Those Sharingan Eyes
Chapter 2: Suspicion
--
--
"Naruto! Are you okay? Can you hear me?" Her cries of inquiry were torn from her throat, no subtleness to her tone. She continued in her pleas, posistioning her hands over his completley blood-covered torso. Immediately a bright blue light started to eminate from her hands.
Sasuke's stern eyes were focused on them, he had alerady began to flare his senses out.
"What?" Sakura's amost flabbergasted inquiry was more sounded to herself as the blue light continued to eminate from her hands. "Why isn't he healing?" Her voice nearly cracked with both her dissapointment and greif, also confusion.
Sasuke's eyes almost squinted in speculation as his head snapped to the side. Without a word he walked into an another open room, his deep obsidian gaze transitioning around. He almost paused as his gaze transitioned on a closet a few feet away. He did not bring his gaze to look at Sakura who rounded the same corner, greif in her eyes as she opened her mouth to say something.
"Sakura, get out of here." He almost cut her off before she could even speak, his command firm.
"But, Naruto, he's-he's not!-"
"Forget about him, Sakura." His voice was calm, stoic, yet almost spoken soothingly.
"What?No!-"
"Its not him Sakura!" His small temper activated his Sharingan as his annoyance peaked its height. Sakura froze, her wide eyes staring at him. "Its a clone." He spoke more calmly before setting his eyes on the closet once again. He was about to move towards the source of his gaze, but Sakura's silence drew his attention back to her. It had been a quick glance, the transition of his eyes to her, but they returned in another long gaze as he noticed her condition.
She was frozen to her spot, her eyes wide as if she was frightened to death. He immediately let the Sharingan fade from his eyes. A breif moment passed where they hadlocked gazes. And when that first sparkle glimmered in Sakura's eyes, Sasuke slightly raised himself, as if to say something. He didn't have the chance as she turned on her heal, sprinting from the house.
He looked after her, in the direction she had left for a longer moment of time before letting out a hardly discernable release of breath, and refocusing his gaze to the closet. He started, almost casually walking towards it, hands in his pockets. Muffled noises were coming from its direction.
--------
"Get off me!" A familiar voice whispered harshly. It was clear, even in the shadows that another figure sat upon the head of another.
No other voice responded in reply.
"How can you still read that book anyway?" The other spoke up again. "Get off me!"
Lots of fuss could be heard as a slight wrestiling match seemed to ensue, various object around crashing to the ground as bodies thumped against the surrounding closed space.
------
Sasuke stopped as the closet door was knocked off its hinges. As it fell flat down, the source of its breakage came rolling out, finally stopping in his fall slightly farther than the door. Sasuke's sharingan gaze slightly squinted in speculation before he dashed towards that person, pushing them up and towards a wall, kunai grasped in his hand, and held at the throat.
"Sasuke, it's me!" Naruto voice hollared out in slight suprise, his deep cerulean eyes burning into his. His blonde locks of hair were disgruntled, flying in every direction. Even as Naruto said this, Sasuke did not stop. If anything, he pushed his kunai deeper into Naruto's throat, a small tread of blood trickling down his neck in result.
"Teme! What the hell!" Naruto slightly tilted his head upwards, his lips almost upturning into a snarl.
"Sakura freaked out." His voice was cool, monotone, void of emotion as always, but it was clear that he was slightly unhappy. "Tell me what occured in that empty brain of yours to think of doing this."
"Hey, it wasn't my idea! It was Kakashi's!" It was then that both slightly paused as they looked over into the closests depths, exposed to the blown door. As if on que, the silver-haired jounin lifted his head from his book that he had been reading, even under the circumstances.
"Hm?" Was his only reply, as if he was obliviuous to what had happened. Then as if it had clicked, Kakashi's head rose a little further as he let out an "ah". "No, I had been on my way to meet you guys, slightly late because I had been walking an old lady down the market street carrying her bags. I was passing Naruto's house, and to my surprise he was still here." The jounin simply walked out of the closet, giving the two a small salute before walking out of the house casually. When he walked out the door, a small moment passed before he popped his head back in breifly.
"You have the day off. Ja!" With that he dissapeared.
Sasuke didn't look back to Naruto as he released him from his hold. "You go find Sakura and explain to her how stupid you are."
---------
Their destination had taken to two teamates to the same place, their gazes locking on to the pink-haired kunoichi in the distance. She seemed to notice them to, and she got up from her sitting position.
"Naruto!" She called. Both stopped as she started making her way towards them, her walk slow. As she neared it was obvious that she had been crying. But her face mimicked Sasuke's in its stoicness. She was very unreadable at that moment.
"Sakura
"Sakura-chan-."He was cut off as Sakura's fist slammed into his face. Naruto fell to the ground, bracing himself as he hit the ground. Though he immediately sat up, looking at Sakura with slight suprise, yet knowingness.
"What sick joke were you trying to play?" Her inquiry was spoken with distaste, slight greif. "What thought went through your head to make you even think about doing this?" Tears were flowing freely from her eyes once again. "Especially now when.." Sakura fell on her knees and began sobbing.
His deep obsidian eyes squinted in speculation as he watched Sakura. Her behavior was very odd. In the past if Naruto would do something stupid like this, a few smacks over the head would have marked the head, Sakura would be angry, not greif-stricken. Something was very wrong. And both him and Naruto, the friends she met with everyday, talked to everyday were absolutely clueless.
--------
"Sasuke, I said I would walk Sakura home!" Naruto's complaint sounded his ears, but he didn't not reply, nor did he have the intention to.
A small while ago they had left the busy streets of Konoha, taking a somewhat long cobble-stoned path surrounded on either side by forest, only a small wall of concrete seperate them from the trees. At the other end of this walkway was another section of Konoha's busy streets. A prolonged amount of time now he had no desire to speak, for a prolonged amount of time he attention was focused on Sakura; her movements had gotten abruplty cautious, and deep obsidian eyes observing his face lead sight to the muscles in her jaw slightly clenching, even as she tried to hold the small smile to her lips. Her emerald gazes was constantly trained behind her with her constant, feignfully casual glances behind her.
Naruto had grown uncannily silent as well. Could he have noticed too?
Where Naruto had found himself positioned in between him and Sakura, the Uchiha casually moved himself to the side so that he walked on Sakura's other side, the two teamates acting as a barracade.
His senses tingled as a presence made itself manifest behind them, yards away. With each passing second its distance from them would decrease. Swiftly and subtly, Sasuke pulled out a kunai, expertly flinging it behind the group, succesfully hitting the intruder. As both Naruto and Sakura stopped along with him, gazes transitioned to see a Naruto clone dissapear into a puff of smoke.
"Dobe." Was all Sasuke said, the annoyance he was feeling not running through his montone vocals.
"Ah! Sasuke-teme you ruined it!" While he seemed slightly upset and frustrated, the humor and mischeviousness was clearly heard. Same was the suprised grunt of pain as Sakura hit him upside the head.
"Baka!"
Sasuke watched Sakura, noticing her body seemed more relaxed. It would lead to the impression that her source of tension could have been Naruto, but..she had been looking in a completley opposite direction.
He didn't know what was going on with her.
But it was annoying the hell out of him.
---------
"Thanks Naruto…Sasuke-kun, see you tomorrow." The two teamates had stopped a few feet before her door, watching her as she spoke her call. Though she paused before entering her now open door, turning back around to face them half way. It looked like she was about to say something, but Naruto's booming voice sounded their ears as he spoke, obviously not realizing Sakura was about to.
"Hey Sakura-chan, we don't have training tomorrow so do you wanna hang out with us?"
"Us?" Sasuke immediately inquired, noticing the added implyment that he was going. Though Naruto ignored him, continuing.
"Yea we're gonna go to Ichiraku Ramen. The tabs on Sasuke." Hands in his pockets, Sasuke lazily looked at the number one loud ninja in a sort of glare. He saw as Sakura's releived yet unsure eyes looked at both of them, and then to Sasuke in a sort of conformation. Not denying Naruto claim, he slightly nodded his head, in a way letting Sakura know that he was with Naruto in the invitation.
"Oh ok. Yea." She gave them a breif smile before turning back around, and entering the door.
The area by her door was slightly opaque, lightless from no source of light. The pink-haired kunochi let out a sigh as she leaned her back against the door, slightly tilting her head up as she closed her eyes.
She ran a hand through her hair before lightly pushing herself off the door, and walking along the glossy wooden floor. Her destination lead her to her bathroom, as she slipped in before closing the door behind her.
She let out yet another sigh as she made her way to the bathtub, sitting herself at the tub's end before reaching her hand to twist the nozzles; water immediately started emptying itself into the tub.
Flashback
"It's not him, Sakura!"
Blood Red Sharingan invaded her gaze, its peircing sound reverbirating through the hollows of her ears.
End Flashback
She ran another hand through her hair as she let out a large release of breath, a small sniffle sounding after. Her eyes were dulled as she sat there, not noticing the continuous rising of the level of water that filled the tub. It was only when she reached her hand to shut off that water did she freeze, emerald eyesgrowing wide.
No..
