Chapter 1: Saying the Wrong Things

Sasuke walked down the street towards the usual training spot for his team. Sakura was already there and was leaning against a Sakura tree. Typical. Sasuke walked over and stood next to her.

"Good morning Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said with a smile that was way to energetic for this early in the morning.

"Morning," Sasuke said monotone while staring into space.

"Hey guys!" said Naruto then continued on shouting something about Ramen. "I had some for dinner and breakfast today!!!" Naruto looked at Sakura. "How about you Sakura?!"

Why must they be so loud? Sasuke thought as he stepped away from them.

"Umm, I haven't had any," Sakura answered.

"Oh. Well you should have," Naruto turned to face Sasuke. "Hey Sasuke-butt, guess what's tomorrow."

"Hn."

"Guess what tomorrow is."

"Hopefully your death day."

Sakura giggled when she heard this.

"NO!! If it's anyone's, it's yours!" Naruto turned his hands into fists and wasn't smiling anymore.

"Naruto calm down, you can tell me what tomorrow is," Sakura said as she put her hand on his shoulder. Naruto softened up and started talking to Sakura.

Stupid dope. Now I have a headache. Sasuke walked away from them and found a nice tree that provided plenty of shade. After a few minutes Sakura walked over to him.

"Hi."

"Hn." Sasuke really didn't want put up with her annoyance.

"Is that all the response that I'm going to get?" She sat down next to him.

"Hn."

"Great," Sakura said as she looked up at the sky.

"Where is Naruto?"

"I left him. He was getting annoying."

"Good."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I hate him," Sasuke muttered. Sakura looked at him startled.

"Hate is a strong word," she said.

"I know."

"Why do you hate him so much?"

"Because."

"Do you hate me too?"

"…"

"You don't have to answer that."

"…No…"

"Good. I don't hate you either Sasuke." Sakura gave him a hug. Sasuke attempted to pull free, but her grip was too tight.

"I just don't like you."

"Oh…" She let go of Sasuke.

"Just kidding."

"Cha!!"

"But I could do without the yelling."

"Okay," Sakura whispered. Sasuke found that funny, but didn't show any emotion.

"That's better."

"Awww, two love birds." Both turned around to see their sensei sitting up in the tree that they were sitting under. They could tell he was smiling under that mask of his.

"Ass," Sasuke said as a slight blush tinted his cheeks. He looked away so no one would notice.

"Nice language."

"Hn."

Sigh "Kids nowadays have absolutely no respect," Kakashi said to no one in particular.

Suddenly, three kunai came flying towards Sasuke and Sakura. Sasuke leapt up, grabbed Sakura, and jumped out of the way. "Damn I missed him!!"

Naruto…that idiot. "Kids shouldn't play with sharp objects," Sasuke said as he walked over and picked up one of the weapons. "Because when they do…" Sasuke disappeared and then reappeared behind Naruto. "… they tend to get hurt," he finished while putting the kunai up to Naruto's neck.

"Screw you Sasuke!" Sasuke poked Naruto slightly in the neck, hinting him to shut the hell up. Luckily Naruto wasn't as stupid as he looked and was silent.

"You lost," Kakashi said as he jumped out of the tree. "Wow. It didn't even take 10 seconds and it's over. Pathetic."

"Shutup sensei!!" Kakashi and Sakura laughed at Naruto. "Stop laughing!" Naruto's face was now bright red.

With a short sigh, Sasuke threw the kunai to the ground and stepped away. "Pathetic. If this was life and death you'd be dead by now."

"Shut up. I can't stand your stupid cool act."

"Hn?"

That seemed to make Naruto even madder.

"Sasuke…you think you're so great because you're an Uchiha! Well, if your clan was so great, how come they're all dead!?" Sakura gasped and Kakashi felt a little hurt; as for his deceased best friend was an Uchiha also. Sasuke glared at Naruto and activated his Sharingan.

"You bastard!" Sasuke charged at Naruto and tackled him to the ground. Sasuke began repeatedly beating him to a pulp. "Take that back!"

"Ne-ver." Naruto said in between punches.

"I'll kill you!" With each punch Sasuke's anger grew and so did his strength.

"Sasuke stop! You'll kill him!" Sakura ran over and grabbed his shoulder. Sasuke pushed her away and she fell to the ground.

"Okay that's enough." Kakashi walked over and pulled the furious Sasuke off of Naruto.

"Let go!" Sasuke struggled in his sensei's hands, but couldn't get lose. "You have no room to talk Naruto! You never had a family! You don't even know who your parents are! I knew my parents and they didn't abandon me like yours! For all we know they were some crack-addicts who despised the sight of you! You are an orphan, a useless piece of shit! You're nothing but a body to seal the nine tailed fox demon in! If you died it wouldn't make a difference to anyone! Oh, and your dreams of becoming Hokage are never going to hap-" Sasuke was interrupted by Kakashi putting his hand over his mouth to silence him.

"That's enough out of you. What Naruto said was wrong, but you had no right to push that far into his life." Kakashi released his grip on him and began to walk away. "I'll postpone the mission for tomorrow. Everyone can just go home."

"Sasuke… I hate you! And I will become Hokage and then everyone will show me respect! Believe it!"

"Yeah right. I guess you weren't listening to a word I said."

"I heard you."

"Good, then now you know the history of the village clown with pathetic dreams, Naruto Uzumaki; the number one hyperactive, knuckle headed ninja." Sasuke spit at Naruto's feet and walked away towards his house.

"Bastard…" Naruto mumbled while heading in the direction of his own house.

Sakura was left sitting on the ground. Wow. I guess Sasuke has a lot more bottled up in him than I thought. 'I hate him.' Sasuke's words came back to her. He wasn't kidding. Sakura got up and brushed herself off. I think I'll go talk to him.

-----

Sakura had reached the Uchiha mansion. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. After knocking again and waiting about five minutes she decided to look in the windows. Sakura looked through two windows and saw nothing, until she reached the third. Inside was what seemed to be the living room. There was a small table to the left and standing next to it, with a picture in his hand, was Sasuke. He was looking at the picture and his face expressed a lot of sadness. Sakura stepped on a twig as she stepped closer and it caught his attention. Right away Sasuke changed his face to show absolutely nothing. "Sakura?" He asked while placing the picture face-down on the table.

"Hi Sasuke. I-I came by to see you and no one answered."

"So you look through my windows?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well… I wanted to make sure you were home."

"That's stupid," Sasuke walked over to the window. "But since you walked all the way over here, you should come in."

"Okay!" Sakura was happy that he was in a better mood and that she was invited into his house. She ran over to the front door. Sasuke opened it from the inside. She came in and he led her down the hall to the room he was just in.

"Are you thirsty?"

"A little."

"Hungry?"

Sakura's stomach growled and she nodded her head.

"I'll be right back." Sasuke left and Sakura was now alone. She looked over at the same table that Sasuke was standing by earlier and saw the picture face down. She picked it up and looked over it. There was a beautiful woman that seemed to be in her late twenties, a man about the same age with his arm around her and two boys. One was a little older than the other and Sakura noticed that the younger one was Sasuke. This must be his parents and Itachi. Wow. Sasuke looks just like his mom.

"Umm, what are you doing?"

Sakura turned around to see Sasuke in the doorway holding a bag of chips and two sodas. "Oh, I was, umm-"

"It's a picture of my parents and him." Sasuke walked over and sat on the couch. He picked up the remote and turned the TV on. "Anything in particular that you want to watch?"

Sakura got one last glance at the picture and then placed it face up on the table. She walked over and sat next to him and grabbed the remote. "Actually… there is." Sakura got an evil glint in her eye and Sasuke regretted that he ever asked.

-----

"No Gwen, don't get back together with Ethan! He's cheating on you for Theresa, who's cheating on him for your ex, who only dated you to get close to Theresa," Sakura begged the soap opera.

"I didn't know you're so into this."

"Of course, now be quiet. Gwen's about to choose," Sakura grabbed a hand full of chips and shoved them in her mouth.

"To be continued next week on Days of Our Lives." The TV went to commercials.

"Damn it."

"…that show was…different." Sasuke began flipping through channels.

"You don't like it?" Sakura looked at Sasuke and couldn't help, but think of how cute he looked when he was relaxed.

"No." Sasuke took a drink of his soda.

"Well, umm, I should go it's getting late."

"No."

"What?"

"Look outside." Sakura looked out the window and saw about a foot of snow on the ground and it was still snowing.

"When did that start?"

"About an hour ago. You were to busy watching the show to notice."

"Oh."

"Looks like you're staying here for the night."
