Chicky POV (cue glare directed to author/Tenten)
School was almost over. The two new girls, Sakura and Tenten, have definitely impacted this school. Sakura insulted Karin in Biology, just before I spilled vinegar all over her. Accidently on purpose. That left Sakura in a fit of melodic gigging for the remainder of the class; Fujaku couldn't change and absolutely reeked of the stuff until next class. During Study Hall, Sakura and I were talking; she was telling more of her past.
"I don't remember what happened, I was too young to recall. When I was five, I asked one of the people at the orphanage, 'What happened to Mommy and Daddy?'" She quoted herself, grimacing. "They just told me that they died when I was young." She looked down. "A year later, someone planned to adopt me and was asking about my history. They didn't know that I was listening behind the door; I was supposed to be playing with the other orphans. But I wasn't. 'We found her by herself at the doorstep of the orphanage. Her parents left her.' they said. I spent most of my life at the orphanage, alone and quiet. But when I met Tenten, things changed." A small smile appeared at this. "We immediately clicked, I don't even know why. Her parents…died and I wasn't even sure if I had any. By seeing someone in a worse situation than I was, I wanted her to be happy again. For five years up until now, we are inseparable. I don't think she's as happy as she could be, but she's better." She nodded.
"Wha-" My inquiry was interrupted when Hyuuga jumped out of his seat, fingers curled as if ready to choke Uzumaki. Before he could, Tenten jumped and grabbed him by the shoulders, surprisingly able to pull him back into his seat. He was still glaring at Uzumaki when he caught sight at Tenten laughing silently. His expression softened to a confused look at the girl. Once she whispered to him something, his expression went blank.
"Well, it looks like Neji can help in that department." She stated, grinning.
Now I was the confused one. "What do you mean by that?"
"Sasuke, can't you see? They're clicking." She smiled. "And here she was worried about me…" She trailed off.
"Why would she be worried about you?"
"Huh?" She must of realized what sipped out and blushed. "Oh n-nothing." She stuttered.
"Would this happen to have anything to do with that cryptic conversation you to had at lunch?" I asked.
Her blush deepened, giving me the answer. Yes, yes it does. "N-no." She denied nervously, her voice raising an octave. "Not at all." She waved back and forth.
"Hn. Who is this mystery man that you rated an eleven?" I pressed, not letting up until I got an answer.
"I don't know to whom you are referring to." She said.
"So who is this Sai character?"
"My ex boyfriend." She answered, her blush vanishing. "He cheated to me with some whore and when I told Tenten, she gave him black eye with his black eyes." She explained shrugging.
"You still love him?"…Why am I asking her about her social life?
She looked at me for a second before answering, jade eyes thoughtful. "No. I let him go the moment I saw him with her. I don't think I ever loved him, just blind. Tenten, of course predicted this but left it to me to discover for myself. She didn't even say 'I told you so.'." she continued. "She is really mature for her age. Like I'm best friends with my mom or something, it's kind of sad."
"And you?"
"I'm…as mature as I should be." She nodded.
"Hn."
"Really, what is with you too and that word? If you could call it that."
I shrugged. "Nothing at all, just a word."
"Okay." She said. She took out a piece of paper and began to write the essay that was due Thursday. (A/N: btw, it's Tuesday in the story) Hn. Besides attractive she is smart too.
Whoa. Did I just say that she was attractive?
No, you just said that she was ugly. A new voice said sarcastically. Of-fucking- course you said that genius!It yelled
…Who are you?
Your emotions, silly! The thing you so very cleverly suppressed all these years. Until now. It said mischievously.
Damn, I thought I got rid of you.
Oh you can NEVER get rid of your emotions, Sasuke dear. But anyway back to you…is someone caring about Sakura-chan? It teased
…Don't call her that. That only reminds me of the dobe.
Don't change the subject. Answer my question! It ordered
…No I don't care about her. Why would I? I just met her.
But you called her attractive. You think she's pretty… My emotions cooed. Shudder.
Who wouldn't? As rare as green eyes and pink hair is among girls, it suits her perfectly. I admitted.
Yay! That's a step up from your regular self, at least.
My regular self? Explain.
Dark, gloomy, apathetic. Your basic emo with out the tions. It summed up.
Hn.
Not to mention one of few words. Sasu, is 'Hn' a real word?
…Think of it as a response. Like a grunt or something. And don't call me Sasu. It's weird.
It's not that weird. Weird would be me calling you Sasu-gay.
H- wait what? Why would you call me that?
Because it's weird, duh. And you're supposed to be the smart one. It shook its head.
… … We're the same person.
REALLY? I did not know that!
It was being sarcastic. Then why did you-
Because I was teasing you! Jeez, does everything require a logical explanation behind it? It asked exasperatedly.
For it to make sense, yes.
Ugh. You're boring. No wonder you need me. It muttered.
Hn. When I say that, genius?
You tell me Sasu, you tell me. And then my god forsaken emotions disappeared. For now. I knew it wasn't through with me; I didn't even give a real answer. Perhaps it was going back to dormancy so it could try and gather more evidence. That left me with my raw thoughts and her.
She was still reading, probably oblivious to the conversation that I just had in my head. Her eyelashes twitched as she went from line to line, word to word, her sea foam eyes absorbed in the story. What was she reading? Instead of asking properly, being the jerk I am, I swiftly snatched the book from her cream hands. Her head snapped up to look at me with an expression mixed with confusion, anger and surprise. "What did you do that for?" She hissed.
"Hn. Special A?" I asked incredulously. "I thought you were reading a book with actual words."
"Shut up, Sasuke. I can read what I want." She folded her arms and pouted, a light blush on her cheeks. Hn. She looks kind of cute when she does that.
Ha! It appeared out of nowhere.
Say something, bitch?
…
I didn't think so.
"But manga, are you serous, Sakura?" I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Shut up." She muttered, shoving me lightly, pout and blush still in place.
"And shoujo at that." I continued, enjoying her reactions. "You do seem like the romantic type though." I said honestly.
"And you seem like the emo type."
"So I've been told." I said, chuckling. What's so special about shoujo anyway?"
"Why, you like shonen?"
"I don't read comics, sorry." I smirked.
"You're boring, Sasuke. Do you listen to music?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Any American bands?"
"Staind, Slipknot, In Flames. Around that area." I listed off the top of my head.
"…Okay." She couldn't do anything with that. "So basically moody and semi-destructive?" Maybe she could,
" Sure."
She giggled. "Guess I'm not the only predictable one."
"Hn." I looked at nothing.
"Sasuke, stop that." She whined. "I'm beginning to hate that word." She pouted even more, if possible. Dammit.
"…Like I care." I said nonchalantly.
Oh, you so care. It didn't believe me, apparently.
Leave me alone.
Face, Sasu, you have no control over me. I can come and go as I please. MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! My emotions laughed mechanically.
Do you have M.P.D.? (A/N: Multiple Personality Disorder)
No. It seem confused.
…You sure?
Positive.
Hn.
"You can think of another word?" She asked.
"Aa." I gave her one.
She frowned. "Jerk."
"Thank you." I grinned.
"It wasn't mean to be-" She was interrupted.
"But I took it that way. Sarcasm, Sakura, Sarcasm." I said close to her ear. We are sitting right next to each other. Her blush deepened until it almost matched her hair.
"I hate you." She narrowed her eyes at me.
"And I'm hurt." I said sarcastically. "Really." She shoved me again, trying hard not to smile.
"Do you do this to other girls?" She asked.
"No." Most of the girls in here are to busy squealing to even have a substantial conversation with.
"Then…what makes me so special?" She muttered, looking down.
"Well, other than that hair and those eyes…" She hit me mildly on the shoulder at this. "I don't know."
She lookd at me in disbelief. "You don't know? Wow, I never thought Sasuke Uchiha would ever experience ignorance. No, not at all."
"Are you being sarcastic?" I asked rhetorically.
"Tenten has rubbed off me." she explained, grinning.
"Hn." I glanced at the clock. Damn. School was almost over.
Since when did you like school? It scoffed.
…
Oh, that's right. When SAKURA came into the equation. It answered, smiling.
…
Answer me dammit!
No way, this is much to fun torturing you.
HA! You answered! It pointed at me.
What was your question in the first place?
I don't know. It shrugged.
Then the bell rang. Sakura smiled at me. "See you tomorrow." She packed up her stuff and left with Tenten and the other girls. "Bye Vicky, bye Chicky!" The girl called, grinning at the glares we sent her way. Naruto and Shikamaru soon left. That left me with. Hyuuga. We nodded at each other and walked out.
"Today was odd." Hyuuga stated.
"Well, it certainly wasn't normal." I said, running my fingers through my hair.
"Those two are certainly something else."
"Hn. Like you would know about Sakura. You were with Tenten the whole day." "Vice versa with you, genius." Hyuuga smirked. "Don't insult me if you don't expect an insult back."
"Hn. You leaving?" I asked.
"Yeah, race you to the apartment?" he offered.
"Hn." If you think that we live together, clearly you are on something; that's just weird. We live in the same apartment complex. (Please, like that's any different,) My family died in this big fire when I was little and I stayed with Itachi until I was old enough to move on my own. Hyuuga on the other hand voluntarily moved out of his family's household. He hasn't been the same ever since his father died and staying there just made him feel worse. We decided to live across each other in duplexes near the city line between Konoha and Tokyo.
Outside in the parking lot we hopped into our cars. I may not be a people person but touch my car…and you die. Hyuuga could say the same for his. Just because my family died doesn't mean they didn't leave me and my brother with a shitload of money. Just because Hyuuga basically emancipated himself form his doesn't mean that he still doesn't get allowance consisting of 100,000 ¥ a week. (A/N: Relax that's only…about 1,100 U.S dollars.) And my uncle Madara was running Uchiha Corp. now in place of my father.
Translation: we are rich, free to buy whatever the hell we like.
Which brings me back to our cars.
I fancied myself in the Black 2009 USD Mallet Corvette Z03. Aerodynamic, fluid in style, black tires with red lining, it even had two windows to view the GM LS7 engine with a 999 hp twin turbo conversion. (A/N: Don't ask me what that all means, I have no clue.) This is why no one, nothing (yes pigeons, I'm talking to you) touches (or shits on) MY CAR without my consent.
Hyuuga on the other hand went with a Silver 2003 Cadillac Cien concept. Classic, sophisticated, based off an F-22 Stealth fighter aircraft with blue-tinted glass, loaded with the latest technology- Night Vision, OnStar, StabiliTrak, Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist and Communiport- Hyuuga went all-out with this one. Just like me, he will death glare anyone that even breathes on HIS CAR.
Back to the present, I am currently tied with the Hyuuga at the moment in our little race. Luckily for us, the roads are nearly empty, otherwise our driving would attract some unwanted attention. We quickly arrived at the apartment complex, Heavenly Blossom Gardens (don't ask about the fruity name) (A/N: Because I'll tell you- "Ten" means heavenly and blossoms can be associated with Sakura…see what I did there? Sasugay thinks its lame because he doesn't know that I'm going to pair him with Sakura and Hugo with Tenten. Behold my master plan…) tied once more. We went in our separate duplexes on the third floor. My place had windows…not that I used them; they were usually draped with navy and black silk curtains. My carpet: dark grey. Appliances: stainless steel. Furniture: black leather. Lighting: compact fluorescents. Painting/Tile: black or blue.
My Kami, dude, what did the rainbow ever do to you? It sighed in disappointment.
Nothing.
You sure? Cuz I can't see a millimeter of any color other than black, blue, gray, dismal, gloomy, emo, Goth, depressing, dark…need I go on? It listed.
…Those aren't colors.
They will be the way you use them. Jeez, I feel sad just by looking at this. It folded its arms.
…Will it make you go away?
Ha ha, very funny. It mimicked. But no, you can't click your ruby red heels three times and wish me away.
Shame, I was about to fetch them out of my closet.
Sarcasm! There you go, Sasu. That's a step forward in the right direction. It cheered.
Hn.
And three steps back. It sighed, swinging its arms in defeat.
Hn.
I almost want to give up on you.
Aa.
Buuuuuuuut, then I remember that pink and green ray of hope- and then I don't feel soooo baaaaaad! (A/N: That was supposed to sound like that song in The Sound of Music)
H- wait, huh?
Sasu, you are the dumbest smart person I've ever met. It smacked its face with its hand.
And you're the dumbest dumb thing I've ever had the displeasure to meet.
Jerk. You're so mean. It pouted. And redundant.
Does it really look like I give a rat's ass?
Apparently not. But you still can't figure out what I mean? PINK and GREEN… It trailed off.
I am aware.
Good. So you realize how ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL she is for you? It was too excited about this.
Hn.
I'll take that as a yes. But look at it this way: she's a positive person and you're a negative person. She's a pocket full of sunshine and you are a black abyss. With the theory that opposites attract, you two are perfect for each other. It said triumphantly.
It's just a theory, remember?
I don't know why you are so reluctant towards this. You like her.
I do not.
Yeah yeah. It waved me off. Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Not having to deal with you.
Again with the jokes, Sasu.
"Stop calling me that!" I yelled out loud in exasperation. I grabbed a fistful of my hair. (A/N: During all of this, Sasugay decided to eat, take a shower, do his homework and now he's in his bedroom, getting ready for bed. NO, I will not describe him (or anyone else) dressing, undressing, and showering none of that in full detail. Let me remind you that this is a T rated story. None of that.)
Calm down, Sasugay. Jeez. I'll stop messing with you. For now.
Whatever. Just leave me the hell alone.
No response. Good. I lay down on my bed, looking up at black nothingness. I'll admit this much- Sakura is special and I may have been acting a little out of character with her. I couldn't really help it; I felt compelled to talk to her, and I hardly ever talk. I covered my eyes with my hand. This girl was getting to me. First day and I was already become attracted to her. Shit.
But who could blame me, she's attractive. Her voice, her nature, her physical attributes. (Not that I was looking) But it was more than that. She was a cheerful person but not naïve; she was aware of her actions but still moved through life with a smile on her face. That wonderful smile. Despite of her past, she refuses to let that ruin her future. She is so odd, so charming.
… I am in some deep shit.
Sooooooo...... yeah...um...hi? Don't hurt me, okay? So I didn't update in about 3 weeks- I have a good excuse. I was in a play, okay? And our practices for the last two weeks have been rigorous. In fact, last week was dubbed 'Hell Week' among us. But it was fun- I went to school without GOING TO SCHOOL. No classes, we just hung out and did 3 shows last friday. I'm sad it's over, but at least I have lacross coming up in March. Anywhoo, I need you to VOTE. Apparently 'telling me what you think' didn't get as much attention. So VOTE- I won't update until I do:
Next Chapter POV:
a: Neji
b: Tenten
c: Sasuke again. (Don't worry, I'll do Sakura's in due time)
If I don't get a clear vote or a tie, I'll leave it to my own devices
Btw, Happy Birthday Rukia! 1-14-10 Happy Birthday Yamamoto! 1-21-10
