Chapter 3: Realizations

So that evening, the eight chuunins, now 16 years of age, walked to the newly opened Konoha theatre. Usually, Sasuke and Naruto gave death stares to each other now and then, but nobody would notice. Naruto would also occasionally trip and fall because he had to wear platform sandals to reach Sasuke's height, because people would obviously get suspicious. Neji was too interested in staring at the movie posters with Tenten, Sakura and Hinata was too shy to even look up, and poor Shikamaru was too busy being tortured by Ino and muttering "troublesome..." to himself.

"So.... what movie are we going to watch?" Sakura exclaimed, trying hard to sound cheerful.

"What about 'Kill Chi?'" Naruto suggested. "It's about this girl named Masuke who wants to kill her former boss, Chi. He betrayed her and tried to kill her and stuffs..." he said.

"Nah, Sasuke-Kun...how about 'Rude Girls'? It's about this Sand-nin who moves to the Konoha village and meets some girls at the ninja academy..." Sakura exclaimed.

"No way." Neji said. "Fishfred Circlepants. It's a movie based on the show!" he suggested. They all stared at him. "I-I mean what about Eternal Moon of the spotless mentality...a drama movie..."

"Hmm...good idea...but what about...Night of the Lifeless? It's a really cool horror flick!" Sasuke suggested. Everyone agreed.

"Okay then, Night of the Lifeless...but who's paying?" Shikamaru asked.

"YOU ARE!" they all said, pointing at each other.

"Okay...how about we play Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Ino suggested. Everyone agreed. First game, everyone used Rock, then scissors, then paper...later...they finally got a loser, whom was Sakura, and she had to end up spending up her allowance.

"Last one to the refreshments is a losserrr!!" Naruto yelled, receiving suspicious glances from the others, but ran anyways. Naruto ordered a huge bag of popcorn, a large sized portion of the finest Konoha tea, and a medium bag of candy. Sasuke ordered the same, but without the candy, Hinata, Tenten, and Ino ordered a medium bag of popcorn with a small drink, Neji ordered a large bucket of popcorn with a small drink, and Shikamaru ordered...nothing...he was too lazy to even get to the refreshments and immediately headed to the cinema. That left poor Sakura, who didn't have any money left...being the nice boy Naruto was, he let her share his food. "Sasuke-Kun...Arigatou!!" Sakura said happily popping popcorn into her mouth. Then it happened. With Naruto's (Sasuke's) face completely covered with his food, he accidentally tripped on Sakura and...the next thing he knew, he accidentally kissed Sakura. Naruto and Sakura turned red, and Sasuke turned red, angry and embarrassed.

"Y-You Bastard!" Sasuke yelled.

"N-Naruto?" Hinata stammered. Uh-oh, I better not make Hinata and Sakura pissed...he thought, and said nothing, and remained very angry and headed to the washroom, with Naruto sprinting with him.

"Why the hell did you do that for?" Sasuke yelled, blushing madly.

"I-it wasn't my fault!! I fell, and Sakura happened to be in front of me!" Naruto argued.

"Great, when I made that comment, Hinata looked pissed off...." Sasuke mumbled.

"Why would she be mad?" Naruto asked cluelessly.

"Because she likes you, and now she thinks you still like Sakura!" he explained angrily. It took a while to get this in Naruto's head.

"Oh..." Naruto murmured, shocked.

"Naruto...do you even have any feelings for her?"

Naruto said nothing for a while. "Fine, I do like her, okay?" he yelled.

".... So you really do... then what about Sakura?"

"...I realized how much she liked you...and I'm over her now..."

"Naruto..."

"... Let's get back, we'll miss the movie...."

"... Yeah"

"And Sasuke...I'll be sure she knows you like her!" oo

"...Same for you..."

And they headed back to the cinema.

Phew, finally done this chapter...a little longer than the others, I think...whoa...Naruto finally admitted it, and Sasuke.... well...it'll take a while for him to admit it...;)
