DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO. MASASHI KISHIMOTO DOES.

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 anyone besides 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 that when you look at it... It slowly turned to be a...Smile

"You're Mine, Only Mine"

Chapter 4: "Bad Day"

After watching 'The Grudge' Sasuke walked Sakura to her house after Itachi insisting that Sasuke walk her home since it was getting late and a little lecture on how boys should treat girls that went a little too far.

After that, Sasuke went straight to his room, knowing that Sasori will stay for the night. He took a shower, went to bed and drift off to sleep.

"I'm so happy that I'm with him!" He saw a bubblegum haired girl bouncing up and down as she grinned widely. "With whom? With whom, Sakura?" He heard himself voiced out.

Her face becomes clearer now, her grin makes her jade eyes sparkle as she mouthed out the name, "Sas —

"RIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIING"

Sasuke heard a phone call. He shot one eye open and look on his clock. It reads '3:30 AM'

'At this time?!'

He sighs and sat upon his bed. First, having a weird dream that he wasn't able to finish then woke up by a phone call at a very wrong time! It must be a really bad day for Sasuke.

He reaches out for his phone at the nightstand where the lava lamp was placed, looking at the caller ID who says: 'Dobe'

'Usuratonkachi.'

He shrugs and declines his call thinking that it might be some of his pranks, he was about to put down his phone again and go back to sleep when...

"RIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIING"

He glared at his phone, almost likely glaring at Naruto who's calling him, right now. 'Let's get over this' Sasuke picked up the call.

"SASUKE-TEMEEEEE!" He winced on Naruto's loud voice, who wouldn't?

"Dobe. Stop calling me at this time."

He was about to drop the call but he heard Naruto rambling on the other line,

"Wait! Wait! Hey! Sasuke-Teme! It's Important! I needed to ask something! Sasuke-Teme? Teme! Temeeeeeeee!"

Sasuke sighs, then put back his phone pressed unto his ear. "Spit it out."

"Well..."

"Hn."

"You see..."

"..."

"Uhhhhh..."

"Dobe. Just tell me what it is!" Slightly raising his voice with annoyance.

"Okay okay! Just chill out, Teme!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes on this. 'Chill out? In this time?'

"Well, you see... I-I wanted to ask... H-Hinata-chan to..."

Sasuke didn't understand the next words, looks like Naruto is mumbling it on the other side of the line. "Dobe. I can't hear you."

"I said. I—"

"Dobe."

"Okay! Okay!" He heard Naruto sighs then continue.

"I said. I wanted to ask Hinata-chan out with me..."

"..."

"...but I don't know how."

Sasuke sighs inwardly. "Just ask her, Dobe"

"Ask her?! I couldn't just go up to her and ask her!"

"Yes, you could."

"No."

"Yes." Sasuke gritted at this.

"Then, why could you just ask SAKURA-CHAN TO GO OUT WITH YOU?!"

"..."

"Teme!"

"..."

"Are you still there Teme?"

"..."

"Teme, I was just telling you to—" Sasuke dropped the call.

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to find a good sleep he slid down to his bed and went downstairs. Itachi wasn't there yet, it's just "3:50 AM"

Sasuke brushed past the living room and to the Kitchen. Grabbing some red and juicy tomato he leaned to the countertop and caught in a deep taught. 'Why would, Dobe tell me th—'

'Because it's true..." A voice comes up to his mind.

'What the?! Who the hell are you?!

'The Inner you.'

'I don't have an Inner me, or whatsoever.'

'I'm here... so that means, I'm TRUE'

'Tsch.'

'Just ask SAKURA out.'

'No.'

'Yes'

'No'

'Yes'

Sasuke was about to argue with his inner when someone speaks, "Stop denying it or you'll lose it."

Sasuke shot up his head towards the voice, Itachi. The scowl of the young Uchiha is visible at his face. "Tsch."

"Stop pretending Sasuke."

"I'm not," Sasuke says as he slid down the chair at the dining table.

Itachi starts preparing a little snack for them, since he knew that they wouldn't get back into bed, it's the Uchihas. "You are."

Sasuke glared at this. "I told you, I'm not."

"If mom is here, she'll tell you what I exactly told you. You are." Sasuke growl. "Stop it Itachi."

Itachi smirks "As you say so, foolish little brother" Setting up a plate with nachos and a dip. Sasuke kept his glare at his brother's back as thought what his mother will say right now.

'I'm not'

Sasuke's day goes just like every ordinary day but this time Itachi didn't take him a ride to the Konoha High, he left earlier than Sasuke. Sasuke wasn't in the mood to drive his car too, he decided to take a walk to school. Sakura and Naruto joined him as well.

Walking to the school Naruto kept blabbering about how he's going to ask Hinata out, Sakura helping Naruto and in Sasuke's favour Sasori's not here but he would be there later. Him, he remembers his dream last night.

Her face becomes clearer now, her grin makes her jade eyes sparkle as she mouthed out the name, "Sas —

He snapped out when Naruto announced that they've reached the school and immediately saw their friends just outside the campus.

"Goodmorning guys" Sakura greeted as she waves her hands running towards them.

"Yo, Forehead." , "G-good morning a-as well, S-sakura-san", "Morning, Sakura-san", "Morning." , "Good morning my youthful Cherry Blossoms!" , "Good *chomp* morning", "Good morning." , "Morning, Troublesome." , "Good morning miss beautiful *wink* "

Sasuke twitches his brow at the last greeting to Sakura. Greeting each other, the group decided to walk inside the campus looking at their favourite spot, just below the large cherry blossoms tree.

Naruto sits beside Hinata, Sakura sits beside Naruto then nudge him to go and do the plan. As for Sasuke who doesn't have an idea to sit down, Sakura grabs him by the hand and nudges him towards her, Sasuke could nothing to say but raise his eyebrow on her. She gestures Sasuke to sit down beside her which Sasuke quietly obeyed.

Everyone at the circle of their friends started to make their conversation.

"Sasuke-kun" Sakura called him earning a glance from him.

"Hn." Looking back at the hallways. "Are you looking for someone?"

Sasuke slightly shook his head. "No o—"

"Good morning, Sakura-chan"

'Speaking of the devil.'

"Oh! There you are! Good morning!" Sakura beamed up seeing Sasori.

And as much of Sasuke's dismay, Sakura starts to talk to Sasori rather than him, causing Sasuke to leave but stopped by the pink-haired girl, herself. "Sasuke-kun, where are you going?"

Now all of his friends' attention is on him. He sighs and turns to her "At the locker." slightly looking up to the hallway where the locker was.

"Mhm? Okay then. Just return here after you finish something there okay?"

"Hn."

"Okay then, be extra careful Sasuke-kun, there is a hell of a lot of fangirls around there." She winks at it which makes Sasuke smirks then he leaves.

He lied, he wasn't going to the locker, and he was instead going to their classroom. As he opened the room there was no one else there, of course, it'll be half an hour to start the classes, closing the door behind him he quietly marched to his seat next to the window.

There he caught in a deep taught again.

'Stop denying or you'll lose it' Itachi's words kept repeating on his head.

'I don't know how to act like a REAL man around him, I don't even talk to him like a normal person.'

'Then, talk to her and ask her out'

'I said, I can't and— what the? Why are you here again?'

'I'm always here.'

'Tsch.'

Sasuke shook his head, clearing his thoughts, thinking that the might be crazy hearing this the so-called 'Inner Sasuke'

He shot a look behind him, looking at Sakura's seat, his gaze softened when he imagine that she was there, her soft pink locks, her beautiful jade eyes, and her pink lips that always have that charming smile that most of the guys will drool over it.

Well, Sakura was a sweetheart in their school right? She is just as famous as Ino, and Sakura isn't even competing with her, it's just that she's different, uniquely different, she is simple, uniquely SIMPLE.

And almost any guys would fall heads over heels for her and as for Sasuke? He can have her. He can have her anytime he wants, how he wants, when he wants, where he wants. Everyone knows that boys back away from Sakura every time that the young Uchiha was there, they knew that there was somewhat a relationship between them, well not officially. Not that Sasuke's going to accept that easily.

Sasuke has a chance on getting Sakura but now that he thinks of it, that chance may be taken away by Sasori,

Sasuke glared at the red-haired guy that was entering the room by himself, noticing Sasuke was there he marched to him with that playful smirk on his face.

"Sasuke."

Looking up to Sasori, who leaned on Sasuke's desk still had that smirk on his face only to see it grew wider.

"What." A warning growl came out from Sasuke as he speaks.

"Jealous?" Still having that smirk on his face.

"No," Sasuke replied fast, Too Fast. Still glaring at Sasori as it intensifies every second.

Sasori keeps his cool face with the big smirk and leans more to Sasuke.

"I get what I want Sasuke... and I can throw it away with a click of my fingers."

That did it. Sasuke grabbed Sasori's collar slamming him on the nearest wall.

His Sharingan had activated and now was ready to kill this fellow red-haired guy at the front of him.

"Try me. Akaningyo." Threatening Sasori with all his might. "Pardon? I thought you don't care?" Sasori on the other side seems like he's not intimidated by how Sasuke looks and still kept his smirk on his face.

"I'll never let you hurt her" Sasuke hissed on a deadly voice.

Sasori didn't respond but still smirking.

"Touch her and I swear I'll wipe that smirk on your face and with that, he released his grip from Sasori's collar and sits down his seat right before their classmates fills up the room.

Sasori brushed off his uniform and sits down on his seat as well.

As for Sasuke, he looked ahead, noticing that the pink-haired girl is just entering their room, 'Why would I be jealous, she's just my friend, right?'

'Just a friend…'

Lunchtime came and as usual Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Neji, Tenten, Lee and Sasori are together again. They sat down at the same huge round table at the cafeteria yesterday.

Naruto beside Sasuke beside Sakura then Sasori before Shikamaru beside Ino and Chouji then Lee beside Tenten and then Neji who's beside Shino then Kiba and Finally Hinata then again with Naruto. So that was the order.

Everyone started eating the moment that they were settled down and complete.

"Hey, Guys!" .Naruto shouts getting all of their attention. "What?" Ino glared at him.

"I've got GOOOOOOOOD NEWS!" Naruto said with a goofy smile on his face. "Just spit it out, Dobe." Sasuke sighs hearing his high-pitched voice.

"Okay! Okay!" Holding out his hands in a defensive way. "I already asked Hinata to go out with me, and guess what!"

Naruto earned a glare at Neji but ignored it. "She rejects it!" Kiba says.

"No! She agreed!" He continues speaking and ignore the shocked faces and glare at him. "Heh! Lucky bastard!"

Much to their surprise, Neji is oddly silent as well.

"That's great, Hinata-chan!" Tenten gleamed and wiggled an eyebrow on Hinata.

Which was noticed by Shikamaru, "You won't hit Naruto this time?" Looking directly at Neji. "Hey! I'm here!"

Neji shrugged nonetheless. "I can't", "Of course you can't!" Tenten exclaimed.

"Oh. I see, seems like Neji's under!" Kiba snickered that earned him a glare.

"Wait. Why can't we just have a quadra date?" Ino asked and suggested at the same time. "Quadra date?" Sakura raised her eyebrow.

"Why, yes, forehead. Quadra date. Naruto and Hinata, Neji and Tenten, Shikamaru and I, You and …" Ino stopped looking at Sasori and then to Sasuke.

"Oh! That's right, you aren't dating anyone!" Ino teased Sakura which gave her a deadly look.

"Worry not my beautiful cherry blossoms! I am here to escort you!" Lee said as he grabbed Sakura's hand which she took back immediately, "Bah! I can go with you Sakura-chan!" Kiba smiled cheekily at her.

"Sakura's gotten famous around guys!" Tenten stated and laughed. Ino, on the other hand, had a smile on her face, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, "I am suggesting Sasuke but since Sasuke's not the 'romantic' type. You can just go with Sasori."

Sasuke tensed at Ino's suggestion and Ino noticed this.

"I would be glad to be your companion" Sasori smiled gently at her in which she may have blushed a bit.

Sasuke didn't like this scene, he felt himself, gritted his teeth with that he stands up and walks away.

"Hey, teme!"

He heard Naruto called for him but he didn't bother to look back.

Sasuke is now resting at his room, the class was dismissed 3 hours ago now it's 5 in the afternoon.

He sighs. 'Tsch.', thinking back if Sakura accepted the idea since he did not want time to hear such nonsense. He stopped in his thoughts when something hard hits him. A tennis ball.

He shot up from the bed looking where the ball came from. It leads to... one smirking Itachi. Sasuke twitched his brows on this. "What now?"

"Wow. Did something happen? It's almost winter and you're boiling like water in a 100 degrees heat."

"..." Sasuke looks away.

"Mhm, Is it about Saso—" Sasuke laid down and runs his hand to his raven locks. "Just leave alone Itachi! I'm not in the mood!"

Itachi was quite taken aback and then smirks. 'It's working.'

Then he closed Sasuke's door and walks away leaving his foolish little brother.

Sasuke Uchiha can't sleep, no matter how hard he kept his eyes closed, he just can't sleep and it bothers him to no end!

"Fuck." He signed and sat upon his bed, he ran a hand through his raven locks and an image of Sakura and Sasori, together with flash before his eyes.

"What the hell?!"

He feels somewhat angered by that image; his mind is messing with him again. And he can't put a finger why he is feeling that way, or maybe he knew it all along, maybe he is just denying it to everyone but mostly to himself.

He had enough, that's for sure. He needs to get this off of his mind.

Sasuke stands up and went to his closet, wearing grey jogging pants and putting a loose white shirt on, he left his phone on his bed and grabbed his black jacket, expecting that the incoming winter breeze would be lingering around.

Leaving his room, he passed through Itachi's room, there are no lights and no sounds from the other side of the door as well. He went downstairs to find an empty living room and kitchen.

'He left without even telling me.' At the back of his mind, he suspected that Itachi is probably with his friends again at the Akatsuki mansion that is exclusively for them. Shrugging at this, he left the house and jog towards the Konoha Town Square.

He jogged carefully at the streets of the Konoha, it is only passed 7 in the evening, and people are on their way home from their tiring works and the people working on the night shift are just beginning to fill up the train station that he passed.

He also passed the night market; the vendors are putting up their tents and organizing their products waiting for the night people that are looking for cheap priced products.

Finally, he reached his destination the Konoha Town Square, it is somewhat the village's town centre for galas, picnic area, party people and it's just simply for everyone.

There's a park at the town square for those people who just wanted to relax and have a breath of air, think of stuff, and have that serenity that they wanted, it is an ideal place, there are small ponds at it, there are also benches, and a kid's playground. Various boutiques surround the park, food stalls, fashion boutiques, jewellery stores and even a small movie theatre is seen around it.

Sasuke however just wanted to go his favourite place, a place away from this people, and even if the majority of the people is here, he does know a place where you can just relax for yourself, it's a cliff where you can overview the whole town, he just needed to walk through the town square.

But before he even reached his destination, he passed by a small coffee shop, he caught a flash of pink and stopped to his tracks.

'Pink?'

Hesitantly, he walked again but stopped when someone behind him ushered, "Hey. Isn't that Sasuke Uchiha?"

"Where? Oh! Yeah, that's him for sure!" It's the voice of girls but thankfully they happened to calmer than his fangirls or it would be a bad night for him as well.

Sasuke turned around but they are caught up with their chattering that they didn't even notice that he spotted the two. He took their appearances, one is a brunette, and the other is a blonde.

"I heard that their company will be having a branch at the Rain Village!" the brunette said. "Is that so?" the blonde replied.

"Yes! Well, that's normal he's a born millionaire, after all, he simply gets what he wants!"

Sasuke sighed on what he heard, 'Can't they notice that I can see and hear them?' He shook his head in disbelief of the two girls just before him.

"Yeah, I agree with that, I bet no one can even outdo him, he is just so perfect!" the blonde cheerfully said.

"I can't agree with that…" the brunette suddenly stated and pointed out a finger on the coffee shop that Sasuke happened to gaze on a while ago. "Who is that?"

"Sasori Akaningyo."
