Chappie 17: A NEW PROBLEM
"So...." Ino started. "Umm Tenten and you are going for the science fair. Why so quick? Thats not until the spring. We're just going into fall!"
Shikamaru smirked. "Its better to start early and to habve it done."
She snorted placing her cup down on the counter. They were at a bar eating lunch. It was a 24 hour joint. She put down her half of the bill. "Thanks... " She jumped down from the red stool and walked out the door. Apparently pissed.
He sighed. "Ino!" He jumped down following her.
"EH! You need to pay your half young man!" The chef called. But Shikamaru never heard him.
Outside the restaraunt, Ino stood leaning on a stop sign.
"Ino..." Shikamaru tapped her. "Whats wrong with you?"
"As if you don't know..." She moved her shoulder away form his grasp. She turned and glared at him. "I'm going home. Thanks alot."
Shikamaru said nothing, and let her go. 'Maybe she just needs to blow off some steam...'.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura sat in her desk wrting in her journal.
'Today, I got back from Itachi's date! We had a really good time. He bought me all kinds of wonderful things, and he rubbed oil on me. I felt so refreshed after. It was so romantic.
But then, Neji proposed to me! I knew he liked me, but I guess I sort of tortured him going on that date with Itachi. I really wanted to apologize but the words just wouldn't come out. Speaking of proposals, my dad will freak! I'm going out with a senior and a boy just asked me to marry him! I guess I am the woman of all mens dreams!!!! I really shouldn't say that though. Augh... I'm getting egotistical!'
Sakura lifted her head when she heard a knock at her window. She got up out of her chair and headed towards it.
"Itachi?" Sakura opened the window to face the hanesome man she had just spent the night with. "What are you doing here?"
"I came here to drop off your stuff remember?" Itachi said smoothly.
"Oh thats right!" Sakura happily let the window up as far as she could get it. "Here, you pass it up and I'll put it in my room." She whispered.
"Nice thinking. Thats my baby." Itachi opened his SUV and picked up two bags.
For a few minutes they worked to get all the bags up to the window. On the last load Itachi felt the latter move. He looked down and saw... "Sasuke?" Sasuke with the fiercest eyes stared at his brother above him.
Sakura looked down out the window. "SASUKE?" She cried. Sasuke knocked down the latter with Itachi going with it. "Sasuke stop it!"
The youngest Uchiha said nothing. He walked to his fallen brother.
"Ugh..." Itachi felt his head. "I'm going to feel that in the morning." He grumbled.
Sasuke lifted Itachi by his collar. "What are you doing here?" He hissed.
Itachi smirked, then knocked Sasuke's hand off his collar with his arm. "I haven't seen you in a while. What are doing here little brother."
"Don't dick with me! You know why I'm here! To protect Sakura from you!"
Sakura leaned out the window. "Stop it Sasuke! Leave Itachi alone! He hasn't done anything wrong!"
"Damn right he hasn't done anything! I'm sure he has told you about his killing sprees!" He yelled back.
Sakura held her hands to her face. "Itachi...." She whispered. "I know you... killed people, but sprees?"
Itachi sighed. "Sakura don't listen to him!"
"You can't lie to her... Cause I won't let you!" Sasuke attacked Itachi. Sasuke attacked with a right hook, then Itachi dodged.
"Go back to bed!" Itachi teased.
"Go to hell you bastard!" Sasuke went for another blow but Itachi drew a gun to his head.
"Now..." He clicked the gun off safety. "Something told me that someone was going to ruin this evening. And who would know it'd be you."
"ITACHI! NO! DON'T SHOOT HIM!" Sakura cried.
Sasuke trembled under the pressure of the gun. "Your still in the streets... If your so tough, SHOOT ME!"
"No!" Sakura cried. "Stop it! Both of you!"
"Shoot me dammit!" Sasuke yelled. "I'm better off dead if your with her... " He looked to Sakura who was crying. "Sakura, I'm sorry if I hurt you these past years. I knew if I was with you, I would be happy. But somewhere inside me I didn't want to be. Forgive me."
"Your saying that as if your going to die..." Sakura said in a shakey voice.
Itachi put the gun back in his jacket. "I'm not going to shoot you in front of Sakura. It'll ruin her innocent mind."
"If you don't shoot me now, it'll bite you in the behind later."
"Hmph...." Itachi looked up the street. He heard the sounds of sirens. "Hmm... the fuzz."
"No one uses the term anymore I think..." Sasuke growled.
Itachi looked up to Sakura. "I'll see you Monday." He hopped in his SUV and drove.
Sasuke dropped to the ground. He gasped for air. He was almost killed that moment.
Sakura ran out the front door and flopped beside him. "Sasuke... Sasuke... Are you you alright?" (Old habits take over....) She rubbed his back.
"I'm fine..." Sasuke whispered. He looked up to her. "I'm sorry, but I-"
"Shhh... don't say a word. I know you meant to protect me, but you can't. I'm sorry, but I love him." The sirens grew louder and louder as it approched. "You really shouldn't be here. If my mom and dad woke up and found you and the police with me, I'll be grounded for life. You have to leave."
Sasuke got up and ran. But as he did, Sakura felt the love for him run away with him. "I'M SORRY SASUKE!" She yelled after him. He tears fell down her pink cold cheeks. "I'm sorry..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Monday morning. At the high school. First period.
"What the hell happened at your house? The police were there! The neighboors in the newspaper claim they heard people screaming 'don't shoot' or some crap like that!" Ino slammed her fists on Sakura's desk waiting for an answer.
"I have no idea what you or the neighboors are talking about." Sakura said stacking her papers nonchalantly.
Ino grew wide eyed. "No idea? Whats your problem?!"
"My problem is boys..." Sakura stuck out her tongue. "I have three thats begging for my attention."
Ino gasped. "Neji and who else?"
"GACK! How'd you know it was Neji?"
Ino sighed. "Girl, the way you two make puppy faces at each other is sick. I wanna gag myself with a spoon..."
"Well, C'mere..." Sakura motioned for Ino to confide a secret. "Neji asked me to marry him."
"WHAAAAAAAT!?" Ino screamed. The whole class stopped and turned to the two girls. Even Iruka who was writing the lesson on the board.
"*ahem* You girls have a problem?" Iruka asked gently.
"No sir..." Ino giggled trying to butter him up.
"Then I suggest you move to your seat and prepare for the lesson."
Ino sat in her seat. She looked over to Neji who was writing in his notebook. 'Him? I had no idea he had guts for that kind of stuff. Still MAARIAGE!? IT AIN'T FAIR!' She glared at Shikamaru.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
4th period
Ino snuck up behind Hinata in the locker room. "HEY!"
"WHA!" Hinata screamed. "What? What is it?"
"I have something to tell you..." Ino whispered. All of a sudden all of the girls listened intentively. "Not all of you!"
They all "awww...." and went back to changing. "Hinata, Sakura told me Neji proposed to her!"
Of couse Hinata already knew this. She was happy inside that Neji really asked her. But she never knew the answer. "What did she say?"
"Sakura still doesn't know. Theres another boy that wants her. So shes stuck really..." Ino laughed. 'Its probably that weirdo I saw her with... Hmm...' She stopped suddenly and looked at Hinata. "Your still steady with Naruto right?"
"Yeah... Why?"
"Can I borrow him?" Ino asked evily.
The class waited for Kakashi to show up on the bleachers. Everyone was chatting contently in their own little groups. Sakura, Hinata, Ino and Naruto in one group.
"What do you need to borrow me for?" Naruto asked.
Ino wasn't listening though. She was glaring over to Tenten and Shikamaru talking. She was laughing at everything Shikamaru was saying. And Shikamaru was actually believeing that he was funny.... Ino swore under her breath.
"HEEEEELLLLOOO?!!" Naruto yelled in her ear.
"DAMN YOU! Can't you tell I was deep in thought!?" Ino wanted to choke the boy.
"No."
Ino simmered and calmed down. "Can't you see him over there with Tenten?" She pointed toward the couple.
"Wow. Are they going out?" Naruto asked densely.
"Oh my God.... help me..." Ino sighed. "No Naruto... They aren't I'm going out with him. And he's hanging out with her instead of me."
"Well, what do I have to do with it!?"
"I'm going to use you to make him jealous! Sakura, doesn't that sound great?!" Ino happily chirpped.
Sakura said nothing. She leaned on another seat above her. "Uh?"
"Are you still drooling over Neji?" Ino said.
"No." Sakura lied. "I think your idea is alright. But don't you think its kind of unlady like?"
"Hmmm yeah. But I'm just a lady ready to squeeze the leash on my dog. Thats all." She said polishing her nails on her gym suit.
Hinata shuddered. 'I hate to see it when shes really jealous.'
Naruto huffed. "I'm not doing your evil plan against Shikamaru."
"Its not evil! Get it right!" Ino turned. "I have to use someone to get him jealous...."
"You could use me." Kakashi popped up.
"KEEP OUT OF IT!" Ino yelled throwing a basketball at him.
*Thats was a little short. Hee hee. Well, I better get this fic going again. I just haven't had the right mind since school started I guess. I feel like its really boring. Hrmm... Maybe I outta wait till summer to continue this! j/k. I really hope I can brainstorm a little more than usual. I guess reading and reviewing could do me some good! PLEASE! ^___^ READ N REVIEW!
