--Naruto POV--
Morning light began to fill my vision, as my eyes slowly cracked open, the blinding flood sending my head spinning.
So I lay there, squinting, and dreading the very thought of moving from my most comfortable position.
Finally, building enough will to move, I slowly pulled myself up, sheets pooling at my waist.
Grumbling, I groggily shuffled towards the small connecting bathroom: intentionally slamming the door on my way in.
No, I was not in a very good mood today, the aftermath of my little revolution finally taking its toll on my mental health.
I was tired, from thinking, I swear, sometimes I think it can be unhealthy.
It seemed that I was standing there forever, my forehead pressed up against the cool mirror, blank blue eyes staring back at me.
Finally, knowing I had things to do, I detached myself from the cold mirror, and started to brush out my hair, not really paying attention to what I was doing.
After brushing my teeth and taking a shower, I started digging through my drawers, "No, no, no, …no, no, no," I mumbled as I sorted through my cloths, nothing seemed appropriate for my mood.
All these bright colors…I must own something that could even be considered a dark shade. I finally picked out some loose black cargo pants that reached about mid-ankle, a black sleeveless turtleneck, and some black fingerless gloves, just for fun.
I never really liked black that much; Orange will always be way cooler, I'm just not in the mood for its awesome-ness today.
I can't be totally awesome all the time; a guy can only handle so much!
Waltzing into the kitchen, I contemplated on my meal, walking over to the fridge, nothing there, walking to the cupboards, nope, walking to the fridge, nope, walking to the drawers, nope, walking to the fridge, nope, walking to the freezer, nope, walking to the fridge, nope…I sighed. There was nothing!
I decided to have breakfast at Ichiraku (1),since it seemed I was all out of ramen.
Strolling down the street, my sandals clapping against the concrete, warm air enveloping me, it was a nice day…
--OC POV--
I watched him, silently between a small alley, groceries still in my hand.
He was kind of…pretty? Silky windswept blonde hair, angular, almost feline-like azure eyes, golden tan skin…
I frowned as I found my eyes completely glued to him, every move he made, my eyes fallowed.
As he passed beyond my vision, and my eyes could fallow him no more, I scrambled out of the alley and scanned the crowd, searching for the blonde haired angel.
No luck.
Weighed down by my groceries, I realized I better get home fast, things were already starting to melt.
As I neared my house a loud screech broke the silence of the quiet surroundings, "Tsukiya!" (2)
I cringed, my ears still pounding. As hands gripped my shoulders, I twisted around and choked out a small "Hey Lei!!" Lei smiled and asked me about my day.
"Great so far, but I need to hurry up and put these groceries away, 'kay?" Lei agreed grudgingly and told me to hurry up and meet at her house.
I nodded silently and proceeded on my way, I grumbled as I fumbled for my keys, while trying to hold on to my bags as well.
Finally, I entered my quiet house, setting my things on the marble counter, I put the things like milk and frozen foods away first, so they wouldn't warm or melt.
Of course not bothering with putting everything else away, I plopped on the couch, forgetting about Lei and the angel I had seen today…all that mattered was napping.
"…"
"…"
"…"
KNOCK KNOCK………KNOCK KNOCK………KNOCK KNOCK………KOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNO- "OKAY! JUST STOP IT ALREADY!!"I screamed at the door, anger splattered all over my face, like someone had just flung a tomato at me.
I yanked the door open as aggressively as I could manage, to show my rage, but…
"TSUUUUKIIIIIIIIII" Lei whined, and my face fell as I realized I was supposed to be at her house right now.
My anger instantly melted away at the sight of my bubbly friend's peeved face.
"I-I'm sorry Lei fell asleep, I'm sorry!" I apologized, she only laughed and grinned, "Don't worry it's fine! C'mon lets go have breakfast!"
She yelled, and I frowned, checking the time. It was still only 9:03pm…it felt later than it was, oh well.
"But…I just bought, like, 50 groceries! Why don't we just have breakfast here?" I suggested. Lei laughed, "Food is always better out!"
She blurted.
I frowned; my eyebrows creased "Uh…actually I think food always better Homemade!" I said proudly.
She only grumbled, and pulled at my arm. I sigh and yanked my arm her grasp so I could lock the door, stuffing the little steel key in my dress pocket.
As I turned to Lei, her back was turned, mahogany colored hair cascading down to the middle of her back, I heard a sniffle.
Curious, I tapped her shoulder and asked if she was okay, and she twisted around, bawling like a baby.
I stepped back. "Wha-" I spluttered, finally Lei lifted her head to look at me "I just saw Sasuke…! I-I tried to-sniffle-smile at him and w-wave, but he on-sniffle-ly glared at me-sniffle-WAAAAH!!" I stared at her, unconsciously my nose wrinkled and I must have looked like I smelled something foul.
I casually walked past her; it was okay, it happened every time she saw Sasuke. She had this weird obsession with him, but it wasn't that weird, I mean, almost every girl on Konoha had an obsession with the Uchiha boy. Of course, I'm not saying I don't, I mean, I have to admit he is very suave and cool, plus handsome. (3)
I vocally sighed; still, he always shoots these evil glares at Lei, and me. Even when I don't even say anything.
I hear Lei fallowing behind me, she has a REALLY short attention span, I mean she could probably have the love of her life say they hate her, and after five seconds of bawling and trying to knock on my door, she would wonder what's on T.V. and lay on the couch and eat popcorn.
I absently wondered what Sasuke was doing all the way out here, the Uchiha Compound was all the way on the other side of Konoha.
I kept on walking, Lei still not completely caught up, I turned and merged on to a bustling road, crammed full of talk and laughter, people flooding in and out from every direction.
My heart froze as we passed a small Ramen Stand, of which the name I do not know, to see a familiar boy with blonde windswept hair…
--Sakura POV--
I strolled down the street, my sandals clapping heavily against the paved road. Today was absolutely wonderful! My dreams had finally come true; Sasuke and I
are officially an item! (1)
But at the back of my head, pictures of Naruto's face from last night kept flashing on and off. He really did look hurt…Oh please, what am I thinking!
That idiot should have known! I mean, How much clearer could I have made it that I didn't like him!? That…that Sasuke was the one I liked.
Out of nowhere, a flash of yellow flew past my face, and before I knew it, Ino was standing in front of me.
"Hey forehead girl!" Ino said casually, "Hey Ino-pig." I replied, trying my best to sound disdainful.
But in all truth, I had not seen her around in a while, and it was nice to see her again.
"Hey Ino-pig… guess what I did last night?" I said deviously, and Ino looked at me suspiciously.
"What…what did you do?" Ino asked, like I was a child who had done something extremely stupid, and I smiled.
"… I kissed Sasuke, and he kissed back." I said slowly, so she could suffer at every syllable.
But Ino only looked at me, face blank, she looked down at the ground, face red as a tomato.
"It doesn't matter anymore." She mumbled
I stared open-mouthed at her, "What!?" I exclaimed.
And she raised her head, now wearing a defiant but determined face.
"I-I like someone else now, you can have Sasuke! He's too emo for me anyway." Ino stated, she said the last bit under her breath.
"Whaaat?" I gargled, "Who! Who do you like?" I spurted, this could not be happening, what happened to all the gloating and "Neener-neener"-ing (2) I was supposed to do?
Ino started to blush again, "I like…umm, I LIKE NARUTO!!!" Ino screamed, all embarrassment and coyness gone, revealing a bright grin on her face.
She waited for my answer, but I could only make one of those fishy-faces, as I was completely dumbfounded…
----------------------------------
Hmmmm? You like? Yes? No, Maybe So? Well I am sorry I have not been updating, I kinda got on restriction…
(1)Is that what that ramen bar place is called?
(2)Yes, I changed her name to Tsukiya, my friends all kept bugging me about how lame-O Madori sounded, I still like it better…-shrug-
(3)Hey, don't get me wrong, I HATE Sasuke, but I had to be reasonable, I mean, every girl in Konoha has admitted that Sasuke was cute/and or attractive at some point in time.
(4)Ugh, it made me absolutely sick to write that. Trust me, doing this is hurting me more than it is you. I absolutely HATE Sakura and Sasuke together, I despise it so deeply, I want to explode. But in order for this to work, I have to do it.
(5)Umm, yah, there is NO SUCH THING as "Neener-neener"-ing…heh, I just made it up
