A/N-trying to keep Sakura IC here..and again, thanks for the reviews everyone. This chapter is kinda boring I think. No fun fluff here.
Chapter 4-The Flower Observes
~Sakura POV~
When I got to the meeting place today, Sasuke was already there. I was hoping to have some time..you know, alone with him, for once, but right when I get there who shows up? Naruto. As if he'd been following me, which he wasn't. I would have known, as he makes enough noise for the three of us. As soon as he appeared he yelled "Ohayooooo Sakura-chan!"
Annoying. Very annoying. One of the reasons I love Sasuke-he doesn't talk too much, like Naruto. Sure, he hardly talks at all, but better than the ramen-slurping loudmouth. He keeps talking and talking and talking. I don't think he's noticed I'm not listening.
"Mou! I'm not listening to a word you say, idiot!" That shut him up.
He looked quite hurt. I don't really like doing that to him, but he's just so annoying sometimes. I thought I saw Sasuke looking over at me after I did that, but he turned away as soon as he saw me looking at him.
Kakashi was late, as usual. Today it's a D-rank mission. Damn those missions suck. Right now we're painting a sign for a store. I'm doing the right side, Naruto the middle, and Sasuke the left. Naruto keeps inching over to my side. I can't tell if he's trying to get farther away from Sasuke or closer to me. They've been acting a bit odd today, and they haven't spoken at all today. They don't say much anyway, but I can feel the tension there. Man, Naruto is getting a little too close.
"Oi! Get back on your own side, baka!" Or I'll beat you to a bloody pulp. Every time Sasuke looks over he's in the way. He's always in the way.
"Sorry Sakura-chan," He inches to the left a little.
"You're still on my side! Get back in the middle!" That got him. He's back in his own spot now. Every time he gets closet to Sasuke, you can feel tension in the air. Did they fight after training yesterday? I swear I saw both of them go home. It's odd. I think even Kakashi noticed; he doesn't seem quite so interested in his porn today. I may ask him about this later.
I'm trying to think back to yesterday's training session. Naruto and Sasuke exchanged their usual insults, and sparred a bit after Kakashi arrived (late). We practiced shuriken throwing, Naruto tried to get Sasuke and Kakashi but it didn't work...and even then they were speaking. Just insulting each other, really. I don't think it means anything to either of them, what they say to each other. It seems they just do it out of habit now, so nothing they said to each other could be what's affecting them now.
There he goes again. I'd shove him into Sasuke if I didn't love the guy (Sasuke, not Naruto). I'll just shove him in that direction.
Ah shit. The clumsy idiot tripped and knocked over Sasuke, and now they're covered in paint. Kakashi-sensei is having a good laugh. This is not funny!.......well, maybe a little. Both of them are covered in blue and red paint. Oddly enough, they aren't swearing at each other. Swearing to themselves, yes, but not at each other. This is getting weirder and weirder! They aren't talking at all today! Last week they would have been damning each other to hell and now they don't say a thing.
Kakashi says they can't change until the mission is completed. Naruto is whining like never before, Sasuke just looks pissed. They're ignoring each other like never before. What is going on? I wonder if Kakashi knows....he's definitely paying more attention to them than to his book.
"Ano, sensei...have you noticed Naruto and Sasuke-kun acting a little different today?"
"Mm."
I suppose that's an affirmative.
"Do you know what it is?"
"Paint. You have two more missions to complete today,"
Do the other teams have senseis annoying as this one? Sometimes he just makes my blood boil. And I paint. We all paint.
There goes Naruto again, edging near me again. Now he's covered with paint and it's still wet. Still, I feel a little sorry for him. If Kakashi won't tell me what's going on (ha! I bet he doesn't know either) maybe he will? He never shuts up anyway. Though he hasn't said much while we've been painting.
"Hey, Naruto..what's going on with you and Sasuke today? And get back on your own side; I don't want that paint on my clothes,"
He looks over at Sasuke for a second, and since he's facing the other way, so I can't read his expression. He looks back at me with that ever- present grin on his face, but it doesn't reach his eyes. Could a simple training fight have done this?
Now I feel a hatred for this boy, more than before. There's the underlying dislike that everyone in the village feels, but now.Why should he and Sasuke have this rivalry, this strange relationship while I have nothing? He ignores me like he is ignoring Naruto right now, but I know it's different. I know. You can see it in the way they argue, the way they fight; they way they look at each other. Even if Sasuke could recognize me like that, I would be happy.
"..and there isn't anything going on we're always like this aren't we I mean he never talks to me unless he's calling me an idiot, so what gives now? I'm glad he hasn't said anything to me today, the ass hole,"
Dammit. I wasn't listening. I hope I haven't missed anything important.
"Anyway I was coming over here to tell you I'm finished with my side and I was wondering if you needed any help to finish.."
"No, that's ok. I'm just finishing now."
I notice Kakashi has been watching us while we've been talking, and Sasuke has too, and he turns away again.
"Now that you're all done, we have another mission to do,"
I don't think Sasuke was looking at me.

Don't worry, I have at least three more chapters planned.
