Chapter 8: Sasuke's feelings.
(Note: This chapter will just be about memories of Sakura and Sasuke in the past, and how they first met.)
"Ino-chan, what are you doing with fore-head girl?"
"Why'd you give her your favourite ribbon? To make everyone see how big her fore-head is?"
The little pink-haired girl followed her new friend everywhere, though others wondered why, Ino always made Sakura liked by others, and she soon had many friends, but bullies like Amy and little 'group' never made her fit in, and constantly teased her about her fore-head, which was just the same size as theirs! Sometimes, even Ino couldn't control them, and made Sakura cry. She was always a vulnerable little kid.
One day, Ino decided to introduce Sakura to some guy-friends of hers.
"Come on, let's go to the ramen shop, I'll introduce you to some nice guys to you!" Ino exclaimed, smirking.
"Umm...it's alright, Ino-chan..." Sakura replied shyly, playing with her fingers.
"Aw, don't be shy, let's go!" Ino grabbed onto Sakura's wrist and ran to the shop. Inside were a few boys, and one in the middle chatting with them all about his cool brother. This caught Sakura's eyes almost instantly. He had dark, spiky, raven hair, and a really cute smile. She glanced over at Ino, and saw that Ino was looking at him too.
"Hey guys!" Ino exclaimed.
"Hey Ino-chan, you're just in time. Sasuke was just talking about how he gets to train with his brother everyday, and how strong he is!" said one boy
"Yeah, he's the coolest!" exclaimed another.
"Great!" Ino said cheerfully.
"Hey, who's that girl behind you?" Ino looked behind her, and saw Sakura looking very embarrassed.
"Everyone, meet Sakura-chan! She's pretty cool."
"Hey Sakura-chan!"
"Hi!"
"What's up?"
Ino lightly pushed Sakura in front of her.
"H-hi..." she squeaked.
"Aw, isn't she cute?" Sakura blushed.
"Why don't we join them?" Ino suggested. Sakura noticed Sasuke looking at them and smiling brightly.
"S-sure! Umm...Ino-chan, who's that boy over there, in the middle?"
"Oh, he's Sasuke-kun..." Ino blushed a bit. Sakura looked over.
(Ino must have a crush on him...) she thought sadly.
That was the first time Sakura saw him, but...a few days later...
Sakura peacefully gazed at a falling cherry-blossom. Floating gently to the ground. It was a nice day today, unfortunately, she couldn't find Ino anywhere. She was supposed to meet her here to train with her. Probably doing her hair and everything. All of a sudden, Sakura heard something coming towards her.
"H-hey, watch out!" Sakura quickly turned around, seeing a little throwing star hurling towards her. Before she could scream, she threw herself away from it. The star nearly hit her, but luckily, the person who threw it wasn't aiming very well.
"Oh sorry, I didn't see you there!" the boy said, blushing.
"I-it's okay, people never can tell..." Sakura stuttered, turning around. She stared at him in awe. It was Sasuke-kun! She could recognize him anywhere.
"Hey, you look familiar...Sakura-chan, right?" Sasuke said brightly.
"Yeah!"
"You have nice hair, I've never seen any like it!"
"A-arigatou" Sakura blushed.
"That was a cool dodge, are you in the ninja academy?"
"Ninja academy? Oh yeah, Ino-chan mentioned about it! I'm going to join someday!" some reason, Sakura felt shy, yet comfortable at the same time.
"You should definitely join...want to train with me a bit?" he asked, smiling that smile Sakura liked.
"W-well...I'm supposed to train with Ino-chan, but she's late...so, sure!" she exclaimed.
The two had many fun, Sakura thought as him as a really fun and friendly boy. They became good friends that day. Sasuke thought she was pretty cute, and pretty fun and talkative, but a week later...Sakura joined the ninja academy, and went to Sasuke's house to tell the news.
"Sasuke-kun, guess what? I joined the ninja academy!!!" Sakura exclaimed. There was no response. Sakura went in the house and searched around her surroundings. "Sasuke-kun?"
"GO AWAY!" a voice yelled. It sounded awfully like Sasuke. It was coming from upstairs. Sakura went up, and gasped. There was a trail of blood. She followed it and saw Sasuke kneeling on the floor, sobbing.
"Sasuke-kun!" she yelled. He looked up menacingly.
"Leave me alone, go!" he yelled. Sakura was full of fear that day. Sadly, she obeyed and sulked away.
From that day on, he was never the same.
"...Annoying..."
"You're annoying."
"Sakura, you're heavy."
"You're weaker than Naruto."
"You really are...annoying."
Sasuke was always bitter to everyone, hardly smiling, only smirks. Sakura never gave up on him, but now...what would happen? Sasuke started realizing how much Sakura meant to him, but it was too late. Or was it?
Hmm...more drama and sadness in this chapter...well...I just thought it would be interesting to write the day they first met and stuff.... thanks for the reviews everyone!
