Chapter Eight

The accident kiss

Sasuke woke up to the sound of the birds. We was a light sleeper. "Its Thursday...tomorrow is the dance..." he said.

Itachi was walking by Sasuke's room and stopped. "The dance? You going with Sakura? Is the band going to play?" he asked.

Sasuke nodded for all the questions. He got up and took a shower. He wasnt really hungry, so he skipped breakfast.

He was about to leave, when a piece of toast hit the back of his head. He turned around a bit annoyed.

Itachi grinned sheepishly. "I ment to throw it onto my plate...I guess I missed..." Sasuke rolled his eyes.

He turned to leave and another piece of toast hit his head. "Stop throwing toast at me!" Sasuke said annoyed.

"Eat something Sasuke. You need your strength. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day." Itachi said.

Sasuke sighed. "Not hungry..." he quickly opened the door, but got hit by a cheerio. "ITACHI!" Sasuke yelled back as he left.

He could hear Itachi laugh. He arrived at school, and saw Sakura chatting with Hinata. Neji was near by throwing rocks at a tree.

Sasuke walked over to the girls. "Hey Sakura." he said. Sakura hugged Sasuke. "Good morning!" she said.

Sasuke blushed lightly. He looked at Hinata. She was eating...toast. Hinata smiled. "Do you want some?" she asked Sasuke.

Sasuke took the toast and smushed it under his foot. "DIE!" he yelled. Sakura slowly walked back to Hinata and Neji came to them.

"S..sasuke?" Sakura said. Neji cocked an eyebrow. "Man, I didnt know you have a problem with toast..." he said.

Sasuke just realized what he did and blushed. "Uh...sorry...my brother threw toast at me this morning, and Im annoyed by it." he said.

Sakura and Hinata giggled. Neji smirked. The bell rang, and they headed to their classes. Sasuke headed to his class with Neji. Math.

Naruto saw Sasuke and waved to him. "HEY SASUKE! COME SIT BESIDE ME!" Naruto yelled.

Mizuki threw a peice of chalk at Naruto. "Dont disrupt the class Mr.Uzumaki." he said.

Naruto's hair was white and chalky. He could hear Hinata giggle. He blushed. Sasuke decided to sit by Neji instead. Hinata and Naruto sat by each other.

Hinata was blushing like mad, when he asked her if he could borrow a pencil. "S..sure.." she said.

Naruto smiled. With his blue bright eyes, and a happy attitude, he made Hinata feel weak in the knees. Now he just smiled at her. She blushed even more.

"Hinata? Your red. Do you have a fever? Can I help somehow?" Naruto asked. HInata shook her head. "Im o..okay." she said cooling down a bit.

Naruto just nodded. Sasuke watched the whole scene. That dobe doesnt know she likes him. What a loser...

The bell rang, and everyone headed out. They boys were playing basketball. The girls were near them watching the game, and chatting.

"Im so bored! Lets do something!" Temari said. Tenten nodded. "Lets go ask the boys if we could play basketball!" she said.

Sakura and Hinata shook their heads. "No way! I suck!" Sakura said. Hinata nodded. Tenten shot her fists in the air. "Come on! Im feeling hyper and energetic! Who wants to go!" Tenten asked.

Temari nodded. "Me! Im going to kick they guys' ass." she said. Ino stood up. "Im in!" she said.

Hinata and Sakura still shook their heads. "We will watch from here. You guys go." Sakrua said.

The other 3 girls shrugged and made their way over to the guys.

"Hey Neji! Can we play?" Tenten asked. Neji shrugged, and passed her the ball. Naruto blocked the pass and shot the ball in the net.

"No girls! Your being soft Neji!" he said. Neji glared at Naruto. "Soft? Your so dead.." he said.

Naruto laughed nervously. "Did I say soft? I ment...uh...roft..?" Sasuke rolled his eyes and took the basketball. He passed it to Temari.

"Show me how good you are." he said. Temari smirked. She walked a bit pass half court and threw the ball. It went into the net.

She cocked an eyebrow and smirked. Sasuke rolled his eyes. "What ever. Wheres Sakura?" he asked.

Ino pointed to Sakura and Hianta. Sauske walked over to them. "Come on Sakura. Play with us." he said with puppy dog eyes.

Sakura sighed. "Fine. I cant resist those. Come on Hinata, you too." Hinata stood up.

They walked back finding Naruto and Temari fighting. "I just shot from half court! What do you mean Im not good enough!" Temari yelled.

Naruto sighed. "Fine! But your not on my team!" he said. Temari smirked. "Then your team will get your ass kicked." she said. Naruto dragged Sasuke over to him. "I have Sasuke! So you will get your ass kicked!" he said.

So the teams were:

Naruto,Sasuke,Sakura,Hinata vs. Temari,Ino,Neji and Tenten. A for Shikamaru...well it was too troublsem.

Naruto and Neji did rock,papaer,scissors and Neji won, rock and scissors. So Njei started off with the ball.

"Who chose Naruto to represent our team?" Sasuke asked. The girls shrugged. Naruto scratched the back of his head and grinned.

Neji dribbled the ball down half court, but Sasuke took the ball. He dribbled it up to the net, but Tenten and Temari were in his way. So he passed it over to Naruto, who did a lay up and shot.

Tenten had the ball, and dribbled her way pass Sakura, and passed it to Temari, when she saw Naruto heading to her. Temari jumped up and did a dunk.

Soon it was 38-40 Sasuke's team winning. Sasuke had the ball, and dribbled it up to half court.

Neji stopped him, and brought it back. He passed the ball to Ino, who got blocked by Hinata. She didnt really know what to do, so passsed it to Sakura.

Sakura did a lay up and jumped up to shoot. A bunch of eighth graders ran past Sakura. She got pushed and fell back. Neji was behind her and they bumped forward into each other. They kissed. Both of them quickly stopped it.

Sakura's eyes widened. Sasuke not knowing it was an accident was angry. he was holding the ball. He stared at Sakura, and bounced the ball really hard on the ground.

Sauske walked away. Sakura ran after him, but Naruto stopped her. "The bell is going to ring. Leave him alone for now." Naruto said.

Tenten kenw it was an accident, so she wasnt really angry. She walked up to Neji. She ruffled his hair.

"What a good boy! You stopped the kiss quickly. I thought you would enjoy that." she said. Neji shook his head and held Tenten's hand.

"I only enjoy it with you." he said coolly. Tenten blushed and kissed him on the cheek. The bell rang, and everyone headed to their next class.

Sakura headed to Science. Ino sat down beside Sakura, and noticed her staring at Sasuke. "Its okay Sakura. It was an accident." Ino told her.

Sakura kept staring at Sasuke. "I know. But he still will be pissed..." she said. Ino looked at Sakura. She really loves him...if Sasuke doesnt listen, I will make him... Ino thought.

(a/n: i dont feel like writing about science class, so lets skip to lunch)

Sakura sat at an empty table, waiting for Sasuke. Ino sat at a table near her, and gave her a thumbs up. Sakrua nodded as a thanks.

Ino saw Sasuke enter the cafateria. Shikamaru sat down beside Ino. "Hey. I came here to make up for the other day." Shikamaru said. Ino put her hand up infront of her. Shikamaru was suprised. She kept staring at Sakura.

"Okay thanks. But Im busy now." she said. Shikamaru smiled lightly. She really cares for Sakura...shes a really good friend... Shikamaru thought.

Sasuke walked by Sakura like she was dirt. "Sasuke...sit please..." Sakura said. Sasuke sighed and sat down.

"Listen...that kiss...it ment NOTHING. You know that dont you? Because if you didnt..you dont know me...and how much I love you.." she said.

Sasuke stood up. "I guess I dont know you.." he said. Sakura was about to cry. Ino stood up. Shikamaru watched.

"Listen Sasuke! That girl just told you the truth, and is about to cry. What do you do? You tell her you dont know her! What a piece of crap!" Ino said. Sasuke was a little shocked to see Ino like this. Same with Shikamaru.

"Maybe I was right about what I thought. You are a piece of crap! I knew you were cold, but I enver saw Sasuke Uchiha be this mean to his girl friend. What has gotten into you Uchiha! If your like this, I dont think you deserve Sakura. You dont deserve anyone!" Ino said angrily.

Sasuke just stared at Ino, then turned to leave. "Maybe your right..." he muttered and left. Ino was about to go, when Shikamaru held her back. "Ino...I gotta say, your a good friend to Sakura, to stand up for her, but you ahve to stop now." Shikamaru said.

Ino turned around and had tears in her eyes. "Shikamaru! Lok at her! Look at Sakura!" Ino sobbed onto Shikamaru's shoulder. Shikamaru looked at Sakura.

She had her head down on the table. Her hair was messed up. Tears strolled down her face. He could hear her mutter "S..sasuke.." over and over again.

"He broke her heart Shika! I tried! But hes just so stubborn!" Ino cried. Shikamaru nodded. "Your right. I will talk with him Ino." he said. Ino looked up. She smiled and kissed Shikamaru on the cheek. "Thanks Shika.." she said.

Shikamaru blushed, but nodded. He left Ino, and sat down beside Sakura. "Sakura...are you alright?" he asked. Sakura shook her head still crying. She turned to look at Ino.

Ino nodded. Sakura flung her arms around Shikamaru's neck. (FRIEND TO FRIEND) "Shikamaru! W..why is h..he l..like this?" Sakura asked/cried.

Shikamaru just stared into space. "He loves you Sakura...but he doesnt know that sometimes when you kiss, it doesnt mean you will always like it." Shikamaru said.

Sakura stopped crying and wiper away her tears. Ino sat down next to her. Sakura held Ino's hand. "Thanks guys…" Sakura whispered. Ino smiled at Shikamaru. He blushed.

A/N: I know some people might be angry at ino for calling sasuke crap but what ever. Review please!
