Heyo, I'm so sorry for the delay!!! There's no special occasion today, but I decided I've stalled long enough so I'll get this fic going again. Thanks for waiting :)
Warning: Language, OOC, character parody, AND INAPPROPRIATE THINGS INSIDE!! It's perverse.
PS: Okay…I know that Sakura is being all slutty and a major whore for hanging out with all the guys and trying to tempt them and stuff. But mehh….its my story haha. So if you have a problem with Sakura, then I suggest you to stop reading…because this chapter is going to make you even madder. Basically, she's going to blush when every guy gets near her.
Birthday Special
Prologue
"Dobe…have you heard from Sakura yet?"
"Nope…no invitation…no parties…no nothing. Heck! Neji couldn't even find the list of requirements!"
"What's new, dear brother?"
"Nothing, dear asshole."
"Wondering why Sakura hasn't invited anyone of us to a party? Especially when her birthday is coming up?"
"………"
"Ah, so I was correct."
"Sasuke-bastard, don't you think something fishy is going on?"
"Yeah…I think it's tuna…"
"Shut up Itachi-bastard times two!"
"Hn…yeah…maybe she didn't invite us to a party because she wanted us to have a party for her!"
"Ohhh…sneaky Sakura-chan!"
"Tch, I can't believe my 'prodigious' brother finally figured it out after what's been like…a month. What shame."
"Shut up!"
"So what do you say Uchihas? Shall we work together?"
"Eh…whatever."
"I guess… I'll have to work with the fox… All to see my dear brother's face crumble. Alright."
"Err…well...birthday surprise it is then!"
A party planned by guys. A party planned by four sexy guys. She couldn't help but wondered how hot the party was going to be.
She just hoped they would be smart enough to figure out why she hadn't sent out any invitations.
The Story
"Watch your step Sakura-chan!!" Naruto said worriedly, guiding her towards the Uchiha mansion.
"All right." Sakura nodded and walked with caution. It wasn't easy walking blindfolded.
Inner Sakura: Mwahahaha…this is going to be the best birthday ever!
"Alright, we're here!!" Naruto announced.
"Yay!" She couldn't help but squeal. She wondered what kind of place Naruto was taking her and was dying to take her blindfold off.
"Ready Sakura-chan? One, two, THREE!"
"HAPPY"
"Wahhhhhhh"
Splash!
"BIRTHDAY!"
"HUH?" Sakura coughed, and ripped her blindfold off.
Inner Sakura: What the hell just happened?!
Instead of having her blindfold taken off, she felt a pair of hands push her into a large pool of water.
"Surprised?" Neji's unique voice asked.
"H-Hell y-yeah…" She stammered and looked around. Before she knew it, four muscular half-naked bodies said hi to her. Hi!
"W-What's going on?"
Yeah…she was really surprised and lost. Judging from where she was, she figured that she was in the Uchiha estate. However, she never knew the Uchiha's had such a big pool. A very, very, very uber big one. It was so big that it was hard to see the other end of the pool. Palm trees adorned the side of pool along with other exotic plants making the place look very tropical.
Wow…
"Like it?" Sasuke tilted his head innocently and moved closer to her in the pool.
"Y-Yeah!!" She marveled over Sasuke as she saw him in a new light. She could see a semi-dark blue swimming trunks that clung around his tanned waste under the clear water (when did he ever get a tan?!) and a little golden chain around his neck just to give himself some bling. Sakura always knew he was cool, but never this cool in a punkish kind of way.
"So um…care to explain?" She asked after a minute of shock. The boys high-fived, seeing their attempt to surprise her worked. Hey, guys can plan parties just as well as girls can.
"We'll explain later Sakura." Itachi smiled, "Let's get you out of the water first."
Confused about her current situation, she felt herself being lift out of the pool by the elder Uchiha. She blushed at his hotness of course and her mind went into fan girl mode. Itachi wore a pair of black swimming trunks with black shades resting on top of his head.
"I will be the first one to present you your present." He smirked and led her into the mansion.
Sakura couldn't help but gasp as she entered the household. In front of her was a big rack of different kinds of bathing suits that would make beach-lovers scream out with joy. Sadly, she was one of those beach-lovers…
Bikinis, two-pieces, one-pieces…each one had its own unique taste and sex-appeal.
"A-All this…"
"Yup, all this for you." Itachi smiled and put a hand on her wet shoulder. "Chose one for now and get changed. I suggest you chose a comfortable one today, because you will be moving around a lot." He whispered in her ear.
"O-Oh right." She nodded and went red. His breath felt cool and breezy.
Itachi gave her a gentle push towards the rack and smirked. "My maids will help you chose and get changed in one. We'll wait for you outside."
And with that, he left. After a minute or so watching Itachi leave, Sakura turned her head towards the bundle of beautiful high-class bathing suits in front of her and took a deep breath. There was a least one hundred bathing suits hanging on the rack. She wasn't even sure if she could finish wearing everything by the time she died.
So…the big question for the time being.
Which one?!!
"Sakura likes my present." Itachi informed with a belittling smile.
"Hmph, she'll like mine better." Sasuke glared at his older sibling. Anything his brother can do, he can do better.
"No! She'll like mine better!!" Naruto declared.
"As if…mine will be the best." Neji said defiantly and leaned back on the edge of the pool.
"Whatever." Sasuke dismissed.
For the party, each guy had planned a special game that they were going to play and had their own sets of rules. All of them have to follow the rules of each game without complaint and it had to be fair. Well…they tried to make it fair. Being as smart as they are, they made their game in a way that it will give them a slight advantage in winning– starting with Itachi.
"I'm done!!"
All of their heads turned immediately towards Sakura and smirked.
Tres cute… they thought with devious glints in their eyes.
Sakura, who was oblivious to it all, looked nervously at them and lightly tugged her swimsuit. A red waterproof tank-top covered her upper body leaving her belly bare and a pair of red swim shorts covered the bottom. She hoped she picked out the right one. Itachi said comfortable right?
"Soo….umm….what are we going to do?" She asked the boys who were busy grinning.
"First dear Sakura," Itachi purred, putting an arm around her shoulders. "We are going to have the race. This race has been designed by me so I will not be participating in it. However, since I'm the creator of this game and since you're my favourite girl, I'm going to be helping you along this race because 'a', you're my girl. 'B', you're the birthday girl and 'c', I want you to win."
Inner Sakura: I'm his girl? HELL YEAH!
The rest of the boys just rolled their eyes.
"All right…so umm…what's the rule?" She asked innocently.
"In this race, there will be three obstacles in total. At the end of each obstacle, there will be three flags. For the first obstacle, you have to swim to the edge of this pool where there's a flag. Mind you…this pool is at least sixty meters long with an underground tunnel leading to a private Uchiha forest. Each of you then will have to find a flag somewhere in the forest. It will be attached to some kind of tree visible enough for all of you to see." Itachi explained.
"The flag will be somewhere within a ten meter radius from the tunnel. After you find the flag, which was your second obstacle, you have to run back here. There will only be on victor in this race so there will only be one flag here waiting for you." He finished.
"Wow…this is a long race…" Sakura noted. She wasn't sure if she could finish the race. Let alone, beat the guys.
"So tell me, do we get anything? Why are we spending all this trouble on the race? For all you know, we can just let Sakura win." Neji asked with a frown.
Itachi smirked. The Hyuuga was sharp. "Aside from making this party exciting, there will be a prize if you win the race. I already have a prize reserved especially for Sakura. BUT, if any of you boys win, I will gladly step aside from all games. So in a way, this benefits you too." Itachi grinned sinisterly. Also…I made this race just to see you guys suffer haha….
"Wow, so you're gambling on the winner huh? A one-quarter chance of winning..." Sasuke mused.
"Seems like it." The elder Uchiha brother shrugged.
Naruto analyzed Uchiha Itachi for a few minutes before jumping into the pool. He had a feeling that he was planning something. There was no way he would gamble so much.
Sakura stared at them with puzzlement. It seems as though the boys didn't want Itachi to participate in other games. She wondered why. (She still doesn't know they know that she's trying to find a boyfriend.)
"Ready or not?" Itachi challenged.
"Whatever." They said dismissively and flexed their muscles. Even if Itachi was bound to plan something bad, they have to win Sakura no matter what.
"I'll be cheering for you Sakura." The mangekyou user smirked and gently guided her into the pool. "My present will be disappointed if you don't win."
"Ah…ok." She nodded blushingly and gazed ahead of the pool. It was awfully long. She turned her head to the side and saw Neji, Sasuke, and Naruto looking at her making her sweatdrop. She really wanted her present but how could she beat all these guys?
"We're sorry Sakura." They said. "But it looks like we have no choice but to beat you."
Inner Sakura: They're looking down on you!! Show them our awesome power!
"Bring it on." She said coolly and flashed them a defiant look. However, she was trembling like mad on the inside.
"On a count to three." Itachi announced with a whistle in hand. "One, Two, Three!"
"Check out my froggy power!!!" Naruto whooped and started swimming frog-style like mad to the end of the pool.
"Dobe!" Sasuke growled.
"I can't believe we're with this idiot." Neji commented as he and Sasuke starting swimming after Naruto. Oddly enough, Naruto remained ahead. He was strangely fast.
Inner Sakura: GO! GO! GO! We can't lose!
Alright…Tsunade-sama taught me how to swim…I'll show them my super strength…hehehe….
She gathered all her chakra at her feet and with all her might, she propelled herself forward. To her amazement, she shot past Neji and Sasuke and ended up behind Naruto.
Inner Sakura: Hell yeah!! Girl power!!
"What the hell?!!" Both Sasuke and Neji cried in unison and swam harder, managing to catch up to her. Pretty soon, they passed her by a slight bit causing her to panic. She had no walls to propel herself now and her arms aren't as strong as the boys.
Think…think….think….there's no wall for my feet to propel against…only water…err water….That's it!!
Sakura wanted to shout out aloud for coming up with such a brilliant plan. Gathering her chakra around her feet once again, she also pumped some into her hands. In a flash, she placed her palm on the surface of the water and heaved herself up so that she ended up standing on her water.
There's no way they can beat me now that I'm running. She snickered thoughtfully and started running full speed to the end of the pool surprising everyone this time. Itachi stared at Sakura in amazement with a tint of admiration. Maybe he should…
Nahh….
Whatever his motives are for this little game of theirs (because now he wasn't so sure), he suddenly really wants Sakura to win. But this time, it's not because he wanted to piss off his little brother.
As Sakura reached the end of the pool, she started to panic. The guys behind her were gaining up at a fast pace. What did Itachi say about the pool? Something about ending up in a forest. Her heart was pounding so fast that she couldn't think straight.
"Sakura, release your chakra and sink!" Itachi called from behind.
"Sink?" She echoed hollowly.
"Yes sink!"
Alright…whatever you say… Immediately, she sank deep into the water as she released her chakra. A tunnel appeared under water with lights laminating the path. Oh yeah…the tunnel!!
Without thinking, she swam into the tunnel as fast as she can and hurriedly got out gasping for air. She looked around and saw that she was in a small round pool in the middle of a forest. Four green flags lay on the ground beside the pool.
"Ok, now I have to find the second flag." She said to herself, stuffing the flag into her pockets. "Eh?"
A rough texture met with her hands as she stuffed the flag into her pocket. Pulling it out, she saw that it was a piece of paper with writing on it. Apparently, it was waterproof.
Go straight from where you are until you reach a rock, turn left until you reach a tall oak tree, and then turn right until you see a old willow. A flag should be stuck on it, after you retrieve the flag; head back to the rock and turn right this time. Keep on going straight and you should reach a fence. There's a hole in the fence which you should be able to crawl through. Afterwards, you will find yourself beside the Ichiraku Stand. You should be able to find you're way back here.
"Whoa…Itachi really wants me to win." Sakura marveled in amazement before hurrying off.
"Damnit!! Sakura-chan is nowhere in sight!" Naruto growled as he and the other boys reached to the end of the pool.
"Hey…as much as I hate to say it, why don't we work together?" Sasuke suggested. It was the best option they can choose. If anyone of them reaches the final destination before Sakura does, Itachi will be knocked out of the game.
"Yeah, I agree." Neji nodded.
"Ok, since you have the Byakugan, you go search for a flag. Sasuke and I will track Sakura down and stall her. After you get a flag, you are to run to Itachi as fast as you can."
"Fine." Neji hated the fact that it wasn't he tracking Sakura down, but it was the most logical move to have him search for the flag. "Don't fool around."
In a second, he was gone. Sasuke and Naruto just smirked at each other and disappeared. "Don't worry, we won't."
"FOUND IT! Hell yeah!!" Sakura cheered as she found the second flag. "All I have to do is go back to the rock."
This was truly the most interesting birthday she had ever experienced.
"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!"
"Huh?? Ooof!!" Sakura found herself rolling on the ground as soon as she reached the rock. The people standing over her were none other than Sasuke and Naruto.
"Like I said Sakura," Sasuke said seriously, "We can't let you win."
"So behave and let's chat." Naruto smiled.
"No way!! I want to win!!" Sakura got up but was pushed down into a sitting position by Sasuke. He had his arms around her neck to keep her from standing up.
"It's only for a few minutes Sakura." Sasuke nuzzled into her neck causing some excited shivers down her spine.
"Yeah, you know us Sakura-chan. We're you're best friends remember?" Naruto cupped her chin and brought his face close to hers. "We just want to talk."
"I-I…"
Oh god….two hot half-naked guys around me…close to me…what should I do?!! Neji's probably off looking for a flag. I should go…but…
Inner Sakura: Maybe you shouldn't…Is it just me? Or is it getting hot in here. Wheew…
The prize!!!
Inner Sakura: Oh alright…you can have fun with these boys later I guess…
Sakura brought her hands up to Sasuke's and held them gently in her hand. "Why do you guys want me to lose so bad anyways?"
"Because we're doing this…" Sasuke trailed off.
"For you." The blond finished.
"O-Oh…I don't get it but I-I guess…" She pressed her mouth against Sasuke's arm. "I'LL FIND OUT LATER!"
Opening her jaws as wide as she can, she bit down hard against Sasuke's flesh causing him to recoil in surprise.
"I'm sorry!!" Sakura apologized before kicking Naruto in the shins and ran off.
"Damn!!! Get her!!" Sasuke growled and ran after her while clutching his arm. A bite mark could be seen and the area began to turn dark pink.
"C'mon…the fence…the fence…the fence!!" She yelled with joy and crawled through a hole just big enough for her.
"Aargh…I can't get through!!" Naruto yelped, trying to stuff himself into the small hole.
"I know another way." Sasuke called and ran in the opposite direction. He had been training in the forest ever since he was a kid.
"I'm going to make it!!" Sakura laughed as she ran across a road. Konohanians looked at her with odd expressions as she passed by.
Inner Sakura: We're here! Uchiha mansion!
"Haruno, you're not getting anywhere." A cool voice interrupted her from behind.
"Neji!!" She gasped. He was a few meters behind her with two flags in hand. Ack…I can't let him win!!
Both of them sprinted towards the swimming pool where Itachi was now standing with the third flag in hand.
"I'm sorry that all you're efforts are going to be a waste." Neji said sympathetically, but his mouth bore a grin and ran ahead of her.
"Nooooooo!!"
Crash!
Splash!
"OW!!!"
"YOU IDIOTS!!!"
Sakura, amidst of the confusion ran as fast as her legs could carry her and a minute later, she crashed into Itachi's arms.
"What the hell was that for?!!"
"What the hell was what for?!!"
"We could've won damnit!!"
"What happened?" Sakura asked groggily.
"You won." Itachi smirked and straightened the girl up.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji were all in the pool fuming. As Neji was about to reach Itachi, Sasuke and Naruto came along and accidentally crashed Neji into the pool due to a puddle of water under their feet.
"Congratulations, here's your prize." Itachi praised and bent down at the half dazed kunoichi. Before anyone can stop it, Itachi pressed his mouth against Sakura's and drawled her in.
"Oh Come ON!!" All three boys in the pool scowled.
"YOU CALL THAT A PRESENT?!" Naruto cried angrily. However, he was ignored by the two kissers.
"Ahhhhhh….just kill me." Sasuke ruffled his hair and dunk his head into the water. There his brother was, kissing the girl that was supposed to be HIS, in front of everyone.
"It's all you guys' damn fault!! Useless fools." Neji said in a very pissed voice and turned around so his back was facing the kissers. As the rule they made earlier states: No one can interfere or break the rules of the game made by the gamer. If a prize were to be given, everyone has to accept it at any cost. There was nothing they could do to stop Itachi from kissing Sakura.
"ARE YOU DONE YET BASTARD NUMBER TWO?!!" Naruto shouted furiously splashing water at them.
"Hnn….."
Itachi broke the kiss as both of them struggled for breaths. Somehow, he felt good after the kiss. Sakura, by now had gone from half-dazed to fully-dazed.
As soon as their kiss broke, Naruto immediately jumped out of the pool and grabbed Sakura.
"It's Sasuke-bastard's turn now." The blond pouted. But he was glad to get Sakura away from Itachi. He would prefer Sasuke over Itachi any day.
The game order goes by Itachi first, then Sasuke, then Neji, and then Naruto.
"You'll pay brother." Sasuke glared before going to the front of the Uchiha household.
"I'll be waiting." Itachi shot back.
I hate all Uchihas…Neji thought and followed them to the front.
"Alright, next game is my game." Sasuke announced and took out a little bottle.
Spin the bottle?!! Sakura thought blankly.
Inner Sakura: Talk about unoriginal….Sasuke-kun…you disappoint me…
"My game is simple. It's called hide and seek."
"Hide and seek?" All of them echoed.
"Yup, but it's hide and seek version two. I will spin this bottle and whoever it lands on is the seeker. The object of the game is to find everyone… no duh. BUT, there's a time limit. The time limit is twenty minutes. Whoever manages to stay uncaught for twenty minutes gets to kiss anyone they want – private or public." Sasuke explained with an evil grin.
"What?!! But what happens to the seeker?"
"If the seeker manages to find everyone, then he/she get's to chose who they want to go with."
"What if there's more than one uncaught person?" Itachi asked.
"Not possible, but if there is then whoever gets uncaught will still get to pick. After all, a winner is a winner." Sasuke smirked and pulled out a huge sack from the front door which he had placed earlier. "But anyways, this is hide and seek version number two remember? Here's the catch."
He fumbled around the sack and pulled out four collars, a gun, and a little device.
"This is sort of like laser tag. The ones in hiding have to put these collars on and the seeker have to aim his/her gun at the collar to 'bring' one down completely. This little device here tells us where each of us are for there's a tracker chip inside these collars. This game should really be called run and seek, but whatever. Oh, by the way…this tracking device can only be turned on once. After one minute, it will shut down completely, so use it with care. Once twenty minutes is up, the collar will beep and we are to meet back here."
Inner Sakura: Oohhhhhhhh I LIKE this game!!
Her eyes shined at Sasuke. The drama, the action, and the suspense of the game…she loved it.
"Restrictions?" Neji inquired bluntly.
"No one can take off their collars until the game ends and once you're caught, you cannot help the seeker find the other targets. And no one can interfere with other people: which means, you can't purposely make other people lose. The Konoha boundaries are your boundaries. Sounds fair?" Sasuke crossed his arms.
"Yeah." They replied. The guys had each sworn to follow the rules and restrictions of each game, so no one will be cheating. Otherwise, they will be disqualified. In addition, each guy had their own reputation to protect. Cheating is not cool.
"Alright." Sasuke knelt down and place the bottle on the ground. "Since Sakura's the birthday girl, she'll spin it."
"Hehe…ok." She giggled excitingly and spun it. Each guy held their breath hoping the bottle will land on someone else.
Please… Sasuke thought. Not me…not me…not Hyuuga…not Sakura….
It would take him a huge amount of luck for the bottle to land on Naruto or Itachi, but he was willing to gamble. If Neji gets picked, then they will be as good as dead since he had the byakugan. If Sakura or he was picked, then it would ruin the purpose of his game.
Please pick Naruto or stupid pig-eating brother……
The bottle slowly came to a stop and all of them peered over at the bottle.
"NOOOOOOOOOO."
Naruto collapsed on the ground and glared at the bottle. Sasuke wanted to jump out for joy butttt since he was an Uchiha, he's not going to. Looks like God favoured him. Not only was he blessed with the looks, but he was blessed with luck too.
"Tough fate." Neji smirked.
"Shuddup!" The blond spat and got his gun while the others put on their collars.
"We have a minute to get away." Sasuke announced and activated the time on each collar. "So start counting dobe."
Without even waiting, Sasuke grabbed Sakura's hands and disappeared leaving the others scowling.
"That cheap bastard…"
Neji kicked the dirt before disappearing while Itachi just glared at everything when he went out to hide.
Naruto sighed and bite on his shirt. "One…two…three…"
"Sasuke-kun, where are we going?" Sakura panted as Sasuke pulled her along the street.
"You'll see." He replied and continued leading her. After what seemed like five minutes, he finally stopped.
"The bridge." Sakura whispered.
"Shhh…don't want anyone to find us now do we?" He whispered and coolly gave her a wink making Sakura's eyes go wide.
Sasuke-kun really has changed……he's….
He led her to the bottom of the bridge where a large flat rock rested by the edge of the river.
"We'll stay here…and then, when it's down to the last five minutes, we'll switch to another place. The dobe will probably open up the tracking device around that time so we don't need to worry." He predicted.
He's turned cooler than before…….
They huddled together on the rock as the sky grew dark.
5 minutes…
10 minutes…
12 minutes…
Sakura observed Sasuke silently as he stared at the sky. He looked like he was thinking.
"Sasu-"
"Saku-"
They both shut up.
"You go first." He said after a while.
"No you."
"You go."
"Hey, I'm the birthday girl!"
"Fine…" He gave up and pulled out a tiny bag from his pockets. "My present to you."
"Woww…thanks Sasuke-kun." Sakura beamed.
"I-It's not as big as Itachi's b-but-"
"I like all of my presents, no matter what they are." She cut him off immediately.
Inner Sakura: OH MY GOD!! HE'S BLUSHING!! I CAN SEE IT!! Uchiha Sasuke…BLUSHING!!! Mwahahahha……..
Was he thinking about what to say up until now?? Oh my….he's SHY!!! Sasuke-kun is actually shy about giving me a present that he thinks it's worse than Itachi's…
Inner Sakura: Hot! Hot! Hot!
She quickly opened her presents and her stars appeared in her eyes as she held up the prettiest charm bracelet she had ever seen.
"Wowwwwwwww!!! It's so pretty!!" She clasped the silver bracelet on that was adorned with crystal flowers, moons, stars, and hearts.
"Shhhhh………" Sasuke grinned and heaved a sigh of relief. She liked his present…good.
"I know they're here somewhere!! I saw them on the tracking device a minute ago!"
"Shit…" Sasuke cussed and looked at Sakura's collar. They had lost track of time. The collar had a number three on it.
3 minutes left until the game ends…
Without thinking, Sasuke quickly pumped some chakra to his palms and feet and jumped up leaving a clueless Sakura still on the rock.
"Hurry up and find them idiot." Neji's voice rang close by.
"Yeah…yeah…OH!! Sakura-chan!!! I see you!!!" Naruto yelled and pointed his gun at the birthday girl. Instantly, the light emitted from her collar turned off.
"Uhhhh…." She was clueless and looked at Sasuke who was hanging upside down on the bottom of the bride. He pressed his index finger against his mouth and gazed intently at her.
She nodded and climbed out of their hiding spot. Sasuke wanted her to keep quiet about where he was hiding. Plus, she couldn't tell Naruto about where Sasuke was because of the rules.
"You found me." She held up her hands. She saw that Neji and Itachi had already been caught and they were all standing beside Naruto.
"Where's that Sasuke-bastard?" Naruto asked.
"Sorry, can't tell." She shrugged.
"Awww……well I know he's still around here…somewhere…"
Sasuke felt beads of sweat rolling down his face. Come on…come on…beep already… He pleaded in his mind.
"Go down the bridge and check, foxy." Itachi suggested.
Shit… he needed to kill his brother right now.
Naruto hopped down the bridge obediently and looked around. "Nope, not here."
"Ahh-choo!!"
"Eh?" Naruto jumped from where he was looked up. "SASUKE-BASTARD!!"
"Damnit…"
"Hehe…I got you now!! Victory will be mine!" The blond laughed and aimed his gun at Sasuke's collar.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Sasuke could help but smirk widely. "Dream again. Times up. I win."
"Awww…."
Sasuke jumped up to the bridge with his mouth curved slightly upwards and walked over to Sakura who blushed heavily. They all knew what was coming…the prize.
Inner Sakura: Two kiss on one day? Man…I'll never forget this birthday…
"Public or private?" She whispered.
Sasuke pretended to think about it for a few minutes and gave his brother a daring look. "…..Public…"
He felt a sense of thrill as Itachi balled up his fist. This was better than he had hoped for. First he get's to kiss Sakura, and then he gets to see his brother blow up. Victory will be his for the first time.
The young Uchiha bent down his upper body just so that he and Sakura's nose were touching. "I'll make you're mouth pure again." He breathed huskily before closing in on his kiss. Their tongues tussled with each other for some time and created a link between both of them.
Inner Sakura: Wow…he may be shy when it comes to talking but he's definitely not when it comes to action!
"I can't bare this anymore!!" Naruto squirmed and stomped up to the two and pulled both of them apart. "It's time to play Neji's game now!!"
"God…" Sakura panted. That was wild…
Despite the intoxicating kiss, she suddenly felt bad and guilty. There she was, playing around with four guys…maybe she should just stop…because if this goes on, she's not sure if she could let all of them go.
Ahhhhhh……why do I feel so bad?!! This is supposed to be an innocent game!!
"It's my turn." Neji glared at the rest of the boys. "But let's go back first and change."
It didn't take long for them to arrive back at the Uchiha Mansion and changed out of their swimsuit and into fresh clean clothes.
"Alright," Neji took over and got out a deck of cards from his pockets.
"Are we going to play poker?!!" Sakura asked bubbly.
"No, we are going to play something called goldfish." Neji introduced.
"Isn't that a kiddy game?" Naruto asked.
"It is, but what we are going to play is an upgrade version of it."
"Oh?"
"It's true that the object of the game is to guess a player's card and see if it matches up with your own, the person with the most paired card wins. But there's a slight twist to all of this."
"And that is?" Itachi raised an eyebrow.
"Gambling."
"Explain."
"For each player's turn, one has to guess another player's cards and see if it matches with one of the cards in their hand. But, the person who is receiving the question has to tell the questioner to sacrifice or offer something. For example, let's pick on the blond. In order for him to win, he needs to clear all the cards in his hands and have the most pairs. But in doing so, he needs to ask others if they have the same cards as his. So, let's say he asks Sasuke for a specific card….Sasuke in turn asks him to give up ramen for the rest of his life."
"What?!!"
-Ignores-
"If Naruto wants to win, he will accept the challenge. Ok, so in the end it turns out Sasuke really does have the card he asked for. Good for Naruto, he's one step closer to winning. If Sasuke didn't have the card…then too bad. Naruto can't eat ramen for the rest of his life. Now, Naruto can refuse the challenge too. He can say pass and it will be the next person's turn. Get me?"
"Crystal."
"Crystal…hmm which reminds me." Neji grinned and got out a little package from his pocket. "Here Sakura."
"For me?"
"Who else?"
Sakura's mouth curved upwards and opened her present. Each guy stared at her attentively. Everyone was speechless as the package revealed a ruby encrusted hairpin.
Inner Sakura: How rich are these guys anyway?!!
"Holy…I don't know what to say…"
"Then don't say anything." Neji smirked and gave her a little kiss. "You're welcome."
"That was cheap Hyuuga." Sasuke glowered. "Really cheap."
"You're just jealous."
"Get on with the restrictions white eyes." Itachi growled.
"Hehe…each challenge will last up to three days at most, so the part about Naruto not being able to eat ramen for the rest of his life is false. After three days, he can resume to his unhealthy noodle-eating habit again. Challenges can't be associated with relationships, torture, or death. Yeah, so you can't ask another person to jump off a bridge. Fair?"
They nodded all except for one.
"Before we play," Sakura said with a toothy smile and fumbled around her purse.
Oh no… Neji thought
Ackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!! Prepare for world chaos!! Naruto thought.
……. Itachi thought
Hell no…Sasuke thought.
"Since it's my birthday, I want to make it spicier. Get what I mean?" She looked at them with pure innocence.
"No." They said in unison. But deep down, they knew what she meant...
"Oh come on!! There's no card game without SAKURA'S ULTIMATE DECK OF EGO-DEMOLISHING CARDS!!" She held out the deck of black cards with sparkles flashing around it.
Such irony….
"Damn…"
"What damn?! It's great!!" Sakura said with passion. "I insist we use it."
"WHY DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS GAME?!!" Naruto shouted at Neji.
"Idiot!!" Sasuke grumbled.
"Times two." Itachi commented after.
"Hey, hey…don't get mad at Neji. I'm glad he had this game." Sakura smiled and lightly kissed Neji on the cheeks making his heart melt and others' boil.
"The loser will have to draw a card and face his fate." Sakura said.
"And face her fate." Sasuke added.
"Not so Sasuke-kun. Goldfish is my second best card game." She snickered causing them to slap their foreheads. "So…shall we begin?"
"Please." Itachi said sarcastically as Neji handed out the cards.
Twenty minutes later…
"Sasuke-bastard…I challenge you." Naruto declared.
"If you ask me, you will have to walk around Konoha in tight spandex underwear for three days straight without pants on." Sasuke challenged.
"Fine…do you have a queen of spades?"
"Nope."
"Naruto in spandex…I wonder how many people will puke after they see him…" Neji wondered with a smirk.
"Shut up!!"
"My turn!! I want to ask Naruto now!" Sakura said happily with only ONE card in her hands.
Naruto and the rest of the boys groaned. Sweat was forming on each of their foreheads. Is it even possible to win against Sakura?
"Sakura-chan, if I don't have the card, you will have to rip your deck of ego-demolishing cards." Naruto stated and fidgeted slightly.
Sakura paused for a minute and thought about it. "That's mean Naruto…"
"So you won't take my challenge?!" The blond cried out happily.
"Beep. Wrong! I will accept your challenge." Sakura chirped. "Do you have a queen of spades?"
Sasuke licked his lips nervously, Itachi stared at the ceiling, and Neji prayed for his destiny.
Naruto just hung his head. "……….bang. Somebody kill me."
Sakura jumped up and did the happy dance. "I wonnnnnnnnn!!!!"
I least I got second place… Neji thought in relief.
"Hehe….Itachi…you're the loser of this game. Take your pick." Sakura sang and held out her cards.
"Get a good one brother." Sasuke smirked.
"Funny." Itachi responded with deep hatred and picked out his card.
DEAR LOSER!
Don't yah just miss Sakura-sama's deck of holy godly cards?!! Now enough with the chit-chat and let's announce your punishment. WOOT! WOOT! You're punishment is to perform an orgasm on the second winner for two minutes!!! Oh my, excuse me…I'm SORRY for those harsh words…let's just keep it to a baby level and say that you have to perform anal sex on the second winner! (With your tongue no duhh…) Whew…is it just me or is it getting hot! –Sizzle- Have an uber day!!
PS. Since I'm sooo nice… I will give you TWO options… You could either perform it on the second winner (you are allowed to do it while his pants are on…but it would take a miracle to do that…) OR…you can both practice on a stick. Nice eh? This punishment will prepare you for the future!! –wink- -wink-
Itachi's mouth dropped to the ground for the first time. His ego…oh his poor ego.
"Whyyyyy????" Neji cried out softly. Was this his destiny? Was he fated to have anal sex with a guy?
"Am I GLAD that I'm not both of you." Naruto laughed.
"For once, you're right dobe." He laughed too and received a high-fived from Naruto.
"Did you write this?" Itachi demanded at Sakura.
"Nup…I had help." She smiled. "So which one?"
"The second one obviously."
Whoa-ho….Itachi's pissed.
"I'll go find sticks." Sasuke volunteered.
"Me too!!" Naruto jumped up and went along with Sasuke.
Not even a minute later….
"No." Itachi said bluntly. "No."
"No." Neji stared at the object in Sasuke's and Naruto's hands.
Is it even a stick? It looked more like a baseball bat.
"Happy sucking." Both boys chorused and tossed the stick…err baseball bats to the doomed ones who flinched badly. "Remember…we all swore that we followed the rules. No exceptions."
Of course they had remembered. Damn those two for reminding them.
"Wow…I never thought I would live to see this day." Sakura mused. Naruto and Sasuke nodded eagerly behind her.
"Ready boys? Two minutes. That's all we are asking for." She giggled.
"……….."
"GO!"
Slowly, Itachi and Neji both closed their eyes as they stuck the baseball stick into their mouths.
"Such phonies… I'm sure you can do it faster!!" Naruto laughed.
They glared at him and started sucking.
"Oh come on…where's the tongue action?!!" Sasuke pressed between breathes of laughter, his stomach hurts like hell.
Suck…suck…tongue swirling…more sucking...
"My, I'm getting turned on." The young Uchiha commented sarcastically.
"SHUDDAP!!" Itachi shouted angrily but the stick was in his way.
"One more minute!" Sakura laughed.
"You can do better than that hahaha… make the stick feel special!! After all…it's his first night. Harder! Harder! I don't think the sticks' turned on ye—"
Neji kicked Naruto hard in the head as he bit down on his stick hard.
"Oww…I don't Mr. Stick likes that. Don't disappoint him now…just pretend you guys have some deep connections. I know you want to unleash your horny side to Mr. Dick...oops...I mean Mr. Stick." Sasuke taunted happily and dodged as Itachi tried to hit him.
"TWO MINUTES!! Hehe…thanks for the entertainment." Sakura chuckled.
"My mouth hurts…" Neji said quietly, his face red with anger and embarrassment.
"It's swollen…" Itachi growled, rubbing his mouth. He'll get his revenge on his stupid brother and the idiotic blondie for bringing those fricken huge sticks.
"Want to play again?" Sakura announced and shuffled the cards professionally.
"NO!" All of them shouted.
"Alright…fine…fine…I was getting warmed up though."
"Did you work in a casino before?" Sasuke asked.
"Self-taught." She answered simply and put her deck of cards inside her purse.
"My turn!!" Naruto yelled and pumped his fist in the air. "It's getting late and we haven't eaten anything yet so my game is perfect!"
"Does it have anything to do with ramen?" Itachi asked sarcastically.
"Awww….you guys figured it out…oh well. Let's go to Ichiraku first!" Naruto said brightly.
And thus they went and arrived.
"Alright Ayame!! Show them-"
"Hey!!! There you are Forehead-girl!! I've been trying to find you everywhere!!"
They all turned to find Ino, Shikamaru, and Hinata by the entrance.
"Hi you guys!!" Sakura greeted happily.
"Oh my god!! Are you guys having a party?!" Ino exclaimed.
"Yeah, the guys had a surprise party for me."
"Why was I not invited?! Why aren't we invited? Aren't we your best friends?!" She demanded.
"Yes you are, so I'm going to ask you to join us now Ino-pig. And I didn't plan this party so blame them." Sakura grinned.
Evil… The boys thought.
"Wow…I didn't plan for so many people to play…but luckily, since I'm so great I guess I could bend around the game." Naruto chuckled and summoned Ayame. Soon, the ramen waitress brought in a humongous plate of ramen with eight blindfolds.
"Hehe…if you have seen the Lady and the Tramp, then you'll know this game." Naruto introduced. "Each person will be blindfolded and they will choose a string of ramen. Then, they have to finish eating the strand of ramen until it reaches the end. If you're lucky enough, you get to kiss the person you want. If not…then too bad. This game heavily depends on luck. So…good luck! Pretty straightforward right?"
"Restrictions?"
"No peeking and you can only take off your blindfold AFTER your kiss. Fair?"
"Sure."
"Meh…what kind of troublesome game is this?" Shikamaru stated with boredom.
"It's not troublesome! It's the greatest game ever!!" Naruto cried.
"I'm not going to play…too troublesome."
"It sounds so exciting!! We'll play." Ino stepped forward and grabbed Hinata and Shikamaru.
"Alright!! Everyone, put on your blindfold and pick a piece of ramen!" Naruto ordered.
"Ready? Set! EAT!"
Inner Sakura: I wonder who I will kiss…it BETTER NOT BE INO-PIG!
Mwahaha!! I have a feeling I'm going to kiss Sakura-chan!!! RAMEN POWER!!! Naruto felt his lips collide with a soft pouty one and did a little happy jig on the inside. This HAS to be his Sakura-chan's holy lips.
"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!!! EWWWWWW!! LISTERINE! LISTERINE! I NEED LISTERINE!"
"YOU NEED LISTERINE?! I NEED LISTERINE YOU FUCKING BRAT!!!"
Instantly both Naruto and his partner ripped off their blindfolds and found the Uchiha brothers trying to strangle each other to death. "Sakura-chan, let's go break them up! They'll die if they –"
"H-Hey N-Naruto-kun…I-I'm sorry, I'm not Sakura-chan." Hinata greeted sadly.
"Y-You're not Sakura-chan." Naruto stammered and felt his face go bright red. The soft pouty lips…he was SURE they were Sakura-chans.
"You did not just kiss my cousin." Neji's low voice interrupted them.
"N-No…it's just a game N-Neji-kun." Hinata quivered.
"Hm…" Neji glared at the blond with his arms around Sakura. It was obvious that they had kissed.
"You guys!! Help!!" Ino shouted as she and Shikamaru tried to break the Uchiha brothers apart who were clawing each other now.
"HOW DARE YOU KISS ME?!"
"HOW DARE YOU EVEN TOUCH ME!"
"STOPPPPPPP FIGHTING!!!" Sakura yelled and punched the ground, accurately creating a crack between the two siblings.
All of them panted heavily while Sasuke and Itachi furiously wiped their mouths.
"………"
"Well that was fun…sort of…" Naruto broke the silence and looked at Hinata who blushed.
"Yeah! Yeah! I had a great time!" Sakura chimed in after. "Thanks you guys! This is the best party EVER! You guys are geniuses!"
"I agree." Ino put in and checked the clock. "Ack…its eleven…we better get going…but I had fun…sort of….anyways…NEXT time, when anyone of you has a party, WE better be invited! Happy birthday Forehead-girl!! I'll give you your present tomorrow."
She crossed her arms before dragged Hinata and Shikamaru off.
"Troublesome…"
"Thanks Ino-pig!! Shikamaru!! And Hinata-chan!!" Sakura shouted and waved.
Naruto, out of instinct waved too and watched as the three disappear. However, this did not go by unnoticed by Sakura who watched him quietly. She then gave a small smile and turned to the others.
"Hey, mind excusing Naruto and I for a minute?" She asked. Sasuke and Itachi nodded without even looking at her and glared at each other. Neji just grunted and sat quietly on a stool. "Come on Naruto."
She led him outside the ramen stand and gave him a big hug. "Naruto, I think its time I tell you something…"
Taking a deep breath, she told started from the beginning and told him about his quest about her trying to find a boyfriend. After she was done, Naruto couldn't help but chuckle.
"What?!" she demanded.
"It's just that Sakura-chan…we already knew…we found your list during that Christmas and we figured out what was going on. That's why everyone was so competitive all the time." He explained.
"YOU WHAT?!!!" She almost screamed out loud and her whole face went red. "Huh? Huh? So you guys aren't mad? Why did you guys just went along with it?!"
Naruto shrugged and replied, "I don't know…but I can assure you that none of us are mad…well maybe a little at your little evil deck of cards. But that's it. I think it's kind of fun though."
"Oh…"
"So why did you tell me and not them?"
Sakura jumped up a little as she came quickly cleared her head from other thoughts. "Umm…" she bit her lips. "I told you because…"
"Because…" he pressed.
"Because I don't think you should be my boyfriend. I had just come to realize that I love you Naruto, as a friend and a brother. But I think someone loves you more than I do…and I think you guys are better off than me with you."
Naruto just froze and stared at her. Is she serious?!! Is Sakura-chan serious? "B-But I-I…I loved you Sakura-chan! Ever since we met!"
"No…you love me as a sister Naruto. I know that you love someone else. I can see it in your eyes. You may have a crush on me when we were little but now, I don't see myself in your eyes anymore. My reflection is gone." She said softly. "You will find out over time if you dig deep enough."
"But I-"
"I'm happy for you Naruto." Sakura interrupted him and moved in to hug him. "Thanks for everything."
"……."
Strangely, he didn't feel all hyper anymore when Sakura hugged him. And his mind suddenly filled up with pictures of a shy teenage with white eyes. He quickly shook his head and got the images out of his mind. Was that the person Sakura was referring to?
"I'll be going back in now. This conversation will be kept as a secret alright?" Sakura winked and prepared to walk in to face the other guys again.
"Sakura-chan!! Wait!! To be honest, I'm really confused about my feelings now. And I think I get what you mean…" Naruto scratched his head. "But uhh…I still haven't given you your present yet, so here."
"Thanks Naruto!!" Sakura's eyes began to sparkle as Naruto handed her a little bag. Inside, was a little cat plushie. "Ahhhhhh!! It's so cute!!! I'll put it beside my bed forever!! Thanks Naruto!!"
"I'm glad that you like it Sakura-chan!!" Naruto gave her a wide grin. "But hey…I have a question…"
"Ask away."
"Will I still be invited to parties? Now that I'm- you know…disqualified." He asked sheepishly.
"Of course!! I always need a helper you know." Sakura laughed and flashed him a cocky grin. "You'll be my secret helper! The other guys won't know. Although they'll be quite mad when they find out."
"Nahh…I don't think they'll be as mad as Neji once he finds out I'm starting to fall for his cousin."
"OH! So you have figured it out!!!" Sakura cried out with excitement.
"Shhh!! Not so loud Sakura-chan!!" Naruto hissed.
"Oh right…haha…let's go in now. The others are waiting." She giggled and they went in.
"Took you guys a while." Sasuke commented. He and Itachi had just finished letting off their steam and had washed their mouth three times already with Listerine.
"Ah well…there was something I needed to say to Naruto." Sakura said dismissively.
All the boys immediately glared at Naruto who chuckled nervously. "I think I better go home now…after all, the party is over right?"
"Hn…" they continued to glare at him with jealousy.
"Ahem!!" Sakura clapped her hands to get attention. "I still can't thank you enough for the party. It was totally awesome!! And don't be mad at Naruto…after all…aren't you guys just DYING to see him in spandex tomorrow?"
"WHAT?! Sakura-channnnnnnnnn!!"
The End
Holy shit that was a long chapter…eight thousand something words!! It took me three days to finish it. I really wanted to post this on Halloween but I just couldn't finish it haha. But I did manage to update all my Naruto fics in a 5 week period. Yay!! Hope you enjoyed it! I'm sorry for taking Naruto out of the game but he had the least votes haha!
The current person with the most votes is Sasuke. Then Itachi. Then Neji. So like I said…their romance fate depends on you. :P
By the way, tell me if I should change this to the M category. Oh and you might've noticed that I was rushing towards the end and grammar mistakes everywhere. Sorry bout that. Too tired to proofread. Anywz, have a nice day! Ciao for now!
Oh and for those who supports NaruSaku…here's a little one-shot for you.
Naruto's Mini Special
"Watcha doing?" A seven year old Sakura asked a little blond boy swinging alone on the swings.
"Nothing." He answered and quickly wiped some tears out of his eyes.
"Are you ok?" she asked worriedly and kneeled down by the boy.
"It's just sand." He responded and smiled at her. Although his smile was full of sadness. "You should leave me alone. Don't you know? I'm a monster."
"You are? You don't look like one."
"But I am. You should stay away like the other people."
"Aren't you lonely though?"
"..."
"Hey!! Want to play 'The Princess and the Knight' with me?! You can be the knight and I will be the princess. Then you will come and save me from baddies."
"You're not scared of me?"
"Should I be? You're a knight! Knights are suppose to be heroes!"
"Heroes…I like that…"
"What's your name?"
"Naruto."
"Well then Sir Naruto! I am Princess Sakura! Let's conquer the world together!"
