Sasuke Uchiha Must Die
Chapter 3
"Bwhahahahaha, Sakura-chan you suck at this!"
We were at a weird arcade in the mall. It was an old one and it was deserted. Naruto dragged me here to play this game after I lost the bet. He said that this was going to be "fun" and truthfully ,the game was fun, but it was the weirdest game I ever played. It was called "Catch the Monkey"
Do you know what the game is about?
Trying to hit a monkey with bowls of ramen… Yes, ramen. I swear this guy was ramen crazy! To think that he would be so obsessed to even play games about ramen! He's nuts!...but then again he was giving me the time of my life right now and heck, this game was fun!
"Shut up Naruto! I'm going to beat your score! Just you watch, I'll kick your ass! Shannaro!" I shouted. I was getting way too into this.
"Yeah, yeah," He grinned. "So after you finish this game I have somewhere else I want to take you."
I paused.
"Where are you gonna take me now?" I questioned.
He gave me a crooked grin. "You'll just have to wait and see."
I stared at him. I wanted to know so badly what he was planning and I wanted to know now! I'm not good with not knowing things.
I finished the game and went out of the mall with Naruto. We started to drive to the location where Naruto talked about. It was a long drive but, something told me that it was all worth it. Being here with Naruto and getting to talk to him. It was enough. It was better than being at home watching Grey's Anatomy. It was fun.
We arrived at the said place.
It was an old, run down store. The windows dirty, the bricks loose on the wall, and lights flickering on and off. It was giving off a seriously creepy vibe.
"Sakura-chan, you're not scared are you?" Naruto asked with an evil grin.
I gulped. "No! Why on earth would you think that for?"
"Because your hands are shaking."
I looked down. He was right. They were shaking and the funny thing was I didn't even realize it. I looked back up at Naruto, but quickly looked back down blushing. He was staring at me. It wasn't like the kind of stare where it reads "Oh baby, oh baby, I want you," it was the kind of stare that read "You're different and I want to figure you out" or something like that. It was embarrassing and it made me nervous.
Finally Naruto stopped staring and began to move towards the shack. I stayed still. There was no way I was gonna move. No way! Unless someone physically moved me, I was not going to move.
"Are you coming Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked as he realized I wasn't following.
I didn't reply. I just looked at him.
He sighed and shook his head. He walked back to me and grabbed my hand and tugged me along. I could feel my cheeks getting warm from the contact.
We made it inside and surprisingly he lead me down some stairs, to the basement. I was about to pull away but I realized there were voices and music coming from down there.
We walked down the stairs and inside of the basement was something completely different from what I imagined. It was nice and neat, filled with books, music, and the aroma of coffee. It was like a Barnes and Noble, except there weren't very many people. It was amazing. I never thought something like this could be in a basement of an old shack.
"So what do you think?" Naruto asked, peering at me curiously.
"It's…wow! Why is a place like this doing in a basement of an old shack?"
He grinned, "The family that runs this place doesn't want to deal with many people. They like to be isolated from the world and want things to be quiet. They just wanted it to be like a little vacation of peace for the few people who do know this place exists. Almost everybody knows each other in here too because they're the only ones that come to this place. Me and my friends come here all the time to get some quiet time!"
"If you're here all the time, what exactly do you do here?"
There was an awkward moment of silence then Naruto answered.
"I sleep..."
I froze. What did he just say?
"Sleep?" I asked.
"Yeah, I sleep. If I go home I'll be forced to do chores, so I sleep here during the day since I can't sleep at home."
I giggled.
"Naruto, you're scared of your parents?"
He froze, "Well, not exactly, but I wouldn't say that I'm not threatened either…"
I grinned. "Awww, poor Naruto-chan, you poor baby," I teased.
He blushed. "Shut up Sakura-chan! It's not funny!" He pouted with his cheeks still tinted from embarrassment.
"So am I going to get to explore this place or not?"
He nodded. Then I began to explore the place with Naruto.
4 hours later…
I was laying on one of the couches in the shack listening to music while watching Naruto argue with some old man named Jiraiya. Jiraiya was supposedly checking me out earlier or something and Naruto got angry and started a verbal war with the old man. After that they would start arguments randomly and continue to argue until someone won, but soon after one would end another would start. I found it very amusing.
"Frogs are better than foxes my dear Naru-chan. I'm sorry to burst your hopes and dreams there," Jiraiya said in a matter of fact tone.
"Whatever, you old perv'! Nobody wants your god damn opinion!" Naruto yelled angrily. People were beginning to stare at the two loud idiots.
It was never going to end.
Finally it ended and there was peace. I sighed. I thought it was over, but obviously I was wrong
"A girl's chest is more important than a girl's personality. Don't you think?" Jiraiya muttered to himself while reading a romance novel. Unfortunately for him, Naruto heard it. I think I even saw him twitch when he heard Jiraiya.
"No, it isn't you old man. You're the most fucking perverted person I ever met…" Naruto said becoming rather ticked off. I could feel the dark aura radiating off of him. Just being near him gave me shivers.
"Will you two knock it off? Do you two always have to be fighting?" I asked.
In unison they replied, "Yes, because he always starts it!" and point fingers at each other.
I sighed. It really was never gonna end…
"What time is it?" I asked Naruto.
"Ummm, let me see… 10:45!"
Oh crap.
"Naruto, I think I need to go home. Now."
"Okay, let me just go get my stuff and then I'll take you home," Naruto replied, "I'll be right back!" Then he walked away and left me with Jiraiya.
"Sooo, you Naruto's girl?" Jiraiya asked, peering curiously at me.
"No, I'm just his friend," I said while looking away from his stare.
He looked at me, grinned, and said "I see…" Why was he grinning for? Was there something amusing about my answer?
"Ready to go Sakura-chan?" Naruto said from behind me. Since when did he get there?
Yawning, I replied, "Yeah, let's go," and walked up the stairs to go home.
As we were almost out the door, I heard Jiraiya yell, "No hanky panky in the car!"
Naruto and I froze. I could literally feel my face turning red from that comment. Why would he say that for? Why! I think Naruto felt weird about it too because he wouldn't look me in the face for 5 minutes after that comment. Thank goodness. I'm glad I wasn't the only one embarrassed from it.
Finally I made it home at 11:30. It was really late compared to what time I normally get home at.
I looked at Naruto and said my thanks for taking me out and got out of his car. I was walking to the door when Naruto called out my name.
"Sakura-chan?"
I looked back at him. "Yes?"
"Umm, I was just wondering… are we friends now?" he asked shyly.
I smiled gently. "Yes, of course Naruto. Why wouldn't we be?"
"Well, I didn't know for sure or not…and does that mean we can hang out at school and stuff too?"
I giggled. "Yes, Naruto!"
He gave a big wide smile. "Great! So I'll see you at school on Monday?"
"Yeah," I replied, "See you Monday." Then I walked into my house and Naruto drove home.
It was Monday, the beginning of the new week at Konoha Gakuen. I was walking into the school and I was dead tired. I'd been talking on the phone to Naruto for the whole entire night. He had somehow gotten my number and decided that he wanted to call me for a little check-up. The phone call lasted a long time. The conversations roamed about through many different topics, from music to stand up comics to even what we had for dinner that night. It never stopped. It was the most talking I ever done in my life, let alone 6 hours.
I got to my locker and gathered my things for first period. It was English and today was pretty much a free day since all we had to do was watch Romeo and Juliet. It was easy.
I picked up my copy of Romeo and Juliet. Then I heard a voice call upon me from behind. "Good morning Sakura-chan!"I turned around.
It was Naruto. He was wearing a white polo and some ripped jeans and his usual rock necklace.
"Good morning Naruto!" I replied with a bright smile. Whenever I'd talk to him I would always get a smile on my face.
"So did you see that re-run last night?" Naruto asked.
"Yes!" I exclaimed, "Did you see that one lady fall face first off the diving board?" We were talking about America's Funniest Home Videos. It was one of the conversations we were talking about last night. We both found that show to be pretty hilarious. We especially loved the parts where the guys would get hit in their balls.
We started talking and walked to our class. It felt like normal. As if it was a normal everyday thing but, we knew it wasn't and so did everyone else.
Everybody was whispering and staring at us. It was creepy. It was like the whole world was watching us or something. But Naruto didn't seem to mind, it was like he was used to it. I wonder why?
"Hey, Naruto. Why is everyone staring at us for?" I whispered to him.
"Beats me, people are always staring at me. I don't know why." He replied nonchalantly.
He doesn't know either? This is the beginning of a mystery…
Finally we made it to class. We sat in our seats, waited for the bell to ring and then class started.
At Lunch
"Hey Sakura-chan, over here!" Naruto called for me across the cafeteria. I got out of line and on my tray were some french fries and a cheeseburger. It wasn't exactly McDonalds, but it would have to do.
"Naruto, ummm why did you bring that for?" I asked.
"For lunch of course!" I sweat dropped. It was ramen in a container. Not even warm, but cold. His obsession with ramen was seriously beginning to worry me, but I didn't say anything.
"So are you ready for that Biology test?"
"No! Kakashi-sensei is getting way too ahead of himself! He doesn't even know what he's teaching us at all! All he knows is what's in his little "special" book that he reads. He is such a fu-" interrupted, a voice asked,"What exactly are you talking about?" Naruto looked behind him.
It was Kakashi-sensei and of course he had his book. Naruto gulped. "Heheheh, Nothing! Nothing at all! Just talking about how great you are!" he replied.
Kakashi-sensei smirked. "Nice save." Then he looked at us with a twinkle in his eyes. "Anyways have a wonderful lunch period!"
As he walked away, Naruto and I just stared at his retreating back, "What was that about?" Naruto whispered. I laughed. It seemed it just now hit him that people were treating us that way.
We ate and talked for the rest of the period and went to the rest of our classes.
At the end of the day Naruto and I were walking to our lockers and someone came up to us and asked Naruto a question. "Is that your girlfriend?" the person asked.
I froze. That's what the stares were all about? I start to hang out with Naruto and I get mistaken for his girlfriend!
"No, me and Sakura-chan are just friends! Dattebayo!" He explained with a confused look on his face, "Why?"
"Everyone is saying it. Even your friends are."
"What! They must've seen me and her walking around and jumped to conclusions! They are always fucking jumping to conclusions!" He said letting his temper get ahead of him and scaring the poor kid away.
As he calmed down, he turned towards me and said, "Sakura-chan, I'll see you tomorrow! I gotta go practice! Sayoonara!"
Then he ran away before I could even say goodbye.
"What was that all about?" I muttered, walking away, "And what practice? What team is he on here?"
I slowed my walking as my head began to spin from the questions forming in my mind. "Who are Naruto's friends anyway?" I thought, "Are they like him?" I paused, suddenly I snapped out of my thoughts and shook my head.
"I really should stop being so nosy…" I thought and walked home.
Naruto's POV~
"God, damn it! Where the hell are they?" I yelled.
I was starting to get seriously sick of trying to find the place to practice. It changes so much that I can't even keep up!
Suddenly, a basketball came spiraling toward me. I tried to move in time but failed miserably and ended up getting a basketball to the face.
"Yo, dobe. You're late."
I turned around to look at the person responsible for my basketball print face.
It was Sasuke in all his "glory". That bastard…
"TEME! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!"
He smirked, turned around and began walking away from me.
"OI TEME! I'M TALKING TO YOU!" I yelled getting seriously ticked.
He still didn't respond.
Pissed, I took the basketball and threw it at Sasuke's head. I thought it was actually going to make it, but of course, teme catches the ball just in time, without even having to look or use both hands. The girls in the hall were swooning over his magnificent performance.
He turned around and looked at me with that smirk still plastered on his face. "You know something dobe? You throw like a girl." I twitched. "Sai is right when he says you have no balls," He stated. Acting like he was far superior to me!... Well, maybe he was, but that doesn't give him the right to say that to me! No way in hell!
I was going to pummel him. I don't care if he's my best friend or not. He deserved to get punched in the face right now.
"TEME!" I yelled, about to pounce, but arms held me back. The arms belonged to no other than Shikamaru Nara.
"Oi Naruto, Could you not do this at school? Remember you're on probation from the last time you tried to fight Sasuke at school. You could get kicked off the basketball team if you don't quit," Shikamaru contemplated.
I understood what he meant. Last time I tried beating up Sasuke I missed him multiple times and ended up breaking the school's trophy case. I had to pay like $50 and ended up getting after-school detention for a month.
"Fine, but I'm still kicking his ass after we get outta here." I muttered.
I started walking behind Sasuke to practice.
"Tch, how troublesome.." Shikamaru muttered, following right after them.
Preview:
So he's not dating her…
I began to gather my things, losing interest in their conversation.
"I do like her though, she's cute," I heard Naruto whisper.
I froze. So he does like the girl…
I smirked.
Interesting…
Me: Sorry the story is starting off kind of slow but I promise to make it more exciting in the next chapter!
Sasuke: You do know the reason why this story is boring so far right?
Me: *sigh* Why?
Sasuke: Because it doesn't have enough of me in it of course *smirks*
Me: *twitch* Well, aren't you modest?
Sasuke: *smirks*
Me: Stop smirking.
Sasuke: *smirks even wider*
Me: If you dont stop smirking I'll threaten Masashi Kishimoto to make your next outfit a pink frilly dress with lots of ruffles!
Sasuke: ...
Me: *smirks* Thats a good boy.
Sasuke: Hn.
