A life no one could touch.
"Finnaly." Sakura huffed as she set the last box of junk on her living room floor. "Took long enough." She said, as she nudged the box with the toe of her shoe.
"Sakura~!" a loud voice called from the top of the stairs. She slowly let her eyes go over all thirty six stairs, a landing, then four more. Her eyes narrowed.
"What, Naruto?" She called, not wanting to go up there to see what the bastard wanted.
"Come here, Sakura-chan~!" He called impaciently. She growled under her breath and walked towards the stairs, looking positively dreadful. Her pink hair was sticking up every which way, meshed up in a sloppy bun, her eyes were lazy, the sparkle had been dimmed with exhaustion. She took each step slowly, grumbling about how Naruto had picked the only house with over two stairs to buy for the two of them.
After about five minutes, she made it to the top only to be met by a rampaging Naruto, he ran straight into her, his bare chest pushing her back.
She shrieked, losing balance, and her grip on the railing. She fell, and she fell hard. All thirty six stairs, landing, and four more. She hit the floor finnaly, and just lied there. Naruto was down in a bout three seconds, prodding her and shouting random words to get her up.
"Jeeze Sakura! Your such a perv, touching me like that, then you get all clumsy and fall down the stairs! What's with you?" He said, totally clueless to how pissed the pinkette was.
"I don't know, Naruto. Because I really planned touching you, then falling down the stairs. I really wanted to." She said between clenched teeth, beggining to sit up.
"Well, why would you do that? What are you, emo?" He asked, looking thoroughly confused.
"You idiot." She breathed, jumping up and smacking him over the head. "You freaking idiot!" She shouted.
"Ow! What the hell, Sakura? That hurt!" He exlaimed, holding his head.
"That hurt?" She repeated, "That hurt? Well why don't you just try falling down fourty stairs!" She exlaimed.
"Actually, if you count the landing, it's fourty one." He corrected with a voice of a know-it-all.
Her eye twitched. "Naruto, You idiot." She said, physically restraining herself from beating the living crap out of him. "Sakura, really, if you can't even count stairs, I think it's obvious who the idiot here is." He said, crossing his arms and looking away.
They were both standing now, Sakura looking tense and irritated, Naruto as if he were annoyed by her math skills. Sakura shook her head, ridding the murderous thoughts. "What were you going to tell me?" She asked blandly.
"You know how you needed a job?" He asked, his tone excited. Sakura nodded wearily, not quite sure what he was thinking. "Well, there's this bar down the street, and they're hiring waiters and waitresses! So I was thinking we should both apply! And get this, it's a really popular place, they have kereoke nights, band nights and everything! So when we work there we could have some fun!" He explained. Sakura was shocked. He had thought of something OTHER than stuffing ramen down his throat. She was immpressed.
"Well, what's it called?" She asked, slightly interested.
"Ichiraku!" He exclaimed. "They serve ramen as a speacialty, so I'm saying on our breaks, we could eat ramen!" At this, Sakura gave a heavy sigh. Of course.
"No." Was all she said, turning away. Naruto blanched.
"W-what? Sakura, come on! It's really close and everything!" He whined.
She rolled her eyes. "Fine, but I swear to god, if I hear ramen out of your mouth once, your dead." She growled. "We'll go tonight. Now help me unpack, you idiot." She said with a bit of a smile.
"I think I love you, Sakura-chan." He grinned, patting his stomach. She rolled her eyes and threw a box at him. "Unpack, baka." She smirked at him. He paused when she said 'baka', but grinned and obliged, and took the box labeled 'Sakura's crap' and lugged it up with fourty one stairs.
Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki. Both sixteen. Neither have parents. Act like an old married couple, when they believe they act like siblings. Recent residents to Konohagakure, living in one of the largest houses in Konoha. Constantly bicker, spar, joke, and are rarely apart. Appear to be in a relationship on first impression.
Sakura Haruno. Hot-headed, playful, caring- rarley lets it show through, despises Naruto around ramen. Naruto's punching bag, joke source, bestfriend, shoulder to cry on, and love- even if she doesn't like it.
Naruto Uzumaki. Energetic, idiotic, ramen-loving, very musceld, loves people, never gives up- even when wrong. Source of Sakura's anger, impacience, and irritation. Sakura's bestfriend, and brother- as he thinks. In love with Sakura admittedly.
These are the two disgraces of honor student that have recently moved to Konoha, to finish their senior year at high school, close to the Konoha university.
Naruto turned on the radio, blasting the rock station and singing along, Sakura soon joining him, as they both unpacked.
Naruto air-guitared while singing, "This captain goes down with his ship, hands on deck, stand hip to hip." Sakura sung with him, pretending to play the drums with a pair of her hair chopsticks. "I shout the orders, 'shoot to kill', I'm dressed to thrill, I'm dressed to thrill." Naruto picked up the broom and started singing/guitaring/sweeping.
"And all my enemies, I want there eyes to see, There Captain walk the plank, Destroy them rank by rank. And sail with me into the setting sun, The battle had been won but war had just begun. And as we grow, emotion starts to die, We need to find a way just to keep our desire alive." They both jumped once, "Now set the sail to quater mast, we'll jump the ship, we'll sink 'em fast. Men follow me to victory, red as the sea, red as the sea."
"And to the Cannons roar, their bodies dance ashore, A pirates life for me, I won't go quietly. And sail with me into the setting sun, the battle has been won but war has just begun. And as we grow, emotion starts to die, we need to find a way just to keep our desire alive."
They took a breath, both smirking and dancing to the song as they continued to put things away. Naruto came behind Sakura, whispering, "And to my Damsel in Distress, You've made a mess of your new dress, you've made a mess." She turned around and pushed him away, grinning at him, while he sung, "And sail with me into the setting sun, The battle has been won but war has just begun, And as we grow, emotion starts to die, we need to find a way just to keep our desire alive." He sung our the last part, until the song ended, they just stared at each other.
Sakura decided to break the silence. She grinned. "I love that song. I mean a hardcore song about pirates? Awesome." Naruto grinned aswell, and laughed. "Hell yeah! One of my favorites." He said.
If they only knew of the war to come, they wouldn't be laughing so easily now. Well, okay, maybe...I mean this is Naruto we're talking about, ah nevermind.
Alright Kiddies, this is a new idea I've had for a while. The only problem, you ask? I DON'T KNOW WHO TO PAIR SAKURA WITH! AHHH! I don't know if I should make a NaruSaku, because this was basically hinting on that, or if I should make a DeiSaku or ItaSaku or maybe...SasuSaku? I DON'T KNOW! Dx So help me out and tell me what you want? Maybe I'll put up a poll...Eh, I'll do both. Tell me what you want in a review (Along with what you think of this story, if you please. :3)!
Oh and if any of you people/brits (haha, sorry. I just watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows last night, so excuse my overly bias use of the word brit. BRIT~!) wanted to know what song this was, it's 'Rum is for Drinking for for Burnin' by Senses Fail' Props to you if you know the band, brownie points if you know the song.
