Chapter 6

Annoying and Shougi

(Sakura's POV)

My head throbbed with pain. I couldn't see anything. It was black. I could feel myself being moved… or am I gliding? Someone is gripping my arms like they were dragging me.

Ugh… what happen? What did you do to us? I don't remember anything! Wait… Uchiha Sasuke. I saw him! In the flesh! Other then in my dreams! CHA!

"Sakura…" I heard Chiyo's voice say. She sounded concerned.

Meg's laughs weren't that far away.

"You're very light Sakura," I heard Meg said.

"…Chiyo? …Meg?" I asked. "What happen? How come I can't see?"

"Just breath heavily," Chiyo ordered, softly. I heard her mumbling. "Good thing I brought my journal."

I felt a cold rush on my face and arms. I decided to take Chiyo's order and started to take deep inhales and exhales.

I opened my eyes… it was all blurry and weird like. I could tell we were in a hallway, but I didn't know which. I looked up and saw a blurry and weird color of Chiyo's face.

"Keep your eyes closed!" Chiyo ordered.

I nodded hastily and kept my eyes shut.

I heard a door open and felt cold tile on my legs. My head was put against the tile on me. I felt warm hands lifting my legs up and dropping them back down, but instead of the cold tile floor I felt something soft and small like… sort of like toilet paper.

The cold rush never stopped and it was getting very cold now because of it. My throbbing headache slowly stopped and just went into a migraine.

"Okay you could open your eyes now if you want," Chiyo said.

(Normal POV)

Sakura opened her eyes and saw that she was on the floor of Chic Chick's bathroom. Meg was laughing and Chiyo was fanning her with her journal, hence the cold rush that never stopped.

Sakura looked at her legs and saw that toilet paper was indeed propping her ankles.

"What happen?" Sakura asked. She then turned to Chiyo. "Can you stop fanning me?"

"Sorry," Chiyo apologized, as she put her journal down. "You fainted so we dragged you here. Ms. Tsuande said fanning you will help with your fainting and have something to hold up your legs, but we could only find toilet paper."

"Do you remember anything?" Meg asked.

"I think I saw Uchiha Sasuke," Sakura said. "…But then again it could have been in my dreams again."

"It's not a dream. Sasuke did come in the office," Meg said. She laughed again, humorously. "And you fainted."

'Chiyo is right, she does laugh at inappropriate times,' Sakura thought to herself.

"I fainted?" Chiyo and Meg nodded. Sakura sighed in defeat. "Great, now Sasuke-kun probably thinks I'm a dork."

"No," Meg said, trying to reassure Sakura. But she bit her lip. "…He probably thinks that you're an idiot."

"Megan, don't say that!"

"But it's most likely true," Sakura agreed. "First time meeting my love of my life and I fainted!"

If Sakura had a pillow, she would scream in it.

"Come on," Chiyo said, trying to give a reassure smile. "We have the rest of the day off. Let's go somewhere and get your mind off you fainting."

"Until tomorrow where you're suppose to meet him in the recording studio," Meg mumbled under her breath.

"I have to meet him tomorrow!" Sakura exclaimed, sounding happy for some reason. "Great I could shop for something good to impress him!"

-----------------------------

It was four in the afternoon for Ino in Paris (A/N: Since Paris is nine hours earlier then LA, this is before Sakura fainted and yeah). She was currently in her room, trying on new clothes that she bought while she was shopping with her auntie.

Ino liked the clothes she bought. They were very her, which is probably why she bought them. Anyways, when she was done trying on all of her clothes, which was sort of a shock since she had lots, she just put on her night clothes and just lied on her bed being bored.

"I'm bored," Ino said to herself, looking up ant the ceiling. "I can't even count the tiles or whatever since the ceiling is pure white… I wonder if there's any fashion magazines in the library."

Ino got up and headed towards the library. If there weren't any fashion magazines in the library, which most likely won't happen since that'll be to weird, then she'll just read some random thing that might make her nap.

"I think this is the door," Ino said to herself, opening some door.

And it was luckily that door.

"If I was a fashion magazine, then were would I be in this huge library?" Ino asked herself, looking around at the bookcases. "Would I be in F for fashion or in M for magazines?"

Ino searched around the bookcases, ran through the library and searched everywhere. But there were just regular books of fiction, non-fiction, other books that Ino couldn't pronounce, some books that were in French, and other random books.

"I give up," Ino sighed probably like an hour later. "I should just read a book so I could fall asleep. Now where's that big book that had that had the French word for sleeping?"

It didn't take long for Ino to know that she was lost in the library since she was now in someplace that she didn't even know.

"It's like a maze," Ino mumbled to herself as she passed by some bookcase to reach a dead end.

Ino turned the other way to see more bookcases. She turned left and saw one of those ladders that you see in one of those old big libraries so people could slide through the books. Ino smiled.

"I always wanted to slide in one of these things," Ino smiled.

Ino climbed onto the ladder, put one hand on the end and the other hand against the wall. She pushed her hand that was on the wall and slid through the bookcase.

"Wwhhee!" Ino squealed, as she passed by all the many books. "…I sound to much like Naruto."

The bookcase ended and Ino didn't notice so she hit the end with a jolt.

"I wonder if I could climb up to the second part to see where I am," Ino said, looking up from the ladder to see a rail like thing for the upstairs part of the library probably to keep the people on the second floor to fall off.

Ino climbed the ladder and grabbed one of the rails. Ino was actually pretty good at PE so she jumped the rail pretty easily.

"Okay," Ino said to herself, looking down at the first floor library. "The door is like the opposite side of me so I should have gone straight instead of using that library ladder. So I'll just use the ladder again and go straight."

Ino was about to go back down, but she noticed something: light. Of course there was light since there was the sun, but there was windows. And since it was summer and very hot, Ino was sweaty and sadly the library was obviously not air conned.

"I could use some fresh air," Ino said to herself, smiling. She looked at the many arched windows and started to think. "Which one did Uncle Sora say opened up to a patio?"

So she walked trough each window, which each one unsuccessful. Finally at the last one, which she had to walk all the way to the other wall, she smiled.

"Finally, fresh air," Ino said, closing her eyes and opening the window.

She felt the cool wind go through her short hair, which she recently cut, and smiled again.

"Ino, what are you doing here?" a voice asked her.

'Huh?' Ino asked herself, opening her eyes since she didn't open them ever since she opened the window.

And, to her relief, saw her Uncle Sora sitting in a chair. But, to her displeasure, across from her uncle Sora was Shikamaru.

"I wanted fresh air," Ino explained, turning a light shade of pink, and backing up a bit.

She wasn't blushing because she was embarrassed. It was because of what she was wearing, which what she wore to bed: a dark blue/purple short shorts and a blue tank top. And the fact that she was sweating and feeling sticky cause of the heat wasn't helping that much either.

"How troublesome," Shikamaru commented.

If you think Ino was feeling squirm like by this, imagine how this was for her uncle Sora. Ino was like a daughter Sora and Kairi never had so it was of course awkward for him. And the fact that both Shikamaru and Ino were the same age and that they both obviously like each other, or at least that's what Kairi told Sora and claiming it's a women's intuition.

But Sora wanted the best for Ino and since Sora knew Shikamaru he would want them to get together… and so Shikamaru could stop seeing that weird blonde girl.

"I forgot I need to help Kairi with something," Sora lied. "Shikamaru, we'll continued our game later. Go play with Ino."

Before the two teens could say anything, Sora left.

Ino stared at Shikamaru awkwardly and Shikamaru just stared at her. They didn't really know what do to. They didn't even know each other expect that he was lazy and she asked to many questions.

Now Ino was never really shy around a boy, that was usually Hinata. Ino didn't know why she was shy around this guy.

'What do I do?' Ino asked herself, as played with her hands. 'I don't even know how to play…. Shougi…. Or however you say it! (Ino looked down and saw she was playing with her hands) Oh no! First like Naruto with the saying with the wwhhee and now like Hinata being shy! Oh no! What happens when I wake up and I have a big forehead like Sakura!'

"So… do you know how to play Shougi?" Shikamaru asked, trying to start up a conversation.

Ino noticed that Shikamaru was trying to stare at her face and not downwards.

"No," Ino said, still standing there awkwardly.

"Do you want me to teach you?"

"Sure," Ino said, smiling.

The tension was cut a little when Ino sat down in her uncle's seat.

Ino felt more comfortable since Shikamaru was actually not being lazy.

"So have you played regular chess before?" Shikamaru asked.

"No," Ino admitted, giving uneasy smile.

"Well," Shikamaru said, while picking showing a piece. "This is called the king. It could move one square in any direction."

"Oh," Ino said.

Ino was about to grab the piece to look at it. She was never really good with those kanji stuff. But as Ino grabbed it, Shikamaru was going to grab it so he could show where it's suppose to go.

There hands brushed up against each other.

Even though it was for just like a second, Ino couldn't help but blush. Shikamaru quickly moved his hand out of the way as Ino did to, but blush.

Ino smiled a sorry.

'This is going to be fun,' Ino thought to herself, not really knowing if she was lying or not.

-----------------------------

"Okay," Sakura said, taking a deep breath in and out as she walked through a hallway. "I can do this. I got my notepad, my led pencil, my pen just in case my led pencil runs out of led, and my camera."

Right now it was nine in the morning and Sakura was walking to the recording studio to meet Sasuke Uchiha. Sakura felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. Excitement because she was going to meet her idol Sasuke. Nervousness because she was scared she was going to make a fool out of herself… again.

The recording studio gave her the same kind of vibe. It was like you're suppose to be happy vibe but you can't help but feel scared.

'I'll be okay,' Sakura said to herself.

CHA! We'll be better then okay! We'll be great and Sasuke will love us!

'Unless he hates us,' Sakura thought. Her eyes widen. 'Oh no, what happens if he does hate us!

Maybe he hates girls that faint!'

"This is it," Sakura said, as she looked at a door that had a computer type sign that read

'Recording studio, Sasuke Uchiha'.

Sakura, nervously, knocked on the door and waited… or anticipated for someone to answer the door.

Sakura saw the doorknob move and she instantly froze. The door creaked opened and Sakura saw a guy with sliver hair put up in a funny way and was wearing a mask.

"You must be Sakura Haruno, the intern from Chic Chick," the man said.

"Yes," Sakura said, sounding a bit scared and very nervous.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sasuke's manger, Kakashi Hatake," the sliver haired man, named Kakashi,

said. (A/N: I needed someone to be the manager). "Come in. Sasuke's just recording a song."

Kakashi moved aside so Sakura could come in, and Sakura walked in and gave a small gasp.

The room was medium sized but it was what was in the room. In the room was lots of wires, some chairs, a table with some electrical stuff, and those weird box like things you see in a TV show if they go into a recording studio with all those buttons.

Sakura glanced to her right and was startled a bit. There was a door that leads to another room and there was a window that showed the other room. Inside the room was one of those studio microphone or whatever it was called, Sakura never really knew, and a stand.

A guy with raven hair and onyx eyes had huge headphones on and was signing to the microphone or whatever it was called white playing a cherry red electric guitar.

Sakura forgot all her emotions. Her fears, her nervousness, her everything. The only emotion she felt now was love.

All she could to is just stand there, gaping at Sasuke all lovey dovey like… sort of like an idiot. He was so cute, the way he was bopping his head to the beat. The way he played his guitar. The way he sang.

"Oh can't you see

I'm just being me

I can't be you

And I don't wanna be

Don't try to get

Inside my head

'Cause what you see is what you get," Sasuke sang.

(A/N: That was a part of the song "I Am What I Am" by: The Jonas Brothers)

Sakura smiled in a stupid love like way as Sasuke was playing his guitar. He looked so hot playing

his guitar.

This is a new song! Hell yeah! I get to talk to him and hear a new song! In your face Ino-pig!

"Do you want to sit down?" Kakashi asked Sakura.

"Huh?" Sakura asked stupidly. She then noticed that she was standing up and looked like a total idiot. She smiled idiotically and turned a light shade of pink of embarrassment. "Okay."

Sakura sat down at a nearby chair and watched him sing and play his guitar. He's so talented!

Sakura grabbed her led pencil and opened a fresh page in her notepad and started to write down.

Chiyo said that she'll help Sakura with writing the article and since it takes long to write an article, she just took down notes

June 11, Sunday

The Summer of the Life of Sasuke Uchiha

By: Sakura Haruno

First Day: Recording Studio

-Sasuke is recording his third album write now

-His manager, Kakashi Hatake, informs it's going to be released probably in November or October

-Sasuke looks as cute as ever. I wish he could be my boyfriend

Sakura put crossed out the last thing, knowing she shouldn't put it in her article. That and because Kakashi said for Sasuke to come out and Sakura would be really embarrassed for him to see that.

"He'll be out in a minute," Kakashi informed Sakura. "I have to go get something so I'll be back in a bit."

Sakura nodded and as the door that led to exit closed, the other door opened.

"Hi… Sasuke-kun," Sakura said, her nervous feeling coming back to her.

Sasuke took a seat next to her.

'He's sitting next to me!' Sakura squealed, excitedly.

"Hey," Sasuke greeted in his usual cool regular tone of voice.

'What do I say? What do I do?' Sakura asked herself, panicking. 'Okay, just start explaining why you're here.'

"So, I'm here to follow you around and see what's really going on in your life for the whole

summer," Sakura explained.

'You sound like a stocker,' a voice in Sakura told her.

"I know that already," Sasuke said, sort of sounding resentful.

'And he thinks that we think he's stupid!' the same voice in Sakura told her.

-----------------------------

It was six at night for Ino in Paris. Right now Ino was writing in her blog. Nothing really happen today, expect for more shopping at sightseeing, so she decided to write in the blog she created during high school.

Ino went to the computer that was in her room and went to her blog site. To log in she had to see her site first. In Ino's opinon, she thought it was a good looking blog site.

It had flowers for a background with blue color font and for a picture it had her, Sakura, Ten-Ten, and Hinata with a funny face on because it was one of those pictures in those photo booths.

Ino laughed at the picture while singing to her blog song, which of course a Sasuke Uchiha song.

She pressed the log in button, put in her password and screen name, and started to type.

June 11. Saturday

I went shopping/sightseeing again today. I bought more clothes and my auntie Kairi bought me a charm bracelet. I bought a flower charm since I love flowers and she bought me two charms: one with the Effie tower and another one with a book. I guess it was because she loves books.

That reminds me of what happened happen yesterday! The lazy guy I told you about, Shikamaru, came to my uncle and auntie's house to by Shougi with my uncle. I didn't even know about it! Anyways, I was bored that day so I went to their library to see if they have any fashion magazines and I couldn't find any.

I wanted to go back to my room but I found on of those cool library ladders. I wanted to ride on it so I got on it and did. I climbed to the second floor of the library and since the library isn't air conned, I wanted to go outside. I went outside because there's a patio and then I saw Shikamaru with my uncle playing Shougi.

I felt so embarrassed because I was dressed in my nightclothes. But before I could do anything my uncle left and said for me to play with him. Since I didn't know how to play he taught me.

When he was teaching me about the pieces, our hands touched! It might seem like nothing but while he was teaching me and we were playing, we kept on talking. I think we're becoming friends (See Sakura! I am sweet!). And I have to admit, he is cute.

But so lazy! When I made a move (in Shougi) and told him it was his turn, he was sleeping! I wanted to throw a piece at him!

Anyways, after he won for about two times Shikamaru said he had to go somewhere. We said goodbye, but something was wrong. When he left… I felt sad. I mean It's like whenever I see a Sasuke music video or movie then I want to see more.

Is it possible that I like him? But he's so lazy!

--Ino

Ino sighed as she pressed the 'post blog' button and turned off the computer. She plopped down at her bed and hugged her Pochacco stuff animal that she brought with her from home.

Sakura, Hinata, and Ten-Ten had a stuff animal from Sanrio too, but it was a different character. Sakura had Spottie Dottie, Ten-Ten has Keroppi, and Hinata has Hello Kitty. They bought it when they were six and were obessed with those characters.

Even though Pochacco from the Sanrio thing was childish, Ino still liked to sleep with it and can't really sleep without it.

"Do I like Shikamaru?" Ino asked herself out loud.

She looked down at her Pochacco stuff animal and noticed that the small little hairs on Pochacco that were sticking out reminded Ino of Shikamaru's pineapple hairstyle.

-----------------------------

Right now it just passed like twenty minutes and Sakura was sort of sad. She always thought that her meeting with Sasuke would be great and he'd fall in love with her right away. But it's been the opposite.

Whenever Sakura asked a questioned, Sasuke answered it in one answer or said it with a mean attitude. It's sort of like he held a grudge with her! And she didn't even do anything to him.

"So, do you have any best friends?" Sakura asked.

"No," Sasuke simply answered.

Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"You don't? Why not?" Sakura asked.

"Because they just want to be my friends because I'm famous," Sasuke answered.

Sakura decided to play nice and agree with him.

"I know," Sakura said, nodding and smiling. "Some people can be total fakers! I mean like…wait? Where are you going?"

By the 'I mean like' Sauke got up and started to head towards the door.

"I'm going away from you," Sasuke replied.

"What?" Sakura asked. "Why?"

"Because you're annoying," Sasuke answered.

Sasuke left as Sakura just sat there, stunned.

Annoying.

That word just echoed in Sakura's mind.

Her idol, Sasuke Uchiha, called her annoying.

He thinks I'm annoying?…

If Sakura could, she would cry. And since she can, she did.


A/N: That's the end of the chapter.

In the next chapter Sakura feels depressed and Meg and Chiyo try to cheer her up. And Hinata begins her makeover.

So please review but no flames!
