DISCLAIMER: It's SasuSaku, Sasuke says he hates Sakura, 'nuff said.
Warning: My sheer stupidity ensues, and although better then previous chapters, don't expect it to be some epic story.
Yesterday was not how it was supposed to be, but she knew it was better than the dream. The horrific sights terrified her, and she was still a bit shaken over it, despite seeming completely in the normal.
Today for sure they'd have to go inside the house and clean, probably try to avoid eachother. Yeah, how wonderful.
Sakura made her way over to the end of the couch residing in her room, and opened a bag of chips. A very healthy breakfast if I do say so myself. Of course, you guys can probably tell I'm a little whacko...
Pulling out a chip, she stopped to think. Yesterday was full of... I don't know, but it was something different. Sasuke was not only not talking to her, but he was avoiding having to talk with anyone.
Suddenly a shoe made contact with her window, and she shrieked. When she looked out the window to see who had thrown it, she was a little shocked.
"Sasuke?!" She shouted quietly, it was afterall, six in the morning. "Come down here, we need to talk." A little early to be sneaking off, but it was Sasuke we were talking about, one of her closest friends, and hopefully, someday her boyfriend.
She climbed out her window, and scaled down the tree growing worryingly close to the house.
"Listen, yesterday... I should've... Okay, what I'm trying to say is--" "Shut up Sakura."
A little cliche, but he shut her up with a kiss. She smiled. Yesterday melted away with every other bad day she'd ever had. Today was a new start, with Sasuke.
"I like you." She grinned like a fool. "Good! Cuz... I like you too." He kissed her again.
xXx
They walked in into the house, hand in hand. Naruto and Shikamaru were already there, and for some reason so was Itachi and Mida too.
Itachi looked up from the glass in his hand, filled to the brim with a red substance, most likely blood.
"Mida you owe me thirty bucks, as well as you too. And to think, the genius Shika couldn't even figure that one out,"
Mida and Naruto made a funny face, whereas Shikamaru just looked at him like he was crazy.
"Never. My name is ShikaMARU." "I could call you Akamaru instead."
"Shika's fine..." Sakura laughed, and Sasuke allowed himself to also.
"Ne, teme, shouldn't you be trying to kill your brother or something?"
"Shoulda coulda woulda, but I'd rather do this." He hugged Sakura against his side, and kissed her cheek.
Itachi whined. "Sasuke! How come you never do that to me!" Sasuke sweatdropped.
"Aniki, it's not something two brothers should be doing..." "So?"
Sakura walked over and sat on Itachi lap, causing Sasuke to roll his eyes.
She eyed the glass in his hands, hoping he wouldn't spill it. "For a change, it's wine."
"Oh, in that case... Can I have some?" She took a sip from his glass, then spit it out into her hand.
"It may be wine, but it tastes like crap!" He chuckled, sipping his drink.
"Tachi, can I have some?!" Naruto asked, acting a little enthusiastic.
"NO. Alcohol and Naruto are two things that should never EVER mix!"
"Well, that and a shit load of sugar." Sasuke mused.
Naruto pouted, and Sakura smiled at him.
Yesterday may have been weird, or awkward, or even embarrassing, but today was the most spectacular thing ever to happen to her. She was loving every minute.
A/N: This is the end. I promised a long story, but I couldn't provide it. Hey, at least I finished it, I have a tendency to give up on things, and not finishing them.
