Legendary Lovers

Part Ten:

Sakura couldn’t help the giggle that escaped her lips. She rolled her head back, glancing at the off white ceiling, and collapsed backwards in the same place she’d crawled, in the middle of the circle. The warmth from the alcohol had settled in her stomach and she’d felt the flush spread through her body when she turned her face towards Sasuke. “Sasuke-kun, do you want to marry me?”

Something darkened in his expression as he watched her face. She could feel the saliva building in her mouth as his luscious lips parted. She took the opportunity to stare. It had been so long since she’d been able to do that. It was a past time she hadn’t realized she’d missed.

Ino cleared her throat, causing Sakura to blink and lift her head to stare at her. Ino shot her foot out, tapping her bare toes against Sakura’s forehead. “You are such a lightweight.”

Sakura let out a grunt that morphed into a hoarse laugh before flipping to her side to get to her knees and then crawled back to her original spot next to Sai. She smiled at him and before sitting down she lean forward and kissed the tip of his nose. Sai blinked, tilting his head to the side.

“A lightweight?” Sai said his voice tinged with curiosity.

Sakura looped her arm with his. “It means, my lovely, that I can’t hold my liquor. According to her, but if I really wanted to, I could just burn it away with my chakra. In fact, I’d say I could drink you all u-u-under the table… if I wanted to,” Sakura said, stumbling over her words. She paused and her face scrunched up in thought. “Well, I probably could have, until whatever mumbo jumbo happened in that last fight that made Naruto all heal-y. And isn’t he just sexy in Sage mode?” Sakura made an appreciative noise and started fanning her face. “I mean-”

Naruto gave a chuckle, his face flushed with embarrassment. “Uh, thanks Sakura-chan.”

Shikamaru cleared his throat. “Maybe we should continue the game.”

Ino nodded rapidly. “Good idea. Sakura, since you aren’t using your chakra to burn away the alcohol, be sure you ask a question where you don’t have to drink. Okay?”

“Oh it’s my turn? Well, okay then. Hmm, what’s something I wanna do, but haven’t done?” she asked, tapping a finger against her chin. “Oh I know! Have you ever gone skinny dipping?” Sakura grinned deviously at Naruto. “Drink up, Naruto!” She laughed gleefully as he toasted her before drinking.

“This night needs some spice,” Kiba said. He let out an irritated sigh and dropped his chin into his palm. “We’re young and drinking. Let’s be irresponsible.”

“Kiba!” Hinata bumped her shoulder into his trying to silence him.
