CHAPTER 29

RECAP

'Man this teacher was scary! His called ibiki sensei and he is what you would imagine an army commando to be. He even has a massive scar across his face to prove it.

So the day ended and i headed home as quickly as possible with one task in mind, to avoid Sasuke Uchiha as much as possible, that was my aim for the next few weeks.

The past few days I've been hanging around with Gaara, Temari and Kankuro. Back in the days when I use to live near these three siblings we used to be best of friends and we still are but they always had this "piss of" look on their faces and this scared every kid away no one would talk to us or play with us. I use to really hate it but for the past few days I have been extremely grateful to them for being so scary because it means that I don't have to constantly think about avoiding a certain someone and his gang and even if we do cross paths he won't talk to me.

I don't know though, he seems really pissed off lately especially at Gaara and Kankuro. The first few days I had completely ignored him and made no eye contact but recently every time I look at him, I see him glaring at any boy that's next to me and right now that means Kankuro and Gaara.

I just don't understand Sasuke, Gaara and Kankuro don't even talk to him so how can he be mad at them? I'm not sure if it's my imagination but sometimes when Naruto talks to me I swear I see Sasuke's face harden. But then again when has his face ever been soft….? Whatever I sound like a stalker, I really am turning into a fan girl. I continuously stare at him and I even notice slight movements which is not the best way to go when trying to avoid being a fan girl.

Right now I'm sitting at a table with Temari, she seems really nervous which is not like her. She's even been dressing up actually putting effort into her appearance it's quite amazing. I wonder why though I have a hunch that it's because of a boy because she's done this before.

"Aiyashi I have something to tell you, I know you think I've been acting weird and I'm pretty sure you know why. So without further ado I shall show you."

'AHAH I was right!'

I was dying of curiosity about who this lucky guy could be to have caught Temari's attention but I decided to play dumb, "what are you talking about?" I gave an innocent look.

"Don't play dumb with me I can see the curiosity written all over your face."

I couldn't help it anymore, I gave a massive squeal as if I was a five year old who just got a massive lollipop. I was so happy she's finally found an interest.

"I can't wait to see this guy and give him the 'don't mess with her' talk" I said grinning from ear to ear.

"Don't worry he's coming our way right now." Temari said pointing behind my head.

I slowly turned my head to make the revelation of the person more dramatic but my entire body stiffened when I realised who I was looking at, it was the one person who I thought I didn't have to worry about bumping into. I looked at him, his deep onyx eyes which I still cannot forget. I tore my eyes away and sat back so that my back was turned to him and I was facing Temari.

"What do you think?" Temari questioned silently asking for my approval but I couldn't speak everything was blank, my mouth just would not move. I sat there silently looking down at the table my entire body frozen. I saw someone walk over and sit next to Temari and someone else come and sit next to me , I prayed from the bottom of my heart that it wasn't Sasuke who was sitting next to me I would die right here and now if it was.

"Aiyashi this is Shikamaru and that next to you is Sasuke."

'I think I just died.'

I decided to put my entire attention on Shikamaru so that I can forget about the person sitting next to me. I studied him, he looked pretty alright definitely unique which is Temari's type he's really smart as well but always bored and lethargic and Temari is the aggressive energetic type how does this work?

But then again you know what they say, "opposites attract." Not to mention they look quite nice together. A smile formed on my lips, she finally found someone and I think this is 'the' guy that she is looking for.

"I'm glad you've finally found someone." I said softly as a silly grin fell on my face.

"Well if it wasn't for you I would never have met him." Temari said wrapping an arm around Shikamaru's forearm. 'How does this have anything to do with me?' I was confused but I decided to ask her later.

"Hey Aiyashi your forgetting Sasuke. Sasuke this is Aiyashi, Aiyashi this is Sasuke" Temari said pointing at the respective people.

"that's what I was trying to do… forget him." I mumbled quietly to myself

I plastered a smile on my face and turned to him, "hi Sasuke, I haven't talked to you in a while."

"I wonder whose fault that is." I heard him say to himself

'IT'S ABSOLUTELY YOUR FAULT! If you hadn't said your forehead hurts I wouldn't have kissed it!'

I turned back to facing Temari, I puffed up my cheeks and pouted, 'what a jerk blaming it on me.'

Suddenly I felt something poking at my cheek, I looked through the corner of my eye to see Sasuke poking at it. 'What the hell is he doing?'

"Ummmm…can you stop." I looked at him incredulously, 'is he maybe on drugs?'

He stopped poking my cheek and then started with my arm, I decided to turn and face him. I grabbed his hands and placed them in his lap.

If only I had noticed how many people were watching what seemed to me as simple interaction.

Sasuke's POV

The past few days she's been absolutely ignoring me and I can't even get near her because of the three musketeers protecting her. Especially the two male ones, I just want to go up to them and punch them for being so close and because she gives them so much attention. Jealousy isn't something that I am accustomed to and it's really creeping me out the way I want to punch someone just for talking to her.

But I am SO happy that Shikamaru and that girl… Temari are together because now I'm given the chance to be near her without giving her an excuse to run away or avoid me because Temari will be with her which means Shikamaru will be with her which gives me the right to be with her as well. In truth I don't understand why she is avoiding me, I haven't even done anything…. Well not that I can think of.

Even though I am sitting next to her she was still ignoring me and the first thing she did say to me was, "hi Sasuke, I haven't talked to you in a while."

'No shit sherlock'

"I wonder whose fault that is." I said to myself but just loud enough so that she could hear it as well.

I'm pretty sure she had heard it because she turned away from me and pouted with her cheeks all puffed up. She looked so cute I couldn't help it I had to poke it. Every time I poked my finger at her cheek my finger just bounced back, her cheeks were so soft and smooth with a bounce. I just couldn't stop poking it.

"ummm… can you stop." She said annoyed

If only she knew how beautiful and soft her cheeks were even she wouldn't be able to stop poking it but I don't want her to get angry and completely ignore me so the next best thing to poking her cheek was poking her arm. That wasn't fun though, her arm isn't very squishy.

Suddenly she turned facing me and grabbed my hands putting them in my lap, I was too surprised to even argue. Just her touch made me freeze, my heart started pumping really fast but my lungs stopped working. I was about to grab her hand again so I could feel that sensation again but….

"Hey guys! Man I can't believe you've found a girl Shikamaru! And before me as well!" Naruto said coming up and standing right behind the gap between me and Aiyashi.

"Why is that surprising Naruto?" I said in a sickly sweet voice while giving him a murderous glare, he replied by sticking his tongue out

I wanted to punch him right there and then like never before, it's crazy what she can do to me when she's around but what really scares me is what I become when she's not around. Suprisignly though the dobe's antiques finally came in handy, a softy musical sound entered my ear from beside me. I turned to face the sound, my eyes wide, this is probably the first time I've actually seen or heard Aiyashi laughing.

I couldn't take my eyes of her.

She turned and looked at me and the sound automatically ended and her face went back to being coloured blank, I scrunched my eyebrows why did she stop just because I was looking at her? Does she really dislike me?

Through the corner of my eye I saw a pair of arms wrap around aiyashi from behind, I turned my body to see who I was going to have to smack now when my body started to boil.

This guy. I. Absolutely. Hate. This. Guy.

If I wanted to punch Naruto's face back then, I want to chuck this guy over a cliff right now! How does he even know her so well that he can put his arms around her and she won't do anything!

I couldn't take it anymore, I got up off my seat and started to walk away as far as possible. I have to clear my head and I have to get things straight.

MEANWHILE

A person stood in the corner watching Sasuke's retreating back, they decided it was time to end all this and now was the perfect chance, when Sasuke was extremely confused about everything. They quickly picked up their stuff and followed suit.
