Chapter 3: Stare Down


Last time on "Promise"

"Hey, Watanabe. Do you think I enjoy being caught by Uchiha? And you Uchiha, why did you catch me. Didn't I tell you that I don't like being touched? Oh let me guess your answer. 'h..." Sakura was abrubtly interupted when she felt something warm on her lips. When she looked down she saw that Uchiha had placed his lips over her mouth. Sakura was so shocked she was speechless. Sas... um...Uchiha took this moment to drag Sakura towards the door again

"Annoying girl"

"UCHIHA!!!!" Sakura shouted as she was being dragged out of the classroom. The whole class just stared at the two people that were exiting the classroom. They just stared at two leaving and hoped to see something interesting. hen theysaw nothing, the class just turned away. Too bad they didnt see the blush creeping up Sakura's face. Only Ami saw that and boy was she mad.


"Uchiha! Put me down this instant!" Sakura was slung over Sasuke's shoulder and being carried to who knows where. Trying to escape, Sakura was pounding on Sasuke's back...hard.

"Annoying girl" Sasuke opended a nearby door, walked in then, closed the door behind him. Gentally, he picked Sakura up and dropped her on the floor. "We're here."

"What do you mean 'we're here'? Where is 'here' and why did you bring me 'here'?" Sakura got up and dusted herself off. Then she sent a glare towards Sasuke, only to receive a glare back. "What, cat got your tongue you chicken-haired bastard? Where's your answer? Oh wait, don't answer that, cause I know your answer. H.." Sakura was cut off by Sasuke since he pressed his lips against Sakura's..again.

Mmmm... Sasuke-kun's an excellent kisser

Yeah he... What?! Who are you?

I'm your inner self, remember?

Oh no! Not you again. I thought i got rid of you.

Nope. I just took a short vacation.

How can you take a vacation in my mind?

By going to the vacation section of your mind, duh.

... I despise you.

Awww.. I love you too. Hey, Sakura have you noticed that Sasuke is still kissing you?

Yea... WHAT?!!

Sakura ended her conversation with her inner self and snapped back into reality. Seeing Sasuke still kissing her, Sakura did the first thing that came to mind; she slapped him. " UCHIHA!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!"

Sasuke stumbled back a bit then grabbed his cheek where Sakura had slapped him. He winced a bit when he grabbed his cheek, but then he just smirked. "WHY ARE YOU SMIRKING, YOU BASTARD!! HOW CAN YOU SMIRK AFTER KI...KI..."

"Kissing you?" Sasuke continued to smirk and started to walk towards Sakura. Since Sasuke was approaching her, Sakura began to back away from him. Every step Sasuke took forward, Sakura took a step back. Soon Sakura was backed up against the wall with Sasuke just inches away from her. Sakura noticed this close contact, and started to blush. "What's this? Sakura Haruno is blushing?"

"No I'm not!" Sakura placed her hands on her hips and glared at Sasuke.

Woah, Sakura's hot when she's mad.

yeah she... What the hell?

Che. So you agree with me.

No I don't think Sakura is hot when she's mad

Ha! You just said that Sakura's hot yourself.

No I didn't

So you think that Sakura's ugly

No

Then do you think she's hot

ye...NO!!

Then what do you think if you don't think she ugly and you don't think she hot? Do you think that she anything at all?

I...wait...huh??

Just say she's HOT

NO!

Fine that way. Hmph. I'm going to my room! And don't come crying to me when you admit she's hot.

Whatever

Sasuke continued to argue with his inner self whether Sakura was hot or not. Sakura noticed that Sasuke had stopped inching closer to her so she took this oppurtunity to escape. Just as Sakura was about to open the door...

"What do you think you're doing Sakura?" Sasuke ended his conversation with his inner self and faced Sakura, with an eyebrow raised. Sakura slowly turned around and stared Sasuke straight in the eyes.

"I'm leaving, isn't that obvious? Tsk, I never knew an Uchiha was this stupid." Sakura crossed her arms and continued staring into Sasuke's onyx eyes, not breaking contact, nor blinking

So you want to have a staring contest, eh Sa-ku-ra? Well you are in for it now. Us Uchihas are champs when it comes to a stare down. Sasuke uncrossed his arms and walked towards Sakura, keeping his eyes locked with her emearld eyes.

As the minutes passed, Sakura began to twitch. Of course Sasuke, being the Uchiha he was, just kept his normal expression on: blank. Sakura began to twitch and sweat feverishly after 3 mor minutes passed. Sasuke noticed this and smirked at Sakura's expressions. Still, Sasuke had to admit, Sakura was a worthy opponent.

"What's the matter Sa-ku-ra? You know, you should give up now." Sasuke still kept his gaze locked with Sakura, and smirked even more when he saw that Sakura began to twitch even more.

"U...CHI...HA! SHUT...UP" Sakura continued to stare into Sasuke's eyes, but was having trouble keeping her eyes open.

"Aww...little Sakura can't keep up with me? That's alright, I never expected you to be able to any way." Sakura was just about to blink when...

BRRRRRRIIIIINNNNNG!

"Students, please head towards your next class at this time. Thank you." Sakura closed her eyes and took a deep breath. As she opened her eyes, she saw Sasuke retreating back.

"Where do you think you're going Uchiha?" Sakura stormed over to Sasuke, grabbed his shoulder, and turned him around to face her. "This isn't over yet"

Seeing that Sakura was angry that they didn't finish the stare down, Sasuke decided to mess with her a bit. "I believe it is over, Sa-ku-ra. If I'm not correct, you were the first one to blink, when you closed your eyes a moment ago."

Sakura stared at Sasuke, speechless. Shit! He's right! I did blink first! Sasuke saw the dumbfounded look on Sakura's face and smirked at it. At that moment, Sasuke reached into his pockets, took out something that was small and rectamgular, and threw it at Sakura's face.

"I believe this is yours. I found it on my way to school today, and I thought it was polite to return it to you." Sasuke smirked and just walked out, leaving a red-faced Sakura.

"UCHIHA!!! GET BACK HERE YOU ARROGANT BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU THROW THIS AT MY FACE!!" Sakura realized that Sasuke had already left, and began cursing under her breath. Since this rectangular thing was supposedly hers, Sakura decided to see what it is. Looking at it, Sakura saw that is was her I.D. Card.

Hey! I thought I dropped this at the pond...Wait! That means that Sasuke was the one in the tree! Grrr... He's in for it now. Sakura stuffed her I.D. Card into her pocket and stormed out of the classroom. "U-CHI-HA!!!"

Sasuke heard Sakura's scream and smirked to himself. Hmph. I never knew that Haruno was such a loudmouth. Guess I should get to know her better. Sasuke continued to walk towards his next class, while Sakura was looking for him, kicking anyone that was in her way.

To be continued...


Author's Note: It's the end of Chapter 3! I hoped that you readers liked reading it. I kind of had a writer's block, so I don't think it came out the way I want it. But I do know that Sasuke and Sakura are really OOC, but rest assured I will make it better in the later chapters. Please Read and Review!

Thanks,
