After the little 'disturbance' in the spa, the group walked out and stood in the hallway discussing what they wanted to do.
"I think we should go shopping!"
"No way. How about we just..cloud watch or something."
"Um, no. How about we go in the work out room?"
"No thanks...how about we go get some Ramen?"
As the group bickered, Sakura, Sasuke, and Hinata stayed out of it. Sakura hadn't felt like getting caught up in the argument, she didn't really care where they went at this point. Sasuke...well. That's just it. Sasuke is Sasuke and he doesn't do anything but get that look on his face that says I'm-so-cool-I'm-not-even-gonna-say-anythin-cuz-I-have-that-attitude. Hinata...well...shyness, right? Eventually though, Sakura became annoyed with the constant put-ins so she said bluntly "How about we go to a dance club?"
Everyone turned and looked at her. Then looked at each other. Finally, smiles came upon their faces. 'Yeah, why not?" Ino exclaimed. Tenten nodded. "I guess it would be kind of fun." Hinata just nodded and answered quickly "Yes, it does sound fun." The boys looked at each other as if asking 'Well?' Eyes turned on Shikamaru.
"Don't look at me. I could care less, but I'm not that great of a dancer." Ino immediately ran over to his side. 'I could teach you." She pleaded with her eyes for him to say yes. He just sighed and muttered a barely audible "...Troublesome..." Eyes turned to Neji. "Don't even think that I'm saying anything." he answered quickly. Tenten walked over and looped her arm with his. He looked away but everyone could see the hint of a blush creeping up his neck.
Everyone turned to Naruto. "Hey, it sounds fun, why not?" he answered sheepishly. Then he walked to Hinata. "If we go, you definitely have to save a dance for me." The shade of red reaching Hinata's face could beat even the hue of a tomato. Finally, everyone turned to look at Sasuke. "Hn." was his answer.
-Insert sweat drop anime style here-
"Alright then, it's settled. We're going to a dance club." Ino exclaimed. The group headed off once again in some...well...unknown direction until they finally found someone to give them directions to a club.

It was about two hours later and hell had broke loose. Ino was dancing on a table, Tenten was presumably drunk and flirting with Neji using pick up lines from the sixties, Hinata was listening to Naruto in an 'amazingly fantastic' story of how he had discovered Ramen when he was two, and Sakura...she was just sitting at the bar drinking a soda.
She wasn't exactly sure how but somehow Ino had managed to find just about the only bar that was above their age limit, thus the group getting in, Ino felt it was alright if they snuck a few drinks in. What nobody had planned for was Ino and Tenten starting a drinking contest and beating just about every person in said club. Hell. Had. Broken. Loose.
As she thought, Ino had just jumped off the table and was now performing a lap dance on Shikamaru who at the moment was trying to push Ino off while also attempting (and yet failing) to stop the blood gushing from his nose.
Sakura sighed. 'Never. Again. The next time Ino wants to go to a bar, NEVER. AGAIN.' She sat there for a few moments shifting through her thoughts till a shadow appeared above her shoulder. She turned and saw Sasuke staring at her. "Mind if I sit here?" he asked. She shook her head and moved over a bit as a signal to sit. He sat down and waved down the bar tender. He ordered some drink (non-alcoholic mind you, Sasuke's a good boy!) And rested his hands on the counter. They sat in silence, both listening to the deafening music behind them.
Finally, the bar tender came back with his drink in hand and handed it to Sasuke. He muttered a quick "Thanks." and took his drink. The only sounds now heard were the quiet clinks and sips of their drinks being taken from each glass due to the blaring music behind. Being the way she is, Sakura couldn't really stand the silence.
"So...having fun?" she asked dryly. He replied with a "Hn." and looked back at his drink. She sighed. 'So much for a conversation.'She thought to herself. They sat for a few more moments in silence before she decided to speak again. "Is there anything in particular that interests you?" The words came out before she fully registered what she said. 'Why would he tell me? What am I, stupid? He has no reason to tell me, we barely know eachother.'
She was about to dismiss the question until his head rose. "Not really. I listen to music and read up on different things sometimes." She was actually shocked in a sense, but then again she didn't want to look stupid so she acted casual...or as much as she could muster in this sort of place.
"That's cool. I actually, am interested in nursing and different medical things. I hope to help people for a career." She answered with a light smile on her face. He looked at her for a moment and she saw something in his eyes, he actually looked less tense for a moment and well...it was nice.
Somehow, just by asking one question, she had been able to start a small conversation with him for the next hour. Hey, at least it passed time right?
Eventually the two finished their drinks and the bar tender had come back for his pay. Sakura lifted her small handbag from her wrist and shifted around till she found her exact change.
When she lifted her head to hand the man his money, he was already walking away with the two glasses in hand. "Wait!" she called out. He turned and asked a "Yes?" "I didn't pay you." She said. "Oh, that young man took care of it." he said and walked away. She looked to her right where Sasuke had once been sitting and saw that he was gone.

a/n Alright, I am SO sorry. This chapter was mega short! I promise that the next one will be...um...longer and maybe have a little more stuff in it. I don't know yet though cuz I never really know how long it'll end up being but I do for a fact know what IS going to happen. Lol. I already have like...the next few chaps partially planned out and one actually involves more quality time with Sasuke and Sakura. Actually...a few do, BUT also there WILL be more sweet...er...stuff between my other pairings too. So until then, tatafornow!
