DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. MASASHI KISHIMOTO DOES.
The new student stood at the front of the class, he is tall and pale, his messy red hair made his golden orbs looked hazy and that was it, it made a complete sense now he is just like Sasuke, the school's heartthrob. He's quite the opposite of him, he is red and Sasuke is blue.
Kakashi slammed his hands on the table causing the girls to stop screaming about the boy at the front who simply stood there smiling softly. After the class quieted down he continues to present himself with this cold and husky voice.
"I'm Sasori. Akaningyo Sasori"
"You're Mine, Only Mine"
Chapter 3: "A Silent Deal"
The girls squealed and excitement and some just sighed dreamily at Sasori. Which annoyed Kakashi to no end, 'Sasori and Sasuke. Double trouble'
He gets rid of his thoughts looked for a vacant, seeing one he pointed next to —
"You can seat there" Kakashi gestured Sasori to go to the vacant seat.
"Thanks for assisting me, Kakashi-sensei," Sasori said and bowed to Kakashi. He made eye contact with the Uchiha and made his way to the vacant seat next to.
'Sakura'
Before even making to his seat, he stopped right at Sasuke's desk,
"Nice meeting you here, Sasuke." Sasori smugly smirks at him.
Noticing the odd aura enveloping the raven head and scarlet head, he jumped into Sasuke's desk and looked at them, back and forth, seriously interested at the two "You knew him, Sasuke-teme?!"
"Hn. Nice meeting you as well." Sasuke greeted back completely ignoring Naruto's question.
Sasuke knew him for a while now, not that they are close or something, he simply knew Sasori from his brother Itachi. Said boy is his brother's fellow fraternity member, the Akatsuki brotherhood, a worldwide fraternity that recruits students for certain purposes that his brother and his fellow friends would only know of. He saw him many times before, every time Itachi holds an event for their brotherhood on their manor or when Itachi just asks them to come over to bond. They only greeted each other when Sasori visits Itachi and that was it. No more talks just greetings.
After greeting Sasuke and ignoring the blonde-haired guy, he turned to Sakura.
"Hi. So, we've met again?" He said as he smiled at her.
Upon hearing Sasori's voice he looked upon his shoulder to see the scarlet head talked to the pink one. Seeing this Sasuke almost activated his Sharingan but just looked away to control his temper.
"Yeah, after 5 years, If I remember correctly...?" Sakura returned the smile as she recollecting her memories. "I couldn't quite imagine that… You" She looked at him from top to bottom, "Would grow up like that."
"Indeed. 5 years. I didn't expect you to be like that as well. Beautiful"
After hearing this Sakura dismissed it by giggling at his remarks, shaking her head sideways in disbelief.
Sasori sits beside Sakura, noticing the glare that the young Uchiha giving him and the confused look with the blonde-haired guy that is both unknown to Sakura who listens to Kakashi that started lecturing 'This is going to be a long year.'
'When did they...' Sasuke shook off his thoughts. 'Damn it.'
He sighed. 'Why do I even care?'
Recollecting his cool façade, he turned his attention to Kakashi that started to lecture the lesson for the day.
Time flew fast as Sasuke didn't notice it was already. "Lunch Break"
The students went out of the room immediately, excited to meet their friends from the other classes from the long weekend due to the heavy rain. Seeing that everyone had taken their leave including Naruto and Sakura, he gets up walking towards the locker room but before doing so he saw Naruto waiting for him.
"What took you so long, teme?" He scrunched up his face looking impatient as he took the path to the cafeteria. "Let's go!"
"I need to drop off my things to the locker." Sasuke simply stated, and before he even had the chance to go to the opposite path Naruto drag him to the other way.
"What the hell?!"
"They're waiting for us! Let the lockers be alone, you suck teme!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes to Naruto's antics and takes back his arms. "I can walk by myself."
"Good! Now let's get some food!"
When they reach the cafeteria that is crowded by now, they went to the stall to have their food in their lunch trays, the line isn't so long, even if it is, people would definitely make a way for them. Knowing where their usual table is Naruto leads the way of looking through the crowd to see if they were already there.
"There they are!" .Naruto shouted pointing to the huge table near the middle.
Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Hinata, Kiba, Shino along with Lee, Tenten, Neji, and Sakura and much to Sasuke's despise, Sasori is also with them.
As Naruto ran to them Sasuke quietly followed Naruto's suit. Upon reaching the table he sits across Sakura who's currently talking to Sasori. 'She didn't even notice me?'
Sasuke looked down eyeing his food, he was thinking about something, he was so serious that he didn't even notice Naruto looking at him and out of curiosity on how Sasuke looked down to his food.
Well, it's not that Sasuke's the outspoken type of guy, Naruto just knows when something's off and there got to be a problem this time.
"Teme!"
'Now they have the whole day to catch up? Tsch'
"Teme!"
'What is he doing here anyway?'
"Teme!"
'How annoying.'
"TEMEEEEEE!"
Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Naruto like nothing had happened. This got their friends' attention as well, not knowing what is happening between them, Naruto just started calling out to Sasuke while they're in the middle of chatting with each other.
"Dobe."
"Whoah! Earth to Sasuke? Earth to Sasuke?" Naruto making a gesture. Sasuke glared at him.
"You're so serious! What's with ya?"
"Nothing."
Looking up there she saw Sakura, smiling at him. "Hi, Sasuke-kun!"
"Hn." He glanced at Sakura and starts to eat his food.
Everyone in their table looked at them in confusion. Now, something's really up to Sasuke, well, he may not be the most social person you'll meet but he talks to them every lunch break, that he did not do this time.
They didn't bother asking Sasuke what's with him since they knew that this might be his mood swings, everyone continues eating their lunch and chatting to each other, soon enough they finished and went back to their classes.
After class Sasuke's stuck with Sakura and well, Sasori. How did this come to be?
Naruto stated that he is going to walk Hinata home because Neji was with Tenten right now in the library studying and preparing about the Archery Competition where Tenten is going to participate.
Ino is usually with Shikamaru and Chouji, doing god knows what. Kiba was fetched up by her sister, Hana. Shino wants to be alone — as always. Lee is probably with Gai training at the gym and that was it! Sasuke has no choice but to be with Sakura and Sasori.
Not that he didn't want to be with her, he simply did not want to be with Sasori. Usually, it was him and Sakura only, making their way back to their houses since they walk or go to the same path.
Sasuke sighed as he walked with them. He is a little bit ahead of them completely being… ignored.
Sasuke closed his eyes as he felt a hand on his shoulder he looked at it and it was Sakura. "Sasuke-kun?"
"Hn?"
"Are you feeling okay?"
"Aa."
"Is there something bothering you?"
"Hn."
"Sasuke."
"Hn."
Sasori was now looking them confused. 'Are they having a conversation?'
"I don't believe you, something's bothering you, isn't it?"
Sasuke sighs inwardly, "God. You're so annoying"
"Bah! I just hit you on the spot! You better fix that Uchiha. I know something's up"
Sasuke smirks at this but taken away when Sasori speaks. "Wow."
Sakura looks at him with an eyebrow up. "Wow, what?"
"I was wondering, how did you understand him? He barely said anything." Sasori asked in confusion.
Sakura looked at him with the same confusion in her eyes, "Err… What do you mean by that?"
"I meant. How did you understand him with all of that 'Hn's and 'Aa's?"
"Oh! That? I don't really know, gut feel I guess?" Sakura answered and laughed as well then she smiles at Sasuke who looks away avoiding her gaze, little did they know when Sakura turned to Sasori, Sasuke smirks at what she said earlier.
'No one ever did understand it... Except for her'
Walking in chattered voices, courtesy of Sasori and Sakura, their walk trip is a little fast, being occupied by the conversation that the two were making, where Sasuke's unconsciously been listening to, they came to a stop when Sakura did, "Well, I should see you tomorrow then? Farewell!"
Sakura was about to walk away when suddenly she was stopped by Sasori. Which earned a glare from Sasuke seeing that the scarlet head hold her wrist.
"Your house is just near to Sasuke's, right?" Sakura didn't get his point and raised an eyebrow on Him."So why don't you come over? Since I am getting Itachi a visit?"
Sakura looked up to Sasuke, who is looking ahead their manor.
"Why? What's the matter?" Sasori asked Sakura as she left the other question unanswered.
"Well, Sasuke-kun doesn't really want unnecessary visi —"
"I don't mind." Sasuke beat Sakura to it and she's a bit shocked about it. "Really?"
Sasuke sighed. "Aa."
Sakura is a little too occupied with her thoughts that she forget one little detail.
Soon after, he starts walking to their manor, shortly he was followed by Sakura and Sasori. When they reached the Uchiha Manor, Sasuke let them follow him inside and as expected Itachi was there. Sitting on the couch watching some movies. Itachi noticing his presence looked at him and greeted him.
"Well, I didn't expect you to bring com— Sasori?" Itachi was shocked as he saw his friend. "Hey, what's up, Itachi?" Sasori greeted him.
"Wait a minute! You knew each other?!" Sakura pointed at Sasori and Itachi.
"You don't know, that we knew each other?" Sasori asked back, "I thought you figured it out, since Sasuke and I knew each other and the fact that I insisted for you to come here as well" Sasori shrugged looking at Sakura as if she is about to grow another head. "Eh? Hehe… I wasn't quite paying attention."
Itachi chuckled and shook his head, "Sasori here is my friend from our brotherhood", "What a very small world!" Sakura exclaimed and looked like she is about to go insane.
"How about you?" Sasuke suddenly asked to no one. "How about what, Sasuke?" His brother asked first, he didn't quite get it as well.
Instead of answering Sasuke merely looked at Sakura then to Sasori, as if he is asking with his eyes. Which Sakura immediately get, "Oh! You meant me and Sasori?"
Sasuke nodded in response waiting for her to continue, "Well, you know Gaara, right? My cousin back at Sunagakure?". "Hn"
"5 years ago, Mom and Dad brought me to Sunagakure for a family reunion and we stayed there for the whole summer that's when I got the chance to meet Sasori, he is a friend of Gaara. I am so excited when Gaara informed me that Sasori is about to transfer here and so I asked for him and contacted him, that way I can show him around the campus, since I know that it's just me that he knows of, until today"
"I see" Sasuke nodded seemingly uninterested but his mind is thinking something else, 'Now that explains about her texting all morning.'
"Since it seems like everything's clear now, mind if I catch up with Sasori? I haven't seen him in a while now and this explains why"
Sasuke shrugs and leads the way for Sakura, "Follow me"
He leads her to the living room, may I say, a huge sized living room, elegant as well. 'Uchihas'
"Sit there," Sasuke says as he glances at the dark blue couch with silver designs.
Sakura obeys Sasuke and sits properly. "I'll be back." Sakura nods as Sasuke walk upstairs.
Sakura finally looks at Itachi and Sasori who was much likely having a little reunion. Who knows how long they haven't seen each other?
And that was it. She's growing impatient.
She rolled her eyes and cross her arms in front of her.
'Sasuke's taking too long! Itachi and Sasori are having like their small reunion back at the kitchen and they leave me here! Doing nothing!'
"Sakura" Sakura didn't hear the voice that was calling for her and continue glaring on the floor looking so annoyed.
"Sakura"
"Damn these people thinking that they could just shut me out?" Sakura mumbled under her breath, not noticing Sasuke, who's been calling him.
"Sakura"
"I shouldn't just go here if th—"
"Sakura"
She shot her heads up to meet with onyx orbs, Sasuke. He got that irritated look on his eyes well he was calling her the 4th time! But it's not about his irritated look that she noticed, it was their face that does she have to mention, only TWO! I repeat TWO inches away from each other.
Noticing this she immediately looked away and blushed, Sasuke sighs about it, and he slides down beside her to sit.
"Still having their reunion?" Sasuke says glancing at the kitchen and looks back at her. "Yeah," Sakura says looking at the flat screen T.V trying to cool her nerves down.
Sasuke looked up the ceiling. 'Damn it.' He knew that this is boring for Sakura so he thought of an idea to entertain her a bit, knowing what to do he stands up earning a questioning look from Sakura. "Be back."
Sasuke walked to the kitchen, a voice was heard, beeping sounds that looks like the microwave, and some sounds that she didn't recognize. She was still curious about what was happening when suddenly. Sasuke along with Itachi and Sasori walks out the kitchen.
"I'm sorry Sakura, we didn't keep watch at the time."
Itachi was holding a big bowl full of popcorn and placed it on the coffee table on the middle of the couches that were surrounding it. Sasori placed a bag of chips and some dipping sauce to match with it on the coffee table as well. "I'm pretty sorry about it as well Sakura-chan" as he smiles sweetly to her. Sasuke glanced at them and placing the lemon juice at the coffee table with 4 glasses.
He sits down beside Sakura and poured the juice into his glass. Glancing at Sakura, he took the other glass and poured some juice on it, the handed it to her. "There."
She smiled as she nods "Thanks, Sasuke-kun"
"Hn." then get his glass.
Itachi and Sasori eyeing Sasuke's actions looked at each other and smirks 'I see... I'm in', 'Sasuke... You'll never know what will happen next. Anyway it'll be fun to see'
Having their thoughts as if they heard and understands each other
Itachi put up a movie and Sakura gulped with her eyes wide open.
Sasuke has to smirk at her reaction, looking at her at his side.
Itachi picked. 'The Grudge'
Sakura immediately clutched Sasuke's arm and squeezing between the couch and his back hiding. He knows that Sakura does NOT love horror movies and anyone who is sitting beside her needs to get ready, Sakura has a habit hugging the person beside her when she's scared. He knows that this would happen and didn't bother anyway. Actually, to him it was. Cute.
Sasori softly laughs at it, Itachi chuckled at it hiding it behind his hand in a gentleman manner and Sasuke, well he has that smirk on his face and if you look at it... It's slowly turned to a... Smile.
A/N: Well, surprise! Seems like Sasuke's seeing a threat now.
Things are just beginning to heat up!
Any reactions and ideas about the next chapters?
I am actually revising some chapters since I change the plot a bit, well you could see that on my profile if you may ask. Anyways, I hope you will still read my story!
