Naruto Prom- PART 1

Chapter 1

"Sakkuuuraaa-chaaan!!!" Naruto waved from the noodle bar. Sakura, in the near distance, had her hands on her hips- getting ready to punch the living daylights out of Naruto.

"Nani?!?!" Sakura fumed, walking closer to the boy slurping away on some hot, spicy ramen.

"Ano... ano...sa, uhh, well, I was wondering...will you go to the prom" Naruto blushed as he was cut off.

"Uh-huh… I'm goin' with Sasuuukeee-kun!" Sakura squealed, smiling dreamily- not noticing the teary eyes of the blond as he gloomily disappeared through the neighbouring streets of Konoha.

------------

Naruto wiped his tears with his sleeve and curled up on his bed. "Why is it... always me...?" the boy asked, breaking down into tears.

"Sas..suu..ke..."

------------

The whistling wind breezed through Naruto's hair as he walked through the paths of Konoha. The sun was bright and shimmering in the light blue sky. Two aquaintances bumped into each other, on the way to school.

"Itttaaaaiii!!!!" (Ouch), complained the boy, brushing the dirt off his orange jumpsuit.

"Sorry, Naruto. Daijoubu?" (Are you okay?), asked the dark haired boy, reaching out a hand towards Naruto.

"Mmm, yeah. I'm fine", Naruto replied, reaching for the other boy's hand. Their eyes met as Naruto's face fell, immediately letting go of Sasuke's hand. Naruto briskly walked away, pretending he hadn't noticed that his knee was bleeding tremendously. He slowed down, one hand leaning against the wall, the other on his side. A pair of footsteps was heard from behind. It was getting closer and closer. Naruto tried to stand up straight but failed, dropping himself to the floor.

"You really okay?" the pale boy grinned, crouching down.

"Urusai!" (Shut-up!), muttered the injured boy, lying hopelessly on the dirt ground.

"You're hopeless", Sasuke insulted, shaking Naruto as he grabbed hold of Naruto's jacket. Sasuke sighed, lifting Naruto onto his back. Naruto felt his eyes closing, and his body went numb as he passed out.

------------

Naruto bagan to stir, getting up from the unfamiliar surrounding. He sat up and noticed that his injury had been treated. Bandages were wrapped around Naruto's knee and cuts were washed. The room was almost bare but was kept neat and tidy. A couple of jutsu books were stacked neatly on the side table, where Naruto lay. Suddenly, Naruto heard some footsteps coming from outside of the room and pretended to have still been asleep.

"You've... been asleep for a long time, Naruto", Sasuke whispered, walking closer to the bed as he sat beside the blond. "I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you."
