Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto...! But I certainly own Sasuke...! Bwahahaha!!! Alright... I don't own him...!!! 0.o gasps o.0 Don't get so grabby!
Naruto deeply pondered upon yesterday's events as he trailed the path to the Haruno's Household. They; Kakashi, Sasuke, and himself, decided to pay Sakura a little visit, just to clarify the little incident that had happened the other day. That weird little incident about the bloodstain on her white skirt.
"What could've happened to her?" Naruto thought out loud as he pictured Sakura in his mind, bitten by a snake, trampled by someone or much worse sliced by some nasty pervert to get through her. Naruto growled in fury as his imagination took him to who-knows-where. Berserk.
Sasuke watched the murderous-looking fox boy beside him, wondering why the other boy didn't notice his presence. Dobe... He said grimly to himself while he mentally asked himself why he even got his self into this little visit. Sasuke remained alert and sensitive to his surroundings as he walked through the silent streets to the Haruno's home, hoping inside that he doesn't meet up with one of his fan girls or much less all of them.
The two boys walked on and on and on... until such time Naruto snapped out of his reverie.
"Dobe..." Sasuke muttered under his breath as he watched the orange- outfitted monkey in front of him, go around and about with his left hand in the level of his unruly eyebrows.
"Ah... ano... Sasuke... do you know where Sakura-chan lives?" Naruto asked as he faced the black-haired by just beside him.
Sasuke felt his eyebrow twitch at the mention of the question. "Nani...?" He said coldly. "Do you mean to tell me that you didn't know where she lived in the first place...?" He asked calmly as his pangs showed at the sides of his mouth.
Naruto gave Sasuke a grim look as he replied "We would've been there if I knew it, ne?"
Sasuke, shaded his eyes with his thick bangs as he backed off 2 meters from his original position, taking out several kunai in his hands.
Baka... You wasted my time... Sasuke thought as he faced the fox-boy, ready for offense.
Naruto took out a set kunai in his hands himself, prepared for Sasuke's charge, smiling in one side. I'll prove you what I can do now, Sasuke!
They stayed in the same position until a single Sakura blossom landed in the middle of the two avengers.
Both charged each other in maximum speed, each one determined to prove themselves. Throwing kunai pieces at each other at a rate of 5 pieces per millisecond.
They had gotten better... The watcher said as he observed them silently with his deadly lazy eyes.
Both stopped at the same second as they felt a familiar chakra surrounding the place.
"Naruto, we are being watched." Sasuke said in a whisper as he scanned the trees surrounding them for a trace of someone or something.
"I know that Sasuke! I'm no baka!" Naruto said as he took a kunai from his pocket. "There!" Naruto shrieked as he sent his kunai flying almost at the same time as Sasuke did to a nearby tree, which had thick willows around it.
"Get out!" Naruto commanded sternly as he walked coolly to the target's tree, his eyes never breaking contact from the shadow hiding in the willows.
"Oi... oi... Naruto... Don't waste your kunai on me." The shadow said as he sent the 2-kunai pieces flying back to their owners.
Sasuke smirked as the shadow revealed himself, telling them firmly... "You're late." Under his dark mask.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto beamed as he saw the older man approach them with the same lazy look in his eyes.
"So... When did fighting in the middle of nowhere get close to coming to Sakura's house?" Kakashi asked glumly as he eyed his two students, knowing the answer already to his question already.
"Let's go." Kakashi said, motioning to his students to follow him, which the two obediently followed without a word.
o.0
After an hour of trekking to Sakura's house, the boys finally arrived at their willed destination.
Kakashi walked up to the door and knocked in a polite tone, not too loud and not too soft.
"Hai?" A woman replied, which looked like Sakura's mother, as she opened the door.
"Konichiwa!" Kakashi chirped as he keenly eyed the inside of the house from where he was standing. "We would like to see Sakura..." Kakashi finished.
Mrs. Haruno smiled warmly as she invited Sakura's guests inside their humble home, asking them to sit around comfortably and wait for her daughter to come down from her room. The three waited patiently just as the older lady said and watched Sakura as she walked down the stairs, painfully, in a way.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelped worriedly as he saw the girl walk slowly with pain pained all over her face.
"Daijobu-kuh?" Naruto asked kindly as he stood to accompany the pink-haired girl.
"I'm fine." Sakura replied, feeling the blush climb up her cheeks as she remembered yesterday morning's events, stubbornly refusing Naruto's helping hands.
They sat themselves more comfortably on the bouncy sofa as they sipped the tea, which Mrs. Haruno prepared upon Sakura's arrival.
"So what happened to you yesterday, Sakura-chan?" Naruto started, breaking the silence that emanated through the whole room.
Sasuke watched Sakura as she blushed crimson red over the question while Kakashi waited expectantly for an answer and a valid one too.
"Ah... That... ano..." Sakura started but was cut off by her mother who decided to save her daughter over the question.
"Naruto-kun, she just had her first monthly visitor." Mrs. Haruno said warmly as he eyed the 3 boys giving her the impression that they didn't get it. Mrs. Haruno sweatdropped.
"Who did this to you, Sakura? Who had hurt you?" Sasuke asked heretically.
Mrs. Haruno blinked in confusion over Sasuke's question. "Eh... gentlemen.. I think you had me wrong." Sakura's mom said as she felt all eyes on her with Sakura's pleading ones.
"You see it's normal for a girl to have this visitor. The blood that you saw was not driven out by force, it just came out naturally." Mrs. Haruno completed, hoping that that satisfied their curiosity.
"We understand, Haruno-san. We just wanted to check on Sakura and her health. Forgive us for disturbing you. We will go now." Kakashi stated.
Mrs. Haruno bowed down respectfully at Kakashi and he did the same as Sakura led them to the door.
"So I guess... I'll just see you tomorrow Sakura-chan!" Naruto waved back at her as she closed the door.
The two watched their sensei, expectantly waiting for the explanation based from what Sakura's mom said, after all they were still concerned.
"Kakashi-sensei, so what's wrong with Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked, concern obvious in his eyes.
Kakashi sighed then opened his mouth to speak what has been ringing in his head, mumbling a soft "I have no idea." As he gained contact with his pupils.
"Nani?!" Naruto shouted, expecting more of that from his sensei.
Sasuke, however, didn't pay much attention to conversation as he read a poster just above a clinic they just passed by. It read...
BOYS WILL BE MEN!
After reading so, he heard a monstrous cry coming from inside the clinic, obviously coming from a boy.
Nani... he thought glumly as his other two companions stared at the clinic, mouths almost gaped.
