energetic tongue, massaging hers. She moaned with pleasure, feeling his tight embrace. He stopped to let her breath.
"Sasuke…Then can we do it on March 28?"
"You want to do it on your birthday?" he asked as she nodded shyly.
"Let's do it the day before...I want to celebrate your birthday and wedding seperatly…"
"Why?"
"Simple. The wedding for friends and family, your birthday...all mine…" he said making her blush.
"By the way...mind I mention whyI found a lingerie in my old room's closet? Please could you at least tone down your perverted sense of humor, and wait until our wedding night?"
"Sure…I can do that…but that'd be impossible to do in bed of course…Since that is the closest I can get to you...for about 5-7 hours..." he said making her sigh.
"Honestly…when you've got your mind set on it, you just have to win it…"
"Well, you are the most improtant thing in my life, so it should be obvious that I'll protect you…even if it costs my life…" he said, Sakura could've sworn she had seen a small microscopic blush on his pale cheeks.
"That's so sweet!" she squealed, wrapping her arms around him tightly. She gave him a chaste kiss on his nose. He pouted.
"That's all I get for saying such a cheesy line?" he whined leaning his face into her neck, Sakura giggling from his warm breath that lingered against her ivory skin. She jumped, suddenly feeling his hands crawl underneath her yukata.
"Sasuke-kun! Not here!"
"Sakura…you know I hate it when you call me that now…" Sasuke growled arroused, nipping hard on her neck playfully. Sakura yepled, feeling the small pain melt into pleasure.
"Alright…Sasu-Kun." She whispered, giving a lick, as she sucked onto his earlobe. Sasuke breathed in her intoxicating scent of wild berries and flowers. As they continued, his hand silently crept into her yukata before she could act, slowly loosening it. He lowered it down to her shoulders, on her shoulders, nothing but her alluring skin, and her lace thread like bra straps. Sasuke, irritated by them, lowered both, one with his free hand, and the other inbetween his mouth.
He could here no complaints, only the sound of her whispered moans, that tickled his ear drums. He decided to stop, before Sakura regained her temper. He sat dumbfounded, as her arms wrapped around his head in a tight embrace. Sasuke blushed slightly with half lidded eyes and a dazed smile, as she hugged his head against her soft pillow like chest.
"I could get used to this…" he said as Sakura giggled bashfully. As she let go, he slowly raised his head, a satisfied smirk upon his face.
"Let's go to the festival before we're late!" Sakura said quickly looking at the sun's position.
"It's 4:02. We should go now and register I guess..." Sasuke said ahead of her. Sakura gave a cheerful nod, warmly accepting his hand.
"Sasuke, don't be too hard on them. I don't think it'll end up too well, since they'll probably start fearing you…"
"I'll try…but if any of those low life weaklings look or touch you—"
"I know…you'll burst them to flames or make certain they don't exist?"
"Actually, I'd rather put roast them alive , so I'll be able to hear their agonizing screams of mercy…but I want them to feel as if they wished they weren't alive once I'm through with them…" he said cockily, Sakura giving him a sarcastic glance.
"Man…Those days with that snake bastard really rubbed off on you…"
"Can't blame a guy for living with someone that evil for 2 1/2 years straight." Sasuke reasoned, Sakura sighed.
"Honestly…Why is it, No matter how smart, you always have a comeback for every single comment I make?"
"Because, we share everyday, under the same roof, and share as much time as possible…not to mention each other…"
"I hate you."
"Anytime…"
heheheh…Well I finally decided to make a long chappie that includes small two parts on Ten/Nej+Shika/Ino, and always as usual of course I must have a cute section on Hina/Narucorrect? Well after I will plan another chapter and finish this one after 2-3 parts on a kinda different situation, but no worries! If it gets confusing, you'll understand it when you see it!

Oh and I hope that this was an okay chapter for Sasu/Saku fans out there!
