Chapter 7
Hey! Did you guys miss me? Well, I finally have time to update since my mom was on vacation for these past four days and she's back at work right now. :( Now, I'm back to doing some geometry everyday since my parents don't want my brain to rot. XD Anyways, it's rainy and stuff here and I'm really bored so I'm updating….so yeah….
Well, anyways, THANK YOU to all those who reviewed. You guys are so AWESOME –I checked my e-mail a couple of days ago and I was like I HAVE TEN REVIEWS AGAIN! WOOT! But of course, after that, I went shopping (dude, every girl likes shopping….) with my mom to congratulate myself and so I sort of forgot about updating….
Ok, this is a really long author's note at the beginning, but this is very important. Almost everybody on this site is at school now and they're updating less often, (duh, we have homework and evil teachers…) but luckily, I don't go to school till September 11th (isn't that creepy?) so don't worry, I'll update as often as I can till then. However, once school starts, I might only get to update once a week, okay? Now, ON WITH THE FIC!
Disclaimer: These things really depress me….if you really want me to say it then, no, I don't own Naruto…
----------------------------------
As soon as those words were out of Naruto's mouth, a crowd began gathering around the clearing where Sasuke (who's still naked) and Sakura (whose hand is still THERE) were sitting. Unfortunately, the crowd was made up of mostly fangirls…and some fanboys.
"AHHH! SASUKE'S TAKEN! WHAT WILL WE DO?"
"SAKURA! YOU BIYOTCH! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?"
"YOU'RE GOING DOWN SAKURA!"
Cries of revenge and plotting began swirling around them (the crowd) and soon, the head of the SFCF (Sasuke Fan Club Forever) spoke.
"Your punishment for defiling our precious Sasuke-kun is…" At the mention of "Sasuke-kun", Sasuke winced and Sakura turned red. However, the girl continued, "you're punishment is…."
However, the girl didn't get to finish her sentence and Sakura never knew what punishment awaited her because SOMEONE burst through the crowd of fangirls and started screaming.
"YOSH! SAKURA, MY YOUTHFUL CHERRY BLOSSOM, HOW DO YOU FARE? DO YOU WANT ME TO MAKE THIS UNYOUTHFUL UCHIHA DISAPPEAR?" Lee had emerged from the crowd, his face livid and his ginormous eyebrows twitching, causing the fangirls to scream in terror and run away. The ones that remained were scarred for life and passed out. Soon, the only ones left standing were Sai, Itachi, Kakashi, Naruto, and Tenten and Neji, who happened to walk by as the chaos began.
Sakura tried to calm the enraged Lee, but was failing because her hand was still THERE and Sasuke was still…er…naked.
"Lee, and the rest of you guys, can you guys…er…leave us alone for a minute?"
Cricket.
Cricket.
"Sure!" Lee stomped away, unhappy that his beautiful Sakura was defiled. The others, however, were hatching up a different scheme.
"Hey, Neji! Tenten! Come over here for a sec, will you?" Itachi beckoned the two over to where the others were standing. Naruto, however, was too busy with Hinata –cough-and making out-cough- to notice and didn't join in.
The two walked over.
"What is it?" Tenten asked, eager to help our favorite pervs.
"Do you want to help us…er…get Sasuke and Sakura together? Neji has to be in on this too, now that Lee isn't here…" Sai explained.
Neji narrowed his eyes, not liking where this was going. It was one thing for Tenten to talk to Sai, but it was another if he was going to be in on something he didn't want to participate in.
Kakashi and Itachi, knowing that Neji was going to back out of it unless something happened, quickly came up with a plan.
"You know, Neji…" Kakashi started.
"if you help us, we could introduce you to…" Itachi continued for him.
Everybody stopped and listened to what Kakashi and Itachi were saying.
"We could introduce to you Dove!" They both grinned, knowing that their plan would work.
Neji remained impassive while Tenten raised an eyebrow.
"Who's Dove?" she asked, not liking where this was going. (a little de ja vu, eh?)
"It's not who…" Kakashi began.
"It's what…" Itachi finished for him, again in their creepy mind-reading way.
It was Neji's turn to raise his eyebrow.
"What's Dove?"
"IT'S THE BEST SHAMPOO EVER! HINATA-CHAN USES IT ALL THE TIME AND HER HAIR SMELLS SO AWESOME! BELIEVE IT!"
Apparently, Naruto had decided to join in on the conversation even if it meant putting his make-out session with Hinata on hold, now that it was centered around the shampoo HIS Hinata—chan used.
Neji immediately nodded.
"I'm in…" I've been wanting to know what shampoo Hinata has been using anyways…she never tells me though…. Neji thought.
Tenten grinned, relieved that the Hyuuga was going to do something with her. (not THAT way people…geez….if you want to read about something like that, read "Attack of the Inners" –my other fic….seriously….I'm going to try to make this fic more…er…entertaining –the other one is just for my amusement…)
"Yay! Now what do you want us to do?"
Sai smirked, realizing Itachi and Kakashi's plan. This will be like killing two birds with one stone…he thought. (if you're confused about what he's thinking, read on –basically, they're going to make some sasusaku and nejiten happen…)
"Tenten, you're going to flirt with the Uchiha…"
Tenten looked at Itachi, and wrinkled her nose.
"No…not THAT Uchiha –I meant Chicken-head over there…"
At that, Tenten looked relieved and nodded.
"Sure…"
Neji frowned. He REALLY did not like where this was going and did NOT want Tenten anywhere near the Uchiha.
"And you, Neji, you're going to flirt with Sakura…" Sai continued, oblivious to the fact that Tenten was turning red (with anger…. XD) and Neji was ignoring Tenten, mainly because he was busy…er…braiding his hair and thinking what it'd look like if it was blue. (now, now Neji…I'd DIE if your hair was blue…)
Itachi coughed, "Er…so, are you two up to it?"
Neji and Tenten nodded and both stormed off to Ichiraku's where Kakashi said that Sasuke and Sakura were heading.
-----------------------------------------------
"Er…Sasuke…I think you should get dressed now…your wound is healed so…" Sakura was at the point of stuttering, had it not been her self control, she would have … er….raped…Sasuke by now, like her Inner was telling her to.
Sasuke looked at her, "I will, once I find my boxers…" A slight blush tinted his face.
Sakura started snorting, and Sasuke's eyebrows began twitching. Sakura finally stopped hiccuping and snorting and pointed to a nearby bush, where his boxers were snagged on the branches.
Sasuke calmly walked toward the bush and put his boxers on and proceeded with putting the rest of his clothes on. However, his shirt seemed to have disappeared.
"Sakura…have you seen my shirt?"
"Um…I think one of your fangirls took it…" Sakura lied. In truth, it was hidden in her purse, folded in a big wad of cloth.
Sasuke shrugged. At least it wasn't cold out yet…He coughed, "Er…why don't we go out and tell the others that we're ready and that we should go to Ichiraku's…"
"Sure!"
They walked towards the streets and went to the group that was waiting for them.
"Itachi! We're ready to go!" Sakura called.
…And they headed to Ichiraku's…..
------------
At Ichiraku's the group spread out. Itachi, Kakashi, and Sai went to a corner and started discussing "battle" plans, while Sakura and Sasuke went to opposite sides of benches and ordered some miso ramen.
Meanwhile, Neji and Tenten started their act….(drumroll…)
"So…Sasuke….what's up?" Tenten walked up to Sasuke and seated herself next to him, and proceeded to unbutton her Chinese-styled shirt until it was half-open, revealing her…assets…
Sasuke began blushing, and debating with his Inner.
Ooh la la…I see paradise……
Hey…so what are you going to do? She's obviously flirting with you, and she is kind of cute –reminds me of Sakura, by the way…
I have no idea what to do…seriously, it's bad enough with crowds of fangirls…now, the only girl who's never liked me is practically on top of me…I definitely need some help here…
Well, either accept her or reject her…but don't reject her like the other girls –just make her understand that you're JUST FRIENDS, got it loverboy?
Hn… Did you just "hn" me?…
You are going DOWN when this is all over, got it?…
Sasuke fortunately snapped out of his thoughts just as Tenten began to lapdance on him. He looked to where Sakura was sitting and was pleased to see her fuming and turning red. However, his triumph was ruined when he saw the Hyuuga get up and begin to flirt with her –she began blushing.
Looking at Tenten, Sasuke did the only thing he could think of for revenge.
He pressed his mouth onto hers.
Tenten immediately stiffened. What should I do? Then, remembering her deal with Kakashi, Itachi, and Sai, she relaxed and opened her mouth, demanding entrance.
(don't worry –this is NOT a sasuten fic –this is just going to make it more complicated and stuff for sasuke and sakura, okay? Don't worry and don't flame me, got it?)
They continued like this for about a few minutes, until both broke the kiss, gasping and panting for air. However, neither was pleased at all. Tenten felt empty and could only think of Neji. Sasuke, on the other hand, felt like something was out of place. He turned to where Sakura sat, and instantly knew that she had seen him and Tenten. Eyes filled with rage, Sakura turned, so her back faced his.
Meanwhile, Tenten and Sasuke sighed.
"So…" Sasuke said, trying to lighten things up.
"…"
"things weren't supposed to end up like that, and I'm sorry…I don't like you that way, okay?"
Tenten looked at Sasuke as he spoke and replied, "Good, 'cause I like Neji..and that was my first kiss! It was supposed to be with Neji!" Tenten frowned, reminding herself to beat up Sai and the others once the night was over.
"Now what do we do?"
Tenten stared at Sasuke strangely, "What do you mean? We're just friends right now, aren't we? So why don't we talk about something…"
Sasuke nodded.
------------------------------------
"So, have I ever mentioned how much your hair reminds me of the sakura blossoms in the springtime, Sakura?" Neji was smoothly flirting with Sakura, like he had always done it, but was really shivering and puking inside. I sound like Lee! Oh my god, fate is so cruel to me…please, Sakura, just punch me out of my misery….
However, much to Neji's dismay, Sakura brightened, "Thanks Neji! No one has really paid attention to me like this…so I guess, what I'm trying to say is, well…thank you…" Neji's face was now surprisingly close to Sakura's, and they both gulped. Noticing this, they both laughed.
"So…do you want to try it?" Neji asked, thinking about Dove while forcing himself to say this.
"…um…sure…" Sakura's fist clenched as she remembered seeing Sasuke and Tenten making out a few minutes ago.
And so their mouths met, and their tongues explored each other for the next few seconds. Suddenly, Neji pulled back.
"I don't think we should be doing this…"
Sakura grinned quickly but it was replaced with a small frown, "Neither do I…how about we just stay friends and forget that this ever happened?"
"Sure."
------------------------------------
Kakashi, Sai, and Itachi were both smirking at the results of their plans.
"At this rate, they're going to have to get a room by the end of the month.." declared Kakashi.
"No…I bet by the end of this week…" Itachi challenged.
However, Sai continued looking on at the 4 ninjas. "Who are you talking about? Neji and Tenten? Or Sasuke and Sakura? 'Cause I bet they'll be going steady by the end of these 2 days."
--------------------------------
Neji sighed. This wasn't going anywhere and he REALLY wanted that Dove shampoo. Seriously. Right now, he would kill for that bottle of shampoo and he REALLY wasn't in the mood to deal with a whiny weak girl. Not that Sakura was whiny or weak, but she represented that since she was whiny and weak before. (sighs again…)
Sakura caught Neji sighing and looking in another direction. Seeing him staring at Tenten, she suddenly got a bright idea.
"Hey Neji! Why don't we go sit with Tenten!"
Neji looked at her.
"Why?" he asked, fighting down the urge to drag Sakura to where Tenten was sitting.
"Well, for one, she's your teammate and she might give you better company than I am, and also, you were staring at her a couple of minutes ago."
Neji sighed for the 10th time that day.
"Hn…"
Sakura, taking this for a "yes", got up and dragged him there. They sat down on the bench next to Sasuke and Tenten's and began to talk. Well, Sakura began to talk.
"Hey Tenten! What's up? I haven't seen you around lately!"
Tenten, who hadn't seen Neji and Sakura's kiss, brightened up, "Hey Neji! Sakura! How's it going?"
She immediately got up and sat down next to Neji.
"Hey, Neji…" She cuddled up to him, whispering so no one else could hear, "I'm sorry I had to kiss the teme, but it was all for the Dove, okay?" She winked at him, causing the Hyuuga's stomach to twist into many knots –which was a good thing.
Neji nodded, and put an arm over her protectively, "Well, I'm sorry I had to kiss the cherry blossom over there, since it was all for that poisonous kunai Sai said he would give you once this was over."
Tenten pouted, not liking anyone else kissing HER Neji.
"Well, Neji, you know you have to make it up to me somehow…"
Neji smirked, "And you have to make it up to me, too…"
Tenten grinned, "So, want to see who's the better kisser?"
"I am…"
"No, I am –you should have seen the look Sasuke gave me –it was like he had seen paradise…."
Neji frowned, "Hey, you're MY paradise, and plus, Sakura was positively drooling over me…"
"Well, let's test each other then…"
"What? By asking them?" Neji pointed to Sasuke and Sakura who were currently arguing over something.
Tenten moved closer, "No, by doing this…" and (of course) Tenten placed her mouth over his, and teased his lips while he demanded entrance.
-------------------------------------
"…"
Sakura was trying to talk to Sasuke, but apparently, our favorite (/hated) human ice cube doesn't feel like talking.
"Sasuke! Do you really hate me that much?"
"hn…"
Sai sidled over, before Sakura could show off her super-human strength.
"So, Sakura…how's it going…" He winked flirtatiously.
"What the heck is wrong with you! Do you ENJOY ruining my life? Sasuke just KISSED another freakin' girl! And he doesn't even consider ME as a freakin' FRIEND!" Sakura was a little PO'ed right now, and ended up spitting some of her ramen out.
Unfortunately, it ended up in Sasuke's lap. To be exact, where his old squirrel bite was.
"AHHH! IT BURNS!"
Apparently, Sakura's ramen was still hot.
--------------------------
So, what do you think? I put A LOT of effort in it so I was really bad in karate…:(…the other guy in my class probably thought I was one of those whiny preppy spoiled girls, but the reason I kept "whining"/making weird noises during class was because I was frustrated that I couldn't do the "spinning backfist"…(sighs) life isn't fair…I bet that guy is laughing at me right now at home…anyways, if you want me to update and want me to feel better so I can write…er…type…REVIEW! (thank you, thank you)
