-Chapter Seven-

-Just One Barbie-

I wake at about two in the morning. None of Sasuke's roommates are back yet, thanks god. I quickly scramble around, collecting my clothes and pulling them on. Damn...where the hell is my bra? Why are teenage boys' rooms so messy? I can't stay any longer – they might be back anytime.

I glance over at Sasuke. He looks so peaceful when he's asleep, like an innocent baby. I laugh quietly to myself at the memory of his frightened face. Even when he was petrified he still looked cute. Damn him.

I press a kiss to his forehead, an uncommonly nice thing for me to do, before leaving the room.

Ino and Sakura are drunk. Never thought that would happen, given Ino's rule that 'one should never loose control of one's actions'. They interrupt my pretend and Kia's actual sleep.

"Hic...then I was like whatever and she was like no and I was like I really-"They collapse. I look up at Kia, she shrugs and we both go to sleep.

"Uh...my head..."

"That's what you get for drinking so much on your first time getting drunk." I say.

"Don't you have anything to help?" Sakura asks desperately. Her head must really hurt if she's asking me.

"No, sorry!" I say cheerfully. She clutches her head and moans at my loud voice. Taking pity, I say, "Just get some rest today, I'll tell the teachers you're ill."

"You will?"

"'Course." I shrug. "I've been in your position many times myself and know what it feels like. Besides, you're quite nice."

"Thanks...Naruta..."

"No problem, but I'm not making an excuse for Ino. Her, I don't like and nothing you say can make me." She giggles slightly before groaning.

"Just sleep it off, ok?"

"Thanks...Naruta...Uzumaki..." Sakura says as her eyelids close. I loop her arm around my neck and lug her over to her bed before lying her down gently. I smile softly.
