Chapter 7
Make Your Move
Sasuke awoke as soon as the sun hit his eyes. He jolted upright from his bed, on the floor, as if he was having a nightmare. All signs of fear vanished from his eyes as soon as he heard the soft chirping of birds fill the room. He looked around to where he was, it looked somewhat different. Then he remembered that he had slept on the floor that night. He looked up towards the bed and noticed pink hair spill to the sides. Sakura. He smirked a bit as his hand flew to his lips. She had kissed him...for real. Brushing his hair around with his fingers, he slowly got up and looked over to the pink-haired girl. She was sleeping soundly. Sasuke walked over to her and sat beside her on the bed.
"Sasuke..." she mumbled in her sleep.
Sasuke jumped a bit at the sound of his name.
"Leave me alone Lee." she mumbled a bit louder.
Sasuke smirked and looked at her lips which seemed to be pursed. He got close to her and whispered to her face. "What do you want me to do Sakura?" He figured that if he talked to her, she might answer in her sleep, as if he was asking in the dream.
"Prove that Lee has no chance with me.." she mumbled, smirking a bit.
"How should I do that Sakura?" he asked smirking.
"I don't know. Anything." she mumbled back.
"Tell me what I should do."
She paused for a second and then grinned in her sleep. "Kiss me."
Sasuke flinched a bit and then smirked after thinking of something good to reply. "Lee will leave you alone right?" he glanced at the clock which read 6:24 am.
"Yeah. He should."
Sasuke got a bit closer to Sakura's lips and gently pushed his lips against hers and closed his eyes. She made no movement. Her lips felt soft just like how they seemed. After a few seconds, he pulled off her slowly and waited for a sudden reaction or a scream.
What am I doing? he asked himself in disbelief.
He got off his bed and looked at himself in the mirror. Total mess.
"Thankyou.." Sakura mumbled, still in her sleep.
Sasuke turned to her and watched her lips form a small smile as she snuggled deeper into the covers.
"You're welcome Sa-ku-ra." he whispered as he walked out of the room to the bathroom smirking to himself.
-------------------------------
"Sakura get up." Sasuke demanded when he came back from the washroom. He had changed and was now ready for school.
"Later Dad! It's Saturday." she groaned in annoyance.
"Sakura.." Sasuke went over to her and yanked off the covers. "This is SASUKE. Get up!"
"Sasuke? Dad, when did you become Sasuke?" she yawned and then after she realized what was happening, she jolted upright on his bed.
Sasuke rolled his eyes as he checked his hair in the mirror. "Good morning."
"Morning Sasuke." she smiled at him and then looked at the clock. 7:30 am. "Oh my god! School!" she shot out of bed and tripped on the baggyness of Sasuke's pants.
Sasuke rolled his eyes again and watched her get up.
"CLOTHES!" she shrieked. "What the hell do I wear?" she started panicking.
"Relax, just wear what you wore yesterday." Sasuke grunted.
"ARE YOU INSANE?" she yelled. "Girls DON'T do that! I DON'T DO THAT!"
Sasuke gave her an awkward look and then started searching through his closet. "I don't think I have anything."
"I'M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL LIKE THIS!" she was practically screaming now.
"What's all the commotion about!" Itachi appeared at Sasuke's door looking really tired.
"She's freaking about clothes." he sighed.
"Oh, nothing to wear Sakura? Just stay home today." he smirked at her and then looked at Sasuke. "Drop her home bro."
"My parents are coming home LATER!" she yelled in exasperation.
"Okay, then you can stay with me today!" Itachi grinned widely as Sakura gave Sasuke an awkward look.
"Itachi..." Sasuke started. "Don't do anything stupid while i'm gone."
"Huh? Can't you stay home for today Sasuke?" Sakura asked a bit worried.
"I have a math test today, so I can't. Sorry. Itachi isn't that bad, don't worry." Sasuke smirked at Sakura who looked petrified.
"O-okay.." she stuttered. "H-have fun at school!" she smiled at him and then looked at Itachi who seemed to be planning something in his head.
"Yeah, you're lucky i'm off of work today!" he smiled hugely and then left the room. He tromped down the stairs, leaving Sasuke and Sakura in silence.
"So, you dream about me eh?" Sasuke asked, as he packed his school bag, breaking the long silence.
"Huh?" Sakura asked still in shock that she was going to stay home with a total stranger.
"You dream about me." he looked up at her.
"What? No I don't!" Sakura glanced down at her bracelet.
"So then why were you saying my name this morning? Something about Lee." he smirked and hoisted his bag over his shoulder.
Sakura turned a deep shade of red.
"Sasuke, Sakura! I'M MAKING WAFFLES!" Itachi shouted from the kitchen.
"Coming!" Sasuke yelled back. He glanced at Sakura who still seemed embarrased and smirked. "It's okay Sakura, I dream about you too." he said mockingly.
Before she could say anything, he left the room and trotted down the stairs. She rolled her eyes while smiling and walked over to the washroom.
You too, eh?
---------------------------------------
"It's about TIME you came downstairs!" Itachi grinned as Sakura walked down the stairs into the kitchen. She hadn't changed out of Sasuke's clothes but she looked refreshed.
"Sorry about that." she smiled slightly and sat down on the kitchen table with him.
"Sasuke left for school." Itachi mumbled munching his waffle. He passed her a plate as he chewed and she happily started eating. After a few minutes, Itachi looked up at her. "You really like Sasuke?" he asked.
"What? No." Sakura said uncertainly.
"Oh come on, he can't be that bad." Itachi looked over to the clock. 8:30 am.
"I never said he was bad." she smirked to herself.
Itachi gasped. "I saw that! You smirked! You LIKE him!" he smirked widely as he chewed down the last piece of his waffle.
"Uh.." Sakura rolled her eyes and finished off her waffle also. "Thanks for breakfast." she said as she helped herself to a glass of orange juice.
"No problem." he smirked a bit and then walked over to the sink. "So what has he done so far?"
"What?" Sakura asked, choking a bit on her juice.
"What has he done? Like he must've had made a few hints." he smirked as he scrubbed his plate. "You know, the famous hand squeeze...or the pushing back of the hair."
"Huh?" Sakura asked in confusion.
Itachi turned off the sink and walked over to Sakura, who was now standing. Pushing her up to the kitchen wall, he grabbed her hand and squeezed it. Sakura gasped at the pain and looked up at Itachi petrified. Suddenly, Itachi pulled her hand towards himself and came close to her face. Squeezing her hand a bit tighter he got close to her lips and smirked a bit. "Sakura.." he whispered. "That's a hand squeeze!" he smiled widely and let go of her hand. Still in shock, Sakura stood there as Itachi went back to the sink and turned the tap on.
"Pretty sexy, isn't it? Sasuke hasn't used that on you yet?" Itachi asked again.
"Um.." Sakura paused and thought for a moment.
Flashback
Before she could do anything else he took a tight grasp around her hand. She gasped. Sasuke had such a tight grip on her hand that she couldn't even move the rest of her body. He pulled her hand towards himself and her body pushed up against his. Sakura could feel his breath again, this time, however, he felt much closer.
He smirked and whispered, "That sigh you heard, was a yawn. There was no need to go crazy." He squeezed her hand a bit tighter. Sakura gasped and he smirked again. "Also," he got a bit closer to her lips. Sakura's mouth went dry. "If you're wondering if i'd do the scavenger hunt with you," There was a quick pause. "I'd be happy to."
End of Flashback
"Wait a sec, he has used that on me. But how would you know?" Sakura, who seemed quite interested, sat on a chair and waited for Itachi's answer.
"Easy," he stated. "I taught him everything he knows!" Itachi whipped around and started waltzing with air. "I'm too good with the ladies." Winking at Sakura, he stopped waltzing and went back to the dishes. "Too bad for you though, I have a girlfriend."
Sakura rolled her eyes again and glanced up the stairs. "Hey, Itachi, do you think I could take a shower?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Do you have my clothes? Are they dry?"
"DAMMIT! I knew I forgot to do something! Sorry about that, let me see if I can help." Itachi walked over to Sakura and told her to get up. Once she did, he looked her up and down and then nodded his head. He ran upstairs and after a few minutes, came back down with some feminine looking clothes. "Don't ask how they got there but they're my girlfriends'. She's about your height, maybe a little taller. They should fit you." he handed her the outfit and told her to enjoy her shower. Sakura thanked him and trotted up the stairs.
-------------------------
Sakura looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was tied up and she was wearing a magenta tube top and a denim mini skirt. She was in the bathroom for an extra long time today.
This mini skirt is a bit too short. Who the hell is Itachi dating?
She smiled to herself and stepped out of the bathroom. She skipped down the stairs and sat beside Itachi in the livingroom. He was tightly grasping a box of cookies and seemed very interested in the show he was watching.
"Itachi?" Sakura looked at him curiously.
"Yeah?" he asked, not taking his eyes of the television.
"Do...," she paused for a second. "Do you think Sasuke likes me?"
Itachi smirked widely and switched off the television. He turned facing her and rested his head on the back of the sofa. "Well, I don't know..do you like him?" He quickly glanced at the clock. 11:23 am.
Sakura paused. Do I like him? she thought. Can I trust this guy? "I don't know." she replied.
"Oh, well if you don't know...then how can I help you?" he looked at her inquisitively and then grabbed his box of cookies again. "It seems as if you guys like eachother, actually." He offered her the cookies, but when she rejected them, he shrugged and continued. "Especially with yesterday and all. I mean you guys were on top of eachother." he smirked as Sakura blushed wildly.
"I'm not sure..." her voice trailed.
"I KNEW IT!" he shot up and his cookies spilled on the floor. "NO!" he scrambled to the floor and started picking up the cookies one by one. "You should tell him." he said as he blew off a piece of dust from one cookie.
"What?" she asked startled. "I didn't say anything and even if I did, he doesn't like me!"
"I bet he does. I've never seen him on top of a girl before." he smirked widely and then sat back on the couch with his cookies.
"Do you have to keep bringing that up?" Sakura glared at Sasuke's brother.
"Yes. I do. Trust me, he likes you."
---------------------
You can do this Hinata. Just go over to Naruto, sit beside him, open your lunch bag and start eating. Simple as pie. Pie is pretty simple..I mean, 3.14 is pretty easy. I like that saying maybe i'll say it one day. Wait, what if they think i'm a total math nerd then? What if Naruto hates me. Screw the saying, just go and sit with him.
Hinata shook off her nerves and approached the table where her friends were sitting.
GO HINATA! SIT WITH HIM NOW! she thought.
As she got closer, Naruto's head shot up by instinct. He turned to Hinata and their eyes locked for a second. Quickly, Hinata turned away and blushed a deep red.
Why'd he look at me?
She suddenly got extremely nervous and sat beside Ino at the table instead of Naruto.
Nice going you shy-ass.
"Hey Hinata!" Ino smiled as Naruto went back to eating his ramen.
Say something nice Naruto. Not stupid. Naruto thought as he chewed his ramen.
"Hinata, I like your lunch bag." he smiled and then quickly went back to his food.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT YOU IDIOT! YOU LIKE HER LUNCH BAG? Naruto sighed deeply and glanced up at Hinata who was blushing a deep red.
Naruto smiled again as her eyes met his and she smiled back uncertainly.
Just tell her you like her. Why can't you do it? It's so easy. Just go over to her when she's alone and say.."I like you Hinata. Will you be my girlfriend?" Two goddamn sentences...not that hard you loser. Wait a sec, 'I like you Hinata, will you be my girlfriend?' THAT SOUNDS SO LAME! I CAN'T SAY THAT! WHAT THE HELL! No. Shut up you freak. Just DO IT! Okay, I will do it today. You can do it Naruto. Be a MAN!
--------------------
"Who is it?" Itachi called from the living room when he heard the doorbell ring. Sakura was upstairs in Sasuke's room playing on the computer.
"Dude." came a reply from the door.
"Oh." Itachi smiled and opened the door. Standing at the door was a tall boy wearing dark sunglasses. "Hey Shino."
Shino nodded his head and stepped inside the house. Itachi shut the door and turned to Shino. "What's up?" he asked.
"Got. Bored." he stated each word slowly, as if they were their own sentence.
"Cool, I want you to meet someone. Hang on." Quickly, Itachi ran over to the stairs and called to Sakura. She replied saying she'd be down in a minute.
"New girlfriend?" Shino asked cooly.
"No. You'll see." Itachi smirked as Sakura came trotting down the stairs. "Shino!" he yelled. "MEET SAKURA!"
"Yeah, and?" Shino replied. Sakura smiled uneasily.
"THIS IS SASUKE'S GIRLFRIEND!" Itachi announced proudly.
Shino stood there for a second and then started chuckling. Quickly, he coughed to cover up the laugh and held out his hand to Sakura. She shook it and then glared at Itachi. "I'm NOT his girlfriend. We're just friends."
"They were on top of eachother yesterday." Itachi smirked, ignoring Sakura.
"He's getting it from you." Shino said in monotone.
"Haha, I guess." Itachi laughed and then turned to Sakura. "Sakura, meet my best friend Shino!"
"Nice to meet you. I'm NOT his GIRLFRIEND." she yelled, turning back to Itachi.
"It's okay. We know you like him." Itachi replied. Shino nodded his head in agreement.
"I don't like him!" she yelled.
"Then why are you getting all upset?" Shino asked before walking into the kitchen to help himself to some food. "I need some pop."
"Yeah, pop will get you to your normal self. You seem wierd right now." Itachi said, following him to the kitchen.
Sakura fumed and then stomped up the stairs.
----------------------
Okay, you can DO this Naruto! Just go over there. She's standing all alone.
Naruto took in a deep breath and walked over to Hinata, who was standing by herself near the door to her next class.
"Hey Hinata.." his voice trailed as she turned around. She gasped slightly when she saw him. "Oh, sorry.."
"What? Oh, don't w-w-w-worry...Yo-you di-didn't s-s-s-scare me." she sounded extremely nervous when she set her eyes on him.
"Hinata...I..." his voice trailed again as he thought of something smart to say.
Hinata stood there turning different shades from purple then to red again.
"I..." Naruto started.
Suddenly the bell rang. Hinata jumped a bit at the sound of the bell as students from classes were making their way to their next class. She smiled at Naruto and then turned around to go to her class.
DO SOMETHING! Naruto thought to himself as he saw her heading towards the classroom.
Suddenly, Hinata felt a hand grasp hers. She gasped slightly and then turned around to face a determined looking Naruto.
"N-naruto?" she asked a bit frightened at the boy. He had never done anything like this before.
"Please, Hinata. I need to talk to you. Please don't leave." he sounded quiet. Hinata nodded her head in agreement, it's not like she was going to miss much in ceramics class anyways. "Are you okay with missing a bit of your next class?" he looked at her slightly and then glanced at the floor.
"Y-yes." she stated slowly as Naruto let go of her hand.
"Hinata..." his voice trailed again and Hinata could see the soft tint in Narutos' cheeks. "I have to tell you now. I don't think I could keep it inside any longer." He looked at her again and when their eyes met his eyes became soft. Hinata glanced at the floor in embarrassment. Naruto shuffled his feet around trying to think of the right thing to say.
Say you like her. No..say you love her. NO too soon. What the hell?
"N-naruto?" Hinata asked a bit worried. He seemed extremely nervous. "A-are y-you o-o-okay?" she stuttered.
"Actually, this is really hard." he smirked, still looking at the floor. "To think I thought this would be easy.."
Good start Naruto, keep at it. He thought to himself.
"Wh-what's hard?" Hinata asked a bit confused. She thought she knew what was going to happen but she wanted to hear it with her own ears.
Expressing my feelings...NO too gay. Telling you I love you...EW RETARDED. I know! Confessing my love for you...Perfect. Now just say it you ass. he thought.
"Confessing my-"
Suddenly a screech was heard from the other end of the hallway. Hinata took her eyes off Naruto and focused on a small girl with dark purple hair. She ran over to Hinata and gave her a tight squeeze.
"YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!" she yelled at Hinata.
Hinata, who was completely taken aback, smiled slightly and then looked at Naruto who looked a bit angered.
"What?" she asked her friend.
"HE ASKED ME OUT! HE TOLD ME HE LOVED ME!" she squealed.
"Amazing.." Hinata smiled, still a bit annoyed that her conversation with Naruto was ruined.
"I HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT IN CERAMICS! What are you doing here anyways? Who cares..LETS GO!" Dragging Hinata by the arm, the two of them quickly strolled away from Naruto. Hinata gave one last glance of sorry and then followed her friend to class.
"Dammit." Naruto hissed. "Why me? That was going great. FRIGGIN GIRL!" he yelled out the last sentence angrily. Quickly, he glanced around to see if anyone was aware of what happened. Luckily no one.
Now what will happen? he thought to himself as he walked to his next class; history.
-----------------------------
"Shino...don't you think you've had enough pop?" Itachi asked as Shino threw his fifth can into the garbage can. Shino burped loudly and then grinned at his friend. He glanced at the clock; 2:45 pm.
"Yeah!" he yelled.
"Okay good, cause I only had one can left." Itachi smiled at his friend as Shino grabbed the remote. He flipped on the TV and turned to the sports channel.
"Wow! So, who IS this chick?" Shino asked. He seemed a bit hyper.
"Who, Sakura?"
"Yeah. Who IS she? She's pretty hot." He tapped his stomach and lurched out another treacherous burp.
"I think she likes Sasuke, but she won't confess." Itachi sighed. "I wish she would just tell me. It would make life so much easier."
"It's CAUSE you're his brother. She feels insecure. Hang on, I have an idea." Shino smirked a bit and Itachi understood immediatly.
"I understand." Itachi smiled and called for Sakura. She came trotting down the stairs and sat herself in the armchair in the livingroom. "What's up guys?"
Shino stood up slowly and walked towards Sakura. She looked at him uneasily and then glanced at Itachi who was smirking wildly. "Tell us." he stated.
"What?" she asked uncertainly.
"Tell us you like Sasuke!" he was yelling a bit now.
"What the hell?" Sakura gawked.
"Come on, just tell us. We won't tell."
"I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING!" she seemed a bit angry.
"If you don't tell us...we might have to use the force." Shino stated slowly. Itachi got up and suddenly started echoeing 'the force' as if it was some action movie.
"Uh..." Sakura stated a bit wierded out. "You guys are wierd. I'm not telling you anything."
"Okay, you've done it. Time to use the force." Shino straightened up and then turned his back towards Sakura. He paused for a second and then turned back around and dived at Sakura. He tickled her right at the stomach. She suddenly burst out laughing, caught off guard.
"Stop!" she wailed in between bursts of laughter.
"Tell us!" Shino yelled.
"NO!" she was dieing, but she wasn't telling anything to these losers. Suddenly, Itachi dived in too and both Shino and Itachi were tickling her. She was laughing so much that it started to hurt.
Shino got away and started laughing himself on the couch because Sakura was now turning a deep shade of purple. Itachi continued, however. "TELL US!" he yelled at her.
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" she squealed. She tryed to manoever her way out and accidentally fell to the ground. She was laughing too hard to even notice the pain. Itachi knelt down and hovered over her. He continued tickling her and was whispering that she should tell them.
She continued laughing as Shino watched the pair. "KEEP GOING ITACHI!" he yelled. "DON'T STOP!"
Suddenly, a slam was heard at the door of the livingroom. Shino, Itachi and Sakura stopped suddenly. It was Sasuke. Itachi was still hovering over Sakura and Sakura was giggling a bit. Sasuke rolled his eyes and then picked up his bag from the floor.
"I guess you guys didn't notice me come in." he sounded cold. "Having too much fun brother?" Sasuke's voice was sarcastic and Sakura could tell that he was angry. Suddenly, she realized that Itachi was hovering over her and it could've looked like they had been fooling around. She suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke, it's not what you think." she stated slowly.
"It's not like I care if you fool around with my brother. It's your life." With that said, he turned his back towards them and ran up the stairs. Sakura heard his bedroom door slam as Itachi got off her.
"Look what you did man!" Shino wailed. "Now he thinks you're going out with her!"
"Fuck.." Itachi muttered. Sakura sighed deeply. "Let me go talk to him." she stated. The boys nodded and she slowly walked up the stairs towards his bedroom.
Sakura opened the door to his bedroom. Sasuke was reading a novel on the foot of his bed. She went over to him and sat beside him. Ignoring her completely, he flipped a page of his novel.
"Sasuke..."
"Shut up. I'm working." he snapped.
"You're angry over nothing." she said looking at her socks.
"I'm NOT angry."
"Yes YOU ARE!" she yelled at him. She grabbed his novel and snapped it shut. He glared at her and their eyes met. "Why are you SO ANGRY?" she yelled.
"WHY WOULDN'T I BE?" he yelled back.
"So you ARE angry then!" she rolled her eyes and then looked at him again. "It's NOT what you think! He wanted me to confess something."
"Yeah? What was it then?" Sasuke said in disbelief.
"Why would I tell you?"
"EXACTLY! You're lieing to me now. Great. Give me my fucking book."
"I don't have to tell you EVERYTHING!"
"NO! YOU JUST HAVE NOTHING TO SAY!"
"I DO HAVE SOMETHING!"
"THEN TELL ME!" he seemed extremely pissed now. Sakura fumed for a bit and then replied finally.
"HE TOLD ME TO CONFESS THAT I LIKED YOU! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? THEY WERE TICKLING ME SASUKE! HE WASN'T TOUCHING ME! Here's your fucking book!" she threw the book into his lap and then went over to her backpack. Sasuke reopened his novel and then started scanning the pages. He closed it again and then sighed deeply. Rolling his eyes, he walked over to Sakura and then whipped her arm around. Their eyes locked again.
"I hope you're not lieing." his voice was a bit quieter now.
"WHY WOULD I LIE!" she yelled at him. Sasuke's eyes became soft. There was a long silence.
"What did you say?" he asked looking down at the floor.
"What?" she asked still a bit angry.
"What did you say?" Sasuke looked her in the eye this time.
"I didn't say anything." she said harshly.
"Well, what would you have said then?" Sasuke let go of her arm and then stared at her deeply. Sakura gasped a bit and then stared back.
"I would've said...I would've said that I did." she replied slowly.
Sasuke sighed and then looked at Sakura. "...That's what I would've said too." Sakura looked up at him. She turned a light shade of pink and then walked over to the foot of the bed. She sat on it and started fiddling with Sasuke's novel. He smirked and sat at the bed also.
"I'm sorry.." his voice trailed as their eyes met eachother again.
"Me too." she smiled slightly.
Sasuke grinned and then slowly leaned in towards Sakura. She shut her eyes and leaned in also. Their lips touched eachother slightly and they parted. Sakura smiled a bit embarrassed and pushed a piece of her hair behind her ear. Sasuke smirked and cupped her chin.
"Who said I was finished..." he whispered as he got closer to her.
He caressed her face with his free hand and then brought her lips to his yet again. After a few seconds, he started to deepen the kiss by pushing against her lips harder. Sakura gasped when she felt a sharp pain on her lower lip asking for entrance. She accepted and his tongue slipped into her mouth.
-------------------------------
"What the fuck is taking them so long?" Shino asked annoyed. Once Sakura had left, they had sat in silence waiting for her to come back saying it was alright. It had been far too long.
"Do you think he killed her?" Itachi asked wide-eyed.
"What the hell Itachi?"
"You never know. Sasuke scares me sometimes!"
"Right..." Shino slumped back into the couch and flipped on the television. Itachi grabbed his box of cookies.
"Hey Oprah's on." Shino put down the remote.
"Cool. What's it about today?" Itachi asked trying to be interested when in reality he wanted to know what was going on in Sasuke's bedroom.
"Plastic surgery."
"Nice." Itachi turned around and glanced at the stairway. No Sakura.
"Should we watch it?"
"Sure..."
Ten Seconds Later
"So...what do you think they're doing." Itachi asked trying to act as if he didn't care what was going on.
"I don't know." Shino turned his head to Itachi curiously.
"Whatever. Who cares right?" Itachi shifted around in his seat.
"Yeah. Oprah and surgery is more interesting...right?"
"Yeah..."
Five Seconds Later
"Itachi..." Shino asked.
"Yeah?" Itachi was now glancing, every 2 seconds back, at the stairs.
There was a quick pause and suddenly a loud thump was heard from the bedroom. Itachi and Shino both whipped around at the noise.
Leave them alone Itachi. Sasuke wouldn't kill an innocent girl...would he? He thought to himself.
"Maybe..it was the...tv." Shino responded trying to stay involved with the show. Both Itachi and Shino stared deep into the television screen trying to absorb what was going on.
The effects of plastic surgery can be either good or bad. Today we have examples of both...
"Okay, i'm leaving! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! ARE YOU COMING WITH ME?" Itachi stood up and straightened himself out.
"Itachi! Pull yourself together man! Be cool, be cool." Shino slumped back into the couch.
"Right cool." Itachi took a deep breath and then sat down beside Shino. Suddenly, his eye started twitching wildly.
"Itachi?" Shino asked a bit worried.
"I'm cool...i'm cool." Itachi smiled crookedly and stared into the tv.
Hello there Cassandra, you look amazing by the way.
"Do you think...Sasuke would hurt her?" Shino asked after a while.
"Why would he do that?" Itachi said nervously.
"I don't know...I just thought...and that thump..."
"DO YOU THINK SO?" Itachi was now hyperventalating.
Slowly, both faced eachother and then stared at eachother for a long time.
"Let's go!" They both yelled in unison.
"Okay, YOU GRAB THE BASEBALL BAT and i'll grab the phone!" Itachi was scrambling everywhere trying to find a phone. After pulling away a few pillows, he found it. Shino and Itachi pulled up their jeans and together started walking up the stairs.
"WAIT!" Shino yelled in whisper. "Code names dude."
"Right, right, right." Itachi shoved a finger to his lips as if he was shushing himself. "Codenames. Okay, i'll be cookie monster."
"Call me pepsi." Shino said cooly. Giving eachother the nod of approval, they both walked cautiously up the stairs.
"You better not be hurting her Sasuke.." Itachi mumbled under his breath.
---------------------------
"I can't believe I fell." Sakura sighed slightly and then started laughing.
"Was I too much to handle?" Sasuke whispered in her ear.
"Maybe." she grinned and then helped herself up. Soon after, she sat on the foot of the bed again. "You never help me up."
"There's no need to." Sasuke grinned and then entwined his fingers through hers. He leaned in slightly and kissed her forehead. Sakura smiled at him and then pecked him on the lips.
"What are we doing?" Sakura asked a bit embarrassed.
"I guess, we're just acting like Shikamaru and Ino." Sasuke answered looking out his bedroom window.
"We're a couple now?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Only if you want." Sasuke leaned in again and kissed her lips. She pulled off him embarrassed and he smirked. "Is that what you want?"
"That's all i've wanted..." she smirked slightly and then kissed his cheek. He grinned and started kissing her jawline. Sakura cringed at the feeling and Sasuke pulled off immediatly. "I'm sorry." he mumbled.
Sakura blushed and then looked at her shoes. "I never said anything Sa-su-ke." she smirked and looked up at him. Sasuke grinned and leaned in to kiss her again.
"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Shino yelled at the door. He was grasping the end of the baseball bat and had a very fierce look on his face.
"DON'T WORRY SAKURA! WE'LL MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T HURT YOU!" Itachi yelled running through the door tackling his brother to the floor.
"What the hell Itachi?" Sasuke asked bewildered. Sakura stood there wide-eyed as she watched the brothers wrestle on the floor.
"Itachi...Itachi...relax man. You're gonna hurt him. Dude..." Shino put the bat down and then went and sat with Sakura on the bed as he watched the pair fight.
"GET OFF ME ITACHI!"
"DID YOU HURT SAKURA?" Itachi yelled as he kept Sasuke in a headlock.
"What the hell? No!" Sasuke tried to get out of the headlock but with no prevail.
"Yeah? Then what was happening up here! I HEARD A THUMP AND NOT JUST ANY THUMP...A PAINFUL THUMP!" Itachi was screaming at the top of his lungs now. He turned to Sakura who was now turning a deep shade of magenta.
"Wait a sec...I know that look anywhere. Itachi do you know this look?" Shino asked Itachi as he stared at Sakura's expression.
"No..fill me in?" Itachi asked.
"Okay, do you remember Mailyn? That chick you went out with for a few hours?" Shino asked.
"Oh, do you mean the chick that kept singing Sexy Back every time something was happening? Yeah, I remember her. Damn, she was wild." Itachi responded still keeping his brother in a headlock.
"Yeah, well do you remember Vilain, Mailyn's bestfriend?"
"Yeah."
"Okay well, her best friend's best friend...do you remember her?"
"Wait a sec, okay so Mailyn and then Vilain and then her best friend which was Freya and then her bestfriend which was Kilane. Right. Kilane, what about her?"
"Okay, do you remember Kai? Do you remember how Kilane was staring at him at Mailyn's party?" Shino asked while Sakura gave a long sigh to Sasuke, who was still struggling under his brothers' arm.
"YEAH! It's like SAKURA! Wait, why was she staring at him like that though?"
"Because they..." Shino smirked.
"THEY MADE-OUT! YEAH THAT WAS SO FUNNY! Haha, Vilain was so jealous because she liked Kai and Kilane was all magenta looking."
"Just like Sakura!"
"Right."
"So what does this mean dude?" Shino grinned again as Sakura turned a deep red.
"It means..that Kilane made out with Kai?" Itachi smirked to himself.
"No man! It means that Sakura and Sasuke..."
"Oh my god."
"Yeah man."
"Wait...what?"
"Dude..."
"Oh!" Itachi gasped.
Itachi grinned widly and then gave his brother a quick noogie. Sasuke grunted in pain before he let go. Itachi walked over to Sakura and patted her on the back. "I hope...he wasn't too violent." He winked at her and then looked at Shino.
"Shino! We should have brought the Kodak! So are you guys dating now?"
Sakura smirked as Sasuke sat beside her, closer than normal.
"Wow and to think we thought you were going to kill her." Itachi looked at Shino and then gave him a nod of approval.
"We'll leave you two lovebirds alone now. Bye!" Shino smirked and then turned to Itachi. "Dude, give me your last can of pop. I'm thirsty."
"Okay dude. Ciao guys!" Itachi waved at them and then left the room, closing the door behind him.
"That was...wierd." Sakura sighed as Sasuke held her hand.
"Itachi is wierd, but you get used to him. The big idiot." he mumbled to himself and then looked at Sakura. "Sorry about that. I can't believe they thought i'd hurt you."
"I know you wouldn't." Sakura smirked and then pecked him on the lips. "I should probably get home."
"Yeah, i'll drop you home."
---------------------
"Okay, so i'll see you later then?" Sasuke leaned back into his seat.
"Yeah..." Sakura smiled and then quickly kissed Sasuke on the cheek. She opened the door and started to get out when Sasuke grabbed her arm. She whipped around and faced him. Sasuke leaned in close and whispered in her ear.
"Thanks." he paused. "For everything." Sakura smiled to herself and then quickly exited the car. She shut it without looking back and happily walked to her door.
I don't think Itachi taught you those skills... she thought as she rang the doorbell.
