A/N: Hi, sorry about the delay, school's been trying to kill me and I just got away today... This is a continuation from the last chapter so Sakura and co are still at the dinner... Enjoy... ;P
Dinner was going rather well according to Itachi's point of view. Nothing major had happened yet, not even when his four skater friends had shaken hands with his parents, well Sakura did manage to convince his mother, Mikoto, to bump fists with her, but other than that everything was just peachy.
"Oh god this is good." He spoke too soon. Sakura was devouring the cooked root-vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, potatoes and the like) while practically moaning in delight. "Did you cook this Mikoto?" She asked looking up at the lady of the house that was watching her like everyone else.
"Yes I did, the cook still did most of the work." The beautiful Uchiha wife said smiling at the pinkette secretly enjoying the way she was acting.
"I love home-cooking, Tobi's mom makes the best stew ever and Deidara's dad makes one hell of a fish-soup. Never been to Kisame's house though, guess I have to make a stop there one day." Sakura said slightly rambling to the air but stopped when Fugaku, Itachi's dad, cleared his throat.
"Please mind your language while in this house." He said in the same voice Itachi used when he was giving an order meant to be followed. However Sakura wasn't afraid of the older male as she was of his son so she just smiled in a slightly evil way before nodding.
"Of course, wouldn't want little Sasuke to pick up bad habits would we?" She said making said boy fume and his brother that was next to him shake his head with a slight smile on his face.
It seemed like Fugaku wasn't quite finished with the skateboarders as he turned to a still masked Tobi with a scowl. "Take of that mask boy, you should know better than to wear it while eating." There was some kind of hostility in his voice that even Tobi picked up as he leaned a bit back while nodding.
"Yes sir." Tobi's voice was slightly trembling and he pushed the mask up on the top of his head, exposing his face. It was bandaged covering his left eye and he had scars running from under the bandages and over to the right side where his good eye was.
Sakura stared at him, it wasn't the first time any of them saw his face as they had often had dinner together, but she always had the same reaction. When he smiled at her hesitantly there came a small dimple in his exposed cheek and she couldn't contain herself any longer. Jumping up she ran to his side which was next to Itachi and hugged him while yelling. "So cute!"
It seemed to surprise the Uchiha family slightly when she did that and all turned a questioning gaze to Itachi who only shrugged. "She's special." Was his explanation as Sakura skipped back to her seat between Kisame and Deidara.
Dinner resumed in silence for a while and it wasn't until the desert was brought forth that Fugaku broke it. Looking straight at Sakura he spoke up. "You look familiar girl, what did you say your last name was?" He demanded rather than asked. The pinkette smiled at him.
"I didn't." Was her only reply as she turned back to her chocolate cake, shaking a little in her movements when she started eating again, thankfully only Kisame noticed and choose not to comment on it.
"Her name is Sakura Haruno father." Sasuke suddenly said, making the pinkette grip her fork tighter and her jaw clench. Her name seemed to ring a bell in the Uchiha parents heads as they turned their attention to Sakura with interest.
"The famous Haruno family in Mist? Are you their daughter?" Mikoto was the one to ask, watching the pinkette as she scowled. "There are many Haruno's out there, I have a large family and I don't even know half of them so I might be related to the ones you're talking about." Her voice was forced and she didn't look up from her plate.
"I heard they died in a plane crash leaving their only daughter behind. I can't seem to remember her name though." Fugaku said looking at the pinkette like he was expecting her to break down or something. Sakura only forced a smile while looking at him.
"That must be my cousin Sasame, I think she's the only one my age that lives somewhere in Mist, there is also Moegi though but she's at least three years younger than me." Sakura said her hands balled up in fists in her lap, out of sight from everyone.
Suddenly there was a loud beep coming from Sakura's right making the attention shift from her to the blond boy next to her as he picked up his phone. "Oh, I'm sorry but I have to go now, my date is here." Deidara said pleasantly as he stood up nodding to Itachi's parents on either end of the table. "Thank you for having me over, it was great." He said before turning around and walking out the door with both Itachi and Sakura behind him.
As they were walking towards the door Sakura noticed that for some reason everybody were following them, most likely curious (Tobi, Kisame and Sasuke) or just polite and showing/walking him out (Fugaku and Mikoto).
"Please tell me it's not another date with one of those girls." Itachi pleaded, thinking back to every date the blond boy had ever gotten. Quiet, creepy and slightly goth or emo, every single one of them.
"Oh no, this one is nothing like those other dates. They don't even compare." Deidara said gleefully making Sakura giggle slightly and momentarily forget the earlier conversation. "I hope so, I was starting to suspect that you were trying to recreate Itachi in those girls." She teased only for Deidara to scowl and throw open the front door.
"Not Itachi, him." He said, pointing at a red head leaning against the black Toyota Celica parked outside on the house. He was just slightly taller than the blond and his eyes were a cold brown color that Sakura noticed warmed up as soon as he saw Deidara and smiled at him.
As the blond skipped down to the red head Sakura heard Mikoto murmur from behind her. "I thought Deidara was a boy." Biting her lip so she wouldn't giggle she heard Kisame say. "He is." At the slightly surprised 'oh' that came from the Uchiha wife Sakura slapped a hand over her mouth so she wouldn't burst out laughing.
As the pair next to the shiny car kissed lightly Itachi and Sakura both glanced at the rest of his family noticing that only Fugaku was slightly put out by seeing the two very much males together.
"Well I guess I'll be going now too, Dei promised to drop me off when he went on his date." Sakura lied through her teeth, desperate to get away from the questions that were sure to start again once they were back inside. "It was nice coming here Mikoto, Mr. Uchiha, Sas-gay." She said waving as she grabbed her board and skipped down the stairs before jumping in the car as the red head started it.
"Ignore me and drive." Sakura ordered when he glared at her through the side mirror.
"It's alright Sasori; we'll kick her out once we're out of sight." Deidara said knowing that Sakura only wanted to get away from the prying parents of Itachi.
"Just the next turn or something, Temari lives just a few minutes away from here." Sakura told him, leaning back in her seat while plucking at one of the wheels on her board.
Turning his head so he could see her, Sasori asked. "Do you know Temari?" There was slight surprise in his voice making Sakura study his face a bit closer as realization dawned up on her.
"Yeah, Tem's my best friend. You look a lot like Gaara now that I think about it. Are you related to them?"
"They're my cousins." He said finally turning his eyes back on the road. "I'll drop you of at their place since it's on the way anyway." He then offered. The rest of the drive went by in silence until they came to a stop in front of the Sabaku siblings' house.
"Thanks Sasori, Deidara." Sakura said as she stepped out but then she leaned back in and whispered loudly into the blonds' ear. "You snatched yourself a cutie; I'd hang on to him if I were you." The pinkette laughed when both boys blushed but quickly shut up when Deidara shot back. "So you think Gaara is cute, huh?" At that she slammed the car door and walked up the path to the front door murmuring about cheeky blonds the entire way.
A/N: I really have noting to say, soooooo, please review... ;P
