Note: This is the first chapter, rewritten in someone else's eyes, from the point Naruto comes bounding up the road... Guess who!
Chapter Two: Jealousy?
Date: March 21st
I saw the site ahead... I was so tired...
"Sasuke-kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!" Sakura yelled, hugging me, after I sat down. Instead of pushing her away, I was so tired that I let her. It wasn't unpleseant, just, I was too tired to push her away, I guess.
"Sakura-saaaaaan!" Naruto yelled as he came bounding down the path, filling my head with noise. The bringer of headaches, that's Naruto...
"Dobe," I whisper under my breath, so no-one hears me. If it was me he was bounding to, he'd probably have a kunai, ready to whip at me, to distract me from a coming Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone) move. I'd then beat him into the ground. But since he was bounding to Sakura, he'd have his arms out streched, etc. Meaning Sakura would pound him into the ground. That's why she got that weird smile on her face... that's why she looked ready to jump, that's why she landed on him, her arms wrapped around him, then sitting on him, with her face was squished against his... WHAT!
'Oh my god," I thought to myself. 'Did she call Naruto... HOT!?!" I backed up a step. I was amazed. I thought I had Sakura dying for me, and then... then the thought hit me -- 'Was she joking?'
As my face contorted into an angry, annoyed stare, Sakura looked up. I immeadiately set myself to my 'I'm bored' look. This was unsettling! Did she...?
I had been trying to find someone for years, someone who would match me up perfectly, who was skilled in the areas where I was faulted... Someone whocould help me find the destroyer of my clan, and kill him. Then I saw Sakura Haruno. Her forehead was slightly larger than most, but that was probably needed to accomidate all of the knowledge she kept in there. Her Chakra control was greater than mine, and she could get in where extremely good-looking girls couldn't without attracting attention. Yet she could attract attention if she wanted.
I knew I'd never get her if I was forward, so I ignored her, along with every other girl in existance. It worked, and she was falling for me perfectly... Except for Uzumaki Naruto,and his clumsy bravery. She was probably starting to like him already. But this was the first time she'd had a chance to maybe see that I was more than that not-intersted attitude I gave... Did she? No, she couldn't have...
"Ohayoooooooooooooooooo Sasuke-KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" A voice pierced my thoughts... Sakura, who had been sitting on a dazed Naruto moments earlier, had come to scream a greeting in my face, before getting bonked on the head with a book... A familiar book, held by a familiar hand, followed by a familiar voice, Hatake Kakashi, my sensei and team leader, who was greeting Sakura with an, "Ohayou Sakura," then proceeded with a very awkward question, "Why's Naruto lying down, dazed like he got run over?"
I pointed her out, and she murmered out a response. I must have used a word out of my regular vocabulary, because Naruto sat up an exclaimed about how I had used the word 'Smooch', and about his wonderful dream about Sakura. I also hadn't managed to keep the bitter jealousy out of my tone, it seems, because Sakura looked at me strangely. Kakashi made a sick comment about his book, and everyone was making exclamations of disgust, and Sakura smashed him down onto the ground hard, probably bruising him. He explained about the next mission, and how it was just cleaning out an old lady's attic. Stupid... Why waste us on these jobs? How could I get stronger stuck with useless village helping-out jobs? Instead of yelling, I just did what I usually do: I asked where. He just replied, in his boring voice, "Near the academy."
So I sped off, knowing he meant the ninja academy that we had graduated from not long ago. I decided on taking a different route than my teammates (who would take at least two hours longer than me getting there, Kakashi would lead them in a meery chase of Let's-get-lost...), over the rooftops, through the playground, past the training grounds and I was there, ready to slip in the attic window, unnoticed by anyone. Now, I could scout out the area before the rest. That way, I could do the mission faster when they did get here.
If I had been more observant, I would've noticed a boy sitting in a bush. A very loud-mouthed boy, who was well-known (but not extremely popular), who just happened to get out of academy early. Konohomaru!
I also would've noticed him peering his eyes at me, watching as I slipped into old Kuzaki's attic window. He shouldn't have been there, but he was. And he noticed.
I looked around the attc, without actually cleaning anything. It was a complete and disgraceful mess. Furniture piled on furniture, garbage all over, half a bed in the corner. It was horrible. I couldn't believe that someone was this messy! Then, I noticed a grubby little box on the floor. I picked it up and examined it thouroughly. What was a box like this (Velvet and stone, with metal hinges. Stopped being made 10-15 years ago) doing in this grubby attic? Then, I flipped the lid and looked inside. I smiled and slipped it into my pocket, then slid out into the street and the nearby Ichiraku Ramen, still thinking about the box in my pocket, and it's content.
March 28th was only a week away...

Note: March 28th is Sakura's B-day
Now... I don't know whether NaruSaku will continue... Review, please! Did I get Sasuke believable? Does it need work?
Thanks to radicalL, Cookie6 and Sharingan Sasuke for the kind reviews. If someone isn't mentioned, and is there, that's because this was still being posted before I saw them.
