swrawkacB... um, oh dear, haha, I mean backwards
Her pink brows furrowed on her forehead, causing wrinkles to mar her usually perfectly smooth porcelain face. "What?" her voice was small and shaking.
Sasuke looked down at the ground again. "I-i got these flowers for you." He repeated. He felt warmth creep up his neck and he cursed himself inwardly.
The crystal tears ran silently over her cheeks as she stood a little away from him, "Why?" she asked. She looked sad and broken, dejected like no one in the world cared about her. He knew that feeling better than anyone, like an old friend.
"What happened?" he asked her, stepping closer and holding the stupid roses out for her to take. She shakily took them into her hands and let her jade eyes rest on the deep red flowers. They reminded her of Sasuke's sharingan, the deep red of his eyes, like blood held in a glass.
She stayed silent as his now only onyx eyes stared down at her. He had gotten taller, she noticed to herself. She didn't really want to talk about it, she more of just wanted to run in the door a few yards away, fly up her stairs and collapse in her bed and cry till she had nothing left to let out. She then shook her pink head. "Nothing, I'm fine," she let a small smile fall on her lips.
'Maybe it'll be enough to get past him, he never cared before,' Sakura thought angrily to herself. 'Why would he start now?'
"I'm not blind Sakura," the girl's heart jumped a mile in her chest when she felt his hand against her face, vaguely somewhere in her mind it registered how warm and comforting the single gesture was.
She felt his thumb gently wipe a tear off from under her light eyelashes. "Tell me," he said it quietly to her.
His fingers then fell down to her chin and tilted her face up to look at him. She didn't want to look at him but he wouldn't let her look away. Tears built up quickly, faster than they had before and a wine escaped her lips, jade eyes shutting tightly. Tears leaking from the dam-like corners of her eyes.
Her arms went slack and the roses tipped down and fell to the ground below, she reached out unintentionally and wrapped her arms around his stomach, pulling him closer to her so she could cry into his chest.
The boy tensed slightly as the girl held onto him, but after he got over the initial shock he delicately placed his arms around her waist, holding her as she cried into his shirt. His heart was beating rapidly and unevenly in his chest. He wondered faintly if she could feel it.
They stood together for a few minutes as she cried. Neither speaking and they both felt like they were barely breathing. Both afraid if they breathed it would ruin the moment they were having.
Sakura was the one to finally break it. Loosening her arms from his body, she took a slight step back, leaning down to pick up the only lightly ruffled looking roses. "I'm sorry," she mumbled, though the boy in front of her was unsure who she was talking to.
"Naruto's dating Hinata now," her voice was soft, almost more so than that of the Hyuuga girl she had just spoke about.
"Hey," the blonde shouted, coming under the small over hang at Ichiraku's ramen shop.
"I didn't mean to," Naruto was saying, looking over at Hinata who sat to his right.
"I'm just saying you hurt her feelings N-naruto, you don't have to mean to, but you did." Hinata said, her pale eyes sat on Naruto's face, looking at him with a raised thin black eyebrow.
"I know, but I didn't mean to," the boy repeated again.
"Well you should apologize," Hinata said, quite out of character, challenging Naruto with her voice.
"Why?" the blond boy complained, lifting his chop sticks to his mouth with ramen sitting between the pieces of wood.
"Hey," Ino said again, trying to gain the couple's attention.
"Because its rude Naruto." the girl said standing up beside him. "It's rude to try and be with someone once and then just throw them aside." her small voice held no trace of a stutter as she lectured him.
"But I want to be with you," the boy said beside her, looking over at her through his bright blue eyes, "That's why I'm not with her."
"Well maybe you should have talked to her first," Hinata said, setting down money on the counter, she turned and walked away.
The remaining to blonds' jaws dropped, and Shikamaru simply stood with Ino by his side.
"What just happened?" Ino asked, looking startled as she stood there, dropping her gaze to Naruto. "What did you do?" she asked.
He turned at it was the first time she saw anger in his blue eyes. "I didn't do anything Ino, maybe if you didn't stick your nose in everyone else's business stuff like this wouldn't happen." He dropped his own money on the counter and left, following the small Hyuuga girl.
"He didn't eat all of his ramen," Shikamaru's voice was small as he stated the odd fact. He let his eyes then roam over to his girl who was standing with her face away from him. "Ino," he said softly.
"I'm going to go home okay?" her voice was thin, and he changed his position so he could her bright sky blue eyes glisten with water. "I'm not actually hungry, I-i'm just going to go home." she turned to walk away from him but he caught her wrist.
"Ino," he started but she pulled her arm away from him.
"Please Shika, I just want to go home," they stared at each other for a few moments, then the boy nodded, taking her hand in his and the girl looked at him confused.
"I'm not letting you walk there by yourself, let's go." and he put his other hand in his pocket as he started walking, the normally loudmouthed blonde followed quietly behind him, letting her eyes graze the ground as the walked back to her home.
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked, surprise leaked into the corners of his voice.
The two were sitting in Sakura's kitchen, sipping on tea she made a few minutes previous. "I mean what I said, Naruto's with Hinata now," the pink haired girl watched the green tea that she had her hands wrapped around for warmth.
"Hn." Sasuke said, also glancing down at his drink quickly, he wasn't used to making conversation with this girl, but he kicked himself mentally because he wished he could.
They sat in silence for some minutes until there was a knock at the door, Sakura stood and answered it, finding a petite black haired girl standing on her doorstep. "Hinata?" the girl asked quietly, "What are you doing here?"
"M-may I come in?" the girl asked, looking into Sakura's jade eyes with her milk colored white eyes.
The petal headed girl nodded and moved out of the doorway so the other Hyuuga girl could enter. Sakura lead her to the kitchen and Hinata was mildly surprised to see Sasuke sitting at the table, a large bouquet of blood red roses sat on the middle of the table, and their strong scent tickled her nose.
Sakura poured her a cup of tea as Hinata sat at the table. Sakura sat also and Hinata looked sad as she opened her small mouth. "I'm sorry," were the words that came out.
Sakura's eyebrows knitted, "What?" the girl asked.
"N-naruto and I talked yesterday, well Ino forced us to talk, but" she held Sakura's eyes as she spoke, "I didn't know you were interested in him, and I'm sorry I hurt our friendship by accepting his request to be his g-girlfriend." the normal blush leaked onto her cheeks as she said the last word. "I didn't mean to hurt you Sakura, I thought Naruto talked to you, or told you or something, I didn't know and I'm sorry."
The petal looked at the wooden table, 'Ino,' she thought "Hinata it's okay," she smiled weakly at her friend, "I'm fine okay? I'm glad the two of you are together now, he's too dense to see how much you really care for him, but I think you'll be good for him Hinata," she felt better as she spoke.
It was true in all honesty, she was happy for the blond, and the beautiful shy girl, but it was still like a kuni or shiriken to the stomach when she saw them earlier that day. It knocked all the wind out of her and threw her onto the hard ground. With no one there to help her up.
It just hurt that the person who wanted to have a chance with her threw her away all ready. After only one day of almost being together.
"It's fine Hinata, I'm honestly happy for you two," Sakura said and she cursed herself for the water that now pulled from her eyes.
"Sakura," the Hyuuga said in front of her, a small frown on her lips.
"No really," the pinkette said, "Where is he now?"
"I left him at Ichiraku's to come find you," she said now looking away from the jade eyed girl in front of her. "So I'm not sure, I-i'll probably have to go and apologize to him for getting upset with him too."
Sakura shook her head, "Naruto's forgiving, if you just explain to him he'll understand," Hinata nodded and added a small 'I know'.
Sasuke sat and watched as the two females talked together about Naruto and how his forgiveness was a good virtue. He let his eyes roam over the small room they were sitting in.
After a few more minutes, Hinata said she had to leave to find Naruto and Sakura showed her to the door once more and thanked her for coming and that she had nothing to worry about. The small Hyuuga girl turned and hugged her pink haired friend.
"Thank you Sak," she said, and after releasing her she started to back away, "Good luck with Sasuke," she waved and smiled at her.
