I tie my long pink hair back into a slick ponytail as I head out to the gym to work out. Dressed appropriately into my black sports bra and matching shorts, I start to punch a punching bag, releasing some of the anger and frustration I was carrying with me. Anger and burden from this morning's mission. Me, Naruto and Sai had to rescue a kunoichi in a distant village from a burning house. After we succeeded, Naruto managed to piss me off as usual and say some dumb ass remark, making me angry. It was bad enough that Sasuke was pissing me off with his bad-boy demeanor. Why must Naruto make things worst with his smart remarks? I keep punching the bag until my knuckles hurt. I was sweating up an epidemic and decided to sit on the bench. As I squirt some water into my mouth, I nearly spit it out as I saw a short spiky dark-haired bad boy over the corner, checking me out. I growl under my breath and swear, nearly getting myself kicked out of the gym. Shit! Sasuke. I see him coming towards me. Not trying to lose my temper, I ignore him. Hard as it was, I grab a dumbbell and started to work out again. I feel a tap on my shoulder. I ignore it. Whispering in my ear, he says, "I know you can't ignore me forever." I blow and turn around, sneering at him under my breath.

"What the hell do you want, Uchiha? Can't your dumb ass see I'm busy?"

"Wolf...jeez, beautiful. You're hot when you're angry."

He was wearing a dark t-shirt and brown shorts. Looking pretty bad boyish to me.

"Stuff it, pretty boy! I know all about you!"

"I know about you too."

"You know nothing about me! You've never learned about me nor Naruto and Sai! Even though Naruto's a dumb ass most of the time, he knows more about me than you'll ever find out."

"Harsh."

"It's true."

"No."

"You're a damn lie!"

One of the gym employees told me to keep my voice level down or else he'll have to kick us out. As he left, I stare at him up and down. His tan tone-deaf legs were gnarly with muscle and along with his arms. Sasuke was looking at me.

"You like him or something?"

"Oh, shut up, Uchiha!"

I cover my mouth and growl. Grabbing my pink and white gym bag, I go into the girls' locker room to change clothes. Dressed into my pink short dress and dark colored leggings with my ninja sandals, I leave the gym, wondering where to go next. Probably to my apartment to relax. Knowing that someone was following me, I say, "Knock it off, Uchiha. I know you're behind me." I turn around and look him in the eye. I see that that he changed into a blue shirt and white pants. Like the old days. I shake my head and walk off. Away from him. I walk a little faster, but I see him catching up to me. He couldn't leave me alone! I stop in my tracks, swirl around and grab the front of his shirt.

"Listen to me, Sasuke Uchiha, and listen to me good. Back the hell away from me. Seriously. Stop it. Or else, I'll break your mother...fucking...legs. Got it? I just want to be left the hell alone."

"Wow. Is that a threat from the girl who was so obsessed with me?", he asks with a cocked eyebrow. I ignore his sense of sarcasm and kept walking. Looking at my legs, he kept walking.

"Mighty nice legs you got, Haruno. Been working out since-"

"Will you ever shut UP about that?! It's over! It's done! I don't even know why'd you even bothered to come back! You've been a nuisance to both me and Naruto! I don't know why'd I made him try to bring you back! You're a heartbreaker, a liar, a thief, a...a criminal! Just go away, Sasuke. Go away and never come back. Never. Ever."

Tears trickle down my face. Hoping that Sasuke would have at least a small amount of symphony in himself, he just stands there and smirks. His bad-boy smirk. His signature look. Pitiful for me to actually believe that he still has a heart under there. Damn...what a fucking fool am I! I run off to my apartment, hoping that no one would bother me. Laying on my bed and looking at the ceiling, I hear a knock on my balcony window. Shit. I pray to God that it wasn't him. If it was...I was going to kick someone's fucking ass. If not his first. I get up, pull my pink curtains back and saw that it was Hinata. One of my best friends. Finally, someone I actually want to see and talk to. I open the window and she enters into my room. I hug her and we sit on my bed. I don't know what made me spill my guts to her, but I just broke down crying. Telling her about my issues. Mostly with Sasuke. Hinata nods her head with ease and understanding. She hugs me and comforts me. I silently thank her and decide to lay on my bed. Hinata rubs my back, saying to try to get my mind off of him somehow. I agree. I didn't know how though. Hinata reassures me that I'll think of something. That's the thing about her. Miss Hinata Hyuga. Miss Innocence. Naruto should consider himself very lucky to have a beautiful girl like Hinata. I ask her if she wants to hang out. She flips her long dark blue hair and accepts my offer. Maybe I'll invite Ino Yamanaka too. I might get intimidated by her blonde beauty and effortless curves, but...I'll try my best, okay? I told Hinata to give me a minute to change. She nods and waves goodbye. We hug goodbye and she left. I shower then change into a dark pink tank top and white leggings and also put on my black ninja sandals. Looking in the mirror, I look at my face. Twisting my long hair, I think to myself and smirk to myself. Grabbing my kunai knife, I chop off a long part of my hair, making it up to my shoulders. I will miss my hair dearly, but if it will keep Sasuke away...let the games begin.
