Chapter 7
Shikamaru and Naruto went to report the mission to the Hokage. Neji… went to training, as usual. (Sometimes I wonder will he ever take a break…) Sakura head straight home. Stumbling a few times, obviously thinking about the dream. She growled slightly when she noticed that there are males that drooled at her. 'Damn hentai…' Sakura thought. 'Well you DID wear extremely exposing…' inner Sakura said. Sakura rolled her eyes.
She reached her apartment and was about to enter when… "Sakura!" a screechy voice called. Sakura jumped slightly, 'Oh no… Not now…' Sakura sighed. She turned around to see Ino (Duh… who would be able to screech like that?) and Hinata running towards her. Sakura blinked, 'Now since when did Hinata hang out with Ino?' she thought. 'Guess a lot happened during the missions eh?' inner Sakura giggled. (Yep… Sakura went to missions a lot) 'It's just a week!' Sakura laughed along. 'You wouldn't know…' inner Sakura said.
Ino and Hinata were panting. Sakura raise a brow, "What's the rush?" she crossed her arms. "We (Pant) were just… (Pant) worried…" Hinata took a deep breath. Ino nodded. Sakura sweatdropped, "I'm perfectly fine…" she sighed. This time Ino raise a brow, "I can tell you're lying…" she said placing her hands on her hips. Sakura rolled her eyes. Hinata giggled, "We were having a sleepover! Totally a girls' night!" Hinata waved her fist in the air. Sakura's eyes widened. "Nani?" Hinata asked. "Y-you… did not s-stutter!" Sakura pointed a finger towards Hinata. Hinata sweatdropped and giggled.
Sakura's jaw dropped. Ino patted her back, "All I need to do is a bit encouraging!" she grinned. Sakura shook her head. 'Whoa… that's…' inner Sakura couldn't express her awe. "So…" Ino and Hinata chorused. Sakura blinked. Ino rolled her eyes, "The sleepover!" she said. Sakura mouthed an 'o'. They sweatdropped. Sakura was about to decline when… "You're coming! That's final!" Ino said. Sakura twitched and was gonna protest. Ino shot her a glare, immediately silencing Sakura. Sakura shrugged, "Fine… I'll go…" she sighed.
Ino and Hinata were practically doing the victory dance. Sakura sweatdropped. 'Whoa… she even learned Ino's victory dance…' inner Sakura's eyes widened. 'Great…' Sakura inwardly snorted.
"Today, at Hinata's. Be there at 6!" Ino said. Sakura sighed and entered her apartment, "Then I'm gonna get ready now…" she mumbled. Ino and Hinata waved and left. Sakura shut the door behind her and sighed deeply. 'So much for relaxing…' she rubbed her temple. Then she proceeded to packing her things to Hinata's house.
At the Hokage's office… "Nani? Sakura's been acting weird?" the Godaime, Tsunade asked. "Troublesome…" Shikamaru sighed. Naruto nodded, "She almost lost her concentration during the 'ambush'" Naruto said. Tsunade raise a brow, "Ambush?" she asked. "We believed that someone followed us. But somehow not even Sakura can sense them…" Shikamaru said. Tsunade nodded. "She also seems to be deep in thoughts every time!" Naruto said.
Tsunade nodded, "Good work… You can go now…" she said. Naruto and Shikamaru bowed in respect before leaving. (O.o Whoa I knew Naruto won't do that but they are older now eh? XD) Tsunade eyed them leaving and sighed. She leaned her elbow on her desk and placed her chin on the back of her palm. "Sakura… What am I going to do with you?" she said with her eyes closed tight.
"Achoo!" Sakura sneezed. She was taking a shower right now. She rubbed her nose, 'Kuso… Someone is spreading rumors about me…' she thought. 'Or maybe you're just over reacting' inner Sakura reasoned. 'Maybe…' Sakura thought as she grabbed her towel and got out of shower. She wore a pink turtle neck, sleeveless shirt and three quarter black jeans. She eyed the clock, '4.45…' and proceeds to dry her hair. She combed her hair when it was dry. She then packed her clothing and stuff.
"Finally!" Sakura seems to say that out loud and plopped on her dark pink bed. Once again deep in thoughts.
(Somewhere…)
The Sound Four was watching Sakura's every move. (Remember the stalkers?) "Let's just catch that bitch and get this mission over with…" Tayuya hissed. Sakon chuckled, "This is such a troublesome mission…" he said. "But… why would Orochimaru-sama want US to get her?" Kidoumaru asked. Tayuya snorted, "She's just a weak little slut" she said. "We're only following orders… We must not question Orochimaru-sama's orders…" Jiroubo said. Tayuya rolled her eyes.
"We'll wait for the right time… Let's just take this time to observe her…" Kidoumaru said. Then they disappeared again.
(Back to Sakura…)
Sakura perked up of her bed, 'What… what was that feeling?' she thought. 'The feeling… of being watched…' inner Sakura said. Sakura's eyes narrowed, trying to sense a presence. Unable to sense anything she growled, 'I'm getting of this!' she gritted her teeth. 'Calm down…' inner Sakura said. 'By the way… isn't time to go to Hinata's?' inner Sakura reminded. Sakura eyed the clock and her eyes widened. "Oh shit…" she muttered.
She grabbed her bag and ran towards Hinata's house. 'Ino is going to screech a lot…' Sakura sighed. Inner Sakura shuddered.
Sakura arrived. "Who are you?" the guard asked. Sakura shot her head up, "Hinata's friend, Haruno Sakura. Here for sleepover" she simply said. The guard nodded and opened the gates. Sakura went it and rang the doorbell.
"Sakura! You're late!" Ino screeched as soon as the door opens. Sakura covered her ears with hands, "Jeez! I know, Ino! You don't have to yell…" Sakura said. Ino rolled her eyes. "Ma… Come in Sakura-chan…" Hinata said. Hinata lead Sakura to the living room. Sakura noticed Hinata is acting weird. Sakura raise her eyebrows when she arrived at the living room.
In the living room were boys namely Neji, Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara and Shikamaru. Sakura turned to Ino and Hinata who was behind her, "Girls' night eh…?" Sakura said sarcastically. Ino looked away while Hinata laughed nervously. Sakura sighed. 'This is going to be along night…' inner Sakura and Sakura said together.
"I'll go make the drinks…" Hinata said and went to the kitchen. "We're gonna stay in Hinata's room…" Ino whispered. Sakura nodded. Naruto and Sasuke were arguing, as usual. Shikamaru would be lying on the couch. Neji and Gaara would just sit still and do… nothing. 'How did they manage to live only with training?' Sakura rolled her eyes. Inner Sakura laughed.
Ding dong… the doorbell rang. 'There are more people?' Sakura thought as she eyes Ino heading towards the door. The doors opened and revealed LEE! Sakura's eyes widened, 'Oh shit…' inner Sakura and Sakura chorused, again. Wait… There also… TENTEN? 'Huh? Are they… holding hands?' inner Sakura and Sakura thought. "Hey Tenten! Hey Lee!" Ino said happily. Sakura is OBVIOUSLY confused right now.
Few moments later and Hinata came back with their drinks.
"Oh… I see" Sakura said. Tenten was blushing and Lee was grinning. "Yup so now you know… They are a couple!" Ino said. Sakura was relieved, 'Phew…" she mentally sighed. 'Whoa I can't believe it… Tenten with Lee?' inner Sakura said. 'What's wrong with that?' Sakura asked. Inner Sakura shrugged.
'In one week time everything seems to be changed…' inner Sakura said. 'Yeah…' Sakura agreed. 'Change for the better ne?' inner Sakura said. Sakura did not reply inner Sakura.
There was a VERY THICK silence. Ino, being the loudmouth, can't stand it anymore and decided to play something. "Hey let's play a game!" she screeched. Sakura and Hinata inched away. "What game?" the others asked exceptional of Neji, Gaara, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Sakura and Hinata. Ino grinned, "Truth and Dare…" she said. "Troublesome…" Shikamaru mumbled. Ino shot him a look making Shikamaru sweatdrop. "Everyone is playing and that's final…" Ino said in a venomous tone. Everyone flinched except Gaara, Neji and Sasuke. They played anyway.
"Let's start with… Naruto!" Ino smirked. Naruto gulped. "Truth or dare?" Ino asked in a creepy tone. "Err… Ano… Dare?" Naruto blurted. Ino smirked and that moment Naruto wished he didn't just said that. "Kiss the girl you probably like on the lips…" Ino smirked. Hinata blushed, 'Could it be me? Or Sakura-chan?' she thought. Question sucks… Her questions solved when Naruto walked towards her. Hinata blushed deep crimson. Naruto leaned down and kissed her on the lips. They parted, both blushing heavily. Naruto looked like a tomato while Hinata looked like she was going to faint.
'Now that's Hinata's habit Ino won't be able to change…' Sakura smirked. 'Yeah…' inner Sakura giggled. "Ano… I choose Shikamaru!" Naruto said, pointing his index finger at him. Shikamaru sighed, "Troublesome… Dare…" he mumbled. "Same dare as mine!" Naruto grinned. Shikamaru stood up and walked towards Ino. Ino blinked when Shikamaru leaned down and kissed her on her lips. Shikamaru parted and looked at Ino's flushed face. Then he smirked slightly and returned to his seat.
"Lee…" Shikamaru muttered. Lee did the 'nice guy' pose and his pearly teeth sparkled, "For the spring of youth I choose Dare!" he said. Shikamaru was about to say the dare when… "Yosh Lee! Youth with always be following you!" a man wearing the same clothes as Lee said. (Guess who? P) "Gai-sensei!" Lee exclaimed. Veins appeared on Tenten's forehead.
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
"Lee!"
"Gai-sensei!"
"Le—…" the voice had been cut by Tenten's weapon hitting Gai and sends him flying back to the Hokage's office.
"Gai-sensei! The youth will always follow you too!" Lee cried anime style and sunset appeared. Tenten hit his head, "Just get on with the dare…" she twitched. Everyone sweatdropped.
"The dare is… I dare you to keep the youth thing away until tomorrow morning…" Shikamaru said causing everyone to sweatdrop. "What? It's annoying me… It's troublesome…" Shikamaru said. Everyone shrugged. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Lee said dramatically. Tenten sighed and knocked him unconscious. "Err Tenten you may be excused from this game… Bring Lee to the room and stay there…" Ino said. Tenten got up and dragged Lee to the room.
"Okay… Lee is gone to Shikamaru choose again…" Hinata said. "Troublesome…" Shikamaru said. Ino twitched and swung Shikamaru around, "Would-You-Stop-It-With-The-Troublesome-Word!" she yelled. Sakura sweatdropped, "Ino I think he's getting pale and sick…" Sakura said. Ino stopped and fumed. Shikamaru's face was green and he ran to the bathroom. Ino following suit. Before they could celebrate, "And don't think of stopping the game! I'll be back!" Ino said. Everyone sighed and waited Ino's arrival.
Few minutes later Ino came back without Shikamaru. "He went to bed…" Ino fumed. Sakura rolled her eyes. "So… next is Neji!" Ino said. Neji glared at Ino but she shrugged it off. "Neji you have to stay with Sakura in the closet for 20 minutes" Ino grinned. "WHAT!" Neji, Naruto and Sakura yelled. (Okay… Neji didn't exactly yell and Naruto was protective over Sakura)
Gaara glared at Ino and Neji. (Remember him being the older brother type?) "A dare is a dare…" Ino shrugged. Neji stood up and head to the closet. Sakura shot Ino a glare before following.
Ino locked the closet and start the timer. "One minutes from… NOW!" Ino said and left the two there.
In the closet. "Stupid Ino-pig…" Sakura muttered. "Hn…" Neji hn'ed. (XD) There was a brick silence then, "Ino! How many time left!" Sakura asked. "18 more!" Ino replied. "What the freak? That slow?" Sakura mumbled. Sakura shifted a lot. "Stop it" Neji is annoyed. Sakura rolled her eyes. One minute later she felt something crawling at her back. She turned around and paled. Then yelped and jumped. "Stop it!" Neji said. Neji looked at Sakura, who was struggling to stay still. "What is it?" Neji asked.
"A… a bug…" Sakura said, her voice broke a little. Neji rolled his white eyes, "It's just a bug…" he said. "But it's big!" Sakura said. "Hn…" Neji ignored her. "Neji!" Sakura snapped. "Fine… Where's the bug?" Neji said. They shifted places so now Sakura's back is facing Neji. Neji looked for the bug, "Where is it?" he asked. "Down my neck…" Sakura said, her voice a bit scared. Neji sighed and looked for it, "I can't see it…" he said. "Then use your Byakugan!" Sakura practically yelled.
Neji activated his Byakugan and looked for the bug. He then gulped, "It's…" he said. "Where is it?" Sakura asked, getting a bit freaked. "Damn… It's on your lower back…" Neji said. "Get it off…" Sakura said, obviously freaked out. "What? No!" Neji exclaimed. "Just get the damn bug off!" Sakura said. "No!" Neji protested. Sakura was shivering, "Please Neji…" Sakura pleaded. Neji raise a brow.
'Whoa… never knew Sakura could be scared of bugs this much!' inner Neji said. 'Pathetic…' Neji rolled his eyes. 'And you were scared to get it off!' inner Neji said. 'I'm not scared! It's just…' Neji reasoned. 'Just what?' inner Neji asked, although knew the answer. 'It's inappropriate' Neji thought. 'It's just helping to get the bug off!' inner Neji restrained himself from laughing. '…' Neji thought for a while.
Neji nervously reached for the bug. 'Maintain calm…' Neji reminded himself. When he almost reaches for the bug it flew away towards Sakura's face. Sakura yelped and stumbled backwards. She fell right onto… Neji's chest. "What the hell?" Neji rubbed his head. Sakura looked up and saw Neji's face near hers. She blushed, not seen by Neji because of the darkness. She struggled to get up but only to fell again. This time… their lips met. Their eyes widened.
(Prepare for OOC people. And to those who don't like Neji being OOC… Please stop reading)
They stayed like that for a while. Sakura was about to pull away when she felt Neji's hands pulled her towards him. Sakura's eyes widened more, 'Oh my god… is Neji kissing me?' she thought. Inner Sakura did not response because she was too shocked. (XD) Sakura did not know what to do. She slowly replied the actions and this time Neji's shocked. Neji licked her lower lips and Sakura opened her mouths slightly.
Before Neji was about to start the 'Tongue War', a voice said "Oi! Time's up!" Ino said. Both quickly pulled away as they heard Ino opening the closet door. "So… What did you two do?" Ino smirked. Sakura and Neji looked away. Both exited the closet. "Okay guys… I think we should head to sheets now…" Hinata said. Ino pouted but dragged by Hinata to the room. Sakura followed suite.
Neji lead the boys to his room. 'Whoa… you did not just do that did you?' finally inner Neji said something. '…' Neji was silent, thinking of the flashback. He slightly blushed. Gaara noticed and glared at him. Naruto was just dreaming of him kissing Hinata back just now.
'Whoa… I never knew Neji had the guts to do that…' inner Sakura said. '…' Like Neji, she was also silent, thinking the flashbacks. Sakura shook her head and rubbed her temples, "What did I get myself into?" Sakura mumbled. "Sakura… you said something?" Ino asked, smirking. Sakura blushed, "Nothing!" she answered, too fast. "Riiiiight…" Ino rolled her eyes. Sakura glared at Ino. That's how the dreaded sleepover went. Yep… Girls' night indeed.
