Chapter 2
"Miss Sakura, it's time to get up!"
A muffled voice was heard under a pile of blankets, "five more minutes."
"But, miss, your mother is calling you downstairs."
"Fine, fine. Tell her I'll be down in ten minutes."
Sakura got out of bed, still in her tank top and matching shorts. She went in her bathroom, did her morning routine and got out. She then walked to her walk-in closet and put on a sky blue shirt and denim shorts. She wore her white flip flops, tied her hair into a high ponytail and went out the door. She slid down the railing of their grand staircase and found her parents with Uchiha Fugaku, Mikoto and Itachi. They seem to be carrying suitcases with them.
"Good morning! What's up Mom?" she asked.
"Well, we'll be going abroad for a while so be good 'kay?" her mother said.
"Okay!"
"Goodbye darling!" her parents chorused.
"Goodbye! Bye Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha! Bye Itachi-nii-san!"
The adults plus Itachi then went out the door.
"Well, that was a touchy scene." A voice said.
Sakura turned around and found Sasuke leaning on a wall, smirking,
"WHAT THE HECK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
"What does it look like? I'm staying here for a while."
"WHAT! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
somewhere halfway around the world
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
RANDOM PERSON: What was that?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
"Will you calm down?"
"You can't be here. I have a sleepover today!"
"Hn. They ordered me to. Besides, my friends are coming over too."
"NOOOOO- hmf" a hand was suddenly clamped over her mouth.
"Shut up will you?"
Sasuke let go of her and said, "Don't worry. I know where I'll sleep." He then grabbed his bag, which Sakura hadn't noticed before and walked up the stairs.
Sakura rolled her eyes at him and walked her way to the kitchen. She asked the maids to let her do the cooking. She grabbed some eggs, a bag of flour, milk, butter and chocolate chips. She then prepared the batter in a bowl and folded in the chocolate chips. She heated a frying pan and put a piece of butter there. She poured a portion of the batter and made pancakes. After five minutes, there was a huge stack of pancakes on a plate. She placed it on the counter and grabbed maple syrup from the fridge. When she looked at her pancakes, some of it were on a separate plate in front of Sasuke.
"Whoa! You could make a living out of scaring me!" she exclaimed.
"Hn. Pass me the syrup would you? I haven't had breakfast yet."
She then took some of the pancakes and sat across him. Then, they began to eat in silence. When they finished,…
"Thanks. That was good." Sasuke whispered.
Sakura was caught off guard with his statement. Nevertheless, she quickly regained her composure and smiled at him.
"You're welcome!"
They left the plates in the sink and went back to their rooms. It seems that sasuke will stay in the room across Sakura's. Also, the rooms where they would heve their sleepovers are next to each other. Sakura entered her room and lied down on her four post bed. Suddenly, she felt a vibration. It was her cellphone. She grabbed her pink flip phone and read her message. It was from…
Hey!
'Sasuke…"
Yeah; she replied
Nothing nothing. Long time no txt
HAha very funny
What are you doing?
Nothing. Just laying here in my bed. Hey Sasuke…
Hm?
About last night?
What about it? Don't worry its true.
Sakura blushed at this. They continued their conversation throughout the day. At lunchtime the doorbell rang…
When Sakura and Sasuke got to the foyer, their friends were already there. Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Hyuuga Neji, Hinata's cousin with long raven hair in a low ponytail, Nara Shikamaru, the lazy genius whose hair is in a ponytail that makes his head looks like a pineapple and Uzumaki Naruto, the hyper best friend of Sasuke with spiky blonde hair and bright blue eyes.
"Hey Sak! Well, what's going on? We all met up out your door." Tenten asked.
"Well our parents are on a business trip with Itachi and Sasuke was ordered to stay here. To top it all off he has a sleepover tiday too." Sakura explained.
"Ohhh…" the girls including Naruto exclaimed.
"So how about lunch guys?"
"SURE THING SAKURA-CHAN!"
She led them to the dining room where the table was set. They had a wonderful lunch of pasta and a cheese pizza excluding Naruto who, as usual, had ramen. They also had chocolate cake for dessert.
"This i-is g-good Sa-Saku-chan!" Hinata complimented the cake.
"Another one of your creations, am I right forehead?" Ino asked.
"Sure is Ino-pig."
"You made this Sakura-chan?" Naruto said.
"You sure outdid yourself this time Sak." Tenten added.
The other three remained quiet though in their minds they were showering the cake with compliments.
They left the kitchen as it is and proceeded upstairs. The girls and the guys separated at two doors.
When they opened their respective doors, a warm and cozy room welcomed them. There were mattresses scattered around the room leaving a space in the middle like a dance floor. There were tons of pillows and CDs. There was also a stereo. The guys' room was gray with blue pillows in different shades. The girls' room was pink with red and white pillows. They began arranging all their stuff. When they finished it was 3:00 p.m.
"Hey guys, wanna' watch a movie or something?" Sakura asked out of boredom.
"Sure. Ask the guys if they want to join us." Ino suggested.
Sakura went out of the room and knocked on the door of the room next to theirs. She then opened the door. She saw the guys sprawled out on the floor playing video games.
"Uh guys… well, do you want to, um, I don't know, watch a movie with us?"
"Hn."
"Hn."
"Troublesome."
"YOU BET!"
Sakura sweatdropped at this. "Uh…okay… we'll be downstairs."
The girls proceeded to the kitchen to prepare some popcorn. They decided to watch a Child's Play movie marathon. When they entered the living room, the guys were already there.
"Let's get this movie started!" Ino exclaimed.
Sakura plugged the DVD player and put their tv in video mode. She then popped the DVD in and pressed play. Unconsciously they sat in this order on the sofa; beginning on the left was Naruto, then Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, Neji, Tenten, Sakura and finally Sasuke.
After a few hours they all went to the kitchen to have some more of Sakura's cake. Sasuke, Neji and Shikamaru were amazed. The girls, although were startled at some scenes, seemed really fine during the movie unlike Naruto who screamed like a girl the whole time. All of tehm decided to skip dinner for they were too full from Sakura's cake. They went back to their rooms.
With the girls
"I'm bored." Ino complained.
"You're not thwe only one," Tenten said.
"It's too early to sleep. It's just 9 pm." Sakura added.
"I think I'll go to the kitchen you guys." Hinata exclaimed.
"Okay. I'm going stargazing!" Ino excitedly answered.
"I'm going to take a walk in the garden."
"Sure thing Tenten. I'm going to my baking studio to experiment on a new recipe. See you later!"
Sakura and the girls then went out the door and made their way to their destinations.
With the guys
"I'M SOOOOOOO BOOOOOOORED!"
"Shut up dobe."
"Why you…"
"Troublesome. Why don't you find something to do Naruto."
"I'm going to catch some fresh air." Neji said.
Since they've known each other for some time now and Sakura always holds parties they know the way around her house… ermmm mansion like the back of their hand.
"I'm going to the rooftop." Shikamaru added.
"Well then, I'm going to the kitchen to get me some ramen."
"Hn."
"SEE YOU LATER THEN!"
The three got up and walked out the door. Sasuke on the other hand grabbed his cellphone and texted a certain someone.
With Sakura
A soft sad tune was heard by the aspiring young pastry chef. (A.N.: It is the song Sadness and Sorrow Piano version from Naruto) She went over to her phone and noticed that she had received a message. It was from Sasuke.
Hey. What'cha doing?
I'm in my baking studio experimenting on a new recipe.
Ohhh…
What about you.
Nothing…
Sakura then heard a soft click.
"You know, this picture's pretty good."
"S-Sasuke, you scared the hell out of me."
"Hn."
"Hey! What are you doing here anyway?"
"Bored."
"Where are the others?"
"The dobe is in the kitchen, Shikamaru's in the rooftop and Neji's in the garden."
"OH MY GOD!"
"What?"
"The girls are in those places too."
The two suddenly has mischievous glints in their eyes.
"Hey Sasuke are you and your camera up for some snooping?"
"Hn."
Sasuke and Sakura both headed out the door and made their way to the kitchen first.
In the kitchen…
Hinata was on a tall bar stool rummaging through a high shelf where the pots and pans were located. She was already tip toeing to reach the shelf. When she found the pot she was looking for, she tried to reach for it. She managed to grab it but it caused her to lose her balance. She closed her eyes waiting to hit the ground. She heard a loud crash but instead of feeling the cold marble floor, she felt two arms under her. She slowly opened her eyes and then blushed a deep shade of red.
"N-Naru-Naruto- kun…"
CLICK
"Are you okay Hinata?"
Hinata could only nod in embarrassment. Naruto gently put her down. Hinata grabbed the pot on the floor and turned to Naruto.
"Would you like some ramen Naruto-kun?"
"Sure… Hinata-chan…"
In the rooftop…
Ino was laying comfortably on a blanket while staring at the star- filled sky.
"Mind if I join you…troublesome."
Ino raised her head to look at the person who just talked. She then nodded. She moved over so that Shikamaru could lay down next to her. They both looked and admired the heavens above. Minutes later Shikamaru felt something heavy on his right shoulder. He looked that way and saw that Ino had fallen asleep using his shoulder as a pillow.
"Trublesome…"
He too then closed his eyes sleeping under the starry sky.
CLICK
In the garden…
Tenten was walking on the path. She was enjoying her time. She then felt somebody behind her. Out of pure instinct she turned around and punched the person behind her on the head REALLY hard. She gasped when she realized it was Neji. She hauled him to a nearby bench with some difficulty considering that Neji was bigger than her. She then sat down and put Neji's head on her lap. After a few minutes she noticed that Neji had opened his eyes.
"Geez you pack one hell of a punch Tenten."
"Hey it's not my fault you scared me…"
"Hn."
"Listen I'm sorry Neji."
"Apology accepted." He then shut his eyes and went to sleep with his head on Tenten's lap and all.
CLICK
Back in the house in the living room…
"Well that was fun wasn't it?"
"Hn."
Sakura's head then dropped to Sasuke's shoulder. He looked at her and noticed that she had fallen asleep from exhaustion. He brushed a strand of her pink hair away from her face and rested his head on hers.
