Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto nor any of it's characters but I do own Suria who is part of my vivid imagination.
I'm discontinuing this story.
Sasuke raised his right hand and shouted, "Suria!" His best friend sat on the edge of the dock, swinging her legs back and forth while humming a little tune.
Hearing the voice of Sasuke, Suria raced to his side. She greeted him with a warm smile while they walked. "Suria, I heard you're graduating today," Sasuke said.
Suria bobbed her head up and down. "Sasuke, don't worry. You're number one in your class. I'm sure you'll graduate soon," an assuring smile graced her face once again and Sasuke couldn't help but put that jealousy aside to be happy for her.
"Mmh. I'm sure too," Sasuke said, "Did you meet your sensei yet?"
"Uh…yea. She's a little scary," Suria blushed a deep red, "she said, she said, well I corrected her today and…well…she told me off."
"Oh. Make sure you get on good terms with your sensei," Sasuke advised her.
"Of course. Anyway, she's got a mean punch. Never get near her when's she mad. That's the only thing I have to say." Both children laughed and headed their way into the village. It was around 6 and restaurants awaited them.
"Where to go tonight? Oh, I know. Let's go to Ichiraku Raman!"
"I-chi-raku Raman? I've never been there before," Suria said.
"Serious? My family and I went there all the time. It's really good. Come on!" Sasuke ran off in a jiffy and Suria struggled to catch up with him although it only took her a minute or two.
Suria stared at her new teammates. How did she, an elite jounin, become stuck with two genins and a perverted sensei. "Kakashi-," she started.
"Sensei," Kakashi corrected her.
"Sensei," she mumbled under her breath, "can we train now? We don't have any missions? Nothing?"
"Oh no, we have a Rank-A mission," Kakashi tried to lighten up the mood.
"Really?" Suria asked, excited.
"Nope," Kakashi chuckled for a second before he found a bowl of miso soup on his head. It dripped down onto his book and a scream pervaded throughout the whole restaurant. "My book! My poor book!"
Naruto, Sakura, and Suria all shook their heads. How pathetic was their teacher really? "He's pathetic, perverted, and paranoid. To sum him up, he's the three P's," Suria commented.
Naruto cracked up while Sakura glared Sakura, glaring? at both of them. A smile cracked onto Suria's face but she quickly wiped it off. The joke itself wasn't that funny. She'd been saying that ever since she met Kakashi. But Naruto reminded her so much of when Sasuke was younger. Unfortunately, hearing what Naruto had said, Sasuke had obviously changed--a lot.
I want to point this out to you now before I forget but have you realized Sasuke's name, split up, sounds like, Sauce, kay. Hehe, sorry for interrupting you.
Suria sighed and decided to turn to Naruto, "Naruto. Um…this might be a sensitive subject but I was just…wondering about…Sasuke's girlfriends."
Sakura turned around, she tried to hear what Naruto was saying but the crowd was droning him out. For once, she wanted to listen to Naruto but something was in the way.
Naruto burst out in laughter, "Sasuke was loved and was lusted by every girl possible--including Sakura-chan." Suria's mouth opened in shock but closed it quickly before anyone could notice. After all, talented ninja never show off their weaknesses.
"So, Sakura…," Suria began.
Naruto, once again, burst out in laughter. Sakura was going to hit him but stopped herself when he continued, "Sasuke pushed everyone away. He never seemed to like even one girl he met except for that time Sakura hugged him. I'm sure he's protective about her but more in a brotherly way."
When Sakura heard this, she became sadder. That was the truth and she already knew it. But for Naruto to have even figured it out, it must've been obvious.
Suria seemed to heave a sigh of relief. Well, that's what Sakura thought. "Why? Do you like him?" Sakura asked, out of the blue.
Suria looked shocked. She stumbled on her words, "I-I um…I-of course not! I was just wondering about his love life. Wait, no, that doesn't sound right." She heaved another sigh and continued, "What I mean is that I just was curious."
I love my flashbacks!
Suria looked up into the white of the moon. It reflected in the water and she could see the little ripples. She smiled, a true smile this time. Sasuke sat next to her, this was their last day together until she came back. Of course, they didn't know it would be much longer. "Sasuke, I'll miss you."
Sasuke looked deep into the eyes of his best friend. "I'll miss you too." By that time, Suria was already tearing and sniffling while Sasuke was trying to hold back. That didn't work too well when finally he was on the verge of tears.
Suria could hear the birds chirping already. She sighed, it was already dawn. "Sasuke, promise…promise me that'll you'll always be here for me." She choked out the last words but when Sasuke smiled, she was sure he understood what she meant.
"I promise," Sasuke whispered.
Sasuke pushed the hair out of Suria's face. Tears were streaming down his face now. He leaned down and Suria could feel the warmth of Sasuke's lips. It was a sweet, chaste kiss that meant so much.
Suria could feel something burning in her heart as she kissed back. When it finally broke off, both stared at each other's eyes. A twinkling in each. "Bye, Sasuke," Suria whispered. Her hand slipped from his grip and she stood up. As she walked away, Sasuke touched his lips and whispered, "Goodbye, Suria."
Short and…short. Like I said, I'm putting this story on hiatus. Maybe I'll work on Sand's Treasure or my fiction press stuff, I don't know. In the summer, when school's all over, I'll possible start it…depends.
