-Saya-
I laughed as I ran through the water away from Hinata and Temari who were mercilessly splashing me. I got splashed and got soaked enough that my hair fell infront of my face.
"Alright, I'm getting tired. Let's rest a bit."
Hinata said, a little out of breath and Temari and I both nodded in agreement before following the Hyuga princess over to where the boys had set up beach towels under some umbrellas. I laid down on a empty towel and sighed as I stared up at the sky.
"We should put some sun screen on so we don't get burned."
Sakura said and we all agreed as she pulled some bottles out of her bag. The boys took off their shirts and applied it to their tonned chests and arms and legs. I blushed slightly as I saw Gaara pull off his shirt. I focused on the color of the boys' swimtrunks. Naruto was wearing black trunks trimmed in a bright orange, Sasuke was wearing black trimmed in blue, Itachi was wearing black trimmed in gray, Deidara was wearing blue trimmed in yellow, Neji was wearing brown trimmed in lilac like his eyes, Shikamaru was wearing dark green trimmed in light green, and Gaara was wearing black trimmed in red.
"Here Saya."
Star said and I looked up just in time to catch a bottle of sun screen she'd tossed at me.
"Thanks."
I said as I sat up and rubbed some into my arms, legs, and stomach. I frowned when I realized I wasn't going to be able to get my back.
"Sasuke...I can't reach my back, would you mind...?"
Sakura said holding up the bottle in her hand and batting her eyes at her boyfriend. I saw him blush, which was shocking since he barely showed any emotion, before moving over towards her as she laid down on her stomach. I looked over towards the others to see Itachi helping Sheera, Deidei helping Star, Naruto helping Hinata, Neji helping TenTen. Hell, even Shikamaru's lazy ass was helping Temari. I frowned and looked down at the bottle in my hands.
"Need help?"
I looked up at the sound of Gaara's voice to see him looking at me. I blushed and slowly nodded.
"Lay down."
He said as he took the bottle from me. I was hesitant to do so, but I'd rather not get sunburned this summer. I burned, I never tanned.
I laid down on the towel and rest my head on my arms after having pulled my hair back so none of the sun screen would get in it. I shivered when I felt it touch my skin, but shivered again when I felt Gaara's fingers gently rub it into the skin on my back. I felt him get closer and closer to the one spot on my back that effected me and prayed that I wouldn't react. I silently gasped when I felt his fingers brush over the hot spot on my back and quickly bit down on my bottom lip to keep from making any noises.
"I didn't know you had so many tattoos."
He said and I tensed. Did he not like my tattoos?
"I like tattoos on a girl."
He said and I relaxed some as he continued to rub in the sun screen.
"Why'd you get the wings on your shoulder blades?"
He asked as I felt his fingers brush over each tattoo and I couldn't help but shiver. He was clearly done with the sun screen, but I couldn't bring myself to turn around and look at him.
"Well, everyone has a good side and a bad side to them. I wanted a constant reminder that a person could wind up going either way, so I got an angel wing and a demon wing on each of my shoulders."
I explained and we fell into silence, but I could feel his fingers sliding down my back, along my spine and I bit my lip again when he passed over my hot spot again. I felt his fingers trail along the tattoo on my lower back.
"And this one?"
He asked softly and I tried my best not to shiver as his finger traced the tribal design of the tattoo there.
-Gaara-
I was shocked to see Saya had tattoos. Tattoos on girls were hot as hell, same with peircings and I'd seen earlier that she had a belly ring, and the tattoos only added to the effect. I was glad she didn't have some girly ass tattoos, but then again seeing as it was Saya I didn't think she would have any anyway. She had an angel and a demon wing on each of her shoulders and I listened to her explain why she'd gotten them. I found myself trailing my fingers along her spine down to the tattoo on her lower back.
"And this one?"
I asked softly and noticed she shivered again as I traced the design of the tattoo. It looked like a tribal tattoo with a sun and a moon in the middle. Normally girls with tattoos on their lower backs made them look like tramps, but on Saya it was just fucking hot.
"The moon effects the rise and fall of the tides, the sun effects the life that lives within the sea. They're both in perfect harmony and the fact that I was taken from my natural home I thought it would be the best way to keep it close to me at all times."
She explained and I started to regret asking about it, until I realized she was smiling as she looked out at the sea. Her forest green eyes had a certain far away look in them, almost as if she was remembering something. I looked over the rest of her body and froze when I saw her last tattoo. It was a heart. It was a tan color, much like the sands of the desert in Suna. It looked like the sand of the heart was falling away back to the sands in the desert below. I trailed my fingers over it and notice Saya shivered again.
"And what about this one?"
I asked and looked up at her as she turned to look at me.
"It reminds me of someone."
She said and I noticed she had a small blush on her face, which only made me curious as to who that tattoo reminds her of.
"Hey Saya!"
We both turned at the sound of my sister's voice.
"Wanna come with me to get some ice cream?"
Temari asked and I glanced at Saya to see her smile.
"Sure!"
She said before getting to her feet and walking over towards Temari. I watched as they both hooked arms and walked away towards the ice cream stand a few feet away.
"You've got it bad man."
Someone said as they sat down next to me. I turned my head to see it was Naruto.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
I said and he smiled at me.
"Dude, you like Saya like I like Hinata."
He said and I looked at him.
"And like how Sasuke likes Sakura, Neji likes TenTen, Deidara likes Star, Itachi likes Sheera, and Shikamaru likes Temari."
He said, listing off our friends. By the time he'd finished I was glaring at him.
"What's your point?"
I asked and his face suddenly changed serious.
"She likes you man. You like her, what the hell is keeping you from asking her out already?"
He asked and I sighed. I personally didn't even know the answer to that question.
"If you wait too long, she'll think you're not interested and move on to someone else."
Naruto said and I glared at him again making him laugh.
"Just saying."
He said before he got up and went over to Hinata who was playing a game of volleyball with TenTen, Sakura, and the others. Shikamaru was laying in the shade of the umbrella next to me and I sighed as I stared out over the ocean.
Would she even say yes if I asked her?
I wondered as I looked at the waves crashing against the shore.
"Gaara!"
"Shikamaru!"
I looked up at the sound of Saya and my sister's voices to see them running towards us. Shikamaru had opened his eyes at the sound of his name.
"What?"
I asked as they reached us. They both put their hands on their knees for support as they bent over trying to catch their breaths. I had a rather nice view down the front of Saya's bikini and had to restrain myself from jumping on her. She wasn't my girl so I couldn't do that.
"We need your help."
Temari said after they both stood up. At that Shikamaru sat up.
"What with?"
He asked and they both looked at eachother before blushing.
Oookay.
I thought as I looked up at Saya.
"We...kinda need you guys to act like our boyfriends."
A/N: And there's another chapter. I gotta go to bed sadly, though the weeks almost over and I might be able to update more over the weekend, but school is brutal. Friggin Algebra II first thing in the morning, then U.S History CP, and Psycology after that, then French II all in one day when I'm used to doing nothing but typing. It's not easy to adapt. But it's necessary since I wanna graduate High School. Anyway, please review and I will try my best to update soon. Love you all, but I'll love you more if you review.
