(~L~) Sasuke's POV
I was just staring blankly at the ceiling. Not really knowing what to do, just laying on my back on my king-sized bed. It was very comfortable, very relaxing. Nothing really matters to me, not anymore. As I lay on my bed like a dead man, it made me think. What would I be like if I was normal?
What would I be like if I wasn't swoon over by almost all female population? What would it be like if my family wasn't this wealthy? What would it be like if I was more social? So many questions inside my head... and I was just wondering...
What would it be like to be normal?
Was I even normal? Or was I normal, just not the people around me? Sometimes I think it would be best if I die young. I really don't see anything meaningful in my life, right now. What was my purpose of living anyway? My head was full of questions that wasn't really worth my time. I looked around and saw it was still early in the morning, still at dawn. I sat up, and walked by towards my windowsill. I looked at the sky, and wondered; if it was the twilight circle I was seeing. The sky, though still dark, had light drawing really slowly on it. The stars had still shown, while the wind still calm. Everyone still asleep, everyone still peaceful...
Peace...
Do I even know the real meaning of peace? Maybe I do, but maybe... I won't be able to feel it in my life. There were others who deserve more peace than me. So why bother, when there are still others who were more miserable than me? I looked around my town once again, and found it very nice. In a perfect world, it would be the best thing that has ever happened, but for now, this was enough. And I slowly drifted off to sleep once again... who was softly claiming me...
(~L~) No one's POV
It was already 6 o' clock in the morning in the village of Konoha, a few people were already starting to wake up, as everyone was preparing for a brand new day, some were still sleeping. As everyone who had willingly woke up, some were also grumpy; others that had slept early, and found it a good day, there were also some who stayed up late, and was awaken, found it a bad day. There will always be a bad side of everything, yet, there will also be a good side, that would appear when the right time comes.
As a young woman was walking down thy streets of the peaceful village, she had met a companion along the way and together they had walked side by side. As one was nourishing the plants, some were walking the pets around for a morning stroll. Everyone was starting off good.
Every morning she would visit her friends at their respected places. She too was expected at the hospital, while she was walking down the streets of Konoha, she had met a friend of hers, Haruno Sakura. Sakura was a young woman of 22 years of existence in this world, with bubblegum pink hair and emerald green eyes. She wore black tights, and a carnation pink, long blouse. Hung on her right hand was her working bag.
Sakura looked over to the one beside her, she wore white khaki pants, and a lavender blazers over a spaghetti-strapped shirt. She had a sling bag on her shoulders and both hands on each side of her pockets. She had always looked cute and beautiful, and wondered why she always felt like she didn't fit in. She decided to converse with her...
"Ne, Hinata?" she started
"Hai, Sakura, what is it?" Hinata replied
"What would it be like if you have someone in your life?" she stopped in her tracks and looked at her, Hinata eyed her with confusion. Not really sure what Sakura was talking about, but nonetheless replied...
"I guess it would feel like it is the best thing that's ever happened in your life." She replied with a smile, Sakura smiled back...
"Well, come on then Hinata, we don't want to keep Ino waiting for us. She must be already impatient and had gotten her father awake and let him watch the shop already!" and she grabbed her hand and dragged her to the Yamanaka Flower Shop.
Yamanaka Ino was one of their friends. She had a blonde hair in a high ponytail, with sapphire blue eyes. Though she was the thinnest of them all, she was healthier than other girls. And she was already posing in front of her flower shop with brows furrowed and eyes closed. She was tapping her foot wildly and leaned on her doorpost, her father watching her from the counter, resting his head with both if his palms with an amused look in his face.
"Hey Ino good morning to you girl, come on let's go!" Sakura greeted her, suddenly her eyes flickered open and saw them. She rushed inside, kissed her father on the cheek and said a short good bye, and went to them...
"About time you guys arrived! I was starting to think you had already passed by." She said and smiled to them, they did the same to her too…
"I wonder what TenTen and Temari are doing right now." Hinata said, both girls looked at her
"Well I certainly think they are doing just fine in the pharmacy. Even though Temari usually just visits us anyway. " Ino said
"They are probably opening up right now or getting ready for the bunch of people who would buy medicines from their branch." Sakura replied reassuringly, Hinata smiled at the both of them. She was so lucky to have this kind of friends. As they were walking along the streets, the two girls with her had suddenly squealed, and rushed away from her side, she ran after them...
"Hey guys wait... up." She said and blushed slightly, and held back… no wonder why they had run away like that; their long-time crush had appeared suddenly out of nowhere. They were always like that when he was around. Just like two little girls who had seen their favourite toy. She sighed and took a few steps back, she noticed Sasuke looked at her, and stared, more like glared at the two girls near him who had bombarded him with lots of questions already...
'I honestly think they should be in media if they're this much talkative.' He complained to himself, and looked back at the other girl. He definitely knew her, and was thankful that she was one of the sane girls he had ever met. He sometimes wished his fan girls were like her. Hyuga Hinata was her name; he wondered what it would be like if she was one of his fan girls. He probably would have picked her, than all of the girls. But then again he wasn't interested in any girls... yet. And she wasn't one of his fan girls…
Hinata then stared at the three of them, and watched Sasuke politely denying their concerns to him. He might have shrugged them a bit harsh, but he was kind enough to explain why he did it. In his own little ways, in Hinata's opinion, he knew how to say sorry, though not too straight forward. She sometimes even wonder if he did say the word sorry already... in his entire life. She just shrugged and grabbed both of her friends' shoulders once Sasuke was gone to go to his office.
They haven't really talked much; she watched the retreating figure of the Uchiha. She doesn't know when he would find the right girl for him already, and was starting to think he was asexual. She shuddered at the thought. If all pretty boys were gays, then all pretty girls would probably be lesbians. By the day that time comes, it would probably be the end of the world! Sigh, what a shame if Sasuke really is...
"Sigh, Sasuke-kun was just probably shy around me." Both of the girls with her said dreamingly with drools coming out of their mouth. Sure, their rivalry was still on, but they weren't like before. They were somehow on friendly terms already; though sometimes, they forget it if Sasuke is around. Hinata looked around and saw the person that would always complete her day...
'Naruto-kun' she thought and blushed at the sight of him...
Uzumaki Naruto, the man of her dreams, her first love, her destined man. Well, not really. Destiny has other plans for her, and she has yet to wait. Naruto saw, walked over to them and greeted his cousin, her friend, and his true love...
"Hey Ino, how are you?" he greeted her, and ruffled her hair playfully which caused Ino's eyebrow to twitch, he walked over to Hinata, who was red as a tomato already...
"Hey Hina-chan, as innocent as ever!" he said to her, and finally walked over to his true love...
"Sakura-chan, pretty as always!" he complemented her, Sakura just returned a small smile. Naruto grinned back at her and started running away from them, as if he was in a hurry, and waved at them for his farewell. Sakura looked over to Hinata, who was still as still as a statue. She sighed; this girl was still crushing on the idiot then, Ino suddenly spoke up breaking Hinata's trance...
"Come on Hinata, my idiot of a cousin who just ruined my hair isn't worth your time." She said and grabbed her arm, angrily, though not purposely to the hospital; Sakura just sighed and followed them.
(-_-)
As Sasuke was walking away from the three girls, he met Naruto on the way. He tried to hide away from the dobe as long as possible, so he walked quietly yet fast. Naruto just closed his eyes and whistled a happy tune to add up to his wonderful day. Often times he would open his eyes, to see where he was going. Just so happened… when he opened his eyes, he noticed some sort-of chicken butt hair styled guy walked past him and he stopped in his tracks. His friend was always avoiding him, he turned around, and the jet black haired guy pace suddenly went faster than his speed a while ago. He decided to call out to him, but found it no use; he broke into a run and went after him. When he caught up with him, he was already panting...
"Sasuke-teme, why did you run away like that?" he whined, Sasuke grimaced. He really can't stand this baka's whining, though he found it amusing. He looked over at him and shrugged his shoulders. Naruto frowned and crossed his arms over his chest, muttered to himself...
"I honestly can't see what my cousin and Sakura-chan, sees in you." Sasuke looked over to him...
"I honestly can't think of a reason also why you still hang around me either." He retorted back, Naruto just smiled at him...
"Haha, me too, me too." And draped one arm over his friends arm, Sasuke as usual started ignoring him, as he was thinking if this day could get any noisier; another loud mouth comes along, with his canine friend...
"Oi Naruto!" he greeted, and went closer to them
"Arff!" His dog reminded him of another presence...
"Oh, sorry I almost forgot. Hi to you Sasuke!" he said happily, he just nodded of acknowledgement...
"So... where are you guys going?" He asked them
"Anywhere as long as the dobe is gone." Sasuke said
"Anywhere Sasuke is going!" Naruto said at the same time, and both sent death glares to each other, Kiba and Akamaru sweat dropped, both were such complete opposites, yet were very much alike in so many ways, he just laughed. They both looked at him, he sighed.
"Really don't mind me guys. I'm just on my way to my sister's clinic. See ya' later!" he waved at them and started to jog towards his sister's clinic. Both males watched his retreating back, Naruto looked over to him and Sasuke again, with Sasuke's words still pondering in his mind. Why was he still with Sasuke? Why were he friends with him in the first place anyway? He just shrugged; maybe it was because it was Sasuke who gave him meaning in his life...
He just smiled and started walking after him once again; Sasuke eyed him from the corner of his eye. He was grinning with no reason, he wondered why. Well, there will always be a time when he could already ask the dobe why he was always grinning. But now, he still needs answers to his own questions. The ones that had haunted him every dawn. He just started walking towards his building, where he was the remaining heir of the Uchiha Corp., and has already taken over. Back at his house he always notices from his room's window, there was always the same family that would always visit his parents. And the girl especially annoyed him, whenever she would look at his window and see him stare at her. She always looked at him with dreamy eyes, which causes him to pull down the drapes of his curtains.
He honestly doesn't like the family itself, his mother would always have a sad look, and as if knowing something he didn't. His brother would send daggers at his father's back when he would greet the visitors, and when catches him staring, would smile back. His father, as always, remains emotionless, and greets them formally. Sends a maid to fetch him, and he would always tell the maid he wasn't feeling well. He would always tell the same excuse, and his family would never even care, not his father anyway. His mother was kind enough to say he shouldn't ignore his father's visitors, and his brother... well, as supportive as always.
Later that day
At the end of the day, everyone returned to their homes. A teacher, who had just come out of the school's ground, dropped his shoulders suddenly. He definitely regrets why, of all jobs, he even bothered taking up teaching pre-schoolers. He sighed; maybe... it was because he thought it was the easiest job ever. Well, he was wrong; it was the hardest job ever. Sometimes he thinks that being a chauffeur was easier than a teacher. He looked around and saw the barbecue stand of his friend, who was now a famous owner of all barbecue stands around the town nowadays. He walked towards it, and entered, where he was greeted by his old pal, Akamichi Chouji...
"Oi, Shikamaru, and come on pal sit over here with the others!" he invited him over to a very long table, which was composed of Aburame Shino, who was a successful lawyer; Inuzuka Kiba, who was a veterinarian; Uchiha Sasuke, who was the president and owner of the Uchiha Police Force and Corp.; Uzumaki Naruto who was the mayor of Konoha; Rock Lee who was an owner of the very youthful dojo in the town; Hyuga Neji who was the president of the Hyuga Martial Arts training and Corp; and yadda, yadda, yadda...
He looked around the shop, and found the three excellent medics of the town and the two fastest pharmacist of the whole town. Hyuga Hinata, Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino, TenTen, and from the neighbouring town... Sabaku no Temari.
He walked over to the boys table and everyone started conversing already...
"Hey Shika! How's your day at the pre-school?" asked Kiba
"Troublesome." He replied and turned his head over at Shino...
"How are your cases?"
"Successful." He replied and asked Naruto...
"The town's status, Naruto?"
"Still nothing g new, Tsunade-baachan was no help at all!" he whined
"That's what you get for depending on someone old, if I were you I would have chosen someone youthful!" Lee said with fire in his eyes...
"Yeah, yeah we know, how 'bout you Kiba?" Naruto asked him
"Nothing much really, how's your paper work Neji?"
"I don't have paperwork if there is someone to ask about that, it should be Sasuke. He has more paperwork than I." And everyone looked at him...
Sasuke was just staring at the other side of the room. Not really listening to anyone, just looking at the surroundings and whatsoever. He doesn't really mind what would be happening at all really. Just as long it doesn't involve him, and then he's fine with going along with them. He has nothing to hide... yet. The others were still staring at him as they waited for him to answer, yet he didn't notice. Neji started whistling, and Shikamaru fell asleep. Lee was still sitting still as he was a while ago; Naruto sighed and went towards Sasuke waving a hand in front of him. Sasuke had finally snapped out of reality. He stared at Naruto...
"What?" he asked with one eyebrow raised, Naruto slouched
"We were asking you whether or not if you are fine with your work?"
"Who would be fine with a work as an investigator?" he asked in an isn't-it-obvious tone
"That's what they were asking for Sasuke." Chouji said as he gave them their orders
"How 'bout you go there and look at their cases, while I serve the table here." Sasuke retorted
"Chill man, chill, don't be so strong, and don't be so fierce for your face will struggle." Kiba said with matching actions, everyone looks at him with confusion...
"What? Those are what the kids say these days." Kiba said
"Sigh, kids these days are so hard to understand." Shikamaru said everyone agreed with him.
The girls were so busy chatting about the boys around thy world, and were too focused on the topic they didn't seem to notice the boys that were across the table. They were going on and on about who has better taste in men and yadda, yadda, yadda…
Hinata though, was feeling left out, didn't feel the need to join or participate in this conversation, and seems to be the only one who noticed the other table. Now as she wasn't paying attention, the girls somehow slowly formed a circle already, and started to play, spin the bottle. Wherever the end pointed would be the one to give the dare, and whoever was pointed at by the other side would be the one to do the dare. And the game began...
'Spins'
The first one landed on...
