One Night Standing
Sapphire: First of all, inspiration for this chappy goes to Love2Hate for reviewing and offering a great idea. ^.^. I couldn't have thought of anything better so, why the hell not?!
Sakura: Hmm, bribery? Would they really stoop that low…
Sapphire: Hey! Don't ruin the chapter!
Sakura: I guess so, well, Sapphire-chan doesn't own Naruto….
Check it Out:
~Sakura and other people talking: "Here…"
~Inner Sakura: "Like This."
~Sakura arguing with Inner self: "This way…"
~Regular words: Same as talking but w/out quotes…
Previously:
Plus, some bad news slash good news is that I can go back into the freakishly pissy weather to wait, "Oh joy."
Presently:
Yeah, that's all I could sarcastically say as I was deicing whether or not to head back now to the ticket line or wait.
Depicting to myself whether the crappy weather will blow over or get shittier was a tough topic…wonder who was the sadist god that brought this upon me?
"Hey, Sakura, looking good." Ino commented, giving me the thumbs up sign, and all I did was roll my eyes dramatically and plopped down into the closest chair.
"What a waste…all that delicious treats I mean." Inner sobbed uncontrollably, whispering pleas to spare the donuts next time.
"Pathetic demise, I say." I retorted, kinda upset that I didn't get a taste of the cinnamony deliciousness. Now that I think about it, I haven't had anything to eat since I left this morning…I'll just order some more, ha!
So, avoiding the looks I was still receiving from the guys, yeah, Naruto included, I fixed the hat that was fit snuggly on my head and approached a different worker while Shay continued to mop vigorously at the mess.
"Hmm, I'll have a medium hot chocolate, umm, a chocolate chip cookie and two fudge brownies, please." I ordered, I was in the mood for chocolate at the moment.
A weird craving it is, to want to eat numerous chocolate dishes and wallow in its shameless presence. Other than that, the chocolate chip cookie was huge!
It must be the size of a cantaloupe or Naruto's head, may I enjoy chomping down on his crumbly brain. Muahahaha! Whoops, evil moment.
I flipped out my wallet, previously Hidan's, to pay for my second round of delights. Ehh, all I could say was they should price these higher, they act like its nothing special.
"Hey, give me my fucking wallet!" Hidan rumbled again, disturbing the peace.
"Eh, shut the hell up." I retorted because seriously, a hectic day would be an understatement at this point. I've been through hell and back, literally. Insert the pedophile and boiling coffee too.
I grabbed my order and had the cookie in my mouth, the chocolate in my left hand, and a small box of brownies in my right. Now, I shouldn't have any difficulties, right? Wrong, yet again.
Deidara ran up to me and leaned down so the only thing that kept our noses from touching was the giant six inch cookie that protruded from my mouth.
He smirked and took a bite from the chocolate chip heaven and I just glared. What else could I do? That blonde jerk just bit my cookie!
I back up slightly and came in contact with a chair that I oh-so brilliantly tripped over. Except that this time, the hot chocolate was only luke-warm and landed not on me but a poor elderly woman. Yeah, should've guessed I'd end up spilling it…
"Yackk! Why I outta sue you! You little whipper snappers!" She began screeching like a banshee straight out of hell. I felt a headache coming on as I pushed off Deidara, picked up my safe boxed brownies, and flipped the old lady the bird.
Hidan nearly exploded with howling barks of laughter and even Itachi chuckled at the lady's reaction which was a twitching eye and a stomp to my foot. Then, she made her great escape…out the front door.
"…Oookay." I said in confusion, The grandma slippers she wore did no damage whatsoever but it was awkward. I sighed in defeat and dumped myself into the seat across from Ino.
"Wait a god damned second, where is my cookie?!" I scanned through everyone and to my left I caught an image of Deidara enjoying my cookie.
He smiled his innocent smile and walked towards me where my mouth was agape in astonishment. He had the guts to eat my baked delight?! He stuck the cookie back in my opened mouth like nothing happened too.
I closed my mouth and crossed my eyes to look down at said cookie…wait, he stuck the wrong side in my mouth! Ew! He put the bitten side into my mouth, Deidara spit and all!
But, then again, haven't I had Genma's tongue in my mouth and his gum? Forget it! I don't care, I damn hungry!
I looked up momentarily as Ino began to speak, "Well, this has all been interesting and shit so we'll just be leaving now…" With that said, Ino dragged a sleeping Nara and a reluctant Naruto out of the shop and throwing them into the iced over truck.
They sped off into the midnight streets as I just sat there unfazed.
I leisurely began to nibble at my overload of chocolate chips and sweet crumbly-ness and someone sits down next to me. It was Sasori, holding another hot chocolate.
"Hey, Sakura. What would you say if I'd just give you a ticket and backstage pass in return for a favor?" He asked, now that was something actually worth listening to!
I looked him straight in the eye, depicting whether or not he was lying, when my Inner popped out of her Emo corner.
"Hey, hey, hey! Maybe Karma has been a bitch but Luck might not be such a priss." She stated too enthusiastically. But, who wouldn't! What little favor could he possibly want…
He handed me the drink and I took it out of respect and hunger. I was sipping on the delectable hot cocoa when he answered my question I'd been asking myself.
"All you have to do is be my girlfriend." …Yeah, I kinda spit my whole mouthful of hot chocolate all in his face, my bad…
"Wh- wha- what?!" I stuttered in disbelief. I mean, there is no way he is for real about this offer is he?!
"Hmm, I think I made my proposal clear. So, what is it gonna be, Sa-ku-ra." He said hotly. But, I didn't get to answer because that's when Deidara pushed in.
"There's no damn way she'd go out with you when she's gonna be my girlfriend!" Deidara yelled, successfully spitting in Sasori's face as he spoke.
To my amusement, they started fighting. Hell, all the action I've seen all day is myself running away and beating the shit out of people.
This is kinda, hot, you know two hot rock stars in your favorite band fighting over you, a very nice change of pace if you ask me.
"What the fuck is wrong with you two?! If she is dating any fucking person it's gonna be fucking me you loser fucks!" Hidan cut in with a like three fucks in the same sentence.
Just as I was about to say something, Deidara yelled food fight and I had this weird flashback about highschool…
Flashback:
Hinata, Naruto, Shikamaru, Ino, Kiba, and I were walking in the lunch line to well, our lunches. It was a Wednesday so the food was this shitty meatloaf and mash potatoes mess and we all groaned.
We sat down at our regular table and began talking, "Hey, I swear I just saw that piece of mystery meat move." Kiba awkwardly stated as he poked at it with his fork.
"This stuff is nasty. There's no way they couldn't have got ramen instead?!" Naruto complained as I watched the band members walk into the cafeteria.
I had always been interested in music and writing lyrics, but I'd never be able to compete with them. Let alone, my singing is shitty.
"Hey, Sakura? You want this? It's supposed to be pudding but it may just be mud. You do have the toughest stomach since you eat all that spicy food." Ino offered as she extended her reach so the bowl was right in my face.
I looked down in disgust, grabbed the bowl and threw it across the lunchroom, thus making the concoction land in Neji's hair.
Neji was pissed at the pudding making his usually flawless hair sticky and Deidara and Kisame were laughing their asses off while Hidan began rolling on the ground, clutching his stomach.
Neji thought it was one of them and began flinging pudding and fruit at them, then Deidara yelled, "Food Fight!" And everyone at our group except for Shikamaru, Kiba and Naruto dunked under the table.
Kiba and Naruto were too busy fighting with others and Shikamaru was sleeping through it all until Ino yanked him under the table with a spoon glued to his forehead.
We heard a screaming from the Akatsuki and everyone's laughs as Tsunade appeared pissed and ready to blow…
Flash Back Ends:
Okay, well, I was now under a table along with Uchiha and Shay, watching the events turn and muffins flying around.
Okay, so maybe they are so mature but hey, we've only graduated like a year ago, old habits die hard ya' know.
I was ready to get out once I heard Shay muttering something about going in debt to kick every one's ass that was throwing food when Itachi grabbed my wrist.
I didn't have any time to react, as in scream, because he crashed his lips onto mine. I was in between the lines of disgusted and angry because of various reasons. One, I hate Uchihas. Two, he's licking my face. And Three, he's Itachi!
Damn these tables for being short because every time I switched positions to escape, I just ended up in a worse situation, Itachi being on top of me. So, as I waited for the guys to save me or Shay, I just stayed put and thought over Sasori's offer.
"You know, if you just say yes to be his girlfriend, grab the ticket and pass, and say it's over, you'll live a happy life…" Inner stated, bringing up one option, a smart one at that.
"Yeah, I could but what are the chances of me ever having a boyfriend anyways? It is not like I flirt all the time like Ino and Sasori just came out of the blue. I mean sure I could be deceitful and then be conceited about it but, that isn't my style, you know?" I threw back, man, this was tough but I think I should just go out with him.
Reasoning is, I'd never have to wait in a line to a concert again, I'd have a boyfriend, and hey, he's rich! Now, if only I could get Itachi off of me and stop them before they ruin all the precious food!
Itachi was too busy trying to get my jacket unzipped, so I need a strategy, or I could just scream. Yeah, screaming good, thinking bad.
"Sasori-kuuun! Help!" I screeched in my most feminine voice and loud enough to send Itachi's ears ringing.
Of course you can say I take advantage of being a woman at times, but it'll only be half true. I admit, being a female has its ups and downs as all girls know anyways.
But, the fact that I don't rely on people all the time makes me independent, and in such rare occasions as now, I push that aside and be saved.
Normal Point of View
Sasori quickly dropped the sugar glazed donut he was about to throw at Hidan and pushed the small café table over and slung Itachi off of me, very manly like.
He wrapped his arms around Sakura's petite waist and lifted her up to his height, and said, "I'll take that as a yes." And kissed her down passionately and smirking.
Sakura's Point of View
He was kissing me, actually kissing me. Naturally I would have kicked him in the groin again for trying to make a move on me but, seeing as though he's now my boyfriend, I guess I shouldn't.
After a while, he broke the kiss and he stood there, holding me by the waist. I have an idea, it may get me killed, but hell, I am a dare devil and I love a good challenge.
"So, Sasori-kun, you're gonna give me a ticket and backstage pass, right?" I began in my sweet, too-innocent voice, he only nodded his head and continued to looked at me but with one eyebrow raised.
"I'm gonna just take the ticket and pass but I'm going to still wait in line m'kay? I still have to prove Ino-pig wrong." He seemed kinda, well, shocked at my decision and the others were too busy moping while mopping.
Yeah, I guess Shay is finally taking charge and making them clean up the wrecked café/coffee shop/bakery.
"May I ask, why?" I knew that was coming, who wouldn't ask? I considered the facts that it is around two in the morning and they don't start selling tickets till eight and the fact that it's belong freezing outside, sure.
I've also measured my chances of Ino ever living this done too, so my conclusion is clear. I must wait out all of the misery and complete my mission. Hell yes!
Sapphire: Okay, so now there's a SasoSaku relationship in the mix. There's still six hours to wait plus how ever long until see makes it to the stand…will she make it or will an Uchiha bring her down, yet again???
Sakura: Yeesh, okay, review and keep on reading.
Sapphire:Yep. Oi and thnx again to Love2Hate for the idea!!!
