A/N Of course, once again….I have not suddenly bought out the Naruto franchise so….rest in peace….
He was walking around, trying to clear his mind after the dance. When he and Sakura sang, what was that he had felt? Was it just heat from all the bodies in the gym? Or something more? No. I don't like her. She's just another stupid fangirl.
Speak of the devil…
Sasuke nearly tripped over her. Why is she here, asleep, in the middle of nowhere? Looking down at her, he could see nothing. As the moon moved out from behind that cloud, however, Sakura's form became more defined. Looking down on her, Sasuke felt a slight blush cover his face.
Her hair outlined her head in a halo. Her face seemed so delicate, so fragile that he thought she'd shatter in the wind that ruffled the grass. After staring at her for a while, Sasuke felt stupid and left as quickly as he could, heading home. He didn't feel like walking anymore.
Sakura woke up on Sunday morning bleary eyed in the park. She had had a dream, a mysterious person had been watching over her while she slept. Then, another man came. This man was still a boy, but he was a lot like the first man. Both had this aura around them… Sakura shook her head. No time to be worrying about silly things like that!
Picking up her jacket, she stood up and tried to run only to fall flat on her face.
"Owwiee…" She moaned. My legs….they cramped up over night… Stretching a bit, she tried to go again, this time starting at a jog. When she got home ten minutes later, she was greeted by her two kitty friends, hungry and sleepy.
"I'm hooome…" She called. Both cats came stumbling down the stairs, nearly braining one another in the process. Sakura laughed and grabbed a quick bite before getting ready to jump into the shower. As she passed the phone, she looked down and noticed she had one missed call. Hmm, I wonder who called me?
Picking up the phone, Sakura looked at the caller ID. Tenten. Holding the phone up to her ear, she listened to the message.
"Hey, Sakura, it's Tenten. Neji and Hinata and I were going to go to the beach later today. We wanted to know if you wanted to come. Neji said he was going to invite some other guys, so you might find a boyfriend! Hehe, well, I gotta go. OH! We're going to the beach on the North side, if you want to meet us there by about eleven, we were going to spend most of the day relaxing. You can bring Naruto if you want…." She hung up after stating the last part maliciously.
That Tenten…Sakura thought as she put the phone down. Glancing over at the clock she saw it was 8:30. Two and a half hours…. Running back upstairs, Sakura quickly took her shower. It would take twenty minutes by bus or an hour-ish by walking.
Putting her bathing suit on, she modeled in front of the mirror to make sure it all was good. It was pink with white stripes going across horizontally. There was a bow in the center. The bottom piece had a pink, almost see through, skirt attached.
Sakura pulled a pair of jeans and a t-shirt over her suit and grabbed a bag. After stuffing a towel inside she had just enough room for her lunch and the kitty's lunch. After packing a quick bento and packing it away, she grabbed a medium/small thermos and filled it with hot milk. Eventually it would cool down.
Going out to the shed, Sakura managed to drag her bike out. It wasn't a sport or mountain bike but more of a shopping bicycle. There was a large basket on the front to put groceries, that was were she placed the cats. On the back it had a little step for someone to stand on, she guessed. Pushing it through the dirt and grass and onto the sidewalk, she sat down and began to peddle.
"Gosh," She panted, looking down at the cats, "You guys have gained a lot of weight!" Up and down hills she sped, making her way North as fast as her trained muscles would take her. The cats were nothing compared to some of the heavy loads she's had to drag along and up super steep cliff like hills.
At least it's not raining, eh?
After twenty five minutes of nearly consistent peddling, Sakura gasped when the ocean met her eyes. Riding down a long hill, she could see the few dunes that decorated the beach, the waves that pulled in and out, and the whole sparkle of the water. It was amazing. How long has it been since I last went to the beach? She wondered as the salt tinged air rushed her as she sped down like a demon.
She nearly died like a demon too.
At the base of the hill was a long, flat stretch of road before you reached the beach. Sakura gave up on trying to regain control of the peddles as they flew in wild circles. Keeping straight, she began to wonder how she would stop….Dang.
In the brief moment she closed her eyes, she nearly died.
"Hey brat, watch where you're going." Someone spat.
Owww…
"Ino, why do we have to come with you?" Shikamaru complained.
"It's not safe to be here alone. Have you heard? There's this gang up around here and I hear they're not against slaughter." Ino gave Shikamaru a grin, "So if we come across them, you can deal with the bad guys while I finish my shopping!" Skipping off, Ino starting humming a tune.
"Ah, man, what a drag. This is so troublesome."
Chouji, a little behind them munching chips, suddenly stops. "Oi, Ino, Shikamaru, you might wanna have a look at this."
"What is it, Chouji?"
"I….I think it's Sakura-san."
Both Shikamaru and Ino abruptly turned around. "WHAT!?!"
Together the three of them raced to where Chouji said he saw Sakura.
"Oh my…" Ino gasped, "It is her."
