AN: Another story I know! Well, here's the disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. But I do own a little Gaara plush toy! (Friend Crystal yells, "No you don't!") Ok, so I don't own that either,…..

Just another Teen Thing,..

123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789123456789

A young 16 year old boy opened his eyes, revealing the world his shadowy onyx irises. He sighed and looked up at the sky. The sky was dark and gloomy, just like the event he was at; his parents funeral.

He felt a pull at his sleeve, looking over to see his karate comrade, Sakura Haruno. She mentioned him to look forward.

Really? Did she always have to be so annoying?

He did look forward, and saw the caskets being lowered into the ground. He thought that they might was well lower him too. His life had been a living hell lately.

He then felt a hand clamp onto his shoulder. He didn't bother to look. He knew it was his 24 year old brother Itachi. Itachi and Sasuke never really got together. Both never really talked too. Itachi was favored by Dad, and Sasuke found himself favored by Mom. But really, Itachi and Sasuke never got along with anyone. They were known to be silent, and always looking as if they would rather be thinking than talking to you. It just had always been that way.

Around him, people started to leave, knowing the Uchiha boys didn't really want to hear any "sorry" from them. He just stood there as the slight breeze made his hair sway with it. They hand stayed there, on his shoulder.

Sasuke had not shed one tear. But boy, did he feel stinging in his heart. He might not have been oh-so close to his parents, but he still respected them very much. And the fact that they had died the day before his birthday was a shocker. But a supposed-to-be-friend of the family had man-slaughtered them, now that was a push-over.

Now he had nightmares every time he tries to sleep. It was well, creepy to him.

Itachi finely lifted his hand, and the sound of crunching leaves could be heard.

"Ahem" He looked over to see Sakura who was still standing there, along with Naruto, and Kakashi. Naruto also was in his karate class, and Kakashi was their teacher. This group was close, for at the school, they put you in a team of 3, with a teacher. And here was his whole team.

Sakura opened her mouth, but only to close it. She just kept her eyes on the group, like most of them, and stayed quite. But Naruto wasn't like that.

"Sorry teme." He said using his favorite nickname for him, other than bakka. Naruto should know about this, for he too had lost his parents. Sasuke didn't say anything back.

Sakura walked in front of him, making him put up an eyebrow in question. She just handed him a pure white flower. She had those earlier, and wondered what they were for. He also noticed she had two; one for him, and one probley for Itachi. She then walked away, probley going to go look for the said person.

He looked down at the fragile flower. He started to twirl it between his fingers. When he stopped, the sky started to sprinkle rain onto the earth.

The 3 guys started to walk away. Sasuke looked around and saw Sakura bowing to Itachi, and he was holding an identical flower to the one Sasuke was holding.

Sakura then walked over to the 3, making it 4. AKA team 7.

As they walked down the main street of Konoha, they saw many little kids running around, having fun, and Mothers talking to on-another. It was a lively street.

Kakashi then bowed to them, and walked into a random store. The three kept walking til' they neared Naruto's apartment complex. He just walked off, leaving Sasuke and Sakura. They just walked then to Sakura's house, both silent.

"ACHO!" Sakura sneezed. Sasuke looked over at the pink-haired girl.

"How far til' your house?"

"Not very fa-ACHO!" she sneezed in the middle of the sentence.

Sasuke didn't like sick people, and blaming the weather, he took off his jacket.

"Here." He said in a commanding tone that said take-it-cuz'-you're-annoying. She just looked at him, then the jacket, him, the jacket.

"Um, Ok?" She said in a questioning tone. She reached out for it, and put it on. This was odd for them. For Sasuke had many fan-girls and Sakura had a small crush on him making it look like she was one. Plus; he knew that she liked him. But her knowing he HATED his fan-girls, she tried not to be too annoying. But Sasuke's meaning or any girl WAS annoying, so it was almost impossible.

So as they kept walking, she kept sneezing. Then, it started to rain even harder!

Luckily there was a park that they were walking by. And in the middle of that park was a small covered area. They saw it, and ran over to it thanking the people who live in the clouds above them. When they got there, Sakura tried to warm herself by rubbing her arms. She scolded herself for not checking the weather pattern, and wearing a black mini skirt, black long sleeved shirt, and black boots. Her hair was now socked, and clinging to her face.

Sasuke on the other hand was not complaining. He had black pants, and un-tucked dark blue dress shirt with black flames, and black shoes. The black jacket completed the out-fit.

They just stayed under there, still quite. The area had railing, and Sakura leaned against it, deep in thought. Really, she was thinking of what to say. She never did find the words, cuz' Itachi's car stopped by the park. 'He must have been looking for Sasuke, and saw us here.' She thought. Sakura saw this, and poked Sasuke in the side.

"Hn?"

"Itachi's here with a car, it's raining. Put it together. Wow, she was looking for nice words earlier, but that came out later? Oh well, it caught his attention.

They ran over there, and Sasuke stopped to open to door for both of them. He mentioned her in first. When Itachi saw this, he quirked an eyebrow.

"What?!" he said with a growl. Can he not, or to try to, be polite?

Sakura saw this, and just decided to accept the offer, and got in. She steeled herself a seat next to the window, and glazed out.

"So, Sakura? Where shall it be?" Itachi asked.

"333 Kikkoman lane." She said after a while. She hadn't even noticed that anyone had even spoken til' she felt Sasuke's boring eyes on her waiting for the answer too.

"Really" The Uchihas said in union.

"Yeah, really. Why?"

The two looked at each-other.

"We live about two streets away from Kikkoman." Itachi answered.

'Odd, how could we have never noticed that before?' they all thought. They stayed this way til' they came to her house. It was a normal looking house. This is why Sakura hated it.

"Sakura, we're here." Itachi announced.

Sakura got out of the car, and then turned around again.

"Sasuke, I'll iron you jacket and all that, and then bring it over. Ok?" Sasuke nodded at this, told where exactly they lived. Sakura walked to her door, only to remember: she forgot her keys inside the house.

'Oh goody' she thought. She backed up, and then run towards the door, and kicking it. Well, it sure did open! She smiled to herself, and walked inside, making sure to close the door. She liked the way the house's warm air warmed her. She then went upstairs, walked into her room, turned on the computer by habit, and then went to go take a shower.

Sasuke was surprised to see Sakura kick open the door.

'Has she ever heard of a key? Or hiding one outside? God!' Yep, Sasuke is still an ice-cold-bastard when he was surprised. But that's why so many people like him, no? Sasuke was also surprised when he heard Itachi chuckle.

"You really didn't know she lived, like, a block away from us? Sad Sasuke, just sad!"

"Well, maybe I could care less if I knew where that fan-girl lived!" he said ending it with a deep growl. But Itachi just chuckled again.

AN: there! Whew! It's finished! I'll post the next chapter later. I know it sounds so depressing at the beginning. But now, it's time for a cold glass of lemonade,……………
