Hi

This is my first fanfic. It was meant to be a oneshot, cause I thought maybe I should start with small steps. But it kind of became a twoshot, and hopefully will stay a twoshot. Please let me know of what you think of this story, and so I can know whether or not to continue writing this story.

There's always a limit

'Hey Sasuke, let's have lunch together.'

'Ok.'

Sakura started humming a little tune as she pushed her desk in front of Sasuke's. She dug out her lunch box from her bag, and placed it on her desk. She took out her chopsticks and began eating. Sasuke did the same.

After a few seconds of silence, Sakura said between bites,

'Sasuke, when are we going to go on our first date?'

Sasuke continued to eat without looking up.

'We're not'.

Sakura froze for a split second before slamming her chopsticks down on the desk. She swallowed her food and glared at Sasuke.

'What do you mean we're not? We've been going out for 6 months now! But nothing happened! The only difference is, we walk home and eat lunch together…Where's the friggin progress?!' Sakura only realized she was near shouting when people started looking into the classroom from the passage.

Sasuke lowered his chopsticks.

'What are you being so loud about?'

'What, you ask..' Sakura hissed.

'Listen Sasuke, I'm human…with feelings. I can't wait around for you forever. Yes, I knew from the very beginning, the only reason you asked me out was to lessen the confessions from your fangirls. Nonetheless, I still felt thrilled you asked me.'

'So if you knew, and you felt thrilled, what more do you want?'

'What I want is a little bit of reciprocation!'

'That, I cannot provide.'

'Why?'

'Because I'm not interested.'

Sakura closed her eyes, and pinched the bridge of her nose as if trying to cure a headache. After a few seconds, she let out a sigh and faced Sasuke again.

'I shouldn't have been expecting some decent answer, how stupid of me.'

She smirked slightly.

Sasuke frowned and asked, 'What's funny?'

'You, Sasuke, this whole relationship. I'm sick of waiting. I may have grown out of the fangirl I used to be, but I still have a bit of her in me that is willing to help you in any possible way. So, starting from today, I will continue to pose as your girlfriend. I will have lunch with you during school. But when school ends, I will hang with my friends like I use to do. If people start questioning, we just think of an excuse but make it clear that we are still 'together.''

Sasuke smirked, 'What's the point? It's still the same thing.''

'The point, Sasuke, is to allow me to get over you. Ino will definitely take me out to meet her guy friends after school or something. If there is a guy that I like, then only will I finally wake up and realize, that there is more to this world than just 'Sasuke'.'

Sakura was breathing pretty heavily. It felt like a bit of the imaginary weight on her heart was lifted. Sakura looked into the emotionless eyes of Uchiha Sasuke, but could not read anything. Sakura, herself, gave nothing away. She wanted to backpedal so badly, but instead, held her position.

Sasuke looked into her emerald eyes.

She has beautiful eyes, how did I only notice that now? Oh, wait; it's actually the first time I'm looking at her in careful details.

Sasuke's eyes roamed to her shoulders, down to her arms, then to her wrists, and her hands.

Thin arms, slender wrists, and beautiful hands. She has quite a slim figure as well, if I recall correctly. And that hair….

Sasuke shook himself mentally.

Woah…What the hell was that…?

Sasuke frowned slightly. Sakura, thinking the frown was directed at her demanded, 'What?'

Sasuke snapped out of his own reverie and looked back into her eyes. He was slightly taken aback by the intensity in them, but he didn't falter one bit physically. He sighed.

'Fine, do whatever you like.' And then he resumed his eating.

Sakura felt relief. She didn't break down by his very few hurtful words like she thought she would.

Now this is called progress. She thought smugly.

School ended and Sakura began packing her bags ready to leave.

'Hey Sakura, we're leaving.' Ino called by the door. 'See you tomorrow.'

'Wait! I'm going with you guys.' Sakura hurriedly stuffed her books into her bag and ran towards Ino and TenTen.

Ino and TenTen looked at each other uneasily.

'Where's Hinata?' asked Sakura.

'Oh, she said the teacher needed all the class presidents to fill out some forms. So she needs to stay behind for a few hours. She said we can go ahead without her.' said TenTen.

'Oh I see….Ok, let's go.'

'Uh, Sakura…?' this time it was Ino.

'I'll explain on the way home. Now let's go, I need cake.'

'Sasuke.'

'…..'

'Sasuke.'

Sasuke sighed. He lifted his head from his arms. He had been sleeping on his desk.

Ah, I fell asleep again.

He looked up and saw Naruto sitting in the desk in front of him. He had a worried look.

'What Naruto? Can't you see I was sleeping?'

'Yeah, but school has ended.' Naruto pointed out. He didn't understand how a genius like Sasuke, can be so dense. Not that he is in any position to say so, he admitted to himself. But still….anyways..

'Sakura left.'

'Of course she'd leave, school ended remember?' Sasuke lowered his head back to his sleeping position.

'Sakura left without you. She never leaves without you. And you never leave without her.'

'Naruto, the only reason I went out with her, was to get rid of the all the confessional meetings I had to attend and reject. It gets tiresome you know. So I chose to use Sakura, and it worked.' Sasuke said without looking up.

'oh..ok…so you didn't develop any feelings whatsoever in these six months you've been together with her?' Naruto asked inquisitively.

'No.'

'Ok…. Anyways, I've got to go, I've got a soccer meeting now. By the way, since you slept through history, I don't think you heard that we're writing a history test next week. So you should get the notes you missed today.'

'Yeah, whatever.' Sasuke sat up and leaned back on his chair. 'Hey Sakura, burrow me your bo- '. Sasuke stopped mid sentence when he saw the empty seat to his right.

Naruto tutted, 'Yeh, no feelings right? By the way, the history test was a lie. I said it just to prove you wrong about the feelings. You honestly think that I would remember a history test?'

'Shut up dobe.' Sasuke glared at him. 'I said it out of habit.'

Naruto stared at him like he was crazy. 'You're so damn stubborn Sasuke.'

'What you mean?'

Naruto sighed and pretended to wipe a tear from his eye. 'My little Sasuke is still too pure and innocent to understand.' Then Naruto started to make vomiting impersonations.

Sasuke picked up the eraser on his desk, and through it with full force at Naruto.

'OW!' Naruto rubbed his head where the rubber hit him. 'Damnit Sasuke teme!!It was a joke!'

'Hey Naruto!' Kiba called from the door. 'Hurry up and get your sorry ass to the meeting, we want to go home already.'

Naruto looked at Sasuke reluctantly, 'I'll get you back some other day.' And then ran off with Kiba.

As soon as Naruto left, Maya and Saki ran up to Sasuke's desk.

'Ne, Sasuke, have you and Sakura finally broken up? I mean she left with out so much as a good bye. She has no manners; she wasn't fit for you anyways. So, Sasuke, let's-'

'Can you guys please move? I can't get out of my desk.'

'Oh, yeah, right.' Maya and Saki moved back. 'Ok, let's-'

'We haven't broken up. We both just have some prior engagements today.' With that, Sasuke threw his bag over his shoulder and left.

Saki stared at Sasuke's back as he left. After he was out of the class room, Saki turned towards Maya and said, 'I think he's in denial.'

'Denial?! Over a brat like her?!' Maya hissed.

'Well, judging by his body posture, gestures, and attitude, he looked kind of pissed when he said that they haven't broken up. And plus, actually, Sakura is really matu-'

Saki was abruptly cut off when her cheeks were squeezed together rather vigorously by Maya's hand, causing her lips to pout out like a gaping fish.

'Saki, shut it. You're not some kind of psychiatrist.' The look in Maya's eyes intimidated Saki. So Saki just nodded and stayed silent.

Sasuke strolled down the street on his way home. It was really quiet. There were no passing cars, and all he could hear was the wind rustling the leaves on the trees.

'Ne, Sasuke'

'Hm?'

'Do you like sweet things?'

'It's ok I suppose.'

'I learnt how to bake brownies recently, do you wanna try some?'

Sasuke shrugged.

'If you want just say so.'

'….'

'Fine, I take that as a no. When I learn how to bake brownies, then I'll offer you again.'

'I thought you just said you learnt how to bake brownies?'

'Yeah, I learnt how to bake it and all…it doesn't necessarily mean it CAME OUT as brownies…It makes good biscuit snacks though…'

They carried on walking in silence. After a few minutes.

'Ne, Sasuke…'

Thinking back, he felt that a walk home with a certain voice was actually more soothing than the sounds of the wind.

'Wow Sakura, that's deep..' said TenTen.

'Don't worry Sakura,' Ino slurped on her milkshake. 'I'll introduce all the guys I know to you.'

'Yeah, I thought you would.' Sakura smiled.

'All the guys except one.' TenTen muttered teasingly from the sidelines.

'Shut up TenTen.' Ino pulled a tongue at TenTen, but blushed.

Sakura laughed. 'It's funny how you don't blush when flirting with other guys, but when the name Shikamaru is mentioned, you go red.'

'It's called youthful love.' Ino swished her hair back as if she just said something intelligent.

Both TenTen and Sakura raised an eyebrow.

Ino caught their looks and went back to drinking her milkshake while muttering, 'I was just trying to sound wise.'

TenTen patted her head, 'Maybe you should just stick to what you're good at, hm?' TenTen smiled an angelic smiled while Ino glared.

Sakura sighed. 'TenTen.'

'Hai?' TenTen looked at Sakura still smiling.

'I would move your hand if I was you.'

'Why?' TenTen tilted her head.

*Bite*

*few seconds of realization*

'OW! YOU BIT ME YOU BITCH!'

'DON'T TREAT ME LIKE A CHILD!'

'Guys, please refrain from breaking anything and try and keep it down, we're in a café.'

Sasuke was at home watching T.V.

'Sasuke.'

'What, Itachi?' Sasuke didn't move from his position.

'We're out of rice.' Itachi emerged from the kitchen in a suit with a can beer in his hand.

'So?'

'Go buy more.'

'No, I just got home. I don't feel like moving.'

'Then you'll have no rice for lunch tomorrow.'

'What about supper and breakfast?'

'I'm attending a business meeting now. After the meeting, I'll buy take away for supper. Breakfast, will be apple.'

'Che.'

'Ok fine, with cereal or something. My point is, if you don't buy the rice, you won't have lunch.'

'I'll buy the rice on my way home from school tomorrow.'

'Ok good, well I'm off. I'll be back at round about 8 tonight. Give mom and dad a call for me.'

'Fine.'

'Bye Sasuke.'

'Bye.'

The door closed behind Itachi. Sasuke took out his cellphone. He looked at the time.

It's nearly 5. Sakura should be home now. I'm sure she won't mind if I ask her to prepare one extra lunchbox.

He started dialing Sakura's number.

Ring Ring, Ring Ring, Ring Ring.

Ring Ri – 'Hello?'

'……'

'Hello?' A male's voice. He sounds too young to be her dad. The voice sounds as if he's gone through puberty though…therefore, a TEENAGE male.

A flashback of his and Sakura's conversation popped up.

'Ino will definitely take me out to meet her guy friends after school or something. If there is a guy that I like, then only will I finally wake up and realize, that there is more to this world than just 'Sasuke'

Sasuke snapped his phone shut. He looked at his phone for a few minutes. Then he put his phone back in his pocket and continued watching T.V.

If someone is to look carefully, they could probably see the red murderous aura surrounding the oh-so-calm Sasuke.

A/N : ok I know this kind of dragged…but I really couldn't help it..but please review! And not too harsh please:P I'll most likely change it as time goes by…
