Hello everyone! Sorry this chapter took a while, it is just that the other day my computer messed up badly! There was litterly, nothing to do. Not even the phone, or the television worked! I wanted to go and hang out with my friends, but they were all busy. That wasn't fair. So I just took a nap then listened to my iPod. How was your week so far? Anything interesting happen? Go ahead and tell me!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto!!
Let us see what happened recently.
The two best friends don't very fight often. Time after time, they do get into small disagreements. This was just one of them after about one day, they would live like this never happened. She frowned, and then went to ask the the not intoxicated Hinata for a ride home.
"So he goes and ditches me for his other friends! Unbelievable, right? Did you know he said he wanted to tell me something this morning? I wonder if he likes me more then a friend. It makes things much more easier." The shy girl nodded in understanding. Yes, Hinata was the only one in the group who knew that Sakuraisin love with her best friend.
"S-Sakura, you shouldn't get y-your hopes up. If he said he wanted to t-tell you some-something it could mean th-that he just wanted to tell you that h-he.." Hinata was rudely cut off by Sakura.
"And what, Hinata? He'll say, 'Hey Sakura, I got a new dog. I just made a big deal out of it to surprise you! Isn't that great?' You and I both know that he will never ever do that. Damn it, I hate it when he gets under my skin. I also hate it when he ditches me for his gay friends! So frustrating. You know how Sasuke and I have that hang out day on Saturday?" Hinatanodded. "Well, after one Saturday, he cancelled on me! Then guess what, since he did that, I went to the library. Guess who I saw? Yep, I saw Sasukewalking by with his friends. He ditched me for them! I got over it after about three days."
"W-well you guys are best friends. I g-guess it is normal for a few f-fights here and there."
"I guess." very soon, they arrived at the front of Sakura'shouse. "Thanks for the ride. By the way, I think you should know that I lied to Sasukeaboutthe whole getting coffee with my mother. I'll call you later, oh you should really tell Narutosoon." with a wink. Sakura left the blushing girl to her thoughts.
Sakura was doing quite well after her disagreement withher best friend. She took a nice, long, hot bath. After that, she then took out an apple and chewed on it making sure she brought her phone from her bedroom as she watched some television. The girl was interrupted when there was a knock on her door. She got up, taking a bite of her green apple. She opened it.
"Sasuke?" she was utterly surprised to see him on her doorstep. Even more surprised to see that he brought all his gay friends with him. She was slightly pissed as well. I mean, who does that?! "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Sakura. I need a favor." he said.
"And what would that be?" she asked pretty curious of what he was going to ask from her. His friends smiled at her, as if a silent greeting. There was also a red-head with them. Four guys, one girl. Gross, wonder what they were doing. Talk about gang bang.Sakura thought disgustingly.
"We needed a place to hang out."
'WHAT?! How dare he! He barges in here, asks for a place to hang out. With his friends that I hardly even know! Some best friend he is! I can not believe him!' she didn't show how outraged she was. Sakura have an apologeticsmileat the five of them. "Oh, really? Look, I'm sorry. I still have to go meet up with my mom."
"It's cool, we'll stay here." his friend said. He was platinum blonde and he had a chunk of light blue. He seemed fairly nice, and kind, but Sakura shook her head, she refused to have a couple of strangers in her house. Excluding Sasuke, of course.
"I can't let you do that!!" Sakura bursted. Sakura cursed herself for just saying that out loud as if she was hiding something, she needed to think of something. And quick. Sasuke rose an eyebrow at her, waiting for her to explain. "M-my dad. He's going to come in about thirty minutes. He was going to check if I had enough room.."
"Room for what, Saki?" Sasuke asked.
"Room for what? Why would you ask something like that!!" Sakura laughed very fakely it was visible that she was sweating, "It is obvious that my dad is going to check if I have enough room, in my bedroom to see if they can fit a TV in there."
"We're only going to be in here for about fifteen minutes, just to smoke some pot." the guy with the blue-streak said. Sakura never caught his name.
"Sasuke knows how my dad is. He always comes about ten minutes early! Or less. So I think it is better if you guys go run along. What is your names anyway? I never knew."
"Heh, I'm Dylan. That's Juugo, Karin, and you already know Sasuke."
"I'm Sakura. You guys better go. My mom is probably--" just then, a phone rang, from about the table near the TV in the living room. Sakura excused herself and went to go get it. Hinata, good timing. Please, play along. She answered it while walking back to Sasuke, Dylan, Juugo and Karin.
"Mom! Are you waiting at the cafe already?" she waited for a few seconds so that it looked like she was talking on the phone.
"S-Sakura? It's Hinata. Did I get the wrong number?"
"Oh! No, no! I'll be over there in a few seconds. Sasuke just came for a...visit." she prayed that Hinata will get the hint.
"I g-get it..Let me get this straight. Sasukeis over there with h-his b-buddies, am I correct?"
"Yeah, you're right. I'll call you when I'm about a block away alright?"
"O-okay. Take care."
"Good-bye, Hin-Mom! See you soon." she hung up.
"What did your mom say?" Sasuke asked. He was probably sensing something very off about Sakura's behaviour. Sakura smirked, because knowing Sasuke, she knew that the question was going to be asked.
"She said she doesn't want to be waited any longer. She also said that my dad is coming home early, oh, she also says 'hi'. Why don't you guys just go to Sasuke's house?"
"Sasuke doesn't want us smoking up his place." Karin said, smiling sweetly at Sasuke. Sakura felt anger build up inside of her. Sakura knew that her and this red-head were not going to get along. Also, if she was eyeing Sasuke like that, she was either straight, or bisexual. Sakura skimmed the girls outfit. Karin, was wearing short-shorts, that should be called underwear. It was way to short. You could see a quarter of her ass cheeks! Sakura mentally gagged. Her shirt was a black spaghetti strap and it had a bedazzled picture of an out-lined girl.
Dylan was wearing something similar, yet something very different. He also short-shorts. But not as short as the girls. He had a see-through white shirt, and a black hoodie that didn't even reach the rim of his shorts. It looked like someone cut it in half. You could see that Dylan was wearing a bit of eye-liner and eye-shadow.
Juugo'slong, black pants made him stick out from the two short-short wearers. He had orange carrot-like hair, as a shirt, he wore a purple V-neck that had a black vest ontop. Juugo was wearing a bit of eyeliner and tha twas about it. Sakura had a feeling this guy was also bisexual. Somehow, Dylan was the only one that visibly look gay. While Karin just looked like a straight up slut.
Sakura let Karin's words sink into her head. Unable to hold back her anger any longer, she glared at her best friend. "You didn't want them smoking up your place?! So you let them come here, out of all places, and you think that I would let you guys smoke pot in here?! God, you sure are clueless. You guys cannot smoke in here." Sakura calmed down a bit, "Look, there is a stonerpark. People smoke freely over there. It isn't to far but cops surround that place time to time. Go by the collage I attend, then take a left. It's called 'Stone Park'."
"They have a stoner park? Why do they call is it called Stone Park?" Juugo asked. Clearly, he was not offended that Sakura just implied them as stoners.
Sakura sighed in frustration, "Yes. They do. Because, there are big stones everywhere. So you guys could smoke without being caught." Funny how things started out so well in the morning and has gotten bad all in a blink of an eye. Sakura answered Juugo's questions without emotion. Three of them shrugged and left. Walking into Sasuke's car. Sasuke sticked behind.
"You're not mad at me, are you Saki?" he asked softly.
Sakurasighed, there was no use in getting worked up. With Sasuke, you'll just loose. "No, I'm not. Now get out." Sakura said playfully. Her love for him was stronger. It would overcome every single fight that they had. They'll just make up some time. No matter how much she wanted to be mad at him.
She shut the door in his face. Sakura then ran to her kitchen window that had a perfectly good view of the front of her house. Sakura saw Sasuke get into the drivers seat, and drive off. Dylan was in the passangers seat, while the other two were in the back. Sakura was mad at herself for giving into his soft voice so freely. She curssed her heart, she blamed her love. Her lies were certainly not helping at all.
"Hey, Hinata? Yeah, about that, I'm sorry for dragging you into that mess." Sakuraawaited for her acceptance of her apology. "Sure. Actually, I called if you want to go hang out? Maybe with Tenten, I want to tell her about that whole Sasuke thing." Sakura said steadily, she gave in some thought about actually telling the girls but one by one sounded less drastic. "Of course I'm sure! I just need to ge it off my chest. It'll be much easier if I could talk about this to more then one person, I'll pick you up in around five minutes." Sakura was silent for a moment. It passed about forty- five minutes, and thirty seconds when Sasuke arrived and left. Not like she was counting.
Sakura slipped outside grabbing her keys, and making sure that her door was locked. She opened the door of her silver Volvo and jumped in. Turning the key, the engine roared. Sakura quicky turned on the radio, before checking the time. "It's already four. Time sure just flew by." she muttered. Sakura then backed out of her drive-way and on the pavement, driving to Hinata's house where Tenten should also be. About three minutes later, she reached the light brown house.
The silver car she drove got parked in front of the house before she stepped out and knocked lightly on the door. Soon enough, the light green door opened. Revealing her shy friend. "Hey Hinata. Is Tenten here?"
"Y-yes. You a-are here early. In f-fact, you are t-two minutes early."
"Better being early then late right? Plus, there was no trouble getting here. I only live about four blocks over."
"Sakura, hey! You wanted to tell me something?" Tenten popped her head over Hinata's. Tenten was fairly taller then the shy one.
Sakurashook her head before returning the greeting, "Hey there, Ten! Not here I will tell you in the lounge."
Whenever she spoke of the word, 'lounge' that meant she was talking about a chilling spot near this sweet shop. Also in there, you could play many games as you wish. Free of charge! The lounge was behind the place, and only a few people know about it. Every night, at around seven or eight, there would be a performance. They also is equipped instruments of every and any kind so that guest are allowed to play and sing as they wish.
Tentenwas familiar withthe place but the last time she came here was months ago. She took in the things that changed from her last visit. There was about three long, brown couches witha table in the middle with a single candle on top. Above them, a brown curtain like thing protected them from any unwanted bugs that may enter. It was transparent, meaning that yo uare able to see through it. There was another group, over in the other corner. They paid no attention to them.
The three girls sat down on the couches, making themselves comfortable. Tenten even placed her feet upon the table. "So, what's this whole thing about?"
"I have to tell you something. Something big. Something that you can't tell anyone. Something that has taken a huge impact on me. Some-"
Tenten rolled her chocolate eyes at her friend, "Something, something, something. I get it, just tell me already."
Sakura then started fidgeting. This obviously sparked Tenten's attention. "Uhh..Well..You see.."
It was visible that Tentenstarted to get irritated with all the stalling. Tentenknew that whatever she was going to say, it is important. The girl never saw her pink-haired friend stutter, and start playing with the hem of her shirt, it was as if she was another Hinata! Sakura then turned red. Tenten was drowned in her own thoughts that she never caught what she said. "I'm sorry, what?"
"I-I'm.." she trailed off, and Tenten took it as a worst problem scenario.
"You're pregnant?!" Tenten busted. Sakura glared at her. Sakura also blushed at how loud the girl was.
"No! What makes you think that?! Did you hear what I was saying?! I said that I'm--"
"You're pregnant? I don't even remember you losing your virginity." a so familiar voice asked. Sakura gasped and turned. A smile broke out from her face.
"Oh my god! Gaara, what are you doing here?! Are you visiting your sister? How did you find out about this place?" Sakura asked, her friend, Gaara, was like another best friend. His red hair, that was meant to be a bit messy, and dark brown eyes made him stand out. Sakura knew this boy about, a year longer then Sasuke. His sister, Temari, is attending collage here. While Gaara preferred to go to the farthest one. In another state. Standford University.
"So much questions, Saku. One at a time!" Gaara playfully said. Sakuragiggled and just couldn't contain herself, she hugged him. "Actually, I am here to visit my sister. I found out about this place when I entered this store. I thought it was just another storage room. Since no one stopped me from going in, I stepped in and found you here. Back to the point. You're pregnant?"
"I am not pregnant! Apparently, Tenten doesn't listen." Sakura's emerald orbs glared at the girl who smiled sheepishly. Hinata just stayed quiet.
Gaara Subaku was Temari's younger brother and a year younger then Sakura. He was only a year younger then her. Nevertheless, he and Sakura have been friends since middle school. After a while, he developed some feelings towards her. She didn't feel the same way, though. Even though it had him a bit sad. He knew it was time to move on. Gaara was one to hide his feelings. He was another best friend to Sakura, it seemed that her two best friends were boys, no? After about his last year in junior high, he moved, along with his sister. Two years later, Temari moved back, but Gaara didn't. Sakura was hurt, but then Sasuke came into her life.
"Oh! How rude am I? This is Tenten, that is Hinata."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Gaara."
After being so rudely interrupted, Sakura secretly whispered in Tenten's that she would call her later, or tomorrow. Sakura gazed at the watch that was above the enterance door, it wass surrounded in neon lights, making it easier to read the numbers. It was already ten-fortyfive! Sakura gasped. She was never pleased with herself in staying out so late. Sakura excused herself from Gaara, exchanging numbers, and they all were off.
Sakura dropped her friends in their houses and then she parked herself at her house. When she drove across her house however, she spotted lighting in her living room. Sakura hurridly grabbed the nearest weapon near her, which just had to be a long golf stick. She remembered that her father used to golf. Dismissing that thought, she cautiously walked in her house.
Using the element of surprise, she was about to hit the man upside in the head when he turned, and backed up. Sakura stopped what she was doing. "What the fuck? Do you know how fucking late it is? I could have gotten a heart attack right there! What the fuck were you thinking, Sasuke?"
"You swear to much." he stated. Ignoring all the questions he asked.
Sakura shrugged, "I like to express myself."
"Sure. Hey, what was up with you today? You seemed pissed. How was your coffee with your mom?"
"It's nothing, just thoughts that are bothering me to no end. You know how my mom is, burying her nose in my personal life. Back to my questions, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Saturday. We hang out, did you forget?"
Sakura was now downright angry. She forget? It isn't like they did that in months, weeks! Sakura stared at him, astonished. Without a call, he comes in, and then tells her that she forgot something. He was the one that ditch her for his gay friends. His choice of friends were starting to get on her nerves. Sakura clenched her fist. This was beyond, the most fucked up he ever did today. "You're blaming me?! You are seriously doing that? Hmm, let me get straight to the damn point. You ditched me, on our Satuday hang night for your other friends. In fact, you ditched me for about a month? So don't you dare go trying to put this all on me. Cause it isn't my fault!" Sakura screamed. Tears started to come out. Her anger and tear wire were somehow connected. So everytime she was mad, she would cry.
Sasuke walked over to his best friend, embracing her. In a tight hug, "Saki, I'm sorry. Forgive me.."
"I-It's okay." She said uner choked sobs. After about another minute in his arms, he released her. Sakura frowned at the lost of warmth. Then, her mood suddenly brightened, "Sasuke! Guess who I saw today?!"
"Who?" he smirked.
"Gaara! Do you remember him?"
Sasuke frowned. Sasuke and Gaara never got along that well, for some unknown reason. Maybe it was because one was afraid that Sakura was going to be taken away from them. "Hn. Yeah."
Sakura reached up to place her hand on his shoulder, "You all right? I know you guys are not very fond of eachother but you guys have somethings in common."
"Like what?"
"You both have me as a best friend!!" Sakura exclaimed.
"That's true."
"And more, I think. As much as I love your company, you better leave now. I want to get some sleep. So.." her index finger pointed at her front door, "Out you go."
Sasuke shook his head at her foolishness and walked out. He stopped at the doorway and turned to face her, "Sweet dreams, Saki."
"Night." she called back.
"He is so into me!!" Sakura screamed happily. Her imagination then was filled with sweet things about her and Sasuke.
