s.t.o.r.y.

sdrawkcaB... um, oh dear, haha, I mean Backwards

The raven haired boy stood outside of the house. Little plants sat on either side of the small stairs that lead to the entrance. The sun was getting high, and his heart was being crazily. His mind raced, 'What if her parents are here... What if it's only here dad here... wait... What if he has pink hair?' Sasuke's black eyes widened at the thought of Sakura getting her cute pink hair from her dad. Then his mind continued with its worrying.

'What if she's here? What if no one's home? What do I do with this stupid flower?' He looked down at the daffodil in his large hands, it wasn't necessarily wilting yet, it just didn't look that happy. If only his specialty jutsu could make a vase and water appear, instead of potentially burning down the girl's entire house.

His black eyes stared down at the innocent flower, glaring at it. It seemed to wilt even further. Sasuke growled. "This is a stupid idea," he muttered to himself. "I'll just go now." As he turned to leave, he heard the door open.

"Hello?" For a split second Sasuke froze in his tracks, a pink haired man popped into his head. He gulped and turned around.

Although against his immediate thought, the man who stood there had light sandy brown hair with jade green eyes, he wore glasses that framed those very familiar eyes. "Can I help you?" The man said staring at Sasuke.

"U-um..." it took the young teenager a moment to remember why he was there. "A-are you Mr. Haruno?" he asked, the man standing there nodded at the boy. "Uh... can you give this to your daughter please?" Sasuke held out the daffodil for the man to take.

"Sure?" Mr. Haruno reached his hand out and took the stem of the flower, "May I ask who is giving this to her?"

Sasuke stood there for another second. 'I'm the last friggen Uchiha in this whole village, and he is still going to ask me that?' He took a breath, "T-tell her Uchiha Sasuke, sir." The black haired boy stood there for another minute before bowing. "Th-thank you." Then Sasuke walked away.

Sakura hummed as she walked along the streets of Konoha, she was happy that she finally was able to get throwing under control. Usually her weapons went everywhere, but after Sasuke gave her that pointer, well it worked like a charm. She smiled to herself as she walked.

"Sakura-chan!" A loud mouthed blond yelled, "Sakura-chan!" Naruto ran up to the girl, "U-umm, hi." he smiled his adoring big silly smile.

"Hi Naruto," Sakura smiled back at him. "What's up?" she asked as she walked, she had never noticed how blue his eyes were, they were so full, so bright. Like the sky on a perfect summer day, when you sat on the beach, the azure sky reflecting onto the ocean, and the ocean reflecting the sky's perfection.

"Oh, nothing," his smile hadn't moved. "I was just going to go grab some ramen... would you like to come?" He asked it quietly, strange for his loud mouthed characteristics. Sakura was almost speechless.

"I-i told my father I would be home for lunch Naruto, I-i'm sorry." She saw as his smile faded some, probably thinking she was lying to him. "B-but... I can ask him if I can go with you to eat dinner?" For some reason the words slipped from her lips before she knew what she was saying.

"R-really Sakura-chan?" the boy's smile enlarged again, his eyes got even brighter, "Really?" he repeated.

She smiled at him, "Of coarse Naruto, I'll ask after lunch okay? We'll go to Ichiraku's and get some ramen for dinner together." She giggled some as he jumped in the air a little.

"It's a date Sakura-chan!" Naruto said while he started walking away from her, grinning from ear to ear.

The girl's heart started beating all off. 'Date?' She thought. 'N-naruto is only my friend... isn't he?' She didn't correct him as she walked away from her own house, she needed to talk to Ino.

"What?" Ino practically screamed "You did what?"

"May... have... inadvertently... told Naruto... that I'd go to dinner... with him. Tonight." her grin was small and sheepish.

Ino stood there, looking at her idiot of a friend. She was almost speechless. Almost. "But you're trying to get with Sasuke!" Sakura nodded a yes. "Then why the heck are you trying to date Naruto?"

"No no no no... no. I am not 'trying' to date Naruto-" Sakura started.

Ino cut her off. "You already are?" The pink haired girl screamed a no. "Well, going out to dinner with him looks like a date to me forehead." Sakura looked at the carpet in Ino's bedroom, it was a deep plush purple. A blush inched its way onto her cheeks.

"I didn't mean to, he looked so sad, and it just slipped out. I don't like being mean to him Ino, he's a nice kid, people just misunderstand him." Sakura picked at her nails as she spoke. "He's my friend, and I do care about him... i-it's nice when someone asks you to go somewhere. No one ever asks me to go anywhere. Naruto is irritating, but he means well, and he likes me... Maybe... Maybe it's time I gave up on Sasuke..." Her jade eyes stared sadly on the floor.

"I mean, you have Shika, and he talks to you, and like... wants to be with you... and asks you to go places with him. He thinks your beautiful. It's like Sasuke can't even stand to look at me. Like I'm ugly Ino. I don't like feeling like that. I love him... but I'm ready to give up..."

"Sak..." Ino looked at her friend through her platinum blonde hair.

"I-i don't know what to do Ino... It's like he never sees me... Why can't he see me?" Tears pulled at the girl's jade eyes. Ino stepped over to her sitting friend and sat by her, wrapping her thin arms around her best friend.

"I don't know Sak... maybe he does... and just doesn't know how to tell you he does..."

"Why would he see me Ino? I'm stupid and ugly," Ino opened her mouth to tell her friend that she wasn't ugly, but Sakura ignored her and kept talking. " and weak. And he's Sasuke fricken Uchiha... He's never going to see me... never." Her tears poured from her jade eyes. Ino hugged her friend closer.

Bum bum bumm... Okay, chapter 3, there ya all go, I know it's shorter, blahh, but I'm updating Home Sweet... Home... too, so maybe that makes it better? Tell me what you think please. Good bad, dumb nice, what ever you want to say, please let me know.
