So, What's Next? Chapter 10: Pretentious Woman, a naruto fanfic

CHAPTER 11- PRETEND YOU'RE NOT TORN

"Okay, so what game would we play?" Sasuke said.

"First, let me explain to you the game. I'm going to draw two boxes, one blue, one pink. Blue is mine, pink is yours." Sakura said.

"Uh-huh. So, where will you draw those boxes?" Sasuke asked.

"Outside the balcony, where raindrops just drops. Duh." Sakura said.

"It is the place where rain does not fall too much right?" Sasuke said.

"Yup. So, what are we gonna play is sort of crazy." Sakura said.

"Heh. Just what is expected to the one who created the game. Crazy." Sasuke smirked.

"Get over yourself, eejit." Sasuke slapped Sasuke on the cheek.

"OW!! What the hell? Do you have your period or something? You're so hot headed." Sasuke said.

"No. It isn't the 2nd of the month." Sakura said.

"Okay. I'll mark that on my calendar so I won't mess with you in those days." Sasuke said.

"Shut up. Okay, I'll draw it." Sakura ran to the balcony holding two colored chalks, one blue, one pink.

"Yah!!" Sakura slapped Sasuke on the cheek.

"Hey! What the hell?" Sasuke said.

"Oh, I forgot, you don't know the rules yet!" Sakura was laughing. "Okay, so, the rules is: when a raindrop drops on your box, I will slap you, and vice versa. So, if a raindrop falls on my box, you slap me."

"WHAT?!" Sasuke said. Sakura slapped Sasuke twice.

"Wait, I don't slap women." Sasuke said.

"Get over it. If you judo chopped me once, you can slap me. C'mon!!" Sakura said. She slapped Sasuke again. Sasuke glared at her.

"Sasuke-kun, stop being all dramatic about the past, okay? It happened already, you did it already." Sakura said.

And then, a raindrop hit Sakura's box.

Sasuke slapped her.

"That's so --corny. It's so mild, I can't even feel it. You're being nice, c'mon!!" Sakura said, as she slapped Sasuke since a raindrop fell on his box.

"Okay." A raindrop hit Sakura's box. He slapped her.

"Good!" Sakura said. And then they slapped each other continuously.

Rain become stronger.

Lightning striked.

Their drawn boxes, were dropped with raindrops continuously.

"Yah!!" Sakura said.

"One more!" Sasuke said.

Slap.

-creeekk-

"Aaagh!! It's so dark!!" Sakura threw herself to Sasuke.

Awkward.

"Sakura…" Sasuke muttered. Sakura moved herself and blushed, though Sasuke didn't see it because it was so dark.

"I wonder how long the electricity black out will last." Sakura said.

"Maybe it'll resume tomorrow. No one can fix them because there's a storm." Sasuke replied.

"Till morning?!" Sakura shivered.

"Stop thinking crazy things, Sakura. I'm not a perv or something." Sasuke smirked.

"There you said it, I was not saying anything." Sakura said sarcastically.

"Besides, I think I should be the one who should be nervous, you know." Sasuke smirked. Again.

"When will you ever get over yourself?? Do you think you have a god-like appearance to die for?!" Sakura said.

Inner Sakura

Yes, he has.

"Sakura, admit it." Sasuke teased.

"Will you shut up?! I'm not Ami or --, whatever. Whoever, I mean." Sakura said.

"Or Karin." Sasuke finished. Sakura looked at him.

"I'm not saying anything about your ex-girlfriend, okay?" Sakura said.

Inner Sakura

Sis, you were. And stop being a martyr, and hurting yourself saying those things. I mean, admit it, you like--lurve Sasuke-kun!!

"Will you shut up?!" Sakura said mentally to her inner.

"How many times do I have to tell you, I never had a girlfriend? Besides, I don't sway on that kind of girl…" Sasuke explained.

Sakura raised her brow.

Inner Sakura

Yeah!! Admit it, you're so happy, Sasu-kun doesn't like sluts like her!!

"Well, whatever." Sakura said. She walked across the living room but then they heard a noise.

"OH KAMI!! DO IT MORE!! FASTER!" Someone moaned.

Sasuke coughed.

"Shitty neighbors. Fuck it." Sakura muttered.

"Naruto would like your location. You have such interesting neighbors." Sasuke smirked.

"MY GOD!! MORE!! MORE!!" Someone screamed.

"Will you shut the hell up?!" Sakura screamed.

Sasuke's jaw dropped.

"Sakura…" Sasuke was awestruck. This isn't the Sakura I know. She's an introvert, but now…. I better not mess with her anymore… She isn't Haruno Sakura 13 Fangirl anymore, she's U DON'T MESS WITH THE SAKURA now…

"Isn't that a lil… overboard?" Sasuke said.

"Do they think that the walls separating this damn apartments are like… ten miles from each other? My god…" Sakura said as she returned from her room.

"Why are you carrying a guitar?" Sasuke asked.

"I need to practice the song I'll sing at Shirokuo. It's solo." Sakura replied.

"Okay. Don't mind me." Sasuke moved.

"Do you know that this is the first song I ever wrote? It was written when I was 14 years old, when I was training under Tsunade-sama. So, this is my favorite one." Sakura said.

"Really? Is it for me?" Sasuke teased.

"Sasuke-kun, will you stop being so air headed?!" Sakura said.

"Fine. Anyway, go on." Sasuke said.

Sakura strummed her guitar, So, it's acoustic. Sasuke thought.

"Torn." Sakura said. That's the title? Sasuke thought.

I saw a man brought to life,

He was born, he came around like he was dignified.

He showed me what it was to cry.

Well you couldn't be that man I adore,

You don't seem to know, don't seem to care,

What your heart is for.

Well I don't know him anymore.

There's nothing where he used to lie,

My conversation has run dry.

Well that's what's going on,

Nothing's right I'm torn,

I'm all out of faith,

This is how I feel,

I'm cold and I'm ashamed, lying naked on the floor,

Illusion never changed into something real,

I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,

You're a little late, I'm already torn.

So I guess the fortune teller's right,

I should've seen just what was there and not some holy light.

Would you crawl beneath my veins and now,

I don't care, I have no luck.

I don't miss you all that much,

Well that's what's going on,

Nothing's right I'm torn,

I'm all out of faith,

This is how I feel,

I'm cold and I'm ashamed, lying naked on the floor,

Illusion never changed into something real,

I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,

You're a little late, I'm already torn.

There's nothing where he used to lie,

My inspiration has run dry,

Well that's what's going on,

Nothing's right I'm torn,

I'm all out of faith,

This is how I feel,

I'm cold and I'm ashamed, lying naked on the floor,

Illusion never changed into something real,

I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,

You're a little late, I'm already torn.

I'm all out of faith,

This is how I feel,

I'm cold and I'm ashamed,pounded and broken on the floor,

Illusion never changed into something real,

I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn,

You're a little late, I'm already torn.

"So, how was it?" Sakura asked Sasuke.

For a moment, Sasuke couldn't say anything. "Um, well, it was nice." Sasuke said.

"Really?!" Sakura said.

"I didn't understand it though." Sasuke said.

"Well, it was about a girl, understanding that life isn't always that perfect, not always has happy endings and always has goodbyes. Like that." Sakura said.

"Really?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes." Sakura said.

"Hey, it's 9:30 already, and we need to wake up tomorrow at 5am." Sasuke said.

"Yea, I'll make the bed. And, you're gonna sleep on the floor." Sakura winked.

"No. I won't." Sasuke said.

"Yes, you will." Sakura replied.

"No. I won't." Sasuke said.

"Yes, you will." Sakura replied.

"No. I won't." Sasuke said.

"Ugh. Fine." Sakura said.

After Sakura arranged the bed,

"Finally! I can sleep! Woohoo!" Sakura said.

Sasuke entered the room, and sat on Sakura's bed.

"Okay, so this is the wall between us, kay?" Sakura said.

"What the--? Yours is like more than half of the bed and mine is like 1/8 only??" Sasuke said.

"Shut up, and sleep!" Sakura said.

"Move over." Sasuke moved the pillow.

"Hey!!" Sakura said.

"I'm gonna sleep, stop nagging at me." Sasuke said.

"Good night." Sakura said coldly.

"Ah." Sasuke replied.

……..

"I CAN'T SLEEP!! I'M NOT USED HAVING SOMEONE SLEEP WITH ME!!" They both cried in unison.

They both stared at each other.

"You can sleep on the settee, Sasuke-kun." Sakura said.

"What the? No waay,… I'll just close my eyes and wait till morn." Sasuke said.

"Kami…. Oh, by the way , Sasuke-kun…." Sakura smiled.

"Nani?"

"If you're not used with having someone sleep with you, what will happen when you get a family of your own, since you are gonna REVIVE the clan?! Of course you are going to sleep with your wife??" Sakura said.

"I can't sleep here in your bed but I can sleep with someone in a bed I'm in love with comfortably." Sasuke replied. GULP.

Ouch.

OUCH!!

(So that effin means you are not inlove with Sakura!?)

-- THE EASIEST ESCAPE? – TO PRETEND --

"Really?? I've never known you're such a romantic, Sasu-kun!!" Sakura shrieked happily. The easiest escape is to pretend you're not hurt. Pretend you're not torn.

"Get over it, Sakura." Sasuke kicked her mildly.

"OW!! STOP KICKING ME!!" Sakura said.

Silence once again.

xoxo

After closing their eyes, getting used to the other presence in the bed, they finally went to sleep. Sasuke having said something in the wrong time. Is it true or not true? Truth or bluff? Sakura finding the truth in an unconvential time. Pretending and trying to accept the truth.

IS IT TRUE?

I can't sleep here in your bed BUT I can sleep with someone in a bed I'm in love with comfortably.. (Sasuke to Sakura)

TRUTH OR BLUFF?

Hmm… Looks like there might be some problems arising now… Is it the end or is it just a lie to cover the true hidden feelings? We'll find out. Until next time, you know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl.
