Can Hardly Wait
After school, Gasha was walking home carrying her books. She spotted Shino leaning against a wall. She smiled. "Oi Shino-kun," she closed her eyes as she greeted him.
He nodded and started walking with her. "Here let me," he said in an almost demanding tone.
Gasha was still smiling as she handed her books to Shino. "Arigato," she thanked him.
He nodded. They walked in silence till they got to her house. She looked at him and bowed her head. "Thanks a lot."
He nodded again and handed her her books. "Sure."
She waved then walked up to the code box, opening the huge gate that surrounded her mansion. "See you tomorrow Shino-kun!"
The whole time a pair of piercing beautiful blue-green eyes was watching them.
"I'm home!" Sakura shouted as she walked into her house. She smiled as she kicked off her shoes and dropped her backpack. "Kaasan, you here!"
"In the kitchen!"
Sakura ran into the kitchen. "Happy birthday," she greeted as she gave her mother a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks dear, how was your day?" her mother looked at with the same emerald eyes as her own.
"Okay I guess…Naruto got into a fight again," Sakura complained.
"Well I'm glad you're friends again after all those years of not being…it's been awhile since I've seen any of them," Mrs. Haruno claimed.
Sakura sat down on a stole. "We went our different ways, you know?"
Her mother nodded. "I was a teenager once myself, I know what you mean."
Sakura giggled. "Yeah…but you and your best friend didn't separate because you were rivals in love did you?" she asked.
"Uh…no…but we did fight a few times in our senior year," her mother commented.
Sakura nodded. "Gash and I haven't yet…but I've been in tons of fights with other girls," she stated.
"Cause of that Uchiha boy?" Mrs. H questioned.
Sakura nodded and put her hands on her chin leaning into the counter. Her mother was her best friend at times so she could tell her anything including stuff about Sasuke…that weren't personal. 'I wonder if Sasuke-kun ever had anyone like my mom?' She smiled and got up to hug her mother. "Thanks…I needed you." She turned around and handed up to her room, running up the stairs. 'I should be thankful…I have parents…poor Sasuke-kun lost his when he was only eight along with his whole clan.' She walked into her room and collapsed onto her bed sighing.
Sabaki no Gaara slammedAburame Shino into the wall, holding him up by the collar. Shino looked down at the redhead. "Got a problem?"
Gaara glared at the teen before him. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Right now I'm being pinned against the wall," Shino stated being a smart-ass.
Gaara pushed him further. "You know what I mean."
Shino shoved Gaara's hand from his collar, Gaara let go and Shino stepped onto the ground. "Walking her home."
"It wasn't wise," Gaara replied coldly.
Shino had no sign of fear from Gaara's threats. "And I care?"
"Pissing me off isn't wise either," Gaara warned putting his hand around Shino's neck.
Shino growled. "What do you suggest I do?" he questioned dryly.
"Not to do it again," Gaara claimed he pulled his hand back, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I'm not scared of you…I can do whatever I please with her," Shino remarked.
Gaara had the same expression on his face. "Do it…and see what happens," he suggested turning around and walking away.
Shino rubbed his neck and turned toward his house. 'Shit…him too.'
Ino got out of her car and walked into her house after unlocking her door. She shut it behind her and slipped off her shoes. She ran up the stairs not bothering looking at the pictures as she went up. 'I got to put those away tomorrow.' She told herself that everyday but it never happened. She opened the door to her room and stepped in. She sighed and sat on her bed pulling out her math book and setting it on the desk. She looked out the window. The house next to hers was the Nara household; she shook her head and laid on her bed.
Why was it she never talked to Sasuke? But Haruno always did, she just didn't understand, some people (namely her parents) told her she was wasting her time. She just couldn't give up; she refused to give up to Sakura.
FlashbackA ten-year-old Ino and a ten-year-old Sakura were sitting on swings at a park. Sakura was quieter than usual and that was making Ino think. Ino looked at her friend and smiled. "Something wrong Sakura?"
Sakura looked at her fingers. "You still like Sasuke-kun, don't you Ino-chan?" she questioned.
Ino looked at her with confusion. "Hai," she answered nodding.
Sakura looked at her and stood up. "Then from now on…we're rivals," she stated, she turned on her heel. "You like Sasuke-kun and I like Sasuke-kun, I will win him and I don't want you in my way!" The girl ran off. "I won't lose to you!"
Ino stood up watching Sakura with wide eyes. 'Rivals in love.' She balled her fists. "And I won't lose to you…big-forehead," she muttered to herself as the wind blew. She looked at the sight of pink running away.
End of flashback
Ino glared at her ceiling. "And I still won't lose…you're going down Haruno Sakura."
She closed her eyes, trying to calm down the rage building up inside her as she thought of Sakura winning the heart of Uchiha Sasuke. No…she wasn't going to let that happen. She grabbed her water bottle and chucked it at the wall, making a small thud. "Damn you, Sakura…I refuse to lose to you."
Naruto walked into his house and slammed the door. He growled as he dropped his bag.
"Bad day Naruto?" Iruka asked.
Naruto jumped onto the couch and turned on the TV. "What gave you that hint?"
Iruka leaned against the chair. "Well first off…you slammed my door. Second after a fight you usually come in here all pissed off and jump down on my couch and turn on the turn on the TV to MTV when you don't even watch it, your fumes settle down as you daydream about who knows what," Iruka informed.
Naruto rolled his blue eyes. 'How does he remember that?'
"Because you do it often," Iruka claimed.
Naruto looked at him in shocked. "How…"
"I know you too well Naruto," Iruka stated sitting in the chair. "So who was it this time?"
"I thought you knew me too well," Naruto said rolling his eyes once more.
"Giving me attitude, eh? Hm, must have been Inuzuka Kiba again? Why did you do it this time?" Iruka asked in curiosity.
Naruto's eyes twitched. 'How the hell does he do that?'
Iruka smiled. "Well why did you two fight this time? A girl perhaps? A grape?" he questioned smiling.
"How did you know?" Naruto asked looking at him.
Iruka's eyes widened in shock. "Are you damn serious? It was over a stupid grape? I thought you would have wised up a bit!" he replied in disbelief.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Oh you were kidding," he chuckled.
Iruka grabbed his head as if it were in pain. "Naruto, Naruto, why the hell would you do that? I bet he didn't even throw it, did he?"
"No he did! No he did I tell you! He threw the damn grape!" Naruto shouted balling his fist and waving them about in the air.
Iruka shook his head. "Let me guess…it was interrupted too."
Naruto crossed his arms over his chest. "Yeah but I bet you can't guess how."
Iruka rubbed his temples. "Let's see…you sound jealous." He looked at Naruto smirking; he stood up and pointed at the blonde. "Uchiha Sasuke! Wasn't it! Am I right?" he smirked covering his face knowing he was right.
Naruto shook his head. "How the fuck do you do that Iruka-sensei?" he questioned.
"I told you I knew you too well," Iruka boasted.
Naruto cursed mentally to himself. 'This guy gets on my nerves when he does that.'
Iruka gave Naruto the peace sign, grinning like an eight-year-old (cough Naruto cough) that won a soccer game. "Cheer up Naruto, at least you weren't kicked out of school," Iruka replied.
Naruto shook his head. 'Like I would have cared anyway.'
"You would in your future, Naruto," Iruka claimed smiling.
Naruto cursed himself again. 'If he does that again…I'm going to be freaked out beyond belief.'
Uchiha Sasuke walked into the Uchiha mansion heading straight to his room to change after a cold shower. He shook his head and stepped into his room dropping his bag by the bed. He walked into his bathroom and stripped off his clothes after he turned on the water. He stepped in. After his shower he would go outside and train.
That's it for chapter six! So…how did I do? I'm sorry that it's short. Trust me though later on they get LONGER.
