Chapter 41 – Naruto's Chapter (Part 2)

I hated Mondays. Mondays meant school. I hated school. The only good thing about school was that I could see my friends and Hinata. I hadn't seen Hinata since prom night and she had kissed me. It was like winning a year supply of free ramen but better. I couldn't wait to see her and tell everyone we kissed. I hadn't been kissed since my first in middle school with…Sasuke. Stupid Tobio had to bump into me while were arguing and made me fall onto Sasuke making us kiss.

But Hinata's kiss was totally awesome. I could kiss her all the time. She's so soft and sweet. She tasted like cinnamon rolls. Hinata…mmmmmm

"Naruto-kun," I heard my angel say my name. I saw her coming towards me blushing. Was she still thinking about our kiss?

"Hinata," I hummed her name.

"Was it you?"

"Was what me?" I was so confused.

"I guess it wasn't then. Good," She looked like she was pondering something important. I could only oks at her lips. Hianta's lips…come to daddy!

"What are you doing?" She squeaked. I pulled away from her.

"I wanted to kiss you," I confessed. She turned bright red.

"Not now, Naruto-kun," She looked away.

"Not even a little one," I pouted.

"Well…okay," She gave me a perfect peck. I couldn't stop grinning.

"I have to go and find out who it was," She muttered.

"Who was what?" I asked confused.

"Oh, right you haven't seen it," Hinata took my hand and pulled me towards the science room. Sai was blocking the entrance. He let Hianta and I pass but no one else. I didn't know what was going on then I saw them. All over the room were pictures of Sasuke kissing Sakura! Why was he kissing Sakura? Ino, Shikamaru, Choji and Sakura were trying to take all the pictures down. Sakura looked very upset.

"What's going on?" I was so confused about everything.

"Apparently, Sasuke kissed Sakura in the park on Saturday and someone took a picture and did this. Sakura didn't want anyone to know. Now everyone knows and she wants it all down before Sasuke gets here or he'll be furious," Hinata began tearing the pictures down as well. I could not believe they had kissed. I couldn't believe that Sasuke didn't tell me since I saw him on Saturday. He was acting weird that day…

"So guess what happened last night?" I had grinned as we went to the arcade.

"What?" He seemed uninterested.

"Hinata and I kissed," I bragged. His eyes got wide but he didn't look at me. I saw his jaw tighten.

"She was a lot better than you," I joked trying to make light of our awkward first kiss. Stupid Tobio. Sasuke stopped.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"What if it was bad?" I heard him mumble to himself.

"What was bad?" He looked up at me and shook his head.

"Nothing, dobe."

Was he thinking about his kiss with Sakura? He was worried about his kissing skill. Hee-hee.

"What is going on h-" I turned around and saw Sasuke get pass Sai. His face went from shock to fury in a flash.

"Shikamaru," Sasuke somehow got to Shikamaru and pressed him against the wall with his arm against Shikamaru's throat.

"It wasn't me!" Shikamru quickly defended himself.

"You're the only one who saw," I heard Sasuke whisper angrily to Shikamaru. Shikamru knew but he didn't tell me. Not cool.

"It's a popular park. Anyone could have seen and taken a picture," Shikamaru pushed Sasuke away. Sasuke shot a nasty glare at Sakura then stormed out of the room. Sakura started to cry. It wasn't her fault. I went after that teme.

"Sasuke!" I yelled at him when we got outside of the school. He didn't stop walking away.

"Teme!" I finally caught up to him. He looked furious. He wouldn't look at me but stayed focus on what was before him.

"Leave me alone, dobe," He growled.

"Hell no. You're going to tell me everything."

"Why would I do that?"

"Because we're best friends."

"You're such a woman," He rolled his eyes.

"Shut up! Friends tell friends what goes on in their lives! Now tell me about your kiss!"

"I kissed Sakura," He sighed.

"I know that but why? Do you like her?" I hoped.

"You're such a dobe," He shook his head.

"You didn't answer my questions!"

"I kissed her because she wouldn't shut up and I wanted her to shut up. I don't like her as anything more than a friend."

Friends don't just kiss friends to shut each other up…

"Don't give me that unbelieving look, Naruto."

My face gave away my feelings.

"So Shikamaru saw you guys?" I tried to get him off of my face.

"Yeah but he was going to keep it a secret. I don't who took the picture. I'm going to kill him or her when I find out who it is," Sasuke stated.

"Who do you think it could have been?"

"I don't know. Shikamaru was right by saying it is a popular park. Anyone could have done it."

"But why would they put it up all over the classroom?"

"To humiliate me," Sasuke answered.

"What would they have to gain from humiliating you?" I didn't understand.

"I don't know. I'm the mastermind behind this," He was so defensive.

"Well, storming out like this only gives him what he wants. You need to come back and act so unaffected so he knows he didn't do what he meant to," I said.

"For once, you're right, Naruto."

I ignored his rude response but did follow him back towards school.

"I have one question though, Sasuke."

"What?"

"How was it?"

"How was what?"

I blushed.

"Kissing Sakura?" I had always wanted to know. I mean she could never compare to Hinata but I still wanted to know.

"Dobe," He punched me and walked off leaving me to rub my sore arm. I guess it was pretty damn good.
