Last time:
"Technically, I didn't write that song, I finished it, when it came into my possession it was the raw unfinished idea." he told her
"Then who wrote it?" Sakura asked not releasing his hand from hers, somehow she had a feeling he needed it.
"My brother…"
--
"Brother?" she asked him confused no one ever mentioned he had a brother.
"Yea, Itachi. It was a song he wrote about our father…" he paused as if wondering whether he should continue. She gave his hand a reassuring squeeze and smiled at him, reminding him that she was still there and willing to listen to every thing he had to say. He gave her a very slight smile in return and continued.
"You see, our dad was a police officer, and he always dreamt his sons would become police officers just like him. So he shipped Itachi off to military school when he was young and tried to make him join his squad as soon as he came back. But Itachi refused he never wanted to be a police officer, he always had a passion for music. In fact it was Itachi that taught me to play the guitar. We were extremely close, like best friends. I really loved my brother, I looked up to him. Since my father couldn't get Itachi he turned to me, and since I was young, I tried to do every thing to please him, but nothing was good enough……. nothing I did was ever good enough for him. My mother would praise me, my brother would do that thing he did with his finger where he'd flick my forehead just to annoy me, but I knew he was proud, but my dad, he never cared. And when Itachi convinced mom to stop me from going to military school, Dad got pissed and nearly kicked him out the house… if he had I think I would have probably gone with him" he added as an after thought.
He paused and his grip tightened ever so slightly on Sakuras hand.
"Ever since then the tension in the house rose past boiling point, Itachi joined a band named Atatsuki, and dad was taking more and more missions away from home, so eventually we hardly saw him. One evening Itachi came home drunk from a party he went to, my mom had gone to get my dad from the airport. He told me to go visit Naruto at the orphanage, Naruto grew up in an orphanage were my mom used to volunteer, that's how we met. Anyway Itachi told me go, I don't think he wanted me to see him drunk. I spent the rest of the evening with Naruto, and about 7 I went home.."
She could tell this was getting harder for him cause his grip was tightening again.
"When I got home though, I saw my brother on the ground cradling my mothers body in his lap while my father was in a heap across the room. I ran straight to Itachi and asked what happened, but was just sitting there saying over and over, 'I'm sorry mommy' the last thing I remember before I passed out is looking down on mom's lifeless bloody face.
When I woke I was in the hospital, I kept asking and asking but no one wanted to tell me what happened. I was scared; I wanted to know where my brother and my mother were but the nurses refused to talk to me. Later that night Kakashi, who was a close family friend came to my hospital room and told me what Itachi had told the police. He said that he was drunk and my father had come home and they both somehow started a physical fight, Itachi was losing, he said that my mother had tried to stop them but got in the way and was hit in the head with a blunt object, Itachi lost it after that and brutally killed our father by stabbing him multiple times with his own pocket knife."
Sasuke stopped, he was staring at the ground, bangs covering his eyes Sakura felt her self tearing up but forced herself to be strong for him, she knew he wasn't finished.
"What happened to your brother?" she asked quietly
"After he confessed to the police he went mad, so they put him in an institute for the mentally troubled. I used to visit him occasionally…… but can't anymore." He chuckled dryly.
"Why not?"
"He's dead, I think it was the grief that killed him. I was with him while he was dieing, he seemed to have returned to sanity a minute before the end. He told me he's sorry this had to happen sorry he has to leave me now after all of it, then he got this goofy smile on his face and flicked my forehead and told me that mom says she loves me. Then he gave me a piece of paper and told me 'finish it' and those were his last words."
A solemn, awkward silence followed his words so Sakura did the only thing she could in that moment; she pulled on the hand she was holding, yanking him to her chest where she held him close stroking his hair like a child. At first he was stiff then he relaxed and let her hold him. She could feel something wet seep into her school shirt but she didn't question it, she just continued to stroke his hair, which was surprisingly soft. After about a minute he spoke.
"I'm alone, Sakura, everyone I loved is gone, my mother my brother, even my father…. All gone…. I'm alone."
"No your not and you know it. You have Naruto and the guys, you have Kakashi-sensei, heck you even have the girls, and, you have me, and I'm not leaving you anytime soon. None of us are, and we all love you."
He didn't look up but she could feel him smile against her "Sakura; thank you" he mumbled
He stayed in her embrace for a little while longer then sat up and looked at her.
"Ok you've heard my life story now out with it." he said his expression serious
Damn I was hoping he forgot well I guess it's only fair.
It was Sakura's turn to sigh as she began to talk.
"I've been teased for numerous things through out my life, my pink hair, green eyes my large forehead basically anything. On the outside I had to seem tough and brush them off, because I didn't want Hinata and Ino to feel bad about them selves so I hadda be the one to defend them, but besides that my life was good. One day going home from school a girl called me a worthless slut. Being called a slut didn't phase me because I knew it wasn't true, but the worthless part stuck. Because that is my biggest fear being, worthless or helpless, not being able to do anything to protect my self or the ones I love; basically no use to anyone. Anyway I went home had dinner, the normal, and I was in my mothers room watching her paint while singing, she loved to hear me sing, she used to call me her little singing cherry blossom."
She stopped talking Sasuke could see she was remembering something; she had a small smile on her face, then the smile changed to a frown and she continued talking.
"Then we heard shouting from down stairs, unfamiliar male voices were quarrelling with dad. My mom shoved me in a closet and grabbed a bat from in it then closed the door and told me no matter what happens don't leave the closet and don't make a sound. About 3 seconds after she shut the door, two men burst in. My mom swung the bat at the first one and kicked the second in his stomach. She was always a good fighter, she was the one to teach me to fight in the first place.. I was sure she was going to beat them to a bloody pulp, but then a third man walked in with my dad, a gun pointed to his head, and told her to behave or he'll kill my father. So she dropped the bat, and then… then they raped her…. the three took turns and forced my father to watch. I saw it all.. And couldn't do a thing, right then what the girl said to me earlier came back to me; worthless, I felt so very worthless I couldn't do anything to help my own mother"
He saw her hands had clenched into tight fists and her knuckles were turning white, so he took them in his and unclenched them, giving them a reassuring squeeze like she had done for him. She smiled at him and continued.
"When they finished they beat her until she couldn't stand, then they turned to my father, you see my dad was a lawyer and apparently he had recently sent their brother to jail, and he was put on death row. They pointed the gun at my dad, and I heard my mom scream 'you said you wont hurt him!' the man turned his head to her and said 'I lied' then shot my dad right through his head. I tried but I couldn't stifle my scream entirely. The man who was nearest the closet heard me and opened the door. I was frozen in my tracks, I honestly didn't know what to do. I remember my mother screaming for me to run but my feet wouldn't move. The first man grabbed me and flung me on my mother's bed and start to fondle my chest t-through my s-shirt.." he could tell she was holding back tears as she took a breath to steady her mildly shaking voice. He wanted so badly to comfort her but decided it was best to let her finish.
"I was crying by then, I could hear my mother shouting for them to stop for me to run, …then.. I heard a gun shot and the shouting stopped. My mind went blank, they had striped my down to my panties and forced me to my knees on the ground, one man had his hand holding me by my hair, which was long at the time while the other was trying to get himself into my mouth. At that point in time I felt the worse I ever had in my life, I felt helpless, but there was a voice at the back of my head reminding me whose daughter I was; my mother had put up a fight at first, and only stop to try to save dad, and now, with no one left to save, I was on the verge of submitting to her killers. Just then the man that had my hair yanked on it hard causing me to scream giving the man a chance to force himself into my mouth"
A lone tear escaped the side of her eye
"I couldn't take it anymore so I bit down on him, hard" she smirked to her self " then he hit me with the but of his gun I could tell I was bleeding but I didn't care. I grabbed onto a knife that had dropped from one of them earlier. The man holding me laughed and told me that there was nothing I could do, that was gonna die like my whore of a mother. Right then I lost it, I took the knife and cut my own hair from where he was holding, kicked the gun out of the first man's hand and punched him in the face, I kicked the other two in the groin grabbed the gun and jumped out my mother's window, it was around fall so I landed in a pile of leaves my dad had racked up earlier but sprained my ankle in the process. I got up and ran for it; straight down the street in just my underwear, I ran into the first open place I could find which just happened to be a bar"
She gave a small laugh "now that I think about it wasn't the smartest thing I could have done, I mean a half naked girl running into a bar with drunk men.. But luckily I ran straight into the large chest of a woman. The last thing I remember before passing out is the woman staring at me with a 'WTF' look that reminded me so much of my mom I nearly laughed. Anywho, when I woke up I was in a bed in someone else clothes, and a very scary looking girl staring at me. Apparently the woman I ran into owned an orphanage in Suna even though she lived abroad, she comes down a couple times a year to check on the place. The girl called her back into the room and she asked me what happened, I told her about the men and my parents, so she reported it to the police, and "kindly convinced" in other words threatened them into not telling the press about who the victims were, cause I still had to go to school and would have enough trouble with out the whole world knowing. So she took me in and I started living at the orphanage, and even though I hardly saw her, that woman turned into a mother to me, and the scary girl, turned out to be Ten-ten, we didn't get along at first but that didn't last long as you can tell."
She finished her story with a lopsided grin but he could see the tears longing to cascade down her soft porcelain cheeks. He reached out for her and mimicked her earlier actions by bringing her head to rest on his chest stroking her hair slowly, he wasn't used to comforting others so he decided to just follow her lead from earlier.
"S-Sasuke, what are you doing..?" she asked
"Sshh you did it for me so I'm returning the favour" he said as he buried his face in her hair. "It's ok to let it out you know, you can cry in front of me I wont think any different of you" he added softly, he felt her relax in his arms.
"Your one to talk" she said before she let her tears flow freely into his chest. She cried into him gripping his shirt as she sobbed.
"I couldn't save them, I couldn't do anything but stand and watch them get hurt, watch them die, I couldn't protect them…I cant protect anyone.!!" she screamed into his chest.
He tightened his hold on her "There was nothing you could have done to save them Sakura, your alive, and I'm sure your mother is happy about that where ever she is now. You've protected Hinata from those girls you told us about and I'm sure you've done so much more for those 3. You are not worthless Sakura, and you don't always need to protect people, sometimes you need protecting too, and I promise you I will always be here for you. I will always protect you… with my life."
There was a slight pause after his words, he could feel her sobs calming a bit against him, until they stopped completely, but he didn't let go of her, some how, he didn't want to.
She looked up at him "Thanks Sasuke-kun"
He stared back at her; even though he knew it wasn't the time for such thoughts, he couldn't help but think that she looked even cuter right now with her slightly puffy eyes and damp cheeks. Unconsciously his head started to move to close the gap between their faces. As his head inched closer, hers started to move in response. Inches turned into centimetres…centimetres into millimetres until finally their lips met. They both felt like they were in heaven as their lips started to move against each other, eyes closed Sakura brought her arms around his neck. It was a sweet gentle kiss, each party involved giving and receiving comfort at the same time. He could taste her cherry flavoured lip gloss, as he sucked her bottom lip, all it did was leave him longing for more.
We're kissing Sasuke-kun!! Hell yeah!! / We're kissing Sakura-chan!! Wohoo!
Mmmmm yeah / ..mm hn…
He was about to lick her lips for entrance when they both realised something.
WE'RE KISSING SASUKE!! / WE'RE KISSING SAKURA!!
WTF!!
They opened their eyes and let go of each other quickly, both averting their eyes from the other.
"Uhh.." Sasuke started
"Umm" Sakura muttered playing with her short hair
"Um maybe we should go check to see if dinner's ready." she suggested tiring really hard to get rid of that annoying heat that seemed to have settled on her face.
"Hn.." he agreed fighting the same losing battle.
--
"What do you think they're doing down there?" asked a curious Ino
"Probably just talking…" Hinata replied sitting next to her, setting the pizzas they had ordered on the table.
"Sasuke? Talking? Troublesome, but I fine that highly unlikely, you hardy ever get more than a troublesome 2 word sentence from him.." said Shikamaru boredly reaching out for a slice.
"I agree with Nara…" Neji said, watching Ino slap away Shikamaru's hand
"Your one to talk mister ice-cube" Ten-ten stated dryly
"You think we should go call them for dinner?" Ino asked turning to Ten-ten, who was staring longingly at the pie.
"Nah… wouldn't want to interrupt what their doing, now would we…." she said matter-of-factly, waggling her eyebrows a bit.
"And what would that be …?" came a slightly irritated voice behind her.
Ten-ten turned her head to see Sakura standing behind her arms folded eyebrow raised, next to a stoic looking Sasuke hands stuffed in his pockets as usual.
"Oh I don't know, but who better to tell us than yourself ne? What were you two doing?" She asked her voice full of underlying implications.
"Talking.." she stated flatly her stance not wavering in the slightest, but Ten-ten and Naruto didn't fail to notice the faint blush that had crept onto their best friends faces in that split second and both made a mental note to ask them about it later.
"I didn't think Teme was capable of speaking in sentences much less holding a conversation.." Naruto stated, trying to annoy him enough to get rid of the tell tale blush before the others saw. His plan, for once, seemed to work.
"Can it Dobe…"
"Well the pizza just came, so we can eat now." Hinata put in nicely before Naruto could reply.
"I thought you were making dinner tonight Hina?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Well, I was but…"
Flashback
"What's that's smell?" Ten-ten asked
…..
….
….
"AHH THE FOOD!!" a very frantic blur of indigo sped out into the kitchen followed by a yellow one.
"Don't worry Hinata-chan I'll help you!! Dattebayo!!"
Hinata raced into the kitchen to find the chicken she had left simmering one the stove had started to burn.. Nothing too serious. She was about to turn off the stove when Naruto ran in.
"Hinata-chan! don't worry I'll help!!" just that moment he saw the smoking pot "Ahhh Fire!! Ill save you Hinata-chan!!"
"N-Naruto-kun stop!" but unfortunately he didn't hear her, he rushed to the sink and filled a bowl of water and rushed to the stove. He threw the water into the large frying dish where the chicken was simmering in oil. As soon as the two liquids made contact with each other, they started to sizzle and spit. Droplets of extremely hot oil were sent flying like molten rock from a volcano, scaring the daylights out of the poor unsuspecting Naruto, who backed away screaming knocking into Hinata, who was standing behind him, causing her to hit into the counter sending the rice in the bowl that was resting on said counter and a small container of soy sauce flying. Slipping on a puddle of water that had dropped from the bowl on it's trip to the stove, Hinata grabbed on to Naruto in an attempt to steady herself but was only successful in pulling him down with her.
It all ended with Hinata on her back on the floor with Naruto laying on top of her both covered in rice and soy sauce, the bowl that he used to 'out the fire' had slipped out of his hands as he fell and had landed right on his head.
"Hehe Sorry Hinata-chan" he said apologetically, from what he had heard of the way she protected her kitchen he was sure she was going to kill him, but to his surprise she just laughed.
"Haha, I'm sorry, you just look so funny haha!!" she choked out.
It was then he realised he was on the ground a bowl on his head covered in rice and soy sauce.
"Haha you don't look half bad yourself "he said sitting up slightly flicking a rice grain off her nose. They both started laughing uncontrollably, not noticing that he was still straddling her ... Well that was until the others walked in to see what all the noise was about.
"Uzumaki!! What are you doing to my cousin…?" Neji growled
"Eep!!" was the response from the blonde before he ran through the hall screaming like a little girl who just saw a spider, with Neji close on his heels. Ten-ten and Ino were both trying extremely hard to control they laughter, while Shikamaru was grinning and Hinata who, though was slightly worried, was stifling her giggles behind hand.
They followed the duo back into the living room to see both of them rolling on the floor Naruto in a head lock, while Neji was smirking in satisfaction. By this time Ten-ten and Ino were in stitches on the floor laughing, while Shikamaru was chuckling evilly. After some begging from Hinata, Neji reluctantly let go of Naruto who was slowly beginning to turn blue, and called for pizza, while the rest went to change.
It was then that both Sasuke and Sakura realised they were the only ones still in uniform.
"Well I'll guess we'll go change now," Sakura stated, then she turned to Sasuke " Grab some clothes and follow me"
He obeyed her and got a change of clothes form his bag on the floor and followed her into the hall up the stairs and into her room.
"You can change here I'll take the bathroom" she said quietly, then turned and headed into a door on the left. He changed quickly into a pair of jeans and a dark blue muscle shirt then sat on her bed and took in his surroundings.
It was the first time he'd seen her room, and honestly, it suited her, vibrant and fun with the pink cherry blossom dancing around the room, a lot like her, their cheerfulness was the first thing you see. Then the background painted red it reminded him a bit about her sarcastic, slightly violent nature and short temper. The black bean bag and pillows, you don't notice until you really looked, to him were like the emotions she tried to hide. He might have been thinking too much into it but the room really suited her. A quick look in to her open closet told him what her favourite colours were, over half of her clothes were either black or red. He looked over to her desk and saw a huge book laying open on it. He got up and walked over and picked it up. It was probably heavier than half the books he owned put together, checking the cover he realised it was a medical skills book, and it wasn't the only one of it's kind there.
Wow she sure does read a lot…
"Sasuke are you done?" came a voice from the bathroom
"Hn.." he said
She opened the door and stepped out, she had on a light blue tank top and a pair of knee jeans, and had her hair up in a ponytail.
"You are such a cave man…" she said shaking her head throwing both of their uniforms in a basket of dirty clothes. There was an awkward silence as they just stood there looking at each other, It was Sakura who broke it…
"Look, about what happened down stairs….. I'm sorry" she started, she was having trouble meeting his eyes.
"Don't be…" this statement caused her to look up at him curiously, he realised this so he continued.
"There's nothing to be sorry about, it's as much your fault as it is mine. We both were looking for a source of comfort at the time, we weren't in out right minds. So it doesn't count."
"Really?" Sakura asked smiling
"Hn.."
"Caveman!" she said and hit him playfully
He smirked "So, friends Pinky?"
"Best friends" she exclaimed sticking out her tongue. He chuckled a bit and went to walk through the door but she stopped him.
"Wait there's one more thing" and with that she jumped on his back "All aboard the cave man express!! To the living room and step on it!!"
He was about to complain when he got an idea…
"Step on it huh?" he smirked "hold on to your hair Pinky" with that he ran from her room down the hall as fast as he could, considering he was indoors, causing her to let out a yelp that was half way between a scream and a laugh, when he got to the stairs however, he paused.
"Uh Sasuke?" just then he jumped and sat on the railing, and slid down, Sakura still on his back.
"Sasuke what the hell!!" she screamed though she was still laughing. Near the end he jumped of and ran the rest of the way to the living room where the others had already started eating, and deposited the laughing girl unceremoniously on the couch. "Haha, your evil! Haha" she managed to choke out
"You're the one who told me to step on it Pinky…" he replied smirking. It was only when someone cleared their throat did they remember there were other people present. Ino and Neji were looking at them with raised eyebrows, Naruto and Ten-ten looked like they were holding back laughter, Hinata was giggling softly behind her hand and Shikamaru….. Shikamaru…. Was asleep…
"You know what I'm not even going to ask" Ino said passing the box over to them.
"Hn.." Sasuke replied taking the box, sitting next to Sakura on the couch.
"Well now that's over we have about 30 minutes to waste until the movie starts," Ten-ten stated for her position next to the sleeping Shikamaru on the floor. "Any suggestions?"
"oo oo how bout we play truth or dare?!" squealed an excited Ino.
"Alright any objections…"Sakura asked
"Hn.."
"Nah,"
"Aa.."
"Nope!"
"No"
"Good then it's decided….. Some one's gonna have to wake Shikamaru though" Sakura pointed out.
"Oh can I?" Ten-ten asked hopefully
"I don't think he'd be too happy to wake up with a needle in is ass Ten…" Sakura deadpanned while the boys shuddered.
"Naruto-kun why don't you wake him?" Hinata asked him
He sure is loud enough to…but in a cute way she thought
"Can't, He's used to me waking him up, he's learnt to sleep through it…" he told her.
"Well that leaves only one loudmo- cough- I mean person left" Ten-ten said covering her slip up with a cough. "Ino, you wake him"
"Gladly" she got off couch were she was sitting next to Naruto and knelt down on the floor. She scooted closer to the sleeping genius and leaned down to his ear.
"Oh Shika-kun…WAKE THE HELL UP!!"
"Trouble woman what's with the screaming!"
"What screaming?" she chirped happily.
"Any way we're playing truth or dare so get up." she told him
"Fine… troublesome woman" he mumbled to last part to himself.
"Alright who wants to go first?" Sakura asked " Besides Naruto…" she added as she saw him start to open his mouth.
"I'll go" Hinata volunteered
"Ok sure"
"Ok.. Um… Sakura-chan, Truth or Dare?"
"Dare! Duh!!" she exclaimed
"Ok give Sasuke a lap dance…."
"WHAT!!" Sakura shouted while Sasuke twitched and Ino Ten-ten and Naruto burst out laughing.
"You chose dare Saku-chan, so you have to do it…"
"Hinata, if you weren't so cute, I'd say I hate you right now…" she said but got up none the less. "Ino get me my .."
Before she finished the music started
"Why do I have the feeling you people planned this…" she deadpanned
She moved until she was directly in front of Sasuke, and started to sway her hips to the music.
No matter what he did, Sasuke couldn't look away, honestly, he didn't want to.
Where the hell did she learn to dance like that…
I don't know, and for right now I don't care just shut up and watch
She spun her hips around again and again her entire body moving along with the beat slowly and gracefully dancing just out of his reach. At one point she moved her body down to the ground and slowly brought it back up, her eyes closed, lips parted.
Oh Kami-sama..
Sasu-chan we're getting a lil problem down below…
He tore his eyes off the dancing beauty and looked down to realise his pants had tightened considerably. He heard chuckling for his left and realised that Neji had also noticed his 'lil problem'. He glared at the Hyuuga boy before turning back to the girl in front him just as she stopped. He grabbed one of the throw pillows and pretended to move it away for her to sit back down, but in reality he had to make sure she didn't notice what she had done to him.
"Humph.. Happy now Hina…" she said, still slightly red in the face.
"Yup!" said girl replied.
"Sigh… fine, Naruto-baka, Truth or Dare?"
"Dare! Believe it!"
"Ummm strip to your boxers for the rest of the game."
Sasuke looked at her with a raised eyebrow while Naruto stripped, why would she want to see Naruto in his boxers, unless she was attracted to him… some how this thought upset him.. His mind was going a mile a minute, until he noticed the blush adorning a certain female Hyuuga's face as she tried to stop staring and his best friends naked chest. He turned to look back at Sakura, and the smirk on her face confirmed thoughts; she was getting revenge. This gave him a plan for his own revenge, he's just have to wait his turn…
"Teme, Truth or Dare."
That was fast..
don't get too happy we still have to get through our turn…
"Dare.."
"Sing I'm a little teapot!!"
"Dobe, what the hell…"
"You gotta do it…"
".. Hn.." He started up the song but he didn't sound like the normal cheesy nursery rhyme, and coming from him, the song sounded almost normal, if not slightly perverted.. (A/N don't ask how he sounded, ok just flow with me)
"Man your no fun, teme!"
"You told me sing it not how to sing it…"
"He's right you know" Hinata told Naruto, still finding very hard to make eye contact.
"Humph! Fine your turn Teme.." Naruto pouted
"Hyuuga, Truth or Dare?"
"Truth.."
"What's that matter Hyuuga, don't got enough balls for a dare, heck Sakura picked dare, and she doesn't even have balls.."
"Fine, Uchiha, dare.."
Sakura leaned close to Sasuke's ear "If I didn't know you were trying to get him back for something, I would have hit you for that last comment… so this better be good."
He smirked at her and turned his attention back to the Hyuuga in question. "Spend the next ten minutes in the broom closet over there with Ten-ten…."
"Fin-.."
"Let me finish Hyuuga… ten minutes… shirtless, both of you."
For the girls none of them had ever seen Ten-ten blush so hard, and for the guys they had never seen Neji blush period.
"Fine.." Neji told him pulling off his shirt revealing his chiselled six pack. If it was possible, Sakura just noticed her best friend turn about six shades redder.
He looked over to Ten-ten "well the sooner we go…"
"O-Oh right" she stammered. Standing up she walked toward him striping of her t-shirt thanking the heavens that she didn't put on her lacy semi- see- trough bra, that morning.
As soon as the door shut Sasuke turned back to Sakura who was grinning from ear to ear.
"Good enough for you Pinky?" he said his trademark smirk still adorning his face.
"Ah, it'll do." she laughed
In the closet
The closet was way too small in Ten-ten's opinion, but then again in her current situation it could have been the size of an olympic stadium and it would still be too small. But back to matters at hand, there in front of her was the toned chest of Neji Hyuuga, close enough to touch, and it was taking all her restraint not to…
Why the hell must he be so damn hot!!
Little did she know Neji was having the same thoughts as her; just slightly more graphic.
Now, Neji is human male, he may not act like it, and to some may not look like it, but he is. Being the human male he is, he is attracted to certain parts of the female body, that just happen to be located in the chest area. In normal terms… He's a breast man. However, he never gave his fans a second glance, because, well he has his standards, but he was defiantly glancing now, in fact he was almost flat out staring.
Damn her chest is huge...and look so soft and touchab- No! this is Ten-ten your thinking about, she'd probably use me for target practice if she could read my mind now. Damn that stupid Uchiha. I need to distract myself some how…
"Sorry you had to get dragged into this"He said as calmly as possible trying to keep his line of vision level with her face, not noticing she was having the same problems.
His sudden speech jumped her out of her own unwanted train of thought. She pulled her self together quickly before she replied, there was no way in hell she'd ever let a man believe she was gawking.
"The great Hyuuga Neji is apologizing… oh my don't I feel honoured …"she told him placing one hand on her hip.
"Yes, you should' he smirked at her
"Geeze what an ego Hyu- Neji" she corrected her self quickly blushing slightly at the memory of what happen the last time she called him by his family name.
"Ah, your learning Ten-chan" he said his smirk never leaving his face.
"Humph whatever.."
Outside closet
Sakura was lying upside down on the couch next to Sasuke, her back flat on the seat with her head falling over the edge, while her legs were crossed and thrown over the back.
"Your gonna break your neck you know" Sasuke warn her while Ino was lecturing Shikamaru about staying awake.
"No I wont, I'm comfortable" she told him happily
"Fine but I'm not carrying you to the hospital or paying your funeral bill…" he said to her in his usual monotone.
"Geeze with best friends like you who needs adults…" she deadpanned. She sighed and extended her hands to the ground. She pushed her back up and brought her legs up from the couch into a handstand, then brought her legs down until was in a standing position.
Damn she's flexible, we'll just have to find out what else she can do with that body of hers…. If you get my drift..
Shut up… your almost as bad as Kakashi
….Well he did raise us, but anyway admit it you like her, I know I do, and technically I'm you so… well you should get it….
His internal argument was interrupted when Sakura plopped back on the couch.
"You know you really should lighten up" she said wisely, he just looked at her with a raised eyebrow so she continued, " You worry too much, if you continue this way you'll be one miserable old man" she teased
"Yea, teme keep this up and you'll never have a girlfriend" Naruto said cutting his ramen rant to Hinata short.
"Dobe, last time I checked you didn't have a girl either, and should I remind you who has the most fans…even though I wish they'd all die…"he mumbled the last part to himself, but just loud enough for Sakura to hear causing her to giggle slightly.
"I do believe he said girlfriend not whores" Ino stated matter-of-factly giving up on Shikamaru as a lost cause.
"She has a point" Hinata added
"Hn.."
"Aww just when I thought when we were gonna get conversation out of him" Ino teased.
Back in the closet
It felt like hours had passed them by as the stood in silence, but in fact, ….. It was only eight minutes. During those minutes, a thought had popped into Ten-ten's overly curious mind, and like Sakura when she wanted answers she got them.
"Hey Neji, can I ask you something?" she asked him "Oh and I'm gonna ask you whether you say yes or not, just asking to be polite.." she added grinning.
"If you insist.."
"Why are you such an antisocial prick?"
Neji looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Pardon?"
"You heard me, you and Sasuke, are like blocks of ice…."
"Then why don't you ask him?" he asked her.
"Well I'm not stuck in a closet with him now am I?" She told he raising her own brow.
Thank Kami, Neji found himself thinking somehow glad it was him she was stuck with and not any one else. Shaking his head slightly to rid himself of "useless" thoughts he refocused on the girl in front him who had opened her mouth to continue.
"Besides, I'll let Sakura ask him, they seem closer" she said smirking
"I see your point" he told her returning her smirk.
"Well, you haven't answered me…."
He looked at he for a couple of seconds before answering "Why do want to know?" smirk not living his perfect features.
"Just curious" she told him
"Aww does Ten-chan care about me all of a sudden" he teased slowly moving closer to her
"N-no, I'm just c-curious that's all" she said backing away slightly
"If you say so" He right in front of her, smirk widening as he moved
"N-Neji?" she stammered unsure of what he was doing
"Oh by the way, Ten? Times up." he said and walked past her out the closet. It was only then she noticed she was standing in front the door…
Stupid Hyuuga, he was stalling cause he knew the time was almost up.

Ino was on the floor in front of the arm chair that Shikamaru was sleeping on.
I don't believe this, this is my Shika-kun, the first boy I ever liked, I wonder if he remembers me.
She stared up at him wishfully sure no one would noticed her stares. Sasuke and Sakura where arguing about something or the other and Naruto was telling Hinata some made up story while she giggled and he antics.
He really hasn't change a bit, still the lazy idiot I used to watch clouds with. she continue to stare for a couple of minutes taking in all the features of his handsome face. On second thought he has changed, he looks even better now.
The sound of the closet door opening brought Ino back to reality. She turned to see the normally stoic Hyuuga waltzing out of the closet, a barely visible smirk on his face followed by a blushing Ten-Ten. hmm I wonder what happened to her?
" Alright now that or 2 love birds are back, whose next?"
