Chapter 2: Party on my friends
A/N: Hello again!
Sorry this took quite a bit to publish. I was actually already half way the next day, but then my school suddenly became very busy so I had no time to finish it. But I hope you all still like it! Thanks for all the follows I got, made me quite happy to see that people liked it :3
Read on now..!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. (TOO BAD)
When they finally reached the party it was in full swing. There were people everywhere. The music was loud so she could barely hear Ino talk to her in the hall.
"DO YOU WANT SOMETHING TO DRINK?" Ino yelled at her.
"NO THANKS, NOT YET! MAYBE LATER. I DON'T WANT TO GET DRUNK JUST YET, IT'S BAD FOR YOUR LIVER YOU KNOW. DO YOU WANT TO DIE THAT SOON?"
Ino had walked off before she had heard the whole thing, but Sakura should've known Ino wouldn't listen anyway. Ino didn't care about all that, worries would be for later. She went further inside and took a look around. There was a guy that was surrounded by women. 'Better avoid that one,' she thought. Ino had said her friends were here, so she should be able to find someone. She wormed her way through the crowd trying to spot someone. When she thought she had spotted Tenten she walked towards the girl. But when the girl turned around it was someone else. Sakura quickly turned around and started scanning the crowd again. Suddenly she felt a hand on her back. It was a short girl with long dark hair and stunning white-grey eyes. She saw the lips of the girl move, but she didn't hear anything.
"HINATA, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU GUYS. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE OTHERS ARE?"
She saw Hinata sigh and shake her head. She probably noticed that talking was futile, Sakura wouldn't hear her anyway. But at least she had finally found someone, she wouldn't look so lost anymore now.
"INO IS GETTING SOMETHING TO DRINK, DO YOU WANT SOMETHING?" She was getting tired of having to yell all the time, and she already felt her throat starting to hurt.
Again she saw Hinata shake her head again. Well it wasn't like she had expected the shy girl to drink anything, it was a wonder she was even here, now that she thought about it. She grabbed Hinata's hand anyway and started going through the crowd again. Maybe some place quieter would be good. She would at least be able to talk to the girl. Once she got farther to the back the crowd seemed to lessen. Maybe Hinata would be able to hear her normally now.
"So you haven't seen anyone? Not even Naruto? He should be easy to find. I mean, you know how he is at parties! He stands out in a crowd wherever he is. And I think I heard Ino say in the car that your cousin would be here as well."
"Well I-I think Na-Naruto should be dancing somewhere in the mi-middle of the room. We should be able to find him easily." Sakura was finally able to hear the timid girl speak. After two years of knowing her she still seemed to stutter every time they talked. But it was just something she had gotten used to.
A new song started to play and it sounded really familiar. She just couldn't figure out the name, though it was on the tip of her tongue. She took another look around and saw everyone having fun and jumping around. Finally she spotted Naruto somewhere in the middle. She grabbed Hinata's hand again and started going straight to Naruto. He was dancing in a weird way and with his spiky blonde hair he was easy to keep in sight. He was doing some kind of robot dance, and it didn't really fit the song. Once they were really close to him he seemed to spot them. His blue eyes looked slightly clouded from the drinks, but he was still enjoying himself incredibly, or so it looked. He grinned and waved to them. When Sakura looked back to see if Hinata was still (sort of) with her, she saw a deep red blush over her face. 'Well this might just be a fun night for her after all..' She thought, and left them be for a bit.
Finally she remembered the song. She had heard it on the radio, it was called TSUNAMI. Though she didn't know who wrote the song, it was a good song to dance to. She also spotted Ino a few metres away talking to Kiba and Neji. Gaara, Temari and Shikamaru probably wouldn't have come, they were either too lazy (which means Temari was with Shikamaru somewhere else) or anti-social. Choji would be at the food table, she should've thought about that before. He was always eating. Tenten would be with him, she wouldn't leave him alone. She felt kind of sorry for the chubby guy. And then that left-
"SAKURA. MY LOVE FOR YOU IS ETERNAL. WILL YOU PLEASE MARRY ME?" Well that would be him. She looked at the face with huge bushy brows. Then looked down at his outfit. Of course he would be the only guy in a green jumpsuit at a party… Why am I even friends with this guy?
"Hello Lee, it's good to see you as well. Are you enjoying the party?" She asked politely.
Lee almost fell down face first on the floor, but he seemed to pick himself up just in time. He was definitely really drunk. Really, really drunk. Thinking about it, she needed something to drink as well. As Lee was not in a state to say anything else she grabbed him and led him the way to Ino and the other guys.
"Ino-pig! Good thing you're able to take care of this guy. Don't let him drink anything more! He's really not in a good state." Seeing the annoyed look on her friend's face she smiled happily.
"Oh, and hi Neji, Kiba. Good to see you guys here! I'll be back to talk later, if you aren't dancing that is. But right now I'm going to pay a quick visit to the drink and food table. I'll try to get Choji and Tenten to come back with me as well okay?" She saw Neji give her a quick nod, and she didn't even wait for any answer from Kiba. He was too engrossed with talking to Ino that he couldn't hear anything else.
Once she finally reached the tables she immediately spotted Tenten and Choji. Choji was still shoving food up his throat and Tenten was just awkwardly standing next to him, trying to get him to stop eating. Sakura tapped on Tenten's shoulder and she turned around to look who it was.
"Oh hello Sakura, good to see you here. Have you found all the others yet?" A nod from Sakura.
"Good, well you see, I couldn't leave this poor guy here alone. Who knows what he might do without anyone here. But I can't get him to stop eating though, I'm sure you'll figure out a way."
Sakura gave Tenten a once over, she was wearing something that looked like a Japanese yukata. Leave it to Tenten to wear something totally different than the others.
"Sure Tenten.. I'll do my best. You can go back to the others if you want though. I think Neji is quite lonely because Ino and Kiba are only talking to each other and I don't think Lee is good company at the moment." She smiled a small smile.
"No it's okay, we can go back together once we get Choji to stop eating. I don't want to leave you alone here, I know what it's like now." The other girl said.
"Alright then, I get it.. Choji. CHOJI. You will stop eating right this instance. I'm gonna pour myself a drink and when I'm back you will come with us. Get it?" Sometimes force was needed. He wasn't going to listen if you didn't do it this way.
Choji looked up at her with blank eyes. Blinked a few times and then nodded.
"Great! Be back in a minute guys~"
Sakura poured herself a big glass of red wine, she didn't like beer all that much. And of course cocktails were nice and all, but wine was still better. She took a sip before walking back to Choji and Tenten. Choji was eating something else again.
"Food time is over! Go go go! We're leaving this sad table." Making signs with her hands that they needed to head over to Ino and the others.
After looking around for a bit she had found the others again, and surprisingly Choji and Tenten were still following her as well. When they finally noticed them they waved. Tenten immediately went over to Neji's side to talk to him. He sort of seemed to enjoy the new company he just got. Choji went over to Lee to help the poor guy out, no one seemed to pay attention to him. Sakura just smiled to herself and took a look around. Naruto and Hinata were still talking and dancing a few metres away from them. Kiba and Ino were really hitting it off it seemed, and Neji and Tenten were discussing something that was probably interesting to them but not to her. Lee and Choji just walked off again and sat against a wall. And that left Sakura all on her own. Not really knowing what to do except dance on her own, which was kind of sad. She took a bigger gulp of her wine now, she had known it was a bad idea from the start. Not seeing any other choice she started to dance a few metres away from the others. After some dancing guys started to join her but she wasn't all that interested in them. Sure it was nice to dance with them for a bit, they weren't bad to look at, but she just disliked guys who were this drunk.. They wouldn't remember much from it anyway.
Suddenly she heard lots of noise. It sounded like a fight or something, well wasn't that surprising. With this many people it wasn't something that they were able to avoid. When she took a look who the fighting people were, and to her surprise it was Lee and this other guy she didn't know. The other guy had black hair and dark eyes and it was the same guy all the girls had been fawning over just a few hours ago. He looked pretty tough, but she also knew that Lee could pack a punch when he was drunk. She tried to make her way to her friend, and she saw her other friends trying to do the same. Naruto was the first to make it there, with Sakura not far behind him. Before Naruto could stop Lee from trying to hit the other guy again, the raven hit Lee right in the face. That had never happened before. All the people seemed to be cheering for someone, mostly she heard cheers for the raven. She gave the guy a killer glare and picked Lee off the ground. He didn't seem to notice what was happening anymore, he was drunk and got hit pretty hard in the face.
"HOW DARE YOU? DON'T JUST GO AROUND HITTING RANDOM PEOPLE YOU BASTARD." She yelled at the other boy.
The boy just looked at her but didn't say anything back. At that point some big guys reached the fight. A bit too late of course, the damage had already been done.
"I don't care who hit who, or who started it. You, you, you and you leave. Right now." That was meant to Naruto, Lee, the raven and her.
She didn't want to make that much of a problem out of it, but she was outraged. They had only tried to break up the fight. Naruto seemed like he wanted to pick a fight himself right now, and the raven just shrugged and walked out. Sakura picked Lee up together with Naruto and they walked out as well.
"Naruto.. could you give me a ride home? I went with Ino and she doesn't seem to want to leave yet."
"Sure Sakura, anything for you. Just give me one minute." He dumped Lee on her and started walking to the other guy.
"DON'T HIT RANDOM GUYS DURING A PARTY, TEME, IF I EVER SEE YOU DOING IT AGAIN YOU'LL BE PICKING A FIGHT WITH ME. YOU GOT THAT?" Naruto could be quite frightening if he wanted to, she was happy he was on her side right now.
"Hn." The raven walked to a fancy car, got in and drove away.
Naruto just stood there, gaping like a fish at what just happened. The other guy wasn't impressed at all! He just ignored whatever he had just said. Slowly he started walking back to his own car, still a look of disbelief on his face.
"Yeah err.. let's go Sakura. I'll get you and Lee home…"
