"Someone I used to know"

Chapter 3 : Genjutsu-ed?
But then…
He was greeted by a crying Sakura and a sulking Naruto in one corner of the tent.
'Did she already know that we fought? Did that dobe told her what he saw? Did he tell her that I did something to her…if he did saw it? And if he did told her…what would she feel? Why is she crying? Is she mad?...
…does she…d-does…does she hate me?' questions flooded Sasuke…
" sniff sniff….Huhuhuhu…" she was bowing her head down and covering her face with both hands. And then she lifted them up. And stared at Sasuke. A stare full of hatred and sorrow. Disgust and anger. Remorse and hate. Pain and darkness…
Sasuke was shaking like he never did before. He was shivering…thought it wasn't any cold at all.
'She hates me.' He kept on thinking. 'That dobe…' His eyes were shot. He stood right where he was when he entered and didn't move. Sasuke was on the verge of crying when Kakashi spoke.
"Snap out of it Sasuke! And YOU! Naruto…! Cut it out! It's a foolish joke". Kakashi scolded.
"Huh?" was all Sasuke could say. And then he got the idea. His shocked face turned into a very furious face. If looks could kill…Naruto could be 6 feet below the ground right now. Many veins popped out from his head…
"N-A-R-U-T-O!" Sasuke shouted his loudest for the first time in his life.
"Hahahahahaha! Hahahahahaha! Hahahahaah!" Naruto was laughing his heart out. His hands were on his stomach and he was lying and rolling crazy on the ground.
Kakashi just closed his eyes and went over to a sleeping Sakura. (It's for real now! o!)
"What the hell did you do that FOR?" Sasuke exclaimed with every bit of his nerves boiling to the highest point.
"Sasuke no BAKA! Sasuke temme…and also a stupid moron! mwffmwff!" he was holding his breath to prevent himself from laughing again.
"If you wouldn't explain fast, I would save time cutting your throat out…" Sasuke said with a deadly voice…making Naruto's skin hair stand.
Naruto stopped laughing and sat up straight. He knows how Sasuke gets mad. "Gomen ne Sasuke. You have fallen for my genjutsu".
"I know it's a genjustu dobe! Why did you do that? And for what?" He spoon fed the blonde boy with his thoughts.
"Well, when you were out with Kakashi-sensei, me and Sakura were having a little talk." He explained.
Sasuke, remembering the reason he came there…got MAD. In (less than) a blink of an eye, he was right behind Naruto with a kunai aimed at Naruto's throat.
"Eh…" Naruto gulped. "Calm down Sasuke-temme! We didn't do anything...hehe…" at this, Sasuke deepened his aim. "…Let me explain first before you cut my throat!"
Sasuke let go of him, and was now at his front. But the kunai was still in his hand.
'Whew! That was close. This is a proof never to mess with an Uchiha…' Naruto thought. He then eyed the kunai tearfully and gulped once more.
"Start explaining now. Before my hands get all shaky…" Sasuke warned him…sill red with anger.
"Okay…Hai…Yes…! You see Sasuke-kun…It was like this…" Naruto started.

'Something fishy is going on that I don't know…' Naruto thought. 'Maybe I'll go ask Sakura-chan!'
"Ne…Sakura-chan…" Naruto said.
"Eh?"
"Uhmm…why is everybody so serious? And what's with the wounds and fights last night?"
"Ano…"
"What Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked impatiently an eagerly.
"I don't remember much Naruto. All I know is that there was a fight last night and I got seriously wounded. I don't know the details Naruto. Maybe you should ask Sasuke-san when they get back." She smiled at him.
'Hmmm…strange. Sakura never addresses Sasuke a –san…it was always –kun. I wonder why…' Naruto deeply thought the obvious.
"Ne…Naruto…! How was your training yesterday eh? Did you get all Kakashi-sensei's techniques?" she asked excitedly since they train differently.
"Well, actually I'm doing great Sakura-chan!" he blushed slightly. "Demo, can you teach me tips on performing a genjutsu to a certain person? I'm having a pretty hard time doing that." He confessed.
"Hm? Genjutsu? Sure!...First you have to…" then Sakura started explaining everything he needs to know.
"That! And you'll have a good genjutsu. It's still not accurate or perfect though. But it's already enough to control someone or a shinobi out." Sakura ended her talk.
"Hmm…so that's how it is. Ne…Sakura-chan…can I perform a genjutsu on you? I won't be harsh. I'll lift it off right away." Naruto pleaded.
"Gomen ne Naruto. As much as I want to help you, I can't. Demo, I'm already weak and exhausted. It would be bad for me to undergo a genjutsu nonetheless be under it. Why don't you try it with the first one who'll be entering the tent? Ne?" she asked happily.
"Sounds fun! I hope Sasuke-kun gets here first!"
'So I can make him pay back! Haha! Perfect timing'. Naruto thought.
"Just don't be too harsh on the, Naruto. I'll sleep first. Oyasuminasai!" she said, and then slept peacefully.
The one and only hero of the show was left all alone to himself, which gave him a time to think. The other two were taking time talking with each other that Naruto got bored. He was about to fall asleep when he sensed approaching charka coming their way. He concluded they were Sasuke's and Kakashi-sensei's charka. So he prepared…
Just as he predicted and wished for…the Uchiha came in first. Worried. It was like the best and perfect timing and setting for Naruto. Sasuke was so distracted by his emotions that he didn't sensed Naruto using genjutsu on him. His defense stability dropped dead low.
"Gotcha!" Naruto said.
END OF FLASHBLACK
"And that's what happened. Don't get mad at me! I was just trying my genjutsu! And Sakura was part of it too!...unfortunately…she is sleeping. So just kill me when she awakes and can help me in explaining. Sasuke…" Naruto ended his explanation.
"Hn." Sasuke slowly walked away from him.
"Whew!" Naruto exclaimed. 'I almost got my neck on that one!' he thought dangerously. Eyes white round, jaw-staggered. Sweatdrops on his head.
"Naruto! Thank Kami-sama for your life…Hehe…good thing Sasuke was worried about something else rather than you." Kakashi said silently to Naruto, avoiding Sasuke to hear him.
"Ne, Sasuke-kun!" Kakashi called out.
"Hn?" he looked back. Staying far away from them.
"Do you mind if I'll be the one explaining things to Naruto?" he asked.
"Whatever…" he faced back and just raised his arm. (like waving away…"sya-sya"o!) He then went on to Sakura's bed, got a chair and sat beside her bed.
"Hai…" Kakashi smiled. He then pulled…rather, dragged a Naruto with a large 3-question mark on his head.
"I'll have something important to tell you, you should pay careful and proper attention this time. And to avoid disturbing them…" he glanced at Sasuke. " I guess, we should stay outside once more…Is that alright with you Sasuke?"
"Hn." Was all he said.
"Hey! Why is he always the one left with Sakura?" Naruto asked.
"Don't worry about them Naruto, Sasuke'll take care of Sakura very good…?" Kakashi smiled.
Just then, a shurikens came flying to Kakashi's direction. Kakashi caught it and glanced at Sasuke angrily.
"Don't take things too seriously Sasuke. You might get yourself into trouble…" he sadi serioudly. 'This guys temper is dangerous'. He thought. 'Whew!'.
Kakashi and Naruto went out the tent and went somewhere… (I dunno where…just ask them…o!) While Sasuke just stared at Sakura.
'Here we go again…I'm killing myself…' he glanced away. His hand started to move towards her face. He was shaking. He was trying his very best not to touch her, but he was out of control. He slowly touched her cheek. 'She's white but fragile, sweet but dangerous, beautiful but deadly, weak but strong.' he suddenly thought. He continued to caress her face…
She suddenly moved and he withdrawed his hand and glanced away. She woke up. Sat up. Wiped morning put of her eyes. Yawned. And looked at him.
"Sasuke-san?"
"Hn."
"Where's Naruto?" she asked.
"Out there with Kakashi"
"Oh…did he performed a genjutsu on you?"
"Aa."
"Really?" she was suddenly interested.
"How was it? How was it? How was it? Tell me! Tell me!"
"Nothing much…just a simple one."
"Oh…but did he pass?"
"His performance was acceptable"
"Good, I taught him that. You shouldn't get mad at Naruto Sasuke-san. It was my idea after all." She smiled.
'Yeah I know that, he told me…God damn shit! I'm getting used to this heart talks!' he thought.
"Sakura. I have to tell you something." He started. 'Maybe I should start telling her what happened…'
"Yes? What is it?" she smiled again. But when she noticed Sasuke's face turning serious, her smile faded.
"About the time you turned into a Nitsuki Shotoku…"
"What? I did? When? Last night?" she spoke fast.
"Hai…it was last night. You almost killed Kakashi-sensei."
"Oh no! Gomenasai Sasuke! I didn't know what I was doing. I don't remember anything at all."
"I guess, you need to know what happened first…"
"What about Naruto?"
"That's what Kakashi is telling him now…"
"Ah…"
"It was like this, you see…"
(OMG! Here we go again with the re-telling…just do shuffle our memory guys! I don't have much typing powers! Hehe! o)
MEANWHILE…
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE…
"What? You don't understand still?" a voice asked.
"Yes. I really don't get it quite right with the past and what happened last night. And also with the ninja thing. And all those chakra too."
"You still haven't changed from your training with Jiraiya. Your head still doesn't work effectively. I have repeated it 5 times already you know!"
"Gomen ne sensei…demo I really can't understand…"
"Kakashi just sweat-dropped and decided to start explaining to Naruto all over again. This time, slowly and using the less-difficult-to-understand-words…
BACK TO TENT
"Kami-sama help me…"she slowly spoke.
"It's alright. No one got seriously hurt…"
Sasuke just finished explaining to Sakura what really happened last night and the things about Kakashi and Naruto. But of course, he left out the part when he…('ya know!.-) Sakura.
"What do you mean no one? YOU! Kakashi-sensei! I've hurt you! I was really fooled when you told me missing nins attacked us because of the serious wounds you've got. I'm so ashamed of myself. I told you I can control it but I didn't, I wasn't able to. I failed. I'm still weaker that both of you…" Sakura said…blaming herself.
"It's not important now. What's important is you get well soon and we all go back to Konoha as soon as possible. We should report these incidents to Tsunade-sama." Sasuke replied.
"Hai…I have to rest…"
"Sakura, when we get back there…"
"Hmmm?"
"Just act normal. Like you were before. No Shotoku. Just you."
" I know. Wakarimashita." 'He has told me himself. Of course I understand. He doesn't want to look weak and all. And he wants to make me keep it quiet.'
'She must be thinking weird things now. But all I want is for her to be safe. So that no one would gain interest in her power……in her.'
Naruto finally understood Kakashi and they both went back to the tent. The team talked about Sakura's condition and how things should be when they'll be back in Konoha.
Few days passed and Sakura became better. The boys continued their training for the remaining days.
The week passed…and they finally came back to Konoha…
End of chapter 3
A/N: What awaits them there? How will their old friends act? How are they gonna swallow their stares? Will they really stare? How will Sakura face them all? How can Sasuke kill his feelings for her? And finally…
