"Heehee! So, Ino, who do you like?" Sakura asked.
"Sasuke-kun!" Ino replied.
"Don't you like Shikamaru?" Sakura prodded.
"Maybe if he stopped being 'troublesome.'" Ino said, annoyed.
"So.. you want to stop... what?" Sakura was confused/
"He.. Uhm.. I don't know! I won't go for him until Sasuke-kun is out of the way, forehead-girl!" Of course.
This means trouble.
----------
"SASUKE!"
"Hn?"
"Ino isn't going to go for Shikamaru until your are out of the way! You.." Her voice turned deep, dark, and evil. "Know what that means.. right?"
"N..No.."
"We have to date!" Although most times the dark aura of death would have been lifted.
"NOOOOOO!"
"Urgh. Fine. You're going to have to... disappear for a few days."
"What do you mean?"
"Do I have to spell it out for you, man!"
"..Yes." Sasuke just liked to be annoying.
"We'll just say you went on a mission, and you leave for.. like.. ever. Or at least until Ino falls for Shikamaru."
"How long will that take?"
"...You know those little... weiner dogs you like to eat?"
"Yeah, what about 'em?"
"Pack a lot."
--------------
Sasuke sat in his mansion, looking at everything from his computer, which was getting feed from various cameras. There was one clipped to the Ramen shop, Sakura's head, and various other places.
He watched a disastrous scene play out.
Hinata walked up to Sakura. "SAKURA! NARUTO LIKED ME BETTER BEFORE I CHANGED! I HATE YOU!" BAM! She sucker-punched Sakura.
Sasuke has to stop himself from trying to go help Sakura. She can take care of herself.. right?
Sakura jumped up and caught Hinata's next blow. "Hinata, you haven't really--" She dodged a kick. "--changed! All you did was stop stuttering!" She kicked Hinata in the shin. "You acted different because you THOUGHT I made you different."
"What the heck?" She wondered what Sakura just said. "Oh. Okay. Sorry, Sakura. Bye!" She said waving a cheery goodbye.
Sasuke sat back in his chair. Girls are so weird.
-------------
Sakura had absolutely nothing to do. Sasuke wasn't here, Ino was looking for proof that Sasuke was gone, Shikamaru called her troublesome and told her to stop bothering him, and they already had Neji's birthday plans. With nothing to do, she sat by a lake. How exciting, she told herself. She hated being alone. It was so BORING!
------------------------
Sasuke decided to talk to Sakura, so he picked up a microphone and screamed, "HI PINKY!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Sakura screamed as many birds flooded out of trees and people turned to stare.
"HAHAHA! You're so weird."
"That was uncharacteristic of you, Sasuke."
"Boredom drives people to the brink of insanity."
"I can understand. Wait no I-- yes I--no... nevermind."
"Dobe."
"Shut UP!"
"Whatever."
"...Now what?"
"I dunno. Uh.. how's your life?"
"Shouldn't you know, you're here for all of it!"
"Really? You need a life."
"Well what do you do in you spare time besides train?"
"...Hnn."
"I knew it."
After a few moments of silence...
"Why did you decide to change?" Sasuke asked while Sakura was surprised.
"I... was tired of myself. My fangirly self."
"Why?"
"It was all.. So crazy.. Weird.. and pointless."
"Oh."
"I hated who I was, I like myself better right now. Do you?"
"...Hnn." Sasuke wasn't sure. He missed the warm greetings and the attention, and the fact that Sakura didn't love him for his money, and was always so kind, and sweet, and how life seemed empty without her. But the new Sakura was... uhm.. tough? Yes, tough... and cold and heartless. He liked the old Sakura.. she just needed to toughen up!
"O-oh. Okay then." Sakura said, feeling slightly bad.
"I like that you're tough now. But I--"
"Hmm?"
"Nothing." It wasn't like him to get all mushy gushy. Eeew.
------------
Rumble Rumble Rumble.
"W-what's that?" Sakura asked fearfully.
"Oh my gawd." Sasuke said. "Run Sakura!"
"W-why!"
"IT'S THE FANGIRLS!"
"EEEEEK!" Sakura screamed. She knew what they would do, so she started to run away whilst a dust cloud followed her.
"I-I thought that Naruto took care of them!"
"I don't think he got all 5,074, Sakura."
"NOO! NARUTO!"
"Sakura come to my house!"
"That's leading them into the belly of the beast! ARE YOU CRAZY!"
"YES! Now get in here!"
"NOOOO!" Sakura said. She had run around the park three times before realizing that she would die long before the fangirls.
"Fine! I'm coming! And your house is all the way on the other side of town!"
"Yes."
"IDIOT!"
"RUNNN!"
So, finally, Sakura got to Sasuke's house, to collapse inside whilst fangirls banged on the door. Sasuke quickly appeared and opened a window, then used a fireball no jutsu to scare them off.
"Sakura are you okay?"
"NO! YOUR GAY!"
"W-what!"
"GIVE ME BACK MY COLD HEARTED EVIL BASTARD!" Sakura yelled, shaking the currently OOC Sasuke.
"STOP SHAKING ME YOU IDIOTIC FANGIRL!"
"YAAY YOU'RE BACK!" Sakura said, hugging him, then realizing that she was hugging him and stopped, turned around and blushing.
"Whatever. Go into the computer room."
Sakura stood and stared at the huge mansion.
"On second thought, I'll take ya there."
------------
Not much humor there, but I had to get the SasuSaku going!
