Book 2: Chapter 5:

Lost Under the Heavy Rain


There is this awkward silence enveloping the four of them, they are currently seating across each other, Naruto is the one who does the talking while Itachi as being polite as he is, sharing and talking to Naruto, while Nozomi was just looking at Sasuke with sadness in her eyes. While Sasuke look serious and just looking at his side to avoid Nozomi's gaze. "So, your Sasuke's girl friend." Itachi started breaking the awkward silence.

Naruto nodded, "Yeah, I am." She said as she took her seat beside Sasuke while she distributes their share of pizza. "And your name is?"

"Oh, I am Naruto Namikaze."

.

"So you're the infamous Naruto Namikaze that I've been hearing from Neji." Itachi said while smiling. "Oh, really what do you want now with her? You want to steal her away too?" Sasuke interrupt rudely his eyes blazing in anger.

.

"Sasuke." This is the first time Naruto see how angry Sasuke was to his brother.

.

"Sasuke stop talking to me like that." Itachi said sternly there is this very awkward and dangerous aura can be sense in the air. "Are they going to fight? This is not the right timing for this I have to do something before it's too late."

.

"I will talk to you the way I want to…so after you eat just go home if you don't mind my girl friend and I wanted privacy if you know what I mean." Sasuke said as he stood up from his seat.

.

"Sasuke, wait where you going?" Naruto asked as she stood up to her seat.

.

"To my room going to take a bath, I am not going out of the room not until the visitor's went home. It was really enraging to see people you don't want to see." Sasuke said darkly while he slammed the door shut behind him.

"But, Sasuke."

"Just let him be…" Nozomi said for the first time.

.

"Nozomi…are you alright?" Itachi asked worriedly

.

"Let's go Itachi-kun I just have to talk with Sasuke-kun in private." Nozomi said making Naruto look at her. "She is going to talk with Sasuke privately?" Naruto started to feel anxious why she has to talk with Sasuke alone. Why does she have to push herself to her boy friend? She doesn't get it at all."

.

"Itachi-kun, can you go first in the car for awhile don't worry I will follow you I just wanted to talk with Naruto-chan." Understanding what Nozomi wanted him to do. He reluctantly went out of the unit leaving the two girls behind.

.

"Nozomi-chan, I."

"Naruto-chan, I just wanted to tell this to you…I won't give Sasuke up." Nozomi said with seriousness in her voice. "What does she talking about? If I remember correctly she is the one who leave Sasuke behind."

.

"He is mine from the very beginning, till the end I won't give up…I love Sasuke I love him more than you do and no one can stop me to get what I want…" Nozomi continued giving Naruto a criticizing look.

"What's this feeling? It was as if I cannot breathe, why does she have to be like this…what is this feeling? As if something will happen…"

"I love Sasuke, and I will steal him away from you that's a promise Naruto-chan."


.

"What's this feeling? Why I am feeling this, no that won't happen…I won't let her tear us apart…"

.

Naruto, brought back out of her thoughts when someone tapped her shoulder from behind when she turned around she saw Shinn.

.

"Shinn, what's up?"

Shinn smiled down to Naruto before he takes a seat beside her at the lounger, "I should've be the one to ask you that, what's up Naruto?

I heard to Sasuke that Itachi and Nozomi visited you two at his pad. Is that the reason why you're feeling so melancholy?"

.

"You Know, I can hear the warning bell again." Shinn said while Naruto smile half-heartedly.

"I have to let this out, Shinn can you keep this a secret from Sasuke you have to promise me." Naruto said pleadingly she was really feeling anxious and she needed to tell someone before she explodes into thousands of pieces.

.

"OKAY, Naruto you can count on me."

.


Yuki lazily lay down on the couch putting his two arm underneath his head, "AAH, its sooo boring! We cannot do anything but to stay inside the school because it's raining!"

.

Neji grinned slyly, he have a better idea to make their day more interesting than to watch the raindrops from above them, "Then Yuki do you want me to call Susie-chan to make your life not that boring." Yuki immediately stood up from his place lifting an accusing finger to Neji, "Stop joking around Neji! Don't influence me like that!"

Neji cocked his eye brows, "Me?, influence you." Yuki nodded, "Yup, it's because your 5 months older than me so that made you the influencer and I am the influence-e!" this comment made Neji stifle his laughter, "You know Yuki that was the dummiest thing I ever heard from you! hahaha."

.

"I cannot believe that I have a hentai-thinker friend!"

Yuki pouted, "Na! Stop laughing at me will yah! It's true!" Neji stopped from laughing and look seriously to Yuki, "What?" Yuki frowned he looks like he's gonna cry any time soon.

.

(A/N: Poor Yuki)

"Yukinojo, your grounded for the whole month!" Neji said trying to mimic the voice of Yuki's father making the younger Toyama Yukinojo pale.

.

"EH!" Yuki's eyes widen in horror.

.


"So that what happen." Shinn said while staring down at his coffee playing at the contents of it while he finished listening to Naruto. "I am scared what if Nozomi really mean all what she said what will happen to Sasuke and I?." Naruto said looking at her folded hands clenching her fist so tight anxiously.

.

"Don't worry Naruto I know Sasuke he won't let Nozomi ruin things out…and as what I've heard from you…Nozomi is not that kind of a girl…to steal a guy who has girl friend already but I think she is really desperate now." Shinn said deeply there is this deep meaning when he said Nozomi is very desperate.

.

"But why should've she feel desperate, what for?"


.

"Are you sure you don't want to ride with us? It's raining hard out here." Neji queried while looking up at the dark cloudy horizon a very heavy droplets of water pouring down. "Yeah, Naruto-chan, go with us…" Yuki added opening the window on his side from inside the car.

.

Naruto shook her head, "No, Sasuke said he would fetch me so I will wait for him here."

.

"Oh, Sasuke? He didn't go to school today do you know why?" Yuki asked while frowning "It was really disappointing I really want to show him the new game I discovered…"

.

"Na, Yuki you would've just bore Sasuke to death if you want him to play curling… you idiot!" Neji said lazily while yawning damn he is tired teasing Yuki to the fact that their younger friend totally cry in front of him.

"YADA! CURLING is the best game! I love it! You will love it too Neji! It's cool!" Yuki protested anime style making the driver aka. Shinn, Neji and Naruto sweat drop.

.

"Oh, well then we have to go Naruto-chan see you tomorrow!" Neji said while winking at Naruto, "Yeah Naruto-chan be careful!" Yuki waved good-bye to her while Shinn gave her a reassuring smile before he drove his car away.


.

Naruto sighed deeply as she seat at the bench in front of the Konoha School Entrance, She is the only one left there except for the guards patrolling the whole area of the grand school, "So now I have to wait here…" Naruto look at her wristwatch it says 4:30.

.

"That baka really is late! He said he would pick me up 4:00 where is he already? I cannot go home through walking because I left my umbrella at home…arg I should've let those guys bring me home!" Naruto thought dejectedly while looking at the heavy rain pouring down the floor.

.

"The rain is too heavy…I wonder when will this rain sto— Gasped" Naruto trailed off when someone from her behind covered her mouth, Naruto tried to break free from the assaulter's hold but she was overpowered. The guy from her back is excessively strong. She tried to struggle, to shout for help but still nothing happen. Suddenly the hands keeping her from shouting removed on her mouth only to replace by a handkerchief…it was not an ordinary handkerchief. In it, there is a drug that made her mind spinning her eyes started to become heavy and her world started spinning and soon find herself losing consciousness, a total darkness envelopes her completely.
