It was raining. It seemed to always rain when he was sad. Sasuke walked home slowly, thinking about Naruto. He always thinks of Naruto.

"Why does he make me feel…like this?" Sasuke's hands started to tremble. His heart was beating rapidly.

He found a bench nearby, and sat on it. Sasuke didn't care about the rain. He didn't care.

"He makes me feel like I am special. Like I am supposed to protect him. He makes me…feel." Sasuke clutched his chest. Tears started to come down his cheeks, staining then. The rain and his tears moved together in a motion of melancholy.

A rustle in the bushes made Sasuke jump ten feet in the air.

"Gah!" Sasuke flailed his arms in front of him. A figure stepped out of the bushes.

"What are you doing out here in the rain, Sasuke?" It was none other than…

"Sakura? What the heck are you doing here!" Sasuke yelled, furious to see her.

"I was kind of…following you."

"You are such a stalker!"

"A stalker of love!"

"Would you just SHUT UP!" Sasuke screamed in her face. His tears stopped. All that was left on his face was pure anger. Sakura's face became serious. She stared at Sasuke.

"You're in love with that idiot?!"

"You heard everything?"

"Well yea. I was walking behind you…"

Sasuke sighed, "You mean stalking."

"Right," Sakura cleared her throat, "Are you serious??"

Sasuke knew this type of reaction would happen.

"Huh," He put his hand to his forehead.

"Well?" Sakura put her hands on her hips. "What does he have, that I don't?!"

Sasuke looked at her. His stare could cut through stone, but then it softened.

"Do you want to know what he has and you don't? I'll tell you." He shifted his gaze to the distance.

"He is always smiling. When I look at him, I feel like I can always have fun with him. I don't show emotion much, but when I am with him…I feel…complete. He is my rival, but in truth, I want to be like him. He lifts me up, inspires me to be a different person. Someone more caring, and loving to other people. That is what he has, Sakura. No one can replace him in my heart."

Sakura stared at Sasuke. Her eyes started to well up. Tears rolled down her face.

"Sasuke! You are just…!" She couldn't finish. It was too much of a shock.

"Sakura…"

SLAP

Sakura slapped Sasuke. Hard. Her tears kept coming, but her rage emerged as well.

"Fine then, Mr. Uchiha! You keep feeling that way about HIM. I cannot believe it! You of all people! Ugh!" She ran away as fast as she could.

The rain kept pouring. Sasuke looked up into the sky.

"Is what I am feeling wrong?"
