Chapter Thirty Three
Just read, enjoy, have a good laugh or two, have a tear slip here and there; get mad at cliffhangers or at late updates, and review. Even if it's just a one word review :)
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!
ITALICS ARE MEMORIES! IMPORTANT!
Seating back down, he stared at the two stuff animals at the foot of Sakura's bed. A black-ish blue wolf with hints of grey sat to side while a pink bowed, white kitty sat on the other - a couple's item. Big, round plastic beady eyes stared back at him as if they were mocking him.
"Hn," he scoffed, "I did it for Sakura. ...I did it for Sakura..." Their beady eyes just stared straight back at him, taking away his man card with every ticking second he sat there. He couldn't help but shake his head either.
Going back into that frilly, girly boutique again... was painful. Never in his life, did he think he would go into that disgusting store again. Ever. With those giant dancing teddy bears standing outside in the shop's windows was enough to bring a brutal stab to his man pride. That store was like a mix of Unicornia Land, Fairytopia, and Princess Fairytale all together in one place. It was disgusting.
Groaning in despair, Sasuke ran a tired hand down his face, his other hand shoved in his pockets. As he did so, his fingers brushed pass something cold and fuzzy. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he pulled the object out. There, in the center of his palm, laid his keys. Caressing the item, he took the miniature version of the pink bowed, white kitty into his hand. A small smirk slipped onto his features as he remembered the time Sakura had forcefully made him wear the god damn thing. Oh god, it was a death blow to his ego. But... he guessed it was alright, considering he landed himself quite a girl. Glancing back up at the said girl laying in bed, he smiled.
"You have got to be kidding me...," those words slipped out of his mouth before he could even refrain from stopping it, which earned him a glare from the rosette beside him.
Slapping him playfully on the arm, she said, "Nope. I am not kidding." Spreading her arms out wide, smiling brightly, "Welcome to... Cupid's Angel!"
Staring at her with a blank expression, he said, "We are not going in there."
"Oh, don't be silly." Sakura laughed, her eyes twinkling. "Of course we are."
With her insane inhuman strength, the little rosette managed to drag the brooding Uchiha through the entrance of the shop with much protesting and resistance coming form the said Uchiha.
If Sasuke thought that the outside looked terrible, then it was nothing compared to the store's interior.
Workers walked around in giant teddy bear costumes holding sets of cupid's bow and arrows, while some were dressed as cupid himself. White lacy streamers covered the entire ceiling, spread out from a center of red and pink balloons hung upside down like a chandelier. Endless amounts of glitter and rose petals led their way around the shop. Love statues of all sorts were displayed all around, from hugging bears to kissing pandas.
He felt like he was going to barf.
Laughing at the Uchiha's expression, Sakura began dragging him throughout the store. They went through an endless amount of couple's items; from diamond rings all the way to matching pillows. But Sakura didn't find anything interesting to her taste until they stopped at a turning rack full of key chains.
"Sasuke, we should totally get one!"
Sasuke rose a single eyebrow at her, "You sure you don't want a diamond ring? Or two instead?"
The rosette went on and ignored his comment as she went on browsing through the fluffy animals. Her emerald orbs lit up like stars as they came across a particular set of key chains. Hugging them to her chest, she shoved them in Sasuke's face. "Oh my gosh, look at these! Aren't they adorable?"
Right there, hand in hand, Sakura held two little miniatures; no bigger than the size of her palm. One black-ish blue wolf, one pink bowed, white kitty.
[...]
"Break's over! Back to the field!" The head coach hollered, followed by the shrill screech of his whistle. As all of his boys came hustling by and huddling around in a circle, he added, "And keys and phones in the box."
A groan barely passed his lips as he spotted the cardboard box heading his way. Reaching into his pocket, he reluctantly pulled out of his things. Holding onto his keys a little longer, he thumbed the stuffed kitty on his keys. Sighing deeply, he let it fall into the box. Keep his cool facade in place, averting his eyes elsewhere, he handed the box back to coach, secretly hoping that no one would notice the girly key chain. But his hopes came crashing down when he saw coach pull it up by his index finger, like it was poison or something.
Coach raised his eyebrows at the object. Looking at the young Uchiha, he questioned, "Sasuke... what the hell?"
Still keeping his cool intact, Sasuke slipped on a blank face and shrugged, "Hn." After that, he began walking out to the field, helmet on his head, football in hand.
"Dude, Uchiha's whipped!" Kiba hollered, unable to contain his laughter as everyone around him joined in. "Oh, wow, Sakura got him good!"
"Man, if I didn't know Teme was going out with Sakura-chan, I would have thought that he turned gay on us!" Naruto added, crying in laughter. "That's it, I'm taking away his man card."
"I don't even think he had one to start with," Neji commented, clearly amused with a smirk on his face. The Uchiha went too far and too low this time.
"That's what you get with these troublesome ladies..."
[...]
With practice coming to an end, the boys watched as Sakura came by, still in her cheer-leading uniform, pink hair up all pretty and nice. She took Sasuke's helmet out of his hands. A smile on her pretty little face, she said something and Sasuke replied back with an annoyed grunt. Laughing cutely, she punched him playfully, whispering something only Sasuke's ear was allowed to hear. Smirking, he looked at her tenderly. And then, Sakura stood up on her toes as she kissed him senselessly, almost hotly in a matter of fact.
Back with the boys, some whistled, egging Sasuke on, making him pull the rosette roughly against his body. Hands gliding down to her sides, caressing them, Sakura let out a... moan? Dear lord... Pressing her body even closer to his, eliminating any space between them. Arms snaked up and around his neck as she began tugging and messaging his scalp.
"Damn...," Kiba whistled lowly, shaking his head the couple's heated moment. "You know... I would gladly take one of those embarrassing girly key chains any day if it means I can get my hands a hot babe like that..."
Several weeks passed, and nothing was coming from neither girls. Although the girls did managed to heal their injuries quite well, to the point where they were taken out of the ICU and placed into regular hospital rooms. The girls had visitors come in and out at almost every hour. Even with the bustling visitors and rustling commotion, neither one showed any signs of waking up. The thought of consciousness seemed to be bordering on impossible. And everyone was getting restless because of it, not that they weren't already. Especially the boys; they were getting desperate, fast.
While Sasuke managed to hold himself together for the pass couple weeks, he quickly snapped back into his violent self; creating a ruckus and a scene in the doctors office, demanding when was his fiancee was going to wake up. Kiba wasn't any better. It even came to a point where the two boys were thrown into a holding cell at the hospital's security room. That was definitely an all time low for the both of them.
"This is fucking stupid," Sasuke growled, running a stressed hair through his hair, making his raven locks even messier.
"I don't disagree with you there, man." Kiba nodded in response.
"Calling themselves fucking doctors?" He scoffed. "Bullshit."
"Total bullshit, man. Total bullshit." Just as an angry silence fell into place, Kiba shot Sasuke a grin that had mischief written all over it. Sasuke just looked at him like he was crazy. "We should totally break out of here."
"You're crazy." Sasuke nodded in agreement to his hypothesis. "Clearly out of your mind."
"What?" Kiba retorted. "How could this be bad?"
Shaking his head, he said, "If those damn security guards catches us, again. Then we can kiss our chances of seeing the girls goodbye. They don't care if I'm the fucking owner of this hospital. They'll have us out and banned before you can say, 'Hn.'"
"So... you in?" Kiba grinned.
"You stupid or something?" Sasuke asked dryly. "Of course, I'm in. Sakura's going to see my face first when she wakes up."
Their plan... wasn't that elaborate or fancy. It was just to get Naruto to create a ruckus, clear all the nurses on the floor and have security after him verses the boys. And then have Hinata come down and free them. Frankly, Sasuke didn't even believe that they had a chance at escaping the holding cell. But he guessed the hospital was just cheap on security, for they fell for the scheme head on. Flying up flight after flight of stairs, they burst through the metal doors, landing themselves in the waiting room.
"Man, they were stupid!" Kiba snickered. "They're even worst than Naurto and that's saying something."
Smirking, Sasuke couldn't help but agree with the kid. "Hn."
"Stupid?" Someone said, the new voice made them freeze in their spot. "You kids, maybe."
Eyes narrowed down, Sasuke glared at the guards all around him. While Kiba groaned, "You have got to be kidding me!"
"Did you think that you meddling kids could escape that easily? Hm?" The evil nurse from earlier spat. "This is serious business happening around here. It is not a playground! There's patients resting in these halls, whom should I remind that your girls are also patients of these halls! Stop acting like foolish hooligans and - Patient in room 289 has woken up! Nurse, Doctor! Medical attention is needed in room 289!"
Everyone in the waiting room froze for a second as if they were in a trance before snapping out of it. Ino's parents had immediately jumped up and rushed inside with everyone following after at their heels. Beside him, Kiba's eyes widen, a smile threatening to bloom on his lips as he too followed everyone inside.
...Everyone... except Sasuke.
His eyes cast down to the ground, lips pursed tight together, he cursed whoever was laughing at him up there. Growling, he yanked at his raven locks in frustration. Jamming his hands into his pockets, he sulked his way to Sakura's room. At that moment he couldn't resist the urge but to feel jealous of Kiba. His blond girlfriend had woken up... and Sakura, hasn't...
"Therefore, triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDA by SAS. Angle C is equal to Angle A because of alternate interior, while Line AC is equal to Line AC because both triangles share the same line."
"Yes, Miss. Sakura...," and that was when Sasuke decided to twist the metal knob, entering into a classroom filled with freshman boys and the occasional sophomores. He found Sakura at the front of the room, her back facing the door. And she was giving quite a show too, he caught more than half, if not all of the class staring at her ass.
Taking a seat in the back, he didn't care to set his football equipment down quietly, letting them fall to the desk with a loud 'thud.' Leaning his body against the desk, his arms crossed, he said, "Sakura."
With all of her sparkling, eye-catching, heart-stopping beauty, she spun around smiling. Breathlessly, she told him, "Hey, Sasuke-kun." Closing the geometry book in her hand, she glanced at the clock, "Tutoring's a little longer today."
"Hn. I'll wait."
"Alright." Flashing him another smile, Sasuke heard some of her students swoon - some becoming all hot and bothers. 'Tch. Horny bastards.'
Erasing all of the math on the board, she picked up another book. "Let's move on too..."
"Biology?"
"Chemistry?"
"Health?"
"Sex Ed?"
Giggling, Sakura shook her head, "I don't think I'm qualified to tutor Sex Ed, kiddos."
At that, some random kid said suggestively, "Oh, you're more than qualified, Babe."
Sasuke couldn't resist the urge to roll his eyes at the kid's cheesy reply. Sakura caught him in action; locking eyes with him, she made a disgusted fishy face, making the corners of his lips curl upwards.
"Nice try, but ain't happening." Her reply earned some cries and groans of despair. Shaking her head the boys' shameless reply, she said, "But whoever said Biology...correct."
"Awesome." Once again, Miss. Sakura's tutoring was back in session as the boys' attention were back on her.
But this time... Sakura was going to change the lesson up a bit...
Onyx eyes immediately narrowed, searing holes through the brat's head as Sakura walked towards the said brat's desk. If Sasuke knew Sakura well enough, he knew exactly what she was playing at as he caught the sly look in her eyes. Unexpectedly, Sakura had her fingers traveling up the brat's chest. 'What the hell?' The not so innocent girl had a god damn sexy smirk on her face as she leaned in close. Sasuke watched as the brat shivered beneath her touch; something that irritated him to no end. She was only allowed to do that to him.
He knew better to than to be jealous in a situation like this but who could blame him; the little vixen was giving quite a show to the little brats as she moved around him in such a sensual manner. And she was doing a fine job of teasing both of them, the brat and Sasuke; his irritation spiking to an all new level.
The brat wasn't doing too good himself either, flushing crimson at Sakura's heated touches. His breathing had become hitched at the moment the rosette had her mouth placed beside his ear; her hot breath fanning against the base of his neck. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the rosette's lips move, he gulped, "You know...," she began, "when you blush, the lining of your stomach also turns red."
One by one, little by little, her fingers traveled downwards and back up his chest. Moving all the way to his lips, her index finger drew an outline of his lips.
At this, Sasuke's frown deepen.
Withe her voice like honey, she whispered hotly, making the brat squirm in his seat. "Did you know that it takes 17 muscles to smile?" She offered him her dazzling smile and then her emerald orbs shining with mirth flicked over to him. Her rosy lips curled up into a bigger smile, although this one was bordering on a smirk as she said, "And 43 muscles to frown?" Sasuke knew the last statement was aimed at him as they locked eyes, emerald clashing with onyx. Resisting the urge to roll his eyes at her, he settled instead for a scoff.
Teasingly, she stuck her tongue out at him. Sasuke just merely shook his head at her childish behavior. What he didn't anticipated was for her to leave it out and lick her upper lick at an antagonizing slow manner as if she was trying to get some excess lip gloss off. What used to be a childish behavior turned into a serious turn on. Smirking, "Oh, by the way, the tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body."
Sasuke had to curl his upper lip - resulting in what looked like a sneer to keep himself from lashing out at the little brat. His onyx orbs went dark, even more then they already were, and his lips pursed themselves together in a straight line. He felt a stab of jealousy but he shoved it down brutally. But that didn't stop the anger from rising and swirling like a red tide within him.
And then, to ignite his burning jealousy even farther, Sakura slipped behind the kid. In a second, she bent down so close that her lips almost touched the filthy brat's neck. Speaking of the brat, he had his eyes shut tight, hands clenching the seat so hard, his knuckles turned white. A beat of sweat dripped from his brow, his breathing coming out in uneven, harsh pants. When Sakura happened to wrap her arms around him, the stupid brat froze. "Hmm...," she muttered as she inspected the small gash on the kid's shoulder, "Aww... you seem to have a boo-boo." Squeezing him in a hug, she said, "Here's a hug to quicken the healing process. Hugging releases Oxycontin, which helps heal physical wounds."
Laughing, she released the brat - much to Sasuke's relief. He couldn't stand the kid, even though Sakura was making all the moves. With his arms still crossed across his chest, his hands began curling into fists, itching to swing out and put a dent in the wall behind him or the brat's face seemed pretty satisfying too.
Her melodic laugh continued a little bit longer before she managed to say through fits of laughter, "Fun fact, laughing for 15 minutes can burn between 10 to 40 calories. Pretty cool, huh?" As her laughter died down, she had her fingers posed on her lips in a thinking manner. "And kissing can burn 2 to 6 calories per minute." Glancing back at the brat, she smiled with that little sparkle in her eyes, "Care to test it out?"
Sasuke glared at her. His mouth opened to form words as he growled incoherently and inaudibly under his breath. "Sakura...," his voice dark and deep, venom was practically dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Just as she was about to swoop down and land a kiss on the brat's fishy lips, she stood back up twice as fast. Then, she walked all the way back to Sasuke, a knowing smile on her face. Spotting the sulking, fuming Uchiha, she stood on her toes and kissed him. But the kiss was kept short, leaving room for him to growl lowly, "You're mine."
Leaning her small frame against his bigger one, she nodded, "Yup." Averting her eyes back towards her students, she dismissed them. "Sorry boys, I'm taken. And our tutoring session ends here."
When the brats didn't make a move to disappear, he sent each one of them a spine chilling, silent death message glare. In seconds, they scurried out of the room with their tails between their legs. Turning his attention back to the giggling rosette in his arms, he too sent her a glare. "Explain."
"Hmmm...," teasing emerald orbs peeked out from underneath her dark lashes, looking innocently back up at him.
"Sakura." Immediately, he had her trapped in his arms. With her back against the desk, he had her locked.
"Oh. Just some tutoring." She replied with a smile. Her eyes twinkling with mischievously.
"Tutoring my ass...," he growled, his hot breath hitting her neck. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught her staring at his lips. Smirking, Sasuke landed a kiss on her jaw, then on her neck, then on her pulse.
He repeated this action multiple times until the rosette in his arms became all flustered.
Her arms snaked around his neck, pulling him closer, while his hands gripped her waist, settling her in place. And then, he had her back against the desk, kissing her, hard. Sakura immediately kissed him back, tugging him closer to the point where they were chest to chest. It took almost all her willpower not to melt under his touch. But he knew she wouldn't last long as she trembled in his arms when his tongue came out and licked her bottom lip.
... And let's just say... things got a little heated after that.
