CHAPTER 4- A little demon called hate... Oh, and a broken heart.


I had hated her from the moment that I met her.

It was the first day of highschool, and she was in our homeroom. She had come over with a giggly blush, short pink hair pulled back by a headband and smiled at me. I saw your reaction immediately and I had thought, 'No!' Your eyes were glazed over with a look that I had only seen in old love movies, and you cheeks were as red as the girl. "Hi, I'm Sakura Haruno!" She said cheerily and even though she never said it, I knew that introduction was directed to me. Already I felt annoyed. I felt annoyed that you were intrigued by a girl who had absolutely no interest in you. And I felt annoyed that she had bothered me in the first place. I couldn't find my voice to speak for it was hidden away somewhere deep in my body. So you answered for me. "Hey! I'm Naruto and that's Sasuke." You chirped up, returning the bright smile. The girl nodded, emerald eyes looking at the ceiling deep in thought. "So… I'll see you two later?" She asked, winking at me. I tried to hide a scowl but it surfaced anyways. And from that moment on, I knew that high school was going to be a very painful time for me. I watched as you tried to talk to her as much as possible always grinning, and she tried to drag me into all of the conversations. And how she always followed us around, so that we never had quality time together. And then you stopped hanging out with me all together. You never waited by my locker, or sat with me in class. You were with her all the time. That witch. So I tried to get a grasp of myself, and find another group to hang out with. And then came the last phone call. So I hung around with this red head named Gaara mostly. But of course, Sakura was always asking where I was. And I pretended not to notice that you always lied about me, saying I had band, or was absent. I remember that I had called you, wondering if I could come over. "It's me." I had said, my usual greeting for when we conversed over the phone. "…Hey." You had replied. I never thought much about the pause at the time. "Want to come over? Maybe we could kick a ball around? We haven't done that in a while…" I found that my voice was pleading, against my free will. "Sakura's over. I can't." You said simply. Even though I didn't like Sakura much, I thought that I would at least give it a try, "…Maybe I could come over then?" I asked hopefully. We hadn't seen each other very much the last week or so. But I never knew that you would explode. "…No. It's always about you! You don't know how I feel! You don't even like her! All you do is steal her away from me!" You screeched through the phone. We both remained silent for a while, "…Sasuke, I just want to hang out alone with her, is all. Maybe some other time." You said after a while, as if you hadn't just yelled at me. "Yeah, maybe some other time." I found my voice weak this time. I realized how weak I sounded, as if I might break. "Sasuke, try to understand how I feel-" I hung up on you. You had made no attempt to apologize. After that, I began to just go to my room after I came home, curling up on my bed. I would stare at the phone or at the wall, hoping that you would call. We made no attempt to speak to each other at school. To think that a girl would come between us. You broke my heart, dobe. But I missed you.

I missed my Kochou.
