I DON'T OWN NARUTO! TT~TT
What Sasuke Taught Me About Love, Life and Tomatoes
Chapter 4
It's finally time to update this story! Yes, after weeks of waiting, I'm finally putting up chapter 4! Also, I'm going on vacation and I told myself I'd update all of my stories, so chapter 11 of Secret Boyfriend will be up today too... Also, the dance will be covered in chapter 5. Sorry, but I have to keep you guys coming back somehow, don't I?
Anyway! Recap of chapter 3! And thanks to Ayukazi With Kitty for pointing out that Sakura is rank 35, not 53. (I have memory problems...)
"So I told Ino and Karin what you thought of them. They're kinda mad."
"And nobody knows we're going to the dance together?"
"Nobody. Just me and you." Sasuke smiled and the bell rang. He walked out with me before turning down the hallway to the boy's dorms. I went back home and collapsed, exhausted from training.
Before Class-
When I woke up the next morning, well, to be truthful, I probably wouldn't have woken up, had the smell of toast and bacon not made me arise from my dreams about being at home and just killing the Uchiha that came to my door asking for money. I walked out of my bedroom and found Ino, Hinata, Temari and Tenten in my kitchen. Tenten was mixing pancake batter, Temari was working bacon, Ino, flipping pancakes, and Hinata was setting my table.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY APARTMENT!"
"Well, anybody rank 10 and above gets keys to every key else's apartment, except for people above them," Tenten said happily. "Ino let us in because Hinata thought you'd be mad if we did this."
"T-Tenten, sh-she IS m-mad." Hinata stammered, her blue t-shirt donning the number 10.
"So Saku-chan, do you hate a date to the dance yet?" Tenten asked. Her shirt still had 14 on it.
"Umm, no. I think I'm just going to go single and meet you guys there." This is going to be a huge surprise for them... I thought with an inward smile.
"So who are you guys going with again?"
"I'm going with Naruto-kun, for popularity points of course, Hinata's going with Kiba-kun, to make Naruto jealous of course, Tenten's going with Shino-san, Karin's going with Suigetsu-san, I think... And Temari's going with Shikamaru-kun. You're the only one without a date! Even Neji-kun, Lee-san, and Sai-kun! Well actually, not Sai-kun, he's not even going... But still! You need a date!" Ino yelled, smacking the pan down on the stovetop.
"Fine, I have a date, but I'm meeting him there and he's a secret, so none of you know about him." I said as fast as I could. Ino's face lit up.
"Really?! Who asked you?!"
"I already told you, it's a secret." The blonde frowned.
"Why can't you tell us?"
"Because he told me I can't."
"You're such a stick in the mud! Well, if you won't tell me, everybody in this place except Naruto obeys me, so I'll find out from them. I AM the highest ranked girl in this place!" She turned back to the stove and said,
"Pancakes are done!" She turned off the burner and picked up the pan, scraping the pancakes off with a spatula.
"They smell good." I said, inhaling deeply.
"I used herbs and seasonings from my garden."
"Are you giving me a lesson at seven thirty in the morning?" The girl smiled and said,
"Why? Can you smell what I used?" I inhaled again.
"Lemon, vanilla, Rosemary?"
"And a pinch of mint leaves!"
"Ah." I said, nodding. Ino set down her plate next to Temari's. The smells of bacon and pancakes were amazing.
"So Sakura-chan, d-do you th-think you're g-going to try to fight Sadao-san? H-he's pretty tough." Hinata asked quietly, cutting up her pancake with a fork.
"He looks like a wimp to me." I said before eating more bacon.
"Well, his jutsu skills are really good, so make sure you have enough bunshin." Temari said.
"He used to be number 2 and I remember when I kicked his ass it totally broke his spirit and now, he might just let you win." Ino added while pouring syrup all over pancakes.
"Bacon pancakes, makin' bacon pancakes, take some bacon and I put it in a pancake! Makin' pancakes bacon pancaaaaaaaaaakkesss!" Tenten screamed from the stove.
"SHUT UP!" Hinata screamed. We all jumped.
"S-sorry." Tenten said, turning to face the stove again. The burner clicked off and she set down a plate of pancakes with bacon bits in it.
"Those look good Tenten." Temari said, pointing at the plate with her fork.
"Thanks! They're my favorite!" Tenten said happily, completely forgetting about being yelled at.
"W-well what w-was th-that annoying s-song?" Hinata spoke up, her stammer coming back from when it was gone.
"That was from Adventure Time."
"That's such a childish show. Of course you would watch it." Ino muttered.
"What was that, you dumb blonde whore?!"
"Well, it's about time I fought somebody! I might be getting a little rusty!" Ino screamed back and Tenten.
"CUT IT OUT!" I screamed, standing up.
"You two are NOT going to destroy my apartment. I might still be and under 20, but this is MY home and I can still kick YOU out." I said bitterly, my eyes catching a glimpse of the 35 on the bottom of my shirt. Ino sat down quietly and Temari grabbed Tenten's shoulder, pulling her down.
"So Sakura, what does your dress look like?" Temari asked, trying to divert the conversation from bacon pancakes and blonde whores.
"It's pink, strapless and have a sweetheart neckline. It's really pretty." I said, gulping down some orange juice.
"Are you guys done yet? Unlike you, I don't teach, so I have to be somewhere in ten minutes!" I said, grabbing all empty plates and cups and shoving them in my dishwasher.
"Fine. Let's go." Ino said, taking one last sip of her coffee. Tenten ate the last of her bacon pancakes and Hinata finished some bacon. Temari helped me put the plates and cups in the dishwasher, saying,
"I did this all the time for Gaara and Kankuro, I guess I still have motherly instincts." Her smile even seemed to remind me of my mother's.
"Well, thanks anyway."
Lunch-
My morning classes seemed to drag on and on. Taijutsu went on FOREVER, because it was a class with Lee, not Lea, and he had shown me how to open the eight chakra gates and could barely get the second one open, much less the third. Lunch made me happy, because I was getting closer to the dance and dancing with Sasuke. He really is a nice kid. He's not JUST hot. Naruto and company walked over to me and I said,
"Hi Naruto-san!"
"Hi Sakura-chan! I have somebody I want you to meet." Naruto pushed a kid towards me.
"Who's this?"
"That's Sadao-san, rank 20."
"Oh! Hello!" The boy in front of me looked about fourteen, and had dark brown hair and thick-rimmed glasses. His jersey-style t-shirt had Yamaguchi over the number 20 on the back.
"It's nice too meet you, 35. I look forward to fighting you." His voice was calm, and composed. He didn't seem to blink, either. It creeped me out.
"Well, I have to go. Bye Naruto-san!" I said, walking off to the table of girls waiting for me.
"So, Sakura-chan, does Sadao-san creep you out as much as he creeps us out?" Tenten asked.
"Absolutely! He doesn't fucking blink!" I said, trying not to yell.
"We thought so." Karin said, stabbing her salad with a fork.
"Hey Sakura, how 'bout you hang with me, Hinata and Karin at my place durning free hour! Bring your dress! We can compare!" Tenten said happily.
"I have bacon pancakes!" I sighed.
"Sure, why not. Let's go right now!" Tenten and I stood up, followed by Hinata and Karin. The four of us threw away the remnants of our lunches and walked out to the girls dorms. My eyes trailed the hallway looking for Sasuke, but he wasn't there. I sighed and Karin asked,
"What's the matter?"
"It's nothing."
"A-are you sure?" Hinata said quietly.
"I'm sure."
Free Hour-
At the dorms, we each pulled out our dresses form our own dorms and ran into Tenten's dorm.
"Here's my dress!" The said, pulling it out of the bag. It was white, with cream and pink
accents. There was one strap and it went down to about her mid-shins.
"This one's mine!" Karin said, pulling out a blood red dress with small heart designs in a few places in rhinestones.
"Th-this ones mine." It was beautiful. It dipped down in the back and went to her mid thighs. It was lavender and had sparkles lightly sprinkled all over it.
"Wow, Hinata," Karin said with a snicker. "You'd better be careful or Kiba's going to get his nosebleed all over your pretty dress." I giggled as Hinata's face went cherry red.
"I'm kidding!" Maybe. She thought.
"So, this is my dress." I held up the sakura pink dress.
"It's pretty."
"It'll look great on you!"
"Are you going to have tissue paper in your bra? Because that dress is NOT fit for a flat-chest like yours." Karin said, crossing her arms.
"Shut up, Sasuke-whore."
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!"
"You heard me."
"Tenten, I'm going to kill her."
"That's awesome! You'd bump me up to 17 after I kick your ass!" Karin's face went red with fury and she charged at me. My gloved fist impacted with her face.
"Ow!" She screamed, kicking my shin. I punched her again, this time in the stomach and she slumped over. A 17 appeared over my 35 and Karin's shirt changed to 18.
"Thanks, Karin!" I said, happily skipping out of Tenten's apartment and back to mine.
I opened the door and I saw Sasuke standing at my fridge with a Dr. Pepper and a chicken sandwich.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Oh, hey Sakura. Hey! Did you fight Karin?"
"Yeah. I called her a Sasuke-whore and she kinda lost it."
"Well, now I can't call you an under-twenty."
"You never did."
"Oh. Gomen, that was everybody else." I rolled my eyes and put my dress back in my closet.
"So Sakura, you should wear some shorts under your dress. And bring your fighting gloves and a shirt to change into."
"Why?"
"In case you get to fight somebody, duh!"
"Oh, right. Well, I should probably go. It's time for fighting."
"Alright. See you later. Oh, and guess what?!"
"What?"
"My father let me enter the competition!"
"Really?! What rank are you?!"
"20." He said, unzipping his Uchiha hoodie and showing me the number.
"But I have to wear this stupid thing so people don't know." He grumbled, pulling his sweatshirt down.
"That's still awesome that you get to be in it!"
"Yeah, I guess." I walked over to my door and said,
"You can either go out the window, or I can push you out the door and let you get eaten by fangirls." He gulped and walked to the window.
"That's what I thought." He climbed out on the ledge and said,
"By the way, we're learning Teleportation jutsu's today."
"Thanks Sasuke! See you later!" I said, closing the window as he disappeared.
Seventh Hour-
Karin was still furious at me for calling her a Sasuke-whore, but Ino didn't seem to notice.
"Alright Sakura! You can either get in the chair like a good girl or the guys can- hey! You're rank seventeen! Awesome! Karin wouldn't tell me who beat her up, but I'm glad it's you." I smiled.
"Thanks Ino." I said before climbing into the chair.
"Can you make me black out again?" Ino clapped and Sai came down and grabbed my shoulder.
When I woke up, Ino pulled a needle out of my arm and said,
"That's the last one for today. We got about 58 done today!"
"That's... great?"
"Yeah, it is! You only need 274 more before your skin is just like Karin's!"
"Hooray." I said, waving my hand in the air sarcastically. The bell rang and I walked outside, rubbing my arm.
Eighth Hour-
Sasuke came up to me in the hallway, did a series of hand movements and we both disappeared.
"Whoa! What just happened?!"
"That's what we'll be covering today. Teleportation jutsu's."
"Awesome!"
"Now, all you have to do is clasp you hands together and form the following signs..." It took s little less then ten minutes for me to understand and preform the jutsu.
"Now, if you use these signs, it works even better..." Fifteen minutes.
"Now, this is the final level of Teleportation jutsu's." The last one took me almost forty minutes.
"Alright! You're good at this, Sakura."
"Arigato Gozimasu!" I said with a small bow.
"No need to get into formalities."
"So, I'll see you at the dance?"
"Make sure you bring shorts and a shirt you can change into if you need to fight." He called as the bell rang. He appeared in front of me and said,
"I'll walk you to your dorm, 17." I smiled.
"Thank you," My voice lowered to a whisper. "20."
And here's the end! The dance will be the entirety of chapter 5, so be on the lookout for that soon!
