Author's Note: My first ever chapter fic (not really, but the first one I'm actually going to see to the end) so it might be a bit messed up, I'm not quite sure exactly why I'm bothering to do a chapter fic. But I suppose its because I wanted to do something different, and something dramatic and suspense filled…yeah, that might be it. Anyway, the only change I made to any of the characters is that Shikamaru is still a chunnin and Sasuke is not yet with Orochimaru. Got it? Good…
Comments: I shalt not continue to the next chapter untill I get at least one review. Constructive critique is awsome but flaming not so much. Its not rocket science people…
…
It was a dark and dreary day…
…
But the chunnin expected as much. It was, after all, about to be the worst day of his life. He could already feel his heart breaking and he hadn't even said the words yet. Of course, if Temari stayed true to her normal character it wouldn't be the only thing breaking that night. He could already feel the bruises. It would be easier to back out now. Hell, Shikamaru Nara was a lazy ass chicken, nobody would think anything less of him if he didn't do it, nobody even knew he was going to do it. After all, they were the perfect couple, so who would expect a thing. He could already hear Chouji telling him what and idiot he was for even thinking of doing it.
But they didn't get it did they? No, they didn't. Temari was close to a princess in the sand country, sister to the kazekage and a high ranking jounnin with her ranking growing by the minute. She was always stronger, faster, better then him. He didn't deserve her, and he was quite sure he was holding her back from her full potential. So it was only right to break up with her, for the better really, but he still had that nagging feeling in the back of his mind telling him he was wrong. Ah, the night would be troublesome…
…
Clouds were brewing in the east, there was going to be a storm that night…
…
and not only the type with rain either. There was going to be a fight that night… No, more like a one sided flurry of emotion with some added tears, yells and slaps. She felt sorry for Jiraya, sorry for putting him in that position. Well, okay, it was consentual and not at all one sided. But that was no excuse. She had been drunk, but not nearly as much as he had. Besides, she had always admired the Sannin with a little more then the usual reverence. Well that was going to come to an end tonight of course. How could she possibly admire him when she was dead?
Well, okay, Tsunade-sama might not go as far as kill her, although there was no way Shizune could be certain of that. Shizune knew she would go on a rampage too if she saw her best friend kissing her boyfriend. They were lucky enough that she got called away on an emergency sugery or they would have both been dead in an instant, a result of the hokages strenght and anger. But how lucky they couldn't be quite certain. Would the hours alone given the Hokage time to cool off or just more time for her anger to sit, stew, and grow…
…
The tiniest drops of rain began to fall…
…
wetting a tiny Hyuuga in the center of the training field. Wide brown eyes watched her in amazement as she continued her training, ignoring the rain and pretty much everything else as she circled the wooden pole, throwing kunais from all angles until it was more kunai then wood. Her grace was amazing, more of a dance then a fight, each motion smooth and flowing. Long black hair, wetted by the rain managed to avoid her eyes and twirl around her, as if a part of her fighting dance. Konohamaru took a small motion forward, to watch from a closer view before Crack!
Hanabi heard the crack as she was in mid air, turning as she landed to face the sound. She raised two fingers so they touched the tip of their nose as a piece of hair fell attractivly framing her face. Her expression never lost its cool composure all the while and she muttered the words that activated her amazing eyes.
"Bakuugan!" she took in the ground from all angles, her white eyes searching, but found nothing. Who ever was watching her had left.
…
And the tiny drop led to a down pour…
…
Which the Uchiha ignored as he ran around the Kohana to practice his speed, his sharingan eyes activated as always. Each footstep was placed down forcefully, and he welcomed the exaustion, an outlit for his irritation and frustration.
She was even more annoying then usual today. Training with her was nearly impossible with all the hints of the fact that today was Valentines Day. "Do you have a valentine Sasuke-kun?" in a cocky flirty voice. If he heard that voice one more time, he would scream. Didn't she get it? He wasn't interested, not at all…but of course, the faintest flush that tainted his cheeks when she said it didn't help to convince her that he did not like her.
So he figured there was only one thing he could do to convince her of it. Fufill her fantasy and ask her out, then break up with her. Just as easy said as done. After all, its not like he held any real feelings for his pink haired teammate…
…
and a cold bitting wind that cut like a blade blew everywhere…
…
and the oldest girl in the main branch sighed and pulled her coat more tightly around her. She sat on the steps of the Hyuuga complex, nursing a hot cup of green tea for comfort against the cruel weather. Hinata sighed as the rain poured and the wind bit the only thing the shy girl could think was…
…
What a horrible Valentines Day…
