Naruto's POV
Letting Gaara drag me out of the house into the dark night, he yanks at my arm to keep me walking. We move further and further away, until I pull my arm back from his grip.
"Where are you taking me?" I ask him in a motionless tone.
"Taking you the hell away from that asshole!"
"But…"
"No buts the freaking guy was molesting you!" he yells as he flings his arms around.
I watch silently as Gaara's face twists up in rage. I have no idea what to tell him, I'm so shocked I can't even say anything. I still can't believe that Sasuke is that Sasuke from back then. It just cant be he isn't anything like before. He used to be sweet, kind, gentle and would stick up for me, not be a complete jerk!
I snap out of my state of shock as Gaara shakes me roughly. Blinking a couple of times, I stare up into deep dark, concerned green-blue eyes.
"You okay Naruto?" he asks, worry written all over his face.
I look away, not able to face him completely, and stare out into a nearby highway as a car zooms by.
'I feel guilty, doing this to Gaara.'
I close my eyes and teak a deep breath. "Ya' I'm okay Gaara…. I'm sorry." I say.
Slowly I felt strong stable arms encircle me into a warm embrace. I open my eyes to meet with a deep red shirt, I try to look up at him but the just tightens his grip around me and pulls me close.
"Don't be sorry…. I wasn't your fault." He says simply as he rests his head on top of my head.
I bury my face into his chest and grip onto his shirt. I hold back tears that threaten to spill over, but I fight them back.
'I'm sorry Gaara!'
"You want me to take you home?" he ask in a sweet tone.
I clench my teeth together, not trusting my voice at the moment, and nod into his shirt, not daring to look up at him from fear of loosening my strength.
'Why can't Gaara be him?'
The front door creaks, as I swing it open, making me winces at the sound. I slowly close the door, placing my hand over the door and door frame to cushion it. I let out a silent sigh as I hear the click, notifying me that the door is completely close, and lock it. I make my way to my room, and notice a small note taped to the front of my bedroom door.
-Be back tomorrow afternoon. Had a school board meeting at the next town. Clean your room! I left some money for pizza. Be careful and make sure the doors locked.
Love,
Iruka-
I sigh and walk into my room, placing the note on the small nightstand I go to my bed and plop myself face down.
"Shit!" I yell into my pillow.
I stay still listening to the silence around me in my dark room. Reaching over my nightstand, I pull at the small chain hanging on the side of the lamp clicking it on. I turn my head slightly and face the now bright lamp, I stare at it blankly.
'Sasuke is Sasuke!'
He thinks that I'm a girl; he thinks I'm Naru-chan! Well I am Naru-chan… but I'm not a girl! Sasuke's been looking for! I'm happy about that but…he thinks that the person he's been looking for is a girl not a dude! He likes Naru-chan not me! He misses Naru-chan not me!
"Ugh!" I say frustrated as I sit up abruptly on my bed and sink my head in my hands, as I wrap my fingers in my hair. "He doesn't like me he likes who he thinks is me!" I tell myself. "Ugh this is so confusing!" I yell as I pull my hair in frustration.
I stand up, my blood boiling in rage, and kick a random ball lying on the floor. I watch it as it soars in the air, bouncing against the closet door and bounce back hitting me on the face. Falling flat on my back, I rub my cheek as I stand back up angrier than before. Kicking the ball again, I punch the wall making it cave in. Sliding my arm across my desk, I knock everything on top of it.
"Stupid Sasuke." I mutter to myself the whole time.
Finally getting my frustration out I slid down against the wall in the corner of my room, and look at out at the mess I made. I sigh and bring my knees to my chest and hug them tightly, I rest my head against them. Sobbing softly to myself , I hear a small knock at my door.
"Naruto? Are you okay?" I hear a soft worried voice say.
"I'm fine." I say with a sniff.
"You don't sound fine."
"I'm fine!" I raise my voice.
"Let's talk Naruto, please. Open up, please." Yoko says with a concerned tone.
I sniff a couple of times and raise my head up to look at the door, I don't want to get up because I know she'll want me to go back and talk to him.
"Naruto?" I hear her say softly.
I finally get up, and walk through the mess across the floor; I unlock the door and walk back to sit on my bed. Not even looking up, I feel a small weight settling down next to me. I stare at straight down at my feet, not wanting to look up at her. She softly places her hand over my shoulder to comfort me.
"What happen?" she asks.
I slowly shake my head from side to side as I place my head in my open palms.
"Well something's bothering you if you're acting like this Naruto?"
"It's just…. I'm so confused now Yoko!" I say with my face still buried in my hands.
"About what?"
"…. Well he thinks I'm a she."
"Who?"
"…. Sasuke." I say softly.
"Who?"
"Sasuke!" I say loudly as I look up at her. "I finally found Sasuke… but he thinks I'm a girl!"
I watch as Yoko sits there with a straight face and flashes her eyes downwards. Waiting to see what she'll say, I start getting nervous.
"Well…." She says still not looking at me.
"Well what?" I ask her.
"Well… I uh… I um …. I knew Sasuke was Sasuke…. I uh told him to be at the party to see you."
I stare at her in shock as she tells me this. I wouldn't have thought in a million years that he was Sasuke, even though their names were the same. My eyes widen as what she was telling me finally clicks together.
"So… that's why you wanted me to wear this." I say.
She nods slowly, not looking up at me. Staring at her I can feel my rage building up at the pit of my stomach, I lower my head to the ground.
"Yoko can you please go….. we'll talk later." I tell her softly.
"But Naruto-"
"Please." I interrupt her mid-sentence.
I can feel the weight lift bedside me as she gets up, if I listen carefully I can hear her walk out my room into the hallway and out the front door. I sit there for awhile trying not to get angry at Yoko, since it really wasn't her fault, but can't help not getting mad. Silently I lay down on the soft, warm pillow and wrap myself with the covers, and wait for sleep to take me away.
Today is going to suck so badly. First the boiler wasn't working, again, so you can say I really woke up with that shower. Then I fell down the apartment stairs, and got myself a nice big lump on the head. So, I walked back up to get me a bag of ice for it, but with my luck I left my keys inside. This day couldn't possible get any worse.
I feel my bag slide down my shoulder, so I pull it up so it won't fall, but the next thing I know I hear a loud bang. Turning around, I see a nice big pile of books and papers in the middle of the hallway and a huge hole at the bottom of my schoolbag.
"why?!" I yell as I kneel down and start picking up my crap.
I feel someone get down next to me and help pick up my things. I stand up as I pick the last of my things up, and so does the stranger.
"Thanks," I say as I grab a couple of loose leafs from him.
"No problem dobe." He says.
My heart hammers against my chest as I look up at the person with that all too familiar voice. As I look into deep dark eyes, I notice a small smirk playing across his face. I can feel my face heating up as I remember the events that happened last weekend night at the party. Sasuke looks down at me, and notice something cross his face, but quickly disappears as it came. Hugging my things to my chest, I look down quickly and start walking off.
"Hey Naruto?" I hear him say.
I stop dead in my tracks and look at him over my shoulders.
"What?" I ask.
"Well we're going to the same class…." Is all he says, as he starts walking up to me.
I sneak glances up at him as we make are way to class in silence. We walk in and take our usual seats, in the back of the class. I notice something different as I start to look around the classroom. Then it hits me each pair of students has either a large poster board or simple white poster decorated nicely. My eyes widen as I finally realize that our project's due today. I whip my head to look at Sasuke, and he has the same horrible look on his face as we stare at each other.
"Shit!" we both say in union as the teacher walks in.
"Damn we forgot to finish the stupid thing!" I whisper loudly to Sasuke.
"Thanks caption obvious!" he hisses back.
I start to panic, this damn thing worth half our grade. Chewing at the tip of my pencil, the teacher calls role.
"So it seems everyone's here today…. Great! So who would like to go first?" she ask the class as she scans across the room. Not a single student raises their hand. "Okay then, I guess I'll just have to pick my volunteer."
She scans the room once more searching, for her prey. Sasuke and I duck our heads behind a couple of other students in front of us so she won't be able to see us, but no such luck. My bad luck's running a mean streak today.
"Okay Sasuke , Naruto come up and present your project!" she calls us as she waves us to the front of the classroom.
"Uh… can you get back to us? We want to go last!" I say.
"No I picked you two so come on."
I looked at Sasuke, he just shrugs and stands; I follow him to the front of the class. We stand there for a good solid minute doing nothing but stand there.
"Well…Where is it?" she finally asks and breaking the silence.
"We didn't get it done." Sasuke says as he just stares out over the students daring anyone to laugh.
"What you mean?"
"What it sounds like, we didn't finish it." He says simply as he looks at her.
She glares at us both, "See me after class Sasuke….you too Naruto." She says through clenched teeth. "Now get back to your seats!"
I scurry back to my desk as Sasuke just walks slowly behind me.
"She scares me." I say mostly to myself.
"You can say that again." I hear Sasuke whisper back.
So unfortunately for Sasuke and I, we got stuck staying after school for a 2 hour detention. We also have to make up the rest of our project if we want any credit at all for it, and it's due by the end of this week. We also got stuck having detention for the rest of the week also so we have to work on it during our time here, but not today.
I sneak a glance at Sasuke from the across the room, but I end up catching him staring at me. My face heats up and I quickly look away and try to distract myself. Playing with a piece of wood hanging from the side of the desk, I jump and yelp loudly due to my cell vibrating. Taking it out, I flip it open and see a new text from Yoko. I click on the 'Read' button to open it up.
[ Hey =) ]
[ Wat do u want? -_- ] I text back.
[ =( r u still mad me? ]
[ …maybe ]
[ but y? =,( ]
[ cuz u set me up! ]
[ but now u no its him! ]
[ … ya but still… u could've warned me]
[ ya ur right… im sorry … I just thought I'd surprise u and u'd be happy! I mean if tht kiss didn't mean u were happy then idk wat would ]
[ I am happy!... but not the same time its hard 2 explain…. O/O wat?! U saw tht!?]
[Yes XD it was sooooooo cute! Well explain b/c I want to no.]
I bite my bottom lip as my face turns a deep shade of red as I remember about the kiss we had and the fact that Yoko was watching. Rereading the message she send me I start to wonder how I should reply back.
"Hey dobe!"
I jump at the booming sound of his voice in the quite classroom. As I look up at him I see him staring at me with a rather peculiar expression.
"What teme? What do you want?" I reply back with a snappy attitude.
"Who you talking to?" he mutters rather softly.
My eyes widen just a bit at his question but, I quickly compose myself "Humph… it's really none of your business." I tell him as I wave him off.
He gives me a nasty glare and turns back around on his seat. I stare at the back of his head in utter confusion.
'What was all that about?'
Blinking a couple of times from what just happened, I shrug it off. I go back to my phone and reply back.
[ its complicated … but I'll try to explain… come over 2nite ]
