Chapter Four: Errands
Date: March 21st
"Oh-my-god! He's so hot!" Ino screamed. She had, when seeing what they were doing, come over to take a look. I sat in my place, looking at my ramen. Kakashi's face was none of my business. But I knew if I didn't, it would haunt me for a long time.
"Kakashi-sensei is so... HOT!" Ino said, bursting past me, almost knocking me over. I was sort of shocked. 'Is Kakashi better looking than me?' I finally decided to look.
"So troublesome," I muttered under my breath, and thought 'I'm turning into Shikamaru!' Disgusted, I then peered over to see the mysterious face... He was good looking, by girl's standards anyways! "What's that?" I asked, leaning, and pointing out a brown clump on the guys pretty-much-perfect face.
"I dunno, Sasuke-kun... it's a..." Sakura peered at the mark. "It's crumbs from a year-old brownie!" she cried as she peeled it off.
"Feh... he's not much..." I said. Truthfully I didn't think much of Kakashi's face. But I also wasn't a girl. It wasn't my area. Still, I didn't want Sakura to look at our teacher that way.
"Sasuke is right for once. Kakashi-sensei is boooooooring!!" Naruto exclaimed in his loud voice. I could tell that he wasn't too gald that Sakura was so interested either.
"Quickly, the camera! Take a picture!" hissed Ino, and Sakura started clicking the button like crazy. Snapshots flew all over the ramen restaurant, and a lot of people grabbed pictures.
I grabbed one quickly, stowed it in a pocket, and slipped out the door. I started walking casually down the sidewalk, pretty much unnoticed. Looking at signs, I stopped at the one that caught my eye...
Shinobi Flame Jewelry
We make, copy or buy any jewelry you need! Just come on in!
After I noticed that, I wandered in. A man in colourful clothing greeted me casually. "Hello, Sasuke-san! I wondered when you'd be dropping by! What would you like today?"
I had called on my cellphone just after entering Ichiraku, first to Naruto and Sakura to check-up on the plan, then to these guys. These guys were the best jewelers in Konohagakure village.
"Hey, Mizuka-san. I need a copy of this one, 'cept with rubies," I said, passing him the box from the attic. Mizuka looked inside and saw the ring.
"This'll be a tough job... really detailed, rare gems... equisite carving and perfect shape..." he said, then named his price. I slid the money over the counter, and nodded.
"We'll have it ready tonight, Sasuke. Alright?" Mizuka asked. I nodded, and we had a delightful and enlightening conversation about candles and bats. Afterwards, I headed out to the grocery store to pick up some food. Our next mission wouldn't be 'till night, probably.
The grocery trip was boring as ever, and I rarely enjoyed it. I never met anyone, or did anything, at the grocery store.
After picking up my groceries, I headed to Naruto's place. I left him his 'free ramen prize' I had mailed to him. I had sent a letter to him, telling about a 'special shinobi contest', and was now giving him his prize, with a letterthat told him he 'won'.
I decided to do things like that lately. It's been great, and I'm more sociable now than I've ever been, excluding when I was a little kid. I've been so cold since...that night. I don't even like to think about it, if I can. I still train, and I am still determined to reach that goal... but I cannot expect to reach that goal within the next year or two. I need to be moore powerful than anyone, yet even Naruto seems to flash out stronger than me sometimes.
Naruto is a great mystery. Nobody seems to rmemeber who his father was. At least, they don't mention it to us 'kids'. I'm more adult than most of them...
By the time I got home, I had to rush to keep the food from spoiling. Unlike Naruto, who forgot to put the milk back in the refrigerator. I sat down on the couch, put my feet up, and watched some tv, something I had started doing a week ago. After an hour, I thought about the ring.
'Tonight... I'll pick it up at 8, probably,' I thought.
I headed to the jeweler's and picked up the ring. Me'mn Mizuka had a good conversation about kunai and ramen, two topics I knew a lot about. I slid both rings into seperate pockets, slipped down to my secret safe, and locked the copy in. I now sighed in relief.
I casually strolled past Ichiraku, flinging the little stone box into it's owner's attic window. Everything was cleaned up, Kakashi was gone, and Iruka was there with Naruto, probably treating him to ramen again. Sakura was... dancing!
Ichiraku had recently closed for renovations, and had gotten a major upgrade. It now had tables, and a stage! A band was there, screaming music at all the diners (in my opinion, it WAS screaming). Many couples had some here to dance, so Ichiraku was really popular.
Anyways, Sakura was dancing. With Lee. Rock Lee, the martial artist guy. I, knowing they had no chance, let them be.
I ordered a miso ramen, and ate it slowly. The music didn't hurt my ears this time. And the dancing was nice to watch. The ramen was also above the old quality (I hadn't touched it this morning). I was enjoying myself. It was so nice and sleepy, I gave into my desire torest my head, looking towards the door. Which meant I witnessed Sakura and Lee leaving. And the peck on the cheek she gave him as she bounded away. I saw lee sp9in around in joy, then bound away in the opposite direction.
This WASN'T a fun day anymore!

Thanks you to all reviewers! And HA toVixen Uchiha, who though Sasuke wouldn't give it back. And a special thankyou to Bass Clef, from whom I finally learned what AU means. Check out my other fics, I'll try to update all of them as much as I can!
Thank you,
Alden
P.S. Next time, I'm going to do one of these people:
Konohomaru
Ino
Lee
Tenten (Hard! I don't know anything about her!)
Who should I pick?
