The Tales of a Flower
Summary: Meet Haruno Sakura and her two best friends, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke (pick only one Saku!). As a teenager in the real world, she will have to face school detentions, girl fights, and love, love, love! This is the life of Haruno Sakura.
Chapter Nine: Choosing Between Friends
The clock struck one in the morning as Sakura stood on her balcony, staring at the glistening stars above her. This girl wasn't alone…not this night…
With her, sitting on the ledge, his arms casually around her, was Uchiha Sasuke.
"I think…you should go now, it's…getting late," Sakura said, trying hard as ever to sound casual and not flushed. She twirled strands of her hair around her finger and blushed lightly as he held her closer. She could feel his warm breath at the nape of her neck; it sent chills down her spine.
He smirked, not giving a damn about the time. "Be that way, Saku…" he said, releasing her. "Just don't go and stop talking to me later."
Sakura looked down, biting her nail nervously. She opened the door and stepped in her room, about to close the door. She looked up at him, her emerald eyes locked on to his dark orbs, and smiled. "Not talking to either of you has been a living hell for me."
Sasuke stared at her, still registering what she has just said as Sakura closed the door to call it a night or, uh, an early morning.
A teenage boy stretched his arms as he exited the yellow taxi, grinning. He shook back his fiery red hair and turned to face the taxi driver who was removing the teenager's bags from the trunk.
"Hey, thanks man," he said cheerfully, handing him a fifty dollar bill, "keep the change, it was a pretty far trip…and considering I kept getting you lost…"
"Is okay man. No worry here. Have good day." The really Asian man replied, closing the trunk and getting in the car.
He grinned and looked at the house in front of him. He whistled happily. "Damn…hope she isn't too mad with me! I didn't come all the way here just for her to yell at me…again…"
The boy picked up his bags – three in total – and strolled casually towards the door, whistling once more.
Sakura sat up on her bed, her eyesight hazy and still adjusting to the morning sun. She turned to her alarm clock and groaned. "Five lousy hours of sleep…I got school tomorrow!" she exclaimed, burying herself in the ultra comfortable blankets of her ultra comfortable bed waiting to be consumed in ultra comfortable slumber…
DING DONG!
She shot up from her bed, irritated. "What the hell!?"
Combing her hair quickly and tying on her robe, Sakura made her way down the stairs and to the front door. She opened it cautiously…
…and met a boy who looked no older than herself with flaming red hair and sparkling sunset colored eyes.
"Baby sis, good morning!" he said cheerfully, smiling at Sakura. "Hope I'm not too early!"
Blinking at the boy repeatedly – and registering what just happened – Sakura's lip began to twitch.
"Sis?"
She opened her mouth and the whole neighborhood woke up at exactly 6:12 on Sunday morning.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
Naruto quietly closed the door to his house, locking it securely. Every morning, Naruto went out to jog or run or just go out for some fresh air. He wasn't on the track team or anything – not this year at least, he discovered the joy of skateboards – but if he were, he'd be damn fast, almost fast enough to catch up with Sasuke who happens to be the fastest. Naruto could do cross-country…but football was more his style.
Usually he would be out on Sunday mornings with Sakura and having a nice morning just hanging out…but considering some circumstances that was long gone…oh well…
He jogged down the street and made a left unto the next block. Pausing at a stoplight, from the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar house and a not so familiar face in front of it…
Who the hell is that guy in front of Sakura's house?
Sakura pouted profusely as the boy wandered from the kitchen to the living room and back again. He – on the other hand – was smiling like a ten-year-old.
"Hey sis, anything to eat?"
She stared at him hard and turned away, huffing in frustration. "Why are you here?"
He sighed. "Dad sent me…and, I just wanted to be here for your graduation. I mean, it only happens once in your life…graduating from junior high I mean."
"Think I don't know that?" she snapped, standing up. "Hurry up, Yamato, what do you want for breakfast? Might as well cook since I'm up."
"Thanks a bunch, Sakura!" Yamato said happily, grinning again. "But I ate earlier, coffee or some lemon tea would be nice though!"
This is Asakura Yamato. He is Sakura's good-looking step-brother who lives in England.
Sakura managed a small smile, "Whatever, you owe me one, though."
A few moments later, Sakura was sitting with her brother as he literally gulped up the sweet honey lemon tea. Asakura Yamato is Sakura's fifteen-year-old almost sophomore step-brother. Back when Sakura was only two, her mother divorced her first husband Asakura Kyou – but it was an arranged marriage and it was a mutual decision because of the lack of love for each other (both loved Sakura dearly though) – and she married another man by the surname Haruno – but that marriage was short lived because Mr. Haruno and the Mrs. are separated in different households yet still married. Back to the Asakura guy, he moved to England and married some English lady by the name of Angelina Williams-Shindo who had a three-going-on-four-year-old son named Yamato from her first marriage – the husband Yamazaki Shindo was in a car accident and…yeah kind of obvious what happened then. Yes, complicated family history, but Sakura and her mother are very happy just living their lives without the Asakura/Williams family ties to bug them…
But along came Yamato, the estranged boy who decided to drop in after how many years…
"So, what are you doing here?" she asked, drinking her own cup of tea.
Yamato cocked his head to the side. "Like I said, Dad sent me."
"Aw, how touching of him," she replied sarcastically. "He shouldn't have gone through all that trouble of having to send you when he could have just come here himself."
"Sakura, you know that Dad would have wanted to come, but he couldn't. Besides, my mom wouldn't let him…she's got this problem or something with him leaving the country…weird really then again, she's strange herself."
"Whatever," she quietly said. Of all her fourteen years of existence, ever since she was two, Sakura has met her biological father only three times in her life since the divorce: once because he needed to get his stuff, another time he came by to see Sakura graduate pre-school, and the last time was when she was in 2nd grade with her father announcing that he was to be married to his long-time girlfriend What's-Her-Name-Again…
Yamato scratched the back of his head. "Lordie…it must be hard to only have one parent go to all of your, uh, school events and all, but it can't be all that bad."
"Oh shut up."
"What's with the harsh attitude? Is it that time of month or something?"
Sakura huffed away to answer the door – for someone was knocking – and left poor Yamato in the kitchen with sweet honey lemon tea – partially cooled – splashed all over his body.
"Sakura! What did you do that for!?"
Naruto breathed deeply, knocking calmly on the door – actually he was knocking so soft not even he can hear it.
"Come on Naruto, you can do it, it's just Sakura!" he mumbled to himself. Naruto gulped; his hand outstretched, ready to knock louder. All of sudden, his thoughts drifted to that moment many day ago where he…unintentionally of course…just went and…oh come on! It was SAKURA and her face was so close to his…and…
"Damn it all…"
He knocked.
He waited.
Maybe she's still asleep…
He knocked again.
He waited again.
Please, Lord let her still be sleeping…
He sighed, and turned away. Naruto didn't even know why he was standing in front of her house!
"Sakura! What did you do that for!?"
Who was that?
"Shut it Yamato! My mom is still sleeping!"
Crap! Sakura's still awake! I'm not ready for this! Maybe I can come by later… Wait a minute…who the hell is Yamato!?
Before Naruto could figure anything out, the door swung open.
Sakura's heart nearly skipped a beat when she opened the door. To be honest, she was half expecting the paper boy – who, by the way, was pretty cute. "N-Naruto? What are you doing h-here?"
"I um…I don't r-really know…" Naruto said, avoiding Sakura's gaze.
"Oh, w-would you like to come in? I mean, only if you want to…" she said, avoiding his gaze.
Naruto shook his head, his eyes still away from Sakura. "Nah, it's cool. I just, you know, went for an earlier round around the neighborhood…"
Sakura grinned. "Isn't it a bit early for that? Usually you go for your rounds around ten-ish or so…"
Naruto blushed, scratching the back of his head. "Ah, well, I just thought that an earlier time would be easier so…uh…"
"Sakura!"
The already embarrassed teenager turned around and saw her brother standing in the hall way…without his shirt.
"Sakura!" he whined again, "My shirt is wet and I need a shower now! You ruined my plans a couple of hours now…oh well, more time to spend with you Sakura!"
She held back frustration and forced out calmly – or as calmly as possible, "Yamato, go upstairs!"
Yamato paid no attention and spotted Naruto. He broke into a grin and went to the door. "Hey! I know you!"
Naruto, on the other hand, was drawing a huge blank. This strange boy was standing in Sakura's house without his shirt and smiling as though it were normal…
"Hey dude?"
"Who are you?" Naruto asked.
Sakura sighed. "Yamato, get a shirt on now."
Naruto looked back at Sakura and then back at 'Yamato' and stared hard at him. Red hair…orange like eyes…why does the name Yamato sound so familiar?
Yamato chuckled. "You don't remember me? Harsh!"
"It's better if he doesn't! Now put a shirt on!" Sakura commanded, pushing – or tried to push – her brother back in the house.
Naruto nodded. "Yamato…?"
"You remember me?"
"No…"
"Oh…"
Sakura slapped Yamato hard on the back and gave Naruto a small smile, embarrassed for her own brother. "Hey, sorry about that, but Naruto, are you doing anything later on?"
He shook his head. Naruto fought down the urge to just kiss her…again. He couldn't help it, it's those hormones again! But this morning…to him at least…Sakura looked extra breathtaking even in her pajamas.
"Cool, do you think you can come over this afternoon? Like around one?"
"Oh, Baby sis is growing up!" Yamato teased.
Sakura ignored him and looked back at her friend. "Could you?"
Naruto blushed, but only lightly. "Sure…but is it alright if Aya comes? She's coming over to tutor me a bit anyways…"
"Tutor? You're not that stupid…"
"Well, not tutor more like teach me. She can skateboard and she offered to teach me some stuff…"
Sakura raised an eyebrow. "Aya skates? Wow…didn't know that…but sure, it won't take long anyways."
Naruto smiled – partly because Sakura was talking to him and partly because this Yamato guy was being beat up by a girl.
Sakura checked her clock again and it read 1:05pm. She sighed, staring at her backyard. She was beginning to believe that her balcony was "enchanted"; after all, it was on her balcony that her two very best friends just went and kissed her – or was it because Sakura somehow…provoked them to do so?
"Sakura, are you going to seduce Naruto or something?" Yamato teased, sitting on her bed. "Or is it because you're in my presence that you've decided to dress all sexy?"
Clad in a denim skirt and an olive green tank top with thick straps, she somehow managed to blush in fury. "You nasty pervert!" she scolded.
"And your hair, it looks so good in that half-ponytail sis! So sexy…yum."
"You jackass, that's called incest! Now get out of my room!" she yelled, "Yamato, you piss me off! And as to why I'm dressed like this, it's because I'm going to the mall with Tenten and Riku!"
Yamato smirked. "Can I come with?"
"Go to hell!"
Yamato sighed and walked out the door, shutting it tight. Sakura took in deep breaths and made her way to the balcony again.
"Lord…why me?" she sighed, leaning on the rail. Sakura closed her eyes, almost at the brink of sleep.
"Hey sleepy-head," a voice said, arms wrapping around her waist. "You said you wanted to meet me so why sleep on me now?"
Sakura pulled away – blushing hard. "Sasuke!"
He pulled her back into another embrace and kissed her swiftly on the cheek. "Too slow," he whispered, letting her go and making himself comfortable on her bed, switching on the television.
Sakura on the other hand, stood still, confused and very flushed.
Aya sighed. "You know Naruto," she said quietly, "I don't think I should go with you…"
"What are you talking about? Sakura said it was okay!"
The two made their way across the street – Aya on her skateboard – and went to Sakura's front yard. Aya stopped. She knew what Sakura was going to do; after all, Sakura told Aya that she wanted to start over with the two numbskulls…Aya felt that it was better if she didn't barge in. Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke have been friends since forever, and Aya didn't want to be a last minute addition to their bond; she was a friend, but Aya knew that those three had a strong bond that straddled the line between true friendship and true family.
"Go on ahead, I'll be fine," she urged him. He stopped and stared at her.
"Aya, what if…what if Sakura rejects me?"
"What?"
"I told her…that I loved her…" Naruto mumbled.
Aya was so shocked she said nothing.
"Aya?"
She shook her head. "Naruto! It's Sakura we're talking about here! You guys have been friends since, like, preschool…so don't sweat about it okay?"
"I know that much," he said quietly, "but to add to my problems Hinata…she…"
"Let me guess, she confessed too?"
Naruto nodded slowly.
"Naruto, relax! Right now, just worry about Sakura. Trust me; your feelings for Hinata will be clearer after you have this talk with Sakura." Aya said, smiling at him.
He nodded and walked into the house and left the door slightly open but to only come rushing out and hiding behind Aya. "Help me!"
"Help you?" Aya asked, skating around the sidewalk. "What for?"
Almost after a second that she said that, a boy ran out of the house. "Wait up, Uzumaki!"
"Get away from me!" Naruto screeched, hiding behind Aya.
"Aw, you still don't remember me? It's only been three years!" he exclaimed, shaking back his fiery hair.
Aya got of her skateboard – "Aya! Don't leave me!" – and walked up to the boy, staring hard at him. "I'm sorry for this guy's behavior, but who wouldn't be spooked! Who are you and what the heck were you doing in Sakura's house?"
He stared back at her, his mouth slightly open. He broke into a grin and replied smoothly, "The name's Asakura Yamato and I just happened to be Sakura's step-brother. How about you? What's your name?" Damn…the girls around here are cuter than I remembered!
Aya laughed. "Brother? Wow…my name's Aya, Kudo Aya and this idiot is…"
"Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto chimed, stepping beside Aya.
"You're boyfriend?" Yamato asked.
"No, wouldn't dream of it. Naruto's more like a…uh brother to me," she replied. "Besides, he has another girl or two in mind…"
"Aya!" Naruto whined, but somehow managed to grin. "Well, I'm headed inside, Sakura's waiting on me!"
Aya sighed and lightly whacked him on the shoulder. "You better hurry up! You're fifteen minutes late!"
"You got it!" he replied happily, rushing into the house.
She shook her head, and turned back to Yamato. She gave him a smile. "Hey," she said, staring at his eyes, "you've got some awesome eyes…almost like the sunset!"
Yamato smiled back, the hints of a blush on his cheeks. "You know Kudo, you've got some lovely eyes yourself…"
"Gee, thanks, I don't get that a lot," she replied contently, getting on her board. "So…Asakura what's the deal about you?"
"Me? Well, who cares about me, tell me about you, Kudo…I kind of want to know more about you."
Aya stumbled off her skateboard, flustered. "M-me!? Why me?"
Yamato grinned. "I don't know, but for some reason, you interest me…"
"Huh…?"
"There's just something about you, Kudo…something about you that gets to me!"
Naruto walked up the stairs slowly, holding his breath; it took him at least a full five seconds to walk up one stair in the staircase of nine. But the poor boy was nervous…what if Sakura was going to beat him up for what happened over a month ago? Nah…that was unlikely…but was going on?
All of a sudden…his mind drifted to a certain Hyuga girl…
"If you did see me, you would see how much I love you!"
"Good Lord, Neji would kill me if he knew what happened!" he muttered to himself. Then there was Sakura…just thinking about it made his head hurt.
Naruto, after a good minute or so, finally made his way upstairs. He gulped and stood still, facing the doorway to his fate…
…?
Okay, that was too dramatic. Naruto smiled to himself, opening the door slowly to find that Sakura wasn't alone.
"Naruto! You're late!" Sakura said, sitting casually on her bed. She tossed the remote to her television to the side and stood up. "We've been waiting for you over twenty minutes!"
"We…?" Naruto looked around and spotted who was also a part of the 'We' lying on Sakura's bed. "Sasuke! Buddy!"
Sasuke smirked, leaning on Sakura's pillows, waving his hand. "Hey dobe, what took you so long?"
Sakura closed the door to her room and motioned for Naruto to sit down. "Hey, glad to see you guys are talking to each other again!"
The two boys instantly fell silent.
She giggled. "I guess this is all my fault huh? The reason why none of us are talking and stuff…I was being jealous with everything…all in my own confusion…"
Both Naruto and Sasuke stared at her. "Sakura…" Naruto started.
She shook her head. "Hey, ignore that! But seriously, were you guys even trying to talk to each other?"
"No," they said in unison, Naruto staring at the floor and Sasuke staring at the television.
Sakura sighed. "Boys…hopeless…Now then…do you guys even have a clue as to why you're here?"
"Why not tell us, Saku?" Sasuke said, staring at her intently…almost in a seductive way.
Sakura blushed. "Uh…well…"
Naruto pouted and turned to Sakura, smiling cheerfully. "Yeah, it would be helpful to tell us. Take your time though…"
She blushed more, stammering, "W-well…you s-see I…"
Naruto smirked and glanced at Sasuke, giving him a smile of victory. Sasuke glared in response.
Sakura noticed it and chuckled. What they were both trying to do was very cute and made her blush even more. Are they trying to win my attention?
"You guys, glaring daggers at each other isn't going to work," she muttered. "But, I called you guys here…because, I'm ready to talk."
"Talk?" Naruto said, "Aren't we doing that now?"
The poor girl sighed.
Yamato sighed in delight. He was in heaven. Two more girls joined Kudo Aya and the three of them were chatting in a friendly way. There was the older looking one – the mature and attractive looking one – with chocolate colored eyes and dark brunette hair that was tied back into two buns atop her head…very cute but she was giving off signals saying that she was off-limits. Then there was the other girl who had short light brown hair that barely touched her shoulders and bright coffee colored eyes…Yamato couldn't help but stare at her…she looked almost as innocent and almost as wonderful as the creamy skinned, long lavender haired, and enticing golden eyes of Kudo Aya.
"Hey Asakura!" Aya called, motioning him to come closer. "I want you to meet some of my friends!"
The boy stood up from his seat and walked up to Aya, smiling. "What's up ladies?"
"This is Asakura Yamato," Aya started, pulling his arm so that he was a little closer to the girls. "Don't be shy, Asakura, it's just Tenten and Riku they won't bite…well, Riku won't at least."
"Riku?" he asked, looking between the two girls. He only did so because the close proximity he was having with Aya almost threw him off guard.
The girl with short hair stepped up. "I'm Riku, and Tenten's my cousin."
Yamato gaped at her. "Hey…" The girls are totally way cuter than I remembered!
Aya, on the other hand, was smiling knowingly, removing her hold on him. Asakura Yamato was easy to read like a book, and with a girl like Riku around…oh boy…someone needs to get Asakura a band-aid to cover his heart!
Sakura sat down on the carpet with Naruto and Sasuke, taking a deep breath. "Well, I needed to talk to you both…probably not the best approach but the only one that is open to me at the moment."
"So spill!" Naruto said, playing with the edge of her carpet. Wow…it's so fuzzy!
Sasuke closed his eyes, almost ready to doze off. Gods…I need more sleep…
"I know how both of you feel about me and I don't think its right that you should go behind each other's backs!" she exclaimed quickly.
The boys snapped back into reality. "What the fuck!?" they both yelled.
"You brought me here just to tell me that Naruto is in love with you? Damn Sakura! I already knew that!" Sasuke said angrily. Naruto just gaped, surprised that Sasuke would know that.
"I…know! But I should be apologizing!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Wha…?" Naruto stared at her, dumbfounded.
She smiled weakly and muttered quietly, "I'm sorry I guess with happened, it confused me…"
Naruto dropped his head low, sighing. He was half-hoping that she would forget about what happened between them and just drop it…
"I mean, Naruto doing what he did and Sasuke saying what he said…it made me so lost…"
"Saku…"
"Let me finish Sasuke!" Sakura stood up staring at both of them. "I'm not really sure about how I really feel!"
"Sakura listen about that…" Naruto hesitated, not knowing what he should explain. What do I say? Sasuke's here and he might…oh Lordie…
"I know this might sound stupid and selfish of me," Sakura continued, covering her eyes with her hands, "but…I love…both of you…."
Sasuke shook his head. "Hn."
"Both of us…?" Naruto asked, "But I don't get it!"
Sakura lowered her head, "I don't know who I love more! I mean, you guys can't do this to me! Both of you have been my very best friends! You guys can't make me choose between you…"
Naruto remained silent, soaking it all in. "So does that mean…it's just friends?"
"No, Naruto, I know that deep down, I know what's going to happen…I'm just not so sure what will happen at this moment…but it was so frustrating to know that with some declarations…our friendship would be ruined…"
"Idiot," Sasuke said, tossing a pillow at the girl. "I said I was sorry earlier for what I did."
Sakura uncovered her eyes and plopped back on the floor. "So does that mean…you guys forgive me?"
"I do, I just don't know about Naruto," he replied, pointing at the silent boy. "But listen, take your time and don't you dare fry your brains over it like last time."
Sakura stared at him. Sasuke…
Sasuke stood up on patted the girl on the head. "But yeah, I'm putting the past behind me and moving on. I'm willing to 'renew' our friendship thing but I don't know about you guys," he said without hesitation but without much emotion either. Sasuke leaned closer to Sakura and whispered in her ear, "I love you."
Sakura blushed deep red and covered her face again. Stupid Sasuke! Not helping!
Naruto – who was being silent – was breathing slow and steady ragged breaths. Sasuke loves her too? What am I going to do…I mean…what about Hinata? All of sudden, Aya's voice rang in his head.
"Naruto, relax! Right now, just worry about Sakura. Trust me; your feelings for Hinata will be clearer after you have this talk with Sakura."
Sakura regained her composure and looked at Naruto. "Naruto, I'm sorry too…I shouldn't have run away from you…it wasn't right."
He shook his head. "No, it was my fault…I knew if I did something like that it would ruin our friendship…but I guess I knew what was coming. But yeah, I'm all good, I missed you anyways, evil Sasuke too."
"Uh, 'evil Sasuke'?"
"Figure of speech, even if he is my best friend, he's kind of my rival…again. But yeah, things change," Naruto said, standing up, "and you never what's going to happen. Take your time, like he said, and don't give yourself living hell."
Naruto! Sakura blushed, smiling gently.
"Well, Sakura, I know what you're going through so don't stress okay?"
"Naruto," she whispered, "thank you…"
"For what?"
She just smiled at him, standing up. She opened the door and walked out, Naruto tailing behind her.
Sakura held back laughter as she saw the sight in front of her house. Sasuke and Yamato were talking as though they've known each other for years…Yamato kept on adverting his attention to the girls who were being amazed by Aya's ability to skateboard. "Hey boys, stir any trouble yet?" she asked, smiling at them.
Yamato grinned and replied, "Baby sis, who knew so much has changed since I last came here! And Uchiha is the only one to remember me!"
"Whoopee," she said sarcastically, "should I act surprised or be surprised?"
"You remember him, Sasuke? But how?" Naruto asked, staring at Yamato.
Sasuke smirked. "Back in fifth grade, Asakura came by my house once and almost got into a fist fight with my brother."
"I remember that!" Yamato and Sakura both exclaimed – Yamato in delight and Sakura in disgust.
Riku, Tenten, and Aya entered the conversation. Aya smiled at Sakura who smiled back and winked at Sasuke giving him the Now I Can Sleep at Night look. Over the past few days, Sasuke has been on the phone asking advice and stuff from her. "Oh, what happened?" Riku asked.
Tenten then chimed, "Neji told me this one, something about some idiot 6th grader who almost got beat up by all time high school senior Itachi…they fought over something…"
"Not something, more like Asakura said something that was really offensive to Itachi and he got mad," Sasuke said, recalling events. "Something about Sakura."
"Ooh! What he say?" Riku asked, really interested. Naruto nodded and urged them to continue.
Yamato blushed and tried hard to change the subject, knowing that he would get his ass kicked by all the girls – come on, he was outnumbered, one to four. Aya interjected, "How about we don't go there?"
"Sounds good to me!" they all said, knowing in unison that something really offensive like that would get the older Itachi started and probably the younger one as well.
"By the way, Sakura," Tenten said, "who is Asakura boy anyways? I just know he lives in with you…but why?"
Sasuke, Naruto, Tenten, Riku, and Aya all stared at her – two of the five knowing who Yamato is. She sighed.
"Asakura Yamato this is the guys," Sakura said sadly, "guys, this is Asakura Yamato…my older step-brother."
Yamato, at that phrase, stepped up and grabbed Riku's hand gently. He then said – turning on the charm of course – to her, "I'm here to heed to your every need."
Riku blushed hard. "Ah…"
The next second was a blur to Riku, Aya, Sasuke, and Naruto. Sakura and Tenten bolted towards Yamato with lightening speed and crushed him to the ground, the group soon leaving for the mall, a half-dead teenager lying on the ground with huge twin lumps on his head.
"I'm sorry Riku, but I'm afraid he can over do it at times!" Sakura apologized.
"You think!?" the girls exclaimed.
