Hyuuga Neji…
Sabaku no Gaara…
Uchiha Sasuke…
Ah, the sad confusion that Gaara is going through…don't worry. I'm confused too! Wahaahha!
And also, imagine that Gaara's got inexistent eyebrows…pretend they are soooo faint, you have to squint really hard to see them. Or just think that his kohl covered eyes are his eyebrows…get it? Or maybe his eyebrows are lost in the kohl outlines…uh…Yeah…
And oh…the endless reviews of demands…somebody gimme a break here…You know who you are…and at least it doesn't take me a week to update…ok maybe I did that once…But that was because of my little rabbit…sniff sniff…You made me cry…sniff sniff…
And yeah, I had the LONGEST review in my whole entire life! It makes writing so worth it! Thank you! Thank you!
"Neh, are we there yet?" Naruto asked as he carelessly jumped from one branch to another.
"I swear, if you ask that one more time…I'll kill you." Sasuke spoke out through gritted teeth.
"I'm afraid not, that's my job…" Gaara looked at the raven haired ninja with threatening eyes.
"You don't scare me."
"And I suppose that Sakura scares you more than me?"
"Buzz off."
"Make me…"
Both of them ended up glaring at each other throughout the entire journey, surprisingly not tripping up during that time. They stopped every once in a while due to Naruto's whining about needing to eat ramen or he'll die. Sasuke would've let him die if not for Neji and Gaara.
"Sakura-nee-chan! Can you train with me today?" Chiyako asked as she swung her feet over the chair she sat on.
"Yeah, sure." Sakura smiled at her as she placed her cup into the sink. "Go get ready, I'll be out in a few minutes."
"Hai!"
'It's been nearly a week since I left Konoha, I wonder if they've noticed. Of course they would've noticed. But are they coming? Normally it would take four to five days to get here…" Sakura thought to herself as she idly washed her mug. 'I've only been here for two days already, maybe they'll turn up tomorrow.'
Suddenly she scoffed to herself. "Why would I want them to turn up tomorrow?" But even when she told herself that she didn't want them to all of a sudden appear at the door, she couldn't help but take a glimpse of the front door every once in a while.
"Perhaps you're expecting them to come take you back home?" Haru asked as he came in through the other kitchen door.
"Of course not, why would I want them to come take me home? That's just stupid. If I wanted to wait for them to take me home, then I should've just stayed home instead of coming here." Her scrubbing at the mug got faster the more she spoke.
"Maybe you're waiting for one of them to turn up."
"No…" Sakura looked down at the cup and smiled wryly at the cup, a bit of its patterns has gone missing. "Sorry, I ruined your cup."
"Nah, I've got another one just like that." Haru smiled at her.
"Sakura-nee-chan! It's been five minutes already!" Chiyako pouted her lips as she stuck her head through the door.
"It's been three minutes actually." Sakura cocked her head to the side as she finished off washing the cup. "I'm almost done."
"Who would take such a long time just to wash a cup…" she continued to pout as she went back out the door into the backyard.
"I really like your house Haru."
"Thanks." he flashed her one of those cocky smiles andwalked aroundthe room in search of something. "Hm? I thought I put it here…"
"If you're looking for ramen, I threw them out. It's so unhealthy…" Sakura smirked at him as she dried up the cup.
"YOU WHAT! Oh my precious ramen…"
Sakura's eye began to twitch at the dramatic scene faced before her. "They're so cheap, a little too cheap. What if they were poisoned!"
"I've eaten them all my life!"
"So has Naruto!" then she whispered out. "No wonder he's a little cookoo…"
"Sakura…how could you do this to me…" he started to sniff and cry dramatically.
"You're such a drama queen!" she scoffed at him and walked over to the cupboard to discard her cup. "Geez…you better be a little bit more respectful towards me after this…"
"My ramen…" he was now pounding on the floor making horrible fake sobs and sniffs.
"Come here…" she beckoned for him to come to her as she stood in front of one of the other cupboards.
"My precious ramen…Oh chicken…my ramen…"
Her eye began to twitch even more. "I said, come here…"
"My dear poor ramen, it must've been so horrible when you're face to face against the unbeatable wrath of Sakura…
"Come here, or else I'll throw out the rest of the ramen you're ever gonna buy again!"
He yelped and scrambled up towards her. Honestly, how pathetic is that…A hunter-nin taking orders from a girl who's only chounin.
"Since I didn't like the ramen you bought, I went to trade it for better brands of ramen which is chicken…" she spoke as she slowly opened up one of the cupboards behind her, his eyes began to twinkle and his hands clasped in front of him like a baby in front of a candy store. When she fully opened it, it was bare…
"Uh…Is this some kind of a joke…because it ain't funny." Haru pointed to its emptiness and Sakura turned to look into it.
"Opps! WRONG CUPBOARD!" she laughed and went over to the NEXT cupboard and opened fully, revealing heaven in Haru's eyes.
"Oh, so many ramen, precious, precious ramen! Oh my sweet little chicken…" he began caressing the ramen cup to his cheek while Sakura thought that 'Ok…ten on the weird scale of ten…'
"Sakura! I LOVE YOU! But I love ramen more than you!" he began to laugh almost maniacally.
"So you're saying, if I was captured and you had to trade me for the ramen, would you do it?"
"HELL NO! My ramen! Mine, mine, mine!" he laughed maniacally again which made Sakura step away from him, little by little.
'Man, I gotta get out of here, maybe staying in Konoha and having loads of stress is better than staying with someone who cared more about ramen than me…' she crept outside to where Chiyako was standing, with arms crossed and lips pouting.
"You're late, Sakura-nee-chan…"
"Ah, I have a reason!"
"Well?" Chiyako turned her head away from her, out of annoyance.
"Um, I was talking to Haru and he said he wouldn't trade his ramen to save my life."
"That was so lame!"
"But it's true!"
"Hey, is this it? I was expecting somewhere along the lines of…Lotsa mist…" Naruto spoke as he scratched his head.
"It's not always misty, dope…" Sasuke scoffed at him while he crossed his arms.
"Then why is it called the Hidden Village of Mist?" Naruto continued to ask.
"Because it just is, dope!"
"THAT'S NOT A GOOD ENOUGH ANSWER BAKA!"
"WELL SHUT UP ABOUT IT THEN!"
"I WANT MY ANSWER! I WANT MY ANSWER!"
"If you both don't shut up, I'll strangle you with my sand…" Gaara gave them the casual glare and walked off after Neji.
"Look who got off on the wrong side of the bed today…" Naruto snorted after seeing that stupid glare of his.
"He doesn't sleep dope…"
"Shut the hell up!"
"Make me!"
"DON'T MAKE ME COME BACK THERE AND GET YOU!" Gaara shouted out from a distance.
"Geez, talk about good hearing…" Naruto grunted and walked off to catch up to the others.
"Sakura-nee-chan, can we have ramen for dinner tonight?" Chiyako asked as she threw her shuriken at the pink haired shinobi.
"No, you can't have it every time you know…" she sighed as she moved her head to the right, easily dodging the shuriken thrown to her.
"But your ramen is so good! Pretty please with a…um…summoning scroll on top?" she begged while throwing a kunai to her.
She sighed before raising her hand to catch the kunai. "What flavor…"
"Yes! I want Miso, miso is so good!" she giggled as she jumped up and down from her spot.
'Great, just what I need, another Naruto/Haru in my life. What have you people done to her? She was such a sweet, innocent child before she got corrupted with the supposedly wonderful bliss of ramen…' Sakura thought to herself as she sighed once more. Not noticing a presence or two behind her.
"AH! I SEE RED, I SEE RED! RED, RED, RED!" Chiyako shouted out as she jumped up and down from her spot, this time in fear.
"What are you on about?"
"I SEE RED BEHIND SAKURA-NEE-CHAN! RED, RED, RED!"
"Red?" she spoke to herself as she slowly took a glimpse behind her, holding onto the kunai that Chiyako threw to her just minutes before. And indeed she did see red.
"Ah! Red, red, red!" she shouted out while throwing the kunai to the red thing as well as a few shurikens from her pouch and a few more kunais.
"AH! FREAKY WHITE EYES! FREAKY WHITE EYES!" Chiyako screamed out as she continued to jump up and down from her spot.
"Ah! Freaky white eyes! Freaky white eyes!" Sakura shouted out after her and threw more shurikens and kunais at the 'freaky white eyes'.
"AH! RED EYES! FREAKY RED EYES!" Chiyako continued to scream out of fear still jumping up and down on the same spot.
"Red eyes! Freaky red eyes!" she was out of shurikens and kunais already, and started to rely on her kicks and punches to help her get away from the 'freaky red eyes'.
"Ah! Hi Naruto!" Chiyako stopped jumping and waved happily at the blonde.
"Ah! Naruto!" she stopped punching the 'freaky red eyes' which turned out to be Sasuke. The 'freaky white eyes' was Neji and the 'red, red, red' was Gaara. Both of them were pretty much pinned to a tree behind them, cold sweat sliding down their faces.
"Ah, ehehe…um…sorry… I didn't know. I um…sorry?" she laughed nervously as she slowly backed away from them holding up her hands in defense.
'She's scary when she's angry, but she's even worse when she's scared…' Sasuke, Gaara and Neji thought to themselves as Naruto continued to wave happily at Chiyako.
"What are you guys doing here?" Sakura asked them as she picked up a few stray kunais and shurikens.
"We're here for you…" Sasuke replied while Naruto was talking to the kid very animatedly about what flavor ramen is the best.
"What for." She placed the kunais into her pouch and the shurikens into the compartment on her leg.
"Because you left without telling us." Neji bent over and picked up a kunai for her while Naruto and Chiyako's chat turned into a debate about 'Raku Raku Ramen' being better than 'Ichiraku Ramen'.
"You were giving me too much stress, it got out of hand." She looked at the kunai offered to her by Neji before taking it.
"We're sorry, we didn't mean for it to go that far." This time it was Gaara who spoke as Chiyako kicked Naruto on his shin and ran off into the house while Naruto grumpily rubbed his poor leg and limped after Chiyako.
"Well, too bad because it did." Sakura spoke out in a crabby manner.
"But, I need you." Sasuke and Neji begged as they held out his arms for her.
"You don't need me. It's not like you're gonna beg on your knees and scream out with the words 'I need you'." She was starting to get a little too emotional now. Turning her head away and closing her eyes as Gaara walked up to her.
Then all of a sudden, he did the unexpected, Gaara fell down to his knees in front of Sakura and held onto her waist, burying his head into her stomach.
"Sakura, I need you!"
Wow! That was so interesting, it even astounds me! My fingers were like crazy when I was typing! It's as if it's got a mind of it's own! Talk about freaky here! Seriously!
