Chapter 11: Year Two: Consequences of Karma
Year Two has officially begun… remember that ice cream thing with Sasuke? I found out from my mom that he carried me home (which is incredibility sweet of him and a little unusual) that day and no one ever talked about it since. Everyone knew Sasuke would Chidori their asses if they said a word.
"NARUTO!"
"What did I do now?!"
"You just spilled my drink on me, you idiot!"
"How?!"
"When you started to scream and wave your arms around for no reason!"
"There's a reason…someone dropped a free coupon to Ichiraku's…"
"NARUTO?!"
Today was the beginning of year two in high school. The gang was at lunch and were we eating peaceful—ok, just kidding…we were arguing. Naruto suddenly starts waving and screaming for joy and his arms just happened to wave by my drink and it spills right on my shirt.
…and what made me even madder is that he did it because of a free coupon to Ichiraku Ramen. Sometimes I wonder why I consider him my best friend…
"I'm sorry, Sakura-chan! It was an accident!" he begged for mercy.
"You will pay for this…Naruto…" I glared at him and he shivered in return.
"W-What are y-you gonna do…?" he asked as he stuttered like Hinata.
"You'll find out eventually…" I replied mischievously and gave him an evil grin.
"Sakura-chan…please stop doing that…it's scaring me…"
"I want to scare you, Naruto…"
He was shivering like crazy, knowing that whatever I was going to do to him wasn't good.
I laughed evilly and smiled, "It's alright, Naruto…it won't be that bad…"
He laughed nervously, "If you say so, Sakura-chan…"
"Sakura…"
I turned to look at Kiba and yelled, "What do you want?!"
"I just wanted to say—"
"Shut up! I was talking to Naruto!"
"I was just going to say that your shirt is see-through…"
I paused.
--
"Why the hell didn't you guys tell me?!" I shouted from outside of the lunchroom.
Tenten took a few steps back, "We're sorry, Sakura, but I didn't notice…"
"Me either…" Ino agreed but looked away from me.
"Also I…I'm sorry, Sakura-chan…" Hinata looked down at her feet.
"Sorry but Gaara wanted more juice so my attention was taken," Temari apologized.
I sighed, "Do you know if anyone else saw?"
Tenten smirked, "Well…"
I glared, "What?"
"There was one person…"
My attention was completely taken when she said those words. My ears started to perk up and I was so interested. Tenten knew and her smirk grew even wider.
I hesitated to let out just one word, "Who…?"
Ino looked at Tenten and shook her head, "Who do you think, Forehead?"
I looked her clueless, "Who?"
Everyone shook their heads. Temari even smacked her forehead and sighed deeply, "Ah…Sakura…"
"What?"
"Sakura…it was Sasuke!" Tenten screamed out of annoyance.
"Sasuke was what?!"
"Staring at you…"
"He was staring at my shirt?!"
"Yes…"
"That was see-through?!"
"Yes…"
"I'm gonna kill him!"
I started to walk away from the four girls furiously. My feet were leading me back to the lunchroom where Sasuke was going to meet his maker. My footsteps were stomping on the ground so hard that I could create an earthquake and people could feel it from the other villages.
That damn Uchiha is gonna get it! That pervert!
Well…I think it's romantic…
-x-
Normal POV
"Tenten-chan, was Sasuke really staring at Sakura-chan's 'see-through' shirt?" Hinata asked.
Tenten giggled, "Nah! I was just kidding! I wanted to see how Sakura-chan reacted! Did you see the look on her face?!"
The three other girls sweat dropped in response but Ino still giggled.
Tenten nodded proudly, "Yes…I am good!"
-x-
"Damn you, Uchiha! Damn you!" I screamed right in his face…in front of everyone.
It's not like I cared. People just always have to pay attention to other people's businesses and don't mind their own. It bugs me to say the least. Who cares if I was shouting at the hottest guy in school? I didn't.
"What the hell, Sakura?!" he shouted right back at me.
"Don't act like you know nothing! You know exactly what the hell I'm talking about!"
Sakura! Stop yelling at our future husband!
"Well…I don't know what you're talking. Care to explain?" Sasuke sat right back down after screaming at me. He just looked at me calmly and he seemed to be cooled down.
But I sure as hell wasn't…
I gritted my teeth. How dare he?!
"Don't mess with me, Uchiha?! I know what you did and you do too! So don't say you don't know what I'm talking about!"
"I don't know what you're talking about?" he smirked.
Realization hit me and I noticed that he just repeated what I had just said.
I paused then glared at him again, "Ugh!" I screamed (or more like roared), "Sasuke, stop making me go crazy! Just tell me already, damn it!"
"I seriously don't know what you're talking about."
I sighed, "You have got to be kidding me…"
"No."
"Sakura-chan…why are you acting so weird?" Naruto asked.
I started to growl and the fire in my eyes started to increase, "I'm gonna get her…"
"Eh?"
"Who?" Neji asked.
My anger calmed down for a bit and as I noticed who asked the question.
Uh-oh…
Don't tell Neji!
Neji is just as over protective to Tenten as Hinata. Last time I threaten to kill Tenten, Neji almost killed me. He also threatened to dye my hair a more normal color like brown or black which seriously creep me out. Whenever I threatened Tenten, I made sure Neji wasn't around or else I was dead. I also made sure Tenten wouldn't tell Neji or I would definitely ruin her life. She knew I had a ton of embarrassing moments of her that she couldn't afford to let anyone know.
"Oh! It's no one, Neji!" I panicked. "I'm just being crazy! Go back to eating!"
Everyone at the table was looking at me strangely…well, actually, everyone was…
"I SAID GO BACK TO EATING?!" I screamed.
Everyone turned their heads to their own food and began eating once again.
Just as I told them!
My next plan was to get back at Tenten for completely embarrassing myself in front of everyone, but most importantly Sasuke. I feel so bad for accusing him like that. So Tenten was gonna get it for sure. The question was…how?
--
"Ino, I need to talk to you about something…" Shikamaru mentioned all of a sudden.
We all looked at him and we were sorta shocked for a moment. For the passed thirty minutes, Shikamaru has done nothing but stare at the clouds and he seemed lost in thought. We were in Gai-sensei's class but he was out of the training grounds due to a meeting with Tsunade. Lee was still training and punching his fist in the air like always, waiting for his youthful sensei to return. Everyone just sat down and took a break.
Ino looked at him, "About what?"
Shikamaru then sighed and looked at us, "Could you guys leave us alone for a while?"
Choji, Kiba, Temari, Naruto, Tenten, and I smirked.
Then he sighed again, "So…could you guys leave now?"
We chuckled and left them.
--
"Maybe we should send bugs in to spy on them?" Shino suggested.
"How can they tell you what happened? They can't talk! It won't work!" Kiba said.
"How about we send one of my shadow clones?" Naruto asked.
"Are you kidding?! You're clones are just as loud as you are!" I shouted.
"That hurt, Sakura-chan…"
"I know! We should—" and just as Temari was going to say her brilliant plan, she was cut off by a scream.
We all turned to the direction of the scream and found something unusual…
"Uhhh…Shikamaru…what are you doing…?" I asked.
"N-Nothing…" he stuttered a little.
From the sight we were looking at… "Nothing," wasn't the answer we were looking for.
"Shikamaru…why are you on top of Ino-chan…?" Choji asked as he pointed toward them.
This is awkward…
"It's not what you think?!" Ino tried to explain.
"I was just thinking about ramen…" Naruto mumbled.
I punched Naruto and said, "What exactly are you two doing…?"
"Well…a big, huge, scary, poisonous bug was flying toward me to sting me and it was just before Shikamaru was going to tell me something and I panicked. He pushed me down to protect me and it stung him instead."
We all sweat dropped and looked at Shino. He shrugged at us and looked at Kiba, "And you said it wouldn't work."
Kiba glared at him, "All it did was make Nara go on top of Ino…ok, ignore what I just said…"
"Hmph…" Shino shook his head.
"Uhhh…Shika-kun, can you get off me?" Ino asked. She was uncomfortably lying under Shikamaru.
"Wait…what did you call me?"
"Oh…shit…"
--
Turns out that bug that stung Shikamaru wasn't poisonous and Shino somehow made it seem like it was by strengthening his chakra. After that scene with Shikamaru and Ino, Shikamaru eventually got off of Ino but in front of everyone, Shikamaru (surprisingly) crashed his lips onto Ino's and they were off in their own little world. All of us just stood there, with our mouths hanging open and look dumbfounded thinking "What the hell just happened?"
The kiss got kinda serious so Choji had to break them up. Shikamaru got pissed at him and called him, "Troublesome." They were blushing like crazy and panting heavily since they kissed for so long. I knew she was in love with him this whole time. Sasuke was just a tool for jealousy.
"So you knew this whole time?"
"Yup…"
"When?"
"It was when we first enrolled at the academy. I saw you giving him one of those stares. You know the one you use when you have a crush on someone."
"I gave him that?"
"Yup."
--
"Neji! Neji! Neji!"
"What?!"
"I-uh- accidentally cut myself!"
"You what?!"
"I…accidentally cut myself…"
"Why would you do that?!"
"I was training with Lee and he—"
"He what?!" Neji took Tenten's hand and examined it. He looked at her hand to find the cut.
"He pushed my kunai—"
"Tenten…you drew the blood stain with a red marker?"
Tenten sighed, "I told you it wouldn't work, Naruto!"
We came out from the trees behind them and sighed. Naruto yawned, "Why does everyone always scream at me…? Oh well…"
Since Neji always trains by himself, we wanted to convince him to train with Tenten but apparently we all took Naruto's idea. "Plan: Make Neji Angry At Lee So Tenten Can Train With Neji Forever!" (which was the dumbest idea we had all day) and tried it out…like the idiots we are.
"Naruto! Ugh!"
"Tenten, what's going on?" Neji asked her.
"Ummm…" she started as a blush appeared on her face.
"What?"
"Hold on! I'm trying to think of a way to convince you to train with me! So shut up!" Tenten shouted and got back to thinking. She paused for a second, "Wait…did I just say that out loud…?"
Neji nodded slowly.
Tenten turned her back away from him and looked at us girls, "Oh my geez…" I hear her whisper.
"Tenten, I'll train with you."
"Ok…I understa—wait…you will?!"
He sighed, "Yes…"
I could see her try to conceal her squeal of joy but it failed. Neji even chuckled at it.
He smirked, "Let's start." He triggered his Byakugan on.
We all went wide-eyed for second or maybe even a couple of minutes. Tenten was just so happy she didn't even notice.
Wait! Is Neji—
Are all guys disgusting?!
--
"Ichiraku Ramen! Ichiraku Ramen!" Naruto cheered as he walked beside Hinata. "I'm finally gonna spend that free coupon!"
Hinata smiled and was twiddling her fingers like always, "That's good, Naruto-kun…"
He stopped and looked at Hinata, "Don't worry, Hinata-chan! I'll pay for your bowl."
She started to blush again, "T-Thank y-you…"
"Naruto! Don't forget to pay my bowl also! Besides! I didn't forget what you did earlier today!" I screamed.
"I-I didn't, S-Sakura-chan!" he scratched the back of his head.
--
"Hey wait a minute…this coupon looks familiar…" Naruto said through his slurps.
We arrived at Ichiraku's and sat down, eating ramen peacefully…until Naruto had to talk.
"What is it, Naruto…?" I asked.
"Well, I remember losing this coupon before…yeah…I think I lost it at school—Oh wait! Now I remember! The free coupon that someone dropped was mine!" he giggled.
Now I was pissed…
"You mean…you got excited over your own coupon…"
He laughed, "I guess you're right!"
"And…you spilled my own drink on me…because of that stupid coupon…"
"Yeah! I guess you're right!"
"And now…you know you're dead, right…?"
"Yeah! I guess you—what?!" he screamed and fainted onto Hinata's lap.
"S-Sakura-chan…N-Na-ruto-kun is h-heavy…" she blushed and was trying not to faint.
"You're welcome, Hinata-chan! Don't worry…I'll pay for my own bowl. Besides…when he wakes up, he'll be in your arms." At this, Hinata had to blush. "Oh! Don't forget to tell him this was payback for spilling my drink on me."
She finally fainted with Naruto sleeping peacefully— I mean drooling in her arms.
I smiled, feeling so accomplished. Then I looked at the old man in front of me, "Yes?"
"Your bill?" he asked.
"Oh yeah…here," I handed him the money and I looked at Naruto and Hinata again, "Oh…um…Naruto and his girlfriend will be staying here longer than usual so please watch over them."
Ichiraku nodded and then looked confused, "Naruto has a girlfriend?"
I nodded my head nervously, "Uhhh…yeah? Naruto just asked her out today! See!" I pointed at them, "Aren't they cute?"
"Wow…I never thought he had it in him…"
He doesn't.
"Ok, so I'll be leaving now! Bye!" and I ran away as far as I could.
--
It felt like I was running for my life and that's exactly what I was doing. I think it was karma…
The more I tried to run faster, I grew tired every time. I think they were catching up and I was exhausted. I couldn't take this anymore. The cries of terror and threats grew and more people came to chase after me and more kept joining. I was extremely outnumbered.
"Get back here, Haruno?!" was their usually taunt or even a, "Come on! Face us!"
They had to be kidding me if they wanted me to face all of them at once. There was like a thousand of them!
Suddenly I tripped over my own feet and I fell…face forward. I was hoping that I wasn't going to be clumsy again but my hopes have been crushed.
I heard laughing in the background which wasn't good...they had caught up with me.
"What now, pinky? You will pay for what you did!" one of them shouted.
"Which is?"
"Bitch, you know what you did!"
"Huh?"
"Don't play stupid!"
"What?"
"Shut up!"
"Eh?"
"Are you deaf?"
"No."
"Then listen to us!"
"No."
Suddenly, every single one of those terrifying girls (that wanted to see me tortured) turn the other direction and in a blur, all these kunais and shurikens come flying my way.
Oh crap! Run!
