"No."

These words rang through the halls of Konoha University. People stopped and stared, teachers stood there with the mouth ajar.

Kari Wiledson (her full name was Hikari, but she hated being called by her full name) had just rejected Itachi Uchiha. Granted, Kari was the heart throb of most of the male population in KU, but no one in the history of EVER has rejected Itachi Uchiha. Everyone new he was going to be famous one day, producing his own music with his band Akatsuki.

And (might I add) Itachi Uchiha was fine (like, he was the definition of eye candy).

"May I ask why?" Itachi kindly asked, not flustered at all.

"I'm sorry, but I'm just... really not looking for a relationship right now. I'm sure you can understand. Besides, you'll have no trouble rebounding from a rejection from little old me, right? After all, your Itachi Uchiha." Kari batted her eyes, turned on her heels, and walked away, with a trail of "click, click" from her (totally hot) new Micheal Kors heels following her.

Itachi simply sighed and walked away. Believe it or not, Kari and Itachi had been friends at one time. Best friends. His father and Kari's mother had worked together as policemen (and women). They practically were attached at the hip... when they were five.

But that's besides the point. When they were 8, Itachi had crept into his dad's office and... er... borrowed his father's gun. Needless to say, Kari came over that evening and Itachi had wanted to go outside and try to catch the bad guys. Kari thought it was incredibly stupid, of course, and had tried to take the gun away from him. In the midst of the tug-of-war, Itachi had accidentally hit the trigger and scarred Kari for life, and from then on, they just... drifted away.

But when Itachi entered the seventh grade, he noticed how much Kari changed. Her eyes were a glowing shade of blue, and she had died her hair a dark shade of brown. She had... obviously reached womanhood, as (well, to put it bluntly) her boobs were huge.

But of course, it was all the hormones, or so Itachi thought. Ever since seventh grade Itachi had a growing crush on her, and even followed her to college. In the sophomore year at KU, he had the guts to ask her out, but she down right rejected him and skipped on her merry way as if nothing happened.

But if Itachi had learned one thing over the years (mostly from chick flicks he was forced to watch, keyword being, forced), it was to never give up.

And so, not give up he will.


A/N: Been a while, eh?

Sorry, Lately (as practically the past half a year, sorry guys), I haven't any inspiration (or motivation for that matter). But a big thank you to nevergrowup83, since you gave me both when I found a little email saying you followed me.

This one's for you!
