Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters.
Well, since no one has won the bet, it's time to get the pairings on the road~!
Sakura sighed and leaned against the hospital chair. She had been working since two am and it was currently ten at night. To say she was exhausted was an understatement; she felt dead on her feet.
"Sakura," she looked up to see Tsunade, "go home."
Sakura was about to argue, but instead of a rebuttal, a yawn came out of her mouth and she quickly said good-night before heading to her apartment.
"Sakura," Sasuke and Naruto were standing across the street from her.
"Oh..hey guys!" She waved and smiled at the two boys.
"Hey, Sakura!" Naruto called back, waving wildly.
"Hn," She rolled her eyes at Sasuke but joined them across the way. "What are you doing out here so late, Sakura?" Naruto asked curiously.
"I was working at the hospital and Tsunade saw I was still there so she sent me home." Sakura answered.
"Wait..didn't you go in at like two in the morning or something like that!?" Naruto asked, bewildered.
"Uh...how did you know that?" She asked, slightly scared and creeped out he knew when she went to work.
"Hina-chan was there because one of her family members was sick or something like that, and she told me that she saw you walk in around two." Naruto shrugged casually.
"Ah, well, yes. I did go to work at 2 a.m. A group of Ninja came passing through from the Sand and one of them was in bad shape, so I was called in." Sakura rambled.
Sasuke watched her with a slight scowl. She had been getting less and less sleep, and that usually resulted in spending less time with him, which he really did not like.
"Well, I have to go! Teme, make sure Sakura gets home safely!" Naruto waved as he ran off towards his apartment.
Sakura nodded her head while yawning and waving Naruto off. She turned to Sasuke and looped her arm through his, resting her head on his shoulder.
He merely raised an eyebrow at her, but they continued walking to Sakura's apartment. He had gotten used to her random physical contact.
Five minutes from her apartment, and she had literally fallen asleep. Sasuke grabbed her before she could drop to the dirty road, and threw her over his shoulder. He kept his hand above her ass, although temptation tried to get it lower but he stopped, and reminded himself that he is a Uchiha and they don't do such ungentlemanly things to someone whom they respect greatly.
Sasuke laid her down gently on the white bed, covered her in a sheet and left.
(Next morning)
Sakura sighed and rolled over. She quickly recalled falling asleep on Sasuke as they walked home and chuckled at how clumsy she had been. At least he took her home.
She dressed quietly, grabbed some toast, and was out the door around one p.m. She had the day off, and had told Ino-pig she would go by the shop to see how things were going, and to mostly gossip about her and Choji.
"Ino-pig!" Sakura called out, but quickly stopped in her tracks at what she saw; Choji and Ino kissing. Sakura got a pretty pink on her face in embarrassment, turned around, and walked out of the shop. They had watched her leave, and she was pretty sure that they would continue where they left off.
She tried to shake the images out of her, but they stayed intact and she decided to go find Naruto and Hinata; to get her mind and imagery off of what she saw.
"Naruto!" Sakura called out. He turned around to her, and he looked slightly pissed and the pretty blushing girl in front of him looked slightly disappointed.
(Ten minutes earlier with Naruto and Hinata)
Naruto had quickly found the center of his attention as of late, and asked her to come to the training grounds with him. Naruto had been discussing with Sasuke what the feelings he was feeling were. Sasuke had quickly answered that what he was feeling was either a strong like, not in the friend sense, or love. It took some convincing on Sasuke's part, but Naruto finally figured it out, and had decided to take action. When they had arrived at the training grounds, he had sat criss cross from her and she folded her legs underneath her, listening as Naruto rambled for about five minutes about how Sasuke was a bastard.
She giggled when he got irritated at something the dark boy had done and smiled fondly at him.
"Ne, Hina-chan! I have something I wanna tell you, okay? But don't get mad!" Naruto told her, his face completely serious, and Hinata quickly nodded.
She sat up straighter and looked him dead in the eyes, waiting for what he was going to say.
"Well, I think that I maybe kinda sorta really li-" He was then cut off by Sakura, and you are now up to date on what had happened, and why the two weren't exactly pleased.
(Ten Minutes later)
The three had awkwardly sat there as Naruto pouted and Hinata looked around, slightly sad at the fact that she didn't get to hear the rest of Naruto's sentence.
Sakura sighed after a couple more minutes, stood up, brushed herself off, and walked away. Naruto just watched her walk away, and felt slightly bad. She hadn't meant to interrupt his confession, and he knew that, but the mood from earlier was completely gone and he was going to have to wait for another chance.
"Ne, Hina-chan! I'll tell you another time! Until then, let's go get some ramen!" Naruto shouted out excitedly.
Hinata laughed and they held hands as they walked to Ichiraku's. She could wait a little longer.
(Tsunade, Jiraiya and Iruka)
"Gosh dammit, Sakura! You are cockblocking, and that isn't a good thing!" Jiraiya stated as he watched with two others from behind a large tree.
"He was going to confess and then we were going to win the gosh damn bet, but now-" Tsunade gestured towards the three of them, "Now we're going to be broke ass bitches!" She exclaimed.
Iruka sighed and rubbed his forehead. Poor Naruto,
"Alright, let's get back to the drawing board, yet again."
Tenten watched as Sakura punched a tree she passed by, and winced. Damn, that girl packed a punch. Tenten quickly looked the other way to avoid any awkward eye contact and walked over to where Temari was. Temari was only going to be there for two more weeks, and her plans mostly involved Shikamaru so the girls stole Temari whenever they found the chance to.
"Hey, Tenten." Temari greeted, smirking.
"Yo, Biatch." Tenten greeted back. She laughed as she avoided Temari's fan swinging in her direction.
"Bitch," Temari muttered but a fond smile was on her face. "Where we going to today?"
"Well, I was thinking we could pull some practical pranks on our boys." Tenten smirked deviously, and Temari instantly found the idea amusing.
"Lets!" Temari answered with much enthusiasm.
(Twenty minutes later)
"Alright, so here's how it's going to go," Tenten whispered, "I'm going to distract them, and you go into the bathroom and put the plastic wrap around the inside. Then, when you're done with that, bring out the tea, and we will make sure they drink tons of it! Then, when they go to the bathroom, they'll pee on the plastic wrap and it'll come back up and hit them!" Tenten exclaimed excitedly.
Although Temari found the idea brilliant, it wouldn't exactly work for one reason; "Don't guys lift the toilet seat when they pee and won't they notice the plastic wrap if they have to lift the seat?"
Tenten faltered and frowned; "Damn, didn't think about that...Okay, well, superglue the toilet seat down so then they HAVE to pee with it down!" Tenten was proud of what she had thought up, and Temari didn't have the heart to deflate her again.
"Alright," Temari said as she watched Tenten walk up to the two boys playing Shogi.
Apparently they had been having issues with the game, both of them being extremely smart. Neji had actually won more than once, but that wasn't the problem; What the problem was was that Shikamaru hardly ever lost and now in three days time, Neji was close to beating him.
"Hey, guys." Tenten greeted.
"Hn,"
"Troublesome."
Tenten glared at them both, pissed that they didn't pay her any mind. "Whatc'ha doin'?" She sat down on the other side of the table, between the two of them.
Neither responded, and she got even more pissed. Damn bastards... She whistled a low tune, signaling that Temari could go and put the plastic wrap down. Temari made her presence known as she waved to the two boys. They gave her the same response as Tenten, and Tenten could see Temari get a tick mark on her cheek. Leave it to the boys to piss Temari off.
Five minutes later, and Temari walked back out with some tea and a smirk plastered on her face.
Tenten was scrawled out on the deck, fast asleep, a light snoring coming from her mouth. The game they were playing was damn boring, and she didn't know how it could occupy them for three days straight. She barely lasted ten minutes.
"Here, I made some tea."
"Who said you could go use my stuff, troublesome woman?" Shikamaru finally looked up to address Temari, and she glared at him.
"I did." She answered back as she took a sip of tea.
She had sat down next to the sleeping Tenten and sat the closest to Shikamaru while Tenten's ass was next to the Hyuuga's. Said boy seemed to have noticed, and was faltering slightly in his moves. Temari smirked and ignored as Shikamaru kept saying something about troublesome woman.
After thirty minutes, Temari had joined Tenten on the floor and was passed out, her ass facing Shikamaru as she snored louder than Tenten. Neji twitched in annoyance, and got up.
"Bathroom," Was all he said as he walked away. Shikamaru merely nodded and stared at the board with intense interest.
Once Neji had made it to the bathroom, a tick mark immediately found itself on his forehead. So that's what Temari was doing when she had wandered in earlier. That would also explain as to why Tenten smirked at him for five minutes straight before passing out. They had covered the toilet opening with plastic wrap and super glued the seat down as to stop him/Shikamaru from removing the plastic wrap.
Neji sighed and rubbed his forehead. Damn women...
Devi: There will be a part two to the whole bathroom scene above here ;) Review~!
