Chapter 6: Surprise, Surprise!

About an hour later, the group arrived at the resort. "So, whaddya guys think?" Ino asked as everyone grabbed their bags and filed off the bus.

"Well, I haven't seen the inside, but the outside looks like the perfect bowl of ramen!" Naruto said cheerfully. Everyone sweat-dropped.

"Naruto, you are SO weird" Ino said, rolling her eyes.

"Then why'd you invite me?" Naruto said sarcastically.

"Sarcasm gets you no where, Naruto-kun" Hinata said (yes, w/o stuttering!).

"Sorry…" Naruto said apologetically, looking down at his feet.

"Well, ANYWAY, lets go check out the inside of the resort!" Ino said happily.

Sasuke smirked and turned to Sakura. "She seems more excited than us to be here, huh?".

Sakura giggled. "Seems that way!".

"Come on, lets go check out our room" Sasuke said, taking Sakura's hand and pulling her inside the resort.

"Wow! This place is really nice!" Sakura said, gasping.

Sasuke nodded. "Where's Ino? She has the room keys…".

"What's the rush?" Sakura said, turning to Sasuke.

"Well, it's just that I…" Sasuke stammered.

Sakura giggled. "Come on, it's okay. Let's go find Ino". Sakura took off down the hall in search of Ino.

Sasuke blushed slightly, then followed Sakura. I wonder if she knows? I mean, is it really that obvious that I like her? I haven't done anything to make her think that…But Sasuke's thoughts were interrupted by the Inner Sasuke.

Well, you did kiss her on the cheek TWICE already! I think that's hint enough that…

Shut it!

Remember, I'M YOU! Sasuke, stop trying to shut me out. LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!

You mean what I have to say!

Well, I'm you, so yeah. Pretty much.

Well, I say that you need to stop invading my personal thoughts! …Oh wait. You're me…

You're finally grasping the concept that I'm you, huh? Anyway, before you confuse yourself, she probably already knows how you feel, especially after that little stunt you just pulled.

What are you talking about? What stunt?

I quote: ' Where's Ino? She has the room keys…' . Unquote. You were rushing her into A HOTEL ROOM! THINK ABOUT IT!

I don't like her like THAT! She couldn't seriously think…

"Sasuke? I have the room key? Hellooooo! Sasuke?" Sakura said, staring at him. What's up with him lately? The second we got to the resort, he's been acting strange…

"Huh?" Sasuke said, pushing the thought to the back of his mind.

We'll continue this conversation later, The Inner Sasuke hissed.

"I said I have the room key. Come on, let's go put our stuff up, unless of course you want to stand here all day holding it…" Sakura said, staring at him quizzically.

"Uhh… right" Sasuke said walking toward the elevators. "So I'm assuming that we're staying on the 8th floor?". The elevator doors slid open. Both Sakura and Sasuke stepped in.

"Yep!" Sakura said cheerfully. "Hey, Sasuke? Can I ask you something?".

Oh god! She knows! Sasuke thought, panicking. He pressed the little button in the elevator with an '8' painted on its surface. "I guess…".

"Are you okay? Since the second we stepped off the bus, you've been acting strange. I'm a little concerned…".

"I'm fine" Sasuke said coolly. "I-I mean… yeah, I'm fine. Everything's okay".

Sakura frowned. "Maybe you should lie down once we get our stuff into the room". The elevator doors slid open, and they both stepped off of the elevator.

"Sakura, I'm FINE!" Sasuke said, walking down the hall.

"Uhh, Sasuke? The room's this way" Sakura said, pointing in the opposite direction.

"Right…" Sasuke mumbled, walking the right way this time.


"YOU DID WHAT?" Tenten shouted, flaring up at Neji.

"I said, I lost the key" Neji said calmly.

"HYUUGA NEJI! WE HAVEN'T BEEN HERE 5 MINUTES AND YOU'VE ALREADY LOST THE…" Tenten said shouting, but was cut off by Neji.

"Tenten, relax. The people at the front desk will give us a new one. And besides, you still have you're key!" Neji stated. Tenten glared at him. "I think I'll go down to the front desk and explain what happened" Neji said, looking at a raging Tenten.


"Umm… Naruto-Kun?"

"Yes, Hinata-chan?" Naruto said, happily unpacking.

"Did you bring anything BESIDES ramen?" Hinata asked.

(I've decided that I don't want Hinata to stutter in this story. It's to much to type. So if you're wondering why she's not stuttering, that's why! Let's just pretend that she out-grew her stuttering habit, or something like that!)

"Well, sure! I brought clothes, and Kyuubi, my stuffed fox, and Uhh… that's it" Naruto said, embarrassed.

Hinata giggled. "Typical…".


"Did you HAVE to bring so much stuff, Ino?" Shikamaru said, sighing.

"Is it a problem?" Ino said, sounding offended.

"I guess not…" Shikamaru said lazily.

"That's what I thought!" Ino said triumphantly.

"Girls are so troublesome…"


Sakura unlocked the door to room 809. Sakura opened the door, walked in, and flicked on the lights. Her eyes landed on the bed in the room. The ONLY bed in the room. "Hehe…Uhh, Sasuke?" Sakura asked nervously, eyes still glued to the bed.

"Hmm?" Sasuke said, setting his suitcase down. He followed her eyes. "What? It's no big deal" Sasuke said calmly.

"Oh. It's just that I didn't expect there to only be one…" Sakura said, but Sasuke cut her off.

"You know, you talk to much" Sasuke said, trying to sound reassuring.

Sakura giggled. "That's what everyone says about Ino. Normally, people just say that they've never seen a girl with pink hair before!".

Sasuke laughed. "Come on, let's start unpacking" Sasuke said, picking up his suitcase and setting it on the bed. "Then maybe we can go get some dinner at the resort's restaurant together? Ino said the food was great!".

Sakura put her suitcase alongside Sasuke's. "I'd like that" She said smiling.

They both began unpacking. There were a few minutes of silence before Sasuke spoke. "So Pinky, you ready?".

"Umm…almost. Just let me finish unpacking this last bit of stuff…" But Sakura was cut off by a voice whispering into her ear.

"Finish it later" Sasuke whispered to Sakura. Then he gently pecked her on the cheek and whispered into her ear "Let's go".

Sakura dropped what she was doing and followed Sasuke out the door and into the nearest elevator. "Thank you, Sasuke" Sakura said smiling.

Sasuke wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "For what? Inviting you to dinner? It's nothing, I wanted to" Sasuke whispered into her ear.

Sakura blushed, but wrapped her arm around his waist. "That's really sweet of you, Sasuke".

"Anything for you" Sasuke said flashing Sakura a smile one of his fangirls would have fainted over. And with that, the elevator doors slid open, and Sasuke and Sakura walked together toward the resort's restaurant.

Tbc…
