Ch. 4
"Well?" Sasuke asked. His arms were crossed and a look of impatience crossed his face. Sakura looked back at the door that had just been locked and back at Sasuke. Her mouth opened as to say something, but closed just as soon as it had opened. She sighed heavily and pointed to a chair in front of on of the many vanities. She walked over to her pack and pulled out a few necessities. Sasuke sat in the chair. She heaved another sigh. "Okay, I think it'll be easiest if you unleash the chakra from the seal."
He nodded. That's all he ever needed to do. Just sternly look at people, and nod.
She raised a barrier around him and walked so she was facing his back. Now or never she thought.
Sasuke's wings began to spread, his skin darkened. He was consumed in power. Luckily Sakura put up the force field, or who knows what the fiendish chakra could do. He bashed the barrier three times. That was the signal. Sakura made the complex hand seals, and put a large amount of chakra into the seal. "Seal!" she yelped putting her hands on the mark. Sasuke was knocked with so much force; he flew through the shield, and landed on the bed.
With a thin film of sweat covering her face and her legs quivered. She was weak at the knees from the amount of Chakra she released. Sasuke's wings began to disappear, and his skin paled as he lay on her bed, breathing heavily. Sweat glistened on his shirtless chest. Inner Sakura was ransacking through Sakura's mind, Cha that'll teach that ugly "thing" when to mess with Team 7!
The curse's chakra was an inky black. It was slowly disappeared into nothing as it flew from the room, and mixed in with the outside air, where it slowly swirled around and around, until it was no more.
The mark was there on his neck! Of course, she'd sealed the chakra, and its connection with Orochimaru, but not the physical form. She asked Sasuke to sit up, he did, but she just couldn't get the right angle to examine it.
Naruto and Kakashi were jamming with the iPod on full blast. However, due to the fact that they were sharing earphones was making the jamming a little less enjoyable. Kakashi pointed to the dresser. A beam of light from the heavens seemed to be shinning down on the sleek black iPod dock. Angelic tunes were being played from the heavens. Naruto was overcome with joy. His mouth curled upward into a creepy white toothy smile. He plugged it in and reached for the power button. "Wait, Naruto don't forget to turn the vol-" Too late, Naruto had turned it on, full blast. No mercy. Anyone in a five mile radius could hear the blast.
The walls began to vibrate. Sakura stood in front of Sasuke who was on the edge of the bed. She felt herself loosing her balance as the floor began to vibrate. It was too late. There was no regaining it and she fell on the bed. Hmmm, she thought, I would have thought the bed to be softer; maybe it's an extra firm mattress or something. It is warm though, maybe…oh! Ugh, you have got to be kidding me. She looked up to find that she was not under the annoyingly pink comforter, but an expanse of pale, manly, toned flesh that belonged to only one person.
Sakura was in Sasuke's arms. Uh-huh, thought Inner Sakura, and this is a bad thing how? Sakura couldn't disagree with her other self, who kept squealing he is so HOT! She tried to shake the thought away, but couldn't. Why was her teenage years coming back to her now?
Sakura had a good view of the mark from her awkward angle. She executed the proper hand signs before touching the mark with her hand and yelling, "Seal!" The mark dissolved into his skin.
He twitched a little, but it was expected. Removing a cursed seal sure isn't a comfortable procedure.
Sakura scrambled off of his well-toned body. He sat up. They were both there, just there, silent and content. That is until a thought occurred to Sakura. It's almost as if I've seen this room before. Sakura's thoughts trailed off. Suddenly, she remembered an ad she saw in a magazine. Inner Sakura began seething that Naruto must die! Because she remembered what this room was. It's the…
Sasuke was thinking the same thing. He had read many magazines at Orochimaru's. There was really nothing better to do when the crazy old man was "experimenting"(with none other than Kabuto). I know what this is it's the…
Suna Inn Honeymoon Suite! They thought in unison.
Sakura and Sasuke sprinted for the door. Sakura was jostling the doorknob, while Sasuke stopped. He realized that this had to be some kind of prank on Naruto's part. "NARUTO GET US THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Sakura's screamed, but to no avail.
Sakura had her chakra infested hand at ready. Sasuke, just in time, grabbed her wrist and said matter-of-a-factly, "Sakura, no, you break, you buy." It was hopeless.
Sakura and Sasuke both walked back to the bed. Sakura was visibly seething mumbling death threats about Naruto and very painful ways to die. Sasuke on the other hand silently sulked.
After a while Sakura's mumbling grew louder and more annoying by the second. "Tch. Annoying." He snorted in the cool snooty emo-ish way. With the I'm-the-coolest-and-sexiest-man-alive-and-you-know-it-and-can't-stop-me look included.
"Well, excuse me!" Sakura turned to him. If it's a brawl he wants, it's what he gonna get! Boys, sometimes she could almost...Guh!
"Hn." Sasuke acknowledged her with nothing but a grunt. He'd always had hoped to spar with her someday.
"YOU INFURIATING SON OF A URGH!!!!!!" That was it Sakura was already about to kill Naruto, but he could wait. It was Sasuke's turn now. She lunged at him from across the bed and tackled him on the floor. Before she can inflict any real damage, he rolled on top of her and straddled her.
His smirk was evident and ticking Sakura off like no other. She looked away and then got an idea."Mou, Sasuke-kun, you're hurting me!" She said in the most innocent voice she could muster. Some sweet, innocent, glamoring, helpless puppy-dog-eyes included.
"Che, weak." Or maliciously conniving Inner Sakura giggled manically. He got off and she slowly sat up, still keeping her innocent act. Then, she tackled Sasuke again. This time, she wasted no time on making her move and then she did the unthinkable…she tickled him.
He began to laugh a full, deep, genuine laugh. She couldn't help herself but to laugh along with him. "Sakura, I can't breathe." He gasped out after about five minuets of torture. She rolled off of him. They both were flat on the ground panting. Sakura rolled over and looked at him before she went into another fit of giggles. He rolled his eyes. After a few more moments of silence someone had to rupture it, he looked sternly at Sakura, "Never replace me again." He bluntly stated, somewhat annoyed.
"That wasn't my fault!" She said defensively. "I would much rather be called annoying or weak by you than Hag by Sai. Besides, you were off gallivanting in sound." She said sadly, somewhat annoyed.
Sasuke lost himself for a moment. He didn't realize that he was actually doing this and it wasn't in his head. He moved so that his face was right above Sakura's and then started talking. "Sakura," There was a glow in his eyes. "That night in Konoha-that I left." His hand touched her cheek. "I'm sorry."
Sasuke started to lean forward. He was so close. Sakura could feel his breath fan out across her face. He was a centimeter literally from his lips meeting hers when…
His eyes grew wide. He got up so abruptly, he nearly knocked Sakura through the floor. "Naruto left the back door unlocked!" When Sakura finally came to, he was halfway out her vast bathroom.
Naruto went into the fridge. Why shouldn't they party? After all, they had hardly celebrated in the past. He pulled out an aluminum can. He popped it open. It was going to be a long night. Why shouldn't he have fun while "distracting" Kakashi? He popped 29 more!
The couple found Kakashi's room easily. They were both wary about what they were about to find. Knowing Naruto and Kakashi, it was going to be bad. Sasuke kicked the door down and they both peered inside to find a horrendous sight.
In the room lay Naruto and Kakashi, jamming to the iPod at full blast, and empty soda cans, Red Bull cans, and sake bottles littering the floor. Naruto and Kakashi were singing the song, "Don't 'cha?" on Kakashi's iPod. Naruto was only slightly off key, while Kakashi; let's say he'd been better off yelling.
Sakura pounded Naruto out of his red bull and soda induced drunken like stupor. "THAT'S FOR LAST NIGHT, BAKA!"
As for Kakashi, she tsked before making the proper hand seals before yelling, "Dispel!" who knew Genjustsus worked the same way as a hangover? She didn't.
Kakashi shook abruptly, "Yes, well-err Naruto, where did you put my iPod?" Naruto was sprawled on the ground and had Sasuke kicking him nonchalantly, got up and glared at the Uchiha. "Lemme see..." He searched on the bed. "Maybe I put it in the covers." He lifted the bed spread.
Fear came to Kakashi's eyes. "Wait, Naruto-" too late. Kakashi watched in horror as his iPod fell to the ground in, what seemed to him, slow motion. A breaking sound penetrated his ears. Something broke. The floor didn't. The iPod made contact with the rock solid floor.
