DISCLAIMER: Still don't own Naruto...probably never will. (Nor do I own the song Crazy Bitch by Buckcherry) :P
I have written the second Chapter! Woo-hoo! ;) Enjoy!
Sakura was in her room, music up as loud as it could possibly go. She was attempting to drown out her parents, and Ami's music.
It was Friday night, which meant that Tenten, Hinata and Sai were coming over to work on the history project. It also meant that Naruto, Neji, Ami, and...Sasuke would be there to finish their project.
"Hey! You're crazy bitch, but you fuck so good I'm on top of it..." Sakura sang along with Buckcherry, she was flipping though a magazine, swaying her body with the music. Sakura glanced up towards her bedroom door when she heard a small chuckle. She froze, the forgotton magazine fell from her hands as Sakura stared at none other than Sasuke Uchiha.
It took Sakura a moment to register that Sasuke was really standing there, when she did she was pissed.
"You little shit! What are you doing here?" sakura shouted over the music. Sasuke walked over to the stereo and turned it off, then looked at Sakura.
"I'm here to work on my history project." Sasuke stated smoothly.
"No shit, I meant what are you doing in my god damn room?" Sakura spat out.
"Hn" Sasuke shrugged as he sat down on Sakura's bed. He patted the spot next to him as a motion for Sakura to join him. Sakura glared. Sasuke smirked.
"Get out." Sakura demanded as she pointed to the door.
Slowly Sasuke stood and walked over to Sakura. He stopped a few inches in front of the girl. Sakura thought about backing up, but her feet seemed rooted to the floor. Sasuke bent his head to Sakura's level, then moved his head toward hers. Their lips were just about together, when the door bell rang.
Sakura jumped away from Sasuke and ran to her door, she stepped into the hall, and spared one glance at the dissapointed Uchiha, before she walked down the stairs to greet her friends.
Sasuke sighed and ran a shaky hand through his hair, then headed to the main floor of the...mansion as well.
When Sasuke reached the entry way he saw Tenten, Hinata and Sai following Sakura down a long hall to what looked like the library.
"Hey Sasuke!"
Sasuke turned his head to see Naruto and Neij walk inside, he smirked and the three of them went into the kitchen where Ami was waiting for them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN THE LIBRARY
The four teens were seated at a large round table, they were talking and laughing, when Tenten asked a question that both Hinata and Sai were wondering as well.
"Sakura...you and your sister are so different, why is that...if you don't mind me asking." Everyone stopped what they were doing and waited for Sakura to answer.
"I don't mind..." Sakura smiled a soft, thoughtful smile, then continued, "Once we were close, we used to do everything together, we were never apart."
"So what happened?" Hinata asked
Sakura smirked, "Our parents happened." Sakura looked at her friends and noticed their confused faces, she smiled and began explaining.
"Did you know that Ami used to be nice, she was sweetest person I knew. She was the one who would go talk to the kid who was sitting all alone at the park, she was always the first to invite others to come play with us, and she was a huge enviormentalist. She was all about saving the world, and helping everybody in."
Sakura paused as she remembered that time in her life.
"But that changed when my parents started to fight. At first it was small fights, but the fights got bigger, and louder, and eventually my parents would stop talking to one another for days on end. When that happened one of my parents'--usually my mom--would move out for awhile. My parents never wanted to be alone during those times, so they each took a twin. I went with my mom, and Ami stayed with my father."
Sakura bit the coner of her lower lip, and Hinata placed a hand on Sakuras'. Sakura smiled and picked up where she had left off.
"Anyway, as my parents broke apart, they pulled Ami and I away too. I became more like my mom; free spirited, out going and my mom taught me that I should be in charge of my own future. While Ami grew up learning that she needed to plan for a good future, and follow the rules so she'll be successful, rich, and what not. That was what my father told her all her life, and so thats what she knew."
"Wow, I had know idea." Tenten said once Sakura was finished.
"Sakura, if your parents are so different, then why are..." Sai trailed off.
"Married?" Sakura finished for him. Sai nodded and Sakura smiled.
"They didn't have a choice, they were betrothed."
It was silent after that. Then Hinata spoke up.
"Are you betrothed Sakura?" She asked, looking down at the table.
"I was." Sakura said. Tenten, and Hinata's eyes widened in confusion, Sai tillded his head to the side. Sakura laughed softly.
"My mom told me that if both me and my betrothed agreed that we didn't want to get married, then we didn't have to. So I wrote a letter to him, telling him this, and asking if we could break the agreement to get married. He wrote back saying that he was happy to. He also thanked me for bringing this up, he said that he was in love with a girl from his school. And that was the end of that."
Sakura shrugged her shoulders as if this was nothing big, but all three of her friends eyes looked as if they were going to pop.
"You...you can do that?" Hinata asked.
"I did." Sakura replied.
"So...is Ami betrothed?" Sai asked, he kept his voice casual, but his eyes showed a sign of hope, and a hint of longing.
"Yes, she is." Sakura said softly.
"To...who?"
"...Sasuke Uchiha."
Everyone gasped. Sai clenched his hands. Sakura smiled.
"Wow. I would never have guessed that." Tenten said. "Anyway, who were you engaged to?"
"Neji Hyuuga." Sakura said simply.
"WHAT!!!!" TenTen shouted. sakura luaghed. Hinata smiled, and Sai just looked amused.
"He...he loves someone at school...who the hell would he like...he doesn't frickin' talk to any girls." Tenten stated.
"Well, I heard Neji mention a girl from his math class." Hinata smiled as she saw Tentens make a face in thought.
"Come to think of it, I did over-hear Neji say something about a girl with brown hair, while we were in gym." Sai stated.
Tenten's eyes grew big, and she smiled. Then she shook her head and glared at her friends.
"You guys are just saying that crap." She said.
"They are just trying to get you to admitt you like Neji." Sakura smirked.
TenTen blushed and looked at the table. " ...Damn...you guys suck...I...I like Neji. Alot." She said.
"Yeah, figured. Well seeing as how you told, I guess I will too." Sai took a breath, and then continued. "I really like Ami."
Everyone nodded their heads.
"I-I...like...N-Naruto." Hinata stammered out, her face red.
They were all silent for awhile, then Sakura laughed.
"Whats so funny?" TenTen asked.
"I don't know." Sakura laughed harder then.
Hinata and Sai were both smiling, then Tenten began laughing too. Hinata and Sai joined in. They all laughed at nothing, then laughed harder for no particular reason. Gotta love hanging with your friends.
"Omigod, I haven't laughed that hard for a long time." Sakura said once she caught her breath. Everyone agreed, then they decided they were going to finish the project and then find some much desearved food.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITH THE OTHER GROUP OF TEENS
"Wait a minute! You were once engaged to Sakura?" Naruto yelled to Neji.
"Yes, but we both agreed that we wanted to marry other people so we broke the engagement." Neji said camly.
"I remember when Sakura told my dad, he was furious, weren't your parents upset?" Ami asked.
"At first they were, but I explained that I'm love with another girl." Neji stated.
Naruto smiled. "In love?" He asked.
Neji's eyes widened a fraction. Crap he was caught. He sighed, "Well its not like you guys didn't know...I like...Tenten."
"Yeah you do, you stare at her all the time!" Naruto laughed out. Neji glared.
"I don't think you should be talking. Everyone knows you like Hinata." Naruto froze.
"Yeah, Naruto why don't you tell Hinata, I'm sure she likes you too." Ami said.
"Well...I...Hinata is...her family..." Naruto struggled with his words.
"You don't think you are good enough?" Sasuke asked.
"Well, I'm not from a noble family..." Naruto looked at the ground.
"So, Tentens not either, and I plan on asking her out." Neji stated. "Who the hell cares what the Hyuuga family thinks."
"Wait, if you were betrothed, wouldn't Hinata be also?" Ami asked.
"She was betrothed, but her younger sister was betrothed to the same guy, and since those two were closer in age they are going to get married when they turn 18. So Hinata is free." Neji said that last part as he looked at Naruto. Naruto smiled. Then his stomach growled, all eyes turned to Naruto as he laughed in embassemnt. Ami smiled.
"Do you guys want to get something to eat?" Ami asked. The three males nodded and they all got up and headed to the kitchen. When they reached the door they heard laughter coming from the other side. Ami pushed the door open to reveal Tenten and Sakura kicking a hacky sack back and forth, Hinata was watching and Sai was drawing in his notebook.
"Hey." Tenten said when she noticed the others.
"Hi." Naruto said as he took a seat next to Hinata. Ami stood beside Sai, while Sasuke sat in the spot closest to Sakura. Sakura rolled her eyes and walked over to Neji, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the spot where she was standing before.
"Here you try and keep up with her." Sakura said as she dropped the Hacky sack into Neji's hand. She then walked over to the fridge and pulled a green apple, she rinsed it and was about to take a bite, when it was pulled out of her hands. Sakura glared. Sasuke smirked.
"There are more apple's in the fridge, so give me mine." Sakura demamded. Sasuke's smirk grew, and he lightly tossed the apple into the air and caught it. Then he took a bite. A big bite. Sakura was about to punch his sorry face, when a huge bang of thunder was heard outside. The thunder was followed by a mass of lighting, and rain that was beating so hard against the walls it seem as if it would break through.
"Wow." Hinata whispered, Naruto moved closer to her. Ami turned on the weather channel.
"They say that this storm is supposed to last all night. There is no way you guys can drive home." Ami said. They all looked out the windows. Nope, nobody was leaving tonight.
'Great.' Sakura thought. She glanced at Sasuke. The jerk had taken another bite of her apple. Sakura grabbed the apple, and began walking out of the room.
"Ami, you and Sai should get a movie picked out. Tenten, Hinata you two can follow me, I'll get you some clothes to change into." Sakura said. Tenten and Hinata got up and followed Sakura to her room. Ami and Sai, both blushing, went to the basement. While the other three males stayed put.
Once everyone (the girls) were changed they all found spots in front of the large screen, to watch the movie. Sakura looked around at everyone, and smiled. Sai and Ami were sitting on the love-seat, Neji and Tenten sat side-by-side on the overly stuffed couch. Hinata was on the other side of Tenten, and Naruto was on the floor, leaning agaisnt Hinata's legs. Sakura glanced around again, and her smiled faded. Sasuke wasn't there, which meant he didn't have a place to sit...except for...
"Hey." Hot breath tickled Sakura's ear. Crap.
"Sit on the floor." Sakura didn't look at Sasuke as she said this.
"No, I'm very comfortable here." Sasuke said as he leaned his body against Sakura's in the large arm chair. Sakura was about to reply, but Sasuke placed a hand over Sakura's mouth. He pointed to the screen. Damn the movie was starting. So she sat there in silence...which was rather hard to do when Sasuke had put his arm around Sakura and pulled her so she was sitting on his lap.
'I really need to move.' Sakura thought. 'Do you really want to?' A voice asked Sakura. She didn't respond, because she didn't know the answer...she didn't WANT to know the answer. Sakura sighed an irritated sigh, and looked around the room. Everyone was sleeping. Slowly Sakura turned her head to look at Sasuke, he too was asleep. Sakura carefully began to move her body away from the boy, but he held her tighter. She sighed, and decided there wasn't anyway of getting out of this, so she curled her legs up and fell asleep, feeling rather warm and safe.
Sasuke opened his eyes when he felt Sakura's even breathing. He smirked and adjusted them so they were spread out better in the chair. He wrapped both his arms around her, and closed his eyes.
"Night, my rebel." He whispered into her hair before falling asleep as well.
So how was that chapter??? Please review. I'm already working on the third chapter, so hopefully the wait wont be to long. :)
