-THE UCHIHA SWEETHEART-
Chapter 29! When Sasuke goes wild… it's a huge BOOM BOOMBASTIC!
Sakura woke up the next day with a nagging headache. With a groan and eyes clenched shut, she rolled to the other side, her arm and leg flinging forward, coming in contact with something warm. She sighed dreamily, hugging the warm thing.
So…warm and—
"Get off." Something growled. It sounded sexy… cold and dangerously close to her mouth.
"Huh?" her eyes snapped open in surprise and realized she was nose to nose with Sasuke who looked miffed.
"Do you mind getting off?" he growled.
"Eh…?" she looked down and blush at least 500 shades of red. Sasuke was lying on his back, face turned to her. Her was leg draped over his legs, her thigh over his lower abdomen…dangerously close to 'what is NOT supposed to be touched by a girl' and an arm across his chest.
"Now… if you're done staring— do you mind rolling off? You're invading my personal space." Sasuke snapped, eyebrows twitching as he felt her thigh twitch on top of his crotch.
Sakura looked up to him, blinking rapidly. Oh kami— she was almost on top of him and he…was…naked—
"AHHHHHHHHHH—"

Eye-catch! SD-Sasuke was sobbing in the bed, clutching a blanket around his chest to hide his nakedness. SD-Sakura came with a smug look and sat on the bed cross legged (like a man's) after zipping up her pants, "ne, don't worry, Sasu-chan, I'll marry you and be the mother of your children." SD-Sasuke sobbed louder, now beating the bed. SD-Sakura shook her head, buttoning her white long sleeve shirt. "oy, don't act there as if I raped you!" SD-Sasuke bawled and now beat his pillow. "Well," SD-Sakura grinned wickedly, looking at the camera. "I did force you in my bed but come on! You enjoyed it—"SD-Sasuke wailed louder than before rolling off the bed and falling on the floor with a loud crack.

Sakura shrieked (Sasuke cringed as he received the ear-splitting blood-curdling shriek straight in the face) before jumping off the bed ungracefully but her foot got tangled with the black bed sheet and she fell hard (really hard) on her front.
"Ommmffff!"
MY CHEST! MY CHEEEESSSSST— quickly, she pushed herself up to her hands and knees, crawling forward until she hit her head on the wall.
"What——"
"YOU'RE NAKED!" she screamed as she sat on her shins. Sasuke's first reaction was to lift the bed sheet up to his chest. Then he realized: why the hell did he do that?
Composing himself, Sasuke snapped a sharp smart-ass reply: "Idiot." Pause. Then a: "I will NEVER dream of sleeping naked next to you." He pushed the bed sheet down and stood up next to the bed, posture annoyed, a frown in place.
"I'm NOT an idiot!" Sakura screeched, her temper flaring up as she whirled around. Suddenly, she froze, eyes wide. He was naked! WOW! NO! (inner Sakura was walloping a tree) Not wow… Oh kami oh kami he was NAKED— Not really… really naked but—
"YOU HAVE NO SHIRT!" she shouted, scandalized, facing the wall again. Sasuke gritted his teeth, fighting off the blush attacking his cheeks.
"Moron. You threw up on my shirt." He retorted and went to his walk-in closet.
"Eh?" Sakura blinked. "I did?" she asked the wall.
Sasuke came out wearing loose black shirt. The pink-haired feisty girl was still making faces in front of the wall. His lip twitched upward in annoyance, watching her.
"Does your head hurt?" asked Sasuke, noticing her face contorting.
"Are you decent?" she snapped sharply.
"Idiot." He retorted. "Does your head hurt?"
Sakura carefully looked around, eyes narrowed, checking if he's really decent. She sighed upon seeing Sasuke dressed. Slowly, she turned to lean back against the wall. "Hai… it feels like it's gonna explode."
Saske crouched in front of her. "It should explode. You drank 5 bottles of sake."
"Wha——"
Sasuke flicked her forehead. "You won the challenge but you earned yourself a hangover."
She grinned despite the pain. "Yes! 300 yen from Ino-pig!"
"Hn. I thought Naruto's the only idiot in our team."
"U-CHI-HA!"
Sasuke shrugged indifferently.
Her features softened. "Ne, I'm sorry for throwing up on your shirt…"
Sasuke nodded, wanting to say that she should be sorrier for throwing up on his front door mat, spraying vomit all over the stairs, making a puddle of puke on his doorway and on his dark blue comforter. And of course… for howling her stupid song in his ear whilst carrying her…
"You also threw up on your blouse." He said, pulling his bed sheet free from her foot.
Her green eyes widened. "W-what——"
He frowned. "You vomited all over your shirt so I——"
"WHAT?"
"—changed your shirt."
Her eyes became larger than beach balls. "YOU WHAT?"
Sasuke scowled at her shocked expression. "I didn't enjoy the view." Sakura narrowed her eyes, growling and swelling like a saber-tooth cat. "Honestly," he added nonchalantly, raising his brows.
"You…" she began dangerously, pink hair standing on the end.
"You don't want to smell like puke, do you?" Sasuke asked defensively.
She growled, blushing furiously. "You should have woken me up!"
"You were NOT waking up." He smirked afterwards, aware of the reason of her being fierce. "Don't worry. I only used one eye."
Sasuke expected a BOOM or a BANG or at least a DIE! DIE! DIE YOU MACHO PIG! but instead she shouted: "IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE!"
"Plus, you weren't that gifted——" he added, shrugging apathetically.
At once, a huge force came down to his skull. BAM!
"JERK!" she hollered, clutching a mallet.
"Calm down," Sasuke snapped. "You weren't wearing a bra——"
Ops.
"WHAT!?" this time, a huge boulder fell atop his head.
"—damn it. Why don't you look down to yourself?" he retorted, rubbing his head (the boulder floated away). Sakura threw him a dirty look and peeked inside her white shirt. She was wearing a mesh undershirt with a strip of black cloth across her chest. The strip was held in place by a strap over her right shoulder. True, she wasn't wearing a bra. However, the mesh exposed her naked back and flat abdomen. The strip was only wide enough to cover her breasts.
Sakura looked up to him sharply who glared. "See?" he snorted. "There's nothing to stare at…"
"SAY WHAT!" she barked and crossed her arms, pouting disapprovingly. "What am I doing here in your room anyway?"
Sasuke shrugged, standing up and walked back to his bed to return the bed sheet in place. "You were clinging in my neck the whole time. I can't get you off."
Sakura blushed slightly. "Uh… thank you… Did I do something… uh, really stupid?"
Sasuke froze from lifting a pillow. Aside from the fact that she sang a stupid song about every little kid's superhero… and mumbling, crying all of a sudden and threatening him with a kiss… well, there's nothing stupider than asking him if he love her.
"…just the usual thing you do."
"WHAT! Are you saying that I'm stupid ALL THE TIME?" she shouted.
Sasuke shrugged. "Whatever. Just be quiet."
"Hmph." Pause. "Can I go back to sleep?" she asked timidly. Her head was still hurting and there was a feeling of nausea setting in.
"Go ahead."
"Thank you." Sakura slipped back in his bed and hugged a pillow.
"What are you doing?" Sasuke glowered.
"Going… to… sle… eep…" she replied between yawns.
"Not in my bed."
"Hmmm…" She sank to the comforts of his newly dried black Uchiha comforter… silk black bed sheets and black large pillows…
"Go to your room." Sasuke ordered.
"Your bed's warmer…" Sakura whispered, eyes closed.
"Sakura——"
"I feel safer here."
……
…
"Don't drool on my pillow."
"…baka…" Sakura whispered sleepily.

For a while, he watched her sleep, a black pillow tucked in her arms. Buried into a mass of black sheets and comforter with loads of black pillows around her, her paleness and pink hair stood out… a perfect contrast to his world of blacks and grays. Her color totally contradicted his colors, a clash between ivory and ebony.
Slowly, he sat down to his bed, facing the wall. A dark frown was set on his handsome face. As minutes ticked by, a darker look swept over his face. A tic developed, then a feeling of intense heaviness on his chest. The dark look mirrored his inner battle, a battle he was slowly losing.
Sasuke clenched his fists until veins popped out angrily. A headache was setting in as myriad of strong opposing emotions clashed against each other.
Anger.
Pain.
Fear.
Anxiety. Frustration. Hopelessness. Love. Love… Love. Hate. …hell, this is hell.
Kami, how on earth would he deal with this… madness? The emotions were getting out of hand. The emotions he carefully buried. And to think that he's not supposed to feed on his emotions… but big shit, realization had taken place— a big bang realization.
Realization…?
Shit. He was frozen for a while. Of course… Realization was to realize… and what did he realize?
The why and the what the fucking hell was wrong with him. Why the fuck he cares, why the hell it hurt, why the fuck he can't answer her 'do you love me' frigging question… why… why… why… why… it fucking hurt to look in her eyes.
"Shit." A bitter smirk crossed his face. This is fucking ironic.
He was the one who made that law.
The Universal rule: Don't fall in love with your best friend.
…that stupid, fucking rule.
It's a crime to fall in love with your best friend and the punishment is severe.
…and that stupid fucking consequence.
He never saw this coming.
Hell… he knew it from the start… he knew he was feeling something— it was there but he dismissed it… it was there but he refused to see it… to feel it.
He didn't know that his feelings would be this strong.
And now, he was experiencing its full blast. The weight was heavy— excruciatingly heavy. He had kept it for so long… and it was coming back to haunt him. To smack him in the face that…
"We are friends."
…
"Nothing more."
…
Hell.
Hell.
It was hell to feel all the opposing strongest emotions all at the same time.
"Shit…"
It hurt.
"…"
"Do you…love me?"
It hurt.
He rubbed his face, muttering 'shit'.
It fucking hurt.
He's an Uchiha.
I'm an Uchiha.
First rule: protect Sakura.
Protect her… give her everything… just… be a friend. Protect… Kill Itachi…Kill Itachi… be strong. Be strong. Shit. Shit. Give her everything. Give her EVERYTHING. Shit. Shit. Kill Itachi— that comes first— shit…
She was his priority…
…while he was just her option.
Second: Just protect her.
Damn it.
Third: hell… be friendly? Sure… thing.
But how…?
How can you stay friends with someone you have strong feelings for?
…
-
Eye-catch! SD-Sakura wearing an afro wig
-
-
Oh. Hell. Yeah.
Whatever shit he's feeling right now, one thing's for sure: he had to keep it secret from Sakura.
It's a crime to fall in love with your best friend and the punishment is severe.
He knew how severe it can get.
And if there's one thing he could not risk losing, it would be their friendship.
…
…
"…we will protect our friendship no matter what. I would not risk our friendship."
He always remembered those words.
"…our friendship… is what matters most to me."
Because it was those words he started to hate.
-
-
Angered, he stormed off the room and eventually (after cleaning the puke semi-lakes) out of the house.
-
-
"Uh… Sasuke?" The kick missed him by a hairbreadth. Naruto tried to put distance between him and Sasuke's foot as much as possible.
"Hn?" came a flat reply.
"Uh…" Naruto eyed him frowningly. "Are… you… awake?"
"Hn." A kunai was aiming for his lovely blonde nosey hairs. Naruto ducked rather ungracefully. But the blade was just a decoy.
BAM!
OWWW! That fucking hurts! Naruto mentally screamed. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" the blonde barked.
"Hn?"
"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?"
"Hn…"
Pissed, Naruto launched a full-speed attack. "Stop 'hn'ing, you smartass! Take this—"
BAM!
Naruto's fist smashed directly to Sasuke's left jaw. It was a direct hit… And Naruto was horrified. What the fuck! I hit Sasuke… in the FACE?
"Uh… Sasuke——" He didn't have the chance to finish his defense. He reeled back, clutching his ribs. "THAT FUCKING HURTS!" he screeched.
Sasuke straightened up, a cryptic look on his face. "You hit me. I hit you back." He said monotonously.
"Hit me back?! Are you really insane!?" Naruto raved.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "Just fight me."
"What's your problem!?"
"Shut up. Fight me."
"Sasuke——"
"Or I'll kill you."
Naruto gave an ultra theatrical super gasp. "YOU'RE GOING NUTS!"
Sasuke narrowed his eyes to the point Naruto cannot tell if he's awake or not.
"You're trying to kill me!" The blonde pointed out hysterically.
Sasuke blinked. "I am?"
"YES!" Naruto replied between gritted teeth. "If you're EMOTIONALLY fucked up——" (Sasuke cringed horribly at this.) "—don't kill me! Kill someone else!"
After a moment, Sasuke said: "Hn." Then he turned around, hands in pocket as he walked away. Naruto gaped.
"OI! Where are you going?"
"Find someone else to kill." He replied as if it was just an 'I'm going to look for an orange pig' or 'look for Barney' kind of thing.
"What! Hey——"
"Do you want me to kill you?" Sasuke asked suddenly, stopping from his steps.
"You ass! You will never ever beat me——"
Sasuke threw him a dark red look.
"—and yes, I don't want to die!" Naruto added hurriedly.
Sasuke nodded. "Hn." He raised a hand casually and continued on his way. Naruto was left, gaping.
"That was weird." He mumbled. "What's his problem?! Hmph! Maybe he got a whole tree jammed up in his ass!"
But, he later mused, that was really scary. Scary, it really was. But he'd rather die than admit it. The Uchiha was obviously upset with something… something extremely emotionally taxing. Naruto knew Sasuke like the back of his hand. The stoic boy is a highly efficient, intelligent ninja but… there's one tiny flaw.
For a boy who can destroy a battalion of enemy ninjas with his exceptional pyro-techniques, he has an awful emotional capacity of a teaspoon. Whatever tortured him right now… Naruto was sure it was his emotions.
Raging emotions, he was sure. To feel all those emotions he wasn't accustomed with… or emotions he never wanted to feel ALL at the same time… Sasuke-baka will explode! Naruto concluded.
But… what is he feeling, anyway?
Pouting, Naruto trotted towards Ichiraku. An upset Sasuke can kill ANYONE who dare cross his path. So as of the moment, he had to avoid rubbing elbows with him. He had to keep his mouth shut all the time especially when Sasuke's within hearing range. Who knows, the Uchiha might gouge his precious blue eyes out and play baseball with it.
Naruto shook his head, sighing. He actually pitied the person who stupidly agreed to spar with the bombastic Uchiha Sasuke.
God bless his soul.
-

Sasuke DID find stupid someone to spar with or in Sasuke's terms, someone to kill.
Both fighters sprung back, clutching their kunais.
"Interesting. This is the first time you asked me to spar, Uchiha."
Sasuke shrugged. "You're my last choice." He answered lifelessly.
Neji smirked. "Getting bored with Naruto?"
"Why don't you shut up?" Sasuke snapped instead, getting really aggravated. FIGHT ME YOU BASTARD. Sasuke brought out his Sharingan while Neji activated his Byakugan.
"You have a serious attitude problem, Uchiha."
Sasuke smirked. "You fucking talk a lot, Hyuuga." He crouched low and attacked. Neji dodged the foot coming for his face and almost got hit when Sasuke swung his fist. Neji noticed that Sasuke's movements were rough and at random. It was almost careless.
Curious as to why it seemed that the usual stoic composed Uchiha was looking so damn fucked up, Neji scanned Sasuke's chakra system. His brows shot up. Intersting… Sasuke's chakra, dangerous and uncontrollable, was behaving wildly, running in different directions, extremely fast.
What the hell is wrong with this asshole? He avoided another solid punch that will break his cheekbone. Sasuke was getting careless and careless, his movements fast and deadly. It looked like the Uchiha was letting out all his distressing emotions—
Click.
Finally. He got it.
He's upset.
—and he's using him as the object to vent all his emotions. Shit. What is this? Anger management?
Finally, Sasuke was able to hit Neji. Neji hit back and Sasuke grunted and at once, his whole body radiated with electricity. Neji eyed him with curiosity.
A chidori coming out of his whole body? Composing himself, he remarked, "You're upset."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "What?"
"You're angry. Anxious, more like."
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Sasuke snarled.
"Your chakra system is going haywire."
Sasuke's scowl deepened, his face getting darker.
"Your emotions are in chaos. It made your chakra shooting up everywhere." Neji continued as Sasuke kept scowling. "Emotions can directly influence your chakra operation."
……
…
"In summation," he stopped for a dramatic effect. "You're going crazy."
"SHUT the hell up!" the Uchiha snapped, pissed and offended at being called crazy. Was he really this emotionally fucked up? "Are you stupid?"
Neji shrugged. "I didn't know that you're emotional."
Snap. He curled his fists in anger. "I'll show you emotional, baka!" Sasuke, obviously, became more upset. Neji readied himself. He finally realized that he should not have accepted this crazy dude's invitation to spar. Now, he got to deal with an upset almost lunatic Uchiha who only wanted his head on a platter.
Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!
"Shit." Neji must be seeing things.
It was a huge fireball.

Naruto happily slurped his noodles.
"Haha! I wonder what happened to Sasuke-baka's poor victim——"
BOOM!
Naruto fell back from his stool. "What the hell!" he rushed out from the ramen stand and saw an extremely huge fireball shooting up from the forest.
"Oh no."
Really oh no.
