甘い隠し / Hidden Sweet
A Naruto Uzumaki AU Story.
Chapter One: Raging Pinky
Mika Kaneko sighed as she worked her legs to the road that led to school. The usual white button up shirt and green skirt covered her 15-year old body, but unlike the other Konoha Academy students, the headband that ultimately gave away you studied there was not visible.
It wasn't that she didn't want anyone want to know that she was studying there. She loved her school. She just didn't know where to place that infamous blue accessory. For example:
Sakura Haruno wore it over her annoying pink hair.
Shikamaru Nara wore it over his shoulder.
Ino Yamanaka wore it like a belt.
Hinata Hyuuga wore it like a necklace.
And all the other non-hipster kids wore it over their forehead.
And unfortunately for Mika, she was in that hipster stage all teenagers faced.
Of course, Mika took it a little bit too drastically. She was in the process of replacing her blood with ketchup, but for some odd reason she passed out in the process.
"Oi, junior out of the way."
"Mmm?"
Mika looked back at voice and her eyes almost popped. In front of her stood no other than Itachi Uchiha.
The Itachi Uchiha.
He was wearing green pants, button up shirt, the headband over his forehead and his hair in that sexy ponytail Mika had tried stealing so many times. He was also wearing a necklace with a red-cloud, that represented the fact that he was in the Senior class called 'Akatsuki'.
Akatsuki was a senior program of Konoha High. It was actually a section for talented seniors. And for some odd reason, all the really good looking ones attended.
"...H-Hai! I-I'm sorry for getting in your way, Uchiha-san!"
Mika quickly stepped back from his way.
With a scoff and a smirk, Itachi resumed walking in a rather arrogant way.
Mika flipped out her cellphone and successfully got a picture of him. Or well...of his oh-so sexy back part that apparently all the Uchiha possessed.
'DAAT ASSS-'
"Mika-chan!"
The dark,green haired girl turned around to look at her best-friends, Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuuga. She grinned and flipped her cellphone close.
If they saw that picture they'd steal it and she wanted every little ounce of credit from it.
"Morning Ino. Morning Hinata~!"
Ino stopped in front her. Her blonde hair bounced and beside her, Hinata's goodies bounced as well. Mika swore if both Ino and Hinata had babies they'd be perfect little models which she could kidnap later for profit.
Unfortunately, biology had gotten in the way.
Ino immediately started talking about something unimportant and that didn't revolve around the korean men Mika adored. Hyuuga patiently smiled at her and Mika couldn't feel luckier about having someone like Hinata on her side.
Quiet and submissive. Not like the loud and raging Yamanaka.
Mika was about to make a lame comment along the lines 'That's what she said' if it weren't for the fact that an evil pink aura was running towards them.
Sakura Haruno looked pissed.
And pissed was an understatement.
The Raging Pinky (Mika was extremely good at making nicknames under pressure) stopped in front of Mika, pointing a manicured, accusing finger at her face.
"You! Who do you think you are?"
"I solemnly believe I am Mika Kanoko, daughter of Rika Kanoko and-"
"Ugh, not that! Look at this."
Sakura forced her cellphone into Mika's face. Mika blinked and got adjusted to the annoying light it gave off. There in the cellphone screen was no other than a picture of Naruto and Mika.
But it wasn't a friendly kind of picture. It looked like a porn cover...not that Mika new anything about porn.
In the picture, a shirtless Naruto was over Mika, who layed on the floor under him, looking down at her with what could be described as a 'lustful and hungry' stare. Mika was looking up at him with what apparently was a 'submissive and innocent' look. By the way they appeared it seemed as they had just finished a very steamy make-out session.
But that was just Mika's analization.
'I wish. Sasuke was the only one who got to enjoy him.'
"Okay, look. I can explain. I was playing soccer with Shikamaru, Gaara, Sasu-"
"You were playing with Sasuke?"
"-And then the ball went flying into this neighbor's house and I was the heroine in the story, so I went after the ball and got kidnapped by Jiraiya-"
"You went into Naruto's house?"
"God, dammit! Pinky stop interrupting me!"
Sasuke threw a dirty glare at Mika and flipped her phone shut. Mika had to move back so the phone wouldn't shut off her nose. Sakura took a deep breathe and looked at Mika with deadly, yet calm eyes, which freaked Mika out.
'Who knew Sakura could do two things at a time!'
"Woah there. Sakura I swear there is nothi-"
"Listen here Mika."
Mika stopped and blinked at Sakura.
"You're ugly, unlike me. Naruto is mine and you have absolutely no permission to be with Naruto, let alone be his dumb slut-"
Mika's eyes widened as she heard the words escape Sakura's mouth.
Something inside her twitched. Her usual bright brown eyes became dark, and she felt a rush of blood in her system. Something she not experienced for over 2 years.
Her stare became deadly and in a flash she had Sakura by her collar.
Ino and Hinata gasped, and the people around them stopped as they saw Mika's latch out.
Mika was not the type to start fights. Mika was the bubbly hippie that seemed to fan girl over too much stuff.
Sakura had fallen silent under Mika's grasp, and her eyes became just scared, green orbs.
"You, listen here Pinky. Don't go around saying stuff like that to people without even knowing their stories. You have no idea who I am, and I highly recommend you to back off. If you even dare say a word or make up some dumb rumor about me over that picture I promise that I will beat you up so badly-"
"What the hell is going on here?"
Everyone turned and looked at Naruto.
There in all his morning glory, Naruto Uzumaki was looking directly at the scene. Something about it ticked him off.
His eyes turned into a glare and it was directed to Mika and Mika only. Mika stared back at him, slightly surprised yet kept her stance.
Sakura on the other hand had started sobbing and tears were falling off her eyes.
"Mika, let her go. Now."
"But she deserves to-"
"Now. You're hurting her."
Naruto's tone, now that surprised Mika.
She gritted her teeth and let Sakura's collar go. Sakura landed on the floor on her back and quickly sat up, pulling her knees up and burying her face over them. People around tried helping her out but Mika's glare stopped them, and slowly they backed off the scene. Her glare resumed to remain on Sakura and the whole thing made her want to really punch her.
'She's a real good actor...'
Naruto was by her side, offering her help. Mika couldn't help but scoff at the scene she thought pitiful. She bent down and picked up her bag, which had fallen off when she grabbed Sakura's collar and proceeded to pick up the pink cellphone that laid shut on the ground. She stood up and quickly flipped it open. Her fingers quickly went over the keyboard and soon the delete option displayed over the picture Sakura showed her.
'She probably has a thousand copies, but whatever.'
"Give me her phone."
Mika looked back at Naruto just as she flipped the phone shut. He was still glaring her and it made her angry. He had no reason to be looking at her that way. She rolled her eyes.
"Make me."
Gasps erupted around the crowd that had somewhat dispersed when the blonde had arrived.
"Give me the phone."
Mika threw the phone at Naruto's face and he caught it just before it slammed against his nose. He kept his gaze on Mika as he lowered his hand for Sakura so she could stand up. Mika looked away and with an air of pride walked out of the scene, followed by a very surprised Ino and Hinata.
"He's just so dumb! How dare he believe in Pinky? She's so fake! Did you see her crying? Did you? Hmmm?"
"Mika, calm down."
Ino crossed her arms over her chest, tapping her foot. Hinata was sitting next to Mika under a tree inside the school. There was still 15 minutes left to spare before class and Mika was more than sure that the rumor had spread like wildfire.
She took deep breathes and looked down, closing her eyes.
'Please don't let this happen here too. Not here. I like it here. Please don't let them think I'm some kind of monster..'
She knew the event had been small, but she had been being so careful all of this time. Mika was always keeping her mood in check, and now it made her worry. She was pretty sure Naruto hated her now.
'I can't believe I acted that way with Naruto-san!'
She bit her lip and opened her eyes. The tree over her swayed, and so did the small shade it created.
"Ugh...I can't believe I got so angry!"
Hinata looked at Mika giving her a sympathetic smile.
"I-It's o-okay Mika... W-We all understand h-how annoying Sakura c-can be..."
"Yeah, but I lashed out at Naruto too! He probably thinks I'm annoying, too!"
Ino scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"Naruto isn't that kind of person, you should know that Mika. You've already been 2 years here, enough times to know how Naruto never holds grudges."
Mika sighed.
"I know..But now I need to apologize and all that...I'm just so confused. Why him? Why did that dumb bastard have to walk in right when Sakura and I were having a discussion," Mika ranted as a silent Ino was trying to make signals at her, "It's not my fault! She was totally begging for it!"
"Mika."
"And I know I didn't have to be so harsh but I just can't help but get so angry!"
"Mika!"
"And I just lashed out and now I regret it so very much!"
"Mika!"
"What?"
"I need to talk to you."
Mika gasped and looked at her side. There, as bright as the sun, stood Naruto Uzumaki, but unlike most times his expression was a very serious one. One that said Mika was going to get scolded. Ino and Hinata got the message and bid goodbye to Mika, leaving her alone with Naruto.
'Naruto is almost never serious...Even his tone of voice changed...'
Mika's eyes followed Naruto's movement. From the moment he walked over until the moment he was sitting considerable inches away from her. She curled her fingers over her lap and tried to control herself. In these moments she'd fangirl about how close he was in her head, but all that she could think of was all the foods she was never able to taste due to her very short living.
'Why isn't he speaking? He's really going for a silent kill...Haha, I'm so funny.'
Mika giggled at the comment in her mind and immediately felt better.
Naruto gave her a weird look. In an instant, Mika stopped and blushed.
'...Why do I always embrass myself like this?'
Naruto noticed the way she freezed, the way she blushed and the way she stammered for an explanation. Her cute personality always affected him. He couldn't even remember why he was mad for a second. Watching Mika embarrassed made him feel so...He really couldn't describe it. It made his heart flutter slightly and just eased his mood.
'She's just so damn cute...To think this short creature could hold Sakura down.'
And soon the pissed off Naruto was back.
"A-A-And I j-just think 'Hey, he's going for the sile-"
"Mika, listen."
In a moment Mika shut her mouth. She was so glad he shut her up. She could have spent the next 3 hours explaining such a short event.
"I just need an explanation of what happened."
Naruto looked at Mika right in the eye and leaned slightly closer. Mika felt her face redden as her fingers tightened. She gulped and nodded her head slowly.
"You see I, Mika Kanoko, was innocently walking to school when the Raging Pinky appeared. I swear I was doing nothing."
"Raging Pinky?"
Mika skipped happily to class knocking down every freshman on her way. It was revenge for what Deidara had done to her.
'Hakuna Matata~! The circle of life really is nice.'
She entered her Physics class with triumph. She had been able to explain her side of the story successfully to Naruto and he didn't seem to want to her kill her anymore. Mika really couldn't felt any happier.
But unfortunately, happy endings don't come to soon.
Principal Tsunade stood leaning against her locked. A bruised Sakura was next to her.
'This will not go well...'
