Ok… first of all NYAH!! Sowwie!! I've been a busy little beaver lately; with school starting and me going in higher classes (oddly enough) it's been hell! And next… I need help!! I want to make this a happy ending but I can't find out how!!! HELP ME!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the Elfen Lied storyline… BUT I WANNA!!!! (Cries)
It was an eerily warm winter morning, the sun was bright and hardly any clouds were visible in the beautiful, blue morning sky… even though it was early, the streets were still packed with people. Although in a small, secluded area… the cherry blossoms were blooming beautifully and hardly anyone was there to witness its beauty.
The cherry blossom's fell eagerly from the tilted trees only to nestle into the grass below them… and then to be stomped on by a very rude and pissed off man. (Guess who?) It was Sasuke Uchiha and he was defiantly… having a bad day… or he just had a pole up his ass like usual Sasuke was not in the mood to be messed with right now, somehow… and someway… he seemed to have lost a bet and was now stuck on a 'date' even if he dreaded to call it that, with a pink haired freak.
-Flash Back-
"Hey Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screeched out to him from across the room
"What?" Sasuke spat out, venom dripping off his words
"Lets make a deal" Sakura said
"A deal? What do you mean?" Sasuke questioned
"Yeah, If you can beat me in chess… me and the other girls will leave you alone for the rest of the year" She offered
"Hn. Fine… but what if you win?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow
"You have to go on a date with me, just one date" Sakura smirked at the dark-haired boy
"Hn. Deal!" Sasuke happily agreed to the game, how could he lose?
-End of Flash-
How could I have won? Sasuke growled to himself Of course Sakura is the best chess player in all Konoha! Sasuke growled at himself again before a high scream that was unmistakably Sakura's sounded through his ears, breaking him out of his small trance
"Sasuke-kun!!!!" a high-pitched squeal rang through his ears… almost breaking his eardrums in the process
"Hn" Sasuke grunted
He turned around to see an overly eager girl prancing her way up to him, her emerald green eyes shone to him in delight, she wore a faded pink tank top that had the words 'Princess' in big, silver and curvy letters, a plaid denim skirt and knee-high baby pink ugg boots. She latched herself happily on to his arm and giggled continuously, Sasuke just groaned at the awful and squeaky noises that were emitting from her mouth.
"I'm so glad you came!" Sakura squealed, tightening her grip on his arm
Wait… why did he come…? Because an Uchiha never backs down!!!
"Hn… Whatever" Sasuke mumbled on his breath
"Where are we going to go Sasuke-kun?" She said, jumping up and down as each word left her lips
"I don't care," He stated
"Oh…" Sakura started to sound a little bit disappointed but brightened up "Lets just walk around"
He started to walk down the small street, with Sakura still clinging on to his arm like he was her only lifesaver. She babbled on and on about how her and Ino were fighting over something that Sasuke… or anyone besides her would want to know about. Sakura entwined her fingers in his, which he abruptly pulled away from with a snort, Sakura acted like it had never happened but seemed a bit uneasy after.
"Oh Sasuke-kun!" Sakura looked up at Sasuke and gave him adorable puppy dog eyes " Will you buy me an ice-cream?"
She used an overly whiney tone almost like she was a 4-year-old, if he said no she would've whined more so he agreed the first time "Yeah… Sure…" he said, very unenthusiastic tone about it
"Yay! I want strawberry…" She licked her lips as she said the word strawberry in a very seductive tone; Sasuke cringed at the pink haired girl
He approached the counter and bought her the ice cream, she squealed when he gave it to her. She latched herself on to his arm again but even tighter… if possible; she licked her ice cream loudly and noisily grabbing nearly everyone around hers attention. Sasuke finally freed his arm from Sakura's wrath, She pouted when his arm left her grip but continued to walk beside him.
They continued to walk around for another 15 minutes with Sakura pointing our random girl shops in which she bought things from, Sakura had even tried to drag Sasuke inside a shop with her… fortunately she failed to get him inside the store. Another five minutes was spent talking, or more like Sakura was rambling on about things while Sasuke grunted or nodded at her.
"Sasuke-kuuuun!" Sakura squealed, pulling Sasuke in a direction towards a seat "Lets get some luuuunch!" her voice echoed through the deserted streets
"Hn" Sasuke mumbled to her sitting down besides her, but off to an angle so he was facing away from her
"I brought onigiri!" Sakura said, rather loudly while she was busy pulling out onigiri and trying to shove them into Sasuke's clenched hands but Sasuke declined the offer of the meal
"No, Thank you" Sasuke managed to choke out the "Thank you" to her without snorting at her or making it sound sarcastic
"Aww Why…?" Sakura begged giving him the puppy dog eyes again
"I… Had a big breakfast…" Sasuke lied, but Sakura accepted it and slowly ate her onigiri in a sad way
He really didn't want to come… Sakura mumbled to herself, Sasuke gave her a strange look"Hm?" Sasuke muttered to her
"N-nothing…" she quickly covered up, terribly though But… I know you'll be head over heels for me by the time this date is done
'Yeah!' Inner Sakura agreed in delight with her
"—Now?" Sakura had finished a sentence, but Sakura was too busy spacing off to hear him
"Ah… S-sorry Sasuke-kun… what did you say…?" She asked nervously, Sasuke sighed angrily and started again
"I said… 'What do you want to do now?'" Sasuke growled, he hated to repeat himself
"Oh uh…" Sakura mumbled, looking around to find something romantic to do with Sasuke and then it hit her like a two-ton train hit a teeny tiny bug "how about we go for a walk on the beach Sasuke-kun?"
"Hn" Sasuke didn't want to but the quicker he got this date over the quicker he could go home… and… do… nothing… (How fun?)
Sasuke and Sakura stood up and -- of course it goes without saying but I will anyway…-- Sakura re-attached herself to Sasuke's arm and pulled him in the direction of the beach, Sasuke almost fell over when Sakura had pulled him down the slippery, sand covered stairs but he just let out a growl to show his utter discomfort… and of course Sakura had completely ignored it.
"Isn't it beautiful Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said in a dreamy tone
"Hn" Sasuke wouldn't admit but it did look rather beautiful… like and ending to a beautiful and romantic fairy tale… (Bleargh)
"Ne, Sasuke??" Sakura mumbled, she sounded rather uneasy all of a sudden
"What?" Sasuke grunted, not even bothering to look in the same direction as her
"That boy…" She pointed a trembling finger in the direction she was staring in "is… covered in blood…"
"What?!" Sasuke was sure Sakura had lost her mind and was hallucinating, but he wasn't sure what to think when his eyes land on a figure in standing in the water.
The boy looked rather worried and disorientated, he hadn't made any movements since Sakura had seen him… maybe he was asleep… Sasuke wriggled his arm free of Sakura's death trap and walked over to get a better look at the boy, with Sakura following him close behind… to say the least Sasuke was worried.
"Sasuke-kun… go and see if he's ok…" Sakura whimpered, sticking her lips into a pout
"Fine…" Sasuke took off his sandals and walked into the water until he finally reached the tanned boy
"Oi!" Sasuke grabbed his shoulder and shook him slightly, the movement and touch startled blonde and had caused him to fall backwards into the shallow water below him
Sasuke reached forward to offer a hand to him… but it ending up running across the scars on his cheeks and to the left horn petruding from his head, Naruto scrunched his eyes as he felt the hand come in contact with his horn… Sasuke's right hand grabbed a hold of the other horn as well he stared in awe at the two horns… they were defiantly unusual…
Sasuke soon regained his posture "Here" Sasuke casually offered his hand, Naruto stared at it unable to understand what he meant by it
"Jeez…" Sasuke grabbed his hand and hoisted him up; Naruto abruptly pulled his hand back
"What's your name?" Sasuke eyed the man's wounds on his head and the blood stains on his torso
"Never mind…" Sasuke rudely grabbed his elbow and pulled him on to the shore
"Ah! We have to treat his wounds fast!" Sakura said, rushing up to the two and examining the blonde-haired boy
"A-ah… horns?" Sakura reached forward and tapped one of his horns with her nail
"Ahh! They're real no way!!" Sakura screamed, Naruto covered his ears on reaction to the loud noise
"Where's your house?" Sakura eagerly asked, still looking over all the injuries on the boy
"Why?" Sasuke asked, folding his arms over his chest
"Well, it's obviously closer than my house and we you'll probably have more bandages to help him" She said pointing to the shivering boy
"Fine!" Sasuke was pissed off again, could his day get any worse? (Sorry, not in this fanfic… try the one next door... just kidding... of course it can :3)
Sasuke began trudging off with a nervous Sakura and confused diclonius behind him; he wouldn't even stop to see how far they were behind him… not like he cared.
"Ne Sasuke…" Sakura spoke up holding the diclonius' elbow and dragging him with her
"What?" Sasuke spat at her
"U-ummm… I was wondering… well… if we took him to the hospital… what would they say?" Sakura mumbled
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked
"Well… im sure horns are normal… do you think they would…" Sakura gulped audibly "…Kill him?"
Sasuke inwardly gasped, "Of course they wouldn't!" He growled "B-but… just to be safe… we wont take him there…"
Sasuke mentally slapped himself, one: for not thinking it over first and two: for stuttering
Sakura nodded and walked back behind Sasuke with the blonde, they were getting strange looks and whispers from passers-by's. Some kid's were gawking at them and then being scolded by their elders to not stare, Naruto clenched his hands and left Sakura's side. Naruto latched on to Sasuke back, wrapping his arms around his chest and burying the side of his face into Sasuke's shirt.
"W-what the--!" Sasuke turned around to see the diclonius hugging him out of fright
"What are you doing?!" Sasuke abruptly pushed him off himself and glared at Naruto
Naruto gave him the puppy dog eyes… strangely it worked on Sasuke unlike when Sakura did it too him
"Lets just go!" Sasuke growled before walking off
"Don't worry he just gets angry sometimes…" Sakura said planting a hand on Naruto's shoulder
Naruto stared at her hand on his shoulder before walking away from Sakura
"Urgh, Men!"
Sakura caught up to Sasuke and (of course) latched herself on to his arm and started jabbering into his ear about random subjects… soon she would run out of things to say and start repeating herself… eventually…
Naruto shuffled behind them not knowing whether to follow them or not… He looked over to the side to see people staring or gawking at him, he stopped moving and clutched his horns trying to hide them. Sakura stopped and pulled Sasuke to a halt as well, she saw that Naruto had stopped and was looking very uncomfortable.
"Here" Sakura left Sasuke's side (Yay) and hooked her arm around Naruto's (Boo) and pulled him along with her, to catch up to Sasuke…
Not too much later they arrived at the Uchiha residence, Sasuke agreed to watch over the diclonius while Sakura went to find the bandages and other things to treat his wounds. Sasuke just sat on the chair while the blonde was quite happy just too stare at him as he sat on the floor.
"So… What your name…?" Sasuke hesitantly asked, trying to avoid eye contact
Naruto opened his mouth to speak loudly but all was heard was a small whisper "Naru…"
"Naru…?" Sasuke repeated, Naruto shook his head and spoke again
"Naru…to…"
"Naruto?" Sasuke asked, Naruto nodded vigorously
"Ok… Naruto… why do you have horns on your head?" Sasuke questioned, Naruto's cheery smile faltered and he lowered his head
Naruto shook his head in disagreement… he wouldn't answer the question
"Im Back!" Sakura boomed entering the depressing room
"Uhh… Did I miss something?" Sakura asked, Sasuke shook his head
"No… Just treat him…" and get the hell out of my house… Sasuke added mentally
"R-right…" Sakura agreed sitting down beside Naruto and extended his arm to get a clear view of his arm wounds
"Okay, now this might sting…" Sakura mumbled, dabbing some antiseptic on to a cotton ball
Naruto stayed silent until Sakura softly dabbed the antiseptic on to an open wound on his arm, He sucked in his air harshly and winced as she continued to dab the wound. Sakura grabbed the bandages that were off to the side and wrapped them carefully around the wound; she tightened the bandages in a small knot and cut off the excess bandage. She looked over his body again and her eyes locked on to the wound on his forehead, she brushed his wet bangs out of the way to examine the wound better.
"It may need butterfly stitches…" Sakura spoke to no one in particular
Sakura grabbed out a few butterfly stitches and secured them over his head-wound, she wiped away the excess blood around the stitches and wrapped bandages around it. She placed a few band-aids over the puncture holes over his bruised skin; she mentally congratulated herself on her work.
"Okay… Im done!" Sakura said, placing her hands on her hips with a grin
"Good now two you can leave!" Sasuke said, beginning to push the two out of his house
"B-but… my mom wouldn't let me take a boy to my house!!" Sasuke cried
"What?! I'm not looking after him!" Sasuke growled, pointing over at Naruto
"Please!" Sakura begged, clasping her hands together and using the puppy dog eyes (yet again)
"Grrrr… N--" Sasuke growled but sighed, Sakura would never leave him alone about it for "—Fine… but not for long!"
"Thank you Sasuke!" Sakura beamed and charged off down the road
"Why is she so worried over… you…?" Sasuke looked over at Naruto who was just staring at him innocently
"… God hates me…"
Ok… a shitty way to end a shitty and overly long and slow-updated chapter… man I suck… PLEASE R&R
Love,
Sweet Tragedies
