Chappie 2! Here it is. Thanx if you reviewed. It makes me happy. An dif u haven't yet…R&R!! plz
"Come on Sakura!" I was being yanked back and forth between Sasuke and Naruto. I had to choose one. I think it's pretty obvious who though. I wiggled out of Naruto's grip and ran off with Sasuke.
"Sorry Naruto!!" I yelled back. Actually I really was sorry, leaving him all alone and running off with the "show-off" kid.
Naruto growled in frustration, "SASUKE!!!"
"What a loser." Sasuke said as we bolted through the trees. Oh, my heart melted.
We dashed through the woods swiftly and quietly. My head was spinning, trying to grasp what had just happened 5 minutes ago back there. Sasuke turned his head back to look at me.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Uh, yeah." I managed to say.
He chuckled, "Good."
Finally we arrived to where we were going. I have to say, Sasuke has an excellent sense of direction and navigation. We were still in the woods but it wasn't so thick with tress and bushes compared to where we left Naruto and Kakashi. There was a large stone in between the last few trees before a clearing. The clearing was actually a river. No there weren't any huge white rapids ready to devour some one; it was a calm, sparkly, and beautiful blue colored river.
"Wow." I could hardly breathe.
"Like it?" Sasuke asked.
All I could do was nod.
"That's what I was aiming for." He smiled. If I wasn't mistaken, today was the first day I'd seen Sasuke smile; like, actually genuinely smile.
He ushered for me to sit on the rock and I gladly took my seat. He then proceeded to show off as Naruto would say. He quickly ran up a tree and hung from an out stretched branch upside down.
"So, how's life?"
"Ah, just the usual." I responded.
"Hn." He walked along the underneath of the branch; I guess it was pacing only upside down. Creative! "How are things between you and Ino? Last time I knew you guys had cooled down a bit and were friends."
"Still friends." I smiled, then paused, "Well, for now."
He laughed. I actually pinched my hand to see if this was a really good dream. My conclusion; it wasn't!
Sasuke then flipped back over so he was standing on the top of the branch. He jumped once and about 15 leaves detached from the tree and began to flutter towards the ground. Sasuke reached into his pocket and removed the shurinken Naruto and I had seen earlier. And in a flash, Sasuke flung the shurinken at the leaves; they landed on the ground with a thud, each shurinken pinning down a green leaf.
"Neat trick!" I praised him.
He leapt off the tree onto the ground, "Thanks." He sauntered over to the rock and sat down next to me. We looked at each other for a while, it seemed like forever to me. Then Sasuke bent over and grabbed a smooth stone. He twirled it around in his hand for a minute. He studied it, and then tossed it into the river. It skipped across the water a couple times before it sunk to the bottom. Sasuke turned to me again.
"I always wanted to do that." I said, "Skip a rock I mean. No matter how smooth it is or how straight I throw it, it never skips."
He chuckled, "C'mon. I'll show you."
He took my hand and walked my over to the edge of the river. He picked up a stone similar to the one he threw before and placed it in my hand. He grabbed my shoulders and positioned me. Sasuke walked around and stood behind me, holding my hand in his, swinging it back and forth in the tossing motion. He was close to me; real close. So close, I could feel his breath on the back of my neck. I relaxed.
"When I say 3, let go." He whispered in my ear.
I nodded.
"1-2-3!"
I let go of the rock and it bounced on top of the water 4 times before it splashed to the bottom.
"Great." Sasuke whispered.
I giggled. Sasuke spun me around to face him. He stared into my eyes and brushed back a piece of my hair from my forehead.
"You have beautiful green eyes, Sakura."
I blushed, "You too."
He smiled and I realized what I'd just said.
"I mean…well…"
He placed a hand on my shoulder, "I get it."
We walked back over to the stone and sat. I accidentally put my hand on his. I immediately pulled it back.
"Sorry!"
He grabbed it and held it in his hand, "Don't worry, it's fine."
Sasuke drew little designs on my hand.
"You know, Sakura, I've been thinking. And well, I've come to the conclusion that…"
Yes! Yes! Yes! I knew what he was going to say!
"I like you. Like you, like you. In the 'more than friends' way."
He was having a hard time admitting this. It seemed like it was uncomfortable. Finally I took my eyes off our hands and, before I knew it, Sasuke had put his hand behind my neck and was pulling me towards him. Yeah! The moment I've been waiting for practically my whole life had come! We got closer and closer until finally we collided. His lips on mine; they were cool and soft. And just like that, it was over. I tried to collect my thoughts.
"Um, Sasuke, why all of this now? All of a sudden? It seems so, spontaneous."
"I just recently uncovered my feelings; that's all." He reassured me.
"Really?"
"No, I'm just using you to reproduce my clan." There was barely a drop of sarcasm in his voice. That was something that was supposed to be sarcastic, or at least covered by sarcasm. Something else was going on here. I wasn't stupid. He screwed up.
"That wasn't sarcastic." I confronted him.
"Yes it was."
"You didn't say it that way."
"Oh, well, I meant to…" He was starting to sweat now.
"When you say something sarcastic your voice is oozing with sarcasm. This was so dry, so serious."
"Well, I…uh…" Boy, I hit the nail right on the head.
"You were going to use me!" I snatched my hand away.
"No! No I wasn't! I-."
I stood up and started to walk away.
"No! Sakura, I love you!"
I turned back to him, "Liar!"
I could see it in his eyes, he was definitely lying now. They were glistening with lies.
"But why me?! Why not choose some other girl who's obsessed with you?!"
"Because you're the least annoying out of the rest and-."
"The least annoying!?! The least annoying." I was furious, "I can't believe you Sasuke!" I turned on my heel and began marching away again, "You selfish, inconsiderate, UGH!"
"Sakura! Please!" Sasuke begged.
I just shook my head and kept walking, a tear rolled down my cheek. They were empty words, just empty words.
Welll there it is. R&R Next up is Naruto's turn. Yay. Lemme tell u, theres gonna be a bunny and chocolate! Its Easter all over again! Lol til next time.
