A/N: A little one-shot story, my first attempt at a non-songfic story. Another evil plot bunny attacked my brain, and I had no choice but to give in. Wish me luck!
Based on a quote I read in someone's profile. Kudos to those who can find it! It's pretty obvious, though...whatever!
The Argument
"Forehead-girl, you are so wrong! Birds are so much cooler than weasels! They're all so pretty!" Ino shouted angrily at the girl next to her.
The two were on a stroll, when the conversation suddenly took a violent turn. Turns out that Ino's favorite animal was the dove, while Sakura was all for weasels. A simple comment was all it took to turn the conversation into…well, this:
"-No way, Ino-pig! Weasels are way smarter, for one. The only special thing about birds is that they can fly."
"Even that one thing makes them way cooler than any stupid rodent!" Ino screeched.
Sakura gasped. "Oh no you didn't just say that." She narrowed her eyes.
Ino smirked. "Oh, I went there."
Sakura glared and then spotted someone that made her brighten. She jumped up and down, waving her arms excitedly. "Itachi-san! Itachi-san!"
Ino paled. 'Uchiha Itachi?' "Crap!"
Itachi, noticing the pinkette waving her arms around like a child, smirked. Walking over, he noticed her best friend, the Yamanaka girl, was also there, looking rather pale. "Yes, Sakura-san?"
Sakura smiled brightly, as usual completely unaffected by the unnerving presence of the elder Uchiha brother. "Itachi-san, you like weasels, right?"
Itachi nodded, inwardly bemused at the eighteen-year old girls' topic of conversation. "Yes, I am quite fond of the creatures that are my namesake."
Sakura grinned, turning to the slightly-recovered blonde. "See?! Even Itachi thinks so!"
Ino, regaining her confidence, also turned to the Uchiha. "Uchiha-san, what about birds? They're great, right?" Sakura bristled, realizing that her secret weapon might be used against her.
Itachi contemplated the question. "Birds are intriguing enough, but I prefer weasels."
It was Ino's turn to bristle in indignation as Sakura cheered. "That's right! Birds may fly high, girl, but weasels don't get themselves sucked into jet engines!" The two onlookers stared at the Haruno, who blinked. "What, it's true!"
Itachi shook his head at her child-like bluntness, smirking. Ino just gaped, mouth opening and closing without a sound, much like a fish. "Indeed it is, Sakura-san. Indeed it is…"
FIN!
A/N: A little OOC for Itachi, but it was too perfect to not use him! Also, in case you couldn't tell, this is an AU fic, where Itachi's not a murderer (though is still an intimidating person to most) and jet engines exist. Use your imagination if you wish to fill in the details.
Also, reviews are very, very, VERY much appreciated.
Ja ne- I've got to get back to working on GtG!
