Hyuuga Neji…
Sabaku no Gaara…
Uchiha Sasuke…
Come on people, cut me some slack here…I've got loads of assessments coming up not to mention I still have heaps of homework to do…
But I always aim for a minimum of four pages every time neh…
At least, I update kinda quick? Ehehehe…
"Sakura, I'm sorry but please! Talk to me, look at me! Anything!"Sasuke pleaded her which surprised her at first but she paid no attention to it. As Sakura thought about what he asked, he remained beside her, arms held out declaring for her to embrace them. Him and his look of frustration and determination all at once.
Slowly, she turned her head towards him. When he thought that she might actually hear him out, at the last second she turned away from him and walked off.
'Damn it Sakura…' he felt crushed when she chose to ignore him like the others, he gritted his teeth in aggravation.
"Sakura, is it right for you to ignore them? I mean, it's been almost a week already." Haru asked as he sipped his cup of tea.
"They need to learn to respect me, and until they do, I'll keep on ignoring them." She never looked away from her cup as she spoke. As if the mug of tea could tell her what to do next.
"But knowing them, they might fight to death for you."
"I don't care, I'm not a trophy."
"Sakura…"
"Don't."
He sighed and furrowed his brows in concern for the pink haired shinobi as she continued to stare into her cup of now lukewarm tea.
"Sakura, I'm going off with Naruto for training. You wanna come along?" Haru looked back at her after taking a step out of the front door.
"I wanna come too! Me too!" Chiyako dashed clumsily up to Haru and held onto the hem of his shirt.
"Yeah sure." She smiled as she got off her chair and followed them to the training grounds.
'I hope they're not there today, I can't cope seeing them like this…' she thought to herself as she walked beside Chiyako.
"I want ramen!" Chiyako beamed up at Sakura as they passed Ichiraku Ramen.
"No, you've eaten too much, it's bad for you." Sakura looked down at the little girl who pouted her lips at her.
"But Haru-nii-chan and Naruto-nii-chan eats it all the time!" she complained to her. Haru began to worry about being scolded by Sakura. An angry Sakura is never a happy Sakura…therefore should not be messed with.
Sakura glared daggers at Haru as he laughed nervously and held up his hands in defense.
"Hey, it's cheap…and filling?"
"Filling? Yeah right! She can eat like twenty bowls in one day!"
"That's not much…" he whispered out.
"What did you say? Because if you wanna say something then say it to my face!" she argued back.
"Neh Sakura-nee-chan, I don't wanna eat ramen anymore, please don't get angry…" Chiyako spoke as she gently tugged onto her dress with her eyes downcast. Sakura couldn't help but feel guilty and decided to improvise.
"Keep it to five bowls a day ok?"
"Hai!"
"Sakura-chan! Stop beating me up already! Sakura-chan!" Naruto whined as she continued to use her taijutsu moves on the poor blonde.
"Come on! Hey quit it! Mou…" he managed to duck a kick that was coming to his face but she used her momentum to spin on that spot and bring her foot back down to him. He jumped away from her at the last second.
"Geez what are you trying to do, kill me!"
"I don't have to be the one to kill you, you can do it without my help Naruto!" she charged up to him with a kunai in hand and some shurikens in the other. When she was close enough, she threw her shurikens at him but missed. Sensing that he was somewhere along her left, she threw it at where she thought that he might be but could only make do with a slash of his jacket.
"Gah! This is my favourite jacket! Now I have to ask Hinata-chan to fix it up for me again."
"Again?"
"Yeah, she offered me before. It's really nice of her though." He scratched his head with one hand and smiled at her. She continued to eye him as she gasped for air, hands on her knees.
"Neh, why don't you take a little break Sakura? It was suppose to be me training with Naruto." Haru smiled as he walked over to the pink haired shinobi.
"Yeah, sure. Whatever." Sakura waved them off with a flutter of her hand and she moved to the shady tree where Chiyako was sitting with eager eyes watching at them.
"Neh, neh Sakura-nee-chan! You were so good!" Chiyako shouted out her praise to her.
"Thanks Chiyako-chan. You'll be like that some day too. Or maybe even better neh."
"Really? Cool."
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at Neji while the said person did the same. Neji activated his Byakugan while Sasuke's eyes flared Sharingan.
Teeth gritted in displeasure, fists clenched but holding back the urge to punch.
Finally, not wanting to look at the other, they turned around ad walked back the direction they came from.
"GAARA!" Naruto shouted out at the red head as he ran up to meet him.
"Gaara!" Naruto stopped just beside the said person who was currently staring at the flowing river underneath the bridge.
The blonde shinobi got frustrated and punched him, softly enough to not get him pissed off and to keep the sand at bay but hard enough to get himself noticed. "Dude! Stop ignoring me you bastard!"
"What do you want…Uzumaki…" he spoke passively, eyes not shifting to look at the loud mouth.
"If you're so sad about it-" Naruto began but got cut off by Gaara.
"I'm not sad."
"Ok, whatever then, go talk to her!"
"She won't talk to me."
"Well at least try!"
"I've already tried."
"Then try harder goddammit!"
Gaara sighed and chose not to say anymore. He felt that he might end up exploding and starting shouting back at him, but was determined to keep him composure. Naruto got annoyed at his demonic friend and not wanting to hurt him, he decided to leave.
"Whatever then, I'm leaving to find Hinata. Do whatever you want, but seriously. Just talk to her. She might not talk back but at least give it another go. She's always a good listener." Naruto smiled and waved at Gaara who refused to look at the blonde. "See you later then."
The Hyuuga prodigy felt the need to let go of some steam, what better to do that than perhaps look at the scenery. He began his way to the bridge, unaware that somebody already got there before him.
By the time he got there, the red head had already acknowledged his presence. Being friends before, he settle on leaning on the empty space opposite him.
"Hey…"
"Hey…"
Although it was a slightly awkward silence for them, they didn't mind much. They just stared at the smooth flow of the river beneath the bridge.
"Have you talked to her yet?" Neji asked.
"Yeah, I've tried and I bet you've tried too."
"Hinata-sama told me to try again."
"Uzumaki told me to do the same."
"Interesting pair they make."
"Hn…"
"Although we don't take orders from anyone…"
"We'll end up doing it anyway…"
"Hn…"
Neji smirked as he looked up into the sky, Gaara smirked while he continued to stare at the river.
'I'll try again…' they both thought in unison.
I'm so tired…why do I even bother?
Oh yeah…that's right…I haven't updated in a while…
Anyways…I can't believe this…I thought of a new idea…which is so bad because I'm getting distracted from this fic…which is so bad yeah?
