"I...I just wanted you to know that..." Sasuke felt his face turn red. How was
he going to say this? He hadn't shown any emotion to Sakura, not once. "..."
Sasuke turned away. He couldn't say it, not when Naruto was sitting in a
tree nearby... "NARUTO!!!"
The familiar blonde haired boy, who had noticed he had been spotted jumped from his tree and ran for his life. Sasuke chased close behind. Sakura stood there, watching Sasuke try to kill Naruto. She finally got annoyed and walked home.
As she walked down the path, she wondered about that bet they had. Sasuke was being nice to her. How weird.
Did she still like Sasuke? HELL YA! She just learned to conceal feelings around him. It was kinda easy. You just treat him like a friend and don't follow him around as much. She also didn't worship him like the other girls that loved him. He had also quit asking him out on dates, which he always said no to.
She finally reached her house. Her parents were gone as usual. She tossed herself onto the couch and closed her eyes.
* * * * * * * * * *
Sasuke limped away from Naruto, who had been beaten unconscious. They had fought for over half an hour He started down the path, thinking about Sakura. Did she like him anymore? 'AUGHH! GET OUT IF MY HEAD!!!!!!' He was starting to like her more. 'Stupid Sakura.' He thought to himself. He started to turn left when he noticed Sakura in the front yard of her house. She hung upside down in her tree as she read a magazine. She had noticed him walking down the road, but merely waved to him and went back to her magazine.
Sasuke stood there in shock at Sakura. 'she waved at me... just waved at me. Something's really wrong with her.' Sasuke started back down the road to his house when something hit him. 'What if Sakura has a boyfriend?' he froze in his tracks. 'Crap. I should've got her while I had the chance.' He shoved his hands in his pockets once again and headed home. 'Sakura..."
"Sasuke!" Sasuke turned around. It was Sakura.
"..." Sasuke watched as Sakura rummaged around in her bag. She pulled out a box of cookies. She held them out to Sasuke.
"Thanks for the ice earlier today." The girl said. "I thought you might like these." Sasuke took the cookies and thanked her.
"Umm...Sakura?" Sasuke blushed slightly. "I...I was wondering..."
Sakura did her usual head tilt. "What is it, Sasuke?"
"I was wondering... if you had..." Sasuke blushed even more. Suddenly he felt a kick in the back of his leg that made him spit it out.
"I was wondering if you had a boyfriend."
"...!" Sakura started to blush too. "I... uh..." She looked over Sasuke 's shoulder. "NARUTO!" She stormed over to Naruto and punched him in the face. Naruto fell onto the ground and didn't move.
"Nice punch." Sasuke commented. Sakura turned back to him.
"Why'd you ask me such a stupid question?" Sakura asked. She was still blushing.
"...?"
"You know! If I have a boyfriend."
"Uhh..." Sasuke looked away. "I was just wondering...because you're not following me around anymore."
"...?"
"It was strange... that's all." Sasuke started to blush. "Anyway... thanks for the cookies." He turned away and started walking back to his house. 'Crap. Crap. Crap.'
* * * * * * * * * *
Sakura stood in the road as she watched Sasuke walk home. 'He's been acting really weird lately.' She turned around when a drop of water fell on her head. she looked up as a few more drops fell on her face. She walked home in the rain thinking about Sasuke. 'What's wrong with him?' She stepped into her house, flung herself onto the couch once again and closed her eyes.
"You don't want to be caught off guard like that." Said a familiar voice. She opened her eyes and saw Naruto. He had an ice pack on his head where Sakura punched him. "Wazzup?"
Sakura let out a shriek and kicked him in the stomach. He fell back in pain.
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!"
Sakura swung her foot again and got him in the side if the face. "I thought I taught you a lesson!" She grabbed Naruto 's arm and twisted it back.
"AIEE! I'm going! I'm going!" Naruto pulled his arm free and ran out the door. Sakura watched as he ran down the path. She then sat back down on the couch.
'Hmph. Sasuke wouldn't sneak into my house. What was Naruto thinking?' Sakura looked out of the opened door to the path that Sasuke took. She then remembered what Sasuke had asked her. 'What was Sasuke thinking?'
Sakura went to close the door when she noticed a familiar raven- haired boy walking down the path to her house. "...!" Sasuke walked up the steps. He went to knock on the door and noticed Sakura. He blushed slightly and looked away.
"Sasuke... why are you here?" she felt the wind as it blew into the house. The rain drenched both of them. They stood there for a long time.
"Umm... Sakura..." Sasuke had the slightest feeling of déjà vu as she tilted her head to the side.
"I just wanted you to know... that I..." He closed his eyes in fear of what Sakura thought. "I like you."
"...!" Sakura stepped back in shock. 'Did he just say what I think -hoped- he said?'
Sasuke swallowed hard. He opened an eye to see what happened. Sakura stood there, smiling. He let out the smallest sigh of relief.
"So... this is why you asked me if I had a boyfriend." Sakura laughed. Sasuke smiled at the thought of it. He felt like such a dope. Sakura invited him inside to get out if the rain. She gave Sasuke some towels to dry off and gave him some tea. Sasuke took them with many thanks. Even though the tea warmed him up, he still felt cold. What was wrong with him? He had just admitted his feelings to Sakura and now he wanted her even more. What was it about girls?
Sakura sat down beside Sasuke. It was as if she could read his mind. He wanted to move away, but his body moved the other way. (Well, of course he did it on purpose; he just can't face the fact that he likes her). Sakura leaned her head on his shoulder. For some reason, Sasuke didn't feel cold anymore.
It was strange. Out of all the girls that liked him, Sakura was different. She seemed nicer... more understanding... and didn't seem to like him for looks. She was way smarter than the other girls and helped him through all the hard times. When Haku nearly killed him, Sakura stood by him, even when she thought he was dead. Was Sakura that much in love with him?
