Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, okay? Nor do I own any other anime for that matter… sadly I don't.
Sorry for the delay, I was too lazy to get myself typing and thinking again, after all it is our summer break here in the Philippines. Now here goes nothing. Oh, and please don't kill me if it's bad, I'm not much of a writer anyway. Ah, one more thing I forgot to mention in the other chapter, everything is in Sasuke's POV… why? cause I want to! haha! and besides… It's fun to mentally torture Sasuke with all those 'what am I going to do?' panicky thoughts.
Note: Words in Italics are either thoughts or dreams... but I leave you to figure which is which. And the six dots signal to time passing ro scence change... don't fret too much there are only 2 of 'em.
Ignorant Lover – Chapter 2
As I walk down this road leading to home, the freezing snow, quietly falling onto me and my surroundings send a chill toward my spine. Hands that have started to become ice in this cold weather. I urge my body to move in spite of this cold and dangerous blizzard.
It seemed that I left too early. I thought that the weather would be fine and bearable, but unexpectedly, this blizzard had begun.
I try to hurry on home, trying to escape from this attack. This rain of snow, a sea of never ending coldness.
Only a few more steps. I am almost there. I am only a few inches from the door. I stretched out my hand and grabbed the handle and slid the door open. I went in, the blizzard also brought the snow inside.
I am finally back. I started the fire and sat near it. Feeling the warmth flowing through my body as I felt life back in my arms. I sat there in thought. On how to show him what I really am. To show how I feel. But couldn't bring myself to just tell him. I am afraid on how he would react. What if he would never speak to me again? I will just have to show him how I really feel. Only problem is how…
I lied down on the floor and stretched out my hand upward. I imagine his face. It's within my reach. If I only knew what to do… then I will show you how I feel.
"I will find a way… a way to show you my feelings."
As I rested on the floor, I felt weary and sleepy. I fell asleep on the cold hard ground.
……
Cherry blossoms, its petals traveling through the gentle blow of the wind. This path is surrounded by rows of cherry blossom trees at its sides. I was one of the many people walking along this pathway. With me was Naruto-kun.
We walked for a while. Quietly taking a step forward and moving on. As we were walking, he pulled the back of my shirt. So naturally I would come to a stop.
"Sasuke…I… need to tell you something…"
"What is it Naruto?"
A sea of great silence had surrounded the both of us. It seemed that he was reluctant to answer. All I could do was to wait.
"Sasuke… I…"
"You what?"
"I… I…I…"
……
"…hnnn"
I sat up as I had awoken from my sleep. I put my hand over my face and rubbed it to wake me up.
"It was a dream… I wonder… what he was going to say… Naruto-kun…"
I stood up from the ground, my legs feel a bit stiff. I decided to do some stretching. Loosening up my body and feeling more comfortable as I stretched.
"I could you some fresh air… I guess I'll go take a walk…"
I made my way out of my home's door. Slowly walking out, creeping out the door.
Along the street, there were only quite a few who are out. I understand them perfectly. There is a chance of another blizzard and the fact that it's cold outside. Those who are out are most likely just out to eat or just buying things they need for the next snowstorm.
Even if I was originally just out for fresh air, I thought that I should take a walk, you know… to clear my head.
As I walk, my mind was preoccupied by thoughts of Naruto. Out of nowhere I heard a voice calling out to me. "Sasuke!" I looked back but I saw no one so I thought that it was just my imagination, so I continued on.
The voice called to me once more. "Sasuke! Hey Sasuke!" I still saw no one behind me. Suddenly someone stopped me. I looked up to see. It was Naruto who stopped me in my tracks.
"N-N-N-Naruto!"
I quickly turned my head aside hoping that he wouldn't see my face. Apparently blood always rushes to my face causing me to blush.
I quickly thought of what to do. I was put into panic by his sudden appearance. "What do I do? What should I say? Ah! This is driving me crazy! Alright Sasuke… Relax… Act natural."
"Hey, Naruto… What are you doing out?"
"Didn't you know? I always take a walk out at this time. And also maybe grab a bite."
"I see… I never knew that."
"Better a not of that… Let's see… during the afternoon he steps out for walk or to eat out…"
"Ne, Sasuke, you're still looking a bit red… are you sure you should be out right now?"
Naruto leaned closer to me to get a closer look at my face. My face suddenly felt warmer even more than earlier. I quickly turned my head but Naruto also leans in that direction as well trying to see.
"Aha! You're even redder now! Sasuke-kun looks like a tomato! Sasu-tomato!"
"H-H-Hey cut it out!"
I looked at him, being annoyed by his remark. My fists were clenched and my arms were at my sides.
"I'm sorry Sasu-tomat… I mean Sasuke-kun"
"Hmph…"
I could see him giggling. It seems that he finds it funny… the fact that I'm blushing. But he doesn't know why. He doesn't know that it's because of him.
He put his arm over my shoulder. My blood rushed to my face once more. It just can't help it. "Wh-What am I gonna do? N-N-Naurto… Ah! I can't think anymore! What to do? Oh god, help!"
Upon reaction, I quickly removed his arm from my shoulder. He just looked at me then he pointed to my face. "Sasuke… you're turning into a tomato again…" I quickly turned my back on him. Surely he wouldn't see now. But strangely he could seem to follow. Every time I turned he was there in front of me, pointing to my face which has turned bright red due to countless blushing.
"J-Just d-d-don't mind it…"
"Hmph… fine if you like…"
There was some silence between us as we walked. Just like in my dream… 'cept there weren't any cherry blossoms blooming around. Shortly, our silence was broken by a sound. Naruto started to speak.
"Sasuke…I…"
It gave me a great shock. It was almost exactly as that in my dream! I immediately thought of what to say… what to do. "N-Naruto… Oh dear Lord! Help me! What am I going to say? Heeelp! Somebody!"
A/N: that's it… for now… I know readers just hate cliff hangers but I on the other hand, as an author love to leave people hanging! So you just have to wait. I wanna leave you in suspense for now. While I still think of what happens next… now… for the time being… you could read my other stories. And I am terribly sorry if this chapter took too long for you see I just got my ps2 and I'm playing to my heart's content. ja ne! for now…
