Hi! I decided just to have another story, don't worry this is a short story like probably five at the least and fifteen tops. This idea is from a book and well I was thinking how cute it would be if I just made it a Sasuke and Sakura story! Truthfully, I took about two ideas from the book and then I wanted to put it in this story. I know, I told some of you that it was going to be rated T, but then a BETTER idea came in mind and yeah.
Title: Was 'Temporary' now is 'Louder Than Thunder'
Summary: What would it take for things to be quiet? It wasn't much, but it could be better. I don't think I deserve this. Of course it only hurt even more when I saw her kiss her right in front of me. He found his way into my heart, that moan was louder than thunder and it pained me, now why'd did I tell my friends that he was my boyfriend?
Beta: Don't have one. :)
Dedicated To: Everyone that's reading this right now. Hehe.
Note: This is a totally different idea then the one I had in mind. It was SUPPOSED to be rated T but I just wanted to make it M for lemons later on. ;).
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor this plot line. Actually, I think that I'll end up tossing my own ideas here and there.
Before you read, be warned that some of the chapters will be in Sakura's point of view. And Sasuke might be way out of character time to time. If you don't have a problem-o with that then go ahead and start reading.
Here I am, stuck in this stupid class just to learn how to play acoustic guitar with my stuck up, snobby mentor. Who is also a total alcoholic. If you make one simple and minor mistake she goes berserk! Don't get me wrong, Tsunade is an all right teacher and all but she needs to pull back a bit. I'm sitting in this uncomfortable stool with an acoustic guitar in my lap.
I begged my parents if I could play electric but they refused and said the only thing I could play that involves strumming is an acoustic. Better then nothing, right? They forced me to play classical piano and it was a total bore. I'm not the type of girl who is really into classical and opera type of music my parents decide my path.
No matter how much I refuse or protest. I sat on that stool trying to play the notes that were in front of me. My displeased teacher stared at me, I could feel that she was waiting for me to die with that glare of her's. Oops, I messed up yet again. Her fucking glare was making me nervous. I could feel a bead of sweat tinkling down my temple that was covered with natural pink hair and passed my emerald eyes.
Pink. That's right, moving on. Right when she was about to criticise my playing the door opened and out came by far the most handsome boy I ever saw in my life. He had pitch black hair, but when he neared the window you can visibly see that there was a tint of blue in it, it was shaped as the behind of a duck's ass. His obsidian orbs, were enchanting. This boy had black skinny jeans on with a black shirt that had my favorite band on it; As Cities Burn. As I said before, I don't really like all this classical stuff.
Trailing after him was a male that had blond hair and sparkly blue eyes. Of course, I was way to quiet to even be noticed. Surprisingly, he caught my gaze and he smirked. Shit. I just got caught, I freakin' blushed and looked away. "Tsunade, we need more chairs. Is it all right if I go ahead and grab some?" he said. His voice was deep and husky, man I would love to tap that.
My alcoholic of a mentor nodded, which surprised me. They knew each other? Well, guess there's a surprise for everything. When he left I felt empty. "Sakura stop staring at that damn door and start playing again. I don't have all day." With a sigh I started playing again, "I know you could do better, you entered that competition a while ago and you won first place. What happened?"
Ignoring that comment, I began playing again. Only to mess up four or twenty times.
I heard a displeased sound and Tsunade left with the door slamming behind her. Usually, when she does this she comes back after about a hour. I didn't want to wait that long! I definitely did not want to run out that door and get caught like an idiot, so I did the only thing someone would do. I opened the nearby window.
Good thing that my practice room is only on the second floor! I grabbed my tote, and I placed my guitar in it's respectful place; in it's case near the corner. With that done, I tied my pink shoulder length hair in a ponytail and I dropped my bag down the window. While I'm trying to get out of this stupid window, I heard the noise of fabric ripping apart. I groaned because it was without a doubt my red long sleeve shirt. Although I could have done this without wearing a white skirt.
I landed on my ass and it did not feel good. I was about ready to walk even though my house is appromixately four miles away. I stopped in my tracks as I heard music and voices coming from my right. I walked towards it, even though it would probably bad idea and result to me getting caught. I was under the window sill and I heard multiple voices.
I starting listening to their conversation, I know it is screaming stalker but I couldn't help it. I'm nosy, so what?
"Where is she? Sasuke, you need to dump her. Karin is always late to our practices. She's going to get it!" a high voice said.
"Let's just start doing this without her, it's to troublesome to wait." another voice said. After a while, there was no sound but only a shuffle of instruments. My ears then heard two drum sticks tapping against each other; four times to be exact. Then I felt my heart beat faster they were playing a song that I loved, a favorite actually.
They were playing 'Empire' by As Cities Burn. They were truly amazing. Of course not as great as the original band, but still it was close to it. Much to my disappointment, they stopped.
Without thinking I shot out of my hiding spot and jumped in from the open window. They were all so shocked, "Don't stop! You guys are amazing! Here let me play the lead guitar!" I know that I could do it, I knew it by heart. It was easy and well, I loved it so much. It may not be acoustic but I knew a few songs.
"Uhh. Okay?" someone said. When I turned to the voice, I was so shocked that I saw that the boy that was carrying the chairs here next to the a blond boy who also had baby blue eyes. I turned to my left and observed the other two. One had long brown hair that was tied loosely with a bow. He must be the lead singer because he wasn't holding any instruments. The other has brown hair but it was tied up in a spiky ponytail.
I don't blame them for having such weired looks on their face. It's not everyday you find a pink haired, emerald eyed girl walking on in to your practice. Who is wearing a torn shirt and grass imprinted skirt. I smiled at them hoping to ease the tension, "My name is Sakura Haruno. That's all you need to know for now, so can we play Empire or what?"
"Do you know the chords?" the spiky ponytailed man asked me. I only nodded. Soon enough, they went to their places and I heard four taps and I started playing. I was actually amazed at how good I was, I know I was decent but never this good! I was happy, so happy that I started head banging and what not. The blond boy was head banging also, and the long haired guy was swinging his guitar in circles.
I didn't want to leave.
The song ended and everyone was smiling brightly at me, excluding the drummer. The brown haired guy who had a ponytail came up to me and held out his hand, "Shikamaru Nara. You gave great skills." he commented I thanked him and shook his hand. Next was the blond boy who seemed very hyper.
"Naruto Uzamaki! Don't forget it!" Okay, this boy had way to much candy. Nevertheless, I shook his hand but only got enveloped into a hug. I smiled softly but hugged back. After a few seconds I figured that long haired man was named Neji Hyuuga. The boy that I was day dreaming about a few moments ago came up to me, but didn't hold out his hand. "Sasuke Uchiha."
Sasuke Uchiha. I would never ever forget that name. "Sasuke! Dude, she's like awesome! Way better than Karin! She should become a member!" exclaimed Naruto. I shook my head at him he was way funny.
"If you forgot, idiot. Karin is my girlfriend and she's already my girlfriend." Ouch, that hurt. He already has someone.
I looked at the clock in the room and I was reminded that my practice was over and it was time to head home. I smiled at the four of them, "Thanks but I have to go, but no thanks. It was fun playing with you guys but I don't wanna get caught ditching my stuck up mentor. Plus, I have four miles to walk and I don't want to end up getting kidnapped."
"We could give you a ride if you like!" screamed out Naruto. I was starting to like him. I was about to answer with a 'yeah' when the door slammed open and a red-head started strutting in, she was walking like a model but in reality she looked as if she had a stick up her ass. I heard three out of the four males groan. I stared at the red-head, she had matching red eyes but was wearing the smallest clothes on her. Short shorts, and a tight revealing tank top. She's got guts.
"Sasuke-boo!" she cooed at Sasuke. Then it all fit perfectly. This girl who the referred as 'Karin' was Sasuke's girlfriend. Also known as their lead guitarst. Double ouch. Sasuke kissed her on the lips passionately and wrapped an arm around her waist. Yikes, that stung. Anyway I hardly know him so who am I to judge that he has about women. She was beautiful, not like me.
"So, Sakura? Do you want a ride with us?" asked Naruto. He's by far the sweetest boy I have ever met.
"Nah. Thanks for the offer but, you guys really need to get practicing. See you around. Oh, and if Tsunade comes in hear and asked where I was tell her that - in fact, tell her I died." I jokily said.
"You don't like her?" asked Neji.
I shook my head, "Not really. She's so stuck up, and snobby. I hate her, she stares down at me as if I'm a piece of meat that's rotting under her gaze." I shivered.
"Ha! I can't believe that! She's mine and Sasuke's adoptive mother!" yelled out Naruto.
I couldn't believe it, I wanted to take back whatever I just said. I took a risk and peeked over to Sasuke who was staring at me with hard eyes. Wow, I must have hit a soft spot. Wait, so if Tsunade is their adoptive mother, then that means these two are kind of like brothers. At least I know that they are not gay!
Instead of looking like a fool I excused myself after saying bye to everyone one last time and then I jumped out of the window.
Hey! Don't look at me like I'm stupid or anything, would you want to risk getting caught? Yeah, that's what I thought. Once I was outside, I looked around and saw grass, and bushes that were blooming with flowers. Guess that's normal when it's in the middle of spring. Anyway, I plopped my ass down on the grass and took out my grey phone out of the pocket of my tote.
My name was on a sticker in big bold green letters and it was stuck on the back. It probably wasn't the best phone out there, some people might even call it crappy. But it worked and that's all I care about. Laying my pink hair down on the grass I was cloud watching, and I somewhat enjoyed it.
I called my mom and after two minutes of arguing they decided that they would pick me up in a hour.
Someone sat beside me and I was only fearing that it was Tsunade. I looked up at the figure and I was so surprised that it was Sasuke, "..Sasuke? What are you doing here?"
He turned to me, and then looked at the sky. "You need a ride, right?"
"No." I said, but on the inside I really wanted to get a ride with him. I mean.. look at him! Of course I still have my pride and I don't even know the dude. He could be a rapist! Wait, he has a girlfriend so he could not do anything to me. He really is cute, his pale complexion matched him perfectly, sucks that he seemed like a total ass. "My parents are coming in about a hour. Plus, getting a ride from a complete stranger is kind of awkward, don't cha think?"
"Tch. Don't think that I would wnat to do this," Correction: Sasuke Uchiha is a total ass, "Naruto forced me."
I forgot the feeling of disappointment that washed through me and then stared at him, "Then go tell Naruto that I refuse, I don't really want to be stuck in a car with someone like you."
"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked. Wow, he's an ass and a idiot.
"It means that I - "
"Sakura Haruno! How dare you skip out on practice!" a voice screamed. I know that voice so very well and I just wanted to out of nowhere faint right on the spot. Tsunade walked up tp be but her angry expression changed to surprise and confusement, "Sasuke? What are you doing here? Whatever. Sakura go back to your practice room!!"
I about had enough of her screaming, "No! I'm sick and tired of all your complaining! All you do is scream at me and point out everything that I'm doing wrong! I want to quit taking those acoustic practices. I hate it, and I hate you!" I was just as surprised as you when I just screamed at my own mentor. Without a doubt, I was going to get an ear full from my parents. At the moment, I could care less.
"How dare you!" she said. I winced at her tone, she sure had a way of words.
"Tsunade. I was the one that bailed her out of her classes. Sorry. Just about to give her a ride home, practice hours are over. I won't do it again. I'll see you at home." he said. Next thing I know, I'm getting dragged down the grass and I know stood in front of a tan jaguar. Can you say rich? I was beyond jealous that he could even drive a car. Of course I'm old enough and all, it's just that my parents disapprove and they have fears of me getting in a car crash.
The car ride that I had with Sasuke a day ago was so awkward! It was all quiet and whenever I was trying to be nice and ask a question, he just answers with a 'Hn' or something like that. Sasuke Uchiha is a ass, idiot, and a complete bastard. When someone asks you a question you do not just glare at them adn answer with an unexisting word or grunt. I was thinking about buying him a manners book, it'll do him good.
Anyway, I'm in school right now. Spring break just ended and all my friends went on this cruise while I was at home taking lessons. I wanted to go, but my parents were going mad when I asked. Anyway I was waiting for the bell to ring so I could actually learn something useful in history. Then, being tackled by your friends and going information overload is never useful. "Ino! Slow down with the talking please. You too, Tenten. I'm glad that Hinata is the quiet one!" I said getting them all to shut up.
Ino Yamanaka is loud and somehow, she's been my best friend for the longest time ever. She is a total shopaholic and she is boy crazy. Ino has blond hair that reaches her waist and some blue eyes.
Tenten, well Tenten never tells anyone her last name. We, her best friends, don't even know. But she has trust problems so I understand that whatever happened to her past it still hurts her. Anyway, she's the tomboy of the group. She has her feminine side but she prefers not to be one of those girls that only cares about their nails. Her hair is brown and is always tied up in two buns. If it were ever down, it would reach her mid-back.
Hinata Hyuuga is shy girl, but so trustworthy and always knows what to say. Her hair is a dark blue, as weired as it sounds, and what's odder is how she has pupiless white eyes. It suits her though, she doesn't stutter whenever she's around her friends and the people she's use to but when she meets someone knew, you can't understand what she's talking about half the time!
Those are my friends, and those are the people who went on that cruise. "Whatever. Anyway! We met these cute boys and I think we found the perfect match for you for prom!" said Ino.
Crap, did I mention that prom is like... three weeks away? What's bad is that I don't have a date, and it seems that Ino and everyone else has. They are all so beautiful, and have great personalities. I well I just have pink hair and green eyes. How cool is that? "You're setting me up on a blind date? For prom!?" I screamed.
We were silenced by our teacher and the conversation ended.
"Isn't it cool? His name is Shikamaru, and I met him like four days ago." Wait back up, Shikamaru? I know him! I listened for any description that might tell me it really is Shikamaru Nara that I met a while back. "He has brown hair, and it's up in a ponytail." Yep, that's all I needed to know.
"Shikamaru Nara?"
"Yeah! How did you know him?" asked Ino. Then I had to tell them the whole story about me jumping from a window, meeting everyone and whatnot. "I don't know a Sasuke.. All I know is this guy I'm trying to hoook you up with, his name is Gaara Sabaku and he's a total hot stuff. I mean, if I didn't have Shika then I would have gone for Gaara."
"Ino, I seriously don't think this is a good idea." I protested, I mean. I'm just a geek who has popular friends. Yeah, I'm a geek that has perfect grades who strangely has beautiful friends. "What if I meet him and I'm not what he expects?" It was always a possibility. Though, I guess it makes sense. Hot girls only means that they have hot friends. "I even have a boyfriend!" I couldn't stop whatever I said before I came out.
"Really?!" said Tenten astonished, "Who is it?"
"Sasuke Uchiha!" Oh my god, what kind of trouble am I getting myself into? Oh right, this all started when I didn't want to go on a pity date for prom. I then smirked, it wouldn't hurt to toy with them. It isn't like I'm going to see him ever again. "Yeah, his name is Sasuke and he is so handsome. He even said I was the prettiest girl he ever saw."
Hinata smiled at her, "That's great! Is he going to prom with you?"
Damn, so close. I quickly thought of another lie, "He's a drummer, and he has this concert.."
"He's in a band?! That's so hot! So is Shikamaru. Now that I think about it, Shikamaru, Neji, and Naruto are all in a band." Why can't I be lucky for once? I'm a good person. Instead, I'm getting into more deeper trouble. How gay is that? I think, ... no wait, I knew that this was not going to end well. "You don't have a choice anyway, with Gaara. I already planned a whole day for us. Saturday we're going to my house and go swimming. Since this Sasuke isn't going to bring you to prom why can't you go, but with someone else? Maybe get him a bit jealous." winked Ino. I groaned but then again, maybe hooking up with another guy isn't bad.
I mean, Sasuke isn't really be so called 'boyfriend' and yeah. But like I probably could lie my way out. Yes! That would totally work, hopefully this whole thing doesn't backfire somehow. "If I agree to meet this Gaara guy, and I do not have any interest in him, would you guys just please back off? I can control my own love life." I said.
They all nodded and it was settled. Saturday, which is in three days I'm going to meet Gaara Sabaku.
Yep, there you have it. Long chapter you wanna know why? Because this is going to be on a slow update! Haha! Review please and tell me what you think. Time to work on Sexual Orientation!
