READ PLEASE!
Me: I'm not that satisfied with this story...
Suzie: You never are Kat. Thanks for writing it for me
Me: You're welcome. But I still don't like it that much. You know I don't like OCs.
Suzie: Oh well, you did it for me.
Me: La, but still. I'm not expecting a lot of reviews. I'm thinking of deleting it again and never-
Suzie: OMG! IF YOU DO THAT, I'LL KILL YOU!
Me: La. Why do I get the feeling that you're actually serious?
Suzie: 'Cuz I am (cracks knuckles)
Me: (Nods and backs away slowly)
Sasuke saw the girl at a distance, walking toward the library with a look that plainly said that she would give anything away just not to be there. She was late. He smirked.
Her hair was blue, much like his own, but a lighter shade, with striking gray eyes. Her lips curled with detest when she spotted him, but made her way over him anyway.
"Uchiha."
"Urushi."
They acknowledged each other with just that exchange, and walked up to the library, far away from each other as possible, so if someone saw, they would not know they were together.
He had just seated himself in a red armchair, when he saw her seat herself on a desk at the other far end of the library. Feeling the usual spark of annoyance, they had a small glaring match, until he gave up with a loud sigh and went all the way over to her.
"I think we should find books on the subject, take notes, and then compare," Sasuke suggested with an air of authority.
"Well, I think that we should just sit here all day and stare into space," Mey said, just to annoy him.
Sasuke ignored her and went off to get some books with Mey getting up and following him a few seconds later.
Soon they had both chosen a book and settled down to read.
Silence fell between them, sometimes broken with the soft scratching sounds of pencil and paper, or the rustle of page turning.
Mey literally felt some of her brain cells die as she read the boring script. Sneaking a glance to the Uchiha, she saw that he had already filled up a page of notes, and read faster. But she felt herself nodding off, often reading the same paragraph over and over.
Dimly, she was aware that each time she blinked, it took longer for her to open her eyes again. Until she was full out snoring on the desk.
She had the oddest dream. She was dressed in a beautiful dress, happily sitting in the lemon-polished scented seats of a church. The stained glass window reflected rainbow patterns on the marble floor, as wedding music blared out. She looked around, and saw the familiar faces of her classmates. A priest stepped up between a veiled bride, and a masked groom. He began the formal words to marry the couple as Mey wondered who they were. The groom's mask was whisked off, and she blanched. It was Sasuke.
"Ha, I feel sorry for the loser who marries him," she thought.
He slowly grasped the bride's veil, and lifted it up, and the face of the bride was none other than herself…
"NOOOOOOO!"
"Wake up Urushi!"
She sat up groggily, as her blurry vision cleared; she saw the face of a very annoyed looking Sasuke.
A maniacal laugh escaped her lips. She suddenly felt giddy. It was only a dream. She almost even hugged him in her relief.
"You do know you're drooling Urushi."
She wiped her mouth, not forgetting to glare at him, and stretched. She looked over at the clock above them.
"Well, it's time for dinner. See you Uchiha!"
She got up to go when Sasuke grabbed her wrist hard.
"I think we should do more research."
"Let go of me!" she hissed, twisting away.
Then, she saw what he meant. He had about a page of notes, and she barely had half a page, and the notes combined would not even come close to two inches.
Mey struggled with herself. She most definitely did not want to be here any longer, but then again…50 percent of her grade was a lot.
"Can't we do this tomorrow?" she tried as her last hope.
Sasuke snorted. She took that as a no and sat back down.
"So when's this thing due again?" she asked, trying to stall the last streak of freedom before she went back to open the book.
"In two days."
"Two days?" Mey squeaked. "Two days?"
"I'm glad you see my point," he sighed, jotting down another line of notes on his sheet of paper.
She opened her book with new determination. She was going to get that perfect grade if it was going to be that last thing she was ever going to-
"SASUKE-KUN!"
"Shit," he muttered, slamming the book shut, and looking around like a deer caught in headlights;
It started out as a soft shaking, not big enough to hurt you, but enough to annoy you. Then, it got harder and fiercer as a whole mass of fan girls stormed in. And Mey's head seemed to explode with hundreds of voices.
"Look, he's over there!"
"He is such a hunk!"
"What is he doing with a girl?"
"Isn't that Mey Urushi?"
"Get your filthy paws off him!"
How they all managed to fit in the library, Mey would never figure out. But she was certainly feeling very pissed at all the insults being thrown at her.
"Bye Urushi!" And Sasuke was gone in a flash, leaving Mey alone with hundreds of angry fan girls…
---
"You did what?" yelled Naruto.
"Shut up dobe!"
"You left Mey alone with them?" he shrieked.
Sasuke shrugged.
"What did she ever do to you? I mean, sure she hates your living guts, but she's plenty nice!" Naruto fretted, pacing back and forth while Sasuke looked on in annoyance.
"I'm sure Mey can handle herself." But Sasuke wasn't so sure about that. They came in a swarm, as they always do. And they were mad. And when they were mad, shirts got ripped.
It was an hour before first class, but Sasuke and Naruto had come early since it was their duty to clean the classroom up. And Sasuke mentioned what had happened the day before.
"Look, like I said, I'm sure she's fine," Sasuke said, partially because he was feeling a bit guilty about what he did.
"When Mey comes, I'd hate to be you."
As it turns out, it was one of those rare times Naruto was right.
"UCHIHA!"
Dust fell from off of the ceiling, and the chalk rolled off of their places beneath the black board. Instinct told the Uchiha to run, but that would deal a terrible blow to his pride, so he bravely stood his ground. Naruto gave a little wave and a look that said, 'I feel so sorry for you jerk.' And left him to his doom.
"UCHIHA!" Mey bellowed, storming into the room.
Sasuke could not help but flinch. She looked terrible.
That was an understatement.
Bruises seemed to coat every inch of her body in all the colors bruises can come in. Dark blues, deep purples, green, hard yellow, green blue…
She sported a new black eye and he could see the faint markings of footprints on her forehead. Her right arm was bandaged up and her sandals were worn from running. Her hair was messed up and ragged, thinly covered with dirt and dust.
"UCHIHA! HOW DARE YOU LEAVE ME ALONE WITH YOUR STUPID FAN CLUB?"
Sasuke gulped, and for the first time in a long while, he feared for his life.
"THAT'S IT! IT'S OVER! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR COWARDLY FACE EVER AGAIN!"
Naruto stuck his head in through the door. "Ooo, Sasuke, your girlfriend's breaking up with you," he teased.
"I AM NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!" she screamed so loudly, her face turned red, and several spiders fell from the ceiling. Naruto quickly retreated.
"FROM NOW ON UCHIHA, WE WORK ALONE! YOU HEAR ME? ALONE! I FEEL SO SORRY FOR THE PERSON WHO EVER GETS PAIRED UP WITH A BASTARD LIKE YOU FOR THE NEXT STUPID PROJECT!"
It was a wonder her throat wasn't burned raw from the volume of her shouting. And Sasuke half expected to see fireballs shoot out of her eyes.
"WE ARE NEVER GOING TO BE PARTNERS EVER AGAIN! I HATE YOU UCHIHA! I HATE YOU! I HAD TO SPEND ALL NIGHT IN A HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF YOU! IF SOMEONE CAME ALONG, AND JUST KILLED YOU IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD LAUGH! LAUGH I SAY!"
She actually let out a bark of hysterical laugher. Sasuke backed away slowly, looking for escape routes out of the room.
The window was an option, but it was right behind her, and so was the door. Unless he distracted her away from them and ran as fast as he could. He was actually making attack plans in his head when a tall, auburn haired girl pinned back her arms from behind.
"Run Sasuke!" she yelled, struggling to keep the fighting girl down.
He didn't need to be told twice, and rushed out of there. He heard Mey yell, "What the hell Naoko?" before the door slammed shut.
