Suteneko: Thanks for the reviews everyone!
Sasuke: *ducks to avoid the kunai that was thrown*
WHAT WAS THAT?
Suteneko: A kunai?
Sasuke: Who threw it?
Suteneko: risen truth ruthless lies
Sasuke: Why?
Suteneko: *shrugs* Beats me...but probably because you're sooo unlikable...
Naruto: Suteneko does not own me!
When Naruto & Ino entered Sakura's room, they saw that Sakura was asleep. Naruto quietly went over to Sakura's bedside table and put the the flowers he brought in the empty vase that was there.
"It looks pretty in the vase." Ino commented.
"Yeah..."
Ino silently went over to Sakura's bed to look at her once-friend.
She looks peaceful…
Suddenly, Sakura opened her eyes, startling Ino.
"Sakura?"
Sakura didn't respond and that's when Ino noticed her eyes. They were cold and dead, sending a shiver down the girl's spine.
"Sakura-chan?"
Sakura turned her head to look at Naruto and Ino noticed that her eyes somehow had more life in them than before.
Is it because of Naruto?
Naruto smiled as he picked up a chair that was close to table and set it down in front of Sakura. He sat down on it and smiled at Sakura gain.
"How have you been Sakura-chan?"
Sakura didn't respond.
"Is the bed nice? Usually when I'm at the hospital the beds are always nice to sleep in. It's just that the hospital reeks of medicine & the food is tasteless which is the bad part."
Ino giggled and Naruto saw that Sakura's eyes lit up for a moment.
Looks like she's already showing signs of recovery already…
Suddenly the door opened and the blondes turned to see Rin coming in.
"Sorry kids, I have to give Sakura her breakfast now."
At the word breakfast, Ino's & Naruto's stomachs grumbled, making Rin laugh.
"You kids are hungry too huh? How about you head down to the cafeteria for some food?"
Ino shook her head, "Thanks Rin-san but I rather go and eat elsewhere."
"Why?"
"Because the hospital food is tasteless." Naruto told her bluntly.
Rin sweatdropped, "Ah well, it's always been like that…."
"But you're head of the hospital now! Surely you could change that!" said Ino.
"Maybe in time" was all Rin could reply.
Naruto's stomach grumbled again, "Man, I'm hungry. Let's get going Ino-chan!"
Ino nodded and turned to were Sakura was. She looked a little sad. Naruto seeing this, quickly reacted.
"Don't worry Sakura-chan! We'll come back! And I promise to come by and visit you tomorrow too!"
Ino could have sworn she saw Sakura's eyes lit up again when she heard that.
Looks like Sakura is falling for Naruto too…
"Damn it Uchiha! Why are you wearing your civilian clothing?" Neji angrily whispered at the obsidian eyed girl next to him.
"Because all my ninja clothes are at the tailor's! I had to have my clan symbol sewn on my tops!"
The reason why Neji was so frustrated was that Sasuke was attracting a lot of attention from the villagers. He could hear the villagers whispering about them. Neji turned his head to glance at the girl next to him. Sasuke was dressed in a three-quarter sleeve dark blue top, dark wash flared jeans and black sandals. Around her neck, Sasuke wore an Uchiha symbol on a silver chain, it was a necklace that once belonged to her mother. She had left her hair down, showing off how straight, silky and shiny her hair was to the world. On her left hand, she wore a black and silver watch to finish off the look.
Neji inwardly sighed, he had to admit that the Uchiha was attractive, heck, even more attractive than he was when he was a male! But he'd much rather die than date a troublesome person like her, besides he had Tenten.
"Well now that you're a girl, you're going to have to learn how to sew soon…" Neji reminded her.
Immediately an image of Naruto sewing her clothes for her from yesterday appeared in her mind.
Maybe I should get Naruto to teach me?
"Anyway Uchiha, where are we going?"
"The hospital"
"Why?"
"Because Sakura was admitted there yesterday and knowing the stupidly kind dobe, he would probably be there to visit her."
"I see"
It was silent between the them until Neji realized something, "Did you just…praise Naruto?"
"Huh? When?"
"You called him kind."
"I called him STUPIDLY kind."
"Kind is still praise."
Sasuke was about to argue back until she heard a familiar giggle. She turned her head back to the front and saw Yamanaka Ino talking to some guy next to her. She was wearing a purple tank top, a stonewashed jean skirt and purple sandals. On her left hand, she wore a set of purple bangles.
She really likes the color purple…
The guy next to her had an orange T-shirt, raw denim jeans and orange sneakers. From a distance, he looked hot.
Wait…what?
Then the guy laughed, making Sasuke freeze.
Naruto?
"So Naruto is on a date with the Yamanaka? Hmm…that means I don't have to worry anymore…"
But the word 'date' triggered Sasuke's Sharingan to flare. Then, Naruto looked up and saw Sasuke with Neji.
"Yo Sasuke! Neji!"
Sasuke frowned, her red Sharingan eyes turning back to its usual obsidian-onyx as the two blondes made their way towards her and Neji
Naruto grinned, "So what are you two doing? On a date hmm? I don't think Tenten would let you off for cheating on her with Sasuke behind her back Neji."
Neji rolled his eyes, "The Uchiha was helping me look for you. What about you? You seem more like you're the on a date."
Ino blushed but Naruto shook his head, "No, we just got back from visiting Sakura."
"Then why did Ino go with you?" Sasuke asked, finally speaking.
This time Ino spoke, "Because I wanted to see Sakura."
"I thought you two are rivals?" Sasuke asked.
"We are. I just wanted to see how she was. What about you? Why didn't you see her? She IS your teammate."
"I was tired from yesterday. I DID just turn into a girl you know."
"But you do look better as one than a guy though"
Sasuke eyes twitched, "Say that again?"
"YOU look BETTER as a GIRL than you were a GUY."
Sasuke was about to retort but her stomach grumbled, making her turn red in the face and Naruto to chuckle.
"Looks like everyone skipped breakfast. How about we all have breakfast together?"
Neji shrugged, "Why not?"
Sasuke sighed, "I am hungry…"
"Great! By the way Neji, why was it that you and Sasuke were looking for me?"
"Well I wanted to warn you."
"Warn me what?"
"To stay away from Tenten."
Naruto's eyebrow rose, "Why?"
"Because you're spending too much time with her! And it doesn't help the fact that you eat all your meals at her place on the weekends!"
Naruto smirked, "Oh, you're jealous...Don't worry! I'm not interested in Tenten-chan in that way."
"I still want you to stay away."
"Why? If it's time, Tenten and I already made an agreement to only spar with each other only once every week instead of three times."
"And the weekends?"
"Remain the same; her dad's cooking is way too good to pass up."
Neji frowned and Naruto's smirk grew, "But you wouldn't know would you? Considering how her Dad actually likes me and how he hates your guts."
"He does NOT hate me."
"De~nial~" Naruto sing-songed.
Neji's Byagukan became active, "NARUTO!"
Naruto grinned and waved, "Catch me if you can Neji!"
Naruto sped off with Neji chasing after him. Sasuke shook her head, "Idiots…"
Ino smiled in agreement, "No kidding."
Suteneko: That was enjoyable. :D
Sasuke: *screams* MY HAIR TURNED PINK! HOW?
Suteneko: risen truth ruthless lies did that.
Sasuke: WHY? WHAT ON EARTH DID I DO TO HER?
Suteneko: *shrugs* She never told me
Sasuke: *starts weeping* My hair...my beautiful midnight hair!
Suteneko: That looks like a duck's ass...
Naruto: Please review!
