AN: So to clear some questions up first…thanks to one of the readers who pointed out that I totally effed up the lyrics to the first half of Summer Nights XD. My bad. I wrote that at like one in the morning on a school night and never checked to change it. Just listen to the actual song for the real lyrics…or I could put them up on my profile or something ^ ^.
Second: The text at the end of the chapter…wasn't initially in my plans, however, I was looking for a spicy way to end the chapter and what better way, than by adding another twist and causing more havoc. Yes…I'm rather cruel to my characters =P
Third: This is the first time in months that I've been able to pick up my story again. I don't know why but my inspiration left for a while. However, it is back and I THINK it's in full gear. Why you ask? Well I've actually been in college for almost a year now. I'm on my spring break of freshman year so I've had a bit more time to gather information from more personal experiences…nothing bad -_- don't think that way. But I've seen some crazy shit XD. Anyways, you guys let me know if you agree after this chapter. Speaking of viewer comments; I've seen a couple of angry comments about updating XD. I'm sorry and I reread the last chapter, specifically the ending and I can see why so many people were upset. Frankly I'd be pissed as hell too if an author left me with a cliffhanger…and it's happened quite a few times -_-. For this I apologize. I can't promise when I'll update any of my stories but I will update so please bear with me. So here we go and hopefully no one will show up to my door with pitch fork in hand…or knife, gun, etc….cuzzz then I really wouldn't be able to update XD. Anyways I digress. Here ya go!

University of Konoha
Chapter 6: Rumors and Mass Confusion
…...
"If men sleep around we some players but for women
they be saying 'hey ho!'"- 'Hey Ho' by Ludacris
…...
Lavender irises peered meekly up into azure before a simple but pretty smile danced onto her soft features. Her male partner tightened his hold around her waist as a broad smile spread across his lips and he breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Hey, great job tonight Hinata-chan and Naruto!"
"Yeah, you guys were phenomenal," A girl named Katana yelled in a cheerful voice.
"A-arigato-gozai-masu" Hinata squeaked and then ducked her head back into Naruto's shoulder. She could feel the vibrations rumble through his body and into hers as he laughed at her odd behavior.
"Yeah, thank you guys!" He waved shortly and then replaced his hand and arm back against her warmth, cradling her soft contours to his strong physique. "They're right you know." He whispered and waited to see his girlfriends gorgeous eyes connect with his again. When she did look up his heart gave a start. This girl, no, this woman had captured his former playboy heart like no other girl could. She was the complete opposite of him; quiet and meek, with strong sense of subtle power. She was graceful and dainty, yet a bit odd and outlandish whenever around him. Her stutter had slowly began to subside the more she was around him but it always came back whenever people said something nice about her, she was humble and that's what he loved about her. On the dance floor she commanded respect with her agility and flexibility, with powerful dominance and submission. However off the dance floor she was a normal girl with such a kind heart.
Of course Naruto would be a fool to say he was only attracted to her because of her personality. It was the incredibly luscious and curvy body that she tried to hide that drew him in. She didn't try to expose herself like most girls. The only girl that Naruto knew who was like that was Sakura but after years of knowing her, Sakura became more of a sister to him than a romantic interest. But when Naruto began to study her odd quirks more and learn about her kindness, he fell and he fell hard. He could not get Hinata off his mind, so much that he gave up chasing other girls long before the two went out on their first date. They had started out simply as dance partners, she the teacher, and he the student. So their relationship started out purely on a professional level until Naruto began to advance in which he was able to witness her let down her guard. Pink would marry her beautiful cheeks often when he was around and her already soft spoken demeanor lead to her stuttering on top of her quiet voice.
Hinata interrupted his short daydream by tilting her head to the side. Her long damp locks rested casually over his arm. He smiled softly at her. "You are amazing, Hinata. I wouldn't be a dancer at all if it wasn't for you." She blushed a pretty red color and hugged her boyfriend tighter.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun." He pushed her back gently and swooped in for a sweet and gentle kiss. He felt goose-bumps rise under his fingertips as they softly caressed her upper arms. He took an easy step forward, and another, and another, but to the Hyuuga, intoxicated by his kiss, she felt nothing, only his lips against hers.
Suddenly, the cool brick wall hit her back and her eyes flew open.
"N-Naruto-kun!" He smiled against her lips and continued kissing but took it a step forward. Lodging his knee in between her legs he pressed his body completely to hers, molding their physiques so that where one ended the other began. Letting go of her arms he slid his palms up the wall beside her face and made a hot trail down her neck. Her light fingers tangled in his hair and down his back. "Mhmm Naruto-kun…please, not here."
"We should….celebrate. You want to go back to my place?" He groaned softly against her neck, jerking his hips lightly for emphasis on just what he intended to do to her when they got to a private area. Contrary to what an on looker might believe the two lovers had yet to actually make love. Hinata was simply not ready and Naruto understood, but instead they tested each other's bodies, imitating the dirty and luscious act without joining their sexes together. She bit her lip to stifle the noises coming out of her mouth. She didn't know if their instructor was still in the building and if he was she didn't want to get caught. When he got no reply, Naruto reluctantly lifted his head up, smoldering sapphire pierced lavender. Her lashes lowered in lust and her cheeks turned a deeper pink. The effects this man had on her. "Hinata-chan if you don't want to go just say so…but," His voice deepened and his eyes traveled down to the only visible space between them and back up to her face, "I can tell you want to."
"Naruto-" She was cut off by a sudden vibration. Both looked down to Naruto's pocket. He sighed and carefully backed away from her, successfully pulling her away from the wall as well. Reaching into his pocket, Naruto pulled out a small somewhat flat device and read the text. His eyes widened like saucers. Hinata's eyebrows furrowed and she lifted her hands up to her chest to steady her racing heart. "Naruto-kun…what's wrong?"
His eyes glazed over in fury and he clutched at his phone angrily before shoving it in his pocket. His expression shifted from pissed to that of care as he looked up at Hinata. He tried his best to smile softly at her.
"We'll have to take a rain check on our celebration of a good recital. I've got to go beat a few lovely words into the Sasuke's brain."
Hinata blinked, she knew whenever Naruto mentioned his best friend Sasuke by his first name and not his nickname that he was serious about something. Funnily enough they had just finished inviting him out to dinner over the phone a few minutes prior to their little activities and the strange text Naruto received. Whatever was going on between them was none of Hinata's business so she just nodded and took his arm as he guided her out of the building.
…...
"Sakura this is big!"
"It's not big, pig…so I had a dream…it was more like a nightmare actually but that's beside the point!"
"Yes that's beside the point! The point is that you have the hots for Sasuke."
Sakura groaned. "Yes he's cute…sexy even, I'll admit that but that doesn't mean I want him. The dream is a psychological manifestation of my disgust towards the uncivilized manner in which he treats woman!"
Ino blinked and then arched a brow. "What?"
Sakura sighed and leaned back, slouching slightly defeated. "Basically I dreamt of him molesting me because that's all I hear, consciously and subconsciously when I'm in that blasted apartment." Ino nodded slowly and quirked her lips to the side to signal her disbelief.
"So that's what you tell yourself, okay gotcha." She winked in an overdramatic fashion, showing she didn't believe Sakura's argument.
The pink haired girl threw her hands mercilessly in the air. "Ino for Kami sake, can't you be a little supportive!" Sakura stood and paced as she spoke, hands flailing to accompany her anxiety. "I don't want to dream of him in any way shape or form. I don't want flashes or visions or to hear sounds. I'll go crazy woman!" She stopped abruptly before her blonde friend whilst panting slightly; face flushed in embarrassment.
Neither women heard the slight creaking noise of a door opening but Sakura was the first to catch movement. Her eyes snapped upwards as Ino's roommate quickly bypassed them, phone glued to her fingers.
"Err bye Ino-chan!" She looked a little nervous despite the fact that she didn't give the two girls a single glance.
"Eh bye, Ami; She is such a strange girl, I swear." She whispered to Sakura after a few minutes.
"I thought you guys were getting along?" Sakura lifted a brow curiously.
"We are, she's pretty awesome, almost exactly like me-" Sakura cut in.
"Pfft as if the world needs another Ino." The blonde narrowed her eyes sharply and if looks could kill, Sakura would surely be dead. Sakura laughed nervously and shifted her eyes away.
"Anyways, like I was saying, she's totally into shopping and gossip. It's awesome but sometimes she can be a bit sketchy." Sakura shrugged.
"Those are the kinds of girls you should watch out for Ino." The blonde waved her comment off.
"Don't digress from the real situation at hand; now about your infatuation with Sasuke."
"INO!"
"You need a man." Sakura scoffed and crossed her arms stubbornly.
"He's far from a man." She held her nose high and sat straighter as if that would prove her point.
Ino sat back, eyes wide as if blown away by the statement, "Wow…fighting words." Sakura's posture gave way in seconds and she leaned forwards towards Ino, pointing as she spoke.
"You would know if you were in my position. Living with him is a battle in its self. He's cute but he's an arrogant jerk and then when I think we are getting along he brings another bimbo home and it's like he doesn't respect me at all. I can't stand him; he drives me up the walls. And now that damn bastard is invading my dreams! I can't take it anymore Ino. If this shit keeps up I'm going to have to ask for a room transfer or something."
Ino's eyes widened before they lowered in sadness. She didn't realize her friend was in that much agony.
"Listen Sakura, you know you are always welcome here whenever you need a place to crash and get away from him. Luckily enough for you I'm not the only friend you have on campus," She paused as she saw Sakura's lip tilt up wards. She smiled and continued, "You've got me, Naruto, Hinata, and many more on the way. Just don't let him push you out of your room because it's your place too you know! If he keeps this shit up you need to talk to him and set boundaries." Ino then proceeded to lean back and let her friend digest this information.
Sakura blinked slowly, had Ino seriously just given her good advice on a boy issue? Hell must have frozen over. She continued to stare incredulously. After a few minutes Ino let out a frustrated grunt.
"Snap out of it forehead. This is not the first time I've given you good advice if that's what you are thinking." To this Sakura raised a brow, "Fine don't listen to me." Sakura shook her head.
"Thanks, Ino," The blonde smiled widely.
"Bout damn time you got out of that catatonic state billboard brow. Now let's go!" Sakura rolled her eyes at her supposed best friends' insults.
"Go where?" Sakura looked after her friend baffled. "Go where, pig, we have classes in the morning?"
.....
"Oohh mhmm," Fake press-on nails dug roughly against the surface of a strong thigh.
The female moaned against the thick member pulsating in the hot cavern of her mouth. The sounds of slurps and intense sucking echoed in the empty apartment. Sasuke sat, legs semi spread, arms splayed over the back of the couch as he stared down impassively at the female giving a large amount of attention to his lower half.
She arched her back and lifted her mouth and eyes as she spoke in a seductive tone.
"You like that don't you, Sas-"
"Keep sucking." His voice came out in a monotone, as if she wasn't doing anything to him. Onyx pierced shocked blue until the girl gave in and went back to trying to pleasure the sex god before her.
Sasuke slid his eyes closed and leaned his head back against the couch. His buzz was slowly starting to wear off and now this girl didn't seem nearly as appealing as when he first picked her up. Why had he picked her up? Pink and green flashed in his mind. Ah, that's right that feisty yet innocent, pink haired, green eyed, vixen of a roommate who had abruptly bolted from the room not too long ago. She had shoved Sasuke rudely out of the way and in the direction of the couch where he and his little toy wound up staying for the duration of the time. However their contact never went past her trying to get him off….a task she was currently failing at as the alcohol began disappearing from his system.
Damn that woman. Sasuke cursed Sakura. She just had to be appealing, singing that risky song, having such a melodic voice. Recently her voice was slowly becoming annoying. It followed him everywhere, even in his dreams. But hearing her sing, it was different from when she spoke; it was a breath of fresh air. He groaned. He needed to stop thinking about her.
His groan however deluded his 'guest' into thinking she was doing a good job and she giggled. He ignored her and tried to enjoy it. Maybe if he thought of a different woman it would get better. But who?
"Sasuke, what the hell is this?" The Uchiha sighed, mentally cursing himself for forgetting to lock the door.
"What are you talking about Karin?" He kept his eyes closed as Karin walked over with her Iphone4 incased in a custom made Gucci case and attempted to show the Uchiha the text.
Opening his eyes he peered at the message. He was unfazed to say the least and lifted his blank eyes to her enraged gaze and with a shrug and replied, "So?"
"So, are you insane? You are fucking that little bitch?"
"Karin, I fuck a lot of bitches." At that the girl currently getting him off lifted her head and gazed at him with a look of shock. The Uchiha glanced down at her and lifted a finger, pointing towards his still hard member. He kept his gaze on her until she gave in and went back to work. "Does it matter if I slept with Sakura or not, Karin? Besides, I didn't sleep with her."
"You didn't sleep with her? Ugh I don't know it's just I don't trust her and clearly she wants you but she's not the type of girl that's in for a night of sex, she's the relationship kind of girl."
Sasuke tried hard not to smirk. "Are you actually jealous, Karin?" He purposely elongated her name to make her uneasy, to get under her skin.
"Ha-As if!" She harrumphed and folded her arms over her chest. As if just noticing the girl between the Uchihas legs she cleared her throat. "Hey, Hun, mind giving us two adults some time alone?" The girl released the Uchihas length with a 'pop' and glared back at the red headed female.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" The girl on the floor said. Karin glared angrily at her. Who did this bitch think she was? Was she a freshman? She thought Sasuke knew better than to fuck with little girls. That was yet another reason for her to further her dislike towards his pink haired roommate. At the thought, Karin seethed more.
"Listen bitch, you don't know who you're talking to. Put on your pants, close that slutty mouth of yours and get the fuck out." The girl sat dumbfounded for a moment. Slowly her gaze turned to Sasuke who seemed the least bit comforting. He arched a brow at her and then cocked his head to the side towards the door.
"You…you fucking asshole! Fine, but this is the last time you'll see me." She stood up and pulled on her thong followed by her short jean skirt. Then she fixed her shirt so it didn't look completely wrinkled. She grabbed her heels and just as she was about to leave the apartment Karin called over her shoulder, "Good riddance hooker." The girl let out a nasty shriek and then slammed the door shut.
The red head smirked and fixed her own skirt as she glanced hungrily down at the throbbing member between the Uchiha's legs.
"Come here." He pointed to the area next to him and properly snapped her out of her daze. "Fix this, since you kicked that girl out."
Karin smirked, "Gladly."Her smile subsided as the thoughts of Sasuke's pink haired roommate flooded her mind. I will make him forget that bitch. She will never get a taste of him. And with that Karin pulled Sasuke up from the couch and brought him back towards his bedroom where they began to shed clothing and sunk deep into an unadulterated sea of mindless pleasure.
…...
Bam, bam, bam!
The raven haired man groaned as he pulled on a pair of shorts and angrily sauntered towards the door. The obnoxious banging continued.
"Hurry up and answer it Sasuke, it's annoying." He shot Karin, whom he could see through his adjured bedroom door laying naked under the sheets, a frustrated glance. Right now he wanted to choke her, forget about fucking her; she was just as annoying as whoever was pounding on the door.
It had only been minutes after they had finally shed all of their clothing so the Uchiha was truly frustrated. First Karin kicked his whore out and now this. He sighed, shoved a hand roughly through his hair and the pulled the door open before the person behind it could continue their assault.
He surely regretted his decision.
Smack!
The Uchiha's head flew back and he stumbled back a few steps. Karin's shocked scream was deaf to his ears and he looked up and made eye contact with a furious Naruto.
"…The f-"
"What have you been doing to, Sakura you fucking bastard?"
The Uchiha stared for a moment, blankly soaking in the information just thrown in his face. Naruto was angry…about Sakura? His mind flashed to just about twenty minutes before when Karin first blew into his apartment. A blue electronic screen popped up with a small but powerful message.
"News report here on the latest U of K gossip; Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke's roommate, has been having sex dreams about him. Can we infer that the frosh has done the nasty with U of K's most eligible and sexy bachelor? I think so."
From the fury he saw in his best friends' eyes, he knew the man got the message as well. The Uchiha grunted as he stood up and whipped his mouth of the blood.
"Oh my god, Sasuke! Naruto what the fuck is your problem." The blondes' eyes shot to Karin who seemed to be only wearing a sheet. Naruto narrowed his eyes in disgust. He was never a fan of Karin. Something just didn't sit right with him when it came to the fierce red head. She was nothing like Hinata or Sakura, girls who cherished their bodies but weren't afraid to show off their sensual sides. No, Karin was manipulative and threw herself around all of the time, to anyone with a dick between their legs. Unfortunately, she had a habit of always falling back into Sasuke's lap. Nothing could get rid of her. And he hated the fact that his best friend constantly went back to her. He didn't care if the sex was great; the girl was just plain dirty in Naruto's eyes.
"That asshole I call a best friend has either been fucking around with my other friend or just seriously damaged any good credibility she had at this school." Sasuke narrowed his eyes this time. What did Naruto care about credibility? Just last year he was about as bad as Sasuke was. The brunette shook his head.
"What does it matter if I did fuck her?" Naruto was livid and lunged yet again, but Karin stepped in between the men; holding her smaller hand out towards Naruto in a flimsy attempt to stop him. He froze.
"Now hold on, is this about that stupid text message that went out earlier through the school newspaper?"
"You got it too?" Naruto asked skeptically.
"Of course moron, you know I have to be updated on everything going on at this school." To this both the blonde and Sasuke rolled their eyes. "That's why I came over here to find out the truth. They haven't done anything. Not that I would dream that he would touch that child."
"Hey watch your mouth!" Naruto growled. "You don't know a damn thing about Sakura, and neither does he. That's why this it's so important to me." Sasuke stared calmly but his mind was racing. "You need to fix this, Teme."
"How do you propose I do that, dobe?"
"Tell them you sent the text message or something, as means to fuck with Sakura….as in joke around with her; your way of initiating her as a roommate." The Uchiha continued to stare. "Then say that if any guy tries to get at Sakura they have to go through us." To this the Uchiha raised his left brow.
"…The fuck, Naruto?" Sasuke dismissed the last idea.
"That's ridiculous." Karin agreed. "Why should he do the last part? That makes it seem like they are together. Which they aren't you idiot."
Naruto rolled his eyes again. "That's why I said both him and I. And besides after her performance earlier tonight at the café you know as well as I know that guys are going to be all over her because of that song."
Now Karin was confused. Her head whipped between both men. Frustration bundled between her eyebrows as Sasuke shrugged.
"Fine, whatever, I'll consider it. Now will you leave? I want to sleep."
"Yes Naruto, please do get out." Karin sneered causing Naruto's once victorious grin to turn into a scowl.
"You too Karin, we're done here tonight." Sasuke finished as he turned around towards his bed room. Naruto stood chuckling as Karin's jaw dropped to the floor. A few seconds later Sasuke returned with most of her clothing which he carelessly dropped into her hands. She stared at him shocked.
"You're joking right Sasuke?" He lifted his eyebrow as if to question her. She let out a shriek similar to that of the girl he had been with earlier and charged into the bathroom to change.
"Haha bought time you wised up a little teme, now you better go through with this text thing or I will be back." Naruto threatened.
"Whatever." The Uchiha dismissed him and Naruto quickly left afterwards, mention something about 'his precious Hinata.' Sasuke didn't care what he did. He turned in time as Karin came back out of the bathroom. She threw his sheets to the floor, stepped over them and walked out of the apartment, slamming the door behind her. Outside the door Sasuke could hear someone yelling 'Stop slamming the fucking door, it's late." He sighed for, he hoped, the last time that night and proceeded to take a shower before heading to bed. He had, had enough of the drama and bullshit for one night.
…...
"Ino you're joking."
"Of course not! It's Thirsty Thursday, mama. You had an epic night of singing, Hinata had a great night of dancing, so I heard, and I had a pretty decent date with Choji. But now, you and I are going to finish this evening with a bang by getting a bit more comfy with our fellow students." The blonde smiled broadly with a gleam of mischief in her blue eyes. She grabbed Sakura's hand and weaved her through the crowd of partiers.
"You had a decent date with Choji? Lord the world must be ending because I never thought I'd hear you say that." Ino threw her a dangerous look.
"Shut it forehead and enjoy the alcohol. You need to relax for a bit. Don't worry we'll be home in no time and we won't get caught."
"Ino, I don't know." Sakura shook her head. A frown appeared on her face. The party did look like a lot of fun but it was against school policy for them to be drinking. She bit her lip.
"Hey cutie, what's your name?" Sakura turned around slightly to look up at a very handsome face. Sakura smiled lightly.
"I think it would work more if you told me yours first." He leaned back and whistled.
"Got a fire cracker on my hands, huh? Name's Kiba, and yourself?"
She smiled again, "Sakura." This time he smiled, his eyes lit up under the flashing lights of the room.
"Definitely fitting…can I get you something to drink?" She frowned slightly and shook her head.
"No I'm-"
"She'll have a beer." Ino chirped, ignoring the way Sakura whipped her head around to glare at her. Kiba raised his eye brow and smirked.
"One beer coming up; anything for you?" He politely asked Ino.
"Nah I'm okay, I'll make sure she doesn't leave." She stuck her tongue out. Kiba smiled, shook his head and left for the drinks.
"The nerve of you, pig," Sakura spun around as soon as Kiba was out of sight.
"Shut up Sakura and live a little. You weren't this stressed during the summer."
"That's because high school was over and I was accepted to college." Ino smiled and grabbed her friends' hips.
"Live!" She emphasized as she began to sway them both to the music. Sakura sighed and let her shoulders loosen a bit. Her hips fell in motion with Ino and she smiled. Like good old times. Suddenly someone's hand on her hip and lips pressed against her ear.
"You don't seem like the same girl I left a few minutes ago." Sakura smirked and leaned her head back but kept her eyes on Ino's.
"I just needed to relax." Kiba chuckled and handed her the beer. She took it and thanked him, smirking as his hips followed hers. He pulled her body up against him and rocked them to the same rhythm. Ino laughed as a man came up behind her and began to dance. However, not once did the girls let go of each other's hands. "I know I'm sexy and everything and you're completely taken away with me, but are you ever going to drink that?" Sakura chuckled.
"Bottoms up." She shouted over the music and chugged back a gulp of the poisonous liquid.
…...
"Why is everyone looking at me…" Sakura asked Tenten quietly as she sat down next to her friend. She then paused, contemplating the awkward glances people kept giving her before something caught her eye. Double taking, she stared bewildered at the girl sitting beside her, "Tenten," She squeaked in aggravation, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The girl continued staring for the moment then sighed and pulled out her cellular device.
"Look at this." Hesitating Sakura slowly leaned over to stare down at the small screen and mentally read the words over and over until they finally processed. "That and the fact that you walked in here looking like you had a wild night last night…people are pretty sold."
"What…No-no way! That's not true at all!" Her breathing picked up as she quickly handed the phone back to Tenten. Then a shriek escaped her that startled and shocked the entire room of quiet observers. "I did not have sex or a sex dream about that perverted jerk!" The whole room went still. Sakura's face went red as she clutched her head, not in shame but in agony.
"Wow…" Tenten mused as she watched the reactions around her. When she turned to look at her friend, her face quickly became worried. "Sak, what's wrong." The pink haired vixen looked up at her embarrassed and whispered.
"I have a bit of a hangover." To this, her friend began laughing. Sakura didn't see the hilarity in the situation. In fact, Tenten's laughter only made her head hurt more. "Please Tenten, it's not funny. The older girl shook her head with mirth in her eyes.
"You freshman are so funny. Look Sakura, this text isn't as serious as everyone is making it. But it will have a bit of an effect on your rep at school if you are worried about that kind of thing. Especially since this so called 'perverted bastard' happens to be one of the most popular guys at U of K." Sakura groaned.
"Ugh what do I do? First he tortures me in my own home and now outside the confine of my room." Tenten gave her a sympathy pat on the shoulder.
"It'll be okay Sak. It'll be okay."
…...
Unfortunately it wasn't. Sakura was stared at and talked about for most of the day. Some who were curious to see who she was, some who knew and were shocked, some who thought it was amusing, some who got the wrong impression of her, some who wanted a little of the Uchiha action from her, and some who simply didn't care but by that point Sakura had become paranoid beyond belief. That was until her second class later that afternoon. That was the class she had with Sasuke….Chinese of all subjects.
…...
"I'm the one who sent out the text to annoy, Sakura." Sasuke confessed as soon as the teacher left the classroom for a moment.
"What?" Sakura stared stunned along with their other classmates who had been a little awkward since the two of them walked in to class.
He had been talking to the Korean exchange student, who was the only one brave enough to confront Sasuke about the rumor.
Her mind traveled to thoughts of their conversation two hours before.
"I have two propositions for you." He took a step towards her. She was resting her rear against the kitchen counter. She had found him sitting at the table reading their Chinese textbook. He didn't even let her speak…well yell before he spoke up about these supposed proposals. She was so thrown off guard that she nodded slowly.
"Alright, what are they?"He wasted no time.
"Go out with me, Naruto, and his girlfriend tonight." That was weird. Why was Sasuke going out with Naruto and his girlfriend and why did he ask her to go with him? Did he think of it as a punishment?
"Why" He watched her for a moment, no emotion in his eyes before decided to finally answer.
"You need this rumor to go away. My 'fan girls' will hunt you down for one. You'll have guys all over you-"
"That's not necessarily a bad thing." She piped up, interrupting him. His brow hitched, she noticed he did that a lot, like Morse code, one hitch equals 'what?' She chuckled at her internal joke. Sasuke however thought she was laughing at him. His eyes narrowed.
"Hn," he dismissed her comment, "That's what Naruto doesn't want. I don't care. It's your reputation…not mine."
"We all know where your reputation is, don't we." She snorted quietly, but he heard her and proceeded to glare. After a few minutes of considering this thought she nodded. "Oh okay that's fine. What else?" She looked at him skeptically. His lips twitched at the corners and onyx orbs shifted subtly down to gaze upon soft pink lips. His eyes then flickered upwards to meet curious green.
"Kiss me."
Sakura's eyes widened.
"W-what, are, are you insane? That's absolutely ridiculous…no I'm not going to kiss you." She was a tad flustered to say the least. The Uchiha smirked and slowly stood up from his position at the table.
"Why not, it's just one tiny kiss; far less harmful than a double date with Naruto and his girlfriend." Sakura didn't hear the bit of annoyance in his tone when talking about Naruto and his mystery date. He continued his way over towards her distracted form on the counter.
Sakura looked away, avoiding eye contact with him; her cheeks felt warmer than ever.
"Why do you want to kiss me?"She spoke a bit softer this time.
He stared at her for a moment, pondering if he should answer the question or tack advantage of her flustered state by swooping in for a kiss anyways. His lips parted and he took a step forward, albeit minute, Sakura zeroed in on that step as if it was a giant leap forwards. Her heart jerked against her rib cage. When had he gotten so close? He was literally an inch from her knees, she could feel the heat of his stomach radiating off onto her. He leaned forwards and placed his hands on either side of her body on the counter.
"Because you don't want to kiss me," He intoned and her eyes narrowed.
"So this is just a game to you! Then no, hell no actually!" Suddenly the fire was back in her eyes and she shoved against his chest but he barely moved.
"What's wrong, Sakura, it's just a kiss, it'll be over in seconds." He didn't know why he kept toying with her like this. It wasn't normal behavior for him. "Who cares if it's a game, it's not like you actually like me anyways."He made a small sound similar to his 'hn' as he ducked his head into the crook of her neck, causing her to tense again.
She pondered his words. She didn't like him. She had kissed men before who meant nothing to her. Of course that was after a few drinks or a few rounds of spin the bottle. It's not like it made her a slut. She didn't bring them home. She didn't spread her legs for them. She was still pure and she made sure to stay that way until she found the right person. But that was beside the point. This was just one kiss.
"With Uchiha smex on legs," Her inner self chuckled. She ignored the voice.
Hell if this went right she could show him up. With a sudden conviction she pushed the older male back, gripped his shirt and pulled him down for a quick kiss. Their lips sat frozen against one another. The Uchiha stared back with subtle surprise whilst Sakura stared with determination.
Slowly she closed her eyes and deepened the kiss. Her lips caressed his into answering back. Unknown to her his fists tightened against the counter top as he leaned in to gain control of the kiss. However the pink haired vixen wouldn't let him, she set the pace and power. Her hands rose and tangled in her spiky locks as she kissed with everything she had except her tongue. It was purely lip on lip contact and when she finally pulled away she gave his bottom lip a small nip. Quiet the surprise to the Uchiha. She let go of his face looking flushed and yet oddly satisfied. With that her hands slid down his chest enough for her to push him off and jump down from the counter. She blew out a breath, making her cheeks expand momentarily. Brushing her short locks out of her face she fixed her shirt which had ridden up and then walked out of the kitchen. She left a bewildered Uchiha standing in the same spot, staring at the location in which she had just left.
A few moments later Sakura came back into view holding her bag on her shoulder. She turned slightly to glance at her roommate and smirked.
"I'll see you in class Sasuke-kun." With that she left and went god knows where. Sasuke shook his head as soon as the door closed. What the fuck just happened? His hand reached up and his thumb brushed unconsciously against his bottom lip. She bit him? And damn did it feel good. He shook his head again and then smirked.
"…Haruno Sakura, huh?" He blew out a breath before returning to his studying at the table.
…...
Later that day after class, Sakura heard that Sasuke went to the campus news paper and told them to tell everyone he told the source of the text to send the message to everyone as a joke on Sakura. He also told them to fire the asshole that sent the obnoxious text but to keep it under wraps. Afterwards Sakura found out from Ino, that her roommate Ami lost her job. From that day on Sakura made it a personal note that she would never tell Ino anything private in her dorm room ever again.
…...
Well Diary,
First of all I supposed I should clear up why Sasuke and I are both in Chinese together, especially since he's a different year than I am. Well, everyone at U of K has to take at least one year of a language, so two semesters. I've always been fascinated with mandarin so I decided to take it my first semester. Sasuke however, decided to wait. His decision from what I gather is purely business related. His family owns companies in China and if he one day hopes to learn and be a major asset to the company he has to learn the language of his competitors. Anyways we somehow landed in the same class which is fine by me. I understand the characters, I know how to write and read what we've learned but the pronunciation seems to be failing me. Sasuke has picked it up rather flawlessly. *envies* Anyways come test time I will definitely be asking him for help. I know…how could I turn to the dark side…well a girls got to do what a girls got to do.
I also bet you thought that this is where the chapter in my life ends right, with the big fiasco with Sasuke? Hell no. There's more, such as the second part of the proposition that happened later that night. Yes the infamous date …err hangout…whatever it was with Naruto, his girlfriend, and Sasuke. It was a lot to take in. Well, here goes….
…...
Sakura peered around the corner at her roommate who was, this time, not in the kitchen. Sasuke stood in his room, shirtless, well semi shirtless. He had a dark blue button down shirt on but it was wide open and he was in the painfully slow process of buttoning it up. He glanced up at her with an arched brow.
"Sakura…" He drawled her name out, causing her to shiver slightly. Why did he have to say her name like that?
"Hey, I just wanted to thank you for what you did." He nodded thinking she was done speaking but she continued, "But don't you think your 'joke' will attract more attention?" The Uchiha paused and then began walking towards her, leaving three buttons undone. She bit her lip, trying to refrain from looking at those three damn blasted buttons.
He stopped when he was a few inches in front of her. "No." She blinked.
"No? Why not?"
"It's the weekend, people will get smashed, go home, or they'll be studying. Either way this whole annoying situation will be out of their minds…except the ones with no lives."
But even then…It won't matter. Sakura thought. She nodded and smiled thoughtfully, not noticing that the action brought Sasuke's attention back towards the sweet and soft lips that captured his only hours earlier that day.
"I see, okay, well, thanks again." She lifted a hand to wave as she turned to leave when suddenly Sasuke's hand grabbed at her wrist. "What?" She asked quickly.
"Are you going to get ready?"
Ready for what? She thought. Sakura looked at him skeptically. He took that as his turn to speak again. "Naruto and his girlfriend remember?" Sakura's eyes widened like saucers.
"That's tonight! Shit, shit, shit." She yanked her arm from his grip and ran straight for her room. Sasuke sighed and went back into his room. About ten minutes later and a few more curses and loud crashes Sakura emerged from her room. This time Sasuke was in the living room, relaxing on the couch. He glanced up at her and let his eyes trail down her body and slowly back up.
She was wearing form fitting washed out dark blue jeans with a hole in the right knee. On the top half of her body was a black strapless corset looking top and a jet black leather jacket with a cotton hood adored her shoulders and arms. Her hair was down and slightly messy from her hurried attempt at getting ready. There was no jewelry on her except a necklace with a star at the end and one ring on her right hand. What really threw Sasuke were the heels she wore. They were black boots that he couldn't see the full length of due to her jeans.
She looked sexy. She grabbed her purse and pulled out a small holder possibly for her school I.D. She then put another card in it and a few bucks. She then stuffed the small contraption into her coat pocket and zipped it up. When she finally looked up at him he was standing closer to her now.
He nodded his head at the door, grabbed a jacket off one of the coat hooks and left the apartment. She locked the door behind them.
"So how are we getting there? Where is there?" She giggled to herself at the awkward question. Sasuke smirked as she flanked his left side.
"My car."
Her eyebrows rose in surprise. "Where is that?" He didn't answer, which she didn't take to well. She continued to poke him, and glare, and ask, but he wouldn't budge. When they finally got outside of the building Sasuke led them over towards the shuttle bus terminal. She looked at him curiously.
"Parking deck," He finally said out of the blue.
"Really?" Sakura put her hands on her hips and tapped her heel against the pavement. "Was it really that difficult for you to just say those two words?" When he didn't answer again she threw her hands up in the air. "You are infuriating sometimes, you know."
"Hn," He smirked. The bus came quickly and only stopped at two other areas on campus before finally reaching their destination. They exited the bus and walked inside the parking deck. They took the elevator to the second floor and walked past the first five cars on their left before approaching a midnight blue Aston Martin V12 Vantage. Sakura's eyes widened.
"This is yours?" Sasuke's response was to pull out a set of keys and click the unlock button. When the car's lights flashed she knew. "Wow," She breathed and came around the passenger's side. "It's beautiful." She opened the door cautiously and joined the already sitting Uchiha in the car. It was well kept, it looked brand new. The interior was all black. When the car started, blue lit up the darkness, the radio glowed as well as the inside of the dashboard. Sakura's breath hitched. Sasuke smirked at her reaction, internally proud of his car for managing to impress her. Sasuke clicked the knob on the radio and then slowly pulled out of the parking lot with a rather smug look on his face.
Sakura was astounded. It was beautiful, and it drove smoothly, as if they were gliding along the road. Plus it helped that Sasuke was such a brilliant driver, although Sakura would never tell him that. She sighed and relaxed into the seating. The car smelled like Sasuke. And no matter how crazy the man drove her, he still smelled incredibly good. She smiled lightly and watched the scenery as they drove into the town surrounding the campus. She began humming quietly to the music on the radio.
When they finally arrived Sakura noticed that they were in front of a cute little diner. She blinked as Sasuke turned off the car. Gingerly she unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. When she turned around she was wrapped in the strong embrace of Naruto. She smiled.
"Hey." She drawled out in a friendly tone.
"Hey Sak, I missed you." She giggled.
"I missed you too Naruto-kun." Pushing him back gently she observed that he was dressed rather nicely, like Sasuke. Not to say that Naruto dressed like a slob on an everyday basis but today there was something much more sophisticated about him. He too was wearing a button down shirt, his was completely black. The sleeves however were rolled up, letting Sakura know that it was a casual evening. She smiled, he smelled good too. "You look great." A small tinge of red married his tanned cheeks.
"Thanks," He paused and scanned her outfit, "Well damn, so do you." She laughed and swatted at his arm playfully. He gave her a fox like grin and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. They then began walking towards the store where Sasuke was leaning in the door way. His face was passive but there was a different gleam in his eye. Something Sakura had never seen before. She shrugged it away as they passed him and walked inside.
"So what's this all about?"
"Well," Naruto began, "You guys are my best friends so I thought it was only fitting that you both met my girlfriend at the same time." Sakura nodded slowly. Something didn't add up. If Naruto wanted her to come…then why did Sasuke make it a proposition instead of just telling her?
"I have two propositions for you."
"Why not, it's just one tiny kiss; far less harmful than a double date with Naruto and his girlfriend."
That asshole tricked her! Of course why didn't she see it before? Two propositions is better than one; especially when the first one is there to distract you from the true intention. She turned her head back to glare livid at Sasuke who only smirked as if reading her mind. She was about to yell at him when Naruto stopped their movements. His voice was slightly drowned out by the blood thumping in her ears from rage.
"Sakura-chan, Sasuke-teme, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Hyuuga Hinata." Naruto said proudly.
"Hyuuga?" Sasuke intoned, laced with subtle curiosity.
"Hinata-chan?" Sakura whipped her head around to see her best friend sitting at the tabled flustered the same color red as she.
"S-Sakura-chan?" Naruto looked between the two of them dumbfounded.
"You…know each other?" With that both girls slowly calmed and giggled. They smiled at one another before turned back to Naruto and replying simultaneously, "She's my best friend."
"I'll be damned." Sasuke muttered quietly. Sakura squeaked and released her hold on Naruto and ran straight for the seat beside Hinata. Her arms instantly opened and welcomed Hinata into an embrace.
"Oh my god Hina, you and Naruto!" Hinata blushed and nodded furiously, happily. "Ahh I'm so happy for you! No wonder you've livened up a lot." She said mischief whilst nudging the girl with her elbow to this the blue hair maiden blushed even harder and ducked her head in embarrassment. Naruto who had taken a seat on the opposite side of Hinata smirked as he swooped in and kissed her on the cheek. Sakura cooed and clasped her hands to her heart. Hinata smiled lightly and leaned into Naruto's arms.
"So I take it you're Neji Hyuuga's younger cousin?" Sasuke spoke from beside Sakura. Hinata looked at him and nodded with a soft smile. "Does he know about this?" He pointed at Naruto.
"Shut up teme." Sasuke smirked.
"Ignore him," Sakura said, still irked at the ebony haired man to her left. "I'm happy for you guys."
"Thank you, Sakura-chan; that means a lot." Hinata smiled broadly.
"Yeah, Sak, you don't know how worried I was. But you two knowing each other just took a huge weight off my shoulders."
"What? Afraid we wouldn't like each other?" She giggled.
"Well not necessarily, I just, I don't know I just wanted everyone to be happy." Sakura stared at her friend, amazed. Naruto in this moment seemed like a whole different man. He was no longer the crazy knuckle headed kid she met years ago. He was a man, with a girl friend he loved, and two best friends he loved like family. Sakura reached out and squeezed his hand in a reassuring gesture.
From then on the night went relatively smoothly. Relatively being the operative word, seeing as Naruto couldn't go the night without cracking a few jokes about Sakura's situation with Sasuke. However, every time, just before he got too out of control, Hinata would just say his name in a soft of warning tone, and place a delicate hand on his arm, or shoulder, or hand, and he would instantly stop.
They were a cute couple for sure. It was a lot of fun and it also got Sakura thinking. She was now more determined about the new idea forming in her mind.
So that night when Sasuke and Sakura got home she did something completely out of the blue. She hugged him. When she pulled back she looked him square in the eye and said, "If our best friends can be in a relationship and consider us good friends then there must be something, somewhere that proves we can get along. I want to be friends Sasuke-kun…well at least try. So no more games, no more girls coming over on school nights, let's just respect each other's bound-"
She was cut off by a pair of lips molding to hers. Her eyes widened in the dark. Those soft lips caressed hers until she responded and then there was no mercy. Sasuke kissed her like she had never been kissed before. One hand held her back, pressing her form to him while the other tangled in her strawberry hair. Not once did he use his tongue, just lip to lip action, like earlier.
However unlike earlier, Sakura could feel the heat spreading in her body as theirs rubbed together naturally.
Her eyes slid open slowly after her back hit the wall. Dazed green eyes peered up into abyss. They held the contact for what seemed like ten minutes until Sasuke dove back in for another taste. When he pulled back a second time he tugged her lower lip between his teeth in a sensual way. After that he disappeared into his bedroom without another word to Sakura.
When reality set in Sakura ran her hand threw her tangles hair and let out a shuttered breath.
"What just happened?" She blushed. Shaking her head she decided not to dwell on it and talk to the Uchiha in the morning. It would be Saturday and a fresh start. She smiled lightly and nodded with a new drive. Disappearing into her own room, she hurriedly shed her clothing and passed out into a wonderfully dreamless slumber.
…...
AN: For those of you who may not remember…or maybe I have the wrong name but I am pretty sure way back when in part one of Naruto there was a girl with purplish hair named Ami( which means friend…haha ironic because she's not) who terrorized poor little Sakura over her big forehead. And she was also an incredibly big Sasuke fan girl. And it was because of her and some of her lackeys that Sakura and Ino became friends. Because Ino helped Sakura gain some confidence and yada, yada, yada and then they were all like grrr rivals because both of them had the hots for Sasuke. So yea…that's how and why Ami is now the bitch who told everyone about Sakura's dirty little sex dreams about Mr. Sasuke Uchiha. Mhmm yup.
Also I feel like I gave people the wrong impression. A few chapters back…not that there is many XD I wrote out a few chapter titles I was thinking of. Its true I had them written down and I know for a fact in my mind the story will be long, however I don't have the chapters prewritten out. I wish I did. Life would be so much easier than but I don't. I write these on the spot….well over a period of time. So after this chapter the next one you'll have to wait for me to write. I apologize if anyone got that impression. If not, then now you know. =) So now that that is all clear. XD
Love you guys,
