A/N: I'm getting so attached to this fic -_- a new character; Yakushi Kabuto has joined the cast. Again, this character has a very dark past in which if you are curious to know go to "Answers" to seek info on him. *Tears* it's so sad and dark it has to be rated R. I'd like to give a big thank you to everyone who has reviewed and you really inspire me to continue. I wouldn't want to stop this fic suddenly as ideas are just flooding in.
~*~ Seasons of Fireworks ~*~
Chapter 4: SorrySasuke cuddled Sakura protectively. He had waited this moment for a long time. He was speechless that Sakura stood tangibly in front of him as her jade eyes gazed deeply into his soul. He could no longer hold down his emotions and kissed her. Her mouth tasted sweet and delicious, he savoured the soft touch of her warm lips against his. He slid his tongue in her mouth to get a better taste and stopped until he couldn't breathe. He took a quick breath and continued to kiss her hungrily again, more roughly and demanding this time.
Naruto could watch no more, he felt like a bystander intruding into their privacy. He slipped back into the darker shadows and walked away. He felt sorrow as well as anger as Sasuke's image burned inside him. He swore that if Sasuke mistreats Sakura he would pay dearly.
Sakura felt cold, protruding lips against her own. They felt soulless and dead, a small shiver crept up her spine. The Sasuke in front of her has changed, his kiss tasted bitter and bland. No longer was it like the same as before. She wondered what had happened to him as it lost the warm touch it used to produce.
"Sakura, forgive me," whispered Sasuke.
Sakura was silent and did not know what to answer. Finally, her curiosity took control over all emotions.
"Why did you leave me?" asked Sakura begging and yelled, "I stood in front of your house for days, waiting for you. I asked your neighbours about your whereabouts but they would not tell me. I searched many days for you but not a trace was found. Don't give me crap that you stayed with your relatives."
It was Sasuke's turn to be silent at Sakura's outburst. Should he tell her? What happens if she thinks he's a murderer and refuses to accept him? He had just gotten back with her and did not want to end it there.
"I… I don't want to talk about the past. Please, give me another chance," replied Sasuke.
"If you still love me, give me some time… Sorry, I can't go out with you until you tell me what had happened but I hope that we can still be friends," said Sakura.
"I'd like to be your friend," said Sasuke softly.
Sakura didn't pursue the answer as she felt Sasuke's discomfort. Perhaps he will tell her one-day. The pair walked silently and parted when Sakura reached her house.
"Goodnight Sakura," said Sasuke as he planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Good night," whispered Sakura and felt a tingle of warmth.
~*~
Naruto walked past the restaurant and continued walking. He needed time to relax and cool off his feelings. He had been walking for a few minutes until he heard a scream.
"Help! Please someone help me," cried a voice from the alleyway.
"Shut up, bitch," yelled a deep male voice.
Naruto forgot about his safety and ran to help the victim. He pulled the old man on top of the girl and punched his face. The old man did not want any trouble so he ran away. Naruto saw a frightened long blonde hair girl in front of him with the help of the bright moonlight. He saw that the top part of her shirt was ripped apart showing a red bra strap. He was glad that he came on time as she still wore her denim jeans. He tried to look for her coat or jacket but it was nowhere in sight.
"Miss, are you ok?" asked Naruto softly as he stripped off his jacket.
The girl saw his action and whimpered, afraid that he may violate her body.
"It's ok, please wear this it's cold," soothed Naruto.
"Thank you," cried the girl as she lifted up her face to meet his.
Naruto smiled a cheesy grin and scratched his head. His warm sea-blue eyes gave Ino life and reassurance back.
"I'm Uzamaki, Naruto Uzamaki," introduced Naruto.
"Yamanaka, Ino Yamanaka," whispered Ino.
"Well, Miss Yamanaka. I hope you have learnt your lesson not to wonder around at night time," lectured Naruto.
They had been walking for an hour until Naruto asked, "Where do you live? Are we heading the right direction?"
"I… I had an argument with my brother-in-law so I ran out. I don't actually have a place to stay," said Ino softly.
"Well, I guess you can stay at my place for a little while…" offered Naruto.

Yakushi Kabuto
He stared at the door hoping that she would come back any minute soon. Suddenly he had a feeling that maybe something bad had happened to her. She had appeared suddenly into his life a year ago, claiming to be Chi's stepsister. She wanted to pursue a singing career and had come all the way from Canada to seek her Chi.
(Durian: I burrowed Chi from Chobits, sorry Hideki. Chi is a very adorable character with very long golden hair.)
She was one of six children of the Yamanaka family; excluding Chi. When she arrived she was devastated that her stepsister had passed away. Ino begged him to let her stay here or she would suicide. He had contacted her family for guardianship of her until she finishes high school and they had happily accepted. One less child to take care of was one less problem for them.
It was his entire fault, flash back of a few hours ago…
Today had been the death date of his precious Chi. He came home in a solemn mood but was angered at Ino's inappropriate set up. She had set a candle-lit table for two and furthermore kissed him on the mouth when he arrived.
Kabuto stared at her in horror. What she said afterwards shocked him even more.
"Do you like the dining I set for us? Kabuto-kun, I have something to tell you," said Ino as she fumbled her fingers.
'Please don't say you have fallen in love with me,' cursed Kabuto.
"I have fallen in love with you," said Ino shyly.
Kabuto was speechless until his eyes caught sight of a crystal, puzzle shaped pendant.
"Where did you get that? Give it back to me," yelled Kabuto.
"I was cleaning the house and I found this under the sofa. It's really pretty, can I keep it?" asked Ino.
"No you may not, give it back to me or you can pack your bags and leave!" shouted Kabuto.
Tears flooded Ino's eyes as she ran out the door and screamed, "I hate you!"
End of flash back.
Kabuto went out to the streets at night to search for her; it had begun to snow and had gotten really cold outside. He searched for a few hours and decided to go back home hoping to find her in her room but there was no Ino. He felt very uneasy at her disappearance and decided to contact the police.
~*~
When they got back to Iruka's house, Naruto searched for a T-shirt and shorts for Ino to change into. Iruka had kindly allowed Ino to stay for the night because it was snowing. The T-shirt fit snugly in her well-defined body, however the shorts were a little too big. When Naruto saw her in his T-shirt he could not help but stare at her cleavage. He offered his bed for Ino to sleep in and was about to sleep on a futon outside. However, Ino was afraid that the man might come back in her dreams to haunt her.
"No, don't leave me," begged Ino as she grabbed Naruto's arm.
Naruto sighed, "I'll sleep here, on the floor tonight."
They were sleeping soundlessly in the cold night before Ino began thrashing her arms. She rolled around the bed until she landed on Naruto.
"Who, what wa!?" shouted Naruto as his hands pushed away two soft humps on top of him.
Naruto's face changed to a bright red tomato colour as he realised what he had just touched. Ino had fell on top of him from her sleep and he was glad that's she's still asleep. ~Phew~ as sweat beads dripped from his forehead. Ino wrapped one of her arm tightly under Naruto's underarm and one of her breast pressed against his chest. Naruto didn't know what to do and felt some what aroused as a bulge appeared in his pants^^
"Kabuto-kun, don't leave me, I love you," chorused Ino in her sleep.
'Is that her lover?' thought Naruto. Being the gentleman he always was he lifted Ino up and placed her in his bed. He tucked her gently under the covers of his bed and went back to sleep on his futon. His thoughts redirected on Sakura and he dreamt that she was the one lying next to him.
(Durian: That was only to lighten up! Ino and Naru will only be friends in this fic. Naru x Saku all the way! =P)
~*~
In the morning when Ino awoke and saw Naruto wide spread on the floor. She decided to tuck him back inside the cover as the snow from last night had made the air colder than usual. She was lifting the covers but stacked when Naruto's leg shot up at her. Naruto felt a heavy weight on him and woke up suddenly.
"Who, what wa?!" shouted Naruto as he pushed two soft humps away from him. He saw Ino lying on top of him and hoped she was still asleep. ^^
Suddenly her head lifted and two teary angry green eyes glared at him. 'Oh shit!' thought Naruto as his face turned a shade of red again.
"Naruto you pervert!" screamed Ino as she smashed a fist into Naruto's face.
"My nose, it's bleeding!" cried Naruto.
"Serves you right! You kicked me first," snorted Ino.
As Naruto grabbed some tissues to stop the bleeding, he grumbled, "Are you going to make peace with your brother-in-law?"
A minute of silence passed and finally Ino replied, "I don't know."
"Are you going to go back to school at least?" sniffed Naruto under the tissue.
"He works there," replied Ino.
"Listen to me, go back and make peace with him. You did not go home all night and he must be really worried about you. That is enough punishment for him, at least that is what I think," lectured Naruto.
"I can't. I don't know how to," said Ino softly.
"I'd go with you, lucky it's still early in the morning. We'll go after breakfast, ok?" asked Naruto as he stuck out his pinkie.
"Ok," agreed Ino as she shook Naruto's pinkie with her own.
~*~
Kabuto heard a knock on the door and quickly ran towards the door. He hoped that Ino would appear but sighed as a blonde hair, sea-blue eyed boy stood in front of him.
"Yakushi Kabuto residence, how may I help you?" asked Kabuto.
Unexpectedly, Ino popped out from behind the boy.
"Ino!" shouted Kabuto surprised.
"Kabuto, I'm sorry," cried Ino as she hugged Kabuto happily.
She sniffed her nose and wiped her tears. She declared, "Kabuto, I promise I won't misbehaviour again!"
Naruto introduced himself and Ino explained what had happened throughout the night. Kabuto was shocked to hear all of it but was glad that she came home.
"Thank you, Naruto-sama for taking care of Ino," said Kabuto.
"No problem!" replied Naruto.
After a minute of silence, Ino had something to say, "Yakushi-san, I have a favour to ask?"
"What is it?" asked Kabuto.
"I'd like to change schools!" said Ino as she blushed.
"To which school may I ask?" asked Kabuto.
"I want to go to the same school as Naruto," replied Ino.
"Ok, I'd make the arrangements," said Kabuto.
~*~
At roll call in Kinokuniya High School…
Yuuhi-san entered the classroom and announced a new student will be joining their roll call.
"Ino-sama, you may come in now," called Kurenai.
"Hai, Yuuhi-san," answered Ino as she entered.
All eyes looked towards Ino, at her pretty features. Some girls were jealous while others admired her beauty. Most of the guys were gasping and eyeing each other. Two guys smirked at each other, displaying a contest over who would win Ino. Naruto gave Ino a warm smile and welcomed her.
When roll call was dismissed, Sasuke and Sakura walked together to one direction while Naruto and Ino walked to the other. The hall became really chilly as a cold breeze swept past as the pairs past. Naruto had promised Ino that he'd show her around the school.
Please review and give me your suggestions =^-^=
Things to clear up: The weather seasons are so screwed but hey it's my story. I say it snows and it snows. I hope the list of characters has helped. By reviewing, you have the choice to request which characters you prefer and which ones you'd like to hear more of. This story twists and turns and I'm sorry if you don't like it. Love triangles are always very complicated. I'm sorry that I have tonnes of gramma mistakes, but I have no beater so ye, *scratches head* Anyhow, I hope your reviews continue, ja ne.
Q: Why did Itachi ask for money? Muahahaha, obviously there is a reason to it. I will answer that in the next chapter or so, keep guessing for the time being, bye bye.

Reviewer's Corner:
Ori- Naruto and Hinata are just not meant to be -_- you'll find out why later on.
Jurt- I fixed it up, thank you for telling me.
Kawaii Kenshin- Sasuke loves Sakura in my fic!
Fruit-teal- Thank you for reviewing and reading all my chapters ^________^ Yes, Sasuke was once really close to Sakura. Why is Sasuke pathetic? If you were he, what would you have done? I love the fruit durian but I don't like how it smells -_- I apologise for my lack of Japanese culture, perhaps you can help me.
Cyber1- Naru/Saku, sadly these two won't have much scenes together until I get rid of Sasuke ^^ I will only have Answers as a reference to this story.
Kokorodragon- I will continue but I may limit myself to one chapter per week. Typing this takes away a lot of brain cells and I have a tonne of h/w to do *breathes*
Chelsey-chan- Kakashi is Sasuke's uncle in my fic
Bishiehuggler- Sasuke's cool attitude is unique, however his personality in mine is slightly more open and softer. Naruto is a darling, I agree!
Kasiree- *pats Kasiree's head* and smiles. Gambatte with your fic, I'll go read it when I have more time ^____^
oOoshortayoOo- Thanks for your review, good luck in your fic!! Sasuke had a sad past, yep yep~ However, I think Kabuto had an even more sadder one -_-
Hey- I will introduce him as Hinata's brother one day. Between you and me, I don't really like Neji. I love Gaara and it is a must that I introduce him!!
Chris- Sasu/Saku for the time being, thank you for review.
Kyosuke- Sasu/Saku will end, but then again I don't know because I haven't finished writing.
Kyubi-Naruto- No fighting, sorry. I don't know how to place the spotlight on Naruto.
Black Phoenix Kat- Thank you for your review, I have read you "Call Me Insanity", it's good, Gambatte!
Bass clef- *scratches head* I live in Australia and I have never studied Jap, except watching sub titles in animes. Yo! I've watched a few, my favourites are: Chobits, Initial D, Naruto, Tokyo Underground, Fruit Baskets and so on… Lost count ^-^
OmegaDragon- Deal, lil buddy
Tsunade- Thanks for your review! ^-^ This is an AU…
Crimson Girl- Durian * crying* =T-T= Thank you for putting me on your favourites.
Hiraikotsu- Sasu/Saku might walk down the aisle one day but then again I don't know. You really like that pairing?
Kyubi-Naruto- Naruto will cope, however this might just be a Sasu/Saku. All I can tell you is that there'll be a Valentine's Day confession, a break up, and something BAD will happen to Sasuke… It's all in my head and I haven't typed it up though.
PPP/S: I'm sorry if I missed anyone. The replies above are for people who have reviewed from chapter 2 onwards. Looking forward to your reviews, tata.
Click Durian to view Answers: I personally think Chi and Kabuto's short three-chapter story is more interesting than this one. T-T
Attention: The pairing Saku x ____ will only be known in the end, Seasons of Fireworks will be updated every Thursday or Friday.
