Memory Chapter 1
All the homies, they know what I mean
Baby let me show you how I lean
(Like a cholo)
Lay back, bounce in the club
When we do a dance we do it like what?
Like a, like a cholo
Side to side, elbows up-up
Side to side, elbows up
Side to side, el-elbows up-up
Side to side (like a cholo)
All up in the club, ten deep
Lookin' for some hyenas, we on the creep
I need a bad one, a real freak
Find them on the dance floor, so don't sleep
DAMN,
I like you, I like you, but I really want her
She's that type, I can tell
Let me get in too deep
Take her back to the hotel...
Naruto's POV:
"Hello?" I said sheepishly. Feeling pissed off that someone would call so fucking early in the morning.
"NARUTO! WAKE THE HELL UP!" 'Can she be any louder?'
"Damnit, Why do you always have to yell?!" I shouted through my cell phone.
"Just meet us over at the bridge. We have an escort mission to complete." 'She ignored my fucking question.'
Team 7 would meet at the center of the bridge before a mission. Only our Sensei knew what the mission was about. I went along with it anyways.
"Wait, I thought Grandma Tsunade gave Team 7 the day off. What the hell happened?" I was thinking that she said this so she could go and spend the day with Sasuke. 'Yeah, ditch me and go on a date with that bastard!'
"Meet us over here and we'll tell you more about it, bye." 'Sakura seemed worried. I wonder why?'
"Ok, bye." We both hung up the phone. "I guess I have to go take a shower now." I let out a long sigh, before heading to the shower. Almost knowing what was going to happen next, almost.
After I got out of the shower, I put on a pair of orange skinny jeans, a white, short sleeved t-shirt, and an orange sleeveless jacket. I thought about having breakfast, but Sakura would fucking kill me if I was any later than I already am. So, I grabbed an energy bar from the cupboard and headed toward the bridge.
'Why did Lady Tsunade say we had the day off if we have a mission? We have a mission tomorrow, but I doubt she's sending us out early. It might be a test. Damnit, I'll just have to wait and ask.'
When I got to the bridge, my mind still on other matters, I managed to say, "Sakura I'm-"
"SURPRISE!" That's when I looked up and noticed everyone. "-here." I was shocked.
I was happy that everyone showed up. Neji, Lee, and Tenten. Hinata, Kiba, and Shino. Ino, Choji, and Shikamaru. Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari. Jiraiya, Iruka-Sensei, and Kakashi-Sensei. Captain Yamato, Sakura, and Sai. I guess even Sasuke showed up, too.
'Yes! Score 1 for me! Wait this might be just like... like last time.'
"W-What is this?" I thought it was a party just for me, but I was wrong. It was just like last time. And all the other times.
"You know, silly," Sakura answered. "It's Team 7's 6th anniversary and Sai's 2nd." 'I know I should be happy about this, but I never am. Sakura has this 'anniversary' thing ever since Team 7 got together six years ago. I was 12 at the time. I don't understand why she has to celebrate it today. Today was supposed to be the day I turn 18, instead Team 7 turned 6. And I'm lonely once again.'
"Come and have some cake with us." My thoughts were interrupted by Sakura. "Ah...sure." I wasn't in the mood to eat or say 'hi' to anyone. I just wanted to run home and watch movies all day long. I felt like crying. I felt like I had remembered something. Someone said something...
* Flashback *
"Hey, dope." I turned around and noticed Sasuke was in a better mood than normal.
"Hey, Sasuke!" I mentally cursed myself for saying his name, instead of 'teme' or 'bastard.'
"What the fuck are you so happy about?" 'Damnit, why did he have to change his attitude like that?'
"Why the hell do you have to know?" I gave him the same annoying attitude I always give him.
He looked a little annoyed. "Tch. I was going to ask you, if you were interested in going to Ichiraku with me?" I gave him a puzzled look. I wanted to say yes, but, "What's in it for you?" I asked.
'He wouldn't just ask me to go to Ichiraku with him, unless there was a catch.' "For one I haven't eaten yet and I know you haven't either." He answered making a point.
It was true that I hadn't eaten but, "But why would you waste your money on me?" I asked, feeling as though I should have just accepted his offer. But I still don't understand.
He let out a sigh and with a firm voice he said, "Do you want to eat at Ichiraku or not?" I immediately replied 'yes', as always. He then gave me his answer, "So, it's settled. I'm treating you to dinner." He said this with a straight face, yet he seemed calmer and nicer, which isn't like him at all.
I acted like I was pissed off, but in truth I was really happy.
I ordered the usual, Miso and pork ramen. Sasuke surprisingly ordered the same. Normally he doesn't care for ramen; he'll only order the rice balls with Bonita filling. "Why get ramen, when you like the rice balls?" I was puzzled at this.
He was looking at me with the same stare as always. "I wanted to know why the hell you liked it so much." He stated. 'I hated this change in attitude.'
"If you really wanted to know, it has the best taste ever and I feel like I'm floating when I eat it." I explained. 'How hard is it to understand that much?' "Okay." Was his only remark.
He grabbed his chopped sticks and began eating. I stared at him for a second, blinking, then looked down at my food.
'Why did he just drop it like that? He'd usually start yelling that I should 'eat healthier' or 'eat real food'. We've never really had a conversation where neither one of us left without a black-eye or cut-lip. So why was he being so nice to me?'
"You know your food is going to get cold if you don't start eating." Sasuke interrupted my thoughts. "Ah...sorry, I guess I was just lost in thought." He nodded and continued eating. I didn't want him to know I was thinking about what he had said, or rather what he hadn't said.
I picked up my chopped sticks and began eating. The food was colder than that of my taste, but I didn't mind. It was still the best and I was glad that I wasn't eating dinner alone tonight. I smiled at this thought.
I was ready to thank him and head home when I felt a hand tug and drag me into the darkness of the night. "Ahhh! Sasuke!" We had stopped and I could see Sasuke's outline in the moonlight.
He still had a hold of my hand, though I didn't pull back, I enjoyed the warmth from his hand. I tried to figure out why he had dragged me out here.
Before I could ask, I felt a warm body press against mine. And I realized that it was Sasuke, he was hugging me. I could feel my face heating up, but I tried to push it back down. "Happy birthday, Naruto." I could feel his hot breath on my ear as he said this. At this I could see my vision blurred and hot tears started running down my cheeks.
I've never heard anyone, not even Iruka-Sensei, say this to me. I couldn't have been happier.
"Sasuke," I breathed.
"Yes, Naruto." I could tell he was smiling.
"You can stop hugging me now." I wiped away tears as I said this. "Right." I felt him loose his grip and let go. There was an awkward silence between us. I finally broke it and asked, "H-how did you know?" I was curious as to how he found out.
"Do you remember when we were little and you spent the night at my house because it was raining?" He questioned. "Yeah, I slept in your room. Why?" 'What does that have to do with anything?'
"Well, you sleep talk. You said something about wanting me to be your friend on your birthday. Saying that your birthday was on October 10." Sasuke said looking down. "I wanted to give you that gift."
"So you knew my freaking birthday since we were five! Why didn't you fucking say anything after all these years?" I shouted as new tears flowed down my face.
"I was nervous and scared of what you'd think since we've never really been friends, more rivals then anything. I thought that we could become friends, since we're on the same team now." Sasuke explained.
I was thinking it over a moment and answered, "Yes, of course we're friends. And you are my first friend who has said that to me." I could see a smile and sliver tears coming from Sasuke.
I walked over and wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered, "Thank you, Sasuke." I felt a sudden push and hands grab both my wrists. I couldn't move. I looked up to see Sasuke's face right in front of me. I felt soft lips come into contact with mine. I tried to break free but it was no use.
Every time I would struggle his grip only got tighter, his arms held me closer, and his lips would press harder on mine.
I couldn't help, but let out a moan. I could feel Sasuke's lips form a smirk. 'I'm getting dizzy and running out of air.' I had gasped and he took the opportunity to explore my mouth with his tongue. 'What the fuck! Why is his tongue inside my mouth!?'
When both of us desperately needed air, Sasuke broke the kiss. We were both panting and flush red, not to mention, the string of saliva separating our lips.
"Sorry." Sasuke mumbled. He let go of my right hand and I took the opportunity to bitch-slap him across his left cheek. I could see tears running down his now red cheek and I too was crying. He let go of my other hand and I backed up a couple of steps.
"I'm, I'm sorry." I stumbled out. I turned around, still crying, and ran as fast as I could, repeating the same sentence. I never turned back, not once. When I got home I couldn't stop crying and when I did I feel asleep still sniffling and crying in my dream.
After that day, it seemed like 'the kiss' never even happened. Sasuke and I went back to fighting like we always do. And I've tried to forget, but wanting to know why Sasuke did that keeps me from forgetting. Each year after that Sakura throws Team 7 a party. That first year Sakura had the party an hour before he had asked me to dinner. Sasuke wasn't the same; he didn't treat me like that anymore. And it was something...
* End of Flashback *
Something in which I wish I didn't regret. Regret, a word that I hated. I regret that moment. I feared my most beautiful dream and regretted it.
"Naruto. Naruto! Wake Up! NARUTO!" That voice. It sounds familiar, like, "Sa-sakura?" I think my voice sounded hoarse. "What happened?" I asked, rubbing my forehead.
Sakura let out a sigh and said, "The party was over an hour ago. You got drunk and passed out, don't you remember?"
"Not really, but I do remember going to Ichiraku." I smiled trying to remember. Sakura just looked at me and slowly said, "What are you talking about? You know Ichiraku has been closed for several years now."
I guess she said it slowly, so it would process through my head. I still haven't accepted that the ramen shop closed five years ago. Right before I turned 13. "Yeah, I know." I looked down wanting to cry.
"Just pull yourself together. I need to take you back home." Sakura instructed. She put my arm around her neck and pulled me up to my feet. I stumbled and almost landed on the floor, 'Wow, am I really that drunk?', but firm hands grabbed my arms and propped me up to my feet. 'Yes. Yes, I really am that drunk.'
I looked up to see who caught me and realized. "S-Sasuke?! What are you doing here?" I asked with a flushed face, partly from drinking and partly from seeing Sasuke. "I came to help pick up, but I see it's taken care of." He said looking around, then back at Sakura and I.
"Oh, don't worry about that. I mean you bought everything and helped set it up, so there's no need to pick up." Sakura said waving her hand. 'What? Sasuke paid for and set up the party. He rarely helps, let alone pays for an entire party.'
"Here, I'll take Naruto home. You should get some rest for tomorrow's mission." He directed towards Sakura.
"That's okay. It would be troublesome if you have to take him home. And after all you did today; I think you're the one that needs the rest, more than I do." Sakura replied.
'I wonder why they're arguing about taking me home. I mean Sakura thinks I'm annoying and hates me. And Sasuke, well I don't know, he thinks I'm a dope.'
