"I dare you to make out with Sasuke right here and right now until…" she paused to think before continuing, "… until the pizza comes."
… Despite the embarrassment, I couldn't help but enjoy the feeling of his lips on mine. It was soft and made me feel like I was a feather. If I wasn't holding on to his shirt I would have most likely fell already. The kiss felt so right… it felt so good… I wonder if he feels the same way.
Chapter 10
Xx Sasuke's P.O.V xX
Damn it… I seriously wonder if I have good luck or bad luck. Sakura was now kneeling next to me as she clung onto my shirt for support. The feeling was seriously unimaginable. It completely feels like a dream. I vaguely open my eyes to look at her face to only see her shut her eyes tightly as her face was deep red. This made me unexpectedly more aroused than before. She's just so irresistible…
Ding! Dong!
I snapped out of my gaze and the two of us pull out of the kiss. Sakura was still blushing and I was pretty sure that I was blushing as well even if it was the slightest.
"Aww, that was just a minute!" Ino whined as she got up to open the door.
"Don't forget the dare Ino," Neji said demandingly.
"Yeah yeah."
When Ino opened the door to find a young man with messy red hair holding boxes of pizza. She took the boxes and thanked him as she started flirting with him. From the looks of it, Ino didn't mind and has flirted with this guy before since they both seemed to know each other pretty well. But even so Shikamaru still seemed a bit aggravated.
"Hurry up!" Naruto whined. But it was kind of expected… we're ALL starving.
"Ah sorry," she apologized. "Well see you next time."
Ino took the boxes to the glass table where we were sitting around. We started eating as we continued to talk and dare each other with now mild things. Its funny how they were all so dramatic and hard dares until the one Sakura and I had to do. Talking about Sakura, I stole a glance of her from the corner of my eye. She was smiling again as she ate her slice.
"Anyways Uchiha did you get the schedule for the qualification tournaments yet?" Neji asked seriously.
" Aa."
The qualification rounds are basically to eliminate schools that don't have a chance in the tournament, but some people call it the district tournaments since all the districts in Japan has schools go to their own tournament to make it easier. Next, would be the state tournaments where the people that advance from the district goes to. And finally, there is the Nationals that every school is mainly aiming for.
Xx Sakura's P.O.V xX
Neji suddenly asked about the schedule for the district tourney, which sparked my interest. So I got a second slice of my favorite cheese pizza and decided to ask, "So what is the draws?"
"Curious are we?" Neji sighed.
"So what and besides I'm not the only one that's curious."
"Whatever. So how was it?"
"It might not be that hard, we're going to go against Mitaka. They're not really a hard school considering how we crushed them last year. But either way, we cant underestimate them," Sasuke explained.
"So who's in Mitaka high?" Ino asked.
"I don't remember the names of everyone but there are 3 people that we should watch out for. Single player…" I zoned out a bit since the names didn't stick out much to me. That was until he said HER name.
I jumped out of my focus for my pizza and stood up as I asked, "Kurotsuchi Nana?"
"Huh? Yeah why?" Naruto asked suspiciously.
"N-nothing, it's just that the name was strange to me. Hehe," I said nervously while I tried to laugh it off.
They just looked at me weirdly and I just shut up as I continued to eat my slice.
Kurotsuchi Nara, she's a year older than me meaning that she would be a sophomore this year. Back in middle school she used to be a starting player from Hokkaido Public Academy. She moved latter on to Tokyo but I never saw her since. She's dangerous. Just like Sasuke said we need to watch for her. I don't know about her teammates but this girl knows the human body well enough to make damage by the way she makes you run. But if she's going to play singles than it's no problem, since the girls have strong bodies, it'll take a lot to make them fall. But in doubles… it's harder to notice what she's doing. From the looks of things, the others don't really know about her ability since they seem to be relaxed about it. Maybe last year when they played against each other, she didn't use that method. But I don't think it's a good thing, they might take us by surprise.
I was still deep in thought when Ino suddenly splashed me with freezing cold water.
"What the fuck?!" I yelled as I got up from the shock.
Ino and the others were practically armed with water balloons, water bottles and water guns. When in the world did they even fill those things up?! Ino also had a wicked smirk on her face that seriously made me worry.
"Get up Saks we're in an all out war! Boys versus girls!" she yelled as she threw me some of the water supplies. Before I knew it I was dragged out of the room into Ino's backyard. We hid in trees and bushes as the guys ran after us into the back yard. This makes me feel as if I'm still a little kid… who the hell still has water fights at this age?
"Why are we doing this again?" I asked the girls in a hushed voice.
"To have fun," Ten-chan explained a matter of factly.
"Also you looked d-deep in thought, s-so we decided to do something rather crazy to push your thoughts away," Hinata continued.
"Yeah! So Saki you better get ready to get wet this will be fun!" Ino suddenly yelled.
This made the three of us shriek in anger. She just blew our cover since the guys must have heard us. That stupid pig, what was she even thinking?!
"You guys really don't know how to hide do you?" asked a smirking Sasuke from behind us.
"Gahhh!" I screamed as I jumped up from surprise, the other three just ran as if their lives depended on it. I took out the water gun that was given to me by Ino and sprayed Sasuke in the face before running off.
This was definitely hectic… I couldn't believe my idiotic actions. How could I just have panicked and just shoot him like that?! What happened if the gun was actually a real gun? "Ugh, why am I so absent minded today?" I asked myself as I deadpanned.
"That was not very nice, Sa-ku-ra,"Sasuke said as he snuck up behind me.
"T-that was an accident!" I yelled as I tried to run away.
"Accident my ass!" He growled as he grabbed my hand and poured the freezing cold water on me yet again. Now I really was soaked. But even so they were right this was actually fin despite it being childish.
"You bastard!" I choked out. He was still holding onto me wrist when I continued to squirm. We had an all out water fight with the unoccupied hand that we had.
"You started it," he smirked as I was drenched once again. I looked up to find Naruto and Neji up in the tree dumping a bucket full of water on me… Did they gang up on me from the very beginning?
"You loose Sakura-chan, give up!" Naruto cheered. "One down three to go!"
"Who said that I was giving up you idiot!" I glared at the three boys that were around me. That's right I'm not going to give up! When have I ever done such a thing anyways. I took my water guns and squirted the water straight at his face making his vision blur and meanwhile letting go of my hand. I took out another water gun as I sprayed them in the face, taking them off guard. I ran while they were still shocked and found Ino hiding in a tree on the look out for the boys.
"Ino," I called out in an audible whisper.
"Saki! Where have you been? I thought they got you, and why are you soaking wet?" she asked in surprise.
I climbed up the tree to a branch near Ino's. "I WAS captured. I just managed to escape… Where are the others?" I asked seriously.
"I'm not sure but they must be hiding I hope they're not captured too." She said as she continued to look around the backyard for any signs of the guys. To be honest, I really can't believe that we were actually taking this serious. I jumped down from the tree and went to search for Hinata and Ten-chan. When we got together again we continued to fight for who knows how long, but either way it was still fun. It also turns out that Shikamaru was hiding inside so he doesn't have to get wet and is able to sleep… What a lazy guy…
Xx Sasuke's P.O.V xX
After we finished chasing each other around with water guns, water balloons, and what-not, we went back inside and changed into another pajama deciding to just where what we wore today for tomorrow night since we have all weekend and those wet clothes needed to dry.
We now sat on the couches, while some of us decided to sit on the floor. Neji and I sat on one couch, while Hinata, Ino, and Shikamaru sat on another, and on the floor sat Sakura who was sitting under me, Naruto lay in front of the T.V with Tenten. We were all waiting for the movie to officially begin. There were three bowls of popcorn. There was one in between Tenten and Naruto, while Ino and I held one to share with the other two that sat by us.
Ino put in 'the Conjuring,' since we still had a lot of time, we decided to just spend the rest of the night watching movies. The movie started and it turns out that some of the girls here weren't exactly good at watching horror movies. And that included Ino and Hinata. They were hugging each other and shutting their eyes tightly closed as if their lives depended on it. Naruto as well looked pretty frightened, as for now he was no longer lying down but holding his knees close to himself and rocking back and forth while muttering a mantra. Neji and Shikamaru just snickered at their antics. I, myself couldn't help but chuckle as well. Ino was the one that asked us if we wanted to watch this, and Naruto was the one that was the most eager to watch this…
On the other hand the other two females seemed to actually enjoy the gruesome movie. I expected that attitude from Tenten but definitely not from Sakura. But either way, I was actually hoping that she would be afraid so that I can-
Never mind what I was going to say…
I continued to watch as I ate the popcorn with Neji and Sakura. Soon she got up from her spot and sat on the couch next to me. As soon as the movie ended, Ino jumped up of her seat and put on 'Despicable Me 2'. It was kind of funny which made every one feel more relaxed than the horror movie.
It was already 10 when the movie ended as well and we all just chatted among ourselves and got the blankets, pillows and some sleeping bags down before we slept. We talked for about an entire hour and the chats were pretty carefree. The girls talked about girl stuff shamelessly in front of us, while the boys talked about future games this season.
"Hey about the district tourneys did you guys play against Mitaka last year?" I heard Sakura ask as she joined into our conversation.
"Yeah, why?" Shikamaru asked.
Xx Sakura's P.O.V xX
"Nothing, just curious. So are they really good?" I said trying to keep them from suspicions.
"Hmm… they're not really that good and they barely have any strong parts they're pretty normal," Shikamaru said thoughtfully.
"Is that so?" It seemed pretty suspicious considering that Nana hasn't used her power yet. Is it that she can't use that technique any more or is it that she just chooses not to use it? Either way, should I tell them or not?
"W-we should get some sleep now, i-it's pretty late already," Hinata suggested.
She was right it was already 12:00, and tomorrow we had a big day ahead of us considering we're at Ino's place. She probably has a whole day already planned for us.
"Ok~ lets talk about this tomorrow," I said as I went to sleep on the blanket and pillow I was provided with. Next to me on my right was Sasuke, Ino somehow got him to sleep next to me. I laid down and thought about the things that happened today. And as I did that I blushed heavily remembering the bet that Ino made me do. Today was seriously a long day… and tomorrow will be an even longer day. I just know it…
