Hey everyone, I am so happy after reading all you wonderful reviews :) They mean a lot to me!
Sorry about this late update I was planning to upload it on Tuesday but then I forgot, then I had a soccer tournament that was out of town for 2 days, the hotel we stayed in didn't have internet, and yeah... So I just got back and here it is!
I ALSO HAVE A POLL THAT WILL START NOW! THE QUESTION WILL BE AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER, SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AND VOTE IN YOUR REVIEWS. THANKS :)
So I forgot to tell you guys, but obviously the characters will be OOC (out of character) in this story. So sorry if you don't like them to be OOC.
I might add a 'playboy' side to Naruto in the upcoming chapters if I have time to write it down. Not really Naruto being a playboy, more like a lot of girls like him :) which I think will make my story even better.
But beware I might not do it because I have to integrate it into the plot and story, and the will be a lot of work. I am pressed for time as it is, so I might not have time to do it. But we will see later.
Now enough of me rambling, here's chapter 3 of Roommates! Enjoy!
Summary: Sakura and Ino wanting to live in the city. Ino finds a nice apartment at a low price during her travels. But unfortunately they cannot afford it… So they need a 3rd roommate! Who will this roommate be? Will their lives change forever? Finding love where you least excepted it to be.
Disclaimer: I do not own the anime/manga Naruto or any of the characters used in this story from the anime/mango Naruto.
ooo PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER ooo
She arrived home and stood in front of her new home doing some stretchs.
'What a beautiful neighborhood. And I got my mind straight with my little problem too. I'm just going to ignore him. I went a little overboard telling Ino that he made my life a living hell. That's not entirely true... He was mostly just teasing me."
She went into the lobby, got into the elevator and went inside her apartment, music still playing.
She went to her room, 'Eww I'm all sticky after that run. I better take a shower and freshen up.' So she took everything she needed for the shower and walked to the bathroom waving her free hand in the rhythm of music.
Sakura walked towards the bathroom and opened the door now knowing there was someone inside. Since she had her music on and couldn't hear the sound of the shower.
She closed the bathroom door behind her only and turned to see a naked man in the shower…
ooooo
Roommates
Sakura walked towards the bathroom and opened the door now knowing there was someone inside. Since she had her music on and couldn't hear the sound of the shower.
She closed the bathroom door behind her only and turned to see a naked man in the shower…
"Kyah!" Sakura screamed and dropped what she was holding and picked up the closest thing to her, which happen to be a hair dryer, and threw full force at the naked man.
It hit him right in the head, "Ouch, what the hell was that for!" he yelled as he turned around.
Unconsciously, Sakura's eyes started to trail down and she saw the man's…
The pinkette started to blush furiously, pinker then her hair, and then she fainted.
ooooo
Sakura's eyes started to open and her head was hurting her. 'Ouch, my head what happen…' The pinkette's eyes started to blush as she remember what happened. 'He was actually hot… And that 8 pack… SAKURA WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!' She mentally slapped herself for the thoughts she was having.
Sakura heard some noise in the kitchen so she got up and walked toward it.
"So, I just met your brother" Sakura started, trying not to sound angry, "I thought he would be here in a week or two."
"Oh hi Sakura you're awake." Ino turned to Sakura, "Well, I thought so too, until he called me ten minutes after you were gone and told he had a change of plans."
Sakura sighed, sat down and placed her head on the table with a silent thud. Then she heard him and turned to see him standing in the kitchen, dressed only in a towel around his waist.
"Hi, Sakura! The shower is all yours now." He grinned.
"Hi, Naruto" She stood up and walked out of the kitchen with a blush on her face as she remembered what she was thinking earlier...
"I like the colour of your underwear. I think pink suits you" Naruto shouted from behind her.
Sakura's blush deepened and she turned around, standing in the hallway that led from the kitchen.
"What underwear you pervert?" She shouted back at him angry.
"The one you dropped, when you know…" He yelled back.
"You were together in the bathroom?" Ino asked.
"Yes, she was peaking while I was taking a shower" he laughed, "And from her reaction, I think she liked what she saw."
Sakura stormed back to the kitchen, "You prick, I didn't even knew somebody was there, you were supposed to move in only in a week or so. Like I would even want to see you naked, I wouldn't do it even if they paid me" she stuck out her tongue and walked to the shower.
Naruto was left speechless and puzzled. She made sure that the bathroom door is locked and furiously undressed, got into the shower and let the water run down her body.
'Is he stupid or what? It wasn't on purpose.' She started to wash her hair and tried to calm down. 'Ok, ok, but only this one time… I admit he has a hot body. He certainly had changed through the years.' She sighed. 'Come one Sakura, get a grip. Ignore him. Remember?'
The pinkette finished her shower and got dressed, calmed down but not liking the idea of Naruto touching her stuff. She found the laundry basket and threw in her running outfit.
She placed her shower gel, shampoo and face wash on the shelf next to the shower.
Sakura exited the bathroom and went to the kitchen and saw that Ino was still cleaning, "You need any help?"
"No, I'm fine in the kitchen, the bathroom is already clean. But you could go over to the living room." Ino answered.
"Okay" she started to walk towards the living room.
"Hey, Sakura..."
"Yes?"
"About Naruto..."
"No need. It's ok." Sakura smiled, she didn't want her friend to worry.
"Ok." Ino smiled back and felt relieved.
ooooo
Sakura was almost done with the living room. Although the house was clean enough, Sakura and Ino thought it still would be a good idea to clean it. After all, that's one of the ways how to get to know their new home.
Sakura got the chance to go through the books and she felt exited to find some she wanted to read a long time ago.
Ino was overjoyed to find the DVD collection of the latest fashion shows and the DVD player with sound system was pretty much the best they ever have seen and heard.
ooooo
A few hours later, even the study and hallways had their floors cleaned. Their rooms were cleaned too; the only thing left to do was to put the stuff needed to be put away in closets and shelves.
But what Sakura liked the most about all this was that Naruto had stayed is his room the entire time since they had that shouting in the kitchen.
The whole four hours.
Sakura turned off the sound system.
"I guess, we did it." she said to her blonde haired friend.
"We did what? I think putting our stuff away will be the hardest part. It took me almost half a day yesterday to make half of the boxes with my stuff to disappear." Ino said, rolling her eyes.
"Then I just have to do it better than you." Sakura laughed and winked at her.
"To be honest, I'm sick of unpacking for today so I'm going to buy something to eat. Any specific orders?" Ino asked.
"Hmm... Not really. But since you have a car, and I don't, would you mind also buying food for breakfast and stuff? I can make a list and give you the money. I would go with you but I really, really, really want to start unpacking." Sakura asked knowing that Ino will agree.
"If you come with me the next time? And will you be ok, staying with Naruto alone?"
"Yes, I'll come with you the next time. And yes, I'll be ok, we will be living together so I just need to get over it... No worries, promise?"
"If you say so…" Ino hugged Sakura, she was happy to live with her best friend, "I'll go and get dressed, in meantime you can write me a list."
Sakura nodded and went to her room. 'And where can I find a pen and paper?' She looked for her laptop bag, she always had paper in there. Sakura sat on the window sill and wrote a list for Ino.
When she was done, Sakura found her wallet and made her way to Ino's room. She opened the door and saw Naruto standing in there wearing only shorts. 'Is that a tattoo?!'
"Are you really going to walk around half-naked?" Sakura asked annoyed.
"Not really Sakura, I'm just doing this cause I know you wanted to see me like this." Naruto smirked at her.
"So here's the list and money, if you can't get something, it's ok, don't bother." Sakura turned to Ino, ignoring him.
"Thanks. I'm off then. You two better behave, I want to come back to a home not a battlefield. Understood? " Ino asked looking from Sakura to Naruto, then from Naruto to Sakura. They both nodded and Sakura left the room.
"Please, behave. I think you should apologize to Sakura for teasing her. Yet again…" Ino said to her brother, giving him the you-better-don't-screw-up-things look.
"Yes, as you command my little sister." Naruto bowed and smiled at her, "I will talk to her."
Ino left the apartment thinking only one thing 'Was it a mistake making them live together?'
ooooo
After an hour, Naruto went to Sakura's room to try to talk to her and found her unpacking her things.
She had headphones on, so he stood there for a while in the doorway and watched her, knowing she didn't noticed him.
She was wearing baggy sweatpants and a t-shirt at least two sizes too big. Her hair was loose, reaching over her shoulders.
Sakura had left the window open, a soft breeze was blowing her hair from time to time. Naruto could smell a scent coming from her.
'Right, she smells so good. Like strawberries?' He remembered it reading after Sakura left the bathroom leaving him naked in the shower, 'Well that was an interesting welcoming' he laughed to himself.
Sakura opened a box and Naruto noticed her smiling. She turned to place the decorated chest on the table when they eyes met.
First the pinkette was surprised. Then she got angry. She saw him put up his hands like he was surrendering.
He knew first hand how scary and powerful she could become when she got mad… Let's just say that she turned out worst then their old principle, Tsunade.
She put the open box on the table, took off her headphones and asked Naruto, "What are you doing standing there? Trying to spy on me?"
"Nothing much really, I just came to apologize. I swear." Naruto said still holding his hands up.
"So an apology in nothing much to you?
"No, no, that's not what I meant, geez." he sighed and continued, "Listen, I'm sorry about the shouting in the kitchen, I just thought you understood I was joking. I'm sorry, I never meant it to be mean or teasing."
Sakura stood in her room and tried to understand if he was joking or not. Maybe he has changed after all, just like Ino said.
Naruto was still standing his hands up in the air.
"Ok. I accept. But you had it coming, I mean, me shouting back and stuff. You never tried to be polite towards me, well, not all the time."
"I know, I'm sorry about that too. Can we try to be friends?" Naruto asked and smiled.
"I guess, we could." Sakura smiled back.
Suddenly a strong breeze come flying into the room, covering Sakura's face with her hair and blowing some pictures and papers out of the box she had put on the table earlier.
When the wind calmed down, and she could free her face from her pink hair, she saw Naruto holding a picture.
She didn't pay any attention to that and just picked up the papers that flew out of the box, kneeling on the floor.
Then she noticed some pictures lying on the floor. She picked some up and blushed. 'Oh god, please no. Just no!'
She looked up at Naruto and saw the picture he was giving her while looking sideways. He was scratching back of his head and looked somewhat confused with what's that... He was blushing, but why?
"I swear, I didn't see anything... Well, maybe just a little bit. But it wasn't on purpose!" Naruto tried to explain, giving her back the picture.
Sakura took the picture and blushed furiously.
ooooo
I hope everyone liked this chapter :) I think I cut it off at a pretty cliffhangery part :P
So now for my poll…
WHO SHOULD BE PAIRED UP WITH INO?
I ORIGINALLY PUT IN A OC BUT I DECIDED TO PUT IN AN ACTUAL CHARACTER INSTEAD.
IT CAN BE ANYONE BUT SASUKE BECAUSE YOU WILL SEE LATER ON ;) I AM ACTUALLY LEANING TOWARDS SAI BUT YOU CAN VOTE.
I WILL PUT THE RESULTS OF THE POLL IN THE NEXT CHAPTER.
ooooo
Now I will answer some of your reviews because you asked me to :)
DaGirlMaria: Thanks for reviewing! Don't worry, it is a NaruSaku fic ;)
ChristinaLuvsAnime: Lol 1 million babies XD Your funny :P To answer your question there will most probably be a lemon that will be added. It's not in the original because I didn't start writing lemons until recently.
Anonynmus Review: Sure I'll try but since this is a pre-written story that I wrote a year ago, it is not really under my control because I want to leave a big cliffhanger at the end of my chapters :) So it all really depends where I find them.
So that's all for now, see you guys later! Don't forget to review, fav, follow, and vote on my poll via the review. Thanks!
