Chapter 7

"You know pouting won't do anything right?" The lazy pineapple haired brunette yawned as he glanced at his blonde haired hyperactive friend who was currently sitting on top of his desk watching the scene before them with a glare and pout. Blue eyes narrowed as more male students came over to crowd on his beloved cherry blossom asking questions that really set him on the edge.

"Ne, Sakura-san! Do you want to have lunch with us?"

"Haruno-san, what's your favorite color?"

"Sakura-san! Where did you transfer from?"

"Haruno-san, do you have any hobbies?"

"Sakura-san, can I call you Sakura-chan?"

"Sakura-chan is that really your hair color?"

"Sakura-san!"

A vein throbbed on his forehead as Naruto gripped the ends of his table with a growl. Apparently everyone had noticed how pretty his Sakura-chan was. Shikamaru, who had his cheek resting on the palm of his cheek lazily watching the conflicted expressions that came across Naruto's face. Apparently was amusing enough to keep him awake. They had switched classrooms for third period. Right now was suppose to be their Math with Shiranui Genma, but it seemed as though something came up and now they were all in self study, meaning: get to know the super cute transfer student while you have the chance.

"Why don't you just go in there and grab her if you're so annoyed?"

Naruto didn't bother turning to him, instead he twisted his math notebook in poor attempt of calming himself down. "I… can't…"

The brunette raised a brow in question at that. "Oh?"

"She made me promise…"

…

"But Sakura-chan—!"

"No."

"But—!"

"Naruto-kun! I said no!" She pouted and crossed her arms over her chest, a habit she had done in her childhood when she was annoyed. Needless to say none of them were complaining seeing as she was absolutely adorable doing this action. "How can I make friends if you keep coddling me?"

"But baa-chan said—"

"I know what she said! But that doesn't give you the right to throw a punch at any random person who—"

"But he was looking at you funny!"

"I have pink hair! Of course I'll get some odd looks here and there!"

"But—!"

"Naruto!"

"Fine! Fine!" He pouted. "I get it… but that doesn't mean I have to like it!"

…

Shikamaru smirked and mouthed one word that sent the blonde falling out his seat. "Whipped"

Naruto sat up and glared at Shikamaru. "Shut up."

"Say what you want but once you fall in love with a girl, don't come crawling to me."

A look of horror passed the lazy Nara's face as he buried his face into his tucked arms. "Don't even go there dumbass… Women are too troublesome."

Naruto snickered and took another glance at sakura only to have his anger reignited seeing as the small group of newly formed fan boys escalated to that of half the male population in the class.

"Ne Sakura-chan, you really are cute!" A guy whose name escaped him said to her, unnecessarily moving closer to her.

Sakura blushed under his gaze and mumbled out a small thank you. Naruto's vein popped when he reached out to tuck a stray lock of pink hair to her ear.

THAT'S IT!

"TEME!"

Naruto roared as he lifted up his desk above his head aiming it over to the group of love sick high school boys, said group shrieked in panic as the blonde stalked over them with a malicious killing intent that sent them scrambling away.

"Whoa! Uzumaki's lost it!"

"Naruto put the damn desk down!"

"N-Naruto-kun! What are you doing!-?"

"Naruto… Naruto!"

"Gomenasai…" Naruto sat on the bed inside the infirmary with a small pout as he stared at the ground in shame.

Sakura sighed and continued to dab the bruise with some antiseptic, ignoring his pained wince. "Honestly…Why do you have to be so difficult?"

Naruto shot her a hurt look. "B-But Sakura-chan! That Hidenori-guy was touching you all weird!"

She glared at him as she slammed the bandage onto his forehead none-too gently. "His name is Hideyoshi, and you make him sound like some kind of pervert!"

"Well he is a pervert!" He yelled. "Touching your hair like that!"

Sakura blinked. "My hair?"

"Yes! Doesn't he know only special people get the privilege of touching—"He picked up a lock of her cotton candy hair for emphasis. "This!-?"

Sakura stared at him blankly before bursting into fits of giggles.

"S-Sakura-chan?"

Sakura giggled some more and wiped a stray tear away from her eye. "G-Gomen!" She laughed some more. "I-It's just that y-you haven't changed a bit!"

Naruto blushed in realization as to what she was thinking. In their childhood whenever he and Sasuke would visit her in the hospital and find her with one of the nurses having girl time… or as they like to call princess time. She would always have her hair up in a pretty style that would have them blushing. Once there was an incident concerning one of the male nurses, who they found was sitting inside her room and being all too comfortable for their liking, playing with her and doing princess time. They had tackled the poor nurse to the ground and proceeded to choke the life out of him. Luckily Shizune was passing through and managed to yank the two boys away from the weeping young man.

"T-That's…!" Naruto looked away, not knowing what to say with a blush as Sakura continued to laugh.

Sakura grinned as her giggles finally died down and reach over to him and pinched his cheeks fondly. "Too cute!"

He swatted her hand away. "Sakura-chan!" he whined. "I told you to stop calling me cute! Guys aren't supposed to be cute!"

She giggled and pulled him up. "Come one Naru-Naru," She teased using his old nickname. "It's time for lunch."

He walked along the halls of the school with his hands shoved inside his pockets.

"Hey did you hear?"

"What?"

"There's a new girl in school and I heard she was pretty cute."

"The one with the weird hair?"

"Yeah."

"Isn't she Uzumaki's girl?"

"Ha! As if that loser could score that."

He paused in his step. He glanced at the two for a moment then resumed walking.

…

"W-What did you do to piss off the Uchiha?"

"M-Me? He looked at you!"

"No way!"

…Hi there!

And~ the story is leaning too much on the NaruSaku side… :3 Sasuke will get a little lovin… eventually XD

Okay so yeah this came out later than expected… and its pretty short. -_-

It's just that I've been busy with summer training in the morning and review classes in the afternoon. So I'm pretty much busy. 8:00-12:00 is CAT training 1:00-5:00 is review classes. I'm pretty much lucky if I get to have the chance to have meals in between plus commuting from my house to school to my house then to the university is really hectic seeing as my house is like in another city… geez school hasn't even started and I feel like I'm already behind work! DX

Anyways~
