Oh my gollies! I'm sorry that I haven't updated this in along time! I've been busy and lazy. PLEASE FORGIVE ME! (Gets beaten by fans with sticks)
ANYWHO! Enjoy the second chapter of As It Was, Like the Summer!
Sasuke found Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi in front of a Mochi vender. He had been so scared and so happy all at once. Who was that girl? He thought to himself. Later that evening, they decided to stay at a local inn.
"We'll have separate rooms. Will that be okay with everyone?" Kakashi asked.
"Okay," said Sakura
'Awe, I wanted to share a room with Sakura! Well, at least I won't be in the same room as stupid Sasuke,' thought Naruto.
Sasuke didn't say anything. (To cool for school)
So, they got their room and board, and went downstairs to eat what the Hostess was serving. They sat around a table, Naruto excited to eat, Sakura nagging at him for being so glutinous, and Kakashi trying to settle them down.
"OI! Natsu! Get in here and clean these floors!" yelled the Hostess. This caught Sasuke's attention.
"H-hai!" said the scrawny blonde girl, coming in from the back with a bunch of logs in her arms. She set them on the pile by the door.
"Geez, Natsu! You always look like a stray dog! You're a disgrace!" said the Hostess. "I'm sorry ma'am," said Natsu. She ran about getting a bucket, a brush, some water and soap, and starting scrubbing the floor.
"That poor girl," said Sakura, "that lady TREATS her like a dog. No wonder she looks like that!"
"…" Sasuke watched her. Something about this girl, what was it?
"Hey Naruto," Kakashi started, "That girl right there…She looks like you."
This put an unpleasant look on Sasuke's face. Sakura chimmed in, "Wow, you're right Kakashi-sensei." Inner Sakura, "THAT POOR GIRL! Sharing the same looks as that idiot! I'd hang myself!"
"Heheheh, I'm much better looking though," said Naruto. They all gave him a 'whatever' look.
"Excuse me," said a soft voice. This grabbed all of their attentions, especially Sasuke's. "P-please pardon me, but I'd like to thank you for buying flowers from me earlier today."
"So that's where you got those flowers!" said Naruto. "No problem," replied Sasuke. She smiled just a little and the Inn hostess called to her again.
LATER THAT NIGHT!
Sasuke lay in bed staring at the sealing when he started to hear some one singing.
"As it was, like the summer, the sky was so blue.
Even though, you've gone away, my heart is still true.
Keep me in your heart…and I will be there too
Remember how it was, that summer…"
Sasuke's body shivered like there was no tomorrow. NATSUKO! The friend he had lost from so long ago! Why was she here in this village?
"Uchiha-san!" she called.
"Oh, Natsuko!" replied Sasuke.
"Wanna play?" she asked and Sasuke said, "sure."
They ran through a field and Sasuke tripped. Natsuko laughed at him, "Are you okay?" "Yes," he replied. "You know," she said as she pulled him up from the ground, "There's a song about summertime and two people who shared many adventures together, kinda like you and I." He looked at her, "Really?" "Mm hmm!" She sang the song to him, but only the first part. Sasuke took a deep breathe in, "that was nice, but was that it?" She blushed, "Well, there is more, but…" "Hmm…" "It's a little embarrassing.." "I won't mind" "Of course you won't! You're not the one singing it!" she yelled. "I'm sorry! Geez…" He looked up towards the sky. It was a radiant blue with puffy clouds going by. "I wonder when I'll get to hear the rest…"
Sasuke sat up in his bed. Had he been dreaming? No. He looked out his window to see no one. The owner of the voice and the song were gone.
HOOT! That's chapter two! Sorry that it's kind of short…
Natsuko: Write longer stories!
Me: Only unless you give me money and Kyo from Dir en Grey!
Natsuko: Hmm…………..
R & R please!
