AN: I'm back again!! Thank you for all your wonderful reviews!
Disclaimer: Basically, I wish I did, but I don't own Naruto –Sobs-
"Sakura, this is pointless..."
"What's the matter, afraid of your little fiancé?" she taunted.
His fiancé. Sakura, his fiancé. His Sakura...
Suddenly the onlookers saw a flurry of pink and then heard the ominous sound of a slashing kunai.
Sakura brought the kunai down, aiming to slash his arm but a strong hand caught her wrist. She had expected that. Twisting around, she aimed a kick at his legs which he was forced to let go of her in order to avoid. She threw a couple more kicks at him but to her annoyance he avoided them.
It infuriated her to see him not fighting back. All he would do was avoid her attempts to him. Was she still so weak that it wasn't worth the effort to him?
To vent out her newly formed fury at him she threw a well aimed kunai at him, which, had it not been caught by Sasuke, would have plunged directly into his stomach.
They went on like this for about ten minutes, Sakura throwing punches, kicks and the occasional kunai at Sasuke, and him dodging everything she threw at him while he blatantly refused to fight her.
"What is wrong with you?" she hissed at him, "Why aren't you fighting?!"
Dodging yet another kick, he said quietly "I don't want to hurt you."
Sakura let out a hollow laugh and said "It's too late for that."
Suddenly he disappeared, leaving Sakura alone in the middle of the training ground. Looking around her, she cursed inwardly. Where had he gone?
She looked around her, unsure of what had happened. Suddenly she felt a firm hand grip her around the waist and pull her backwards into something which felt like a brick wall. Before she could do anything other than give a yell of surprise, the wall locked an arm around her neck, so she couldn't escape.
Damn it!
"I win," whispered a voice next to her ear, almost making her shiver.
Sasuke! NO! I refuse to let him win!
A sudden idea forming in her head, a slight smirk began to tug at the corners of her mouth. It was time to see if the Uchihas really had hormones.
Turning her head slightly so her she could see him, she whispered in a seductive voice "Sasuke-kun"
With an inward smirk of satisfaction, she saw his eyes widen slight. She also noticed how his hold on her loosened slightly. Turning around slowly, she moved her face closer to his so that their lips were almost touching.
"You want to play?" she whispered in that same seductive tone.
She ran a hand down his muscular chest slowly, teasing him. She then brought the hand up and traced his jaw line.
"What the hell is she doing...?" said Naruto, looking completely bewildered.
The other onlookers all asked themselves that same question as they watched as Sakura continued to tease Sasuke, who looked nothing short of besotted.
"I have no idea, but whatever it is, he looks ready to have sex with her here and now," muttered Neji, seeing the look on Sasuke's face. "It looks like he does have hormones after all..."
Sasuke now felt completely fuzzy. His mind had gone blank and he found himself unable to move. God, he wanted to snog her senseless and then-
Someone's getting horny. I told you you wanted her!
Yeah... whatever...
Bloody hell, you're so caught up in her you can't even think of a good retort? I knew this girl would be good for us!
He desperately tried to resist the urge to kiss her, but it was really not helping that her lips were only about a centimetre away from his, almost inviting him. He didn't really care about much else anymore. All that mattered to him was that Sakura continued doing- well, whatever she was doing to him.
Sakura now returned her hand to his chest and ran it down slowly. She smirked when she heard the tiniest of groans escape his lips. She was bringing him to his knees and she loved every minute of it. It was almost too easy. He wanted her so bad now. And he was going to pay for it.
Bringing her lips a little closer to his she whispered "I win" before giving him a push on his shoulders and making him drop to his knees in front of her. Smirking at him, she began to walk away towards the exit.
The rest of the group simply looked between the two in complete surprise, first looking at the rather dazed Sasuke and then to the smirking Sakura. Had Sasuke Uchiha just been brought to his knees by a girl? No, surely their eyes were deceiving them, because Sasuke Uchiha had never been brought to his knees by anything which he hadn't killed later. And the look in his eyes made it plain that that of the list of things that he wanted to do to Sakura, killing her was definitely not on them.
"Bloody hell," was the only thing Neji could say as he gaped at Sasuke. "Did she just...?"
"I think she did," muttered Naruto. He looked down at Hinata to see that she was trying to stifle her giggles. Looking around he saw that Rika, Ino and Tenten were all laughing as well. Feeling utterly bewildered, he looked around at Neji, who looked just as confused as he was, and Shikamaru, who was wearing a look of grim understanding.
"That-was-brilliant!" said Ino, from between her laughs.
"What-" began Naruto weakly.
"We'd better go," said Hinata "See you later guys, Naruto..."
The girls all sprinted off after Sakura, still evidently trying to hide their laughter. Neji and Naruto stared after their retreating forms, with the feeling that they were missing something. Shikamaru just sighed and said "We had better get him, I don't think he's going to move otherwise..."
Both of the boys looked in the direction that Shikamaru was pointing in and, sure enough, there was Sasuke, still in exactly the same position that Sakura had left him in. Walking over to him Naruto hauled him up onto his feet. His eyes were still unfocused and his mouth was slightly open.
"Sasuke?" said Neji, waving a hand in front of his face "Earth to Sasuke?"
After he got no reaction, he looked questioningly at Shikamaru "What the hell did she do to him?" he asked, pointing at the dazed Sasuke.
"There's more than one way to win a fight," muttered Shikamaru, poking Sasuke experimentally on the forehead to see if he would wake up.
"Oh," said Neji, a look of comprehension passing over his face.
Naruto, still supporting Sasuke, furrowed his brows at the pair and said confusedly "I don't get it..."
Neji and Shikamaru just rolled their eyes in unison at him and went back to trying to get Sasuke out of his dream like state.
"I can't believe she has this much of an effect on him," said Neji, a sudden grin passing over his features. "I didn't think any women would ever be able to make him like this. To be honest, I thought he was either gay or he was born without any hormones..."
"Obviously not," replied Shikamaru, looking exasperated. "How the hell are we going to get him out of this state?"
"Wait, I have an idea!" exclaimed Naruto. The other two just looked at him, unsure of whether to let him go through with his 'idea'. If they did, Sasuke would probably beat him up, but then again Sasuke would probably beat him up anyway... so it didn't really matter anyway...
"What are you going to do...?" asked Neji uncertainly.
"Just watch," said Naruto with a grin. Turning the dazed Sasuke around to face him, he hit him roughly on the arm and shouted "Oi! Teme! Look, there's Sakura-chan!"
It was like someone had switched a light on in Sasuke's brain. His head snapped up and he looked around and said "Where?!"
Naruto, apparently having a death wish, burst out into loud, raucous laughter as the look of surprise on Sasuke's face, which slowly turned into one of absolute fury. Wheeling around slowly to face Neji and Shikamaru, he saw them with identical smirks on both of their faces.
"What?" he seethed.
"I didn't think you had it in you, Sasuke," said Neji, now looking close to laughter.
"It was not funny!" said Sasuke, looking close to boiling point.
"Oh, but it was," said Neji, basking in the fact that Sasuke's pride had just been wounded. Badly.
"I think we have an answer to your earlier question, Naruto," added Shikamaru.
"Huh, what question?"
Shikamaru rolled his eyes. Naruto really did suite the nickname 'dobe' sometimes. No, most of the time.
"You know, the 'does Sasuke like Sakura' question," he said.
"Oh right..." he said, a look of dawning comprehension on his face, followed by a sudden grin before he added "That one."
"Look," snarled Sasuke "I-DO-NOT-LIKE-HER!"
"Let it go, Sasuke, let it go," said Shikamaru.
"No, I won't because I don't-"
"Sasuke, you're marrying her for God's sake! It's a good thing to like the person you're getting married to!" said Neji, with the tone of voice he usually put on when he was explaining something very simple to Naruto.
Sasuke ran his hand though his hair and swore loudly, before saying "I lost."
"You know if he was like that while she was teasing him, imagine what he'll be like when he's 'reviving his clan' with her," muttered Shikamaru, just loud enough so that Sasuke could hear him.
"He might faint," teased Neji.
Sasuke just glared at them both, refusing to dignify their teasing of him with a comeback.
"Aw, Sasuke's in love!" said Naruto, in a fake high pitched voice.
"NO.I.AM.NOT." said Sasuke from between clenched teeth "and anyway, what would you have done?"
"Snogged her then and there," said Neji casually, and when Sasuke raised his eyebrows at him, he added "What? I don't like your precious fiancé or anything, don't worry. It's just that I'm a normal hormonal guy and she happens to be incredibly sexy and if I was the one who she was practically offering herself to, I would not have held back. Besides, it was obvious you wanted her. The look on your face... priceless..."
"She just did it to win the fight!" cursed Sasuke "And I let her do it!"
Neji just gave an exasperated sigh and rubbed his forehead. "Sasuke, you're a guy, of course you let her do it..."
Feeling frustrated, Sasuke ran a hand through his hair. What the hell was wrong with him?
For God's sake! YOU MORON! It's so bloody obvious! Face it like a man!
Ok, so maybe I do like her... a little bit...
Four words-I.TOLD.YOU.SO.
"Let's go back to the house," muttered Sasuke, turning around and beginning to walk towards the exit. The other three stood there for a second, staring at his retreating form with exasperation, before following him.
"-And then when you pushed him to his knees-"
"-The look on his face-"
The five girls were currently sitting in a small restaurant, having lunch, and talking, or rather laughing, over Sakura and Sasuke's 'fight'.
"You know, I didn't know what you were doing at first, I thought you had gone mad or something," said Tenten, from between her giggles.
Sakura just smirked. And this was only the first day of their engagement...
"Oh, guys, I just remembered something," Sakura said "I'm going to need bridesmaids, so if you want..." she trailed off, waiting for their reaction which would come in 1, 2, 3...
"US?!" came the squeal, from Ino, Tenten and Hinata "Really!?"
When Sakura nodded they all gave another squeal and began to jump up and down in their seats in excitement. Sakura looked apprehensively over at Rika and sure enough, the look on her face was nothing sure of mortified.
"You mean... you want me to wear... a dress?" she said.
"Rika, please, it won't be pink, I promise!" pleaded Sakura. Rika was a tomboy through and through, and the only things she despised more in the world than Uchihas was pink and dresses. Sakura painstakingly remembered the last time Rika had worn a dress. It was when she had been eight and even then it took several hours of pleading, bribing and begging on their mother's behalf to get her
to wear it. Not to mention after that she had gone through each and every one of the photos and personally burned them all afterwards.
"Rika, you're my sister! You have to be my bridesmaid," continued Sakura "Come on, I won't put bows or frills or anything like that on the dresses!"
"Yeah Rika, please!" begged the other girls.
"Do I have to?" she muttered, glaring at the table.
"Yes," the all said in unison.
"Oh alright... but remember- no pink!" she said grumpily. "I think they should be black."
"Black?" asked Sakura incredulously.
"You're marrying Uchiha Sasuke, I don't think it'll be a happy occasion, probably more like a funeral..."
"Point taken," muttered Sakura "But NOT black, Rika. The day will be gloomy enough."
"Alright," she agreed grudgingly.
"So what colour should the dresses be then?" asked Hinata.
"Well, we can't have any colour that will clash with Rika's hair, so pink is out of the question and we can't really have black on a wedding day, but apart from that, I have absolutely no idea."
"Do you know when you are going to be married?" questioned Ino.
"I'm not sure," said Sakura dryly "I want to make this engagement as long as possible, but something tells me that the elders are not going to agree."
"On the bright side," said Ino "He's got loads of money!"
"INO!" they all yelled incredulously.
"Relax, I'm just kidding. I wouldn't marry Sasuke for all the money in the world, especially when I have my Shika," she said, laughing at the looks on their faces "Don't worry, I'm not that superficial."
"Money doesn't buy happiness," mused Sakura "well, its definitely not going to buy me mine anyway..."
"I'm sure it won't be that bad," said Hinata soothingly, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I just wanted to marry for love," she murmured "I mean I always dreamed of my wedding as a happy occasion, and mum and dad would be there and..." she trailed off, tears welling up in her eyes. Her mother had died of cancer a few of years ago and their father had followed her a couple of months later. Wiping them away furiously, she bit her lip. She hadn't cried for about two years now, and she wasn't about to break that record.
"We'll be there for you," said Ino "Don't worry."
"Yeah, we'll beat up Sasuke if he's an asshole," agreed Rika.
The other girls murmured their agreement while Sakura just gave them all a watery smile.
"Sakura," asked Tenten tentatively "who are you going to ask to give you away?"
"I think I'll ask Kakashi," she said, her voice wavering slightly "I couldn't really see anyone else doing it..."
"I see what you mean," said Ino, nodding fervently.
"Speaking of Kakashi," began Tenten slyly "What were you doing with him at that restaurant yesterday, Rika?"
Rika turned slightly pink and averted her eyes from the table.
"Rika?! Rika, are you going out with Kakashi?" asked Sakura, her eyes alight with excitement.
"Maybe..."
"Oh my God! How long have you been going out for!?" squealed Ino, positively jumping up and down in her seat.
"A while..."
"And you didn't tell me?!" asked Sakura incredulously.
"Well, we sort of kept it a secret... but obviously it's not now..."
"Why?!"
"We didn't really people making a big fuss out of it..."
"I can't believe you are going out with Kakashi!"
"Have you had sex with him?"
"INO!!"
"What?"
"That's personal!"
"Well, I've had sex with Shik-"
"Too much information, thanks"
Deciding to save Ino from being murdered by Rika, Sakura interrupted their conversation
"Oh, you know Tsunade wants Sasuke and me to produce an heir."
The girls all froze, except Rika, who already knew this horrifying piece of information.
"I think that's the whole reason behind our marriage," continued Sakura "They don't want the Uchiha clan to die out. It's too powerful."
"But that means- that means-" spluttered Ino.
"Yeah, I know," sighed Sakura.
"That'll be awkward," muttered Tenten.
"Yeah I know. I'm cringing just thinking about it," said Sakura, shuddering slightly. "I mean he does have a nice body though..."
"How do you know that?!" spluttered Rika, nearly choking on her drink.
"Well, I got up really early this morning and you know he stayed over...?" said Sakura, he cheeks reddening "Well I sort of walked into him and I nearly fell over and then he caught me and he was umm... shirtless... at first I thought I'd walked into the wall by accident..."
"You know," said Ino "I think you two both like each other, you're just both too proud to admit it."
"No I don't!" said Sakura, a little too quickly "I wouldn't like an arrogant jerk like that-"
"Who happens to be completely hot," cut in Ino "And you did, Sakura. Remember, you really did love him when we were younger?"
"I was thirteen," scoffed Sakura, "I was an idiot."
"If you say so," said Ino "You always were stubborn..."
"I don't like him," grumbled Sakura, more to herself than anyone else "I don't..."
AN: Ha-ha Sasuke humiliation!! It was so much fun to write! Don't get me wrong I still love him, but I just think someone needs to put the git in his place and give him a taste of his own medicine! And now Sakura's getting confused! Oh I love writing this...!!
Please read the next bit (You know you want to)
OK, what dress colour do you want the bridesmaids to wear? Just review and vote- but remember not black and pink, and also try not to pick colours that will clash wish Rika's hair because it's red. I'll count up the votes and let you know which colour wins!
Oh and you might be a little bit confused about the whole Itachi/Rika/Kakashi situation. I will clear everything up for you:
Rika USED to like Itachi, but she felt really betrayed when he left (I mean wouldn't you, if you're boyfriend did that to you?) but she has moved on.
Anyway, thanks for reading and please review!
