Akanishi-san: Woot! Here is your chapter6!

Ch6

Both Minami and Sasuke fidgeted as they sat on a bench, burning red. They were in middle of the date they had arranged, but, with the new couple walking around, people decided to look at them intently and discuss it.

"Sasuke-kun has a girlfriend?" One of them whispered.

"Yeah, I heard he accepted her confession!"

"Who does she think she is?"

"Are you sure they are going out?"

"No way!"

((Taka had generously volunteered to stay home X3))

"Sasuke-san?" Minami asked after a while, still tomato red, turning to Sasuke, who had the same shade on him. "Erm…is it really weird that you have a girlfriend?" She blushed on her own words, stuttering on it as well.

"Erm..in a way…" He muttered back, equally embarrassed at their attention. "You see…I never had a girlfriend before…"

"And…you were this popular since then, so…that's why they are amazed?" Minami asked, to which Sasuke nodded, trying to hide his embarrassment. Acknowledging this meant that he had really fallen to Minami, and Minami understood and she had to try to hide her embarrassment as well.

They sat there for a while, people passing by, looking at them and talking about them. They were so embarrassed, and to top it off, they were on their first ever date, Sasuke since he never cared for girls, Minami since she never hung out with any other guys during her training, and she had no time. They were so shy, and they were really not comfortable. They did not know what to do. Sometimes one of them tried to spark up a conversation, but it ended after a while, again, going into silence with people talking about them getting even louder in their ears.

'What do I do?' Minami thought to herself. 'I never had this kind of situation! Why is it so hard to talk to Sasuke-san now?'

Meanwhile, Sasuke's thoughts: 'God…why did I ever think that this could be easy? What do I do? What do I say? What to regular people do?'

These moments passed with both not saying anything, which gave them even more uncomfortable silence. The silence was soon stopped, however, by an anbu one knee kneeling in front of them.

"Sasuke-san, please excuse me." He muttered, bowing to him. "You are called into an emergency mission assigned by Tsunade-sama."

Sasuke gaped at him for a moment. Quickly snapping back, he turned to Minami, who was also looking surprised. "Erm…Minami…"

She turned to him, a hint of disappointment on her face. "It's all right; it's a mission after all. Missions come first." She smiled. "Maybe another time." She stood up. "Am I called in as well, or is it just Sasuke-san?"

The anbu turned to her. "Only Sasuke-san, however, you are needed at the front gate. Tsunade-sama has a guest coming today, and she wants you to meet him in and to accompany him."

Minami nodded. "All right." She turned back to Sasuke. "Well, we can do this another time?" She asked, hope in her voice. But truthfully, she really wanted to get out of there. She was uncomfortable with the silence; she has to think of things to say to him next time he asks her for a date.

Sasuke nodded. "I will see you later, Minami." He muttered, and in a puff of smoke, he was gone. Stupid missions. He grumbled.

"Who's the visitor?" Minami asked, turning to the anbu who was still there. "Is he important?"

He nodded, getting up. "I'm truly sorry to interrupt your date, Minami-san." He said, looking at the ground.

She blushed. "Ah, no, it's all right." She said, grinning. "There are other times to do these things. Is he here all ready?" She asked, trying to change the conversation topic.

He shook his head in reply. "No, he is on his way. He is believed to come here in 15 minutes." He informed her. Seeing her nod, he nodded back, and disappeared just like Sasuke.

Gate

"GAARA!" Minami yelled, flinging her arms around him again, hugging him. "It's you who's the guest?" She asked, jumping happily.

"Yeah…" He muttered. "Now…please get off."

Quickly she got off of him, with a huge grin. "I can't believe it's you! No wonder why Tsunade-sama asked me!" She paused, narrowing her eyes at him. "Are you here because my 18th birthday is nearing?"

Gaara nodded. "Tsunade-sama has asked me to aid you and Naruto."

"You left your village for me? I feel very special!" She said, giggling. "I'll lead you to Tsunade-sama's office, come on!" She turned, and dragged him off.

Office

"Tsunade-sama." Minami said, knocking onto her door. "The Kazekage has arrived."

"GAARA!" The familiar voice yelled on the other side of the door. Taking that as a cue, Minami took a step sideways, and sure enough, the door flung open, and Naruto was now hanging on him, jumping with joy. It was the same Minami did, except it was Naruto who did it now. "HOW HAVE YOU BEEN!"

"Naruto…" Gaara muttered, trying to stay balanced with the new weight on him. "Get…off…"

Naruto quickly let go just as Minami did, but he was still hopping up and down. A hand went onto his head, and immediately his hopping stopped with Tsunade's hand holding him down. "Give the Kazekage some room, idiot." She told him, nodding a greeting to Gaara, who did the same.

"HEY!" Naruto yelled, looking slightly angered. "I'm not an idiot!"

"Yes you are." Gaara muttered back, which earned a glare from Naruto. "Hokage-sama, you needed to see me?" He bowed.

Tsunade nodded. "Yes, come in." She pushed Naruto out of the way, and moved over for him to go through. "Minami, please stand outside for a moment, and when I finish talking to him, keep him company till he leaves, which is tomorrow."

Minami nodded in reply. "Understood." She then, stepped a little to the left, giving her a position next to the door.

Giving a smile to Minami, Naruto entered back into the room, shutting the door behind him. In the new silence, Minami thought back on Sasuke. Where was he now? What mission was assigned to him? Is it a life threatening mission? Is he all right? What did he really think of her? She sighed, and leaned onto the wall.

Sasuke

"Sasuke-san, that was the last of them." One of the anbu Sasuke was assigned with said to him. Sasuke stood there, panting, looking at his other fellow comrades to make sure they were not dead.

"How many wounded?" He asked. He knew none of his comrades had died in this mission. This mission as easy one, it was to track and find couple of ninjas who had betrayed Konoha a little earlier.

"Only 2. Not deadly though." He reassured the Uchiha. "One has gotten a wound on his left arm, and the other has a wound on his right leg. The others have few scratches and so, nothing dangerous." He fell silent, waiting for orders.

Sasuke listened to the man, and felt himself sigh in relief when he heard that there was no life threatened. "Good." He said, "I will take you," he nodded an anbu next to him, who looked the healthiest, "to come with me to bring the traitor back to Konoha. You 2," he nodded to the unwounded people. "Stay with those two who are wounded and wait for the medic-nins to reach here."

The 2 nodded, and another went to pick up a motionless body part. "Ready to go sir." He said. Sasuke nodded, and turning to the others, he nodded to them once, and left with the other towards Konoha. He couldn't wait till he got home. Maybe Minami was still free?

But…things did not go as he wanted.

When he reached Konoha, he found out that Gaara was in town, and he was with Minami at this moment. He let out a groan, but went to find her anyway. As he hopped roof to roof in his regular outfit, he found that the town was buzzing with rumors. And he really didn't like them.

Most of the rumors consisted of how Sasuke and the Kazekage were fighting over Minami's love. Some even consisted of how Minami was cheating on the Uchiha, and had run off to the Kazekage soon as he left. This angered the Uchiha, and he sped on faster, to where he felt her presence.

The presence of the Kazekage next to Minami was not really a problem, he knew…but…how happy she and Gaara talked, how happy they seemed…that angered him. When he was with her, they didn't even talk much, and here she was, talking like they were meant for each other. They were laughing, and occasionally one would look offended in joking way when the other teased. His face turned into a frown with the scene in front of him. He felt jealousy towards the Kazekage.

Looking up, Minami felt someone looking over their way intently. She looked around, until she spotted Sasuke standing on the street, frowning at them. "Sasuke-san?' She asked, getting up.

Gaara looked up as well, and felt himself smirk inwardly. He knew exactly why the Uchiha was frowning. "Uchiha." He greeted.

Sasuke shot a glare at Gaara, and looked back to Minami who was walking over to him. "Your mission is finished already?" She asked, grinning. The grin soon faded as soon Sasuke's cold eyes met hers, and it made her freeze. "Sasuke-san…?" She asked, hesitantly.

"It seems you were having fun." He said his voice cold. "Sorry to disturb you." With that, he turned and left Minami looking very surprised, Gaara looking amused.

"What was all that about?" Minami gasped, turning to Gaara who looked now, very amused. "Gaara! Tell me!" She pleaded. Truthfully, she didn't know what was going on. She had no clue, that he was jealous. "Gaara!"

"All right, all right!" He chuckled, holding out a hand in front of him, trying not to laugh. "Uchiha was just…jealous." He saw Minami gape at him, and that made him chuckle even more.

"Gaara!"

"I'm talking, I'm talking!" he said. "Uchiha was jealous that I was with you instead of with him. And, what I heard from you, you and him couldn't talk about anything earlier, right?" He saw her nod. "Well, seeing us talking regularly probably made him angry. I don't think he likes me anymore." He mused.

"No way!" Minami gasped. "Sasuke-san is jealous?"

Gaara nodded. "I'll be fine, go find the Jealous Uchiha." He chuckled, and got up. "Off you go." He chucked some of his sand playfully at her, and pushed her in the direction of the way Sasuke had gone.

She frowned angrily at him jokingly, and started to run over. But she stopped, turning around; she came back and hugged him. "Thanks." She said, and ran off to find Sasuke.

She found him quite easily, and she hopped into the training grounds in the forest where he trained, almost killing a nearby tree. "Sasuke-san?" She asked, walking over to him. Sasuke continued to train, as if he had even not heard her. "Sasuke-san." She said this time with more authority, not a question. "Please talk to me, I am here, and do not pretend I am not here since I am."

Sasuke whirled his head toward her, anger clearly written on his face. "What do you want?' He growled at her.

"Why are you so angry!" She almost yelled back at him. Scratch that, she did yell it back. She didn't have patience, and she showed it. She glared at him, breathing heavily. Sasuke growled in response. "Yeah, a growl can tell me many things, Sasuke-san!"

Sasuke lowered his glare, and looking a little off, he said, "Why were you so happy with him, when you didn't even talk or look at me straight in the eye on our date."

Minami found herself frowning, and blushing as well. "See…erm…I was very…" She was going to say nervous, but that was just like saying "I am not comfortable with you." So she decided to stay silent.

"See!" Sasuke said, frustrated. "Are those rumors true? Are you going out with him?" He brought his glare up to Minami, who gaped back at him. "I saw you, you looked very comfortable around him, and not to me at all!" He was angry yes, at Gaara however not her. He was angry how Gaara knew about her more than he, and how she looked more comfortable when she was with him than him. But he could not stop himself from being angry at her.

Minami opened her mouth, and closed it, no sound coming out. Was this really jealousy like Gaara told her? Yes. Of course it is. He was jealous. "Look Sasuke-san, I don't know what you are getting at but I was assigned to be with him by Tsunade-sama. The only reason I was comfortable with him is because I knew him for a while, and…" She started, but was soon cut off by Sasuke's offending comment.

"I see, you would just go out with any guy, is it? You are one of those stupid women, who go to men when they are in trouble, aren't you not!" He glared at her with his cold black eyes, which turned into worry soon as he saw hers after he said that. Her eyes had turned to sorrow, hurt. Her green eyes showed hurt.

"Is…is that what you really think of me?" She stuttered, feeling a pain in her heart. She really didn't care if anyone else said it, but…hearing it from Sasuke…it hurt her greatly. "Fine." She muttered, and whipping a tear off of herself with her sleeve, she turned and started to walk away.

Sasuke only stood there, feeling very, very stupid. He was now very angry at himself now, for saying such thing to Minami! "Wait!" He yelled, and was instantly holding her wrist, pulling her back.

"WHAT!" Minami yelled back, a tear visible in her eye. She tried to get away from him, trying her best to run off, but his grip was tight on her, and part of her wanted to stay.

Sasuke looked at the ground, and when he looked up, he had sincere look on him. "I'm sorry." He said, his insides feeling miserable. "I…I didn't mean what I said. I thought that you were only doing that for a reason, but…it's just that you looked so comfortable with him." He said bitterly, feeling even more ashamed. He brought his hand up and whipped a tear off her cheek. "I'm sorry."

"Well you know what, Sauske-san?" Minami said after a while of thinking. "Tell me why. Then I'll think of forgiving you." She smiled, feeling happier. So maybe Gaara was true? But she wanted to hear it from his mouth.

Sasuke looked away, feeling even more embarrassed. "I was jealous." He muttered after a while.

"Hmm?" Oh she loved this. "I didn't catch that."

Sasuke frowned at her, but it was his fault that he was in this mess. "I was jealous." He said, this time more audible. "I was jealous that you seemed happier with him than me."

Her grin became wider, laughing now. "Good, I forgive you." She said, hugging him which made him turn tomato red. "Anyway, Gaara and I are just friends. Don't worry about it. I see nothing else in him, and he sees nothing in me as well."

Sasuke nodded, feeling very stupid. Of course! Minami was not that type of person, and he should have known that. That was one of the facts he liked about her. "Sorry…" He muttered again.

"God, if you say sorry again Sasuke-san, I will smack you!" She warned, letting him go. "Now, let's get back. I am still supposed to be with Gaara, why don't you come with us? Then you can see that you have no rival." She giggled and started to walk off to where she left Gaara.

"Are you going to rub it in my face now?" He sighed, but followed her back.

"Yup. Just think: The great Uchiha, jealous!"

"Minami…" his voice sounded desperate, defeated.

"Oh, and desperate and defeated tone, I can't wait to tell everyone! Oh my god! NARUTO! There is something very funny I want to share with you!"

"Minami…"
