11 o'clock was approaching by the time the ladies settled themselves into the living room. They were spread out, waiting patiently for the arrival of a certain duo. But it wasn't the duo that has been missing since breakfast. While everyone else was in the middle of eating, one of the houseworkers notified them that they have received a call from Jiraiya to tell them that he, Tsunade and co. will be at the mansion within 20 minutes or so. This gave them all enough time to get fully dressed and wait where they were advised.
Some of the girls were on their phones or reading a book or talking with each other while they waited. All was peaceful until the Sasuke and his mistress came into the living room roughly 15 minutes later. Everyone rolls their eyes when they see the smirk on the Uchiha's face and the brunette wipe away at her lips as if there were a smudge there. Sakura glares daggers at Matsuri when she sees this action, confirming what they all knew that the two were doing.
The desperate bitch just got a taste of Sasuke's personal breakfast brand straight from his penis.
"Whore." The pinkette barely whispers, earning a gasp from Matsuri and snickers from a few of the others.
Feeling all of the eyes on her, Matsuri blushes and rubs her arm to try to shield herself from the light laughter. Sasuke, in the midst of the teasing, scans the room seeing that indeed each of the women were here.
"So why exactly are we all supposed to be in here?" The young bachelor asks, earning him some raised brows.
"Your staff didn't tell you before sending you here?" Temari inquires. When Sasuke stares blankly at her, she sighs. "I guess Jiraiya and the others are going to be here in a few and asked us all to wait for them in here. They should be here any second now since you and Matsuri took your sweet time finishing up." The slight upturn of her lip is enough to make the said girl flinch and Sasuke's ego flare.
"Hn."
The Uchiha lingers in the archway to fix his button-up, turning his head at the sound of his doorbell ringing. The women perk up some when a butler calls to say he shall get the door. Polite welcomings are heard briefly followed by footsteps until an unruly head of silver-white enters the room.
"Good Morning everyone." Jiraiya greets, dressed in his signature burgundy suit. Following behind him are his fianceé, Tsunade, and the Uchiha family.
Sasuke's eyes dart straight for Tsunade dressed in an ivory suit with plenty of cleavage showing. This woman knew what she was doing to him and he could tell that it was all intentional with the curt nod she sent his way. It didn't matter to him if she was testing him though - she was a snack and he'd willingly drink it up as long as she was providing. His family and their new "partners in crime" knew what his line of thought must have been since they all shared a look before addressing the house again.
"So how is everyone doing? How have you all been getting along so far?" Jiraiya asks as the help makes room for him, Tsunade and their employers. Once seated, he crosses his legs and looks at everyone with a cheery smile.
The ladies replied with a chorus of "okay" and "fine" and the likes, looking between each other with shrugs. Tsunade hums to herself, drawing the attention of the others while Jiraiya raises a brow, leaning back in his seat.
"Are you sure that everything is going just 'okay'?" The silver fox inquires with a sly grin. The tone of his voice and the expressions of the others was enough to arouse confusion in everyone.
"Are you sure there isn't anything interesting that any of you would like to tell me?" A few of the girls shift uncomfortably, not really liking his line of questioning. It was like he was goading them into admitting things… things he already may know. But what kind of things is he looking for?
Sasuke also senses that Jiraiya is reaching for something - waiting for them to spill some kind of truth. His face pinches together subtly trying to figure out what the old man's game is. However, the young bachelor doesn't have to wait long to figure it out.
When nobody says anything, opting for puzzling looks instead, Jiraiya chuckles and relaxes further into his chair. "You mean to tell me that none of you ladies haven't already bedded young Sasuke-kun here? No fun activities were done together? No awkward mishaps? No arguments? Nothing?"
The girls look between each other slightly amazed by Jiraiya's accusations. Despite not going into explicit detail about anything, it really did sound like he knew what happened in the past three days. Even Sasuke was questioning this in his corner. He was stewing over the implications that the old man could be suggesting. He wasn't liking where this line of questioning was leading.
When still none of them reply, Jiraiya smirks and motions for his fianceé to take over. With a sigh, Tsunade steps forward and sits on the arm of her lover's seat.
"Your silence is merely confirming what we already know - whether it's you all playing dumb, or you really don't understand what we're trying to get at. We know about the staff leaving for the day so that you girls could fool around in the kitchen together. We know about the arguments between Sakura, Karin, and Ino, as well as Matsuri and Karui."
Everyone is mildly surprised as they listen to the blonde woman go on. It wasn't surprising that they would hear about those kinds of things since the staff probably informed them of that. While annoying, it wasn't that big of a shock. However, what Tsunade says next is what gets even Sasuke riled up.
"We also know what led to these arguments in the first place. Sakura had sex with Sasuke on the very first night. Karui ended up having sex with him the second night and was caught." Karui flushes red with humiliation at having to relive the feeling of everyone knowing her business. "Ino snagged a chance with him last night. And Matsuri sucked him off just before we arrived."
Audible gasps reverberate around the living room - some shocked, some embarrassed, and some angry. It was one thing to know about Sakura and maybe Karui since their affairs were public information throughout the household already, but to know about Ino and Matsuri? That's just insane! No one but Hinata and Fuu knew about Ino and Sasuke hooking up since she wasn't that loud and their rooms are the closest to his. This is why both Sakura and Karin were giving the blonde the deadliest of glares at the moment. And like they said for Matsuri, it literally just happened before they arrived. How could they have known they had done something together, let alone know exactly what they did? They didn't get the chance to see the two of them come down together, nor did the staff have enough time to explain it all to them. So how the hell did they know? They said that they were going to be mildly monitored, but this didn't seem mild at all.
"Does this all sound about right?" Tsunade taunts with a grin. Jiraiya shares the same expression of glee, while Sasuke's family looks concerned.
"Well duh!" Karin replies, turning her glare from one of her rivals to the older woman. "It's really weird how you already know all of this. I know you said that we would be monitored, but you also said it wouldn't be invasive. From what you know, it seems pretty invasive, doesn't it? How the hell do you know all of this?"
While the redhead goes off, Sasuke looks over towards his family to see his mother looking guilty over something with his father whispering something to her. He sees Itachi rub his head in frustration as their parents chat silently amongst themselves. His brows furrow and his arms crossed at their behavior. Surely they should have seen some of this information coming, so why was his mother acting so surprised? It couldn't be that she actually thought that he wouldn't fuck any of them now, did she? His mother may delude herself into thinking certain things about him a lot, but he knew she wasn't this naive. But aside from that, he had another concerning matter on his mind.
Why the hell wasn't he informed of this monitoring? He should be privy to the knowledge of being watched since this was not only his home, but this whole thing was about him. Did his parents know about this? How come only the girls knew? Just how much information on this project was he left out on?
"Let's just say that we have our ways, okay?" Tsunade responds to the seething redhead, bringing Sasuke back from his internal struggle. "In order for this process to run properly, we have to be on top of any and all information like this."
You know what? Fine. If they feel like monitoring them and not telling them how they know so much, it's fine. He doesn't care. It's not like they aren't going to hear things that they already know was going to happen anyway. He just wonders if they know that it was the ladies throwing themselves at him and not the other way around as everyone makes it out to be. Yeah, he was a scumbag, but it's not his fault that the women they chose are part of the "problem" as well.
Sasuke runs his fingers through his hair and decides to ignore his parents' silent bickering in the corner. He also ignores the look his brother gave him when he caught him staring at first. He doesn't need his pity. Instead, his eyes move over to his housemates to find some of them trying to bite back their retorts since most of them weren't satisfied with that vague reply. Tsunade and Jiraiya, however, we very pleased that none of them pressed on, and decided to continue with why they were here before the tension in the room grows any further.
Jiraiya claps his hands to get the attention on him, bringing everyone from their own inner rants. "So, with that out of the way, let's get down to the real reason we are all here! We didn't originally come here to get you guys fired up like that. In fact, this is one of those little pop-up visits from us to see how things are going so far."
"We wanted to see how you guys were handling everything the first few days in person to see if there was anything that we needed to do to help things progress further." Tsunade chimes in, fixing her glasses. "Thankfully it doesn't appear that we need to do much so far."
"The other reason that we are here is to also inform you all that your very first activity will be happening next week." Jiraiya states, finally earning some excitement from the girls. Sasuke, on the other hand, remains stoic by the wall, which the older man expected.
"This one isn't going to be as elaborate or extravagant as some of the others that we have planned, but it should be a fun enough one to get you all out of the house for a while."
"What're you going to have us do?" Tenten asks, leaning in closer on the couch.
Jiraiya and Tsunade share a glance before looking back at everyone. The smiles on their faces are genuinely pleased.
"We're sending you all to the beach for a day." Compared to the gasps earlier, these ones were all happy and excited.
"For real?" Fuu cheers with a wide smile. Some of the other girls share her level of excitement while the others were more contained. Sasuke, on the other hand, couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this beach thing than they're leading on.
"Yes. We have another more thorough beach trip planned, but we figured with the recent tension building in the house that you all may just need an excuse to go have fun in a more open environment." Jiraiya explains.
"While this trip is technically just a stress reliever for you all, we do have a little friendly game of beach volleyball set up for you all to play. You can pick and choose who the referee and ball catcher will be since there are more girls than we expected to be here. But this is all for next week so don't stress it right now." Adds Tsunade with a wave of her hand.
Sasuke hears the girls mumble their joys about this announcement all while thinking how annoying this will all be. He hasn't been to the beach in so long. It was an overcrowded place with screaming children and pooping birds. Sure he'd get to see plenty of women clad in bikinis and the like, but was it really worth it if he'd just be confined to the women he was being forced to live with? Wait. Was he actually stuck being with these girls? Could this actually be his chance to explore and be a free man again-
"Oh! And before we forget, we will have personnel on standby throughout to make sure that Sasuke here doesn't fraternize with the female population." Tsunade's taunting voice instantly drains his rising bliss and he sends a heated glare her way. "Although I don't have any doubts that a select few of you would even allow a woman to come close to him as long as you're around." When her eyes land on a certain green and red-eyed duo, their cheeks turn as bright as their hair.
Tsunade and Jiraiya watch the women talk animatedly about the short beach trip. The excitement rolls off of them in waves, but come to a screeching halt when they glance at the brooding Uchiha male. The couple noticed that while his face was as aloof as ever, he radiated irritation like it was his personal brand of cologne. They could figure a few reasons why the young man would be upset, all within good reason when it comes to him. The news about being monitored, the trip to the beach not being a cheat day for him, and also his parents' reaction to certain things. Despite this whole thing being about him, he was as clueless as to what's going on than ever. Which was exactly the way they needed it to be.
"Oh! I know! Maybe we can all go shopping for some new bathing suits today!" Ino suddenly squeals, bringing all of the attention to herself. "I know I already have a couple of pairs on me, but I could always use a variety." She claps her hands eagerly when some of the girls nod in agreement. "Plus, didn't you two just say you forgot to bring some bathing suits anyway?"
Hinata and Hanabi flush with embarrassment with having the focus put on them, but confirm with a nod nonetheless. "It's not that we forgot, we just didn't think to bring any!" Hanabi defends while turning away. "We didn't know that they had their pool installed yet… We thought that the project was canceled."
"Technically it was, but we decided to go on with it for Sasuke's seventeenth birthday." The sound of Mikoto's quiet voice startles the young Hyūga at first since she hasn't said anything to anyone the entire time she's been here.
The room nearly falls into an awkward silence until Ino claps her hands again after shifting in her seat. "Yeah… Well anyway, about the shopping trip, who's down to go? It would get us all out of the house for a while, mingle, be distracted, you know."
Before anyone has a chance to say anything, Jiraiya interrupts them with a hearty laugh. "Haha! I actually like the sound of that Ino-kun! How about we have Sasuke-kun take you all there and have you all can enjoy a nice mall trip for a while. Go out now instead of waiting an entire week to leave."
At the suggestion, Sasuke finally seems to show an interest in the conversation. Unfolding his arms from his chest, he takes a step forward as many of the girls turn to look at him with devilish smiles. "Excuse me, but I'm doing what?"
-XxX-
"I can't believe I'm doing this…" Sasuke grumbles as he walks beside the large group of female housemates as they make their way through the local mall. His face remains unbothered, but everything about his body says otherwise. This didn't stop some shoppers from eyeing him from head to toe, however.
Suddenly he feels an elbow in his side and he looks over to find Tenten grinning at him. "Aw cheer up, Sasuke. Don't be such a Debbie Downer. This isn't going to kill you."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that." He retorts when he spots a pair of green eyes looking back. When his eyes meet hers, she turns back around to continue listening to her blonde rival chatting her ear off.
The brunette doesn't notice or rather doesn't pay attention to the glare sent her way as she moves back over to point out things to the Hyūga sisters. His eyes linger on the trio as they split from the group to stop at a shop window displaying some pretty decent athleisure wear. Before looking away, he spots Kurotsuchi coming up behind Tenten to take a peek at what the trio was looking at. The four soon catch up with the group as Ino and Karin lead them all over to Victoria Secret, the one place he constantly dreads going into, but always comes back out with another female to claim. Not only did the loud annoying pop music give him a headache but the strong smell of perfume didn't help either.
"Yay! We're here!" He hears the blonde cheer as she practically dashes into the store. She gives a quick glimpse over her shoulder with a wink before rushing off. "Now don't anyone pick the same suits as me or we'll have a problem!"
While the tone of her voice came off lighthearted, her warning was anything but. If Ino's thing with fashion was the same as when they were in high school, then this woman doesn't play around when it comes to someone wearing the same outfit as her. She was a self-proclaimed fashionista and she liked to command attention with what she wore. If someone just so happened to be wearing the same thing as her, she made it a point to be the one who looked better in it. It was amazing how strong her pride was in her fashion choices.
Not long after, Sasuke was left to stand awkwardly by the entrance when the rest of the girls spread out to look for some new gear. Before he could make a sneaky retreat, one of the store clerks walks over to him and boldly puts her hand on his arm. It was a subtle move that normally wouldn't mean anything, but the flirty look in her honey brown eyes told him otherwise.
"Hi sir, I couldn't help but notice that you looked a little lost. Is there anything I can maybe help you with-"
"No, he's just fine, thank you." Before the young woman could even finish her sentence, another pair of arms wraps around his free arm like he was their property and tugs him her way. The familiar set of emerald orbs is glaring right back into the clerk's startled ones.
"O-Oh okay then. W-Well, let me know if you need anyth-"
"We will, thanks." Sakura once again interrupts the woman before storming off further into Victoria's Secret, dragging the irked Uchiha by the arm.
The rosette brings him all the way to the dressing rooms and asks him to have a seat at one of the chairs they have set up. When he willing sits down, he doesn't even have time to fully get comfortable before Sakura begins lecturing him.
"I'm sorry that I had to do that, Sasuke-kun, but the way that chick was rubbing up on you was going against what Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama have said not to do. You can't just let random girls feel you up like that. You need to start pushing those thirsty bimbos away and start focusing on me- I mean us!" At first, her hands were on her hips while her face was stern. But then in the blink of an eye, she becomes flustered with her hands behind her back. "I think a few of us are much better to look at anyway, one more so than the rest."
Just as Sakura takes a step towards him, she's thrown back into reality when Matsuri and Fuu come bursting into the fitting room with a few swimsuits in hand, laughing loudly with each other before entering their own stalls. Not long after, Ino pops in with a few pieces herself, looking between the two before focusing on the pinkette.
"Look Billboard Brow! I know I shouldn't but I didn't see you out there so I picked some out that I think would go well with your body. Come on, let's try them on!"
"W-Wait, but I-" Sakura doesn't even get a chance to protest when Ino does to her what she had previously done to him and drags the woman into a changing room.
As soon as she's gone, Sasuke finally relaxes into his chair with a long sigh. He could already tell that this was going to be a long day with these females and he was not in the mood for it.
-XxX-
"I really am surprised that you guys didn't think to bring any bathing suits. I mean, yeah they didn't go into specifics about what we're supposed to be doing, but it's spring." Tenten says while holding up a pink polka dot bikini to her body in the mirror. She chuckles when she sees Hanabi pout off to the side while searching for something to try on.
"Like I said, I thought they didn't have their pool up." Hanabi defends herself while Hinata simply giggles at her sibling's embarrassment.
"And?" Tenten counters, putting the pink suit back. "It's still the middle of spring. You thought they were going to keep us confined to the house or something?"
The youngster falls silent as a blush takes over her pretty features. This earns her laughter from her sister and friend as she stomps off in a different direction towards a yellow bikini she saw. This leaves Hinata and Tenten alone with the elder Hyūga watch her sister look at clothes. Hinata can spot the other girls scattered around the store in small groups picking up things with earnest. Suddenly a vibrant blue two piece is shoved in her face, making her jolt in surprise.
"What do you think of this one, Hina? I think it would look great on you!" Tenten cheers holding the bikini up to the shy girl's body. The bluenette blushes as her friend presses the suit to her body before gently pushing it aside with a wave of her hand.
"I don't think that's my kind of swimsuit, Tenten." Hinata pushes the suit closer to the brunette and smiles. "I do, however, think it would look better on you than it would me."
Rolling her eyes, Tenten holds the suit up to herself, giving Hinata a friendly pout. "Are you sure? I mean, blue isn't really my color."
"Why not try it on to find out? I'm about to head over to the fitting room myself." Hanabi states, coming to stand beside her sister with an armful of swimwear. She nudges her sibling and hands her a few articles from the pile. "I know you didn't ask, but I picked out some for you since you didn't seem to be looking. And don't worry, unlike some of the others here," Her pearly eyes shift over to Tenten. "I didn't pick out anything that would make you uncomfortable. I actually know your taste."
Tenten crosses her arms and sticks her tongue out at the young woman in response to the sly grin she gives her. Hinata chuckles at the display and thanks Hanabi while Tenten grabs a few more suits to try on herself, along with the blue ensemble.
The three smile at each other before heading into their respective changing rooms just as Karin, Karui, and Fuu leave theirs. Karin spares a glance at the two dark-skinned women before making her way towards Ino and Sakura in the store. Just as Karui was about to make her exit as well, Fuu stops her with a hand on her bicep.
Sasuke watches as his mint haired fling chats animatedly with the brooding redhead before exchanging outfits. He watches as Fuu ushers Karui back into the dressing room she came out of and waits for the woman to finish changing. As she waits, she winks over in his direction before turning her attention to Matsuri and Temari who had just entered the changing room. Fuu waves to her new friend just as Karui steps out in a white striped two-piece that was simple yet appealing.
"Ah! See I knew it would look better on you than it did me!" The orange-eyed girl cheers, clapping her hands. At the same time, Hinata, Hanabi, and Tenten exit their rooms sporting their own colorful outfits as well.
Fuu's eyes practically sparkle when the rest of the women enter the fitting room as well with perplexed looks as she continues to cheer and squeal to herself.
"Eeei! You all look so nice! Gah! I'm so jealous! You guys should seriously, like, be models or something!"
The Hyūga sisters flush red almost instantly at the sudden praise, both trying to cover their bodies since they weren't expecting everyone to be in the room when they came out to show each other and Tenten. Tenten, on the other hand, gave an amused look to her ranting housemate before feeling the presence of someone hovering over her shoulder. She turns to find Kurotsuchi admiring her in the blue swimsuit she first offered Hinata. She turns fully to her with a smirk and hands on her hips.
"Did anyone ever tell you that blue looks really good on you?" The tomboy compliments with a smirk of her own as she holds the same swimsuit up from the pile in her hands. "I was thinking of getting this, but obviously there's someone who's already wearing it better."
Tenten falters for only a second before Hinata's voice rings in her ears. "I told you it would look better on you." Her chocolate eyes glance over to her embarrassed friend before turning back to find Kurotsuchi eyeing her figure.
A smirk dances back on her face as she eyes the dark-haired woman back. "Looks like I have a keeper then, don't I?"
There's a sudden tension in the air as the group eye the duo. It even has the Uchiha paying attention to them with his own perverse grin coming into place. The atmosphere is quickly broken, however, when Ino's squealing is heard followed by her rushing over to the two timid Hyūga. A soft yelp follows when the blonde boldly palms Hanabi's chest before being swatted away, forcing her to move over to Hinata who gasps and looks ready to pass out.
"Oh my gosh, you two have such huge boobs!" Ino states, coming behind Hinata to grope her unwillingly from behind. "Is it some weird Hyūga gene or something to grow them big like this, because if so I'm jealous! I could always tell you guys were packing but the bikinis make them stand out even more."
"I-I-Ino!~" Sasuke nearly chuckles at the expression on Hinata's face. Poor girl looks like she was ready to drop from being touched like that so openly. Granted the way the blonde was touching her wasn't exactly innocent either and was actually kind of turning him on at the moment so he couldn't really blame her.
Just as his gaze was heating up, the annoying brat finally steps in screaming and waving her arms to let her "Onee-chan" go while the others laugh at her antics. Ino apologizes to the sisters and offers up her breast for them to grab as payback which they immediately decline. That's when Temari steps in to try to tame the riled group after noticing that some shoppers and workers were watching them because they were being too loud. It's as some of the girls whine back about Temari being such a "mom" that Sasuke notices that one of his flings was eyeing him. Hard. It's like he could feel her stare on him as if she was right in his face physically touching him and hovering over him.
With a sigh, he looks over in the pinkette's direction to find her emerald eyes almost glaring at him, but not quite since she would never dare. He could tell that she was upset but for what reason he wasn't sure nor could he care less. Whatever her issue was now, it wasn't his problem.
Sasuke runs his hands through his hair as he relaxes into the chair, having his mood dampened by the sight of her attitude. It's always when things start to get a little exciting that she kills his vibe. For once, he was actually entertained in this godforsaken store with the display that Ino had put on with the snobby Hyūgas. Seeing the brat flustered is always a great sight to see. She needs that attitude of hers knocked down a couple notches. But then when she went on to the other one, boy did his amusement skyrocket along with something else.
Not only was it hilarious to see the mouse on the verge of fainting like when she was a kid, but watching Ino fondle her like that was fucking hot. The blonde wasn't even trying to be tame since they were in public. She was putting on a show for him - one that she knew would get his attention. Part of it may have been for herself since she's always had a thing for nice tits, but it was mostly for his benefit since why else would she grope her like that? She played with Hinata's breast as if they were her own and as if she didn't have an audience. If Hanabi hadn't stopped her when she did, he was pretty certain that Ino would have taken it a step too far by twisting her nipples and kissing her neck. She would have had the Hyūga begging and whimpering more than she already was, writhing in her grasp like the tiny innocent thing she is.
Fuck.
Sasuke stretches himself out and crosses his legs strategically with a low groan. Just imagining the scenario was getting him all worked up. It's a shame that it has to involve Hinata, but Ino wasn't wrong about her body. If he hadn't known the bluenette personally, he would have tried to fuck her. She grew into a banging body and he already shamefully admitted that she wasn't bad to look at now either. But damn it was still sick to think of her in this way. Then again, it was all the blonde's fault for getting him hard for her. Why couldn't she have done that to someone else? Why did she have to touch Hinata like that?
Fuck!
"Sasuke-kun?"
Said man nearly jumped out of his seat at the unexpected call of his name. He somehow managed to keep his composure though when he looked up to find none other than Sakura standing before him with a perplexed look on her pretty face.
"Hn." This is the second time in only a few short minutes that she's managed to break him from his perverse state and he wasn't sure if he should be grateful or not for it yet.
Suddenly a blush blesses her cheeks and she starts to fidget, making him finally realize that she was standing there in nothing but a black string bikini. He also notices that the fitting room is completely empty now since the ladies must have scattered while he was busy daydreaming. Looking back up to her flushed face, he knows that something's up.
"What do you want, Sakura?"
Despite the cold tone in his voice, she appears to shiver and turn even redder than before.
"O-Oh nothing much r-really. I was just wondering if you could help me out is all." Her voice is sickeningly sweet - the pitch she reserves only for when she intends on getting on his good side.
"You see… um… well, I need your help taking- I mean untying the string at my back." Her fidgeting worsens as she stammers her way through. "I normally could do it, b-but Ino must have tied it in a knot before she left and now I can't undo it. Can you help me?" She's nibbling her bottom lip nervously as he stares blankly at her.
She's a horrible actress. He knows what she's doing. He's not an idiot, unlike a certain someone. Does she really think he'll fall for something so obvious? Especially in a public place in a popular shop. Does she really think that he's that in the mood for it that he's willing to get caught?
She's out of her fucking mind if she thinks he's that desperate right now. His fucking hard-on can wait.
-XxX-
Karin struts back into the fitting room with a new set of bikinis that she likes better than the previous ones. She doesn't shop for swimwear often so she has to keep her options open, especially if she wants to woo Sasuke with them. At the thought of the love of her life, Karin pouts coming to a stop at her door.
She hasn't really shown it, but she was not only jealous that she hasn't had a chance with Sasuke yet, but she was pissed completely off about it. Not only did Sakura jump his bones the first night, but then she finds out that Ino did too. Not to mention that random chick she's never met before until a few weeks ago when this thing started. How is it that she's the only one left behind? How is it that those two got to him first? Yeah, sure she was just as crazy about him as they are, but through her experience with him, she learned to not be that clingy lovesick teen she used to be. Despite being the total babe that he is, Sasuke could be so cruel when not given his space. That's why she was trying to give him a chance to have a breather and get used to them all being here before she took her chance. But now, with how the others are going at him left and right, she's feeling like her chance to reunite with her love is slipping through her fingers.
With a heavy sigh, the redhead chances a glance in the direction of her affection only to raise a trimmed brow when she sees he's not there. She fixes her glasses as she steps closer to the chair he's been in since they got here about 15 or 20 minutes ago. She ponders if he just went to find a restroom or something at first until she hears a strange noise coming from one of the stalls.
It sounds like someone is having trouble fitting into something with the way that they were grunting. But Karin knew better than to believe some cocked excuse like that. She wasn't fucking stupid. Nor was she fucking deaf. She could hear more than one voice in there as well as the not-so-subtle shaking of the stall walls. She's pretty sure if people were in the stalls next to this one, they would have heard it all much clearer than herself.
Karin's face twists into a deadly scowl as she marches over towards that particularly noisy stall and risks a peek underneath to find two pairs of feet. Or should she say two male feet and one female foot barely standing.
Are you fucking serious?! Karin grinds her teeth as she abruptly stands and looks around the store for her housemates. When she finds everyone but one lingering around, her blood boils hotter than the Sahara.
Temari and Ino reenter the fitting room just in time to see Karin fisting her bathing suits in her hand and watch steam practically flow from her head. The blondes share a look before walking over to the redhead where Ino places a hand on her arm. Ino quickly snatches her hand back when Karin slaps it away, glaring at them.
"What the hell's the matter with you?" Temari inquires with a glare of her own.
"Take a closer look and listen and then you'll see what's the fucking matter." The bespectacled woman snaps back, pointing at the stall. When Temari and Ino reluctantly listen and move closer to the stall, Ino gasps and covers her mouth while Temari looks annoyed.
"Who's in there?" Temari asks having half a mind to bust through the door.
"Who do you think?" Karin scoffs, throwing her arms and rolling her ruby eyes.
Ino quickly becomes irritated when she understands and breathes deeply to keep herself from going awol. "What should we do now? Knowing Sakura, even if we burst in and catch her in the act, that still won't stop her or Sasuke-kun."
Temari rubs her temple and releases a hefty annoyed sigh. "If that's the case, let's just tell the others for now and beat the shit out of these two later. We can't make a scene otherwise we'd all be kicked out and those two would be thrown in jail. Plus the Uchiha would have a scandal on their hands, which is one thing I hear they're trying to avoid with this."
Karin and Ino grudgingly agree and set out to inform the others as Temari inhales deeply. "These little girls..."

10 minutes.
Roughly 10 minutes before they finally emerged from the stall as if nothing happened. But when the two come face to face with half of the household standing there disgust and disappointment, they knew they were caught. Sasuke doesn't seem to really care for their distaste for his actions since he simply walks back over to his former seat while some eyes follow him. Sakura, however, looks a mixture of embarrassed and satisfied with the smirk she was giving. She doesn't even flinch when one of the ladies scoff at her before turning around to leave.
"Hurry up and grab what you're getting. We're leaving." Temari commands as the rest of the women follow her lead, every single one slightly humiliated by what just happened in that stall.
As everyone leaves the room, Sakura lingers behind to spare a glance at her lover only to find him smirking tauntingly at the Hyūga sisters. The love in her eyes falters as she watches this transpire and her grin instantly turns to a frown. With jealousy flowing through her, she stomps her way back into the stall to grab what she wanted and proceeds to follow the others to the register, marching right past the sisters, barely brushing shoulders with the elder of the two.
As everyone waits in line to pay for their items - breathing a mental sigh of relief that the shop workers seem none the wiser about the situation that just happened - Sasuke comes up behind Hanabi and Hinata, who were the last two in the line, the same taunting grin on his face. Hanabi glares up at him and sucks her teeth with disgust. Hinata opts to completely ignore his presence but the tint in her cheeks lets him know that she's failing miserably at that.
Looking at the two, the Uchiha suddenly feels mischievous, like back when he was a child. He startles his prey so badly by slinging his arm over her shoulder causing her to jump out of her skin. The red in her cheeks intensifies as she looks up at him with wide opal eyes and a slack jaw. The brat is too stunned for words at his bold actions as she turns to them with a gasp and equal expression to her sister.
"You know, you may not even be close to being my type, but if you're ever tired of being a voyeur, I would take pity on you just this once." Everything from his posture, his expression, and his tone just screams sarcasm, but knowing who he is now and seeing what she's seen, she has a feeling that he could be dead serious if she said yes.
Hanabi must know this too since she immediately pushed him away from her and jumped in between them all while she sputters nonsense while trying to keep from fainting.
"That's not even funny, Uchiha! That's just sick!" Hanabi quietly screeches at him, poking him the chest while he just shrugs.
"Look, I know you're frustrated pipsqueak, but I don't take women under the age of twenty. I may be a generous man, but I have my boundaries."
Hinata reacts quickly when Hanabi nearly trips over herself, her face looking green. She has no time to respond though when Hanabi instantly slaps the Uchiha's arm and begins mouthing off profanities at him.
"As if I would ever go for a sleazy ass weasel like you! You must have lost a few brain cells being stuck in that stall with little miss thirsty."
"You must have lost a few yourself if you think I was actually serious. As if I'd ever go for you or your sister." A sly grin graces his features when Hanabi chokes, appearing to be slightly insulted.
"And what's wrong with Onee-chan, huh? I know she's too good for you, but is she too out of your league too?"
Sasuke and Hinata both raise a brow at what the brunette had said - Hinata trying to keep her laughter at bay. "A few seconds ago you didn't want me flirting with your sister, but now you want me to? That's what I'm getting from what you just said."
Coming to the realization that what she meant was taken out of context, the young Hyūga begins to stammer and turn red as the cashier calls for the next person in line. Moving forward she points a finger back at him with a childish glare.
"T-That's not what I meant and you know it, you ass hat!" As she puts her things on the counter, she briefly turns to him and does the "I've got my eye on you" motion as the woman at the register scans her clothes.
From the corner of her eye, Hinata can see Sasuke's shoulders shake as he snickers a bit at her younger sister. The small motion takes her back to the night before where he was laughing boisterously and genuinely. Seeing him chuckling again pushes aside her embarrassment momentarily for his crude joke towards them. A gentle smile forms on her face until she feels someone press closer to her and feels their body hover over her shoulder. She shivers when she feels his breath tickle her ear, making her blood rise as he whispers to her.
"Are you buying anything sexy for my eyes only, Hyūga?"
The bluenette turns quickly only to find Sasuke standing a step away with his hands in his pockets and an aloof, yet mildly amused expression on his face. She looks horrified at first that he would even dare to ask that but smiles once more when she sees his lips twitch into a smug grin.
Hinata turns back to the counter when the woman there calls for her and places her things down as Sasuke walks past her to go stand with their waiting housemates. But before he can get too far she whispers back in her own teasing way for his ears only.
"In your dreams, Sasuke-kun."

It's been a few hours since everyone came back to the mansion and most of the girls were in their rooms getting ready for bed. It had been a long exhausting day mentally for many of them, so they were just ready to get it over with. Same was said for the Hyūgas until Tenten and Kurotsuchi came crashing in for a little chill time.
The ladies started showing off what they bought as they talked about today's events. As they were talking about Jiraiya and Tsunade's earlier visit today, the abrupt sound of a bed creaking and girly moans interrupted their conversation. As the noise continued, Kurotsuchi presses her ear to the sisters' wall to get a better listen.
"Whoa, that sounds like Matsuri." The dark haired woman concludes with a cheeky laugh.
Tenten and Hanabi groan loudly while Hinata covers her ears with her pillow. Hanabi pinches the bridge of her nose and follows her siblings lead and shoves her head under her own pillow. Kurotsuchi will come to sit beside the bunned brunette as she starts to count on her fingers.
"First thing this morning he gets a blowjob from her; then at the mall he fucks Sakura in the fitting room; now only a few hours later he's back at it again with Matsuri finishing what they started." Tenten cringes when a particularly loud scream from said girl interrupts her. "I don't know what happened between the few years that I haven't seen him, but Sasuke really has become an insatiable man with a hefty libido."
Hanabi sits up from her spot, removing the pillow from her face since it obviously wasn't doing much to conceal the noise. "You have no idea how obnoxious and gross it's been being in one of the rooms closest to him."
"Mhmm." Hinata's muffled voice is heard beneath her pillow. "It's only the fourth night and this has already become an unwelcome regular occurrence."
"I guess her peeping in on Sasuke last time really revved her up." Kurotsuchi comments with a laugh, making the sisters moan from also bearing witness to that scene. "Maybe you guys should put in a request for a different room or something."
At the suggestion, Hinata lifts her head up to stare blankly at the woman just as Hanabi does the same. Tenten has to put her hand on her mouth and turn away to keep from laughing at the expressions her friends were making.
"No, ya think?"

Thank you all so much for your patience. I'm sorry it took me this long to get this out. I really did want to get this chapter out quickly but shits been happening, both good and bad (mostly). Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter nonetheless. Despite having an outline for how I wanted this chapter to go, it was still a bitch for me to write because I know I'm not the best of writers. But if you would be so kind, your feedback really helps and I love seeing what people think of this so far. Please review, follow, and/or fave! Thank you so much; I hope you have a great day/night!
