Hello again! Someone mentioned that Naruto seemed OOC. That he seemed more annoying as usual. Well...I don't exactly know how to fix that. I follow along fairly closely to the lines of the series. He may just seem more annoying because he becomes less annoying throughout the series (thank God for character progression). I apologize if you don't like the fact he is so annoying, however, I don't want to make him too OOC. If he's a little bit OOC, so be it. Again, I apologize, and I hope you will bear with me throughout the whole "unbelievably annoying faze' Naruto goes through.
Thank you if you read all that! . Well...On with the story!
I reluctantly opened my eyes. I was welcomed by the unwanted sunlight pouring through my window. I didn't want to get up. Hell I didn't even know...where...
The Hell...? I thought as I sat up in...Bed?
Flashback
Damn it! He isn't anywhere to be found! I sighed irritably. This was getting so unbelievable troublesome...
I was tired, hungry, and cold, only wearing the black tube top I usually wear under my red top, and a pair of black shorts, I didn't even have any shoes on! Damn it! Worst. Decision. Ever.
Why couldn't I find him? He wasn't anywhere to be found?! How big is this friggin' forest anyway?! Damn it all!
I rested against a tree. The sun had long since gone down, meaning; obviously, it had only gotten colder since I first left. My eyelids started to feel heavy. I forced my self up. Searched for about another...what? five minutes? Finding nothing but some birds, trees (no duh) and other various random shit I don't care about. I rested again.
End flashback
"I must've fallen asleep after I stopped to rest..." I murmured. "Damn it..." I forced myself out of bed, only receiving a shot of pain through my back. I groaned.
"That's what I get for falling asleep in the fucking forest..." I mumbled. When I tried to move, the pain shot through my back, yet again, and I let out another stream of curses.
"Such colorful Language you got there..." I heard someone say. I looked up. Tazuna was standing in the doorway.
"Yeah..." I mumbled quietly. "How did I..." Of course I didn't need to finish the question, he answered it anyway.
"The one with the attitude brought you back. Course, his Sensei told 'im to. Eh, details!" he exclaimed, smiling and rubbing the back of his head.
"Thank you..." I mumbled. He turned to leave. "Oh! Before you leave..." I began. He turned around to face me. "Give Uchi--err...Sasuke, my thanks."
"Shouldn't you do that?" He inquired, testily. I sighed. "Don't worry, I'll thank him." He stated. I smiled and nodded my head in silent thanks. My hair, recently having changed the parting the left side of my head, fell slightly in front of my right eye. He left and closed the door behind him. I lifted my hand and rested it on my torso. A green glow emitted from my hand.
I was slightly healed, my chakra not being what it used to be, didn't help too much. I sighed and stood up. At least I could move now.
Why did Sasuke bring me back...? I thought. Of course, Tazuna said Kakashi told him to find me...Dear God, I hope he didn't have to search too long for me.
I started to walk out of my room, after I had gotten dressed. My regular outfit wasn't to be found, so I was dressed in something different. I had a black spaghetti strap top, along with a blue Kunochi skirt, which went a little past mid-thigh. One of the straps on my tank top falls off of my right shoulder, and me, being to lazy to deal with it, let it stay like that. I had black skin tight shorts on that went to about mid-thigh. I had on blue ninja sandals, the cloth went up just past my knee, And long black fingerless gloves that went about three inches past my elbow. Silver netting covered my arms and legs, before the boots of the legs, but over the shorts. Also, the fishnet went over the gloves on my arms. Over all I kind of liked my new outfit.
Once again, while walking down the hall, I became lost in my thoughts. Man, If I were him and had to search the whole village and forest for me...well, to be blunt I'd be totally pissed. Better to not bother him today...Damn. Annoying Sasuke is the highlight of my day. Guess today's gonna be boring...Well then again Sasuke's a lot more...well...'I don't care about you. If you all died I would throw a party if it wasn't for the fact that it would be un-cool' kind of attitude. While I'm more like 'I'm nice and all but piss me off and I'll see you in hell buddy. And you better expect no one will come to your funeral because their all gonna die too.' kind of attitude. I wonder if Sasuke's any different when he comes back to Konoha (for the short two seconds he was here).
Let's see...
Old Sasuke:
Semi-cared about us
Seemed human enough
Ice cube
Meanie (at times)
Gotta admit he is hot
New Sasuke:
If we died he would come to our funeral solely to watch us be buried. Then he would dance on our graves if it wasn't for the fact it would be un-Sasuke-ish
Human? Pshaah. Yeah right, he's about as human as a vulture
Ice cube
Meanie (correction; bastard)
Yeah, he's still hot
...I think I prefer Old Sasuke...I'd kind of like people not to feel the urge to dance on my grave, you know? I mean--
Okay who the Hell'd I just collide with?!
I groaned as I rubbed my head. I opened my eyes to see none other than Sasuke himself! Yay (note the sarcasm)!
Tch. You totally adore him...
A voice in the back of my mind added. (A/N- no it's not an inner! You know that voice in your head that tells you your wrong whenever you lie? Well, yeah, that's what this is.)
I snapped out of my, 'trance' if you will, long enough to see Sasuke walking away.
"Sasuke!" I call after him. He stops but doesn't turn around. Bastard...
"Listen, I'm really sorry! I didn't want to make you do all that for me. I mean," I stopped talking to notice the confused look on his face. More like bored/confused/angry/whatever-else-there-is look on his face. Ugh, whatever.
"I, mean..." I repeat. "You know, for looking for me and bringing me back here..." I pointed out. He made a grunting noise, the oh so famous line of 'Hn.' before turning and leaving.
What.
The.
Hell.
"I just apologized to you and you ignore me?!" I yell. Knowing I was most likely speaking out of term, I mean, he has a right to be angry. But, man was I pissed. He turned around, a frown etched onto his Features. He was glaring at me! You would think he would at least be a little nicer than that!
"Oh, okay, and now you're glaring at me? God! I'm just trying to apologize, and this is what I get? Good God, man, what kind of world is this when I get punished for doing the right thing!" I glared a glare that almost matched his glare. Almost...When I concluded I wasn't going to get a response. I turned on my heal and walked down the hall, muttering a string of curses. I stopped turned around, to realize he was still glaring at me.
"Screw you, Uchiha." I hissed. That was about the time his normal 'I hate you' glare revolutionized into his 'I'm gonna make sure you die by my hands, you worthless piece of crap' glare. Once again, I turned and walked away.
Bastard! I though angrily. The nerve! He thinks I'm going to let myself be treated like this?! Well, little Emo needs to get an attitude adjustment because I don't bend that way!
I let out another string of curses before reaching the Kitchen and slamming the door behind me. I stormed out of the Front door. I ran into the forest. First I love him, then he leaves, he broke my heart. I left it bleeding in his hands and he crushed it! Now, I get a second chance, and I can't handle it!! To see him is to remember all the pain he brought me. I was near the middle of the forest. I dropped to my knees, threw back my head, and screamed.
...God it feels good to do that again...
The scream slowly broke into sobs, and as much as i hate to admit it, considering ninja's aren't suppost to show emotions...
...I cried...
Sasuke's P.o.v
Who the Hell does she think she is?
"Screw you, Uchiha" she said.
I glared harder. What was wrong with her? 'Screw you?' What the Hell? Uchiha, she called me Uchiha?
She was a fan girl just months ago...right?
She fled down the hallway. I began to follow her, but sopped...What was I doing? I was about to follow her? I whirled around and punched the nearest thing to me, which just so happened to be the wall. I could feel the wall cave in to the pressure of my fist colliding with its surface. I pulled it out. My knuckles were bloody and bruised. They ached, that was for sure. I put my uninjured hand to my forehead.
What is this girl doing to me...?
Sakura's P.o.v
We were all sitting at the kitchen table, eating our breakfast. Tsunami came flying through the doors, her face twisted into a look of anger.
"Who punched a hole in my wall?!" She demanded. Naruto wasn't even here, Kakashi wouldn't have done that I'm sure. I know I didn't do it, so that leaves...
...Oh damn it Sasuke...
"I did it..." I confessed. She was about to yell until I made an excuse. "I know there's no excuse for that, but I was...frustrated and I just punched the closest thing to me, and...I...I'll just fix that wall now..." I said. I was beginning to feel uncomfortable under Tsunami's glare, and Sasuke's bewildered look. I quickly pushed in my chair and walked out of the kitchen.
I found the hole...man; his fist must hurt a lot. I was expecting some kind of dent or something, not a hole almost twice the size of my hand. I shook my head, he really needs to learn how to control his anger.
I didn't really know how to fix a wall...Maybe I could...No...Why did I take the blame for this again?
...Whatever...
Maybe a healing jutsu would work... I thought. I found the part of the hole that he knocked in, in the wall. I brought it up to the place it's suppose to be, holding it in place. I brought up my other hand as a green glow emitted from it. I rested it against the wall.
...Well, looks like it worked! I smiled at my work. Who would've known healing jutsu's can heal walls!
Can't they heal anyone and anything...? a thought emerged from the back of my mind...Oh...Well, take away my pride. I frowned, but quickly got over my self pity. I stood up and turned around to go back to the kitchen, and guess who was behind me...
...Sasuke...
I looked down at his hands; sadly they were in his pockets.
"Let me see your hands..." I ordered looking him in the eye, he simply quirked an eyebrow. I sighed.
"C'mon, just hold out your hands like this..." I ordered putting out my hands palm facing down. This way I could see his knuckles.
"Why...?" He asked.
...Oh you have got to be kidding me...
I raised my eyebrows. "You're kidding right...?" I asked. Once again he quirked an eyebrow, and once again I sighed.
"I know you're the one, who punched a hole in the wall, now show me your hand."
If you already know it's me, why do you have to see my hands?" He inquired.
...Damn him and his logic...
"You punched a hole in the wall that would hurt. You need your hand to be treated." I said simply. I glared at me for a little bit, then turned and said.
"I don't need your help..." I scowled and grabbed his upper arm.
"Yeah, you do. /show me your hand." I ordered. But he simply objected.
"Damn it, Sasuke! This is my way of repaying you for taking me back here."
"You can repay me by leaving me alone..." He hissed.
"I. Can't. Do. That." I growled between gritted teeth.
"...And why not?"
"Because I don't want a teammate to be injured if we are in a battle, so give me you freaking hand and let me heal it! Damn it! Now!" I screeched, tugging his hand out of his pocket. I could see he had bandaged them himself. He seemed a little surprised by my outburst...
...either that or he was just to lazy to pull his hand back...
I sat down cross-legged...he didn't budge. I tugged on his arm. "Sit!" I ordered. He grunted, but followed my orders. My hand started to glow a green color as I placed it on his. When I was finished I removed the bandage.
"There, see? Good as new! Was that really so hard?" I asked him. He was flexing his hand.
"How did you..." he began.
"I'm just cool like that." I interrupted. He scowled. I smirked.
We were all back at the breakfast table.
"Naruto didn't come back last night..." Tazuna stated.
"Yeah, well, he's so hard headed he probably won't come back until he climbs a tree..." I stated.
"And yet you went after him anyway...?" Sasuke asked. I growled.
"Shut up Sasuke! Anyway, he might even be dead by now."
"Is Naruto-kun fine? A child staying out all night by himself..." Tsunami said.
"There's no need to worry. He is a decent ninja even if he doesn't look like one."
"I don't know about that. Maybe the idiot really is dead." He said as he left the table. "I'm going for a walk."
I raised an eyebrow. "But what about breakfast..." I looked towards his plate. "Good God..."
"Naruto!" I called out. No one answered. Kakashi and I were both looking for Naurto and Sasuke. I looked up in a tree, knowing he was there, but didn't say anything. As predicted, a kunai flew from the tree at our feet, revealing Naruto at the top.
"How do you like that? I can climb this high now!" He exclaimed. I smiled. He kumped to his feet, and instantly lost his balance.
"This isn't good..." Kakashi stated.
"No shit..." I mumbled. I choked back a scream...
He caught himself on the bottom of the branch.
"Not." He said. I twitched. "You fell for it!"
"Naruto, you little bastard! You better make sure you don't fall because when I get my hands on you I'll..." I trailed off when he actually started to fall. I rushed up there and caught him by his ankle.
"Naruto, you idiot!" I yelled, and soon realized...he was really heavy. "Naruto..." I grunted. I lost my footing and fell off the branch.
"Damn it..." I mumbled, getting ready to flip in the air to land on my feet. I felt an arm slip around my waist. I let out a small 'eep' of surprise when whoever it was stopped me from falling. I saw Sasuke.
"Damn it Sasuke..." I murmured.
"Idiots..." He said simply.
"Oh please, I'm an idiot! I didn't need your help!" I yelled. He lifted me up onto the branch. I almost blushed when his face was so close to mine
"Then call it payback when I didn't need your help..." He hissed. I conjured up the best glare I could as he helped Naruto.
"Damn pansy..." I mumbled.
Later during dinner, Sasuke and Naruto were both gone. However, much to my displeasure (I was beginning to like the silence) Sasuke and Naruto both came in, with Sasuke basically carrying Naruto. Although I'm sure he was using him for support too. Naruto's hand was over Sasuke's shoulder to help him stay up.
"What's with you two, you look tired and dirty." Tazuna asked.
"We both climbed to the top..." Naruto stated.
Okay," Kakashi began. "Naruto, Sasuke...you guard Tazuna-san next time as well."
Of course, Naruto was overjoyed at this statement and jumped for joy...knocking both of them over.
"You idiot..." Sasuke growled. Everyone laughed.
It was the next day, and, regardless to my please to make him come anyway, Naruto was to sleep in. We were on our way to the bridge. However, when we got there, everyone was injured. No one was working, no one was uninjured.
"What's wrong?! What happened?!" Tazuna demanded. Mist surrounded us. It could only mean one thing...
