Song of the day- Such Great Heights by The Postal Service
I own nothing except for the plot.
Normal P.O.V.
"Oh he is on the prowl yet again." Naruto said as he placed his drumsticks down. The song had ended and they started packing up their instruments. "You had that look all while singing. Who's the unlucky girl this time?"
Sasuke let out a sarcastic laugh. "Your sweet." He placed his guitar back into its case before helping Neji put away his guitar amps.
"No man, I saw it too. Who is it? Someone finally steal that heart of yours?" Shikamaru laughed to himself, thinking that prospect to be impossible.
"I don't know who it was. Never saw her before. Hoping she's easy." Sasuke said, picking up his case while walking with the other three to a seating area.
"You have practically fooled around with all the girls in the school. Who haven't you seen?" Neji asked flopping down on the couch, Shikamaru next to him. Naruto sat on a single plush chair, while Sasuke sat atop the coffee table leaning back on his hands.
"That is true. We don't really have a large school, and save for our girls there is practically no one left that you haven't…oh kami." Shikamaru said rolling his eyes and shaking his head. The others looked at him puzzled while he gestured to the dance floor. They watched as four girls fought their way through the crowd to get to where the boys sat. "Is that her?" Shikamaru asked pointing to the girl who was being dragged along by Ino.
"Yea." Sasuke said as he smirked, admiring the sway of the pink haired girls hips. Shikamaru sighed as he watched Sasuke shift into playboy mode. "Ino-chan is truly not going to be happy about this."
"Hey come on! Lets go find the guys!" Tenten screamed over the music. Sakura was still trying to calm the fuming Ino while Tenten and Hinata fought through the crowd to find them.
"Uh…Ten-chan, m-maybe we shouldn't go see them if…you know who…is with them." Hinata said, not wanting to mention his name, trying to not anger Ino further.
"…No, I should let Sakura-chan meet the other two, and my problem with Sasuke should not get in the way of her making friends here." Ino said grasping Sakura's wrist and tugging her in the direction of the seating area.
"Its okay Ino-chan. If you don't want to go over there, I can just meet the other two guys later!" Sakura said.
Ino turned around, still holding Sakura's wrist, and smiled brightly at her before rolling her eyes. "Come on Saku-chan."
Sakura smiled happily at her as the four of them fought their way through the grinding bodies of Konoha High students as a techno pop song blared through the speakers. After a minute of so they were out of the crowd and the boys were in sight.
"Neji-kun!" Tenten yelled over the music to get her boyfriends attention. A boy with eyes identical to those of Hinata with long brown hair turned at the sound of her voice before smiling at her and opening his arms for her to run into. After a quick hug he draped his arms around her shoulder.
Sakura heard Hinata squeak in surprise as a blond haired blue-eyed boy wrapped his arms from behind around her waist and pulled her flush against his chest. After realizing who it was she relaxed into his arms before giving him a light peck on the cheek. Sakura was hoping that those two were their boyfriends or they would have some explaining to do.
"Hey boys, there is someone who I would like you to meet." Ino said before pulling the blushing Sakura foreword. She was never one to be the center of attention, and with everyone's eyes on her she felt slightly flustered. "This is my pen pal, Sakura Haruno." Sakura gave a light wave to everyone there as Ino continued. "This is Naruto Uzumaki. He's kind of loud but you get used to it." Sakura snorted at this. "What was that supposed to mean?" Ino said as she narrowed her eyes at her friend.
"That's the pot calling the kettle black Ino-chan. Hello Naruto-san." She smiled in his direction while he smirked and waved as a greeting.
"I like her. She stands up for me, and doesn't take crap from Ino. Nice to meet you. You can just call me Naruto." He said sitting back down on his seat before pulling the blushing Hinata down to sit on his lap.
"Yea, yea." Ino muttered before rolling her eyes. "This is Neji Hyuga. As you know, he and Hinata are cousins."
"Nice to meet you as well Neji-san." Sakura smiled at him, awing silently at the way he and Tenten acted when together.
He smiled lightly at her before nodding his head. "Likewise Haruno-san. Just like for Naruto here you may call me Neji."
Sakura giggled before saying, "Okay as long as you call me Sakura. Haruno-san is pretty formal. Deal?"
Smiling and nodding his head once again he turned to Tenten, as they whispered back and forth. Sakura could tell Ino was putting it off until last as she mumbled loud enough for Sakura to hear, "And this is Sasuke Uchiha."
Sakura slightly rolled her eyes at the malice she heard in her friend's voice. "He can't be that bad." She thought as she turned to the smirking face of Sasuke.
"Hello Sasuke-san." Sakura said. Sasuke's smirk widened at this before getting closer to her. Ino made sure to keep one eye on him at all times to make sure he wouldn't do anything funny to her friend.
"Why hello, Sakura. How are you liking Konoha so far?" He asked as all of their friends around them either decided to go dance, eat, or move somewhere else.
"It's definitely colder than Sauna, that's for sure." She said chuckling. "But everyone here seams nice enough but…what are you doing?" She asked as he got close enough were they were about nose to nose. Sakura backed up slightly until her back hit the wall silently while Sasuke placed a hand on either side of her head.
"Now that the kiddies are gone, how 'bout you and me find a nice coat closet?" He asked smirking down at her, looking only at her chest.
Sakura gave him a slightly dirty look before placing a finger under his chin and pushing his face up to make him look her in the eyes. "My face is up here you know." She said, eye twitching in slight anger. "I can't believe I thought he was cute on stage!"
"Yea and so are those lips." His smirk broadened as he leaned forward in an attempt to kiss her. She quickly slipped under one of his arms freeing herself.
"I see your one of those guys with a one track mind." She glared at him slightly before placing her hands on her hips and leaning forward making sure he was looking at her in the eyes. "Just to let you know, if you ever want a girl who wont just be in it for sex, you should really change that. Despite popular belief, its not a turn on." Sakura crossed her arms across her chest before turning heal and walking back into the crowd.
Sasuke stood puzzled. No girl had ever turned him down before. "Maybe she has a boyfriend back in Sauna…but that hasn't stopped some of the girls I have slept with though…" Sasuke thought confused at the way it turned.
Sasuke stood in thought for another minute or so before his eyes snapped open as he came up with the answer. "Great…" He thought sarcastically. "She's one of those hard to get, have to impress girls, isn't she?" Sasuke let out a dramatic sigh before smirking. "Well, getting 'em when I wanted 'em was getting old. I could get into the chase." Laughing silently at his own thoughts he went back through the crowd to find his friends.
"He did what!" Ino shouted as her voice echoed of the walls of her room. The party had ended about an hour ago, and the girls were somehow able to shoo out everyone without a hassle and clean up somewhat downstairs. Currently they were sitting in a circle on Ino's bedroom floor in their pajama's with a bowl of popcorn in the middle.
Sakura nodded her head and rolled her eyes at the memory of what had happened earlier during the party. Ino stood up, scattering some of the popcorn around them. "I will castrate him. I know how to do it too! I had to help my uncle do it to his sheep when I was younger." Ino said gravely.
Sakura's eyes widened dramatically before trying to calm her friend down. "He's harmless Ino-chan. Just like a…puppy. Cute on the outside but is teething and will bite your hand."
"…Why will he bite you?" Hinata asked confused and wracked her brain trying to figure it out.
"I think," Tenten started before thinking to chose her words carefully. "The bite is a symbol of how horney he is and how he will try and… "bite" Sakura-chan…if you know what I mean." She finished with a wriggle of her eyebrows before Hinata blushed bright red and muttered an "oh".
"Yes. He is a horney little bastard and should stay away from you…and I will help him stay away from you." Ino smirked evilly before looking off into the distance as if seeing a great dream.
"Okay," Sakura sighed loudly. "We are not going to castrate him…Ino-pig." Sakura turned to her while she pouted and stuck her tongue out at the pink haired girl. "I will handle it and, if in the process, I bring him down a peg or two, that would be even better." Sakura said.
"But also," Ino interrupted while giving her friend a concerned look. "What if, in the process, you fall for him?"
"Don't worry, that'll never happen."
"Sasuke, I thought we taught you to keep your two brains separate and think with the one that resides more north." Shikamaru stated while sighing. The boys left the party after everyone else had left. They had offered to help the girls clean up but they quickly shooed them out the door saying that they will finish it.
They walked over to Naruto's house and were currently sitting on the back porch, lit only by the indoor lights that shone brightly through the back glass door. The air smelled lightly of Sasuke's Marlboro and summer air as they talked about what happened earlier.
"Hey, when I want it, I want it. I can't control my actions, I thought you knew that by now Shikamaru." Sasuke said as he took a drag and puffed out a ring of smoke.
"Yea, but now I wont hear the end of it from Ino." He sighed and mumbled something that sounded close to "women". He reached over and stole the cigarette from Sasuke's hands before taking a puff himself and handing it back to him.
"You tell Ino 'bout you taking up smoking again?" Neji asked as he gave Shikamaru a questioning look.
"Not…exactly?" Shikamaru said guiltily, before shaking his head and getting a stern look in his eye. "I thought this was the "bash on Sasuke" time."
"That is true." Naruto said as he slouched in his seat. "What was going through your head dude?"
"Exactly!" Shikamaru said. "Thank you Naruto."
"Your welcome." He smirked before looking at Sasuke like he was an idiot. "That is not how you pick up a girl like that teme. You've got to play it cool, be nice, then go in for the kill!"
Shikamaru sighed while leaning back. "That wasn't what I meant you dolt."
"How about we make this interesting though?" Naruto asked with a sly look in his eye.
"And how would we do that?" Neji asked curiously. The way Naruto always made things interesting always meant a bet, and the equals money.
"Well, Sasuke-teme is obviously going to keep trying to get with her, so I propose a bet. If Sasuke gets Sakura-chan to go to prom with him and get her to sleep with him, the ones who said that Sasuke couldn't do it have to pay those that said he could. We each put fifty bucks in the pot, and the winners divide it. " Naruto proposed the idea, while the others thought it through.
"I'm in. It's an easy way to make money." Neji said as he pulled out his wallet and placed two twenties and a ten on the coffee table in front of them. "I'm in for Sasuke to win."
"…Fine. I really am hoping you don't corrupt her; she's a good girl. I'm against the win." Shikamaru said placing a fifty on the table.
"Looks like its me and you left teme." Naruto said as he pulled out a wad of bills and placed down five tens. "Sorry dude. She's pretty tough, and I think she will resist you. I'm against the win."
Sasuke sighed as he thought the bet over. He'll have to try but… "I'm in." He said dropping his cigarette on the ground before stepping on it with the heel of his foot. "I'm for the win." He pulled out a few bill and dropped them in the pot as the boys smirked around him.
"You know, I just had a funny thought." Naruto stated as he folded his arms behind his neck in a makeshift cushion.
"You have thoughts in general." Naruto smacked Sasuke in the back of the head and watched as he rolled his eyes and pulled out a fresh stick.
"What if, in the process, you fall in love with her?" Naruto asked.
Sasuke looked at him through the corner of his eye as he flipped open his lighter and lit his cigarette. Smirking around the stick he flipped the light on and of, watching as the flame grew and deflated. "Don't worry, that'll never happen."
