Chapter 2 - Sasuke and Sakura
Everyone was gone. There were only Sasuke and Naruto eating ramen and *sake. Both were now friends, best friends. Sasuke didn't have any companions at all. He was popular but he was busy plotting vengeance. Maybe that's what it seems like. Who knows? Sasuke was consumed by the darkness Itachi planted in Sasuke. He was an avenger and his brother was still at large. Now, he was just..Uchiha Sasuke, a man that is eating ramen with his best friend. Naruto's blue eyes were fixed on his ramen while talking to Sasuke. Ecstatic, he looked like a dog wagging its tail. Sasuke looked like a lonely wolf. Sasuke's elbow was on the table, supporting his chin. The Jounin was constantly drinking glasses of sake like it was water while looking at Naruto with melancholic eyes. Naruto held his bowl and finished his ramen, including the soup. He wiped his face with his arms and yelled,
"It's good to have you back!"
"...Me too you idiot."
Sasuke forced himself a weak smile. Inwardly, he wanted to end the conversation and talk about Sakura. He wanted to know if she is okay. For the last few hours, all he knew was that Sakura was a Jounin....
-----------------------------------------------------(flash back)----------- --------------------------------------------------
"..So, is Sakura fine?"
There was another pause Sasuke heard after mentioning the pink-haired girl. What the hell was wrong with everyone?
"Damn it. what the hell is wrong?! Why are you all quiet whenever I mention her?!"
"Sasuke..there's something you should know"
The Jounin remained silent. He was eager to know about her. After all, Sakura was his companion and probably the only girl that he ever cared about in his life (excluding his mother). He had every right to know about her. She was his teammate, his nakama. She was Sakura. He began remembering the times when Sakura asked him out and the times when her hair was long. She was cute. However Sasuke was never interested in the opposite sex. He was simply interested in his revenge. Period. Shikamaru was slightly hesitant of whether he should talk about this or not. Sasuke glared at him to continue. He was ticked off over everyone.
'Spit it out.'
Sasuke thought. Shikamaru moved his lips,
"Sakura is a Jounin."
Sasuke was now literally pissed off. He knew that already and Kakashi already mentioned it. The Jounin rolled his eyes and barked,
"Yes, I know that crap Nara Shikamaru."
Sasuke was now tired of incessantly mentioning this over again. He gave a deep sigh. He now gave up on knowing about Sakura. He just wanted to rest for a day and meet his new students and live up to his dreams: The revival of the Uchiha clan and his revenge. He stood up and walked away from the table.
"I'll just go."
---------------------------------------------------(end of flash back)------ ------------------------------------------------
....
"oy, Sasuke! Hellooo?"
Naruto put his hand in front of Sasuke and waved. Sasuke realized he dozed off thinking about what happened few hours ago. He pondered.
'Is there something about Sakura I shouldn't know? I don't care. As long as she is-'
"Sasuke?!"
"Hm?"
"You haven't even touched your tofu ramen. What's wrong?"
"Nothing,"
He lied.
"Come on Sasuke don't lie. Especially when you're not good at it."
"I'm FINE.."
"Don't hide from me."
Inwardly, he wanted to shout about Sakura. However he didn't want anyone to misunderstand that he..
"....Tell me about Sakura. I have every right to know how my teammate's doing.."
Sasuke said calmly. Although he was tired of mentioning about her, he gave his last try. If Naruto did not say anything about his comrade, he was going to give it up. But Sasuke doesn't give up easily. He is stubborn. He is Uchiha Sasuke. Naruto smiled. Not happily, but sadly, hating him.
"...I have every right to know Naruto..."
Naruto closed his blue eyes. His face was now filled with sorrow and guilt. Naruto opened his eyes and tried to explain about why he couldn't but Sasuke cut him off by saying more,
"...Sakura is my *Nakama."
Naruto put his chopsticks down and looked at Sasuke in the eye. His eyes were dark, full of hate, anger and vengeance. This is what his brother made him as, this is what the world turned him into: an avenger. Sasuke only had three people in the world he cared about. It was Kakashi, Naruto..
"Spit it out Naruto. I need to know about her."
.. and Sakura.
'I guess you are right...friend.'
Sasuke glared at Naruto furiously, waiting for a response. This wasn't Naruto or Sasuke. Sasuke never cared about anyone and Naruto was always hyper. Who knew that seven years could change them like this? Naruto looked at Sasuke with pain.
'If only you knew the truth you jerk..'
"There is a reason why I haven't been telling this when we were sitting in a group-"
Sasuke focused on listening to Naruto with undivided attention. Naruto couldn't help but feel pitiful for himself. Furthermore, the Chuunin was getting angry while trying to tell him. How can he do this? Naruto gulped as he closed his eyes and sweated.
"Sakura has changed."
This was not enough for the Jounin. He wanted more. Sasuke was still glaring at him waiting for Naruto to continue.
"How has she changed?"
"...Sasuke, the day when you left her, you sucked the happiness out of her!"
Naruto was furious. It was as if he was waiting for this day to come, to spit anger he had inside at him. The Jounin said nothing. He was shocked, feeling that he somewhat deserved it. Somewhat. On the other hand, Sasuke said nothing with calm face. His elbows were on the table with both of his hands on his face. Naruto was even more infuriated to see Sasuke cool instead of being surprised.
"Is that so?"
Sasuke sat there slightly drunk from all that sake. Naruto looked like he was going to beat him any minute. Although Sasuke knew this, he was still relaxed without showing his weak side
'You jerk..How could you do this to her?! She-'
"Tell me more."
Naruto couldn't take it any longer. I guess some people don't change. Sasuke was one of them. But why the hell would he be asking about her and remain silent? Uchiha Sasuke was hard to understand. Their very blood proves it so. They have potential talent and power with no limits and people like Itachi could murder their very own clan. After eleven years, Naruto still didn't understand. Sasuke still remained mysterious.
"..Ever since the day you left her, Sakura changed. She became quite hostile to people. It's quite rare to see her-happy. Ino, Hinata, Lee, Kakashi sensei and I are the only ones who can cheer her up. She's having her own revenge.. on you."
Sasuke was now literally traumatized. He must be inhumane to do this to her, Sakura, his nakama...
'What have I done?'
he yelled inside his head. Utterly shocked, he began drinking more sake. The ramen shop remained silent for about five minutes. As Sasuke began eating his ramen he saw his reflection. He now hated it. For he was the one who took away Sakura's bliss. What if he could never see that heartwarming smile in his life anymore?
"How strong is she?"
"Let's just say that she is probably the most strongest female Jounin in her age. She's Jiraiya's student-"
Sasuke dropped his chopsticks and nearly choked when he said 'Jiraiya's student.' No one, NO ONE was ever Jiraiya's student. He was always busy with his *ecchi novel and he didn't like to be involved in things. The sage only loved writing his smut. This was very unorthodox.
"WHAT? What the hell? Jiraiya's a pervert! Sakura's a-"
"Sakura's a girl and Jiraiya doesn't mind. Hehehe.."
Naruto gave his famous laugh. He knew that anyone would be shocked over that matter. Even Sasuke. Naruto simply continued.
"She can also summon like me! And she is strong, REALLY strong."
Sasuke was astonished. Sakura, strong. It was never meant to be. Still he was relieved to see Sakura isn't the weakling anymore. On the other hand, she doesn't like him anymore.
'Oh god..'
Sasuke's face now sad, tried to make conversation. Naruto was focused intently on his ramen.
"What does she look like?"
"Beautiful, all the guys are in love with her but she isn't interested in guys anymore, she's..."
Although this was too painful for Sasuke, he still wanted more. He deserved it and he needs to know about his..friend.
"..She's just like you. An avenger, a person who is focused on becoming strong and nothing else."
As Naruto's words became worse, Sasuke kept drinking and drinking.
Until he drank seven bottles.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Sasuke was completely drunk.
Naruto, knowing what to do supported Sasuke on his shoulder and walked with him to his house. The Uchiha's house was preserved. Naruto would always come here and clean it. For the sake of his best friend. Now, he regretted, wondering why he did this crap to a person who broke Sakura's heart.
"We're here ya drunk bastard."
"Thanz Sakra."
"Shut up and I'm not Sakura."
Sasuke, misunderstanding Naruto as Sakura hugged him. He was sincere. But it was too bad that it wasn't Sakura. Naruto furiously blushed as he dragged him to his room. Sasuke finally spoke,
"I'm sorry..."
Naruto, hearing this, simply walked away. Because.. He wasn't Sakura Haruno.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
The next day, Ino, Hinata were at Sakura's house helping Sakura clean her house. When Hinata entered the house she was horrified. Hinata never ever saw a girl's house this untidy before in her life. Pucca ran towards Hinata, jumping.
"Hey Pucca~"
Hinata smiled. Pucca was an unspecified mutt Sakura found in the streets. Even though Sakura changed, she wasn't cold-hearted. Ino was already there cleaning, organizing and lecturing. Hinata gave her usual smile as she saw both girls arguing and cleaning.
"Hinata, thank god you're here. Sakura is insane! Look at this place! Is this a pigsty or what? Poor Pucca, how the heck does he live here? Sakura! Next time, FOLD your clothes after you change and put it in the 'closet.' Ah! I've found your 'missing' tank top-"
"Gosh Ino, like you could do better?"
"Um, duh? I could do way better!"
"Oh shush Ino-pig-"
"Say it at my face fore-head girl!"
Both continued arguing as Hinata tiptoed to the bathroom to change into the same clothes Sakura and Ino were wearing. The girls were wearing overalls with Bandanas on their heads. Hinata walked out of the Bathroom with the same boring attire.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
'What is this place?'
Sasuke stood up and walked as he was yawning. The place was clean with Sasuke's old clothes neatly folded. It was his old house. On his desk was a note. It had messy writing on it. The note said:
Sasuke, I've worked my ass off of cleaning this place for the last seven years. Why didn't you sort things out when you lived here? Anyway, Now that you're back I don't give a damn about this house anymore. You should probably buy the other stuff yourself cuz everything's out of date. Gotta go
Naruto
Sasuke also saw that there was more.
P.S - You misunderstood me as Sakura. Don't you ever kiss me again you dirty bastard!
Sasuke face was red. He kissed NARUTO. Of all the people why him?! Does that mean..?
"Goddamn it! I kissed him!"
He ignored the incident as he checked if everything was okay. His house was clean. He was amazed that Naruto did this for him. He began to think of the letter and blushed. He tried to wipe that off of mind as he collected his money and headed to the store.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
The job was finally done. Sakura's house was squeaky clean.
"Wow, I thought this would take hours or even days! Can you believe this only took three hours?"
"Yeah-"
"Hey! It wasn't that messy!"
Both Ino and Hinata stared at Sakura when she said it wasn't 'that messy.' If this wasn't messy, what is messy? It was a pigsty for Yondaime's sake! Sakura laughed and laughter spread inside the house. This was friendship. Ino, Hinata and Sakura and no one else. Both were relieved to see Sakura happy again. As the three changed into their normal clothes, Ino shouted,
"Movie!!! Let's watch a movie!"
"Which one Ino?"
Hinata questioned her. Ino was ecstatic once Hinata asked.
"That movie we couldn't watch-"
"Oh that!"
"Everybody loved it but apparently we couldn't remember? So were gonna rent it right now! And Sakura is going to do all the rest!"
Sakura groaned and whined.
"WHY ME?"
"Cuz we had to work our butts off to clean YOUR house so it serves you right to go fetch popcorn and rent it while we wait."
Ino stuck her tongue out. She always won. However, Sakura wanted to play along this time. She was in a happy mood so why not play along?
"It's okay Ino, I'll go-"
Hinata was quite confident compared to seven years ago but she wasn't normal. Sometimes her fingers were fidgeting and her mouth was stuttering. This was one of those rare moments.
"No lets make it fair! Whoever loses in rock, paper, scissors gets to go."
"Okay."
"Why not?"
Both agreed to what Ino said. And so they did.. But Sakura lost. Out of the three Hinata was always lucky while Sakura always lost. However she was the strongest out of the three. She was a Jounin.
"Rock paper Scissors!"
"Yay~"
Both Ino and Sakura had scissors while Hinata had rock. This time there was this usual rivalry Sakura and Ino used to have when they were thirteen.
"Rock! Paper! Scissors!"
"Yes~!!"
"Oh shoot!"
Sakura had paper.. But Ino had scissors again. Sakura kept complaining as she walked out of the door. When she was gone, Hinata and Ino discussed about Sakura. Of course, they would never talk behind her back. That's why they earned trust. That's why they were best friends. Ino was wearing a beige tank top with khaki Cargo-Capri pants. Hinata was wearing a sleeveless sweater-dress. It was summer and it was scorching. The air- conditioner didn't work very well at Sakura's house so they had to use a fan to cool themselves.
"Gosh, that fore-head girl needs a new AC."
"My hand hurts. I hope Sakura isn't late like last time."
Although men loved her, she was slightly clumsy. One time, Sakura was buying groceries and she accidentally forgot her wallet. Another day, Sakura accidentally broke Kiba's valuable vase that was passed down from generations. Sakura was smart, strong, and pretty but she was somewhat clumsy. After Sasuke left her, she always dozed off to another world, and by the minute, she was always in trouble. Still, Ino and Hinata loved the way she is. She's Sakura.
"Say.. Ino, now that Sasuke is here-"
"Yeah. It probably is. Poor guy. It's too late."
"Still, wouldn't Sakura turn back to Sasuke?"
"No! Sweetie you know her! And besides, yesterday she told me that she is going out with someone. She said I could only tell you."
"Really? Who?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Sakura was running as fast as she could. She was heading to the grocery store. Mean while, Sasuke was calmly walking as he was counting his money. He exactly had 19000yen.
'I guess this could be enough to buy everything I need.'
He wasn't wearing his typical clothes. Instead he was wearing a simple gray shirt with his wristbands. The Jounin was also wearing blue baggy pants that went up to his knees. With his hands in his pockets, he walked around gazing at the village. It surely changed.
[Why the hell am I so unlucky?! Losing to a simple game of Rock,paper,scissors?]
Sakura closed her eyes as her inner self was yelling at her. Then she thought of the man she loved most. He wasn't cute, nor did he have an advanced bloodline. He was just like Sakura.
------------------------------(Inner Sakura: Hell yeah!)-------------------- --------------------------------------
With her eyes still closed-
BAM!!
Someone was laying on top of her.
Both were unconscious.
As She woke up..
"Sakura?!"
Her face was redder than her hair. She was under a stranger! Their lips by coincidence, touched each other's. Sakura laid there helplessly on the ground. Her purse also laid there, waiting to be stolen. His face was blushing furiously. He had baggy shirts and pants. He was very good looking. He was tall dark and handsome..
"Sasuke?"

Sakura was running as fast as she could. She was heading to the grocery store. Mean while, Sasuke was calmly walking as he was counting his money. He exactly had 19000yen.
'I guess this could be enough to buy everything I need.'
He wasn't wearing his typical clothes. Instead he was wearing a simple gray shirt with his wristbands. The Jounin was also wearing blue baggy pants that went up to his knees. With his hands in his pockets, he walked around gazing at the village. It surely changed.
[Why the hell am I so unlucky?! Losing to a simple game of Rock,paper,scissors?]
Sakura closed her eyes as her inner self was yelling at her. Then she thought of the man she loved most. He wasn't cute, nor did he have an advanced bloodline. He was just like Sakura.
------------------------------(Inner Sakura: Hell yeah!)-------------------- --------------------------------------
With her eyes still closed-
BAM!!
Someone was laying on top of her.
Both were unconscious.
As She woke up..
"Sakura?!"
Her face was redder than her hair. She was under a stranger! Their lips by coincidence, touched each other's. Sakura laid there helplessly on the ground. Her purse also laid there, waiting to be stolen. His face was blushing furiously. He had baggy shirts and pants. He was very good looking. He was tall dark and handsome..
"Sasuke?"

A/N: Thank you so much for reading. Really. Review as much as possible and from now on, I'm thinking of putting a small splash page, where I interact with characters or maybe a small section where I answer questions. Oh well, tell me what's best at the review section! An-young~(Korean for bye-bye) #1 Sakura: Sasuke-kun!
Sasuke: (..)
Sakura: See? I'm now a Jounin! Will you go out with me now?
Sasuke: NO. *Sake: Alcohol. *Nakama: friend. *Ecchi: (see hentai)
