Important Note:

I decided that you guys will be in control of whom Sakura ends up with. There is a poll on my profile where you can go vote up to 4 choices of who you want Sakura to end up with. Now I won't just toss her to the winner, the top five guys then will fight for Sakura's heart and they will be the ones advancing in the story.


Previous Chapter 7:

"Later for that," Shino said getting everyone's attention. "Sakura is dying while you guys are fighting over there. Who here knows CPR?"

"Move out the way," someone snarled pushing through the crowd.

Sai pushed Neji out of the way and kneeled on the side of Sakura.

"You know CPR?" Kiba wondered.

Sai ignored him as he tilted Sakura's head up slightly. He placed both hands, one on top of the other on Sakura chest and pushed down three times.

"He's touching Sakura's boobs," Naruto whispered to Gaara.

"I wanted to do that," a guy behind Shino said.

Everyone watched as Sai lowered his head near Sakura's and opened her mouth. He then covered his mouth over Sakura's lips and breathed into her mouth. They watched as he repeated the steps three times. On the fourth try Sakura mouth opened and she coughed up water on Sai's face.

"Great job, Ugly," Sai said sitting up wiping of his face.

Sakura sat up to see everyone staring at her.


Chapter 8: Itachi's Pool Party Part 2

"What are you guys looking at?" Sakura whispered looking around. They were all looking at her with wide eyes and open mouths.

"You almost died," Kiba whispered.

"What are you talking about?" Sakura wondered looking at all of the faces.

"Tobi," Itachi glared at him. "Hit you with a beach ball in the back of your head and you fell into the pool."

Tobi rushed over and threw his arms around Sakura holding her tight. "I am so sorry," he said pulling her closer.

"Unconscious," Sasuke added in.

"Then I jumped in to save your life," Neji said grinning at Sakura.

Sakura's eyes widened immediately. "Did he give me CPR?" Sakura questioned with a look of horror on her face.

"No," Naruto answered.

Sakura let out of sigh of relief. Gaara then pried Tobi off of her helped her up and gave her a glass of fruit punch which she started to drink.

"Sai did," Naruto finished.

Sakura spit her drink into Gaara's face. "HE WHAT?" Sakura shrieked.

"I gave you CPR which means I saved your life," Sai smirked leaning against a wall.

"Excuse me Sasuke, where is the bathroom again?" Sakura asked turning around.

"Second floor, third door on the left," Sasuke replied.

Sakura walked briskly towards the Uchiha's house.

"Where are you going Sakura?" Shino asked.

"TO GO WASH MY MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP!" she screamed opening the front door.

"She doesn't seem very happy," Naruto said.

"How would you feel if you drowned and woke up to find out Sasuke gave you CPR?" Kiba smiled.

"THAT IS DISGUSTING AND A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE, IT HAS TO BE A GIRL NOT CHICKEN BUTT!" Naruto shouted chasing Kiba.

"Guys you're not supposed to be running around the pool," Shika sighed.

"Shut up, Mom," Kiba laughed. Naruto then slipped on a spilled ice-cream cone and fell taking Kiba with him into the pool.

"Maybe you should listen to Shikamaru more," Gaara smirked.

"SHUT UP!" Naruto and Kiba yelled climbing the ladder to get out of the pool.

Sakura came back outside with a glass of water her head tilted back gargling.

"Come on it wasn't that bad," Sai said taking the glass from her hand.

Sakura held up a finger and went behind a bush to spit the water out. "I'll have you know that it was horrible."

"How would you know?" Sai started. "You were unconscious." Sai stepped closer to her and draped an arm around her neck. "Actually I thought it was pretty nice your lips taste just like strawberries."

Sakura froze and blushed as Sai stepped in front of her. "I wouldn't mind doing it again," Sai smirked leaning forward his forehead touching hers.

He then started laughing his head off.

"What's so funny?" Sakura snapped.

"You should have seen your face, Ugly," he laughed. "You actually thought I was going to kiss you again, as if."

Sakura stepped closer to Sai and leaning forward. "That's too bad; I was going to take you up on your offer."

"You were."

Sakura then swung her leg around and did a roundhouse kick sending Sai into the pool. Sai swam back up after ten seconds.

"Ugly," Sai growled.

"Oops, I'm so sorry," Sakura said. "It was an accident." Sakura turned on her heel and went over to get her wrap. She tied it around her waist tightly when she heard a groan. Neji was staring at her with a frown on his face.

"What?" Sakura asked confused.

"Why do you have to put that wrap on?" Neji whined. "Now I can't stare at your as-"

"MY WHAT?" Sakura snapped.

"Your…eyes," Neji said quickly trying to recover.

"My eyes are up here," Sakura pointed. "You were saying my a-"

"Look someone's drowning," Neji gasped interrupting her. "Got to go." He then ran out of the gate.

"What was that about?" Deidara muttered coming from behind Sakura.

"I don't know," Sakura answered honestly.

"Come on," Deidara said grabbing Sakura's hand. "You promised to swim with me, yeah."

Sakura looked down at the hand clutching hers. "Ummm…I was going to go get a slice of pizza."

Come on," Deidara growled pulling her towards the pool.

"I don't want to get in, I've already drowned today."

"Don't worry; I won't let anything happen to you, yeah."

Sakura unwrapped the wrap around her waist and took Deidara's hand as he helped her step into the pool. Soon they were side by side bobbling in the water.

"See it wasn't that bad, yeah."

"Yeah," Sakura said, "but I still wanted that pizza."

Deidara laughed. "You and your pizza. They'll be plenty of time for pizza."

Sakura sighed. "I guess. But there better still be some left when I get over there or you're going down."

"Don't worry," Sai started sitting next to Deidara and Sakura poolside, "with your ugly face you'll probably scare everybody away from the pizza.

Sakura glared at him. "Don't make me push you back into the water.

"You wouldn't." Sai smirked.

Then quick as a flash, Sakura grabbed Sai's leg and before he could try to crawl away, she yanked him back into the water with a huge splash. Deidara laughed. So did Sakura.

Sai came up sputtering water. "This isn't funny, Ugly."

Sakura still laughed. "Yes it is. And I'm not ugly, I'm average."

"Whatever," Sai rolled his eyes and got out of the pool and walked away.

Deidara sighed and gave Sakura a glare.

"What?" Sakura wondered.

"Average come on, why don't you just admit you're hot?" Deidara stated.

"Well I'm not," Sakura told him swimming away.

"Whoa you don't know, yeah" Deidara said shocked catching up with Sakura.

"Know what?" Sakura asked curiously. She stopped and turned over on her back to float.

"You have your own fan clubs, you have already been nominated for prom queen and every guy wants to date you, yeah."

"Prom queen?" Sakura muttered. "I'm a freshman and I have only been here for a week."

"Well they seem to really like you, yeah," he grinned swimming closer to Sakura.

"But why do they?" Sakura wanted to know. "I'm nothing special."

"That's not true," Deidara said concerned.

"I'm not like those other girls who like to dress up and do all that girly stuff. I love scary movies, I eat like a pig and I love playing basketball."

"So not all guys like little delicate girls, yeah."

"So you don't care if your girlfriend could beat you to a pulp," Sakura said.

Deidara swam closer to Sakura so he was in front of her. "I think it's kinda sexy."

"You didn't say yeah," Sakura pointed out.

"Yeah," Deidara whispered as he swam closer to her their faces inches apart.

"SAKURA," Naruto yelled. "THEY HAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE!

"Chocolate cake," Sakura shrieked. "I got to go," Sakura sang getting out of the pool. She whipped her head around to wave to Deidara. "It was nice talking to you."

"Yeah, nice talk," he said bitterly under his breath. He then waved and smiled as he saw her get in line for cake.

Sakura arrived at the front and put up one of the many plates. Itachi smirked at her from across the table.

"I know how you can get a whole cake," Itachi replied.

"How?" Sakura asked. Sakura thought for a second and changed her mind. "No thanks."

"You didn't even hear what I had to say," Itachi answered defensively.

"It was probably something perverted," Sakura said disgustedly.

"You know me so well," Itachi smirked. "Doesn't she Sasuke?" Itachi echoed elbowing his brother.

"Will you leave me alone?" Sasuke growled.

"Itachi they're here!" a bodyguard yelled from across the yard.

"Who's here? Sakura and Sasuke asked together.

"Hey everybody take your seats!" Itachi screamed. Sakura sat in an empty beach chair next to Sasori.

"Where have you been?"

"I was watching TV in Itachi's house," he answered uninterested in what was happing.

Gaara sat in the beach chair next to Sakura. "Hey what's going on?"

"I don't know, carrot top here is no help," Sakura stated pointing at Sasori. Sasori glared at Sakura. "What did you say?" he ordered.

"Nothing," Sakura said quickly. As techno music blasted through the speakers the gate was opened. Sakura's mouth dropped open. In walked four scantily dressed men and women. "He hired strippers for a pool party," Sakura gasped.

Wolf whistles were heard as the women started to disperse among the crowd dancing to the music. One of the blonde's got a lot of attention when she did a split.

"Who hires strippers for a pool party?" Sakura asked nobody in particular.

"THIS IS THE BEST PARTY EVER!" Sakura heard Kiba and Naruto yell snapping pictures.

"This is just sick," Sakura said disgusted. "Isn't it Gaara?"

"Gaara?" Sakura turned to see her friend looking too!

"Gaara!" Sakura croaked.

"What?" Gaara said defensively. "I can't help it there right in my face," he pointed to the blond now shaking her chest in his face.

"Close your eyes," Sakura suggested when she felt someone staring at her. She twisted her head to the left to see one of the male strippers making his way towards her. He had long dark hair and beautiful blue eyes. His sculpted body was in a skintight firefighter outfit, just the pants and the suspenders digging into his six-pack.

Sakura eyes wided when circled around her chair shaking his hips back and forth and thrusting them in her direction. Sakura may not have made a big deal out of it if he just backed away. He was really creeping her out.

He then climbed onto her beach chair. "W-what ar-r-e you d-oi-ng," she stuttered.

"Hunting my prey," he snarled hoving over her. "You're pretty cute," he smirked lowering his head closer to her.

Someone then pushed him off. Sakura saw that her rescuer was Sasuke and he didn't look very happy.

"Okay all of you out!" Sasuke ordered to all the strippers. They grabbed their stuff and quickly made their way towards the door.

"All come on," Naruto whined.

"Why you have to go ruin all the fun?" Tobi sobbed.

"I was just about to get her digits," Kiba said glumly.

Sasuke glared at all of them. "Okay we will shut up," Kiba said.

"I will not sh-" Naruto started. Kiba then covered Naruto's mouth with his hand. Sasuke walked away. Naruto at that moment licked Kiba's hand.

"Ewww, what's wrong with you?" Kiba wailed wiping his hand on his beach chair.

"You know you like it," Naruto declared.

"Are you okay Sakura?" Gaara asked. Naruto and Kiba walked over. "What's wrong with Sakura?"

"Did you not see that guy just about on top of her or were you to busy taking pictures?" Gaara questioned.

"WHAT, THAT GUY WAS ALL OVER MY SAKURA?" Naruto roared.

"Your?" Itachi said coming up behind him. "Why would she want to date you I mean, look at you," Itachi smirked.

"What's wrong with how I look?" Naruto asked.

Itachi ignored him. "I'm very sorry Sakura," Itachi grimace. "I clearly told them no physical contact with the guests.

"Why were they even here?" Sakura declared. "Normal people don't bring strippers to pool parties."

"True but I'm not really a normal person," Itachi grinned.

"That still doesn't explain why he attacked me; there were plenty of other girls here."

"Your beauty drew him in like bee to a flower," Naruto replied.

Sakura got up and put her hands around Naruto's neck.

"Umm…Sakura why are you trying to choking me?"

"I'm not choking you, my fingers are just hugging your neck.," Sakura growled.

Naruto blushed lightly and giggled. "Do your lips want to hug my lips?"

Naruto then fell into the pool from Sakura's powerful punch. Neji then returned through the gate.

"Guess what, I am now CPR certified," Neji smirked.

"Good I think Naruto may need some help," Kiba pointed to Naruto floating in the pool.

"Oops, I forget my…TOOTHBRUSH," Neji shouted running out of the Itachi manor again.

"I don't think he's coming back," Sakura replied as they watched him run up the street and hopped into his limo.

"Well now who's going to give Naruto CPR?" Shino questioned looking around.

"I have an idea," Shikamaru said. He walked over to the table and picked up a cup of ramen. He placed the cup at the edge of the pool and pulled out a mini fan. He turned it on and let the sweet aroma make its way to Naruto.

"RAMEN!" Naruto shouted with glee. He swam to the edge of the pool and quickly devoured it. "Is there anymore?"

"Over there," Sakura pointed to the table. Naruto ran over and started on his second cup.

"Okay now we know to bring ramen with us everywhere we go," Kiba chuckled.

Sakura yawned and stretched her arms. "Well I guess it's time to go," Sakura said.

"Whoa it's only 9:30," Tobi said coming from behind Sakura.

"Yeah that means I've been at this for two hours," Sakura stated.

"Come on it's just starting to get good."

Sakura watched as more seniors started entering the gate carrying coolers full of drinks. A lot of people Sakura was pretty sure didn't even go to their school. The music was turned on again, now blasting at an ear piercing volume.

"Great now it's definitely time to leave," Sakura said heading for the gate.

"Hey," Sasuke popped out of nowhere. "You're staying."

"Says who?" Sakura demanded stepping in front of him.

"Me," Sasuke smirked.

"Like I'm going to take orders from you and that chicken scratch you call hair," Sakura said dryly trying to step around Sasuke. Sasuke wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled in her into his chest.

"But we didn't even get to know each other," Sasuke smirked pushing a lock of her hair out of her face.

Sakura froze as he spinned her around towards the party breathing on her neck. "If you stay you can take the all the trays of dessert home," he whispered in her ear. He then walked off in the other direction.

Sakura glanced over at the many trays of cake and pie on the table. She sighed, he knew her weakness and he knew she could pass up free food.

Sakura walked back to her friends slowly taking a seat on the same chair as Shino. She watched as the seniors near the pool were throwing in girls just to see them get wet.

"I'm thirsty," Sakura announced. "I'm going to go get a drink."

"I'm coming too," Naruto told them.

"Me too," Kiba said.

The three walked over to the cooler and Sakura pulled off the lid. She reached in to get a coke when a guy walked up to her.

"Are you a parking ticket?" he asked.

"What?" Sakura said confused.

"Cause you have fine written all over you," he grinned finishing his pick up line

Naruto and Kiba then fell over laughing their heads off. Naruto wiped a tear out of the corner of his eye.

"That was the corniest pick up line ever," he said gasping for air.

"I know," Kiba laughed holding his stomach.

Sakura turned around to see the guy had already walked away and was sulking in a corner.

"I think you hurt his feelings," Kiba snorted grabbing his soda.

"I didn't even say anything, you guys were the ones laughing," Sakura said walking back towards the group. But before they even took a step another guy popped up.

"Can I get your picture?" he asked.

"Why?" Sakura muttered.

"So I can prove to my friends that angels really do exist." He grinned.

Naruto and Kiba then started laughing up a storm. "That was even worse," Kiba replied.

"Come on Sakura," Naruto said grabbing her arm and leading her back to their chairs.

"What took you so long?" Shikamaru asked.

"Sakura was getting hit on by these guys with horrible pick-up lines," Naruto teased.

"Yeah I mean I could have done better than that," Kiba bragged.

"Prove it," Shino demanded.

"Umm…" Kiba muttered thinking. "Oh, I got one." Kiba faced Sakura and cleared his throat. "Did you have Campbell's soup today?

"No," Sakura said bitterly.

"Because you're lookin' mmm... mmm... good!" Kiba ended.

"Not bad," Gaara said.

"I got one," Naruto cheered jumping up and down.

"Go ahead," Sakura gestured for him to continue.

"I'm Batman. Wanna see my batmobile?" Naruto said raising his eyebrows.

"I don't think you should use that," Gaara said disgustedly.

"Like you could do better," Naruto declared.

"I could and I'll prove it," Gaara answered.

Gaara looked deep into Sakura's eyes. "You look almost perfect...the only thing I can see that's wrong is your lips...they're not touching mine."

Sakura was quiet for a moment. "Was it good?" Gaara asked.

"It was…okay," Sakura responded taking a sip of her soda.

"What about you Shika?" Gaara asked anxiously.

Shikamaru glanced at Sakura and said. "I only have three months to live."

Sakura smirked. "Pretty clever."

"I don't get it," Naruto said scratching his head.

"He only has three months to live which means she will take pity on him and maybe go out with him" Gaara explained.

"Not always true," Sakura answered. "I mean if Neji said he only had three months to live I still wouldn't date him."

"That was harsh," Kiba laughed.

"Well it's true," Sakura informed them taking another quick sip from her bottle.

"Well Shino, you got anything?" Kiba asked.

"You must be the reason for global warming because you're hot.

"Wow," Naruto began. "That was really weak."

"You guys didn't say it had to be good," Shino pointed out.

"So Sakura," Shika started. "Tell us a pick up line."

"I don't know any, I never use them," Sakura implied placing her empty bottle on the ground.

"Think of one," Naruto said anxiously. Sakura thought for a second then laughed.

"What?" Naruto asked.

Sakura walked up Naruto and put her hand on his shoulder. "I like inexperienced men."

Everybody laughed expect for Naruto. "Sakura that was really mean."

"I'm sorry Naruto," Sakura grinned.

"Do I get a hug?"

"You're pushing your luck," Sakura glared.

Itachi then popped out of nowhere. "This one always works for me," Itachi said.

"Where did you come from?" Sakura wondered since he was all the way across the pool.

"I heard you were talking about pick-up lines and I had to let you know my favorite that always works for me," Itachi explained smirking along.

"What is it?" Naruto asked taking out a pen and paper.

"What has 142 teeth and holds back the incredible hunk?" Itachi asked them.

"What?" Sakura said slowly.

"My zipper," Itachi smirked. "It keeps the beast tamed."

"Man that was awesome," Naruto encouraged Itachi as he flexed his muscles.

"Are you kidding me?" Sakura snapped. "That made me want to gag."

"That line actually works," Gaara pressed trying to find the truth.

"Every time," Itachi smiled confidently.

Sakura glared at Itachi. "What?" Itachi said innocently. "If you think mine are bad you should listen to Tobi's."

"HEY TOBI!" Itachi yelled. Tobi turned towards them and Itachi motioned him over with his hand.

"Yeah, what's up? Tobi answered.

"We were just talking about pick up lines; care to let them hear a few of yours? Itachi instructed pointing the group.

"Of course," Tobi laughed. "Here's one of my favorites."

He cleared his throat and walked up to a random girl off to the side.

"Excuse me, can I read your T shirt in brail?" Tobi said waiting an answer.

She giggled and laid a hand on Tobi's chest.

"If you want it to be," She smiled inching towards him. She wrote her number on a piece of paper and handed it to him before he walked away.

"See?" Tobi said smugly pocketing the number.

"Oh please half the girls here would fall for that stupid pick up line," Sakura said angrily.

"I got plenty more where that came from baby," Tobi informed her.

Tobi pulled a girl by the hand toward him. She was a pretty blonde with at blue bikini several sizes too small. "Do you like bananas or blueberries?"

"Why?" She asked confused.

"I wanna know what kind of pancakes to make in the morning."

She frowned before she replied. "I don't like pancakes. I like sausage biscuits," she purred giving him a wink before walking off.

"See?" Tobi pointed out again.

"Okay, okay can we please stop talking about pick-up lines, it's starting to get on my nerves," Sakura lied so Tobi would stop.

"Wait, I got one more," Tobi grinned. "You wanna Austrian kiss. It's like a French kiss but it's down under.

"Now I am officially naming you a pervert," Sakura said stepping away from him.

Then Neji decided to rejoin the party. "Hey I love using pick up lines."

He looked Sakura up and down. "I've heard milk is good for the body but DANG, how much did you drink?"

A very irritated Sakura pushed the surprised Neji into the pool. "I thought you could use a bath," Sakura teased.

"Well I don't like to bathe alone," Neji snapped grabbing Sakura's ankle pulling her in.

"NO!" Sakura wailed before she was entirely underwater. She then came up for air pulling her hair out of her face.

She heard a moan and saw Neji staring at her. "Gosh you're even hotter when you wet."

"Okay time to go," Sakura said grabbing the hand Shika offered and helped her out.

Sakura walked quickly to the changing rooms grabbed a towel and dried herself off. She pulled on her shorts and zipped up her jacket. She opened up the door and started walking back to the guys.

"Well I'm ready to go," Sakura said grabbing all her stuff.

Sasuke strolled over as Sakura and her friends were leaving. "You know if you leave now, you're not going to get any cake," Sasuke informed her.

"Fine by me," Sakura assured him walking away.

"Bye ugly," Sai said. "Maybe this party will start to become fun."

Sakura smiled as she pushed him into the pool one last time before leaving.

"YOU HAG," Sai yelled angrily.

"BYE EVERYBODY, SEE YOU IN SCHOOL," Sakura announced to everyone at the pool party.

"You know half those people don't even attend our school," Shino implied wrapping his towel around his neck.

"I know," Sakura smiled warmly at him causing him to blush.

"Well it was nice of you to come," Itachi said. "Too bad you're leaving," he said glumly.

"I'm sure you'll survive," Sakura teased stepping out of the mansion yard and onto the street.

"It's only 10:30, the party just about to get good," Itachi pressed trying to get her to stay. "I just know it."

"I have a curfew which is 11:00 on the weekends," Sakura admitted.

"GIRLS GONE WILD!" Sakura and the others heard someone scream from behind the fence.

Naruto and Kiba were about to run before Sakura gave them a glare. "But Sakura they may be topless," Kiba whined pointing to his camera.

"You take one more step and I will rip you heads off and bang them together," Sakura growled. Kiba and Naruto walked back until they were behind her.

"Good boys."

"Well I got go," Itachi said looking back into the party. "Please make it home safely, I don't want anything happing to my little cherry blossom," he teased.

Gaara cleared his throat. "Come on Sakura," Gaara muttered.

"Well bye," Sakura said waving awkwardly to him. The group made their way to the back of the Uchiha's manor and the back gate opened revealing Deidara with a tray of cakes.

"Thank you so much for sneaking the cake out," Sakura said reaching for it.

"First a kiss, yeah," Deidara demanded.

"What?" Sakura shrieked.

"On the lips?" Shino questioned.

"Yeah," Deidara smirked.

"No way," Kiba snapped.

"Yeah what he said," Naruto blurted out.

"Will you just give me the cake? Sakura glared holding her hands out.

"Kiss," Deidara demanded.

"I am not kissing you on the lips," Sakura scowled.

"Fine my cheek," Deidara said ready to compromise.

"Fine," Sakura said standing on her tipsy toes to place her soft lips of his cheek for three seconds. Sakura then grabbed the cake quickly and made dash for it.

"THANKS DEIDARA!" Sakura screamed as she and the guys ran down the street waking up the neighborhood.

"Anytime," Deidara said to himself before heading back into the party.
