Chapter 3:The party part I, forgiveness
'I feel weird going out in front of everyboy in my new swimsuit...' Sakura was changing into her new white swim suit, it's a bikini, with waves on the front and a small sunset behind the waves. She let her hair hang lose and put on her white flipflops. She finally summoned the courage to step outside the bathroom. "Uh, where is everybody?" She looked around but saw nobody.
"Oh Miss Sakura, Miss Ino wanted me to inform you that everybody is at the pool already." Jenkins said while passing by with Ino's laundry.
"Thank you Jenkins." She said before leaving for the pool. Jenkins sighed
"What a nice girl. Nothing like miss Ino..."
Out back by the pool,
"Sakura there you are!" Ino said running up to Sakura. "What took you so long?" Ino was in a simple purple bikini with little friles everywhere.
"New bathing suit. It felt weird wearing it infront of you." She laughed nervously.
"You look fine! Now c'mon lets go find the girls!" Ino grabbed Sakura's hand and ran to find the other girls. They found Hinata first sitting on a lawn chair watching Naruto swim. "Hey Hinata!"
"Hi Hinata!" Sakura and Ino were smiling big grins.
"H-Hi. Sakura nice bathing suit..." She said smiling back at them.
"Thanks! Anyway adrmiring Naruto's body are we?" Sakura asked teasingly.
"I-I umm...well I..." Hinata started to blush. Sakura just giggled.
"I'm kidding Hinata." Sakura sat next to Hinata.
"HEY! Hinata! Sakura! Watch me do a swan dive off the diving board!" Naruto screamed going up Ino's 10 ft. diving board.
"B-Be careful Naruto!" Hinata said concerened.
"I'll be fine!" He got hinself ready to jump off. "1, 2, 3, 4, and 5--"
"Hey Naruto your cell phone is ringing!" Takashi yelled causing Naruto to lose focus and fall off the diving board.
"N-Naruto!" Hinata yelled running to the pool just in time to see Naruto do a belly flop on the waters surface. "Are you okay?"
"Dobe..." Sasuke said before swimming to the corner he and Takashi were at. Naruto just sunk to the bottom but then came back up.
"Shut up...Ow my head..." He said while getting out of the pool with Hinata's help. Sakura couldn't help but laugh.
'Same old Naruto...' She thought.
"Naruto!" Ino yelled running up to him. "You didn't harm by diving board did you?"
"No Ino. Now if you excuse me I need food, now." He said before running to the snack table.
"Hey Sakura!" Kairi shouted running up to Sakura with something in her hand. "I have something for you!" She handed Sakura a piece of paper.
"What is it?" Sakura opened the paper. " Dear miss Hakari we are pleased to inform you that your car will in fact be restored at the cost of only...1,000 dollars! Kairi!"
"You promised Sakura!" Kairi said putting her hands on her hips.
"Speaking of that...There's Takashi." Sakura had an evil plan on her mind. Kairi sighed and began to cry anime style.
"what do I have to do?" She asked sheepishly.
"You have to kiss Takashi before Ino's part is over! And not just anywhere but on the lips." Sakura said proudly.
"But Sakura...there are people here!" Kairi said pointing at everyone.
"I have eyes." Sakura said before getting up.
"You're so mean Sakura..." Kairi said as she crashed on a lawn chair. Sakura walked over to see Ino and Tenten staring at all the guys in the pool drooling. She sighed and decided to tell them before they create their own pool.
"Hey Ino! Tenten! Close your mouths will ya?" Sakura shouted causing Ino and Tenten to close their mouths and stand up straight.
"What are you talking about Sakura?" Tenten asked nervously. Sakura giggled. Suddenly Ino came up with a plan.
"Hey Sakura why don't you go talk to Sasuke for me? I heard from Kairi that you helped him out and he owes you a favor..." Ino gave Sakura a big grin.
"What! Urgh that Kairi can't keep anything secret!" Sakura shouted loud enough for Kairi to hear and hide behind a lawn chair.
"Good so it's true! So do me this favor will ya? thanks!" ino said before pushing Sakura in the pool. When Sakura resurfaced Ino was long gone.
'wise chose running before I got to her... Damn Ino...' Sakura had no choice but to try and start a conversation with Sasuke. 'Here goes nothing...' Sakura swam over towards Sasuke and the guys. "Hey Sasuke! How's your car?"
"In the paint shop. Stupid fan club made at least $300 worth of damage." Sasuke answered cooly.
"what happened to your car?" Takashi asked.
"Stupid fan club wrote all over it with lipstick and all kinds of paint. I think one of them may have written with their own blood..." Sasuke answered looking kind of disgusted. So did the rest of the guys and Sakura.
"Eww. How troublesome..." Shikamaru said. "Women..."
"You said it!" Naruto gave Shikamaru a high five.
"Only a sum of women are annoying..." Neji said calmly.
"Yeah like 99 percent!" Naruto said laughing.
"So true..." Sasuke said calmly. Gaara nodded his head, this made Sakura very very very mad.
"Whats so bad about women?" Sakura asked looking super pissed. Naruto the idiot he is forgot that this kind of subject makes Sakura pissed answered.
"First of all have you seen how long they take to get ready? Also the are so sensitive they cry about everything!" All the guys were shaking their heads while Sakura had to restrain herself from killing Naruto. "Also they so self-consious about their body! They're so scared of getting fat! and their--!" Sakura was holding Naruto's head under the water. She was super pissed and a vein was twitching out of her forehead.
"Say that again and I'll kill you!" Sakura shouted struggling to keep Naruto's head under the water.
"So-Sorry!" Naruto said before being dunked in the water again. Everyone besides Naruto and Sakura sighed anime style.
"Oh you better be!" Sakura finally let go of Naruto and went back to the guys. "Anyone else care to say anything else about women?"
"..." None of the guys dared to answer.
"That's much better!" Sakura said smiling a big grin. "Anyway how long is your car gonna be in the shop?"
"About a week. But I have a few other cars so I'm good for now." Sasuke said.
'I'm getting no where with this...' "Hey Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Kairi! Come here for a second will ya!" Sakura shouted waving her hand in the air. All the girls went over to Sakura. "Let's play a game!"
"W-What game?" Hinata asked shly hoping it wasn't truth or dare.
"Truth or Lies!" Sakura said.
"Hey why not!" Tenten jumped in the pool. "Who's first?" She asked resurfacing.
"Wait what's truth or lies?" Naruto asked looking at the other guys. They all shrugged.
"Oh yeah! You guys probably don't know yet! Well we all take turns and tell 2 stories. One is true the other is a lie. If a person guesses it right the person who told the story will have to do a dare of the person who guessed it right's choice. If a person get's it wrong, the person who told the story chooses a dare for the other person. Got it?" Kairi asked while jumping in the pool. Ino joined in while Hinata used the latter to get in.
"I'm still not sure but let's just play!" All of the gang made a circle in the pool.
"Okay since it's my party, I chose who go's first. Umm...Sasuke!" Ino had hearts in her eyes and just stared at Sasuke. Sasuke sighed.
"Whatever...Okay my last school's name was Nami High School. The next story is...when I was younger...I got to see a rated R movie. There..." Sasuke said cooly not seeming worried that some one will find out the truth.
"Hmm...I think the one about the school's name is true..." Naruto said while sinking in the pool. "Well?"
"Nope...When I was eight I saw a rated R movie. Dobe you should know that We saw the same movie when we snuck in..."
"Oh yeah...Damn it! So umm Sasuke...what do I have to do?"
"Hmm...I think you should give up ramen for a whole week..."
"Yeah right! Get serious!"
"Okay why don't you ask out that girl you like so much. Her name was Hin--"
"Okay I'll give up ramen!" Naruto was blushing furiously.
"That's what I thought." Sasuke had a smirk on his face while Naruto mouthed an 'I hate you'.
"Okay then..." Ino started, "...I think Kairi should go next!"
"What?" Kairi looked a little annoyed. "Fine...Okay The first one is when I was driving a saw a squirrel on the road and almost hit it. the second one is... When I was shopping I saw this dude with freakishly huge eyebrows in the womens department."
"The first one. Lee is not that freaky enough to go shopping in a womens store." sakura gave Kairi a smirk of trimpuh.
"But-But!" Kairi was giving Sakura puppy dog eyes.
"Not gonna work this time! Let's see... I dare you...to sing that song you found on the inernet last week! The one you thougt was so hilarious!"
"Anything but that!" Kairi looked really nervous.
"To bad it's the rules! Go ahead, no one's stopping you..." Kairi took a deep breath and sung that way no one could hear her. "I can't hear you." Kairi sighed.
"I-I'm an ugly girl My face makes you hurl Sad I have it I should bag it Acne everywhere Unwanted Facial hair I'm a relation to frankienstains creation
Your so ugly you disgust me
I'm a bland homly girl all alone in the world I'm as flat as a board Thin and lanky

Oo oo" Kairi sank in the pool while everyone started laughing. "Sh-Shut up! Sakura I hate you!" Kairi started splahing Sakura making her fall backwards into the water.
"Okay, Okay enough. Now I think it's..." Ino started. 'Sakura don't kill me but I think you should hear this...' "Neji..." Sakura looked at Ino who turned her head just in time. 'Sorry...'
"...A few weeks ago, my ex-girlfriend came to town to vist. We went out for lunch and she told me she wanted to get back togther. I told her I was over her and she said she understood. but later on that day she came by my house and told me she still loved me and she started kissing me. It's not till someone saw us that I realized my mistake but...It was to late...the second story is that when I was little my mother became sick and moved to America to seek medical help. She left me with my aunt and uncle's house for four years." Sakura couldn't help but feel like crying her eyes out one more time.
"T-The first one...it's true..." Sakura felt like she was choking on her words. 'I saw it all. You said it wasn't what it looks like but a picture says a thousand words.'
"...Yeah...it is..." Neji and Sakura just couldn't face each other.(Okay when I was writing this part I was listening to Simple and Clean so if you could play that song it make this part more dramatic. Back to the story!)
"Ino I'm sorry but I have to go!" Sakura jumped out of the pool and ran inside the house.
"Sakura!" Ino and Neji yelled. Neji got out of the pool and ran after Sakura. "Sakura wait!"
"Leave me alone!" She ran to the door but Neji grabbed her wrist. He made her turn towards him. "Let me go I have nothing more to say to you!" She screamed. "You and I are over! Nothing can change that!"
"Please listen!" He pulled her closer but she turned away. "I know what I did hurt you. I know that so much that it hurts! If I could I'd change everything thath day! I'd never have hurt you and we'd still be togther!" Sakura started crying.
"Maybe you shouldn't have done it in the first place...Maybe you shouldn't have broken my heart! You made me feel whole! I couldn't have asked for more! And you threw that all away, for what? For some stupid lousey kisses and a love that you left? If that's how it's gonna be with all your girlfriends then I don't want to be a part of that. I thought I could trust you! I thought I could turn to you! But I realize that you took away my trust... You expect me to forgive you!" She was crying so hard that you could tell the tears apart from the pool water.
"I never threw your love away! I was afraid of losing it! Sakura, I just want your forgiveness! I'd die if I have to! You know that I love you more than than life itself! I could never forget you! You and I know that! Sakura please listen..." He pulled her into an embrace. "Sakura..."
'I want to forgive him but...I just can't! I won't let my heart be broken again no metter what...' "Than...how come you forgot me that day? I waited for your calls. I waited to hear your voice. I wanted to see your smile...I wanted to see you... But you forgot...about me...about us...about the love we had...So please...Please don't lie to me!" Sakura shouted pushing away from him but failed.
"Don't say that! I gave you my heart, my soul, my love. The days we spent together you expect me to forget them? It's hard to let them go. Sakura no matter what you say, no matter how much you hate me, no matter what obstecles come our way...I'll always love you..." Neji let her go. He looked her in the eyes only to have her turn away. She looked to the ground.
"Neji...I want to forgive you but...it's not that simple...I can't just say 'I forgive you' and move on. I don't think...I don't think... anything can happen between us again..." Sakura said before turninng her back to him. He took her chin and made her look him in the eyes.
"Sakura..." He said looking in her eyes but she turned away. 'Everything...is falling apart.'
"Neji...I just can't love you like before anymore. You took that away...the broken trust can't be repaired that easily. You and I both know that." 'Even if I say that I know inside...' She turned to face him only to be pulled back into an embrace. She gasped from the shock that she felt water coming from Neji's eyes. "Neji...What are you..?"
"Sakura...could we...could we ever be togther again?" Neji asked holding her protectively. She grasped him tightly.
"I-I don't know...I really don't know..." Sakura cried into his arms. they couldn't hold back the tears. 'I know that I...'
"I'm so sorry! I hate myself I really do! Sakura please, don't leave me!" Neji and Sakura just stood there crying in each others arms. "Please don't go..."
"I could never leave you...no matter what." Sakura wiped away her tears. Her heart felt whole for just a second. "Neji... promise me that whenever I'm hurting I can always turn to you. That you'll always be there." 'I know that I just can't...' Neji wiped away his tears. He took Sakura's hand and held it gently. She smiled at him.
"I promise...I'll always be there for you Sakura No matter what..." The hugged one last time. this time it was longer and they felt calm. They wanted this moment to last forever. 'Sakura...'
"Thank you... Maybe somethings are that simple..." Sakura barried her head in his chest. 'Even if I say that...I know that I...I know that I just can't...I just can't move on...'
