Mesa no own Naruto!

Seito: I know I said the next chapter was going to be Itachi's birthday but this came up instead. For anyone curious about how Seika and Itachi met, here's the story. This is Seika's feelings and confusion starting with five years ago.

Seika: I still can't believe you're doing this to me.

Seito: =smile= Time to answer reviews! .... Only 14... 118 reviews and only 14 news ones... that seems small... Oh well!

To TheTrueSilver

Seika says 'thank you'

To Elly Stormrage

=faint= the best? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no there's no way this can be the best high school fic. I can tell 2 that are much better then mines.

To yaoi-fanatic

I can't really say I update a lot because this is my only chapter story... but I do add new fics pretty often, it's just that lately I've been suffering from inspiration block. Yes I hate pop ads too. They annoy me like crazy. Thank you for the review though (I seem to be missing a few of my regular reviewers... maybe they decided not to review this past chapter.)
Huh? Wait this next part, are you sure we're talking about same thing? Sick? The thing with my ear? Did I mention that in my notes before? (can't remember what I wrote)
The way I wrote it was that it seemed like Itachi didn't get there on time. 6 people asked Seika to dance. The fifth one was the one Itachi saw heading towards Seika. The sixth one was Itachi. Get it? (Yes I like long reviews, it isn't the longest one I've gotten though [hehehe] you should look at how long The La/=/er's and PTBS are)

To DragonPearl1

I think you may have deleted it...I haven't gotten it back.

To The La/=/er

Really... I'm talking to you when I'm posting this!

To PTBS

O.O That's a long review. I recognize most of the songs you mention but at the currently moment my computer can't play music. Yeah I know about that website that's where I get all the anime lyrics to the songs you see. Hoe... Seiji what do you mean I can be that thick? (Seika: Yes she can be.)

To Kutsu

Thank you! I look forward to it. And I realize that you can't see my email in the other chapter so here is it again. BCCDGAME at aol . com

To the rest of the reviewers THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING!!!!!

Interlude: Confused Heart, Confused Mind: It Had To Be You

-----------------------

Damnit, why you?

Out of all the people in the world, why YOU?!?!?!

Someone explain to me why was it you?!

Argh!

When we met five years ago, you pretty much terrified me. Why? Because you reminded me a little too much of a certain family member of mine. You two were the same in every way. It annoyed me and terrified me to no end. I thought I had escaped from that when I left two years ago to go to America. It seems to be haunting me in the form of you. It freaked me out when I saw those cold, calculating eyes. The same kind of eyes my grandfather possessed.

That was five years ago

It didn't change much as five years passed. It didn't change when we walked by each other in the hallways. It didn't change when you look at other people. It did soften around your brother. It did get slightly softer over the years... It did make me wonder what caused you to be like that, but I never really bothered to find out. After all I didn't care who you were or what you did. I just wanted to be left alone. Of course you wouldn't let me...

Today... grr...

A few months ago we were 're-introduced' to each other. To this day I still don't understand how that happened. (If you had somehow planned that to happen, I have no idea how you managed to pull it off). Damnit! All I was doing was sitting in the school garden. Lunch has just started...oh and did I mention it was day before Valentine's Day? Knowing you and your stupid fan group, there was bound to be trouble. And what do you know? Some of the girls decided to deliver their chocolate early!

Before I knew it, you were running towards me, behind you was horde of girls, screaming and yelling. So what do you do? You grab me. I. Did. Not. Expect. That. I suppose you were being a gentlemen by not leaving me there to defend myself, but still... YOU GRABBED ME!! The next thing I know, I'm in an empty classroom. You pulled me into the folds of your cloak, your hand covering my mouth so I don't scream (like I would. I would yell and hit you first). Outside the horde of girls go running by. Did I mention that you're a little too close for comfort?!!!!!!!!

Before I could even yell at you to let go, you look down at me (okay so you're taller big deal) and apologize. That's right you APOLOGIZE. You =kindly= =apologize= to =me=! Okay it was official back then, the world was ending. I assume you want to know why.

You: Loner (but still the most popular guy on the campus) Cold Uncaring Doesn't give a damn about others Could careless what others do Genius (though that doesn't apply to the current situation) Martial Artist

See where I'm going? You don't apologize. You don't KINDLY apologize either. You don't apologize to anyone, much less ME!! I wondered if you were sick at the time or maybe you were going insane because of those fan girls.

I made the biggest mistake of my life the next the day

Whatever compelled me to give you a box of chocolate as a 'thank you', I need to kill it. Actually better yet, someone shoot me the next time I get an idea like that.

Yeah, whatever...

Anyways when no one was looking, -I do NOT need rumors going around about this-, I gave you the box of chocolate. You were surprised (who wouldn't be?). That's understandable (someone shoot me), after all I was a loner who didn't talk to anyone, much less tolerate their presence. I explained what it was for (a thank you for yesterday). You took it (that was surprising) and said thank you. (I felt dizzy for the next hour after that).

That had to be the biggest mistake in my life. It started a chain of events that I'm not sure if I regret or not.

The next month went by smoothly. Things seemed to be back in order, back to routine. Boy was I wrong. White Day came along. All the girls (and the few guys that were a part of it) in your fan group were disappointed that you didn't return anything to them. I paid no attention to it. Why should I? It wasn't like I would be getting something from you. I gave chocolate as a thank you for rescuing me, you didn't need to return the favor. The only other person I gave chocolate to was my roommate, Naruto and he had already given me my White Day gift. As you can tell I'm not into this gift-giving thing... well at least with classmates and stuff. I'll give my friends but then again I don't have very many friends (just Naruto).

The school day ended. Funny it seemed longer then usual. I must've be tired. I went home. Arriving there I noticed that Naruto wasn't home (I wondered how it went with Sasuke). I was playing on my guitar when he finally came home. After giving him a false version of his belated Valentine's gift. (Like I was really going to play for him the actual song before I was done). I left to head towards the park.

I sat down to play. For some reason I had my video recorder (my mother gave it to me for my tenth birthday. It's perfect working condition) with me. I guess I'll use it to record the song and some quiet, peaceful pictures of the park. In the middle of my playing I was interrupted by Naruto and Sasuke. A very interesting picture. They had, without knowing it, confessed their love right in front of me. That had been the highlight of my day. Naruto kept talking about Sasuke, it's about time they settled down. In my opinion they made a very cute couple. =smile=

I had, at the time, clearly forgotten about you. (Though it did provide me great amusement that you have no idea that your brother likes guys and is currently dating my roommate. Maybe I should inform you when the wedding take place if they don't tell before then). Of course when I left those two alone, you had to remind me of your presence. (It surprised me [because I knew you were watching] that you haven't pieced the puzzle together yet. Or do you know and choose not to tell?)

You're a very good martial artist. You managed to bump into me and disappear before I could even react. But you didn't have to do that. You really didn't have to give me a gift in return. (I still can't believe you gave me a necklace. How much did that cost you?!)

That was the beginning of the end. (Or is it the beginning of the beginning?)

From there things just got more chaotic. From rumors to you showing up on my doorstep to you tricking me into dancing, to just... everything! You don't get that you are foremost my classmate then my friend?!

What was your problem? Why did you want to be friends with ME? This is giving me a headache.

Damnit, why you?!

It just had to be you!

ARGH!!!!

=growl= I don't understand your reasons. Why on earth do you want to know I am?! You're a loner too, you know the definition of that word so why do you insist on bothering me?! We were strangers until that day. Why start now, after five years of passing each other in the hallway. After spending five years in the same classes together (with me sitting right in FRONT or NEXT to you), why now? Did I tell you your actions are giving me a headache?

You frustrate me!!

It seems everywhere I go, you're there. Whether it be because I'm with Naruto and you're with Sasuke and they want to meet, or I'm just by myself. You always seem to be there!! Not matter where I go, you are always able to find me! I can't even get a moment of peace any more!! You.... Damnit everything is a rush now days.

=sigh=

It just had to be you didn't it?

It had to be you who I opened up my heart to.

Why do you have this effect on me? I found myself WORRYING about you just the other day. Damnit. I've never done that before. I used to care less about what you did, who you were, or what your problems were.

Why did it have to be you who insisted on being my first friend? (I consider Naruto a friend but there are some things I just can't tell him because he wouldn't understand).

Why did it have to be you who understood how I felt? Why did I tell you about my past? Why?! Why did you understand the turmoil I felt in my heart?

Tears...?

You idiot...You're even making me cry and you're not even here...

=tiredly=

It had to be you...
