Splash! Another rock was sent to its end at the bottom of the pool. "Stupid Sakura." Muttered the yellow-haired shinobi. Looking up, Naruto squinted his already narrow eyes and snorted. He reached down and snatched another rock, sending it hurtling across the pool and down into it's depths.
The birds were flickering about the pond, which was set in the middle of Konoha's namesake forests. The birds seemed to be enjoying the lovely weather, but the same couldn't be said for the kitsune-nin (A/N: bad use of –nin, forgive me!). He was pouting at the fact that his most recent attempted to woo Sakura had fallen through, and he had been humiliated in front of the whole town.
"Stupid Sakura!" He repeated, kicking the dust and sitting cross-legged on the ground. He raised his fists to his face and propped his head up like a whiny little kindergartener, and actually did let out a whine. "Why doesn't she like me?" He asked to no one.
"Because you're an annoying dobe, Naruto." Came a charmingly sarcastic remark from the shadows. Slowly, the famed Uchiha boy stepped into the sunlight. His hair gleamed with an almost blue sheen, and his skin shown like polished marble.
"Shut up, Sasuke." Naruto spat, turning away. He just couldn't get that scene out of his head. No matter how hard he tried, it always just replayed and replayed…
"Uh, Sakura-chan? Can I talk to you?" Naruto asked uncharacteristlly timidly.
"Don't call me that, Naruto." The pink haired kunioichi sighed. "And sure. Is this about the mission we just finished? I totally didn't mean to lose that kunai it just slipped out of my hand-"
"No," Naruto interrupted. He smiled that trademark fox's grin and asked slyly, "I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me sometime?"
That's when Sakura just about snapped.
"I've had it, Naruto! No means NO!" Sakura screamed. "You're such an annoying kid! Why can't you just figure out that I don't like you like that?"
By now, bunches of shinobi were gathering outside to watch the fight.
"But I-" Naruto tried to start a sentence, but Sakura wouldn't let him.
"Just go away, dobe!" She said, stomping off.
Naruto stood, staring straight at the ground as all the ninja gathered stared and laughed. As they all began to file away, the scene being finished, one stopped, just to spite him.
"Way to go, loser." Shikamaru sneered.
Sasuke smiled and stepped toward the pool. "You know we're supposed to be training right now, right?" He asked, snickering. "Too nervous to see Pinky?" Pinky was Sasuke's 'affectionate' term for Sakura.
Naruto had just about had it. "Go away, teme!" He shouted, picking up another rock and whipping it directly at Uchiha's head.
Just as one would expect from an Uchiha, he grabbed the rock and crushed it in his palm. "Dobe." He muttered.
