"Alright class, that's it for the day. Don't forget to practice your flips at home for tomorrow's testing. Forward and backward!" Sasuke closed the notebook that was in his hand and moved to stand from his seated position at his desk. The clattering of chairs being scooted into their desk filled the room as the children ran off. One after another, they clenched their books and notes to their chest, laughing on the way out of the door. Sasuke smiled, sighing from the long day as he took a seat back in his chair. He had a pile of papers to grade, and the worst urge to just scribble down passing grades on all of them, just so he could go home early. Without looking up, he took a paper that was slid onto his desk. "This paper is late, but I'll let it slid this time...?" The hand that had slid the paper was much too large to be that of a child. The thin fingers delicate with the fingernails manicured and decorated. Looking at the paper, the name that was roughly scribbled on was that of a male student anyway.
"Hehe, it feel off your desk, Sensei. I was just picking it up for you", spoke an oddly familiar voice. It was not one Sasuke had heard in over a year. "Sakura, I think you're a little too old for this grade level." Sakura pouted her pink lips, her long rose colored hair was done up in a decorative bun.
"Sasuke, it's not polite to call a lady too old for anything." Sasuke looked up with a calm smile, hiding his irritation well behind his round glasses.
"I apologize, what brings you here? And more importantly, why are you dressed like that?" Sakura was not in combative gear, that was for damn sure. Her make-up was neatly done, her hair pulled into a wrapped up-do with decorations of jingling flowers. Even her dress was elegant and flowing in red and white. Blushing, she looked down at herself. Her body had started to fill out, no longer the rough and steady girl frame she once had. "I snuck away." Her voice was soft, sweet to the ear as her long eyelashes fluttered. Sasuke tilted his head, standing up to look at her better. "This is a bit far away to be sneaking out anywhere. I suggest you go." Walking away, the man stopped. Turning his head only, his back turned to Sakura as had reached out to him. Grabbing the back of his shirt, she clung to it with one hand. Sasuke sighed, lifting his glasses up just enough to rub his eyes. "That dress; That's a wedding gown, right? You're getting married." The words only made Sakura cling harder, her other hand coming up to grab the shirt as well. Frowning, she put her face against his strong back. "Sasuke, I..." The man turned, smiling and put his arms around her.
"I'm happy for you."
"Sasuke! Sasuke! Are you still in here...?" Naruto had come into the room, seeing only Sasuke hugging this well-dressed, beautiful woman so lovingly. His jaw practically dropped. With a strong hand, there was crushing boxed lunch that he had brought. "Sa.Su.Ke." Sakura blushed, turning around to see Naruto. Immediately, her eyes watered up and she ran to cling to him instead. Naruto was surprised, even before he could say her name, it was his turn to be clung too by his wailing friend. "What the hell? Sasuke! What did you do to her!" Sasuke huffed, snatching his lunch from Naruto's hand.
"I didn't do anything. She's the one getting married and ran off." In the midst of the confusion, somehow it was decided it was best to take Sakura to their home to sit down over dinner to figure out exactly what happened.
"Wait, wait. Start from the beginning. Who is going to marry who again?" Naruto asked, pouring more wine into his cup as the three of them sat around the table in his kitchen. Naruto had cooked up some duck ramen, three large bowls for supper. Sakura was eating roughly, gulping down the wine as she was already slightly belligerent from the alcohol. Sasuke was watching, leaning his head against his palm. "I told you! Tsunade arranged my marriage to Gaara!! Politics! Politics! Gaara is popular and a powerful ally, and I'm Tsunade's second. He doesn't really have much of a choice either. But we don't really wanna..." Naruto gave a nervous laugh. "Why? Gaara is a great guy and I guess he must have a thing for you. But I guess, maybe you should date first. Or even, talk about it?"
"NO! Absolutely not! I'm saving myself for Sasuke!" Naruto's eyes narrowed, his eyebrows twitching.
"Oh, is that so?"
Sasuke blinked then, starting to laugh heavily.
"There's no way you're going to save yourself for me. You might as well join a convent."
"SASUKE!" Naruto nailed a powerful kick into Sasuke's shin, but Sasuke didn't let off.
"Hey, Sasuke. That's pretty mean...", Sakura pouted, her moist lips puckering as she leaned over. Sasuke immediately stood up, avoiding whatever drunken sign of affection Sakura was plotting against him. He leaned down to Naruto's ear, gently whispering his threats. "Tell her about us, or I will." Naruto froze up, looking at Sasuke's glare before he changed faces to smile at Sakura. "Good night, Sakura. I have a busy day tomorrow." Sakura waved, then grinned down to Naruto. "Hey, you think he's inviting me to his room?" Naruto laughed again, refilling her cup. "No,No, he's actually tired. Besides, you're getting married right? Why would you even consider already cheating on Gaara? He really is a great guy..." Sakura lowered her hand to her lap, looking down at her fingers.
"Yes, yes he is. He was the only one able to be heard while supporting you two. If not for him, you might be in jail or worse, and Sasuke. Sasuke would have been executed for high treason. He had really put forth a lot of work without asking for anything in return. Even supplies and worker to help rebuild our village. He...He...." Large tears began to come down Sakura's face, her hands cupping to hide her shame. "But he's not Sasuke. To me, no one can replace Sasuke. I loved him, and I still do. No matter how many times he rejects me, I..." Naruto stood in his chair, putting his large, but loving arms around her.
"Sakura, you don't deserve Sasuke. He's really a selfish guy. You deserve someone like Gaara, who isn't scared to fight against those that oppose him in a peaceful manner. Someone who stood and died for protecting his country and friends, even those that didn't believe he could do it. You look really beautiful in your dress." Sakura forced out a laugh then.
"No. No, I look a mess now." She looked up at Naruto, her tired green eyes meeting his sincere and calm blue ones.
"I bet Gaara is worried sick about you by now, ya know?" Sakura smiled a little, giving a nod.
"I bet he knows I'm here. He's pretty smart and where else would I go?" Standing up, she blushed more. "Bathroom."
"Eh?" Naruto blinked, looking up at her. "Oh, down the hallway in the very back. Sakura had cupped her hands between her legs, hurrying off down the hallway in tapping heels. Naruto just smiled, going back to lounge exhaustedly in his chair. 'What the Hell am I suppose to tell her?', he thought to himself, drinking whatever was left in his cup before polishing off what Sasuke left behind. Sakura had managed to make it to the toilet, having to gather her annoyingly long and fluffy dress in order to use it. She took her time, cleaning off her makeup and let her hair down, that curled gently to one shoulder. She removed the outer part of the gown, leaving on the white slip that almost looked like a sun dress. She really had become quite a beauty, even if she didn't have the confidence in herself to believe so.
Walking back slowly, her heels dangling from her hand as she walked barefooted on the floor. She caught a glimpse of the light from the cracked door of the bedroom. Sasuke had changed into his kimono, pacing back and forth in frustration as he waited for Naruto. He looked worried, nervous, perhaps, even scared. With an irritated huff, he went to go sit on his bed and saw Sakura peeking. Hoping up, he went to open the door, just enough to get his head out. "What?" Sakura had managed to get a good look at the room, a little startled that Sasuke had come out so quickly. "I just wanted to say good night. I'm going to go back now..." Sasuke offered a smile, even though his eyes weren't happy to see her.
"I see, good night then." He turned to close the door, but Sakura had called his name again. Stopping, he turned to look at her. "Hm?"
"...Nothing. It's nothing. Good night." Sasuke nodded, closing the door all the way then and shut off the light. Naruto had overhead some noises and came out of the kitchen to find her. "Eh? You changed?" Sakura sighed, smiling.
"Yeah, it got hot. Can you walk me into town?" She went to the door, slipping her shoes back on. Naruto gave a nod, smiling then.
"Course. Let me just tell Sasuke first...SASUKE!"
"WHAT?!"
"I'M TAKING SAKURA BACK TO TOWN!"
"SO?"
Naruto sighed, fluffing up his hair. "What a pissy guy, he is..." Sakura only giggled, standing with her shoes on, her dress folded up in her arms. Naruto quickly slipped on his flip flops and opened the front door for her. They walked in silence down the winding dirt road, the lights of the town just in the distance. "So, you're headed to the train depot? Or the hotel?" Naruto had to break the silence, as this walk was like the one he had with her over a year ago when he told her that he was staying with Sasuke. Saruka nodded. "Yes, I'm at the local hotel for a fitting. The train leaves in the morning..."
"Ah..." The silence became heavy again. "So, you know..um...Sasuke loves you, but sort of like a sister...You shouldn't say things like you wanna sleep with him. He kind of likes someone else..." Naruto choked on his words, no clue as he how terrible he sounded. Sakura looked down, hugging her dress to her supple chest. "One bed." Naruto looked over at her, raising and eyebrow.
"One bed?"
"There is only one bed in your bedroom. You and Sasuke's. There is only that one bed."
'Shit', Naruto thought to himself, his face stricken with a look on how he was going to talk himself out of this one. Sakura looked at him, smiling sadly.
"It's alright. Everyone already knew how Sasuke felt about you, but that doesn't stop us from being jealous. It was only a matter of time before he got you. He's pretty sneaky like that."
"Got me, huh?" Naruto laughed, thinking about it. "Yeah, maybe." He shrugged, walking ahead as Sakura stopped.
"Did you tell him about us, Naruto?" Naruto froze, turning around. He gave a sentimental smile and nodded.
"Yeah, I did."
"What did he say?"
"Sasuke? He didn't say anything much. He sort of just said, 'Oh.' "
Sakura laughed, despite her eyes filling up with tears again. "Oh? That's all?" Naruto nodded, turning to look up at the desert moon.
"Yeah. He said, Oh."
The woman sighed, tucking her hair behind her ears and continued to follow. They remained quiet, but went hand in hand until they reached the doors of the hotel. "Did you want to come up?" Sakura asked, her body clung to Naruto's arm.
"You know I can't. You should get some rest. I'd hate to have to send you back go Gaara hung over." She laughed, pulling away and wiped her face.
"I must look pretty stupid." The blond smiled, putting his arms around her.
"Nope. You look cute as always. Send us an invite to the wedding, okay? Tell Gaara that is he breaks your heart, I'll kick his raccoon ass up and down the desert." Sakura laughed at that, shaking her head.
"Like you'd stand a chance." Naruto just shrugged, taking a step away and turned his back to leave.
"It was nice to see you again."
She smiled, waving as well, then disappeared into the double doors of the lobby with a sad face. Naruto's smile faded as well, giving a heavy sigh as he started his walk back home again.
