Revised Chapter 2

January 14, 2007

Walking out of Tsunade's office, Sakura was still shaken up and needed comfort. Knocking on Ino's door, her on again boyfriend answered the door. "So I take it you've patched things up" snickered Sakura.

"You know it," hollered Ino from across the room, "I couldn't stay mad at this lazy ass!" as Ino threw her arms across Shikamaru.

"Oh, to be in love at such a young age!" mocked Sakura, "Anyway, I came here to tell you that I got a lovely job promotion!"

Shikamaru quickly offered his congratulations, while Ino's eyes widen. She quickly spoke without realizing who was in the room. "That means the other thing is going to happen too!" Shikamaru gave a confused look and Ino hastily gave him the cliff notes version of the encounter with the crazy fortune teller.

"What are you planning to do, Sakura?" inquired Shikamaru.

"Nothing, I plan to go out with Naruto and celebrate my new promotion," and added, "Which by the way, I have been suspended from until this problem is worked out."

"We'll come with you, just in case something happens," added Ino.

A very irritated Sakura answer, "Whatever, but don't mention this to anyone, and I don't want to look like a fool when this is all over."

"This will be troublesome!" lazily said Shikamaru. "Then keep your ass at home," yelled Sakura. "I'm out, see you at the bar!"

Shikamaru shook his head, "Man, she has a shorter fuse than you; but I guess it can't be helped." "I can't leave her hanging, after all she is my best friend, and we need to find a way to help her Shika-kun." Softy whispered Ino.

Sakura stood in her bedroom, trying to decide what to wear. "This sucks, I'm going to die and haven't really experienced anything, I spent too many years chasing a boy who will never love me, and my only goal in life was to get stronger and prove to him I was worth a damn! Starting tonight, the name Sasuke Uchiha doesn't exist and Sakura Haruno is going to have the time of her life!"

With her little pep talk, Sakura took a sit at her desk and starting writing:

6 things to do before I die!

1. Hook up with a cute guy!

2. Find out what is under Kakashi's mask

3. Get Naruto and Hinata together

4. Get the village's #1 former rookie Neij drunk

5. Party!

6. GET LAID!

Sakura chucked as she wrote the last to do item. She decided if it was true, she didn't want to die a virgin. She had been saving herself for Sasuke, since she was pressed for time she wouldn't wait on him. Tearing off out paper, Sakura stashed it in a drawer. Looking back at her closet, she decided she was going to dress risky and hopefully tonight break a few hearts. Quickly changing into a black mini skirt and a red top that left little to the imagination; Sakura stared at herself in the mirror, perfect. To add to the ensemble, she found black boots that went to her thighs.

"Wow, everyone will be quite surprised!" she laughed inward, "Maybe a few bloody noses."

A knock at the door, signal Naruto arrival. Sakura grabbed her coat and met him at the door. "Ohayo! Naruto-kun!" smiled Sakura. With a quick glance, she noticed Sasuke was with him, "Hey Sasuke, let's head out."

Naruto was about to said something, but Sakura pushed both of them out into the hall. "Ino and Shikamaru are meeting us at the bar! I don't want to keep them waiting."

Ino waved at the trio, "I reserved us a table at the back, Hinata, Kiba, and Chouji are joining us." Ino grabbed Sakura hand, "Excuse us, we need to refresh our makeup, see you at the table."

"How are you?" asked Ino, "Are you okay?"

"Fine," with that answer Sakura took off her coat, and Ino nearly fell over in surprised. "I decided I'm going to meet a cute boy tonight and maybe get lucky!" laughed Sakura.

"This is something I thought I would never hear," squeaked Ino, "What about Sasuke?"

"What about him?" coldly answered Sakura, "Life's too short, and he is a pencil dick!"

"My goodness, talk about a complete 180! You know; you're dressing almost like me, but I don't look like a slut."

"Sticks and Stones, now let's watch the guys breakdown" smirked Sakura.

"Who are you and where is that sweet innocent girl, I used to know," joked Ino.

"She's on an extended vacation." smiled Sakura.

The boys were calmly drinking discussing their recent missions. Until Kiba brought up a sensitive topic; "What do you guys think about that fortune teller, my sister went to him and whatever he said made her very nervous." Sasuke answered, "I wouldn't waste my time on the predictions of a crazy old man." Naruto took a swig of his beer and replied, "I would ask him, when am I going to find my coupon book for free ramen, or if the teme will ever remove that stick from his ass!" Everyone laughed and continued to make fun of the prophet.

Not wanting to be apart of this discussion, Shikamaru chugged the rest of his beer, "I'm going to get more beer, I'll be right back." Walking to the bar, he virtually fell at the sight of a certain pink haired girl. "I know your going through a rough time, but isn't this a little extreme!"

"Of course not, Shikamaru! Now I know this is going to be fun!" laughed Sakura. While they were standing at the bar, a waitress came with three shots of liquor, "This is from the gentleman across the room, enjoy." Sakura smiled and took the drink. "Don't even think about going over there, you are to celebrate with your friends not a stranger." warned Ino. "Besides, we need to get back, poor Hinata has been left with the boys too long."

Nodding her approval, they walked back to the table. Whatever the group were talking about, one look at Sakura, all conversation ceased. "What the hell to you think you're wearing, Sakura!" yelled the fox boy. "I'm a grown girl!" calmly spoke Sakura. "I think you look great!" said Kiba. "This is a new side of you," spoke Chouji.

"Well I did plan to have a good time!" beamed Sakura, "The first round of shots are on me!" She flagged down a waitress, and was informed that a certain man had prepaid her tab for the night.

"Who's the guy?" asked Kiba.

"Don't know, we couldn't see his face earlier!" she continued, "Let's drink to my mysterious sugar daddy!" Kiba was the only one to raise his glass for her toast. After a few too many shots, Sakura's inhibitions were to the wind. "Come on Kiba, I want to dance!" Not even waiting for an answer, she grabbed his hand and dragged him out to the floor. The music was hypnotic and Sakura was lost in the moment. Her hands were in places that would normally make her blush, and Kiba didn't seem to mind, he was doing the same thing.

"Tomorrow things between them are going be a little awkward," Ino whispered to her date. "It's a good thing, I decided not to drink, or who else would fill her in on her shameful behavior."

"Naruto is already passed out, and Sasuke has been quiet all night, he hasn't been drinking either!" noted Shikamaru.

Kiba and Sakura staggered back to the table, everyone could tell Kiba was on the verge of passing out. "Shikamaru, Ino; I've called Shino and he is one his way to help me with Kiba-kun." spoke Hinata

"I'm not ready to leave, the night is young and I'm…" before he could finish his sentence, he had passed out.

"What a girl; he already out!" Sakura shook her head, "I'm going to the restroom, I'm about to go in my pants!"

"Didn't need the info," Ino said as she rolled her eyes, "I need to go, too."

"Quit talking and start walking!"

"After this, we need to take her home, before she does something stupid." Ino quickly whispered to Shikamaru.

"There is only one problem, Ino," said Chouji, "She is one top of the bar, and the guys are flashing bills at her!"

"Chouji and Sasuke take Naruto, we will get our little party girl." ordered Shikamaru.

Unfortunately, they were to slow: Sasuke had already had Sakura over his shoulder, and you could tell she was visually pissed. "Put me down, Jackass! You're always ruining my life!" She continued as she kept hitting her savior.

"Trust me, tomorrow you'll be thanking me," smirked Sasuke, "Don't worry, I'll take her home!"

"Nothing better happen to her," warned Ino, "I hope you're not the type to take advantage of a drunken incapacitated girl or you might wake up missing thing."

Chouji carried Naruto piggyback style, "How cute, Our party girl has passed out, hopefully she doesn't throw up. He's staying at my house, because the idiot hid his keys from us. See you tomorrow for training."

Sasuke was glad Sakura had passed out, for someone so small she packed a punch. He gently laid her on her bed and proceeded to take off her shoes. As he threw a blanket over her, Sakura stirred, "I'm going to be sick."

With ninja speed, Sasuke had her in the bathroom and watched her empty that night contents into the toilet. He laughed inwardly, "At least, I was nice enough to hold her hair back." While waiting until she was done he reached over and got her a bottle of water. "Drink this; it will make you feel better." She took the water and drank it in one gulp.

But as quickly as she drank the water, it came up just as fast. "What made me drink so much," she muttered. He just laughed; this is going to be a long night.

The next morning Sakura woke up and realized she was staring at the toilet. She staggered off the floor, and had a killer hangover. She clumsy threw on her robe, and looked through the bathroom cabinets. "Damn it no aspirin!" she yelled. "Looking for this," Sasuke spoke as he playful waved the pills in front of her. "Give them to me or else Uchiha," her voice was laced with venom. "Are we a little cranky, this is happens after a night of irresponsibility." He continued to make fun of her. "Not funny, my head is spinning, and I'm still wearing the clothes I had on last night." Sakura was fuming. "Who's fault is that, I'll tell you what, take a shower and I'll make us breakfast."

"Did you stay here all night?" as if it finally dawned on her that Sasuke was in her apartment. "Duh, the state you were in last night, you most likely would have choked on your on vomit, or worse woke up in it!" he teased her.

"Thank you, Sasuke-kun!" she said as she blushed. "I'm going to take a shower now."

Well, I'm tired of typing! My life has been a little crazy, and writing isn't in the top five. If I don't get at least 5 reviews, I'll discontinuing this story. I need to feel the love!
