I, Artsysmiles, do not own Naruto! Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange? A world where I own Naruto! Wow. That is really creepy. That is all.
Well, sniff, I actually am surprised. I really wasn't sure if anyone would review this. Waaaahhhhh! I feel so special! Also, did you know that this is one of the few SasuXSaku western romances out there? Pretty cool, huh? Now, here's HARP!
Naruto's words echoed in his head. Welcome to H.A.R.P. You're in Hell now. If anything, Sasuke was not going to be sleeping well tonight. Sasuke's eyes scanned the room he just walked into. Naruto was engaged in a fierce rock paper scissors battle with Shikamaru, who believed it was too "troublesome" to be awake.
"What's Sakura's problem?" asked Sasuke, breaking the silence of the room. Naruto gave him a confused look, and Shikamaru sighed.
"What problem?" asked the blonde. Sasuke glared at Naruto until he finally understood what Sasuke was implying. "Oh! She doesn't have a problem, none at all!"
"Hn." Sasuke had a disbelieving look on his face at the blonde's statement. "Sure."
"Troublesome," grumbled Shikamaru. "Come on. Supper's in a few minutes, so we might as well head over." The boys rose, and began the silent trek towards Tsunade's house.
"Ne, Tsunade, remind me again why we decided to house misguided teens," sighed Sakura, obviously annoyed. Tsunade huffed angrily, but still answered Sakura's question.
"First of all, this was not my idea. Secondly, Sarutobi said it would get me out of gambling debt," the blonde woman said sheepishly. Sakura stiffled a giggle, and drew Tsunade's attention to herself. "Go change. Shizune is coming over, and I'd prefer it if you were dressed in nicer clothing."
"Fine!" snapped the girl as she trudged up the stairs to her bedroom. "Damn boys! Making me give up my free time to help them! Pfft! Like any of them would do the same for me!" Sakura grumbled all the way to her room, failing to notice the boys enter the house. Tsunade's amber eyes roamed over their bodies, as though making sure they were allowed into her home.
"Wipe your feet!" she snarled before the boys could track in anymore mud.
"Yes, Tsunade-san," droned Shikamaru and Naruto. A typical "Hn" came from Sasuke. "Hey, baa-chan, where do we sit?" asked Naruto, seeing as there were only two places set for dinner.
"Oh, yes. You see..."
"Troublesome," grumbled Shikamaru as he poked his potatoes. Naruto had a happy look plastered on his idiotic face, and Sasuke stared at the road, wishing for a car to come and take him away. However, one of the tablemates was extremely unhappy.
"DAMMIT! I THOUGHT I WAS EATING WITH YOU!" roared Sakura. Tsunade laughed, and walked back inside with Shizune. "Dumb blonde," she muttered, obviously pissed at being sandwiched in between Naruto and Sasuke.
"What?" snapped Naruto, anger rising from the dumb blonde comment. Sakura sent a glare his way, and insatntly all chatter stopped.
A nicker could be heard from the corral by the barn, causing Sakura to glance in it's direction. Her eyebrows furrowed as she saw a young gelding trying to break open the corral lock. Silently, she rose to calm the horse, leaving an upset Naruto.
"Hey, hey teme! Do you think Sakura likes me?" stage whispered Naruto, cerulean eyes glued to the female's back. Sasuke shook his head, and a sad sigh rose from Naruto's mouth. "Maybe she'll like me better later."
"Whatever dobe," muttered Sasuke as he continued to stare at the road, wishing for a way home.
"OI! GET UP!" barked Sakura. Sasuke groaned and glanced at the clock on the bunkhouse wall; it read 4:00 a.m.
"What the hell?"
"HEY! I TOLD YOU TO GET UP! Naruto and Shikamaru are already outside ready for their lesson, and I'm the one stuck waking you up," growled Sakura, an angry glare on her face. Sasuke matched it with one of his own, causing Sakura to blink back in surprise.
"I'll work when I'm ready," he mumbled as he pulled the blanket over his head.
"Fine. You win," sighed the female as she walked from the room. Finally! thought Sasuke.
"YEOW!" he shrieked seconds later as icy cold water engulfed his body. He jumped from bed and was face to face with a sullen Sakura.
"When I say get up, get up." And with that, she left, pink pony tail blowing in her angered walk.
That's it for chapter two! Kinda slow, but I'll have more interesting things later, promise. Now, I'll be updating Celestial Maiden, and then Chemistry, and finally HARP. Oh, and HARP stands for Horse And Rider Program. Just so you know. Now, review!
