Chapter 1: Lost Chance
Naruto looked down to the water of the small pond in the park. He rubbed his eyes trying not to cry, he took a breath and sighed, the girl he was in love with just completely turned him down, he suddenly felt his pocket ring, his eyes widened for a moment before looking at it, the name said 'Bunny' he smiled at the nickname he gave the girl, she really did remind him of a bunny rabbit, so he named her Bun or Bunny. She was shy like a rabbit and her eyes looked like a white rabbit.
Naruto answered the orange phone and said "Hello?" he waited until he heard the soft voice say
"N-Naruto-Kun, where are you? K-Kiba-Kun is getting mad that you're not here for practice…."
Naruto eyes widened for a moment before saying "O-Oh sorry I guess I lost track of time, don't worry I'll be there soon…" Naruto suddenly could hear the yelling of his best friend in the back round
"Hinata-Chan is Fox-Boy on the phone! Tell Fox-Boy to get his ass over here!"
Naruto chuckled for a moment before saying into the phone "I'll catch the next bus from the park, just tell Dog-Breath that I'll be there in the next half hour…" he could hear his friend still cussing and Shino trying to calm him down, he waited until he heard
"O-Okay, I'll tell him… And Naruto-Kun… I-I hope you feel better, she… She wasn't right to say those things about you… Your not a freak or a idiot, and any girl would love to have you as their boyfriend …Bye…"
At that moment the phone on the other line clicked off and Naruto blinked, he looked to the phone in his hand and saw the time flash meaning the call ended, he stared at it before putting it away and getting up, he sighed and went to the bus stop.
(…Earlier that day…)
"Sakura-Chan!" Naruto yelled out as he rushed to the pink haired girl, he waved and smiled to her as she turned and her face grew disgusted "Naruto…" she muttered as the boy stood in front of her, she watched him smile as he said "I… I was wondering if you want to get ramen with me after school Sakura-Chan…" Sakura twitched for a moment before saying "No, I'm on a diet…"
Naruto looked disappointed for a moment before smiling and saying "O-Okay how about a movie? Or maybe we can go to the park or something?" Sakura sighed and glared for a moment before saying "No, now go away. I'm waiting for Sasuke-Kun…"
Naruto twitched this time and said "Why are you waiting for that bastard? He's always mean and cold to you and-" Sakura glared and yelled out "Don't you dare call Sasuke-Kun that! He's way cooler and better than you! Now leave me alone!" Naruto watched Sakura turn away with a huff and look to the school grounds waiting for her Sasuke-Kun.
Naruto smiled uneasily and said "Oh… Okay, by the way…" he then turned his backpack to him and was looking for something he looked up and picked the present out and said "Ino told me your birthday was last weekend so I got you something…" Sakura turned in anger, she couldn't take it anymore, this happened everyday since she had met the blonde and now she was ending it.
She stared at the wrapped present, she glared before taking the present and throwing it on the ground.
Naruto's eyes widened as he heard the glass inside the present break and shatter, he looked up and saw Sakura yell out "Leave me alone you idiot! I said I'm waiting for Sasuke-Kun not you!" Naruto could see the other students of Konoha High coming and gathering around them.
He watched Sakura glare harder as she said "Now leave me alone you freak! I'm so sick and tired of you always getting in my way to win my Sasuke-Kun's heart. So let me tell you this right now you idiot! I do not and will not, ever go out with you, not on a date or even just to be a friend! I do not want to be your girlfriend because you're a freak! I'm tired of you always coming over here asking me out, I've been nice about it and say no nicely but now I'm telling you in your face! I, Sakura Haruno will never and I mean never go out with you, Naruto Uzumaki. I DO NOT WANT TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND! As a matter of fact I don't think ANY girl wants you to be their boyfriend… Now leave me alone loser!!"
With that said Sakura stepped on the gift and turned away as she made her way out the crowed, the people around them smirked and laughed at the blonde who stared down to the broken gift, Naruto waited until they left as the bell rang, he took a sharp breath before bending down and picking up the present, he stared at the broken pieces of glass coming out of the gift, Naruto felt the small liquid from the perfume bottle run into his hands, the sweet smell of cherry blossoms smelled sour to him now.
His eyes grew dull as tears fell from his cheeks, he looked down and walked to a trashcan, he then let the gift fall out his hands and it hit the inside hard and more glass broke. He looked down before walking away out of the school yard and away from the school.
Unnoticed by the blonde a raven haired boy had saw it all from the gates of the school and glared hard as he looked to one of the upper class window and saw pink hair near the window of the school. He watched the blonde jump over the gates of the school and walk to the near-by park, Sasuke Uchiha slowly made his way to the trashcan and picked the small present up…
(Now)
Naruto pulled the string and the bell rang, the bus stopped and opened its door, Naruto, age 14, got up and picked his backpack from the bus chair, he walked over and looked up to the small neighborhood, he could faintly hear the barking of dogs down the road the screaming of a mailman, Naruto watched as the man run by being chased by about five dogs.
Naruto turned and said "Hey, Akamaru, stop that! You guys too!" he watched the dogs suddenly stop chasing the poor guy and happily wagged their tails at the boy as they rushed over to get petted by him. Akamaru was first, the dog was huge and was no longer a puppy anymore.
Naruto petted Akamaru before being put into a headlock, he could hear "Fox-Boy! First your late for practice and now you destroy the only thing I find funny around this time?!" Naruto gagged before saying "S-Sorry Dog-Breath, I lost track of time and what have I told you about letting your dogs chase those poor mailmen! It's a miracle that they still go to your house!"
Naruto was able to pull himself out of the hold and kicked Kiba in the leg, Kiba yelped in pain and hit the floor when he tried to nurse his knee. He laughed as the dogs wagged their tails when they saw their master fall in pain. Naruto suddenly heard "Naruto, you made it…" Naruto looked up and smiled to Shino who pushed his black glasses up.
Naruto looked around before he saw Hinata running to catch up to them, she saw Naruto and blushed before hiding behind Shino fast, she smiled and said "H-Hello Naruto-Kun…" Naruto stared before smiling to the shy girl and said "Hey Bunny-Chan… So let me guess, Kiba got bored and knew the mailman was coming so he sent his dogs on the poor guy and went after his dogs laughing and you guys went to stop him?" they both nodded and looked down to the still in pain dog boy.
Naruto sighed and said "I see…" he looked up to them and smiled big before pumping his fist in the air saying "Okay! Lets go! I'm ready to practice!"
Shino nodded and walked back to Kiba's house, Kiba got up and told his dogs to come, which they did, Naruto stared at Hinata and said "Lets go…" Hinata blushed and nodded softly as she walked next to him. Naruto watched her out the corner of his eyes before saying "By the way Hinata… Thanks for saying that over the phone… I really needed to hear that…"
Hinata blushed deeper and nodded. Naruto smiled before thinking 'Maybe this is for the better, I mean I always knew Sakura was mean but today… She just exploded on me, and I just wanted to give her, her gift, I worked hard for that money so I can get that gift for her and she just broke it without even looking inside… But…' Naruto looked to Hinata and thought 'Why did Hinata say those words to me?… I mean sure she's my friend and all, its just weird that she said it… And why is she all red? Is she sick or something? Maybe, she might be, I need to tell her dad later that she might be sick…'
Naruto looked to the sky, and at that moment he decided that he wasn't going to try to win Sakura's heart anymore, her words cut him badly like it was the glass that was broken in the gift. As he and Hinata found themselves in front of Kiba's house they walked to the garage, they saw Shikamaru waiting on small chair, he looked at them with sleepy eyes and said to them "I have some news guys…" everyone stopped and stared at the lazy boy who now stood.
They watched him say "I got us a gig up in Suna, they need a band to open up for The Akastuki and we were chosen to go, but we need to leave tomorrow morning because the concert starts Wednesday, but I need to know if you guys are up to it before I say yes…"
Everyone stared wide eyed to their manager and Kiba hooted in happiness, Shino nodded softly with a small smile, Hinata nodded too but blushed at the thought of being in front of a big crowed since The Akastuki was a well known band and it had many fans who wanted to see them, Naruto stared and grinned at the thought, this was going to be great "This is awesome! Our first real gig! I can't wait, I better call the Old Hag and tell her we need the tickets, I'm sure she'll buy them for us and she'll lend us some money for shopping and food!"
Kiba grinned and said "I got to call mom and tell her! And Hana, I bet you ten bucks mom's going to call her and make her go with us to watch over us!" Hinata giggled softly and nodded at that, she then said softly "I better call father and tell him too…"
Naruto pumped his fist in the air again saying "Okay its settled, The Unnormal Outcasts are going to Suna!!"
(Meanwhile)
Sakura froze and looked up to the sky, she stared before thinking 'W…Why do I feel like something is going to change? Hum… Now that I think about, Naruto didn't come to class after I yelled at him, maybe I did go a little overboard with my yelling at him but come on Naruto needs to get that in his head that I will never want to date him. I bet he just needed some time to be alone and by tomorrow he'll be back to his old self… Right?…'
Sakura smiled to herself for a moment as she walked home…
Woot! Done with this chapter!
