Ch: 3
"Sakura- chan!" Ino yelled, waving her hands at her best friend. Sakura just came out of the patch of Sakura trees.
"Hey Ino-chan, what's going on?" she asked Shikamaru was with her.
"We brought you lunch cause you missed out on such an awesome day I thought you should at least try this awesome food we got from the café we ate at. Isn't that right Shika?" Ino gave him a death glare.
"Chh, I thought it would be a hassle walking all the way here, this old cat dragged me here instead." Shikamaru retorted bitterly folding his arms.
"Did you just call me an old cat? I'm not that old looking you old booger!"
"Whoa! You did not just call me a booger, I look ten times better than a booger you old fart!"
"Then I guess you have to check the mirror, oh wait I forgot you can't cause every time you do the mirror breaks!" Ino screamed, getting quite steamed. At this point Shikamaru wrapped his arms around her and apologized, Ino kissed him on the nose and then that's when all the mushy stuff (in which I'm not going to type out) comes out.
"Eww you guys go get a room or something!" Sakura spilled out, "Please I have to eat you know!" Ino and Shikamaru looked at her then Ino laughed and handed her the food.
"Well hope you enjoy this long summer," Ino smiled giving her best friend a hug.
"You too," Sakura answered returning the hug. Then the two left, it was quite cute hand in hand with Ino leaning against him.
I might not find anyone to love me…but out there, there will be…
She took the food and walked home, she didn't know why but she felt really great today like somebody just made her day. She didn't know what but in the future she'd understand the feelings that are slowly beginning to emerge.
Sasuke looked at the sky it was such a perfect blue without clouds and just the yellow shining sun. Then someone interrupted his train of thoughts.
"Hey Uchiha- san!" someone yelled, he looked up at a nearby tree and saw the platinum blonde girl with her big fan. He only acknowledged her with a glance.
"Hey c'mon I was talking to you!" She yelled jumping down next to him.
"En." He replied.
"Is that all you have to say after I came all this way to see Konoha?" Temari asked.
"How's Garaa?" he asked using that monotone of his.
Temari huffed, "Always asking about my brother, he's still recovering from the things the Akatsuki did to him, but aside form that he's doing well. It's thanks to you guys though…" Sasuke looked at her questioningly, " Garaa never really wants anybody near him he always thought he was alone. He thought the only purpose he lived was to love himself and annihilate anyone standing in his way. But after he came here, he… he finally began to understand that to live on and not be lonely anymore, he had to make connections with others. Now he's allowing people to know him a little better and people are beginning to understand that Garra's not a bad guy but just wants somebody to love him aside from the fact that he has a demon sealed inside of him.
Sounds a lot like two people I know.
You again?
Yes it is I…again.
Why don't you go bother someone else for a change?
How can I? I live in you, you moron.
You know you should just shut the hell up.
Gosh someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
"Hello? Earth to Uchiha- san!" Temari snapped her fingers.
"Huh? Oh… that's good… tell him next time I see him I'll beat him for sure." Sasuke said casually and walked away.
"Weird guy…" Temari murmured scratching her head.
Sakura threw herself on her bed, she was exhausted somehow but the day went great even though she missed out the lunch with Ino and the others she spent time with Sasuke alone and she was able to share her special place with him. Next time she meets him she's going to share a bit more of her place with him.
Next time I'm going to show him the beauty and magic of that place!
She smiled to herself, quite enjoying that fuzzy feeling she's getting inside. This isn't as lonely as I thought it would be, but I haven't seen Naruto- san much…maybe I'll see him around the village or at least at one of the ramen stations. It was typical Naruto to eat ramen almost everyday of his weird life. Now he's got Hinata- chan who can make him lunch and they'll be happy together…
That's good he deserves such a wonderful person in his life…someone that won't shun him just because he's different…
Sakura sighed and fell asleep.
