As expected Naruto was at Ichiraku. When Sakura and Sasuke arrived he was finishing 4th bowl of Ramen.
"Naruto!" Sakura called.
"Huh? Oh, hey Sakura-chan, Teme." Naruto smiled.
"What are you doing Dobe?"
"Eating Ramen"
"That much is clear." Sakura stated.
"Oh..."
"She means why are you not at school idiot." Sasuke frowned.
"I was gonna come!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Why didn't you?" Sakura said.
"Well, I thought that Hinata might be there too... And... Well... I-I didn't..." Naruto stumbled at his words.
"You didn't want to see Hinata." Sasuke finished for him." I heard that already."
"Huh?" Naruto looked confused.
"Sasuke! Shut up!" Sakura tried to stop him but it was too late.
" She didn't want to see Hinata either." Sasuke said bluntly.
"Sakura-chan, I don't want to ruin your friendship with Hinata. You shouldn't-"
"NO! SHUT UP NARUTO!"
"Sakura-chan, calm down, I-"
"SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU! SHE KNOW THAT YOU ARE LIKE A BROTHER! SHE KNOWS YOU WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT! AND YET SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU! SHE HURT YOU! AND YOU THINK I'M JUST GONNA CONTINUE BEING FRIENDS WITH HER?! AFTER ALL THIS?" Sakura looked like she was about to cry. Anger was taking over her, but more than that she felt pain. Why did everybody keep telling her that Hinata may stop being her friend? Why is everybody telling her that it is her fault? First Sasuke, now Naruto. She loved Hinata she really did, but with Naruto it was a different story. Naruto was family. She couldn't afford to lose only loving family she had, no she certainly couldn't lose Naruto.
" Sakura-chan..."
"Would you calm down, Haruno? Everybody is staring at us and you are too loud." Sasuke said that like situation couldn't be easier.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY, UCHIHA."
"I said shut up. You are too loud!"
"I'll kill you'
"I want to see you try." Sasuke smirked.
Naruto smiled as Sakura continued screaming and shouting at Sasuke. 'Leave it to Sasuke to turn the situation around.' he thought. ' Since when is he so talkative?'
