Also should I add a little of SasuNaru to this story or not? I kinda want to, but I don't know.. Anyways review to tell me!
Me: Neh, Sasuke?
Sasuke: Hn?
Me: You seriously need to get back in the manga! Masashi Kishimoto hasn't put you in the story for about 20 -40 chapters!
Sasuke: Hn, ain't my problem..
Me: ...well your popularity is dropping by the minute..
Sasuke: O_O
Sasuke Uchiha Must Die
Sakura's POV
It was already lunch, and Sasuke wasn't present in any of our classes. He was gone, and people said that he was here too. What was going on? Did he skip? Was it because of the rumors? Does he not want to see me? Is he mad at me?.. What the fuck is going on?
"S-Sakura-san? A-are you okay?"
I looked up from the table at Hinata. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
"W-well, you seemed down.."
I smiled at her. "Don't worry, I'm fine!" I chirped, trying to reassure her.
I don't think she believed my act though, but she decided to play along. "So Hinata, how'd yesterday go? Did you and Naruto have fun?"
She blushed massively at the mention of Naruto's name. "I-it was real fun! N-Naruto-kun showed me how to play mini-golf!" The tone of her voice sounded excited.
I giggled. "So you like Naruto?"
She blushed and fiddled with her fingers. "M-maybe.."
"You should totally ask him out!"
Her face turned completely red. "I-I can't! T-there's just n-no way!"
"Oh, come on Hinata! Man up! You guys both like each other!"
Her face dropped. "I-I don't think he likes m-me like that..." Her gaze had turned into an empty stare.
My eyebrows knitted together immediately at her comment. "Of course he does! You're just too flippin' oblivious to notice!" I yelled.
She looked up at me, giggled, and smiled. "T-thanks for t-the reassurance.."
I gave her a big smile. "No problemo!"
"Well, aren't you just having a great time?"
I looked to the owner of the unfamiliar voice.
It was Karin.
"Do you need something?.." I nervously asked.
"Yes, stay away from Sasuke! He doesn't need you hanging around him and causing problems."
I gave her a shocked look. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Stay. Away. From. Sasuke." She had a threatening tone of voice.
And before I could reply she walked away.
"What the hell was that?" I nearly shrieked.
Hinata gave me a sympathetic look. "Y-you're kind of b-being blamed for the rumor starting r-right now.."
I turned to Hinata. "Why? I didn't start it!"
"W-well since they can't find the real person they are blaming you because the rumor wouldn't have started if you weren't hanging out with him.."
I dropped my head onto the table. "Great...this is what I get for getting a ride home..."
Sasuke's POV
I had missed the first couple of periods as I was walking around school looking for the person who I knew started the rumor.
It had to have been the one who walked in on me and Sakura's little trade off. It had to have been her. There was no one else that could've started a rumor like that, and make it go all around school... no one else...
As I rounded one of the corners I found the missing culprit I was looking for.
"You know people who start rumors are just looking for attention," I stated.
She turned once she heard my voice. It was Temari Sabaku, the queen of gossip herself.
"What makes you think it was me?" she asked as she narrowed her eyes at me.
I chuckled. "You start every rumor that flies around this school,.. Temari."
She smiled, letting her guard down quickly. "I'm surprised you even remember my name!"
I walked over to where she was, and placed a hand on her cheek. "Of course I do. You were my girlfriend at one time, and there is just no way in hell I could forget your face." I was turning on the charm factor.
She giggled. "Smooth as always.. If what you said to the crowd this morning was true...Why were you two kissing in the parking lot the other day?"
I chuckled. "We weren't. I was just checking her eye. She got something in it and asked me to look at it. From your position I guess it could easily look like we were kissing." Everything I was saying was a complete and total lie, and it was absolutely obvious. But she did fall for it easily, and I had to do it or else later down the line Temari would become a problem, and might even actually make me lose my bet with Pinky.
She gasped. "Really? I got it all wrong? I'm sorry Sasuke...but.." she moved closer, and started to draw a pattern with her finger on my chest seductively, "..Maybe I could make it up to you...How about it?"
I smirked, and pushed her up against the wall, kissing her heatedly as she returned it with the same amount of passion. "Sure, but on one condition..." I murmured as I kissed her neck.
Her eyes clouded with lust looked down upon me, as her lips turned into a pout. "What?" she managed to whisper out.
I leaned back to get a full glimpse of her face, and slammed my lips back against hers, making her gasp, and letting me deepen the kiss. I pulled back after a few seconds, and smirked once again.
"This has to be our little secret...and no one can know.."
Sakura's POV
Finally I got to see Sasuke! He finally decided to join class during 7th period. Of course the teacher let it slide because he's Sasuke Uchiha... It was really ridiculous how his name could get him anywhere..
Anyways as Sasuke moved to sit in his seat I saw his eyes flicker to me, and as I looked back at him his face plastered on a full-blown smirk... Oh, the nerve of him!
... Well, at least I knew he wasn't mad at me...
Wait a minute, I don't care if he's mad at me or not! I don't care! Not at all! (*sigh* I so do care...)
As my mind went on a ramble, Sasuke walked past me with a pencil, making it seem he had to sharpen it, but dropped a folded piece of paper on my desk instead, basically just like the time before.
Once he made it back to his seat I unfolded the note, and once again he had managed to make me stunned...
The piece of paper was again filled with names of girls, and dates, except this time the piece of paper was completely full, front and back. There were even names written on the side to keep from wasting another paper.
I began to count the total of names, using my pencil to keep track of where I was at.
I dropped the pencil to the floor, and slammed my head to my desk immediately upon calculation.
"Haruno, is there a problem?" my teacher, Kurenai-sensei irritately asked from the front of the room.
I looked up and grinned sheepishly. "No sensei." After that she went back to her work.
I put my head back down, and groaned.
Sasuke had a total of 121 girls...
And that was just on that one piece of freakin' paper! He had about 30 or 40 already! How the hell was he pulling this off?
I shook my head.
There was no way I was going to lose this bet. I will not lose!
I glanced in Sasuke's direction.
Sasuke was being gathered around a couple of girls, and there he was flirting away like usual. That bastard just thinks he is so cool.. One of these days I hope some girl actually gets the guts to punch him in the face. Ohhh, I really hope so...because that would soo be scrapbook worthy!
As I forgot I was staring at Sasuke as I was going off into lala land, Sasuke felt my gaze and glanced back at me. I snapped out of my thoughts, and immediately blushed and looked away. I could feel the smug smirk on his face as I turned my back to him.
Oh, how I wanted to punch him, (and kiss him) so badly! How could someone be so irritating, and sexy? It wasn't fair! So not fair!
Ding Ding Ding
Was it already time to leave? Time sure does fly when you are thinking about...you know what? Scratch that thought!
I gathered my things, and began to rush out the door, trying to avoid Sasuke. I really did not feel like talking to him at the moment, just taking one look at his face would make me angry.
"Sakura," I heard Sasuke call.
I immediately quickened my pace out of the classroom, leaving Sasuke in the dust...
Because if I stopped I probably would've punched him in the face...
After school
"Sakura-san?"
I turned around to look at Hinata. These past days she had finally gotten over stuttering so much around me. Of course she was still shy, but just the stuttering was a big improvement.
"Yeah? What is it?" I looked curiously at her. Something was wrong with her.. It seemed like she was kind of down...but why?
"Have you seen Naruto-kun today?"
I froze. I hadn't seen Naruto, and it was weird. Normally I would've seen him in the hall, but today I hadn't seen him at all.
"No, why?" I answered, uncertain of where she was heading.
She looked down. "He seems kind of off today... He isn't his normal self?"
I raised an eyebrow. "Hinata, if you haven't noticed..Naruto's not normal."
She shook her head. "That's not what I meant! He isn't happy, he's more gloomy..."
My eyebrows knitted together.
"I didn't think that Naruto could get gloomy..."
And right after I said that, Naruto appeared. He was walking towards the parking lot, and like Hinata said, something was off.
"Hey Naruto!" I called.
He looked over at me, and walked (more like trudged) toward me.
"Hey Sakura-chan, Hinata. How's life treating ya?" He tried to sound happy.
Getting bothered with the way he was acting I tried to make him spit out what he was down about secretly. "Good, where have you been all day? Usually I see you once or twice in the hall!"
He gave a small smile, and a shrug. "I guess we went down different halls."
I twitched.
"Oh, really..." I muttered to myself, quietly.
Deciding enough was enough, I asked him straight out what I was thinking. "Naruto, what the hell is bothering you?"
He flinched at the sudden question, and his face drained of color. "What are you talking about Sakura-chan?"
"Don't play innocent with me! I know that something is wrong! Spit it out!"
Naruto looked down at his feet. "Rumors..."
I froze. "The rumors about me and Sasuke-kun? Is that what you're talking about?"
He suddenly looked up at me, with a tint of anger in his eyes. "-kun? You use -kun with Sasuke's name?"
I gulped. "Y-yeah.." I was beginning to grow scared of him. "And the rumors are fake Naruto. They're nothing, but lies. There is nothing between us!"
"..Why did they start in the first place though?.."
My eyes widened, but then narrowed. "I don't know Naruto! And why the fuck do you even listen to rumors for? Anyways even if the rumors were true it would be none of your business!"
"U-um, I'll s-see you g-guys later," I heard Hinata whisper. I had totally forgotten about her.
I turned to her and gave a small smile. "See ya."
"Sakura-chan.."
I immediately turned my attention back on Naruto. "Do you hang out with Sasuke?" he asked.
"I guess..kinda, he's given me a few rides before, and we have classes together.."
"You shouldn't talk to him... He's really bad news. Believe me, I know him better than anyone else around here! He's always up to something, and you need to stay away from him."
I glared at him. "You can't tell me who I can and can't hang with Naruto! You don't own me! Why do you care so much about me talking to him? And..you know what? I'm done talking to you right now!" I turned away, and stomped off, feeling extremely angry and upset.
So angry that I wanted to cry...
Sasuke's POV
It was finally Monday, and all weekend I had a feeling Naruto was going to visit. I knew sooner or later he had too, and I was anticipating it.
And I guessed he decided to choose now to do so.
"Hey Naruto," I greeted nonchalantly, acknowledging his presence.
He was leaning on my locker, and glaring right at me, and I probably knew why too...
"Don't 'Hey Naruto' me! What the fuck is going on around here?" he grabbed hold of my shirt and pulled me to him, threatening to punch me.
I sighed. "Are you talking about the rumors?"
"No shit! You're not using Sakura-chan as one of your toys are you?" he yelled as he pushed me up by my locker.
"No, I'm not, and that's just a rumor," I replied smirking, "We have nothing going on between us . Of course we've had a little fun here and there."
He gritted his teeth. "You've talked to her before? You had a little 'fun'? Don't fuck with me!"
"I'm not joking. Yes, in fact, we met and had a lovely conversation at the bookstore. I'm guessing you showed it to her.. So tell me..what's so amazing about her that you actually showed her that place? Does she make you feel loved? Does she feel good? "
"She's different from other girls! She's...different!" he yelled.
I raised a brow. "Really now? Is it just because she has pink hair? Because that seems to be the only thing thats different. Why didn't you tell me about her? Is it because you didn't want me to steal her from you? Is that it?"
I knew all the things I was spatting were just lies, but just looking at Naruto's face at that moment made me pissed. So pissed that I wanted to kill him.. He was really getting under my skin. Just who the fuck does he think he is messing with me? But then again that's what made me and him best friends...
"Shut up! You know nothing about her! And I didn't god damn tell you about her because you always go and mess things up for me! Just stay the fuck away from her!" Naruto's face contorted into pure anger as he slammed me against the lockers, "If you don't I'll make sure you'll be put in a hospital bed.."
I smirked, and pushed him off me. I grabbed his shirt and punched him in the face with full force into the lockers behind him, making him hit his head and black out, gasping from pain as he did so. "You see Naruto..." I started, but I knew that he wouldn't hear me, "I just can't do that..."
As he regained some conciousness he spoke again. "Why do you always mess things up for me Sasuke? Do you get some kind of kick out of it? Huh?" he yelled, "Why can't you just stay the fuck out of my way?"
I walked over to where Naruto was crouching, and looked him in the eyes with a pained expression and whispered, "You know the reason why..."
Naruto froze, and looked down. He knew what I was talking about. "That was a long time ago Sasuke...a long time ago.."
I smirked cruelly. "I beg to differ."
Naruto looked up at me. "Can't things just go back to the way they used to Sasuke?"
I stared at Naruto for a long time. "...No"
His eyes began to water, and his body began to tremble "..Why?...Why not? Why can't things go back?"
My chest became heavy as the tears began to roll down his cheeks. His lips quivered as he tried to keep his mouth from forming a frown, though it was no use.
"...Because we remember." My answer was cryptic. I knew it was, but I thought just maybe, he would understand it...Just this one time..
Naruto locked eyes with me, and although his gaze was clouded by tears, I could tell what emotion they held.
It was regret. And I knew then and there...
that he knew what I meant..and so..
I walked away... leaving him to collaspe on the cold, hard, floor...
Whoa! Cliffhanger and confusing twists and turns! :) Sorry about that, but I'm planning something interesting...
I know this chapter is kind of short, but I promise that the next one will be extremely long to make up for it!
I probably won't update this coming up week because I'm gonna be busy. Anyways review for me! Reviews make me update sooner!
Also don't forget to post whether or not you want some SasuNaru in here!
