A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I swear, I was about to stop writing but you guys got me going again. . Well, here is chapter 2! I hope you like...
"WHAT?!" Naruto hollered so loudly, that both Hinata and Sasuke probably went deaf. He didn't stop there. "How could you lose your gift to Sakura-chan?!" he continued.
"Shut up, dobe." Sasuke said, twitching at the noise. Damn... I can't hear right in my left ear...
"Na-ruu-to, please ca-lm do-wn..." Hinata shyly stuttered. She then started twiddling at her thumbs for no apparent reason. Sasuke glanced at her, and rolled his eyes.
"HOW CAN I CALM DOWN?!" Naruto exclaimed, jumping from his seat. "Go look for it now! Sakura's going to be upset with you!" Naruto continued, his tone finally very slowly getting quieter.
"Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?" Sasuke told Naruto with his monotone tone, standing up from his seat. He started to walk away coolly, putting his hands in his pockets. Without looking back, Sasuke muttered to Naruto, "I was going to go look for it anyway." Naruto shot him a quizzical look, but Sasuke couldn't see it, because he was already gone.
"What a bastard." Naruto murmured. He sat down in his seat, crossed his arms, and started pouting like a child. Hinata just sighed.
Sasuke started walking back to his apartment. I guess I'll just follow the trail I took earlier. He continued to walk down the path to his apartment, looking around for the lost chocolate, when his stomach let out a loud, vicious noise. Sasuke flinched. He was starting to get frustrated. He was starving, his gift for Sakura was nowhere to be found, and he was losing a great chance to train.
Sasuke continued to look for the chocolate, his gaze traveling everywhere. He started to speed up. Eventually, he broke out into a jog, and he started to sweat uncontrollably. Where the hell is it? He thought inwardly. How could I be stupid enough to lose it? As soon as he realized he was losing his cool, he tried to calm down. It kind of worked. He was really close to his apartment, when he saw the chocolate shop from earlier.
Sasuke walked up to it, and thought, If I can't find them, why don't I buy some new chocolate? He cautiously walked inside, remembering the annoying girl from earlier. He started looking around the store for another present, possibly similiar to the last. A noise from behind the counter at the end of the room caused him to jump in surprise. It was the weird girl from before.
"So you came back, did you?" The girl questioned Sasuke, smirking slightly at his shock.
"What's it to you?" Sasuke replied.
"I'm sorry, but we have no more chocolate like the one you bought earlier." The girl informed Sasuke, smiling mysteriously and looking around the room. "I'm afraid we don't even have anything similar to give you."
Sasuke gave her an icy, cold glare which definitely shot daggers, which would've killed her for sure if it were possible. He gave the eerie room one last glance, and decided to leave. However, something caught his eye. It was a heart shaped box. A heart shaped box filled with chocolate, and tied with a pink ribbon. A Valentine's gift, with "For Sakura" written on the little card attached to it. Realization suddenly hit Sasuke like bright, strong lightening, and almost cut him in half.
"Where did you get this?" Sasuke asked, already knowing the answer. Now it was just a matter of whether or not he would come back with it alive.
The girl grinned so ridiculously, it reached from ear to ear. She answered, "Oh, that? I found it right outside of my little shop. Some idiot must've dropped it." She shrugged carelessly, not knowing that the Uchiha was struggling behind that mask of his.
"Hn." He simply muttered, planning on just taking it and running. However, he managed to say one thing he hadn't expected. "I need it. I dropped it." With that, he left, leaving just traces of dust.
"Hey, wait a second! Don't leave again!" The girl yelled out hopelessly. "Geez..." She sat down in a chair and pouted for an immensely long time.
As soon as Sasuke left, he clunched his stomach hard. It grumbled, and he looked at the clock. It was starting to get late, and he still hadn't eaten.
Meanwhile, Naruto was leaving Ichiraku, parting ways with Hinata for a while. He started to drag along the path to Sakura's house, because he wanted to pay her a visit. He was growing tired for some reason, and his legs felt heavier with every step he took. I ate too much... Naruto thought, grabbing his filled stomach. Right when he was about to sit down on a bench, he heard a familiar voice.
"Hey, dobe." Sasuke called to Naruto.
"Sasuke-teme! Did you find the present?" Naruto shouted in Sasuke's ear, causing him to get hit in the head by a very mad Sasuke.
"Don't yell like that. I'll go deaf." Sasuke plainly stated.
"Did you find the present?" Naruto repeated, this time calmer and less loud.
"Hn," was all Sasuke said. Avoiding eye contact, Sasuke asked, "Where were you going?"
"I was going to Sakura-chan's house!" Naruto murmured, looking away from Sasuke. He added, "But I guess I won't need to now, since you're here..."
"Naruto," Sasuke simply said, taking out the Valentine's chocolate he had gotten for Sakura. "Bring these to Sakura, and tell her they're from me."
"What?! Why don't you give them to her?!" Naruto yelled once again, although this time it wasn't deafening. "I thought you we-"
"Shut up. I have something else I need to do," Sasuke said, his ebony eyes looking at the Ichiraku ramen shop. He felt that if in ten minutes he didn't get any food, he'd be a goner. "So just do this." He added.
"Okay, fine." Naruto stated, staring at the chocolates Sasuke gave to him to give to Sakura. He then threw Sasuke a quizzical glance. "But... of all things, why chocolate? You could've gotten her-"
"Shut up, dobe."
"I mean, come on! CHOCOLATE?" Naruto said, starting to piss the Uchiha off. "It'll make her think that you think she's fat or something!" Naruto babbled.
"Shut up."
"You really have no taste, don't you, Teme?" Naruto continued. He was about to say more, when he finally realized that Sasuke had left him with the gift in his hands quite a while ago. "You bastard!" Naruto screamed with anger.
Sakura let out a loud, long sigh while she was in her room. She was extremely bored. What should I do? Sakura thought. All of her friends had dates, and here she was, all alone in her houseSakura looked out of her window, and sighed once again. It was beautiful weather. I think I'll go for a walk. Sakura thought it was a good idea, so she went out her door and started walking down the path opposite of where Sasuke and Naruto just were.
"Hey... don't you think you're going a little fast?" Ayame said to Sasuke, who was sitting alone on the stool, stuffing ramen down his throat.
"No. Go away." Sasuke managed in the middle of his bites. Ayame sighed, and went back to working. Sasuke finally decided he was finished, and held back a burp. His face turned pale for a second, and he almost threw up. I shouldn't have eaten so much... He then paid for the food, and walked away with a full stomach. He decided to take a break so he didn't throw up, and he sat on a bench nearby.
Naruto continued to walk down the path to Sakura's house. It was rather far, and he was going kind of slow, probably because he was talking to himself a lot. "Sasuke, that bastard," he muttered to himself. "How dare he make me do this when I could be home sleeping or something?" Naruto continued. He started getting angry simply thinking about Sasuke, so he sped up.
"Damn, damn, damn!" Naruto was practically yelling, causing the people around him to stare. Then, without knowing it, he started stomping, louder, and louder, until his feet felt like they would fall off. He continued to do this until he ran into a door. He finally got out of his daze, and stared at the door for a few seconds, and then at his surroundings. Naruto had arrived at Sakura's home, without even knowing it. He slowly rang the doorbell to her house. When nobody came, he repeatedly rang it, and eventually started banging on it with his fist.
"Sakura, I know you're in there!" Naruto yelled, fuming. Did he come all of this way for nothing? Naruto continued to knock, no, bang on Sakura's door, until he finally gave up because his hand was naturally cramping up.
"Damn." Naruto murmured. He was exhausted because of his tantrums, so he just sat down on the ground right beside the door. He then swung out the gift that was supposed to be for Sakura, and examined it thoroughly. Naruto noticed that the top just pops right off, so he took the top off of the box. He loudly sighed, which actually lasted for a while, simply because he saw the chocolates. Naruto stared at them for quite a while.
"Damn... those look so good." Naruto whispered to himself. There was a short pause. "Then again, one won't hurt, right?" Naruto smiled rather sheepishly. Afterall, the poor guy needed something sweet to eat after his lunch.
