Disclaimer - but alas, fair maiden I, does not own Naruto. Sigh.
A/N - sorry for the spelling errors of there are any XwX. I'm too lazy to fix them.
A moment passes. Complete silence descends. Onyx black eyes stared emptily down at waiting emerald orbs.
Another moment passes.
"Sasuke-kun," the pinkette growls.
"Hn?"
"Waiting."
"Ah."
Fists clench. The girl turns around, her pastel pink hair whips into a pale, expressionless face. Into the setting sun, a truly hurt girl walks away.
A sigh escapes as she is watched. Damn.
-ANOTHER Uchiha-
Haruno Sakura - pink hair, jade green eyes, pale skin, rather short, some boldly might say: cute, anger issues, formally in love with a Uchiha (big mistake) - sat in a tree as the moon glinted off her silky locks. An irritated sigh escaped her lips as her mind again thought about HIM. She hugged her knees close to her chest, shivering through another gust of wind.
Her eyes lay on a figure walking the path beside the redwood. From the spiky blonde hair and the orange jump-suit, his identity was quite obvious. Sakura held her breath in hopes for the Uzumaki not to notice her.
Uzumaki Naruto - yellow blonde hair, cerulean blue eyes, fair skin, kind of annoying, clue-less, big mouth, SUCKS at cheering people up, best friend/complete enemy of Uchiha Sasuke - was walking with his arms folded behind his head to none other than the Raman shop despite the late hour.
A bead of sweat plopped onto the ground in front of him. He stared down at it with a raised brow, absolutely curious. Rain? he wondered blankly. He looked up into the night sky, scratching his head in bemusement. Then a blotch of pink caught his eye. A grin broke out onto his lips as he climbed the tree.
"Sakura-chan!" he greeted loudly.
"Hi, Naruto." Sniff.
Usually, when Sakura used no suffix she was either angry or upset. As he gazed at her, he hopefully decided on upset. Either way she was scary. If she's upset, it's something that bastard Sasuke did. "So, um..."
"Go away, Naruto, I don't want to talk."
Ouch. Must. "You sure? I could go beat 'im up for ya if ya want."
She whipped a tear from streaming down her cheek. "Thanks but no," she sniffed. She offered him an utterly fake smile.
He nodded in understanding and stood up on the rather large branch. "Alright then. See ya. Good night. Don't stay out too late."
What are you, my mother? she thought in agitation. But his huge grin made her anger vanish. And everyone knew anger overcomes sadness. In his own oblivious way, Naruto managed to cheer her up. She watched as he continued down the path eagerly.
She decided his warning was to be heeded. Therefor, after a few moments of indecision, she hopped down and began on her way.
A twig snapping made her ear twitch.
She instantly flung around with her defenses raised. "Who's there?' she demanded. Despite herself, her knees trembled with fear. The long pause did nothing to evaporate the wretched sensation. "Hello?" her voice faltered as her hands fell to her sides.
A dark figure stepped into view from the shadows of the towering trees. Familiar black eyes stared at her with as much expression as a stone. Raven colored hair rustled with the breeze. Sakura was baffled. It was too tall to be Sasuke and the black, red-clouded robe was something outside of his taste of clothing. It was too dark to make out any other details though.
"Wh-who are you?" she blinked.
"Uchiha Itachi." The voice was smooth and rich. Just as flat as Sasuke's.
Sasuke and this man bore a striking resemblance. Too much so for Sakura to much like this man. "Oh," she dead-panned. "Well," she bowed, "it was a pleasure meeting you, Itachi-san." Not! Without awaiting a response, she turned and began walking away.
"It's rude to ask for a name without giving your own," his voice carried through the night into the Haruno's ear.
She turned with her eyebrows raised. "Haruno Sakura," she replied.
The name dotted at Itachi's memory. Where had he heard this name? Flashes of Sasuke coming home with delight in his eyes raised across the Uchiha's mind.
--
"Why are you so happy?" Itachi looked up from the red book held in his hand. The words Come Come Paradice were written on the cover.
"Hn," Sasuke grunted as he flopped onto the chair, holding a bag of chips.
"A day with Sakura-san?" Mikoto smiled from the kitchen.
"Tch."
"Sakura?" Itachi stared at his sibling.
"Don't worry yourself about it, Itachi," Sasuke growled with his eyes.
Mikoto stepped into room, mixing something with a wooden spoon. "I believe her name's Haruno Sakura," she explained, oblivious to Sasuke's scowl. "She comes to the door every morning to pick Sasuke up for school." Her face clouded over with a blissful look. "She's such a delightful girl."
"Hn," Itachi returned to his book much to Sasuke's relief.
(Now why is Itachi reading this book?!)
--
"Well, it was a pleasure meeting you as well, Sakura-chan," Itachi stated. With a slight incline of his head, he disapated.
Sakura rolled her eyes. Uchihas! Is this where Sasuke gets it from?! Or could it be his father?! She had the misfortune of meeting the displeasing Fugaku one morning...
--
Sasuke answered the door on the first knock. Bright sunlight flooded into the dim house. Sakura stood before him, grinning and waving brightly. "Good morning, Sasuke-ku-"
"Sasuke, who is this?" a deep voice demanded.
Sakura suddenly noticed a man standing beside Sasuke. Beside each other, their differences popped out. But if they were separated, the contrasts seemed small. "Her name's Sakura," Sasuke sighed, running pale fingers through raven locks.
Fugaku stared at her with skeptisizing, squinting obsidian eyes. "Sakura, huh? Are you ditzy?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes.
Sakura blinked. "Um... no?"
"Do you get good grades in school?"
"Top of my classes," she grinned.
"Are you a virgin?"
"Excuse me?!"
"You heard the question. Your hesitation to reply is answer enough. Good day."
Sasuke was thrust out the door and it slammed behind him. The youngest Uchiha glared angrily at the closed door. "Stubborn old bastard," he spat. His eyes averted to Sakura; they widened when they saw tears streaming down her pale face.
"I am TOO a virgin!" she whined.
--
That night Haruno Sakura lay on her bed, staring up at the pink ceiling. She continuously thought about all the Uchihas. A frown plastered her face. She could't stand this! The reason she was mad at Sasuke was because he wouldn't apologize for calling her stupid! What a stupid argument! she realized. She sat up as the cold realization hit her heart.
"I'll apologize to him tommorow!" she declared cheerfully. Because I'M the bigger person.
--
Uchiha Sasuke - raven black hair, onix, cold, black eyes, pale skin, gorgeous in every possible way, has an innumerable amount of fan girls, arrogant, empty, expressionless, was it mentioned he was gorgeous? - asked "why are you staring at me like that?"
His older brother, Uchiha Itachi, had entered his room, placed himself on Sasuke desk chair, and seemed content to stare at Sasuke with smirking lips and taunting eyes. His elbows were propped onto the desk, his hands folded, and his chin resting on them. He lifted his head, his arms fell to his side when Sasuke spoke. "Was I?" he asked stoically
Sasuke lay on his bed with his arms folded behind his head and his knees in the air. He glared over at Itachi with burning eyes. "Get out."
"I met Sakura today," Itachi remarked - ignoring the demand.
Ears twitched at the name. Sasuke sat up. "Asshole. What did you say to her?!"
"That it was a pleasure meeting her," was his arrogant reply. "She's cute."
"You stay the Hell away from her!" Sasuke growled. "I swear to God if you lay one disgusting finger on her, I'll disown you forever."
"Tempting offer," Itachi's smirk returned. He stood himself and sauntered over to the doorway. Before exiting, he turned to wink at his brother. "I won't do anything to her. I promise."
The door slammed before Sasuke could bark out a response. He thought woefully about Sakura. She really did seem upset. Alight, I'll try to apologize again tommorow.
