Chapter Three

What About Sasuke?

Days went on, and nothing happened of interest. No one mysteriously vanished, and no one had any major injuries. The week had been a normal one, and Sakura was getting worried.

"Why hasn't anything happened yet this week? I mean, just last week three kids were found dead! Now… nothing at all? It just doesn't fit…" she walked along with Naruto to their next class, a look of concentration on her face.

"Maybe last week really was just a few accidents. Maybe nothing is going on at all." Naruto replied. He didn't like the idea of having to look around the corner before walking down the hall.

"No, they weren't accidents. I don't know how, but I know. Something's up, and I'm going to figure out what."

Naruto turned to her with a puzzled look, "Ok… how?"

"Not sure…" Sakura continued the phrase with a large sigh.

Once the two got to their English class, they took their seats. In this class, the students got to choose where they sat, so naturally, Naruto and Sakura sat together. Even if Sakura did want to sit elsewhere, Naruto would fallow. He was like a small, energetic puppy, always at your feet, almost causing you to trip. As they sat in the back of the class, they continued their conversation.

"So, got any ideas yet?" Naruto asked eagerly.

"No, not yet. I would be able to figure out what's up if I got a look at the dead bodies…" at the words 'dead' and 'bodies' Naruto cringed.

"I don't mind the words themselves, but when you put them together like that, I can't help but shake. I mean, just listen to it, 'dead bodies'. God, it sounds so… bad."

Sakura began to laugh. "You are afraid of words? God, now that's sad!"

Naruto quickly glared at her, "Oh ya, and I bet your not afraid of anything." He shot back.

"Nope," she answered with a sly smile, "not a thing."

"Ya right." Naruto glared at her again.

"I see that look in your eyes Naruto, and don't even think about it. There is no way you will be able to scare me. I told you, I am not afraid of anything."

Naruto just grinned slyly. "I won't do anything… at the moment."

"Naruto…" Sakura said annoyed.

Suddenly, the class went quiet. The chatter of the students stopped as a boy walked into the room.

"Great… everyone stop for the all powerful Sasuke…" Naruto grumbled while leaning back on his chair, arms crossed over his chest.

Sasuke began walking though the class. As he walked by, everyone's facial expression changed. Brighter when he seemed as if he was approaching, then sad as he walked right on by. No one dared ask him to sit beside them, for they were too afraid he would shot them down. Well, almost no one.

"Hi Sasuke!" a girl with long flowing blonde hair tied up in a high ponytail approached the boy.

"Ino pig…" Sakura muttered. Her eyes began to flare up. Ino was going to steal Sasuke away, just like she did that boy when they were little. 'She is such a flirt, it makes me sick.' Sakura said to herself.

Sasuke didn't respond, so Ino continued. "Why don't you sit with me?" she grabbed his arm at began pulling him over to her seat. Strangely, he didn't fallow. The tension in the room grew exponentially as Ino turned back to face Sasuke.

"Coming…" she asked him. Once again, no response. It was amazing how he could keep his face so emotionless…

"Ok, sure. You don't need to sit with me." Ino let go of Sasuke's arm as it feel to his side. "At least I tried, huh."

Ino turned and walked back to her seat with a smile on her face. There, her friends began worshiping her. "Oh, my god! You actually talked to him!" "Screw that, she grabbed his arm!" "You're so brave Ino."

"God, they drive me crazy!" Sakura said, motioning toward Ino and her friends. "They are so preppy, it scares me!"

"Yup, scary people…." Naruto said, nodding his head. Suddenly, he realized something, "Wait, HA! You said you were scared! HA! I win!"

Sakura quickly turned to Naruto, "No, that doesn't count. That was just an expression. Not meant literally."

"No it wasn't!"

"Yes it was!"

Suddenly, the teacher walked in and told everyone to take his or her seat. Sasuke was still standing at the moment, so everyone turned to him, each wondering if he might sit next to them. He then walked to the back of the class and took a seat… right next to Sakura.

Everyone in the class sighed, and then turned to the front of the room. Many girls began to whisper, "Why is he sitting with forehead freak? She's so ugly! God, he should have sat with us! We are so way cooler."

Sakura heard these words, and flinched. 'Stupid girls… they don't know anything.' She said to herself. Usually, she hid her feelings pretty well, not showing any sign of pain, but today, well, today she just wasn't up to it. She lowered her head and looked at her feet. She allowed her eyes to fill with tears, but she hid them with her hair.

"Hey, Sakura, are you ok?" Naruto asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. Sakura nodded her head quickly, trying to hide her red eyes from his sight. 'There is no way I'm going to let them see me cry. No way.' Suddenly, someone tapped her. She turned her head slightly, so her face was still covered by her hair. To her surprise, Sasuke was looking at her, holding out his hand. In it, was a pure white handkerchief. She looked up at him, then back at the piece of fabric in his hand. She gave him a small smile, and took the cloth from him. She then used it to dry her eyes. 'I'm not going to let them see me cry.' After drying her eyes, she turned to Sasuke and handed him back his handkerchief.

"Thank you." She said in a small, quiet voice. She gave him another smile. He didn't smile in return, only turned back to his notebook.

Little did she know he was blushing. Little did she know he felt goose bumps on his arms when he saw her smile. Little did she know he glanced over at her during classes, trying ever so much not to be noticed. 'God, what's happening to me! This is not supposed to happen! URG!'

To be continued…
