Okay here's chapter 3! Hope you like! Thanks to everyone who reviewed in the last 2 chapies!!
I'd been stomping away for a few minutes now at a quick pace. Stupid Sasuke and his stupid clan and…I couldn't think about him anymore! Just to make matters worse, along came Naruto.
"Hey Sakura! Why aren't you over with Sasuke?"
"Sasuke who?" I marched by him.
"You seem mad. Do you...wanna…I don't know…talk?" He asked.
I stopped; maybe that wasn't such a bad idea. Besides, Naruto was lonely and I really needed a distraction.
"Fine."
He jumped up and down, "YAY! Come on, follow me!"
I followed Naruto to a clearer part in the woods where it looked like he had been climbing trees. He plopped down on the ground.
"So, tell me what happened."
I was hesitant but decided to join him on the ground, "Sasuke happened." I grumbled.
"You know what Sakura? I don't think he's right for you. He just wants to use you to recreate his clan."
"I know." I folded my arms.
"So you know? Then why do you chase after him like he's a god or something?!"
"I don't anymore."
Naruto scratched his head. A clear sign that he was confused.
"I just found out he was lying! He messed up his cover and blew it and…ugh!" I buried my face in my hands.
"Ah. Well I knew you'd figure it out. You're so smart Sakura!"
I moaned.
"Don't worry." He put his hand on my shoulder, "Just forget all about Sasuke."
I growled and Naruto knew enough to remove his hand. Then, my stomach gurgled. I didn't have much for breakfast that morning.
"Oh! Are you hungry? Cuz I got food!" Naruto reached over for his bag and pulled out a piece of chocolate. He handed it to me.
"I brought that just for you." His cheeks went pink.
Aww…how sweet! But it was Naruto so…I wasn't dropping my guard that easily.
"No thanks, I'm fine." I offered it back to him.
"Are you sure?"
I nodded.
"Okay!" He grabbed it from me and shoved it in his mouth, "Yum!"
I rolled my eyes, typical Naruto.
"Good?" I asked.
"MmmHmmm!"
"I'm glad." Of course I said this with plenty of sarcasm unlike somebody…
Naruto swallowed, "Well, you said you didn't want it so I couldn't let it go to waste!"
I shook my head, "New subject."
"Alright. Um…." Naruto looked all around, pondering something to talk about. There was a crunch and a bush moved. Naruto whipped around and lunged at the bush, "ARGHHH!"
"What the…" I just watched as he struggled behind the bush.
"Come here you little…OW! You BIT ME!!!" He yelled.
2 or 3 minutes later he emerged with a cute little grey bunny.
"Awww! It's so cute!"
Naruto walked over to me and set the bunny in my lap, "Well, looks can be deceiving! He's dangerous I tell you!"
The bunny looked up at me with big eyes. He was so adorable! How could someone call this dangerous? Well, Naruto could, but that was beside the point.
Naruto sat next to me and patted the bunny's head, "Who am I kidding? This guy isn't dangerous. He's cute! And soft! And cuddly!"
He scooped him out of my lap and cuddled him, "I'm sorry I called you dangerous Mr. Bunny!"
The bunny bit his ear, I laughed.
"OUCH!" Naruto shouted, "You stupid bunny! I'm gonna get you for that!"
The bunny made his escape and hopped behind the bush.
Naruto turned back to me and rubbed his head. He smiled big.
"Sorry about that."
"I'm happy Mr. Bunny got his revenge." I laughed.
"Yeah well, I was gonna show that rabbit a thing or two."
"I'm sure you were." I stood up and brushed myself off.
"Hey you wanna have a tree climbing contest?" Wow, Naruto didn't have much of an attention span.
I shrugged, "Sure. Can I borrow a kunai?"
"Oh." Naruto dug in his pocket and handed me a kunai knife, "Here."
"Thanks. So who ever gets the highest first wins?"
"Yup!"
I got in a starting stance, "Okay. Ready, set, go!"
I ran full force at the tree in front of me and concentrated the chakra in my feet. I started running up the tree and looked over at Naruto. I was about a couple feet ahead of him. I kept running and running until I was basically at the top of the tree. I walked out onto a branch and saw a small yellow dot.
"Sakura!? Where'd you go?!"
"Up here!" I yelled back and cut a mark on the main branch of where I was.
"WHAT!? HOW'D YOU GET WAY UP THERE!?!"
I laughed, "Skill!"
I started my decent and in no time was back on the ground next to a fuming Naruto.
"I win!"
"Beginner's luck. " He muttered.
"Oh stop being a sore loser Naruto! You just need some more practice."
He stuck up his nose.
"I bet you could beat Sasuke."
He perked up, "Really? Awesome!"
I handed the kunai back to Naruto but, my mistake, handed it point first and it cut his finger.
"Ow!" He dropped the knife and looked at his finger, "Hey! Why'd you do that!?"
"Oh I'm sorry Naruto! Here, lemme look at it."
He sat down on the grass and I kneeled next to him, examining his finger. The cut wasn't that deep, but it was deep enough to bleed. I decided to warp it so it wouldn't get infected because, well, you know Naruto…
"Do you have any bandages?" I asked him.
"Of course not! Why would I carry around a bunch of bandages with me? That's just like saying you can't go on with a stupid little cut!" He said.
"Well, do you have any scrap pieces of cloth?"
Naruto shook his head.
"Are you sure? Is there something you brought you wrapped in cloth?"
He thought for a moment, "My ramen. I wrapped that up so it wouldn't get cold."
"Great, get that out for me."
"Sheesh, so bossy."
I rolled my eyes. Naruto removed his lunch from his bag and handed it to me. I tore off a piece of the cloth it was wrapped in and tied it around Naruto's finger.
"There." I gave it a pat, "That should be fine for the rest of the day."
"Thanks." Naruto said quietly.
We sat in silence as he looked at his finger.
"Sakura, I- Well, you have pretty eyes."
I smiled; it was kind of cute when he was nice.
"And I-err...I-I like you!" He reached over and kissed me on the cheek. Okay, he had gone too far! My eye started to twitch, what was with this love thing today!?
Naruto turned red, "Sorry I couldn't help-."
"NARUTO!"
"EEP!" He shrunk away.
"You have crossed the line!" I stood up, "I was trying, trying to be nice to you! But noooo! You had to go and push it! Well that was the last straw, Naruto!" I began to stomp away just like I had with Sasuke. But then I spun around, "And another thing you failed to consider: I was just totally crushed by Sasuke. What, did you think you could get me off the rebound?!"
"Well actually…" He murmured but I cut him off.
"DON'T answer that question!"
I turned back to the way I was walking and started off.
"Sakura?" Someone was calling my name.
"Ugh! What do you want now!?!" I roared at the sky.
Ha I personally like the bunny part the most. So there you have it. Naruto had his shot and…well…blew it like usual. R&R please!
