-x-X-x-
Blink.
Blink.
Blink.
Slowly dark heavy eyes fluttered open.
The confused man took in his surrounding. They were his walls. His living room. Definitely his plasma.
Okay so he knew he was in his exclusive penthouse.
The thing was he had no idea how he got there. And he had no idea why his head felt like it had been run over by a massive truck.
Sasuke groaned and slowly sat up. His legs hanging of the edge of his sofa, hit something hard.
'What the fuck?'
He moved his head so he could see what his legs had come in contact with. A blonde mass confirmed his answer.
What the fuck was the dobe doing here? And why the fuck was he sleeping on his floor?
The raven man groaned and rubbed his face tiredly. His head was in chaos. His brain was going ba-dump ba-dump, while it throbbed in pain.
What the hell happened last night?
He couldn't remember. But first thing's first. He had to wake up Naruto.
Thud.
Sasuke kicked him not so gently on the arm.
Thud.
Naruto only groaned in annoyance and rolled over.
"Wake up you dobe!"
Whack!
"The blue monkey stole it!! I SWEAR!"
He quickly said as his head immediately snapped up. He saw the weird look Sasuke gave him.
"What?" Naruto asked him stupidly.
"Why the fuck are you sleeping on my floor?" he questioned him straight off.
"Is that how you thank the best friend who saved your ass from a terrible cold dark night by risking his sweet life to drag you into the comforts of your own home?" Naruto said, over dramatically while he sat up.
Sasuke only scoffed at him.
"Cheh. What the hell happened last night?"
Naruto snorted but was inwardly please. Very, very pleased.
"Oh you know the usual. You, drunk. Me, save your ass." He waved him off.
"Right. Mind telling why you stayed?" Sasuke asked with a loud yawn.
Naruto gave a shrug.
"Too sleepy." He got up to stretch, flexing his tired muscles.
"Fuck man. I don't remember anything except dinner and…" He trailed off with a disapproving growl. "Sai was with Sakura…"
Naruto nodded.
"Then you went to a bar and got drunk. That about sums it up."
Sasuke glared at his friend's smirk.
"Can I have a shower before I leave?"
"Hn."
The onyx eyed man watched as the blonde haired man made his way to the guest bathroom. He sat there trying to coax what had really happed last night out of his blurry memory. His mind fuzzed up. Bits and pieces revealed itself…
"A 'ittle sof'r would've bee' nice."
"Why the fuck didn't you just walk yourself you ass."
Flash.
"Why are you so nice to Karin? Wait, wait, wait better yet, why were you flirting with her tonight?!" he demanded, exaggerating the 'flirting'.
"firting? What – wha' da, 'ell? Sp-eak pro-ly. Dohe! . . ."
"I said. Flirting. F-L-I-R-T-I-N-G. With K-A-R-I-N."
"k'ayaraaien... that's a funny name."
"Now tell me why you were flirting with her?" he said in a tone you would speak to a three-year-old that just got caught stealing from the cookie jar.
"I was not!"
"..."
"She f'king it all."
"She's faking it all?"
"She do'snt re'lly want me. . ."
"What?"
"She do'snt re'lly want me."
"You already told me that! Why would she be faking it?"
"hn..."
Flash.
". . .Do you love Sakura?"
"..."
"Do you love Sakura?"
"W'ose that?"
Then it hit him.
That stupid fucking dobe…
He actually had the balls to take advantage of him…
…when he was drunk…
…And think he was going to get anyway with it.
"Naruto." He cursed under his breath. The blonde was going to get it as soon as he stepped out of the bathroom.
And soon enough…
Naruto's loud call echoed through the room. He walked out with only a towel draped around his waste.
"Bastard! Let me borrow some clothes –" he trailed off when he saw Sasuke's maddening glare. "Err… please?"
"Yeah," He said through gritted teeth. "Let me go get it for you." He said overly sweetly. Sasuke DID NOT say things sweetly. And walked into his own room.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
"Get it!" the owner of the place called out.
"Yeah yeah."
Naruto made his way to the door. He unlocked it and sure enough it swung straight open revealing a not so happy blonde.
"Err… Ino… hi!" He said nervously to his wife, rubbing the back of his head slowly.
On the other side of the room Sasuke shriveled his head around to see who was at the door. Finding who he hoped was there he smirked wickedly.
Perfect.
He unbuttoned his shirt and undid his pants until only boxers were left and trotted out the room.
Pay back time dobe.
"Why were you here all night?! You should have called! Did you know how worried I was!! NARUTO ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!" Ino screamed at her husband who disappeared the night before without a word. Naruto however had his ears block with his hands and a cowering look on his face. He could never win against her.
"And for God's sake, why are you only wearing a towel!?"
"Well what happen was –"
"Oh well you caught us." Sasuke interrupted, only in his boxers.
"What?" both blondes turned their head to him.
Sasuke only chuckled all too deeply. He put his arms around Naruto's shoulders. He seductively bent to the blonde's ear and whispered loud enough for Ino to hear.
"We may as well tell them and it over with. I wanna get back to our shower." He said suggestively.
Naruto stiffened and paled at his words.
What. The. Fuck. Was. Sasuke. Up. To!
Ino looked at both men incredulously.
"What?"
Sasuke sighed and hugged Naruto closer to his body. He looked at Ino in slight contempt.
"He is the reason for my break with Sakura." He smirked down at the frozen man. "It's about time everyone found out."
"What! Ino! Don't listen to him! GET OFF ME!" Naruto finally came to his senses.
The man feigned a hurt look.
"I thought we agreed that we would come clean last night, in my bed."
Ino looked at them in utter horror. Wondering whether she should believe him or not. She looked at Naruto, with the towel around his waist. And then Sasuke practically naked. She wobbled a bit before speaking.
"I'll – I'll wait for you at – at home." She managed out and run off.
"WAIT! Ino! Baby, listen to me!" Naruto jumped out of Sasuke's arms frantically and ran after her. But a loud chuckle from Sasuke made his stop on his spot.
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THAT!?" He screamed at the man.
Sasuke shrugged.
"Hn."
"I don't fucking appreciate you saying shit to my wife you fucking fag! Just because you have fucking problems with your lover you don't need to fuck up other people's love life!"
His words did nothing to faze Sasuke. He only smirked.
"And I don't fucking appreciate you taking advantage of me when I'm drunk."
Oh. Naruto stood there numbly. So that's why he did that. To get back at him.
"If you want to know something ask me to my face. It's none of your business who I flirt with or be nice to and you don't have a fucking right to ask me whether I love Sakura or not you fucking dobe… Of course I fucking love her!"
Sasuke said it so much more calmly. But hell, anyone could tell the way he said it was much more deadly than Naruto could have done.
BANG!
With that he shut to door on the blondes face. Naruto only had a goofy smile on his face.
So, there was hope for him and Sakura after all. But then he realized…
"SASUKE! OPEN THE FUCKIN DOOR!! I NEED MY CLOTHES!!"
Few hours later…
"Have you seen that papers?" A dark blonde haired woman asked the pink haired one.
"Yeah!" She smiled taking a sip from her mug.
"And you're not worried?" She raised her eyebrows at the cheery girl.
"Heh. Noo."
"Mmm. And why not?" She asked, perplexed.
"Because," She sighed and paused to put down her coffee. "It doesn't say I'm the one trying to woo him does it?"
"Hmm. I guess so… but that picture." She mentioned a certain one where it did not look so good for Sakura.
She only shrugged.
"Who wouldn't be like that if someone was publicly seducing them."
"Am I to assume that this is not affecting you in any way?"
She shrugged again. Temari sighed.
"You need to dump him. Honestly you do."
"…" She couldn't say anything. She wanted to let go of him she really did. But the thing was she couldn't.
Her heart would never let him go.
"I've gotta go soon. We're finishing up the shooting."
Sakura smiled bitterly.
"The movie's sure to be a big hit."
The blonde woman nodded.
"With Uchiha Sasuke and Fujiwara Karin. Hell yeah."
"…hmm…"
"Sakura?" Temari had a worried expression on her face.
"I thought you should know…"
"Yeah?" She raised her eyes. "What is it?"
"…we're filming the kiss scenes today…"
Her heart skipped a beat.
"WHERE IS EVERYONE?!" A very mad Tsunade voiced echoed throughout the whole studio.
"WE HAVEN'T FINISHED FILMIMG THIS STUPID MOVIE! AND NO ONES HERE?!"
"Temari isn't here. She said she's with Sakura." Ino said loudly making sure Sasuke heard.
"And I don't think Sai will be coming today either! You know why." She smirked at Sasuke who glared in return.
"Well they don't matter at the moment. We need KARIN. WHERE IS SHE?!" She stormed out of the room.
"You know Sasuke that was a pretty dirty joke you pulled."
He smirked. But everyone else in the room had NO idea what she was talking about.
"You blondes are all the same. As if someone like me is gay with someone like him or gay with anyone for that matter."
With that sentence a few people coughed. As if trying to seem as if they weren't listening in on the conversation or want to know what it was about.
"Chehh. It's not an extraordinary thing for homosexuality in Japan."
"Ino. You guys are married. As if you would believe me. Or am I just that good at acting." He snorted.
"Why did you do it anyway? Oh no wait. Naruto told me." She stopped. "Well fair enough! He was wrong to do that too." She said understandingly, narrowing her blue eyes at her husband.
Naruto gulped. Why is it ALWAYS his fault?!
"But for Kami's sake Sasuke. You couldn't just lend him pair of pants?"
They watched as Naruto blushed. Sasuke and Ino both chuckled. Some people snickered along with them, they weren't exactly sure what they were talking about but they got the gist of it.
"Sasuke?" Naruto said, trying to get his attention.
"Hn."
Hah. Such a typical Sasuke reply.
"What do you mean about Karin being nice and shit?" He asked as soon as he was sure the arrogant man was listening to him.
Good. Everyone else wanted to know this too.
To the question Sasuke only smirked.
"Why don't you just ask her?" He said amusedly.
The blonde man only frowned.
"Oh gee I wonder how well that'll go down." He said sarcastically. "Oh hey Karin. Sasuke supposedly thinks you're nice, when we all think you're a man-stealing bitch. Care to explain?" He snorted.
Then the dark man did the unexpected. He threw his head back and erupted in laughter, much to everyone's confusion.
"That'd probably work." He told Naruto seriously.
The man gave in an incredulous look as the door opened.
"Ahh speak of the devil. You can ask her now." He smirked and motioned his head to the door Karin had just walked in.
Naruto glared at the leading male.
"Karin! FINALLY! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" Tsunade yelled, popping out of no where. "I WANT EVERYONE, YES EVERYONE READY IN 10 MINS!"
"Shizune, get the camera people ready. We're doing scene 25 we need the green room for the kiss please. I want cameras at 3 angles. Tilt and zoom. And we're gonna pan-circle."
"Yes ma'am!" She said and did her job like a trained horse, only Shizune and Sakura understood Tsunade's short-form way of speaking.
"The most anticipated movie… and we're months behind…" Tsunade muttered as she went back to her office.
When only the stars were left in the room, Sasuke was the one who broke the silence.
"Karin." He said.
"Yeah!? What?" She gave him a fake cheery smile. Although other people couldn't tell.
"Naruto wants to know why you're such a bitch." Sasuke smirked.
Naruto jaws dropped. He did not say it like that!! That's not what he meant!
Karin narrowed her eyes and much to everyone's surprise didn't direct it at Naruto, but at Sasuke himself.
"Wouldn't he like to know." She muttered.
"Please. Enlighten us." Sasuke pushed on.
The lead female only snorted and flicked her blazing red hair with her hands.
"What still not over the fact that I ended it with you not the other way around?"
"What! NO!" her reply was immediate. She snarled at him.
"Fine. I wanted to piss him off and prove my point of something- a past thing you people wouldn't really understand." She spoke loud and clear for everyone to hear.
Ino snorted.
"Like that would achieve anything. I don't believe you." She stopped talking when Sasuke gave her a warning glare. "What's the past thing?" Ino asked them.
The red eyed woman sighed.
"The past thing is a long story. But I knew he would never believe that I still had feeling for him even if I flirted or whatever but I did kept doing it –"
"To annoy me because I hate people that pretend. It's just a way Karin does things. She's stupid. Plus, you," he looked gravely at Karin. "You knew that by acting like that, it would make these guys hate you. And you know that I would get extremely pissed from that."
The gang didn't know what they were talking about, but they figured that this was Sasuke and Karin's business. Not their own.
"I'm not stupid!" She glared at Sasuke who only chuckled in return.
Slowly, he got up from his seat and walk toward the red head girl. He put a hand on her head fondly and smiled down at her. He bent down to her ear level and spoke.
"I like you better when you are yourself."
Karin's eyes widened slightly. They saw, for the first time, they saw Karin falter. Her face softened, her eyes relax. She didn't seem so tough and snobby anymore, she look almost sad and vulnerable.
And then suddenly guilt filled the gang. Maybe she was not what she appeared to be.
But it would seem that she still had feelings for him after all.
"We better go before Tsunade-sama comes back out."
She sat there alone on the park bench. She had left the café with Temari awhile ago. Her pink tresses gently playing with the slight breeze. Her face in her hands.
They were going to kiss.
Stupid Karin and Sasuke were going to kiss. Somehow she couldn't get this out of her head. She couldn't get what Temari told her out of her head.
"Sakura?" Temari had a worried expression on her face.
"I thought you should know…"
"Yeah?" She raised her eyes. "What is it?"
"…we're filming the kiss scenes today…"
Filming the kiss scenes today…
Kiss scenes today…
Kiss.
Sasuke and Karin.
Kiss scenes.
Kiss.
Kiss.
Kiss.
Her heart sank.
That was all that ran through her mind. Random flashes of pictures and words that nearly broke her heart.
Temari had made it to the studio in time to see the "kiss." Well what could she say.
It was like any star-like kiss could be. Full of passion, steamily hot, lovingly sweet.
What surprised her was the fact that it was Karin who said that she felt bad for doing this. And again it was Karin who suggested that they get a Sasuke double to do the other intimate scenes, because she felt guilt and if she was in Sakura's position she would hate her too.
But what surprised her most was how perfect it was. They only took ONE bloody shot!
No one gets it perfect on the first shot. No one.
And… yet… Sasuke and Karin did. And to make matters worse on a kissing shoot.
She watched them in the room. It seemed like it had been rehearsed over and over. This kiss… The emotion was there. The chemistry was there. And more disgustedly the love was there.
What the hell was going on? That question was going through everyone's mind as they watched the pair. Well, watch Sasuke hold and kiss like his life depended on it with the wrong woman. Thank God Sakura wasn't here to see this.
Were they just amazing actors? Or… was it something else?
No one knew.
After that, everyone headed home.
Images of them together wouldn't leave her head. They're just acting. She told herself over and over again.
'They're just acting!'
'We trust Sasuke!'
'For once we agree!'
'First time for everything.'
'Still… I'm not sure I can take this.'
'C'mon just write a new song and make sure you put a kiss in the mv!'
'Hey that's not bad! Make him feel our pain!'
'Yeah we already established that I'm the brains of this soul.'
'There is no you. WE are ONE.'
"AHHHHHH!" Sakura screamed and jumped off the bench to clear to mind. This was not going so well.
Oh fucking hell. She probably won't get any sleep tonight!
It was getting late. The sun was half way down the golden horizon. Closing her eyes, she slowly trotted home down the pathway.
"Oof" she bumped into something hard. A wall maybe?
She opened her eyes, seeing who it was her face contorted in astonishment.
He smirked at her.
That dark hair.
Those eyes.
No way…
