Okay people! Be scared…be very scared!
Warning! People with horrid fears of neon colors should not read this chapter! Or just skip over the chapter until you see some more bold lines, then it should be safe!
I wanted to thank The bunny always dies first for reviewing and saying how I posted the same chapter twice. Sorry to anyone that read my double chapter, but HERE is the correct one!!!
Disclaimer: -insert some random I don't own Naruto saying here-
Hehe REMEMBER THE WARNING!!
"Oh."
"My."
"GOSH!"
"Ino, what the hell is that thing?!" Sakura screamed, shielding her eyes away from the apparent glowing piece of fabric. The thing that Ino was clutching was a bright, bright orange, green, yellow, pink, and blue neon colored mini dress that could barely go past her butt. It could make a person blind, which is what exactly happened next.
A poor, innocent male bystander was walking past the store the group was in. He just happened to look at the glaring light coming from the said place, and his eyes went wide with shock. He grabbed his face, hoping to shield away to horrid glowing. But when his hands were once again at his side, all he could see was white.
"MY EYES! MY POOR EYES!!" he screamed, while running in circles. All the group could do was watch in horror, and yet, in fascination. They all gasped when they saw him fall over the side of a balcony, which led to the first floor. They all ran over and looked down, to see a man lying on top of a slushie machine, face down, and moaning. Neji quickly called for an ambulance. Ten minutes later, the entire group, except for Ino, who said that she had to go to the bathroom, was watching the poor man getting loaded into the ambulance outside of the mall.
Okay for all the people that were afraid to read the brightness it's all over, so it's okay to read again! Okay, well the bystander that saw the thing Ino was holding just fell over a balcony, and was now being loaded into an ambulance.
"Oh my goodness, look at what we did…" Hinata said quietly. Naruto hugged her from behind. She leaned into his chest.
"It wasn't your fault, Hinata. It was Ino's for holding up the damned thing in the first place," Naruto told her. Her mood brightened up slightly.
"I can't believe Ino even liked the thing!" Tenten shouted.
"Tenten, I highly doubt that Ino actually liked it. I think she was just showing it to us," Neji rebutted.
"Oh really? Well, I think she did!" Tenten argued.
"She couldn't have! The thing was hideous!"
"Do you wanna bet on it?"
"Okay, I'll treat you to one free item in the mall, take you out to dinner, and even take you out to a movie of your choice, if you win," Neji smirked. He was just hoping he didn't lose.
"Fine. I want to see Bloodthirsty Vampires though." (I just made that up on the spot! Not a real movie, unless you people know of a movie called Bloodthirsty Vampires…)
"Well, when I win—"
"Which you won't Neji!"
"I want to see you wear a pink, frilly summer dress, and leave your hair down for three days when we return to school."
"You're on!" Tenten shouted. By this time, the scene was just about cleaned up, except for the ambulance still sitting out in the street. Just then, Ino came out to join the group, looking quite happy and holding a shopping bag.
"I couldn't help it. It's so cool!" She jumped up and down gleefully. Tenten looked at Neji, smiling a teasing smile. Neji glared at Ino and scoffed, admitting defeat. Sakura muffled laughter underneath her breath. Unfortunately, she couldn't hold it in and she started laughing hysterically. Sasuke looked over questioningly at his girlfriend, wondering what set her off all of a sudden.
"Sakura? Are you PMSing?" he asked her. She couldn't answer him.
"Oh, don't worry about her. She had a few bottles of Vault too many, is all," Ino explained. Sasuke stared, wide eyed.
"How. Many. Bottles. Did. She. HAVE?!" Sasuke screamed.
"Umm…maybe like, seventeen? Hehe…" Ino slowly walked backwards as Sasuke glared evilly. Sakura's laughter became louder, and she was beginning to attract attention.
"Sakura, I think you're drunk…" Sasuke told her calmly.
"Yeah! Drunk on SUGAR!!" Sakura shouted, bursting into yet another round of laughter. Sasuke sighed.
"Okay, I'm taking her to the hotel. She needs to sleep," Sasuke said. He picked her up bridal style. She started to kick furiously, trying to get down. Sasuke held her tight though.
"Sasuke! –giggle- Put me down!" Sakura laughed. He shook his head no, holding on tighter. She gave up hope, and yet him carry her back. He decided to walk instead of having the limo drive them, so that the others could get back as well.
-Twenty Minutes Later-
By the time Sasuke got back to the hotel, Sakura fell asleep comfortably in his arms. He smiled, and laid her on his bed.
"Wow Sakura, you're a lot lighter than you look, almost too skinny…oh yeah, you told me that already. I hope you haven't been trying to lost more weight…" Sasuke outwardly spoke what was on his mind.
"My agent doesn't tell me that I'm fat anymore," Sakura said groggily, not opening her eyes. She wasn't really sleeping, but she was trying.
"Yeah, he better not!" Sasuke exclaimed. She smiled, and asked Sasuke for a favor.
"Yeah, what do you want me to do?" he asked.
"Can you go get me some pajamas out of my drawer? I'm too lazy to get up and get them myself."
"Yeah sure." Sasuke walked over to her drawer. He pulled out the pajamas that had black pants with a white symbol on the pocket that meant "me". He didn't understand it, but when he pulled out the equally black colored shirt and saw a symbol that meant "love", he put the words together.
"Love me…" he mumbled under his breath. He shrugged and walked over to her with the clothes in his hands. She thanked him, and began to take off her shirt. He wanted to turn away, he truly did, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He watched her lift up the article of clothing, and his eyes widened. Her stomach was almost invisible, and she had no body fat to cover up the bruised ribs that pushed out. She pulled the new shirt over top, and he couldn't bring himself to say anything. She lied back down in his bed, and almost instantly fell asleep, without a word.
"Sakura. I just looked at your ribs yesterday when Ami punched you. What possibly happened?" Sasuke still couldn't believe what he saw. She had to have done something to lose all that weight. He pondered what could've happened. Diet pills? Exercise? Dieting? Wait! "Crash diet? Is she not eating? No she's been eating fine…how did she lose that much weight?!" Sasuke shouted, not waking Sakura. A few moments later, everyone else walked into the room.
"Hey Sasuke! Did she calm down for you?" Naruto asked, looking at the sleeping Sakura.
"Hn." He walked into the next room, where the hotel's computer was provided for the guests. He got on, looking up losing weight fast. He clicked on the first page to pop up. He saw symptoms such as sleepiness, laziness, grumpy, weak, light, things like that. He scrolled down to look at some of the diseases.
"Bulimic? No…this is crap! But it's for Sakura…" He looked further and saw a section on someone looking absolutely normal. Then he saw it. That one section explained everything to him.
"Some people use a different method to losing weight quickly and secretly," Sasuke read aloud. "These people range from many different ages, but mostly teenagers and young adults do this, and mainly girls and women. They will usually eat a big meal in front of friends, and then say they are going to the bathroom. What they are really going to do is forcibly throw up their food, so that the calories don't turn into fat, they lose weight, and their friends and family don't suspect a thing. But this will get worse as this situation progresses, and soon will leave the victim in a hospital, dying and with no cure." (Okay, I don't know if these are all correct, but I just thought it kinda made sense…)
Sasuke now had tears flowing freely from his eyes. He made sure he was as silent as possible. He punched the wall next to him, leaving a hole.
"HOW COULD I NOT NOTICE?!" He blamed himself for what was happening to his girlfriend. 'I can't jump to conclusions…maybe she's not doing this at all and I'm overreacting…but I need to make a plan so I can find out what's going on…' he thought. He wiped away any other tears that might have fallen, looked in a mirror to make it look like he was okay, and went back into the other room to join the others.
Okay people, sorry it was really short! I'll try and make it longer next time. Hoped you liked it!
Until Next Time!
