But... Who? - Chapter 013

"Kankurou the Puppeteer Vers."

It's not a surprise when I discovered the couple. Since kids, they were together. Even Gaara couldn't compete with Sasuke when it comes to Naruto. Sasuke has shown his possessiveness toward Naruto since kids. He would send his Uchiha's death glare to whomever dare to touch Naruto. He even declared that Naruto is his, when they were kids, of course. It's funny if I have to remember about Sasuke being possessive toward Naruto, and claiming that Naruto is his. Sasuke sent his death glare toward Gaara who in turned, gave Sasuke his deadpan look and left, murmured things about idiot being possessive, Naruto is not a thing, and something along the way.

How I discovered the two as a couple?

I was a junior in university, a freshman. My hair had gotten longer so I have to cut it short. I went to a beauty salon where my sister went to take her part time job. I could get discount from there, not free, man, since at that time my sister was just a part timer there, not the owner since she was still in high school, but she promised me if I went there, the time she fulfilled her dream of making one, I would be charge free, hehehe...

So I went at where she worked to get a new haircut. The time I arrived, surprisingly on the waiting line were Naruto and Sasuke. The salon was slightly full so I guessed that we have to wait and the waiting line actually just the three of us. I made myself to sit next to Sasuke, near the entrance and Naruto on Sasuke's other side. Naruto grinned at me, the sign of acknowledge of my presence when I say hi. Sasuke just nodded, typical.

"Just wait for another three minutes and these three will be done." The staffs said. They already knew us since this occurrence was always happening. Naruto would get a new haircut at where Temari worked and Sasuke would be dragged along with him so to say it, it was the four times we met at that place.

The three of us nodded. Naruto with his bright personality, me with my smile, and Sasuke… Well, with his blank expression as per usual. Kind of remind me of a certain someone with red hair and tattoo on his forehead but who...

Okay back to the current situation. Few minutes after the woman said that, she smiled and just then three girls who were occupying the seats, stood up.

"Okay, done. Now, the three of you." She said and the three of us stood up. I noticed how the three girls who kept us on the waiting line giggling whilst glancing toward the mighty Uchiha Sasuke, who in turned, just ignored the poor girls.

I rolled my eyes at that and took a seat, surprisingly between Sasuke and Naruto. The place only had three seats available to cut hair and stuff.

"Where is Temari?" I asked to one of the staffs.

The one who in charge on Sasuke answered, "She will be taking the evening's sift.

I nodded at the information. We said what we wanted with our hair before they started, except Sasuke. I looked at my left side and the woman was starting to do his nails. Guess he still hated the idea of others touching his hair. Such a duck butt style, what's so special about it? I shrugged and grabbed the magazine on the table in front of me and started reading it. Not particularly reading it but more like scanning it.

"What's your name, again?" I heard husky voice asked. Immediately I averted my eyes from the magazine to my right.

"Usuratonkachi, what are you plotting?"

Oh, that nickname again.

Sasuke said irritated. It sounded like what, jealousy? This is Naruto, asking one of the staffs name. I looked from Naruto to Sasuke, who was sending a really scary glare toward the blonde beside me. His glare reminded me of a certain someone with red hair and tattoo on forehead.

"Ignore that bastard. So, what is your name again?" I looked at my right again. It was like I was at the ping pong match.

"I... It's Lisa." Now she kind of reminded me of Neji's cousin. I looked on the mirror and finally I could watch the two without breaking my neck. I looked at Sasuke's even deadly glare he sent toward the down-casted woman who was holding strands of blonde hair on left hand and scissor on right hand, blushing.

I smirked. I admitted it that Sasuke's very presence was really intimidating. Let alone his glare. If I was a girl, I would stutter, too.

"Beautiful name!"

"Usuratonkachi."

Oh, Sasuke's voice had turned lower. The woman behind me shuddered, by how I felt her fingers shook a little on my head and the reflection on the mirror. Naruto seemed unfazed by Sasuke's low voice. The woman named Lisa, who was holding the scissor, her knuckles turned white, maybe from holding it too tight. The woman in charge of Sasuke's nails was shaking a bit by how her fingers trembled.

Really, what was Sasuke's problem?

I watched from the mirror as the woman who was in charge on Sasuke's nail was about to apply the transparent nail polish on Sasuke's first nail. I was aware by the trembling of her finger, she wouldn't apply it right.

"Ah! I am sorry!"

Just as what I thought.

I looked at Sasuke's eyes to see him sending a very dangerous glare on the poor woman who was kneeling before him. She carefully fixed her mistake, although it was not a big deal, really. The nail polish was transparent but well, the Uchiha might be on his period.

She cleaned his nail carefully with her still trembling finger.

"If you are going to do my nails like that, just stop." Sasuke said oh-so-very dangerous. He was beyond irritated over Naruto asking someone's name.

"You prick! I shouldn't have brought you with me!" Naruto half-yelled. I eventually raised my eyebrow but said nothing.

"If I know that you are going to ask everyone's name you met, then yes, I should come as well."

Oh, what's happening?

"I'm just being nice, that's all. What's your problem?"

Yeah, what's his problem?

Sasuke eventually fell silent.

"So Lisa, are you new here?" Naruto said with his smile.

Sasuke growled.

Poor Lisa.

"Y... Yes..." She eventually continued to cut Naruto's hair.

"Hurry up and we are going." Sasuke informed to Naruto.

"Take your time, Lisa..." Naruto said easily, still smiling. Lisa turned red, knuckles white. Sasuke sent Lisa his Uchiha glare. Seriously, what's Sasuke's problem? Naruto is a flirtatious. He even flirts with the trees, I swear. I saw it once.

Sasuke is possessive over Naruto since diapers. It's not like they are couple that now that they are grown up now is it?

"Usuratonkachi, I swear..."

"You swear what, jerk? Fuck you, you prick!"

I don't know what happened to that words that came out from Naruto's mouth that resulting of Sasuke's smirk to appear ever so smugly. "It's the other way around."

What?

I looked at Naruto's very... very red face. It was so red from his neck, face, up to his ears, whilst at the same time was sending his glare which could rival the Uchiha.

I heard gasps.

...behind me and beside me, the staffs...

I looked at Sasuke on the mirror, who was still smirking smugly.

Oh.

So that was where I knew that they are couple.

It is not like I ever imagined the two of them to be together as couple in that way. But when I knew the two of them as couple, somehow, I didn't feel surprise. Why? Sasuke had been possessive over Naruto and Naruto always blushed whenever Sasuke teased him, and Sasuke never tease people.

AN : Speechless, lol
