Chapter 2: Why Her?
Sasuke entered his apartment.
Good. Nothing was stolen by the fangirls and it was definitely neat and clean the way he left it.
Sasuke put his backpack on the couch and headed for the bathroom. He turned on the lights and looked at his self in the mirror.
It was different being back. He was so much used to the world outside.
He walked towards the sink and washed his face. He pat his face dry with a towel and stopped to look at the mirror when he saw the picture frame on his table near the window that was reflecting on the mirror.
He walked towards the table and took the picture. He smiled.
I can't believe this is how I was before…
He looked at Naruto…
He still looked the same…
He tilted his head and looked at Kakashi.
His smile faded a little.
"Hn"
He was angry at that time because Kakashi had forced him into having a place in that picture.
Then his gaze came to Sakura's turn.
Is she really what everybody else talked about her just a while ago?...
Sasuke shook his head and turned for the closet.
He got dressed and lay down on his bed. He looked outside the window.
It feels good to be back here though…
As soon as he woke up the next morning he took a bath and got dressed then went off for training right away.
"Need help?" Neji asked.
"I don't need anyone's fucking help" Sasuke said as he kicked the exercise doll in front of him to pieces.
"But you need to do more than that" Shikamaru said who stepped out from behind the tree.
"Why won't you just leave me alone! Your not even good enough to become ANBU! What makes you think you could help me?" Sasuke shot to Shikamaru.
Shikamaru shrugged and walked away.
"Suit yourself! But I tell you! The test is going to be hard."
1 week passed and it seemed to him that he wasn't at all improving.
Sure he had already defeated his brother but that was only because Itachi let him.
That kind of strength wasn't enough for him.
On a late evening after his training he passed by Naruto on the way.
"Sasuke!"
He stopped and put his hands in his pockets.
"Wanna' go get some ramen?"
Sasuke hasn't eaten dinner yet and he was too tired to cook but, he was hungry all in all.
"Sure" He said with a smirk.
As usual Naruto plunged down on his ramen.
"Another bowl please!"
As he waited he couldn't help noticing the disturbed look on Sasuke's face.
"Ei, Sasuke! What's wrong?" Naruto asked looking at him puzzled.
"Are you worried about the Jounin exams."
"Sort of…"
"Why won't you let anyone help you?"
"Because!" Sasuke said looking at Naruto with rage. "I don't need anyone's god damn help!"
"Geez Sasuke! I'm only trying to give advice" Naruto said as he looked at the can of chopsticks in front of him before looking down on the table. "Ever since your return…you've been much colder now Sasuke."
"So?"
"What I'm saying is I'm only trying to help! The Jounin exam is going to be difficult and unpredictable!"
"What do you mean unpredictable?" Sasuke asked looking surprised.
"It means! That we don't have the same Jounin text exams very year. Only the ANBU commander is being told of the exams and what its contents are."
"What are you saying?" Sasuke asked returning to his ramen.
"Only Sakura can help you…"
"Why her?" he said looking at Naruto like he was the only person not right in this world.
"Duh! She's ANBU already plus…she's really strong now. She's not only ANBU she's the ANBU commander."
Sasuke looked at his noodles thinking.
"Why don't you just try asking her for help…that way you could pass easily"
Naruto was sure that he'd say no but as Sasuke looked back at him he got a different answer.
"Okay…"
They ate their dinner and Sasuke bid goodbye to Naruto who was still ordering his 23 bowl of ramen.
Sasuke walked home with his hands in his pockets looking down at the ground.
Why does everyone seem to look highly about Sakura? Why her?...
He got dressed and laid down on his bed.
He turned facing the door to the bath room.
There's only 1 week left.
Sasuke wondered…if Sakura would come back after the exams, how could he pass easily?
This thought bothered him.
Sigh…
If she doesn't come back before the exams I guess that I'll just have to figure this out on my own…
tbc…
