CHAPTER 25

RECAP

I got into my room and plopped myself onto my bed and closed my eyes, I think I can accept Sasuke as a friend after what he did for me today I think it is my duty to make him my friend. That was what went through my mind as I fell into a deep sleep.

Sasuke's POV

It's been around a week since I last saw Aiyashi and I have been worried about her. What if she got hurt more then it seemed and she is in hospital right now with a serious case? The first few days she was away, I thought oh thank god she wasn't around otherwise I don't know how I would have confronted her about last time when I had lost my self control and nearly kissed her. But right now I really feel…. I guess the word is… lonely.

Now that I think about it the past few weeks that she had been here my days had been pretty eventful and entertaining. She seems to bring out the little boy in me, it kind of scares me that she has the ability to do things to me and make me feel things that I never thought possible.

As I continued to lose myself in these newly discovered facts, I felt tapping on my shoulder. I tried to focus back into reality, "Sasuke did you even hear a single thing I said?" Naruto asked exasperated. I shook my head making him sigh.

"I asked if Aiyashi is ok and if you've checked on her yet?"

I looked at Naruto, "what makes you think I would check up on her or know how she's doing?" I asked in a slightly irritating tone. 'I hope he buys my bluff, I mean if Naruto found out that I may potentially, maybe ..SLIGHTLY like her he will never let me live it down.

"Are you kidding me! Sasuke you may think that I'm dumb but you my good friend, are the dumbest."

I looked at Naruto surprised, what does he mean? Does that mean he knows I like Aiyashi? No he couldn't, Naruto's too dumb… right?

I just stared as Naruto walked away muttering things to himself.

Naruto's POV

"Sasuke is such an idiot! And he calls me a baka."I said as I glared at anything and everything that passed me by.

"Seriously when is he going to admit to himself that he really likes Aiyashi! He hasn't been talking to anyone since last week. I mean sure he used to be antisocial before Aiyashi came but now he's like super antisocial and he's been spacing out a lot too. I just hope Aiyashi gets wells soon and returns to school. 'Oh that reminds me, I should go check how she's doing. Sasuke is obviously not going to do it.'

"Sasuke is such an idiot. Seriously everyone can tell that he has feelings for Aiyashi everyone but him. I can't believe he calls me the idiot!" I said out loud annoyed.

Suddenly my mobile started ringing, I flipped it open and without looking at the caller ID smoothly put it to my ear.

"Wassup! Naruto here" I said enthusiastically

"Still the same old hyper Naruto I see.." the deep voice said from the other side of the phone.

It took me a few seconds to realize who was on the other side of the phone, "OH MY GOD DUDE! I haven't talked to you in ages! How's life bro and everything that comes with learning about how to take over the family business." This guy was my other best friend other than Sasuke.

"Yea its going alright, with the pros come the cons so you can't really do much about that. So anything interesting happen lately?" he asked

"HELL YEA! Sasuke is in LURV with the new girl…. Well actually she's not new anymore…she's more like…weeks old. " I started, slipping of topic and starting rambling to myself.

"Wait… did you just say Sasuke is in …..love?" he sounded half amused and half in disbelief.

"Yea I'm serious, I mean at first I thought it was just his way of annoying her because he would make her do things for him and they would go to and from school together. But then she got hurt and she hasn't come to school in around a week and Sasuke is more antisocial than ever!" I said really fast

"What's her name?"

"Her name is Aiyashi." Suddenly it just became extremely silent

"What happened to her do you know?" I thought I heard a tinge of worry in his voice, but maybe I was just imagining it.

"Ummm… well Sasuke said that he had found her all beaten up so I'm guessing…. Someone had hurt her…."

"Hey ummm… Naruto I have to go now I'll catch up with you later ok." I was about to reply and say goodbye when the line was cut. 'Well that was weird.."

After School 3rd Person POV

The bell rang and everyone packed up their books and started to head home as quickly as possible wanting to unwind from all the stress school causes. But two people were not as keen to get home as everyone else.

Sasuke was walking as slow as possible, he didn't really want to go home right now so he was thinking maybe he should go visit Aiyashi to check that she's ok. After all it's been more than a whole week and she still wasn't back. But if he went to visit her wouldn't it seem like there is more to it than just a simple visit, especially after that event that had happened when they last saw each other. That scene still plays in his head, the way her innocent dark chocolate eyes had stared at him not sure of what to do.

"Oh God." Sasuke sighs as he slides a hand through hair, he slowly walks not sure about his destination just letting his feet take him where ever.

Sasuke was really hoping the reason Aiyashi hadn't come to school yet was because she had a serious injury because the only other logical reason for why she wouldn't come to school was because she was embarrassed or hurt because of the last time they were together.

Sasuke really wanted to hit himself right now because seriously how could he have lost control of himself last time… it was all because of….. Aiyashi…. If it weren't for the way she was looking at him that day he would not have lost control. She had just looked so cute, she looked like a deer caught in headlights. "ARGH! Why couldn't I have controlled myself better!" he shouted in frustration.

Sasuke quickly looked around to make sure that no one was around when he noticed he was near Aiyashi's house. He decided he was going to check up on her and make sure she doesn't hate him. He started to jog slowly towards her house when he noticed Naruto entering her front gates.

'What the hell is Naruto doing here?' Sasuke quickly went and hid behind a tree, to try and listen or see what was going on. he had realized how stalkerish he must look right now but he really didn't care.

MEANWHILE AT THE DOOR

Naruto stood at the front steps waiting for someone to answer the door. Aiyashi opened the door to see Naruto standing there, "hey Naruto what's up?"

"Hey Aiyashi I just came to check if you were alright… and ummm when are you coming back to school ?" Naruto asked, he was hoping she would say tomorrow because he really didn't want his best friend to continue the way he was right now.

"Ummm I'll probably be going back to school tomorrow why?"

"No reason just that some people miss you…. Well actually someone misses you A LOT! His name starts with an S" he said wiggling his eyebrows and giving her a massive grin.

Aiyashi blushed not knowing what else to do, Naruto was probably just kidding, Sasuke probably hates her now! He probably thinks of her as one of his fan girls.

Dammit she can never show her face to him again and here she was ready to make him her friend….. no chance of that now…..

Infact she had decided that once she gets back to school she was going try and avoid him.

"Well anyways as long as your ok and your coming back to school tomorrow I'm happy. Well anyways see ya later" Naruto waved as he headed for her front gates.

Aiyashi stood at the door for a while watching Naruto leave, she couldn't' help but hope that Sasuke wasn't angry at her and hopefully would become her friend …..maybe even more…..just maybe.

A/N: is anyone even still reading this story? And do they want me to continue? Well …. There is someone or shall I say some…. Interesting people visiting next chapter.

Anyways have fun reading…
