Holding Out.
Chapter 2. Hell hath no fury.
Sakura drove until her phone buzzed she sighed and pulled to the side of the road. She answered it. "Hello?"
"Sakura... Honey it's5:50 I wanted to remind you of the dinner party, dress Nicely." Her mothers bell like voice told her elegantly over the phone.
"Sure mom I might be a few minutes late, but I'll be there." She said with a small smile. She hung up after saying byes and be safe. She roared her engine and darted in front of a pissed male.
She smirked and swerved in front of cars, she was home in a matter of minutes, she ran up the large mansions stairs that led to her bedroom. Her butler Jarvis parked her motorcycle and got her Suzuki concept car, it was a deep red, with blue neon lights in front and back, a large grill with a glowing pink S.
She pulled on A high low dress, it was two inches above her knee and then cascaded down her in the back to her feet. The dress had a rhinestone belt and was a light green, almost a teal. It was a casual dress, she quickly pulled her hair up into a twisted bun, and stuck two long needle pins threw the sides, they had three jewels dangling off of the tops.
She slid on teal two inch high heeled shoes that had small rhinestones that matched her belt on them. She put on a teal eyeshadow over the blue eye shadow she previously had on, she left her mascara the same and grabbed a clear lip gloss.
She ran down the stairs grabbed her phone and it's charger, her car keys were bing held by Jarvis, she grabbed them with a quick thanks, and ran out the door, it was six-O-five. She jumped in the car started the beauty, and let the music blare.
She pressed the gas hard, and shot out of the large driveway. She sped half of the way to the strange address, when she pulled up to the large black gates, they opened and she drove forward.
The parents sitting inside heard the loud music.
"Looks like my daughter is here." Mebuki Sakura's mother said with a wary almost apologetic smile.
"Kids nowadays." Mikoto Uchiha (mother) said with a smile and waved it off.
She parked her car behind her parents, she got out and walked up the large steps to the large wooden front door, their mansion was a little bit bigger than her own. She was about to knock when a butler opened the door and gestured her inside.
Sakura walked into the living room where her Father sat with Uchiha Fugaku, Itachi Uchiha, and A strange blue man. She nodded towards the men and her father introduced her.
"This is my lovely daughter... Sakura Haruno, I'm guessing you've heard of her." He said with a proud smile while he stood up and hugged the delicate and beautiful girl.
"Nice to meet you Sakura-San." Fugaku acknowledged politely.
"Indeed Uchiha-San." Sakura said sweetly while inside she was exploding in fury, while she shook the Uchiha's hand, I wonder if they know that I punched Their son? I feel like I'm in enemy territory! How could my parents put me here with my competition.
"I'm Itachi, and this is Kisame." A man with dark hair and dark eyes like Sasuke's just longer and older introduced himself and the big blue guy. She nodded and the main Uchiha called her attention.
"You know Sakura-San, My youngest son Sasuke and his best friend are in the garage feel free to make your presence known." Fugaku Uchiha suggested with a small smile on his professional and cold face. She smiled and went through the kitchen to the garage.
She walked down the wooden stairs and saw four cars in the garage. One boy she assumed to be Sasuke was underneath the car while Naruto was working under the hood.
Her heels lightly clicked across the floor, neither Boy looked up, she made her way next to Naruto and looked in at the gears and engine. She smirked when he jumped and yelled.
"GEEZ! S-Sakura what are you doing here?" Naruto asked. She didn't even look at him before she answered.
"My family was invited over for dinner..." After Naruto sputtered out his confusion she answered.
"Haruno... My last name, my parents!" She looked at him for a moment before she looked at the engine again.
"What's wrong with the car?" She asked and took a pony tail and tied her dress up to her mid thigh, it stayed out if her way.
"Ummmm... Oh it won't start, something with the engine we think." Naruto said, after he stopped staring at her long slender legs.
"Anything else?" She asked irritated.
"The battery's also dead, and the accelerators broken." Sasuke answered while glaring at her.
"Good to see you to Uchiha." She growled and reached forward towards the oil cap. Sasuke grabbed her wrist roughly and pulled her back.
"Don't touch it you'll break something." Sasuke snapped at her, she pulled her wrist from his iron grip and her lip curled in disgust, she looked at the cars insides and recited.
"Your battery is a Mercedes Benz 300SL. So upgrade and do a 325SL not something to different just enough for a change of speed. Your oil is low, and had a whole in the side, your engine just has to be charged or jump started every now and then, it can't only run on gas because it's forth hybrid. Also something is stuck inbetween the carburetor." She said while leaning on the car and looking at the interior.
"Overall beautiful car, just from that spot by your left front light and mirror, it shows you either pissed a girl off and she took a golf club to the car or you weren't careful during a race and you swerved into a car or vise versa." She said while she squatted and examined the left light and paint, she nodded.
Her dress moved up even shorter while she squatted and Sasuke looked away from the girl. While Naruto starred.
"You know a lot about Cars, being able to tell the damage of a repeated accident and what's wrong with the car within a few moments of looking." Kisame's rough voice said from her left.
She smirked and said "I started riding bikes and motorcycles when I was five, my grandpa taught me, and my great grandfather is a ledgened Taksuki Haruno. I think I have a 325SL in the back of my Suzuki, we can go check if you want." she offered and glanced at the silent Uchiha.
He nodded and she laughed, noticing the small swell and dark colored skin on his nose. He glared and growled.
"I got you good!" Naruto started laughing with her and Itachi just smirked while Kisame let a small chuckle out.
"She's the one that hit you, I thought it would have been from some men but a small girl like her." Kisame said and Sakura smiled, naruto opened the garage, he tried to grab Sakura's hand but she roughly pushed him away.
"Don't touch me or you'll have a bruise just like your friend." She snapped as she lead them out to her car.
"WOW Sakura-chan your car it's Amazing!" Naruto said and Kisame let a low whistle out, Itachi just stared at it. She opened the trunk with voice command.
"Open trunk." It obeyed and opened she motioned for Naruto to grab the battery, that was in a box. She took off her high heels and put them in the trunk. She listened to Naruto talk while they walked back to the garage.
She hooked up the battery and got the dead bird out of the carbonator, she had a look of disgust on her face while she did so. Itachi and Kisame had left, she took a patcher and applied it to the small hole and told Naruto to start the car.
It roared to life and she smiled. "Sasuke, Naruto I see you fixed the car." Fugaku said with a cold emotionless tone, but pride shined in his eyes.
"Actually Sakura-can figured the problem out and gave us a new battery, she did most of it, beside the oily stuff." He said happily and then grumbled, but he through an arm around the said girl, she growled and he retreated.
"NARUTO! You got oil on my dress!" She shrieked.
"HUH? Oh sorry Sakura-chan!" He said and she looked at the handprint on her back, she had a small line of oil on her right cheek.
"Ugh! I have other clothes in the car." She said while glaring, she walked out of the garage and to the car. She pulled out some jean shorts, and a sparkly white T-Shirt. She went inside and changed in a bathroom.
Her hair was let down, in small waves, her bangs framed her face, most parting to the right, she looked beautiful. She walked out and Naruto jumped on her. She hit the cold floor with a warm body on top of her.
"Get off!" She said angrily while she tried to sit up. After finally getting Naruto off of her and out of her hair, the boys played a video game. Sakura Texted Neji while the mothers talked in the kitchen.
She was in the living room, listening to the boys play while texting.
"Sakura dear what are You doing?" Her mother asked sweetly.
"Texting." Sakura answered with little as possible.
"I know that but Who?" Her mother questioned on.
"Neji." She said and continued typing out how bored she was and slightly mad about being with the Uchiha.
"*sigh* those two are always together and when their not their texting." Her mother said.
" We just forgot what's feels like to be young and Inlove." Mikoto answered with a smile.
"Are they Dating." Mikoto asked.
"We've been dating seven months." Sakura joined the conversation.
"He's a good racer, is that how you met him?" Fugaku asked.
"Kind of. I actually beat him, and he took interest in me, He's the only real competition I have." She said with a small smile.
"But I've always known Neji. His cousin is my best friend." She answered happily.
"DAMMIT! I can't win! Need for speed sucks!" Naruto yelled angrily.
"Language Naruto." Mikoto scolded.
"Need for speed is easy, I've beat the game twice." Sakura said while texting.
"Marry me!" Naruto yelled while lunging at her, she swiftly rolled off the couch and stood, glaring at the blond and his undying determination to hug her.
She picked up his controller, and picked her car, she customized the engine, and the sides, she picked a pure black with white strips mustang. she started the race. She took off and while on the video screen she pressed seven buttons and her race car accelerated last the limit.
She hit eight buttons and a bridge popped up connecting her from driving around and wasting time. She finished first and picked her phone up again, and replied to Ino's long text.
Sasuke glared at the girl, Naruto stared in awe, Kisame had a smirk on his face while Itachi remained emotionless. "Let's play the other one in the basement and see if you can do so great at that one." Kisame offered slyly and she shrugged a sure.
The relocated to the basement, They started another racing game, she was having difficulties in the beginning but she found a hack and activated it, she zoomed ahead of Naruto and Kisame, soon she was tied with Sasuke.
Her phone started ringing and a loud song blared she picked her phone up not bothering to pause the game, she hit four buttons and it auto piloted for her, she answered and put it on speaker.
"Forehead! There's this sick party tonight it starts at midnight, it's on the beach! We should totally go! What'd you think?" She asked loudly.
"We have school tomorrow?" Sakura deadpanned and turned off her autopilot.
"Sooo... We've done this plenty if times! Just don't get hungover." Ino said and Sakura smirked.
"Plus your fab ex boy toy will be there." Ino chimed into the phone.
Sakura shot the phone a glance before returning to the screen.
"Which Ex?" Sakura asked and Ino laughed.
"you act like a slut you've only dated four guys! You know which one! Sai idiot!" Ino said loudly.
"And Neji's not going." Ino added.
"More reason for me not to go!" Sakura Said and turned a sharp corner.
"What happens when you two break up? Huh? I'm not saying cheat on him but flirt, don't shut down guys..." Ino said and then Asked "What are you doing?"
"Playing some video game, at a dinner party thing." She said boredom.
"Sounds like hell, I don't see why you go to those stupid dinners, who are you with this time? Another hand in marriage thing? Admirer? Friend? Asshole?
"Asshole... Defiantly the Asshole category!" Sakura said and smirked as the boys heads shot towards her.
"Uchiha Fugaku... You heard of em?" She asked.
"Yeah, has two sons, both have large egos and need a good ass kickin' why you mention them." Ino asked.
"Becasue that's the level of hell I'm in." She said and Ino laughed.
"Hahaha that's what you get for racing all the time, fame now you have to deal with assholes like that." She said.
"Shut up." Sakura growled as she passed Itachi in the video game, she had one lap to do until she won.
"Hey aren't the Uchiha's the other team you race against... One of your competitors."
"Yep..." Sakura answered.
"You sound happy!" Ino said with a laugh.
"What gave it away, my sarcastic voice or the fact that I'm reluctant to go to a party?" She asked.
"Whatever I'll pick you up at eleven. How do you plan to sneak out this time?"
"Window." She answered without thinking, she pulled past the finish line and won. She picked her phone up while Ino laughed a goodbye.
She hung up and threw her phone on the nice white couch. "Wanna play again?" She asked with a cock of her head towards the four stunned males.
Review! Please!?
