Servant and Master, A Naruto FanFic
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 4
Naruto stretched with a yawn and climbed out of bed. She was walking into the kitchen when she noticed that there was a big red circle around today on her calendar.
"Back to being Sasuke's servant," she muttered. Naruto made her usual breakfast, ramen and a glass of milk. "Itadakimasu," she said cheerfully. She downed her ramen and milk and quickly changed. On her way to school she passed by a bumpy, sideways fence. "Ohayo, Konohamaru."
He dropped the tarp. "You're as sharp as ever Naruto. Let's fight fair and square."
"Gomen, Konohamaru. I have to go to an explanatory meeting. From today forward, I am a kunoichi."
Naruto continued walking to school. When she got to class, Sasuke beckoned her over. "Hai, Sasuke-sama."
"Sit next to me."
Naruto laughed. "And be killed by your fangirls…no way." She took the seat closest to him, but not right next to him.
Shikamaru walked by Naruto and stopped. "Why are you here? This is only for graduates."
Naruto pointed to her headband.
He nodded and moved on.
There were loud thumping noises coming from the hall. Naruto looked toward the door and saw Sakura and Ino fighting to get in. They both stepped in and shouted, "Goal!" Then they started to pant.
Sakura ran over to Naruto's row. "Ohayo, Sakura-chan," she said calmly.
"Move it Naruto!" Sakura pushed her out of the way. "Ohayo Sasuke-kun."
Sasuke looked at the pink-haired girl, but said nothing.
"Can I sit next to you?"
"I'm going to sit next to him."
"First come, first serve."
"I came into the room before you!"
"I did."
"If that's the case, I did!"
Naruto got up and stood next to Sasuke. "Congratulations, you just started another fangirl fight…Are you happy now?"
Sasuke stood up and looked at Naruto. They stared at each other for a long moment. The fangirls were yelling at Naruto. They were telling her to back off.
Then Sasuke did something nobody would have ever been able to predict. He kissed her! It wasn't even on the cheek, it was on the lips! "I am now," he said with an evil smirk on his face. He pointed to the now silent fangirls.
Naruto turned around. All of the girls were glaring at her.
"Naruto…you…"
"I didn't do anything…"
The fangirls cracked their knuckles. Naruto was lucky today. Iruka-sensei walked in right as they were going to beat the crap out of her. "Settle down. Everybody into your seats."
"Iruka-sensei! Thank god."
Everybody went to their seat without argument. Naruto could feel their cold stares. Sakura ended up sitting next to Sasuke with Ino sitting behind her.
"Starting today, you are all official shinobi, but…You are still new genins. It's only going to get harder from here. You will be put into groups of three, where you will go on missions under a jounin teacher."
I don't care who I am with, as long as it's not Sasuke-teme, Naruto thought.
"We've arranged the groups so that overall abilities are equal. I will now announce them."
Naruto wasn't paying attention until her name was called.
"Group seven. Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura,"
I can deal with that.
"And Uchiha Sasuke."
No way.
Sakura turned around and gave the peace sign to Ino, basically saying, "I win."
"That's it for the groups."
"Iruka-sensei! Why am I grouped with a guy like that?"
"Sasuke graduated with the highest scores. You got the lowest. You cancel each other out."
"Don't worry; I'll take care of you, dobe."
"You are all dismissed for lunch."
"Sasuke-kun," Sakura shouted.
"Sakura-chan. We should have lunch together."
"No way, Naruto."
"Why?"
"You're annoying," she said bluntly.
Just stab me why don't ya, Naruto thought. If she said yes…
"Dobe. Let's go."
"Hai, Sasuke-sama."
They walked back to Naruto's apartment. Sasuke looked into Naruto's cabinets for lunch. "Don't you have anything besides ramen?"
"Open the bento on the counter, genius."
"I thought that was yours," he said picking up the bento.
"I lost my appetite." Naruto collapsed face down on her bed.
Sasuke took a riceball out of the bento. He sat on Naruto and leaned against the window seal.
"Sasuke-sama. You're not what I would call a light-weight."
"Hn."
"Sasuke-sama, could you be nicer to Sakura-chan?"
"Why would I do that?"
"Because she is our teammate."
"I don't want to."
Naruto glared at him. "Why not?!"
Sasuke jumped off of Naruto and walked to the door. "I'll be back soon Naruto-chan. Don't go anywhere."
"At least answer my question."
"I don't want to give anyone fake feelings." He slammed the door shut when he left.
"And yet, you have no problems kissing me…Stupid Teme." He should at least be a little nicer to Sakura-chan. I have an idea.
Sakura was sitting on a bench near the school. She looked up and saw Sasuke. She looked away for a minute, blushed and let out a sigh.
"You have a charming, wide forehead," he began.
"Eh?"
"It makes me want to kiss it. Just kidding. That's something only an idiot would say. I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it, Sasuke-kun?"
"What do you think of Naruto-chan?"
"She's the type of girl who likes to mess with my love. She has fun when I am in trouble. Naruto doesn't know anything about me. She's annoying. I just want to be accepted by you?"
"You just want me to accept you?"
"I'll do anything…" Sakura moved closer to Sasuke. She was leaning in to kiss him.
*~Naruto's Apartment~*
"That dobe," Sasuke hissed. "I told her not to go anywhere. I hope she's not doing anything stupid."
*~Back to Sakura~*
"I'm desperate."
What do I do, Naruto panicked. I hate to say this, but Sasuke might be right. Naruto grabbed her stomach and jolted up.
"What's wrong?"
"I'll see you in class," 'Sasuke' yelled as he ran to the nearest bathroom.
"Sasuke-kun is such a shy guy. I'll wait for him here."
"Barely made it," Naruto said as she sat down on the toilet. "Sakura-chan…doesn't seem to think very highly of me," she said sadly.
Sakura stood up when she saw Sasuke walking toward her. "Sasuke-kun, you're such a shy guy! I waited for you, so let's go to class together."
Sasuke walked right past her.
"Wait."
"Where's Naruto-chan?"
"Forget about Naruto. All she does is cling to you. It's probably because she wasn't raised properly. You know she doesn't have parents, right?"
Sasuke gave her a cold look.
"She's always doing selfish things. My parents would scold me if I did such things. If you're alone, you're parents wouldn't get mad at you. That's why she's so selfish."
"Alone."
"Huh?"
"You can't even compare it to your parents getting mad at you."
"What's the matter?"
"You're annoying." Sasuke walked into the building just as Naruto was running out.
"Sasuke-sama! W-What are you doing here?"
"I went back to your apartment, but you weren't there. I thought you might be doing something stupid. I was right. Why did you give Sakura false feeling on my behalf? After I said no, too. What were you thinking?"
"I just wanted out team to get along, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen." Naruto brushed past Sasuke.
"Dobe…"
Sakura was sitting on the bench again. She was talking to herself. "Maybe I should be nicer to Naruto-chan starting now."
Naruto walked up to Sakura with a sad look in her eyes.
Sakura stood up when she saw Naruto. "Naruto-chan, let's go to class together!"
"Really, Sakura-chan?"
"Yeah. Come on. Sasuke-kun already went ahead so we have to hurry."
"All right." Naruto rushed to Sakura's side and they walked back to the classroom.
A/N: It looks like Naruto and Sakura are friends now. I wonder if it will last. JK. I know what will happen. You don't, so you have to read more. And while you're at it, leave a review, please!
