❀Chapter 3 of - Smile For Me and I'll Smile for You
The snow was flurring but falling gracefully around Sakura. Her body feeling weak, that fact didn't stop her from walking toward school though.
Her eyes appearing to be full of life to outsiders, however if she were in front of her two loved ones they would easily locate the grief in her pure green orbs.
She quickly made sure to have her mood up. Naruto had made her feel better yesterday and she didn't want to disappoint him today.
Sakura was going to make sure that absolutely nothing would ruin her mood today.
- Don't hide from me, please. -
Upon opening her classroom door Sakura was berated with many voices screeching and hollering. 'Ugh' another migraine was going to ensue soon, very soon.
Sasuke opened his eyes to see the roseate girl angrily stepping in class most definitely due to the racket their class was making.
Smirking, Sasuke found this very amusing. Sakura always looked best when she was mad. He couldn't pinpoint why it was just that weird something about her.
His smirk turned into a thin line when Sakura only seated herself next to him and eventually casually conversed with Naruto.
This just got the boy even more annoyed. It was all bothersome, Sakura was getting on his nerves when she would sometimes even ignore the fact he was talking to her, sometimes not even acknowledging that he was present.
She was smiling at whatever Naruto had said, she was still the same with Naruto. It became painstakingly agitating that Sasuke glared at Sakura's "annoyingly" bright pink head.
Sakura sensing an eerie aura behind her courageously shifted herself to lock eyes with Sasuke. He was 100% irritated at something. Since it was Sakura we are talking about she thought it was her fault and silenced her talking.
'He's doing it again I should just not say anything around him at all' Sakura concluded.
Naruto quickly comprehended that Sakura had become quiet, shooting his eye direction toward the reason being…Sasuke. He clenched his fits, knuckles turning white.
"Chicken ass what the hell is your fricken problem now?!" Naruto fiercely yelled. He himself glaring at Sasuke with blazing eyes he had never done before. Let alone against his best friend that is, with full seriousness.
In a millisecond Sasuke's obsidian eyes rocketed on the blue powdered pair. He blinked thrice as if he was contemplating what Naruto had said.
The class went completely tongue tied, what was going to happen?
Sakura nervously darted her green apple eyes from Naruto to Sasuke. She didn't like where the events were going.
Answering with rage that countered Naruto's Sasuke opened his mouth, "Shut up idiot, are you mental? Or did your parents just drop you when you were born?" he crossed the line both he and Sakura knew that Naruto had been adopted.
His foster father Jiraiya was an okay man he was good to Naruto. But he wasn't his real father.
Cackling shortly Naruto retorted, " How the fuck would I know about that? And answer my first question you bastard!" he was boiling at this point tension growing in the atmosphere as everyone watched.
Sakura couldn't believe what these two were doing. She didn't know anything. She was afraid of what might appear next.
"Hn, I guess you and her aremy problem." Sasuke explained without void of change. He was on a roll right now.
Sakura went wide eyed she felt like gravity was pulling her down.
Naruto noted the girl between them tense and jumped over his desk walking to the front of Sasuke.
"You wanna say that again Sasuke?" Naruto's blond hair shadowed the upper half of his face.
She sensed danger, she automatically pulled her head up to her two boys.
Smirking that arrogant smirk Sasuke let his words free, "The idiot looking at me and the stupid girl next to me are my problem." he repeated not once backing down.
"TEME!" Naruto roared jumping on Sasuke and punching him. Sasuke spat out blood but caught Naruto's fist before he gave another blow.
"Heh, do you think you could beat me?" Sasuke pushed Naruto off easily. Naruto hitting his back on the desk that fell over.
The girls who were staring rooted for Sasuke. The guys of the class were frigid, they would never think that these two of all people would be fighting.
Naruto reached up and grabbed Sasuke's collar about to hit his face again until Sasuke kneed him in the stomach.
Sakura was horrified as they continued to beat each other. The duo had never done this before, it was never like this.
"Stop it!" Sakura screamed desperately trying to separate them, tears threatening to fall any moment.
But they didn't pay attention to her pleas they both could only think of damaging the other faster.
One for hurting the girl he cared about. One harboring an unknown jealousy.
Trying her best to break apart her friends dispute Sakura threw herself into the brawl and tried to pry the other's hands apart.
She was knocked down by Naruto's elbow colliding with her cheek. Sasuke's hand that pushed her because she was getting in their way.
Time ran off short as the bruised boys looked down at the fallen girl holding the right of her face. Their distinctive eyes were different in color but the same emotion right at that moment.
Sakura didn't move, she couldn't move liquid seeped through her eyelids. Cascading down her visible cheek and the hand covering the other. She didn't blink.
The door shot open with Iruka-sensei looking up at the scene.
"What the heck is going on here?!?! Naruto, Sasuke go straight to the principle's office immediately!" Iruka shouted he was going ballistic right now.
Neither of them budged hearing his voice they were frozen at their roots.
"NOW!" losing his patience further Iruka grabbed both boys collars and dragged them out the door.
The boys treaded the halls silently robotically with numb feeling. Taking slow steps toward their destination.
"Sakura come on, let's go I'll bring you to the infirmary. He quickly added, "The rest of you clean up this mess and I expect it to be quiet when I get back." Iruka can be caring at times too.
Right now he did not know what had happened. These three were never like this through the days he knew them. He began to worry.
Sakura felt torn not because of her cheek but for the fact that her best friends were just fighting. Fighting.
They looked like different characters to her, they were not familiar people she knew.
There wasn't a boy who was shouting hyperactively.
There wasn't a boy who was growing silently annoyed.
Iruka let her sit on the bed to wait for the nurse and left to go see the two in the office.
- Where are you? I don't know you anymore. I'm afraid. -
Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki sat facing their Principle Tsunade. The woman had blonde hair but not as bright as Naruto's and honey brown eyes. She uh had a very large ehem bosom too.
In her commanding voice Tsunade spoke, "From what Iruka told me you both were beating each other senseless. Look at yourselves, now Naruto I would expect this from you sometimes. But Sasuke this is a surprise." she lowered her eyelids slightly examining the boys.
They looked like real crap. Sasuke had bruises on his cheeks and dried blood on his chin. Naruto sported a bloody nose with a bruised gut that was felt but not seen.
Sighing the older woman clicked her tongue, "I need a reason before I punish the both of you so speak or receive what I right now think you should." Tsunade warned.
These two wouldn't fight each other like this for what she knew. The trio were known greatly in this school. Everyone including every teacher knew about the three and their bond.
Anyone who was anyone though actually.
The clocked ticked and not one word was uttered from the boys.
Tsunade took a sip of her sake and proceeded, "Alright, Naruto you are not allowed to attend the next basketball game against the Sound. Sasuke you will not be in the game either(Sasuke plays basketball it just isn't his favorite thing to do unlike Naruto). Also you both will be filing books in the library for the whole school day excused from classes tomorrow.
She paused, the two really weren't talking. Not even the loud mouth blond and these were very hard punishments. "…I am going to call your parents to come at the end of the day so come right after the bell rings for dismissal. Understood?" she asked.
They only kept their fists in a tight clutch and stared at her. Finally they picked themselves up to go to the infirmary themselves.
Iruka's orders before he left them to Tsunade.
- I'm stunned, I can't believe what I have just done. -
Naruto and Sasuke had opened the door to find a sleeping Sakura on the white bed covered in the thin blanket.
"Ah, hello there you two look awful sit over here." Shizune was the school nurse she was always bickering with Tsunade at how lazy she was but still Tsunade had taught her everything she knew. She was indebted to her.
The two still injured teenagers sat on the rolling chairs as Shizune began treating them.
Naruto only stared to his side at Sakura. He only liked it when she tended to him. With Shizune it was okay but this was her job. He felt nothing he wanted the girl who was lying on the bed with a bandage to heal him.
It was his fault that she was hurt this time.
Sasuke kept his stare on the tiled floors he didn't want to glance up and see Sakura's sleeping face on the bed. She was there because she tried to stop them.
It was his fault that she was here.
"Okay well you two are done. You can stay here and rest if you like. Shizune said with a friendly smile. But she saw how guilty the two appeared to be right now. Of course Shizune also knew the reason.
"Don't worry guys she's fine just a bruise on her cheek and back. Apologize later." with that Shizune left them alone to take her break.
Sasuke slowly let his eyes trail from the foot of the occupied bed to the head lying on the pillow. His eyes the same with Naruto were filled with regret. Their eyes met for the slightest minute, then simultaneously they stood up.
Naruto came to the left of Sakura and gently wrapped his hand around her delicate one.
Sasuke was on the right of her he calloused his hand around hers the same movement that Naruto had done.
They were scared that if they held even a fraction more firmly she would break into pieces under their fingertips.
Today they had physically harmed their best friends. The one they cared about most though was of the girl they each had taken the hand of.
Eyes soft and calm Sasuke apologized, "Naruto I'm sorry for what I said earlier." he never took his sight off Sakura. He couldn't bring himself to.
Inside Naruto was shocked from the sudden apology it was Sasuke we're talking about. But he dismissed it, he too didn't make a movement.
"Yeah and sorry that I jumped on you…" Naruto said.
"You don't need to be sorry since I'm the one who got you even more fired up." Sasuke stated still barely a whisper.
Naruto shook his head, "Sasuke lets just leave it and tell her we're both sorry when she wakes up. I feel like the bastard now." he spoke his words sadly.
Sasuke nodded knowingly.
They were suppose to be protecting her and then they go and hurt her themselves. It was so mockingly stupid that it turned out this way.
"Hey Naruto"
"Yeah?"
"Next time, we make sure she isn't around."
"Yeah."
It was inevitable, they would fight like that again one day they knew it. The two were best friends after all and she was also very close to them.
The duo will never know what might occur next time. Every speck holds something new.
That might have been fate. Friendship can be so strong, yet there will come a time where there would be drastic changes.
And this was only the beginning of it.
They stayed the whole day by Sakura's side until the bell rang for dismissal.
Taking one last look at their peaceful pink haired friend they exited back to the office to face their parents.
- We can't runaway and go back to being kids again that's life. -
There in the office was Mikoto Uchiha and Jiraiya. Fugaku Uchiha was out on a business trip while his wife was on vacation.
"Hello Sasuke, Naruto. Mikoto tiled her head. "Tsunade-san says that you boys were fighting? Was Sakura involved?" Target hit. Mikoto got it right on the spot she knew about her son and his friends the. She was the most knowledgeable about them.
"No reason Okaa-san we were just doing something stupid." Sasuke answered his mother and with that they began to leave.
Mikoto knew her young son wasn't going to let anything else out so she just went along with it.
"Goodbye Naruto, Jiraiya-san, Tsunade-san." said people waved at the nice woman.
"Pervert lets go home I'm tired," Naruto exclaimed to his foster father. He was a gigantic pervert after all.
"Naruto keep that up and I might actually ground you this time. Smiling cheekily. "So long Tsunade see ya later!" he quickly left not wanting to face the wrath of Tsunade.
She pinched the bridge of her nose and took a sip of her sake. Jiraiya was still the stupid idiot he always was.
~At the Infirmary~
"Sakura come on wake up I came to take you home." came Kaben Haruno.
Sakura lifted her eyelids hearing her mother's hushed voice and slowly sat up straight. Her back still in pain from landing on the floor.
"Okay" came her monotone reply. She didn't care that her mother was here. She was only called to come and get her is all, so done.
Sitting in the backseat she was behind her mother while 'Ugly' was in the drivers seat. Her four year old younger half sister was beside her.
Her sister acted spoiled especially around their mother. It was mostly always so annoying when she was around.
Her name was Hana. Hana came from a different guy before 'Ugly', but she still got to see him regularly.
The ride home was quiet on Sakura's part she barely spoke a word. When they finally reached home Sakura went straight to her bed after a bath.
She did not feel like eating dinner with them.
Lying on her green covered bed Sakura turned the volume of her ipod up to tune out any noise from downstairs.
Her hand drifted to touch the bandage on her cheek. Pictures of the problems had arised in the morning probed in Sakura's mind.
She began to clutch the part of her tank top where her heart was located. It hurt, her best friends were attacking each other.
Those two, Naruto and Sasuke had never done this before. Even if Sasuke deserved it for what he said. Violence was absolutely not needed.
Her thoughts filled with their faces till finally she fell into slumber wondering what might fall on tomorrow.
Naruto was throwing his basketball at the ceiling and catching it again. He had been doing this for a while since it seemed to help him think.
Sasuke was strumming his acoustic guitar testing out the strings, trying to find things that may need fixing, this helped him think.
Both thinking the same: 'Sakura, are you alright?'
