AN: First of all this part is specifically addressed to -DramaQueen, who happens to be one of my favorite authors on this site *dances* lol anyway, thank you for the really long review with some rather helpful thoughts. But what I really want to touch upon is the Kabuto comment. For the love of all that is pure and good, I would rather stab myself in the eyes like Oedipus before I would ever say that Kabuto is sexy. Good Lord that is disgusting haha. *shivers* He gives me the chills. I completely agree with you, I don't find him remotely, sexy, cute or anything at all. However I need Sakura to view him as something of the sort for the plot line. It'll all unveil itself soon enough. Depending on what you call soon with how slowly I've been updating XD.
Speaking of my horrible updating skills, um it's been a long…couple of months. My senior year started off with a flop and I'm just trying to readjust myself, whilst shifting through all the crap my teachers have been giving me. Also I got into a car accident in December so I was completely thrown off by that with court and tickets and crap and then there was applying for colleges ( got accepted into Montclair in Jan. So if anyone is going there maybe I'll see you…. but you probably won't know it's me XD). My 18th Birthday was in February…oh shiz I should update my profile V.V…later ;P Also work sucks, I hate my job which takes up most of my weeknights and weekends . But hopefully I'll be able to update more than every couple of months lmao! (This AN was written um in April I believe)
Anyways like I said in a previous AN, I plan on making this a rather long fic, with some interesting twists to it, so yes there will be angst. So just sit back and hopefully enjoy the ride. =P
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year…and despite my utter hatred for the holiday, happy Valentine's Day, Happy Saint Patty's, Happy Mother's day to any moms XD…Just Happy Holidays…any holidays that I missed.
Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own Naruto = (…..But I own this so WOOT!

University of Konoha
Chapter 5: "Nightmare"
...
Feet shuffled impatiently against the carpet. Back and forth they paced within the same vicinity in front of the couch. A young dark haired man gently laid down the source of all the drama.
Onyx eyes stared curiously down at the innocent face angled slightly to the side. He sighed and ran a hand through his thick silky hair, letting it slide back down in front of his face as he straightened up into a stance. So many questions began to come to mind as he gazed passively at his female roommate.
One in particular, was pertaining to the idiot pacing and blabbering off to himself. Sasuke tilted his head to the side, giving Naruto a profile of his face. His eye brow twitched as the blonde continued to panic.
"Oh man, why does this keep happening to me? Have I become so good looking that every girl I know must faint at the sight of me? Wait-" Naruto stopped and lifted a finger to the side of his face before he proceeded with, "No…I've always been this cute." He gave a wolfish grin before his face grew serious and he started moving once again.
Sasuke's once flat stare grew irritated within seconds. "Naruto shut the hell up and focus!" The blonde paused and shot a look towards his friend. This gave Sasuke enough time to begin questioning the imbecile before he grew nervous once again. "How do you know Sakura?"
"…" Naruto blinked as if not hearing or seeing Sasuke.
"Dobe I asked you a question-"
"Sakura-chan is your roommate?" Sasuke stared before nodding.
"Aa"
"And you've… slept with women whilst she was in the apartment?" Sasuke didn't like where this was going. He continued to stare at his best friends' rather emotionless expression and opted for not answering. However that was an answer enough for Naruto.
"You are a fucking sick bastard!" The blonde reached up and was about to lunge for Sasuke when suddenly a soft groan resonated from behind the Uchiha. Both men froze.
"Wha-What happened?" The disgruntled sounding question came from none other than the blossom lying on the couch. Sasuke pivoted back around; meanwhile a still seething Naruto peeked around his shoulder.
"Sakura-chan, are you okay?" Naruto called cautiously, afraid that if he moved or spoke to quickly he would startle her again.
"N-Naruto-kun…is…is that-?" Her whisper faded as she blinked, thick black lashes fluttering rapidly like pretty, pretty butterfly wings. She swallowed, clearing her throat. A sliver of pink darted onto her lips, unconsciously gaining the unwarranted attention of the Uchiha in front of her. "Naruto is that you?"
Said person pushed rather roughly against his now irked friend in order to get to his favorite blossom.
"I'm right here Sakura-chan? Are you okay?" Sakura continued blinking as she slowly sat up. Warmth met her backside when Naruto used his palms to gently usher her into an upright position. Lifting a petite hand to her forehead the girl hesitantly spoke.
"Oh Naruto-kun I had such a horrible dream. I dreamt that I came home and you were in my apartment with my womanizing roommate as if the two of you had known each other for years." She ended with a tiny shudder. Inhaling slowly and blinking whilst waiting for a reply. However her reply never came. She blinked again as she was met with silence for a moment before a low snigger came from the depths of Naruto's throat.
"Womanizing roommate huh?" The voice unfortunately did not belong to Naruto.
Sakura's head shot up and whipped to the side. Green clashed immediately with annoyed black irises. Her mouth fell open with a tiny pop and her eyes widened considerably. It was a sight, that despite Sasuke's increasing annoyance, he found incredibly sexy.
"S-Sasuke-kun I…" She flushed as she pressed herself flat against the couch cushion. He averted his gaze from her to Naruto.
"You two know each other?"
"Yeah Sakura-chan is Tsunade-san's god daughter."
Sasuke's eyebrows shot up. "Jiraiyas', Tsunade?"
Naruto simply nodded. "We've known each other since we were children, but we only got to see each other whenever I visited Tokyo for the summer."
Sasuke nodded. That made a lot of sense. Despite the fact that the majority of the Uchiha Corporation resided in Tokyo, Nihon, Sasuke and his family lived in Osaka. Mikoto and Fugaku had wished to keep their children out of the spotlight and provide them with normal lives. Fugaku, being the possessive and controlling man he was, found it hard to trust anyone except Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze.
Kushina Uzumaki and Sasuke's mother Mikoto went to college together and from then on became inseparable. Kushina was there for Mikoto during the times when Fugaku could not be when she became pregnant with Itachi. Years later Mikoto conceived Sasuke and Kushina followed just months' after with Naruto.
Anyways Naruto and Sasuke grew up together. However every summer Naruto would travel to Tokyo to live with his godfather. Maybe that was when they met.
Sakura scratched her temple lightly. "We were ten ne Naruto-kun?"
He nodded eagerly with a large childlike grin. "Yup, it was the first time Jiraiya introduced me to granny at your family's barbeque." he pause, "How is your family by the way?"
She shrugged, "They're fine, I need to call my mom soon but that's beside the point! What are you doing here? How do you know him?" She jerked her thumb in Sasuke's direction to which he rolled his eyes.
Naruto grinned at Sakura's expression. "Who? Teme? I grew up with him in Osaka. We went to school together and graduated together." He paused, his playful expression turned mocking. "If you had come to my graduation like I asked you to then you would have met him sooner."
Sakura blushed lightly and bit her lip. "You knew why I couldn't go Naruto. I'm sorry-"
A raised hand halted her speech, "Sakura-chan I'm just joking around it's no problem at all. Besides," He chuckled to himself, laughing at an internal joke, "I couldn't go to your graduation either. I was away. So we are even." Using his already out reached hand, he extended it just a bit further to pull the girl into a tight embrace.
Giggling quietly to herself Sakura sunk further into Naruto's warm hug. It had felt like an eternity since she last held him. She missed the security of his stalwart arms.
Ignoring the blazing glare burrowing into his back, Naruto continued to hug his female friend for a few more seconds before disrupting their hold by pulling away.
Gazing down at her face he smiled. "Ah you've changed since I've last seen you."
Her lips curled upwards at his tone. "As have you," She murmured whilst quickly glancing at the manly figure before her.
"Are we done with this lovey dovey shit?"
Two heads snapped in the direction of the angry male standing near the couch. Sakura's brows furrowed.
"Just because you are a man-whore with no heart does not mean you can stomp on our parade. I haven't seen Naruto in a while so shove it jerk!" Sasuke's face remained expressionless but his jaw had tightened slightly and the anger emanated from his coal orbs in waves. Naruto on the other hand couldn't help but snigger.
"She's right teme take that stick out of your ass and relax. You can have me all to yourself later."
Sasuke glared pointedly. "I'd rather have someone else." A small smirk formed.
Naruto's mouth dropped open and a blush leaped onto the once irked face of Sakura. Staring she huffed and turned her head in the other direction, crossing her arms defiantly over her chest. At the same time, Naruto let go of her completely only to step in front of her and lifted his fist. "Now you listen to me Teme-"
Grumble
Pause.
A soft embarrassed giggle echoed from the tip of Sakura's lips. Raising a hand to the back of her neck she rubbed it awkwardly and averted her eyes from the two males. Landing her gaze upon something in the corner a smile blossomed onto her face.
"My snacks, I better grab these and head to my room and study." She gripped the bag, ready to dash off when a voice stopped her.
"But Sakura-chan, you're leaving already."
She smiled lightly. "I'll just be in the next room Naruto-kun. We'll talk later I promise. Besides you came here to see Sasuke, not me."
"Alright," He sighed, "Enjoy your snacks, but you and I are going out for Ramen sometime this week."
A bit hesitant she replied, "Alright, it's a date." Without another word Sakura disappeared behind the wooden door to her room.
Waiting for a few more moment, Naruto turned back to Sasuke whose eyes were still fixated in the direction of the retreated blossom.
"You and I have a lot to talk about Sasuke." A stone expression masked Sasuke's inward flinch at Naruto's sudden serious gaze.
...
"No way, he knows Sasuke?"
The sound of a crumbling paper bag being ripped apart greeted the person on the phone. Sakura rolled onto her bed, lying down on her stomach, elbows propped in front of her note book as she dug into the back of chips.
"Yes pig for the last time, Naruto and Sasuke are apparently friends. They grew up together in Osaka. And from the looks of it, I think Naruto just transferred here."
"That's absolutely crazy." The blonde mumbled in awe. "Damn this means you have a one up on every girl on campus. You're best friends with his best friend." There was a hint of unnecessary jealousy in the girls' tone.
Sakura exhaled slightly irked by her friends' attitude and said, "I don't want to 'one up' anyone Ino."
"Why not? What's wrong with you woman? He's gorgeous and-"
"He has a bad attitude. He's rude and a complete player. I don't care how hot he is. I'm sorry I have more respect for myself than that." Sakura growled out in a huff. She listened quietly for the blondes' response but was slightly relieved at the silence she was greeted with.
For once that stupid pig gets my message.
A small sigh was heard on the other end of the receiver and then the blond finally spoke, "Fine forehead, I guess you have a point. But we still need to work on this boyfriend situation."
"There is no situation that needs to be dealt with."
"Yes there is, out of the three of us, Hinata is the only one with a boyfriend. Tell me where is the justice in that? The shy one from high school bags a man and I…I mean we can't!"
"Grow up Ino; how can you be jealous of Hinata? You should be happy for her. She finally has someone to call her own and she seems happy. Besides I thought you said you were going on a date with some kid tonight."
"Oh! That's right; I am going out with Sai. That reminds me; I called you to ask you what outfit I should wear."
Sakura couldn't help but sigh. Leave it to Ino to be more concerned about an outfit than happy about her friends' relationship. But then again Sakura and Hinata were a lot closer than Ino and Hinata. There was always a little bit of distance between the two girls. Ino and Hinata were just on opposite sides of the spectrum.
"So do you think I should wear that really cute purple top that dips a bit in the front with the Rhine stones and a black skirt, or Black dress from Misha's?" Without giving Sakura time to reply she continued, "I think I'm going with the dress."
"You do that, Ino," Sakura murmured as she grabbed another handful of chips and dug in. Meanwhile the blond continued to chat on and on about her day and how excited she was for her date.
...
"Ohh" A feminine moan trickled down soft pink lips.
Toes curled and fingers dug deep into strong muscular flesh. Beads of sweat collected on the meshed bodies as they slid sensually back and forth against one another, creating more insatiable heat.
"Mhmm please-" The girl hissed as the pleasure was rising in her gut. This man…he was torturing her; rubbing his thick unclothed member against her soiled and damp panties. She wanted him so bad and she could feel his unbridled want just as fierce as her own. "Stop teasing…." The name she spoke melted into another fit of sexy moans. His lips and teeth played naughtily against her creamy neck, plucking, nibbling, and biting the sensitive area. Meanwhile one dangerous hand held firmly underneath her ass, pushing her hips up to meet his own. Occasionally his rather bold fingers would give one of the cheeks a squeeze- more unnecessary teasing in her opinion. She knew what she wanted and it was the man on top of her.
While he toyed with her form she dreamt of how fantastic it would feel to have his length driving in and out of her tiny body. Pulling her mind into complete bliss while he conquered every inch of her; she would love it, the thrill of the idea only caused more juices to flood her underwear.
"Fuck me, Sakura." He growled, his arousal grew harder and his patience was simmering down.
Although it wasn't a demand but purely a cry of frustration she replied with, "I can't if you don't let me take off my panties and we both know I've been trying; now cut the bullshit and take me already!" She huffed harshly in his ear. Then she boldly bucked her hips grinding their heats' together. The man's eyes shot open as a guttural groan tore from the depths of his throat. Strong hands gripped the woman below him as he pushed her roughly against the mattress. His head shot up as lust inflicted onyx eyes pierced through excited emerald orbs.
…...
Sakura shot up from her bed with a start. Perspiration dripped down her innocent flesh, causing her clothing to stick to her. She ran a hand through her tangled mop and blinked slowly whilst her other hand clutched at her chest, desperately hoping that she could calm her racing heart.
Exhaling slowly she turned to glance at the clock. It was almost one in the morning and now she would never go to sleep. She sighed and noticed her text books that she had been studying were now in a messy heap on the floor beside her bed. Groaning she went to move to pick them up when a sudden sensation hit her.
Eyes wide, Sakura glanced down at the lower portion of her body. Her panties were a bit damp and there was a twinge of a tingle lingering in that spot. Flashes of her dream forced a gasp from her lips which resulted in a dry mouth.
"Damn it," She hissed whilst shaking her fallen pink tresses. There was no way in hell she wanted sexy from the Uchiha. That womanizing asshole was the last person on Earth that she wanted to sleep with. She didn't want to dwell on it so she willed the feeling away and ignored the slight pink on her cheeks as she quietly removed herself from the bed and walked out of her room. She was trying to be was stealth as she could to the kitchen- seeing as it was one in the morning- because she desperately needed a drink.
Tip toeing from her room, Sakura was surprised to see the light emanating from the kitchen.
"What are you doing up?" Sasuke questioned as Sakura rounded the corner. He didn't even look up from his book.
She folded her arms over her chest and leaned against the wall before replying, "I should be asking you that question." It was as if the dream never existed, only hostility lurked in her tone.
"I asked first," He intoned. She rolled her eyes and pushed off the wall, heading towards the fridge to get out some juice.
"I was thirsty." She murmured as she went to one of the cabinets above the sink and grabbed a glass before pouring her drink. "Want some?" She looked over her shoulder in time to see him raise his own cup filled with what looked like tea. "Okay," She nodded and placed the juice back.
"So what's your story?" She asked quietly as she kicked one of the table seats out to sit down on it. Slowly he looked up at her and stared for a moment. What was up with him, he was acting strange. Placing his book down in front of him and sighed.
"I couldn't sleep." This spiked her interest; she sat up from her slightly slouched position in the chair and leaned forward.
"Why what's wrong?" His eyes searched hers for a moment, trying to decipher if she was genuinely concerned or not. He knew it was pointless; Sakura was just the type of person who would be concerned.
"I just had a nightmare."
She frowned as she took a sip of her drink. "You're telling me," She mumbled. When he quirked an eyebrow at her she shook her head and waved her hand to dismiss her comment. Then she redirected, "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked, placing the glass cup back down.
"No," He grunted and picked his book up again. She sighed at his sudden defensiveness. Tapping her fingers on the table she leaned back against the chair and closed her eyes.
After a few minutes Sasuke looked up from his book towards the girl who has grown silent over time. A small smirk curved up on his face as he noticed that she was now unconscious. Sighing he pushed up from his seat across from her and picked her up from her chair. Shifting he carried her bridal style back towards her room. He was surprised with how light she was. It was like carrying air. He kicked her door open lightly and carefully placed her back on an empty portion of her bed. Removing the books and food from the bed; he placed them on her counter before turning back to her. He pulled the covers over her tiny figure before leaving the room.
Such a strange woman she was. He rubbed the back of his neck as he headed back towards the kitchen but paused when a nude woman walked out of his room- what was her name again? He lifted an eyebrow.
"Why did you leave?" The woman asked quietly. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes. They were always the same; always so needy and only after one night of sex. Karin was the only woman he knew who wasn't always like that. Maybe that's why he liked having her around. All the other women thought that they could get him into bed and then tame him the next day. How wrong they were.
"I needed to get something to drink. I'll be there in a second. Go back to sleep." The girl nodded and stumbled back into his bed room. He decided to leave his book on the table but grabbed his and Sakura's cups and emptied the contents into the sink. Flicking the light off, he sauntered back into his room and into the arms of a now fully awake and fully arouse woman. He smirked lightly; why not get one more round out of her before he tossed her aside. Lifting his shirt over his head he tossed it to the ground before crawling back into the bed with the woman.
...
Dear Diary,
This is Sakura again. This week has been a rollercoaster. I was surprised to find myself in bed, not remembering how I had gotten there. When I realized Sasuke was the reason for my return to my safe haven I wanted to thank him, for his sweet gesture, until I saw another one of his bimbos sitting in the kitchen in only a bra and panties eating cereal. What was worse was it was MY CEREAL, damn it! It was not his, it was mine and the whore just kept on eating. I hope she turns into a corn flake one day. Also that explains my odd sex dream about my douchebag of a roommate. Oh yes they must have been doing the nasty while I was sleeping and somehow my discombobulated mind decided to contort what I heard in my sleep into a horrible nightmare with me as the star!
Anyways, I digress, so instead of thanking Sasuke I gave him the cold shoulder. A bit childish but it was working. He was oddly frustrated, until he realized my game and decided not to acknowledge me as well. Basically we had chosen to ignore one another. It was a silent, non verbal but mutual agreement. Well slightly mutual. There were times when I would turn and find his gaze on me…rather my body, if I happened to be wearing something a bit more form fitting- sadly that was most of the time, seeing as the only time I wore really baggy clothing was when I was home or I just wanted to dress a bit more casual.
Other than my Sasuke troubles, my classes have been pretty good. I've gotten to know Tenten and Kabuto a bit more. Tenten is a lovely girl, very outspoken. Kabuto on the other hand, he's very observative, strangely quiet at times, but I find him…sweet.
On the down side things were looking pretty low financially. I envied Sasuke and my friends so much. It always seemed like they had endless amounts of money. However every time I opened my wallet it seemed to be depleting. I was a mortified wreck and I refused to call my father and ask for money. The point of College was to get ready to live out in the world. So far if I was going to live out in the world, I'd be living on the streets.
Well that was my initial thought process in the beginning of the week until Kabuto, my observant friend, seemed to notice my glum mood. One day he took me to the café my friends and I practice at and before I knew it I had a job; a real paying job as a waitress. I was so happy I could have kissed him, but unlike Sasuke, I have more restraint than that! I've been working there for about a week now. And thanks to being an employee my band gets to practice there for free. I was wonderful, elated; so happy I could sprout wings and fly. Yes, yes I know I'm being a tad bit overdramatic, but I am a writer. I write music and I wasn't prepared to sing my music…at least not alone…..
...
"You're kidding…" She whispered horrified, stunned.
"I'm so sorry Sakura-chan, if had known you were going to do this I would have informed you sooner."
"Same here pig."
The girl with a head full of pink hair whipped around to stare pleadingly at her blonde haired friend.
"But Ino you can get out of your date can't you?"
The blond shook her head. "No can do, Sakura. My parents unfortunately set this one up for me. Beside Choji is an old friend, I can't just leave him hanging even if I don't want to date him. I have to go explain to Sai as well."
"And My dance recital was scheduled months in advanced. I didn't remember until my school coach reminded me last week."
Sakura sucked in a deep breath and held it. "You…you mean to tell me, I got us a gig at the café tomorrow night and neither one of you can go?" The girls looked at each other and then back at Sakura before nodding solemnly. "Oh god," She whispered, letting out a shaky breath. Her form began to tremble, and she began to pant, deep shallow pants, hyperventilating.
Hinata moved quickly to her side, rubbing her back. "Sakura-chan calm down, it's going to be okay."
"N-no, no it's not the same; I can't go on without the two of you." In Sakura's mind she was only strong when she sang with her friends. There was strength in numbers, but going solo? She couldn't could she?
"Sakura you are an amazing singer. I'm sure you have a song that you could sing by yourself; one that requires just you and your guitar. If you need background music you can always give the CD to the DJ. "
"She has a point forehead. Don't sweat it, just act like you are singing a new song to us…only try not to giggle if you happen to sing something perverted." Sakura glared at the last statement but a soft smile found its way onto her soft pink lips. Her friends always knew how to make her feel better.
Too bad her friends weren't there to give her support now. Sakura blinked, breathing slowly to calm her racing heart. She shifted the strap of her guitar as she moved to peek out the side curtain onto the stage. It was a full house; people hovered in every corner of the room. She shivered feeling both anxious and the adrenaline pumping fast threw her veins. How was she going to do this?
She shook her head and took a step back from the curtain, not even registering the fact that the crowd wasn't too enthused with the performing bands' song. She began twitching in her spot, eyes narrowed into the air, staring blankly. Her nerves were coming back and she was paralyzed to stop them. Her lips parted, shallow pants grazed the entrance of her mouth.
She couldn't do this…It was too much. There were too many people. She should withdraw now. How was she going to sing her song? Her song…her song…
At that thought another memory flashed across her emotionless eyes.
"You know what I think you should sing?" Sakura turned to look questioningly at Hinata, waiting for the girl to continue. "I think you should sing that song you wrote a week or so ago in class; the one about the summer."
Sakura's face grew cherry red. "'Summer Nights,' Hinata you must be joking, right? That song is so embarrassing, they are going to think I do all of that."
The girl nodded, expecting this reply. "That's why you can warn them ahead of time that this was a song you wrote after overhearing a conversation. Besides who cares if they believe you or not, you know what's real and what is fake. You know we write songs for all different types of situations, not just what we feel or have experienced. Stop second guessing yourself Sakura. You are a damn good artist, now just have faith and show them what you've got." Although it came out in a whisper the girls' words held so much passion and force Sakura couldn't help but listen.
Sakura's eyes widened but slowly softened at the girls words. Reaching out she embraced Hinata and whispered a gentle "Thank you."
Sakura smiled at the memory. If Hinata had faith in her then so should she. Noticing that the previous band was about to exit off the stage, Sakura inhale and exhaled deeply. She was calm now, and ready to sing her heart out. She tipped her hat, casting a shadow over her face and let a smirk crawl onto her features. She could do this, she knew deep down inside she could.
"Our next performer will be singing Summer Nights accompanied by a background CD. Unfortunately two of the band members could not be here due to personal reasons, therefore only Miss Haruno Sakura will be here to represent her band. Please give her a big round of applause as we welcome her onto the stage."
Sakura closed her eyes and let them flutter open. This was it. Taking a few steps forward she reached out towards the curtain and pulled it back. Exhaling she made her fateful trek onto the stage filled with hot, bright, lights, one stool and a mic stand. Sakura sat down slight confident as she soaked in the hungry gazes of the audience, waiting for a good performance. She was going to give it to them.
...
"I can't believe you dragged me here, Dobe." Sasuke growled impatiently. "Shouldn't you be at your stupid dance recital with that woman?"
Naruto glared. "First of all, Teme, her name is Hinata, not woman. Second I told you already, she's just dancing in the background for now. Her real performance doesn't happen for another hour and a half. I told her I'd come see her then. She knows I wanted to come here after class. Besides she wants to know how good the bands are."
Sasuke scoffed. "I don't care. This band is horrible anyways. Why are we still here?"
"Oh would you quit whining. One night without sex won't kill you, you bastard. Just enjoy the music will you. I'm sure there will be better performances after this one."
"You better be right Dobe." Sasuke sighed, shifting annoyed in his chair. He didn't want to be here. In fact he was supposed to meet Karin to have a bit of fun but he was found before he could get to her and dragged to this hell hole. Now she's either fucking some other asshole or shopping at god knows what fancy department store. In other words he wouldn't see her for the rest of the night.
He could easily pick up another woman, there were plenty in the room, but it was too much work. Sasuke was in a rotten mood.
After a few minutes the band exited the stage and he was thankful. However the next few words that followed their departure had his mind on overdrive and his curiosity spiked.
"Our next performer will be singing Summer Nights accompanied by a background CD. Unfortunately two of the band members could not be here due to personal reasons, therefore only Miss Haruno Sakura will be here to represent her band. Please give her a big round of applause as we welcome her onto the stage."
Naruto's mouth dropped. "Sakura-chan, she's singing tonight? No way!"
Although he didn't show it, Sasuke was equally shocked. He knew Sakura sang because he had seen her guitar case quiet frequently. He also knew she was in a band after their first argument over female bands two weeks ago. However, he was not prepared to see her perform, live, right now and by herself. Where was her other band mates?
Suddenly the strawberry vixen sauntered casually onto the stage. Behind a blank gaze were unbridled nerves rattling throughout her body, but she didn't show it.
"Wow," Naruto whispered taking in the sight of his friend. Their eyes traveled from the floor up, starting with a pair of knee high buckled black boots. Beneath that was a pair of red and black stripped socks that stopped around mid thigh. There was a tiny slip of skin before it went to a cute slightly frilled black skirt. Draped over the top of the skirt was a red t-shirt that made her torso look a bit more elongated. A picture of a happy bunny with the words "I own your sorry ass" decorated the front of the shirt. A black silk like vest loosely covered her shoulders and dangled at her hips. Long chains hung from her neck and to finish the outfit she rocked a black fedora with a red strip going horizontally across it. The hat was tipped to the side whilst her pink locks fanned out around her face. She tiled her head up as she sat down on the chair and gazed at the crowd.
Sasuke stilled, watching calmly as the girl squinted lightly through the blaring lights and lifted a dainty hand to grab the microphone. She cleared her throat and began to speak rather softly into the device.
"Hey, my name is Sakura Haruno. Unfortunately my band mates were unable to attend this even tonight due to other engagements. So I am going to perform for all of us. Um this song is called summer Nights. I wrote it a while back after over hearing a rather intense conversation so…hehe I hope you enjoy." A subtle indent in her cheek flashed as she quirked her lip up in a smile.
Slowly she exhaled, readjusted her guitar and jerked her chin in the direction of the man with the music. She strummed her guitar to background music and then lifted her lips back to the mic.
"Hey Sally pass the baggy
Let's roll another fatty
On the beach with my steeds
Till we fall asleep
It's getting cold sal lets go
Roll on to that party
Grab a 40 we'll prolly have more fun with our shawty's"
The crowd was in utter awe at the smoky but sensual tone that echoed in the room. The girl was simply enchanting.
"Summer Night's
These time's they make me feel so nice
On the days that I just lie and lay with you
(Lay with you)"
Sakura closed her eyes and swayed lightly to the music. She felt it all, the energy in the room was magnetic despite the quiet. The crowd was feeling her and she was feeding off the electric charge.
Unknown to her a raven haired man's gaze narrowed in subtle astonishment. His roommate, this girl, this woman…she was… Sasuke couldn't find the words. His mind and body was simply atuned to her singing. Her voice, body language it was all pulling him in, as well as many of the other people in the room.
"We've got Rum in our blood
Summer Nights bring heated love
And we'll drink and get sexed up
On the basement rug
And fly, fly, fly"
"We've got Smoke in our head
Summer Night's bring life to our breath
And will dance and get alive
But before we die
I will, fly, fly, fly"
Her voiced died down as she continued to strum. Eyes still closed, Sakura jammed to the music until it was time for her to sing again. Lifting her head, long lashes fluttered upwards revealing lusty emeralds. Her husky but feminine voice began to sing again.
"Hey Bobby don't you want me
I told you I was horny"
Sasuke's eyes snapped open and his body jerked at her seductive words.
"Oh my god…" He heard his best friend whisper. He too was a bit out of breath. Who knew a song about drugs, sex, and drinking could be so provocative…and from the lips of his innocent roommate.
Of course Sasuke knew that Sakura was a virgin. That was evident from the moment he first saw her, all the more reason why he was instantly attracted. She was a challenge and she had a feisty personality to oppose her innocence. But he knew he couldn't touch her no matter how much he might desire her, so he took a chance with teasing her, constantly trying to get under her skin. It didn't seem to be working though, in fact he felt like she was turning his efforts against him.
"On the beach with my steeds
But he's too stoned to please
It's getting cold sal lets go
Roll on to that party
Let's leave bobby, we'll prolly have more fun without our shawty's"
She closed her eyes and continued to sing. A tiny smirk lurked on her luscious pink lips making her appear all the more alluring.
Sakura's fingers ran magnificently across her guitar while her lips grazed the microphone. She continued to sing until the song came to an end with the words:
And fly, fly, fly"
Slowly she opened her eyes and gave the acoustic one last strum. Stopping she breathed a tiny "Thank you," into the mic and then bowed. The crowd erupted into a fit of cheers and a smile sprung onto her heart shaped face. Her heart pounded against her chest at the sudden adrenaline rush. Bowing one last time, the Haruno followed by backing away from the chair and microphone and headed confidently off the stage.
Meanwhile off stage Naruto turned to a stoic Sasuke and beamed. "Wow teme can you believe how incredible she is? Man, imagine how much better it would have been with the rest of her band mates. Wow I'm glad I came but I've got to get going! Please tell Sakura chan I thought she was amazing! Kay thanks Teme." With that Naruto left the Uchiha sitting in a crowded room full of hormonally charged college students. Sakura had just made her mark on not only Sasuke but all of Konoha University.
…...
"Hina I did it! I did it Hinata-chan, thank you so much!"
"Yes! I knew you could Sakura-chan. I'm so proud of you." Sakura could hear her best friend smiling over the phone.
"Man, Hinata, when we perform everyone will go crazy. They haven't seen anything yet. The rush was…it was epic."
Hinata giggled. "I can't wait Sakura and I'm glad you did it but I've got to go. We'll talk more tomorrow okay?"
Sakura smiled into the phone. "Of course and good luck with the rest of your recital tonight; break a leg, love!"
"T-thank you Sakura chan, I'll do my best, cya soon."
"Cya," Sakura replied before clicking the end button. She sighed contently as she fell back with a plop on her bed. She felt fantastic and unstoppable. Tonight was only a taste of what was to come but she also had to remember to keep up with her school work. Music was a side gig but her medical practice came first. Both she and her friends knew that, however it didn't stop her from feeling like she was flying.
"AHHHH" She squealed, legs kicking and flailing in excitement.
Suddenly she heard a quiet click followed by a fit of giggled and clumsy stumbling. Sighing Sakura got up off her bed and walked into the hall. Peeking around the corner she saw a rather drunk Sasuke stumbling around the room with an even more intoxicated slut. She rolled her eyes as the whore began to undress herself right in front of Sasuke.
"Ugh it never changes." Sakura shook her head and as she turned to head back to her room she heard words that sent chills down her spine.
"Ohh Fuck me, Sasuke." The girl moaned…but to Sakura it translated to:
"Fuck me, Sakura." Sakura started as flashes of her "nightmare" hit her full force. Growling she pivoted swiftly and bolted from the hall, pushing Sasuke aside and she ran to the door. Picking up her guitar, keys and jacket she hauled her ass as fast as she could out of their apartment.
Reaching in her back pocket she pulled out a small device and began to dial a number. Lifting the speaker to her ear she waited.
"Sakura?"
"Ino, can I crash in your room tonight?"
"Why?"
"No questions, I'll answer later."
"Alright, alright jeez forehead…you are so damn rude. Come on over." Sakura quietly thanked her friend before hanging up the phone and continuing her trek to Ino's room.
…...
"So you are telling me, that you've been having sex dreams about Sasuke Uchiha?"
"Ino!" Sakura hissed as she slapped her friends' leg. "Shut up will you, your roommate is in here."
Little did Sakura and Ino know, in the next room, a text had just been sent out to just about half the campus.

AN: Yups I'm an evil biznich lol. I must apologize for my wayyyyyy overdue chapter. I've been far busier than I anticipated this year. A lot has happened and I've lost quite a few important people in my life, especially one special woman who actually got me into writing. But um I got into the college I wanted and I am officially graduating next week thus I should have a bit more time for writing both for this story and my own personal novel. ^ ^ Anyways I didn't really get to check for grammar or spelling errors on the last half of this chapter. I just want you all to read it because I felt horrible. Some people even in boxed me asking if I was dead. T_T I'm not dead but thanks for your concern haha. I hope you all enjoy and hopefully the next chapter will be out shortly =D
Love,
My! A.k.a. SweetMadness
P.S. The song was written by Cassie Steele and it is called "Summer Nights" I take no credit for this piece of interesting music. I just simply enjoy XD.
