Looking over his shoulder, I then realized that Sasuke's backpack was on the floor of the roof, and my eyes spotted that there was also some stuff that had spilled out of it, making me immediately break the hug.
"Wow, you made your backpack vomit! Geez, you're so clumsy... Let me pick everything up for you!" I happily exclaimed while scoffing and I ran up to the items that surrounded his backpack.
"SAKURA DON'T!"
Innocently, I looked back at him, wondering what could be wrong, and then this strange aura could be felt from behind. I looked back and saw a neon-green light originating from this book that was open-
Oh no. This book is the portal that leads to the other alternate universe, isn't it...?
Gulp.
CRAP.
Shrieking, I shielded my closed eyes with my arms from the blinding light, and braced myself.
I heard Sasuke call my name as if he was running towards me and there was then this swoosh sound.
Reluctantly, I opened my eyes, seeing that I was falling, and I started to scream.
When in midair, I felt arms from behind wrap around my waist, and from the corner of my eye, I realized that Sasuke was the one that was holding me.
We then made our landing as Sasuke acted as my pillow, cushioning my fall. Mini tornados of dirt were created from the impact and they lightly tickled my skin. The two of us cringed.
Sasuke grunted. "Idiot. Look what you did!"
I got off of him, now standing, and glared at him. "W-What?! H-How the heck was I suppose to know?!"
Sasuke stood up as well and glared back at me.
He squinted his eyes in annoyance and muttered, "You knew the book was in my backpack. So much for your memorization skills..."
Feeling a vein pop, I blushed as I inched my face forward, and yelled, "H-HEY! D-Don't be a b-butt! This is all of your fault! Why did you have to go get that stupid book on my Birthday and make me worry about you?! We could have gotten it together!"
Blushing slightly, Sasuke's glare intensified as his head inched forward too, and he shouted, "Idiot! You're the one who wanted to go in the first place! That's why I got it for you! You ungrateful idiot!"
"W-Well, you should have at least told me first!" I argued and inched my face closer, my glare growing more deadlier and deadlier with each passing second.
"I relied on Kakashi to tell you but even you can't receive full messages!" Sasuke countered and inched his face even closer, our foreheads now touching.
Our glares caused electricity and we were both blushing for some reason...
"Well, well... Look who it is again."
That voice...
Kakashi.
The two of us looked to see Kakashi, Naruto, the other Sasuke, and the other me, except this time she had short hair.
My eyes then scanned the area and it appeared that we were in some unknown forest and it was daylight out.
"W-What?! We're seeing these guys AGAIN?!" Naruto said very confused and he scratched his head.
"Wow, that was fast! I'm so glad we found you guys!" I cheerfully exclaimed, my eyes now sparkling, and I then eagerly inquired, "Hey other me! Do... Do you have a curse mark like I do?"
Sasuke then lightly elbowed me and coldly scolded in a whisper, "Idiot! Don't ask so happily about it!"
I just glared at him and whispered, "S-Shut u-up!"
Silence.
The four all looked completely stunned and there was a blank expression on my face at seeing this.
"Um... Do you?" I asked again, my voice oozing with awkwardness.
The other me shook her head with a frown and quietly mumbled, "N-No. But-"
"So Sakura has the curse mark instead?" the other Sasuke said while stepping forward and he was eyeing Sasuke.
Sasuke shook his head and slightly pulled down his upward blue collar, revealing his curse mark. "No. We both do."
All of their eyes grew gigantically wide at this and they looked so scared that they were going to crap their pants at any moment, especially the other me.
"W-Who... Who got it first?" she reluctantly questioned with a gulp and I could see the pure fear in her eyes.
"I did! I got it when I jumped in front of Sasuke so that creepy snake dude wouldn't bite him in that weirdo forest!" I casually clarified and then glared at Sasuke. "But this butt seems to be ungrateful..."
Feeling a vein pop, he scowled while twitching like no tomorrow, and gave me his famous death-glare.
"Idiot! What do you know?! I never wanted you to get it in the first place! You shouldn't have interfered because I ended up getting it anyway! Now you have to suffer too! I never wanted you to suffer the same pain, idiot!" Sasuke shouted at me, pure rage in his fierce eyes, and he then looked away from me with a huff.
For a moment, I gave him this incredulous look, feeling slight guilt, but I then fiercely shouted, "Dummy! The only reason why you got the curse mark is because I wasn't strong enough! I should have been able to protect-"
"Idiot, you shouldn't HAVE to protect me! Worry about yourself for once!" Sasuke fumed and his eyes bored into mine.
"Hmm... It's pretty obvious that you two care much about each other and have been through a lot..." Kakashi cleverly remarked and crossed his arms.
With that being said, I innocently looked over at Sasuke, blushed, and then looked away with a huff.
"Well... Y-Yeah..." I quietly agreed in a murmur and felt waves embarrassment rush through me.
"Also, the only one in our group who has a curse mark is Sasuke..." Kakashi serenely advised and he pointed at the other Sasuke.
Inwardly gasping, I felt the ends of my mouth turn downwards, and I then whispered to Sasuke, "Maybe I wasn't suppose to get this mark? Maybe... Maybe I really did change the future..."
Sasuke huffed in disbelief and rolled his eyes. "Pft. Don't be so full of yourself..."
Anger swarmed me as I started to blush and I waved my fist at him. "W-Why you! YOU BUTT-AH!"
Severe pain then ruthlessly bombarded my neck, causing me to scream as I tightly clutched onto it while the mark started to spread all across my body, and the second Team 7 watched horrified.
Sasuke then smoothly leaned into me, his lips now just centimeters away from my left ear, and he whispered behind his hand something so softly, so quietly that I could only hear...
"I love you."
In an instant, my heart summersaulted as I froze like a block of ice, my cheeks flushing pinker than any strawberry milkshake, and the curse mark briskly receded.
Sasuke then fully stood and dug his hands into his pockets AS IF NOTHING HAD JUST FREAKING HAPPENED!
Astounded, Kakashi asked, "Amazing. You made her curse mark instantly recede. How did you do this?"
Smirking, Sasuke looked at me, and urged, "Sakura, you're the one who discovered it...so why don't you explain?"
Blushing even more, I looked up at him, my eyes now growing enormously wide, and I swiftly looked down with a gulp, my face as pink as ever.
"I... Uh... A-Ah... No... U-Um..." I shyly mumbled as I searched my mind for actual sentences but nothing came, for his stupid three words earlier had turned my brain into mush, and I now feared that I would never stop blushing.
"Whoa... What did he say to her? Her face is pinker than her hair..." Naruto mumbled dumbfounded and his mouth went agape.
"Yeah..." other me agreed almost breathlessly and she added, "She won't stop blushing... She can't even look at us."
Is this another lousy attempt of his to try to humiliate in public? Well, I won't stand for it! No way! CHA!
"CHA! I WON'T LET YOU USE MY FEELINGS FOR YOU AGAINST ME! CHA! YOU BUTT!" Inner me ferociously screeched and a menacing platinum aura surrounded her.
Still blushing, I glared at him, and started to lightly hit Sasuke's chest while frantically yelling, "Y-YOU B-BUTT! H-How d-dare you say that to me and make me all flustered and c-crap! Y-You... YOU WEIRDO!"
"What did he say to you?" Kakashi asked smiling and I paused.
Why... Why do I have a feeling that he already KNOWS?!
Kakashi, you're a worser eavesdropper than ME!
THE HORROR!
I twitched.
Sasuke smirked and haughtily said, "Hn. Nothing untruthful."
Blushing like mad, my body jumped as my jaw dropped like never before, and I twitched so much while pointing at the Uchiha, wanting to say something, but no words escaped from my mouth.
Kakashi happily closed his eyes. "I see. So... From what I have observed, if you make the person blush, their curse mark recedes, correct? Or not just simple blushing, but just as an act of love?"
Puzzled, I blinked my eyes.
He's totally dead-on...
Sasuke nodded. "Something like that..."
Kakashi then eyed me playfully and asked, "How did you guys first find this out, Sakura?"
Heart racing, my eyes grew wide in sheer panic, and I frantically yelled while pointing at him, "Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You don't need to know that!"
GAH! KAKASHI, YOU PERVERT!
"CHA! WHAT THE HELL?!" Inner me screamed in panic while blushing and she put her hands on top of her head.
Before Kakashi could retort, I composed myself, and timidly asked, "S-So... D-Did you guys do the Chunin Exams yet...?"
"My team just finished them," Kakashi answered and then added, "And our village just fought off the Sand Village's attack. Naruto here even defeated Gaara..."
The silver haired man then ruffled the blond's hair and Naruto started to bashfully chuckle. "Hey, it was nothing! Haha! Believe it!"
Eyes turning to hearts, I clasped my hands, and started to squeal. "Did you say Gaara-kun?! KYAAA!-"
I was then cut off when Sasuke lightly pinched my ear, causing me to squeak in pain, and he muttered annoyed, "Idiot. You better not start..."
"Ow!" I cutely whined.
In a flash of motion, I then relentlessly pinched Sasuke by the ear while blushing, causing him to cringe, and I frantically yelled, "Y-You dummy! This is how Lee felt yesterday when your freaking hand raped his ear! You-"
Sasuke then slapped my hand away and held his ear. "You're crazy..."
"YOU started it!" I childishly argued and pointed at him.
"Stop it! Quit touching each other already!" Kakashi snapped.
Immediately, the two of us blushed, and we quickly looked over at him.
"Now as I was saying... My team just finished the Chunin Exams and our village just defeated the Sand Village. What about you guys?" Kakashi asked.
Wait... Did he say defeat the Sand Village? They end up betraying us?
And wait...
Did he say before that Naruto defeated Gaara...?
GAARA IS GOING TO DIE?!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Covering my face with my hands, I fell to my knees, and was about to sob, my eyes growing watery.
"Uh... Is she okay?" Kakashi questioned awkwardly.
Sniffing, I then asked, "N-Naruto... D-Did you kill, G-Gaara-kun?"
"W-What? N-No, he's still alive. Actually, he's not such a bad guy..." Naruto sheepishly said with a smile and rubbed the back of his head while slightly blushing.
Eyes sparkling, I clasped my hands together, and blushed redder than any tomato. "S-So... He's okay? Oh gosh! Thank goodness!"
I happily stood up and Sasuke glared at me. "You're such an idiot..."
"Shut up!" I barked while blushing.
"Wait... So does this other version of Sakura have a crush on Gaara instead of Sasuke?" Naruto asked no one in particular.
Blushing, the other me then growled, and hit Naruto on the head. "IDIOT! SHUT UP!"
I gasped and angrily pointed at her. "H-Hey! I told you not to hit him last time, you jerk!"
"Oh so it's okay when you hit me but not him?" Sasuke asked in a mutter and he was now behind me for some reason, his head hovering above my left shoulder.
Tuning around slightly, I glared at him, and the blood rushed to my cheeks. "Well, you're a different story! You're actually a butt and deserve it in most circumstances! Naruto does not because he's awesome! And besides... I barely even hit you, you weirdo! So shut it!"
I then remembered Kakashi's previous question and said, "O-Oh yeah! Um... Well, back in our universe, we had just completed the preliminaries for the Chunin Exams. Now we have to wait a month for the third exam..."
Kakashi nodded his head. "Ah I see. So our universe is a little ahead of you, time-wise?"
I nodded. "Y-Yep."
Suddenly, I then gasped at remembering something, and I whirled around while pointing at Sasuke. "That's right! Now that you have the curse mark, Sasuke, you shouldn't be able to participate in the third exam either since I can't!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Idiot. I'm still going to participate. I know how to control it better than you. Besides, Kakashi has already been brutally training me for that third exam, and he sealed my curse mark. You've already been disqualified. So... There's nothing you can do."
Feeling a vein pop, I waved my fist at him, and yelled, "W-WHAT?! Okay, I officially don't care what you say! I'm going to SO participate now! I beat Ino fair and square so I should be able to advance to third round!"
The other me innocently blinked her eyes. "You... You beat Ino? I tied with her..."
I then walked up to the other me and smiled. "Yeah, I beat her. I've always been intensely training for awhile now. Wait, what are some things that we have in common? Do you like Gaara-kun too? Do you watch Boy Toasty?"
She gave me a weird look and shook her head. "U-Uh... No."
My shoulders sagged in disappointment. "Oh..."
The other me then looked at my heart-shaped locket around my neck and gently held it.
"Hey... This is really pretty. Will I ever get this? Who gave it to you...?" she asked curiously.
Instantly, I started to insanely blush while twitching, and I timidly stuttered, "D-D-D-D-Don't w-worry a-about i-it..."
"Did Sasuke give it to you?" Kakashi guessed while smiling.
My body jumped and I instantly started to scream. "AHHHH! N-NO! U-Uh..."
The other me then opened my locket and her eyes bulged once reading what was engraved in it.
"A-Annoying...? Sasuke-kun really did give this to you, didn't he?" she asked.
I opened my mouth to deny it but said nothing.
Sasuke crossed his arms and huffed. "Hn. I had it specially customized for you. You should be grateful."
Anger flailing through me, my jaw dropped, and I waved my fist at him. "Why you stuck up little-"
"Wait... Are you guys dating?" Kakashi asked, interrupting me.
Eyes growing gigantically wide, I loudly gasped, and a tremendous amount of blood rushed to my cheeks.
"W-WHAT?! N-No! N-Never... I-I m-mean... W-Well... U-Uh... N-No... I-It's j-just a Birthday that present he gave me y-yesterday!" I stupidly exclaimed while stuttering like a weirdo and my cheeks were burning of strawberry-red like crazy.
Great. I sound like an idiot as usual.
Honestly, I think I'm still hyper from all that sugar; I surprisingly have a lot of energy.
"Then why is your gift shaped like a heart...?" Kakashi curiously pressed.
I blushed some more and sheepishly admitted, "U-Uh... I... I actually don't know..."
The other Sasuke then aloofly stepped forward. "You guys want to know about the curse mark, right?"
I smiled at him. "Yes! That would be great! I-"
Unfortunately, before anything else could be said, the frigging neon-green light abruptly appeared OUT OF NOWHERE, causing me to scream, and I instinctively grabbed onto Sasuke's arm.
FLASH!
Next thing I knew, we were both falling again, but this time Sasuke grabbed me in midair, and we landed
on this concrete floor that was purple.
Looking around, I noticed that the parts of the cement floor were sticking up, as if there was an explosion earlier of some sort, and that really scared me.
Sasuke helped me up and the two of us now stood.
We both gasped at what we saw next.
There Naruto was. Looking taller, fitter, and...hot. (No, I'm not even kidding.) Naruto's outfit looked the same but there was some differences. For example, black had replaced the blue portion of his usual outfit, and he also wore a different headband that was black, not blue.
I then saw a girl who appeared to me I guess and what I saw shocked me. Her hair was short, kind of spiky, and had a read headband instead of a blue one. She wore a similar red colored top that looked similar to my upper portion of my dress, with black gloves, black boots, a pink apron skirt, and to top it off, pink elbow protectors. This me looked older, more mature, tougher, and buffer.
SHE LOOKED AWESOME!
"HELL YEAH! WE LOOK BADASS IN THE FUTURE! CHA!" Inner happily me roared and clenched her fists.
I then looked behind me to see two other dudes that I didn't know.
One was super pale, had black hair as he wore all black to match too, and his belly button was even exposed. Weird.
The other guy looked more older and he had sandy brown hair with dark eyes and he was wearing a green vest with dark blue pants.
I then looked up to see someone standing on a cliff and my pupils constricted at realizing who it was.
Sasuke.
He was way taller, broader, and more muscular. I hated to admit it but he looked really hot too, like Naruto. Anyway, he was wearing this really weird outfit that made me blush like crazy. To start off, he wasn't wearing his headband anymore, and was wearing this super mega long-sleeved shirt that was the same color as a marshmallow, and his torso remained almost fully opened, revealing his super muscular chest. (THE HECK?!) This Sasuke also wore dark blue pants with a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees. He also wore a purple rope like belt around his waist, tied in a bow, which made a fierce looking sword stay in place on his back.
Something was different about him though.
His eyes... They looked heartless and full of hate, which scared me.
My fear didn't hold me back from saying this to the Sasuke standing next to me though...
"HOLY CRAP! W-Why is older you dressed like a stripper?! A-Are you secretly gay?!"
Immediately, Sasuke covered my mouth with his hand as if his life depended on it, and he shushed me. "Idiot! Shut up before you get us killed!"
Everyone was now looking at us.
The tension was so thick that I could have cut it with my Kunai...
Well, this is awkward!
...I rather be watching Boy Toasty...
Seriously.
