CHAPTER 6
Reunions and running late
She stood up and slowly made her way towards the tree humming her little lullaby, she placed her hand on the bark loving the rough texture of the wood beneath her fingers. Smiling she turned around allowing the bark to touch her back as she slid down and took a seat beneath the shade of the tree. Still humming she leaned back and allowed the soft breeze to sweep her long pink tresses, getting lost in her own little world.
"Sakura . . . chan?"
Opening her eyes, she met cold and dark onyx.
"Sasuke . . ."
He stood in front of her his hands fell limp to his sides. His face, it remained blank and unemotional but if you look close enough his eyes were widen in a fraction. His mouth opened to say something but it quickly closed as he whipped his head to the side, his face acquiring a painful expression.
"Sasuke?"
He turned to look at her once more opening his mouth. "I—"
"SAKURA-CHAN! WHERE ARE YOU!-?" But he was cut off when Naruto's loud voice entered the formerly quiet courtyard.
"Naruto!" She called out, smiling she turned to look at the raven haired boy only to find him glaring at the direction of Naruto's voice.
"Sasuke . . . Is something wrong?"
He turned to look at her glare disappearing but a hostile look still present.
"Hn."
"SAKURA-CHAN!"
She sighed and called out. "I'm over here!"
The yelling soon stopped and a slightly panting Naruto rounded the corner and entered the empty grounds. His face broke into that sunny smile of his as he saw the rosette standing a few feet away from him. "Sakura-chan!" He scooped her into his arms and twirled her around earning a giggle from her.
"Gomene!" He cried out hugging her to his chest careful not to crush her in any way. "I can't believe I just left you like that!"
Sakura giggled and reached to pull on his ear, which earned she earned a yelp from the blonde. "Still the same as ever, ne?"
He pouted but smiled again as he released the girl. "Ne, Sakura who were you talking with before I got here?"
Sakura tilted her head to the side in confusion. "What are you talking about? He's right—"turning around she saw nothing but empty space "—here?"
"Where?" He asked looking around. "I don't see anyone—But enough of that we have to hurry to class we're already late!"
"Ah!" Sakura exclaimed in realization. "You're right! I can't find my bag though!"
Naruto grinned as he picked up sakura bridal style and started running.
"N-Naruto!-?" Sakura squealed at the sudden movement and hugged Naruto around the neck to keep herself from falling. "W-what are you doing!-? P-put me down this instant!"
He laughed out loud as he ran up a flight of stairs. "Oh come on sakura-chan! Baa-chan did say not to get you tired, and this is the fastest way we can get to class!" He grinned. "Don't worry our stuff is already there!"
Sakura looked uneasy but nodded in understanding hugging him tighter as he seemed to run faster as he made a quick turn. Sakura almost fell out of his grip with a squeal as he came to an abrupt stop.
"We're here!"
"Naruto-baka!" Sakura whined tears in her eyes. "Never do that again!"
He laughed at her and patted her on the head trying to fix her now messy hair all the while saying his apologies.
Neither of them noticing a pair of onyx eyes looking at them with anger and distaste.
"Ohayo minna, My name is Haruno Senju Sakura." She gave a small bow in greeting. "Pleasure to meet you all." Sighs of adoration from the male population echoed around the room as Sakura made her introduction.
Kakashi coughed and glared at his male students before looking at the new girl once more. "So Sakura-san, tell us about yourself; Likes, dislikes and dreams."
Sakura smiled and nodded, once again facing the class she took in a deep breath. "I like reading, mostly medical books and novels. Dislikes? Umm" Her face scrunched up into her adorable thinking face which made Naruto want to hide her somewhere far away. "Ahh!" She exclaimed blushing a bit as she Fidgeted in her spot. "I-I guess you could say that I'm not that fond of the dark." Her voice fell into a whisper as she uttered out the word 'dark' associated with a small blush. "And as for dreams, I want to be a doctor." She looked up and her eyes sparkled with confidence and determination.
"I want to be like my mother, strong and independent, to be able to help people in need."
Kakashi hid a smile behind his book as he looked at the girl fondly. 'Not too far till you reach that dream kiddo.'
"Well said" Kakashi patted her head with a smile. "An amiable dream, for such a young lady,"
Sakura blushed at that and mumbled a small 'thank you'. Kakashi chuckled and began rubbing her head affectionately, "You're such a cute kid—"
"YOU PEDOPHILE!-!" Naruto stood up his desk with an accusing finger pointed at Kakashi who had his hand frozen in mid-air. "DON'T TOUCH SAKURA-CHAN!"
Kakashi gave the boy a blank look as he, once again, fished his pocket for his favorite novel. "Why Naruto, I'm surprised you knew the word…" He said in his usual monotone voice.
Naruto glared at the man and stalked over to the front and took Sakura into his arms once more. "Stay away from sakura-chan you old pervert!"
Kakashi's lone visible eye twitched. 'Old?'
"Oh? Perverted?" Kakashi placed on a hurt look. "I'm appalled!" He gasped out. "To think that my favorite student thinks of me like that," He pretended to wipe away a stray tear.
"I'm hurt."
"SHUT UP!" Naruto yelled and picked up sakura once more, "Me and Sakura-chan are gonna be sitting at the back—away from you." Sakura blushed and hid her face into Naruto's hair, pouting as he carried her like a child to the back of the room.
Kakashi hid a chuckle behind his book as he turned to face the board once more. "Now, back to the question…"
Sakura's face was flushed red as she took out her notebook and pen as she began writing down Kakashi's lecture. 'Stupid Naruto!'
Naruto snuck a glance at the cherry faced girl and smiled.
'Sakura-chan…'
"That bastard…" A low and dark voice hissed as the owner punched a nearby window with blind rage, glass threatening to shatter from the force.
Sasuke's eyes flashed red as he walked through the empty hallway. He had witnessed how the two interacted with each other. He frowned when Naruto poked her cheek in a teasing manner and the pinkette pouted cutely in response. That frown quickly turned into a scowl when the blonde had the audacity to take her hand into his without hesitation. Sakura blushed a pretty shade of pink but surprisingly didn't pull away.
He turned away not wanting to watch anymore and just walked away from the scene.
To think that the blonde had gotten to her first,
"Always him… always Naruto" He spat his name like a curse and continued walking aimlessly.
…
"Uchiha-san."
"Hn."
"…Kimimaro has been looking for you and he said that you are needed back at the—"
Sasuke's fist connected with a glass window, it shattered under the force leaving his hand injured and bleeding. "Tell Kimimaro that I'll return when I fucking want to. Until then I don't want to see you bastards skulking around here got it?" He snapped.
The crony flinched at the harsh tone and retreated back with a small nod. "Hai Uchiha-sama."
Sasuke didn't even bother turning around to know that the male had ran off to deliver his reply. He glanced down at his still bleeding hand and brought it close to his mouth, licking away his own blood.
"Sakura…"
SNAPSHOT: Image of a high school uniform wearing Sasuke, his tie lose around his neck and a few buttons undone to reveal his chest. He looking straight into the camera lifts up his bleeding knuckle near his lips, his tongue darting out to lick of the blood seeping out. A smirk sent your way as a mischievous glint pass through dark onyx eyes.
… couldn't resist! XD
No matter how much I hate Sasuke… the asshole is one smexy son-of-a-bitch. X3
So yeah I changed the ending part if you have noticed… I was unsatisfied when I was re-reading it so to hell with it and proceed with making it better!
I know you guys were probably expecting a longer version of chapter six but sadly it was just Sasuke's part that I was super disappointed at (and yes I used super as an adjective) But worry not my readers. A new chapter is in the making :D so count the days!
