What this is: a fanfiction made to be an attempt at angst and romance. Starts sweet, ends sour. Kinda like a reverse warhead, or sour patch kid. I might just decide to put a bit of sugar at the end instead, so bear with me, I change. Note: characters will be OC, cause let's face it, it's a fanfiction based on an action anime that focuses on mainly two guys.
Enjoy my mediocre disclaimer, which states I don't own the Naruto characters used in this story.
"…Sasuke…"
Said person stopped dead in his tracks. Wearing a long sleeve shirt and baggy shorts, each with their own Uchiha fan stitched somewhere on the back, he was the epitome of Uchiha fashion, if he just didn't carry that teddy bear around. He looked back, seeing nothing but a forest. Our six-year-old Sasuke tilted his head lightly before shrugging his shoulders and walking off. But then the voice called his name again.
"…Sasuke…"
This time, even thought it was a whisper, he was sure he heard it. Turning around, he stared at the darkness for a while before walking slowly toward it. Warily, he called out, "Itachi, are you there?" Slowly, he approached the woods, just stopping before a bush that separated him from being in it himself. Waiting for the call, he never expected the hand that grabbed him from behind. Turning quickly and on a reflex, he didn't know he startled the other person until they both shouted identical screams.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
"AHHHHHhhhhhh… wait a minute…"
Sasuke stopped screaming, knowing now that the person in front of him was hardly a threat. On the ground, probably due to his sudden turn, a pink haired girl stopped screaming long enough to breathe deeply, only to move from screaming to crying aloud at the top of her lungs. While holding his teddy bear to one of his ears and putting finger in the other, he noticed that she was covering her face with her bangs and she wore clothes that were excessively large. The oversized long-sleeved-shirt was her current choice of means of wiping her eyes and her pants were ripped on the knees; indicating falling, probably due to the dragging of the over-long-pant legs. Sasuke decided that he could observe more of the oddly dressed girl after he stopped her from crying herself hoarse. Getting onto his knees, he grabbed her shoulder and squeezed it. He was surprised to hear her immediately stop and look at him with a mild amount of fear. Feeling mildly guilty, he offered her a peace present: his teddy bear. Slowly, her hand reached it, only to quickly snatch it and pull it in closely so it hid what wasn't hidden under the long bangs into teddy dearest.
Several moments passed in an awkward silence while Sasuke contemplated what to do. He wasn't leaving without his bear; they went through a lot together. Sasuke simply sat on his knees in front of the girl who was still on her rear with her knees now drawn up and the bear tightly held in her arms, face still hidden by shadows. Sasuke was about to pick himself up when he heard a mumble come from the girl. "What?" Sasuke asked her. There was another moment of silence before the teddy moved and the girl's mouth was seen.
"…thank you."
Young Sasuke stopped thinking straight for a few moments before he was able to say anything back. "Oh, sorry… WAIT," suddenly remembering what she had actually said, he waved his hands wildly, trying to catch onto the words that were escaping him, "I mean, uhm, thank you, wait, you're welcome". Blushing slightly, he turned his eyes sideways, as if to avoid the gaze coming from behind the pink hair. Silent for a moment, the pink haired girl spoke with a slightly louder voice.
"Haruno Sakura."
Sasuke snapped out of his embarrassment and blinked a few times before he understood it's meaning. Smiling, he said "Nice to meet you, Sakura-chan." Looking up suddenly, a blushing Sakura looked at Sasuke get on his feet as he said, "I'm Uchiha Sasuke, and I'd like to help you get up". Reaching out his hand, he held back his own blush when she grabbed his hand and helped pull her up. Both slightly blushing, Sasuke thought he learned a very valuable lesson upon meeting Sakura. Turning his head away from her once more, he never saw it coming.
"ITAI!"
Rule #1: Always keep an eye on the girl.
Falling backwards into the bush, Sasuke looked at the object sitting in his chest and saw two beady eyes staring emptily into his own. "Et tu, Beary?" Getting out of the bush in the dark, Sasuke saw a shocked Sakura holding her hands to her mouth. For a few seconds, the bangs of her hair moved enough for him to see the green of her eyes wide open, before she turned quickly and ran. Pulling himself together, he called out to her "Wait!" but she had disappeared. Frowning slightly, he ran off in the direction that he saw her go off.
Not that he needed to. In those pants, she had actually tripped and when he had taken his sweet time getting out of the darkness, she was lying flat on the ground, feeling like she would die of embarrassment. Finding her and helping her up, Sasuke continued his merry day, completely forgetting the voice that had held him captive only moments before.
Omake
Orochimaru was walking around the woods when he saw Sasuke. 'Ah, an Uchiha, how lucky!' Quickly hiding in the trees, he called out to Sasuke.
"…Sasuke..."
Seeing the little boy turn and then tilt his head made Orochimaru lick his lips. Yay pedophilia. But alas, Sasuke turned around and started to go away. Desperate, Orochimaru whispered, "…Sasuke…"
Sasuke turned again, and this time started to walk closer. Orochimaru slowly moved and was about to jump out and grab Sasuke when he heard it.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Fearful of being caught by the Anbu, Orochimaru cursed people who could scream like little girls as he started to run out of Konoha. Looking back, he thought, 'Sasuke, you will be mine!' In retrospect, that was a bad idea, because he ran into a tree while looking backward.
Just got back into this. Don't expect me to finish my other ones unless you're willing to suffer extreme delays in this story. If this doesn't end in a oneshot, you can expect this to be updated next week. Peace out. Reviews in plz.
