No Tears Will Fall
What's The Deal With Sasuke?
On the bus…….
Mina boarded the bus and headed straight for the back, but was forced to pass the cheerleaders first.
'Perfect,' she thought. 'I hate these cheerleader whores, they're always so happy, so preppy, it's annoying.'
Before she could successfully get to the back, the pink-haired girl stood up in her way.
"Hi! My name is Sakura Haruno, and you are………….?" Sakura let the question trail.
"Highly annoyed, but my name is Mina Ito. Now, excuse me." Mina tried to side-step Sakura but Sakura stepped into her path and blocked her way.
"Look new girl, here's the deal—," Sakura's words were cut short by the girl with the long blonde hair.
"Hey, billboard brow! Leave her alone, I'm sure she has no time for your antics. And the rest of us don't wanna suffer through them," she said.
"Shut up, Ino, you slut!" Sakura said, looking annoyed.
"Get a new line, forehead girl," said the beautiful blonde.
"Kiss my ass, Temari," Sakura said, turning to face her.
"Hey, new girl, what's your name?" the beautiful blonde asked.
"Okay, everyone," Mina started. "Listen up and good, cause I'm only sayin this once:" the bus quieted at the sound of her voice. "My name is Mina, not 'new girl', 'new kid', 'hey kid' or anything like that. Mina: think it, learn it, remember it, call me it, cause I can be a bitch. I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia, that's the United States of America. Tell all your friends cause I'm punching the next kid who calls me outta my name, understand?" Mina stopped pointedly, dead silence was her answer, and a couple of scared looks. "Good. Now…….EXCUSE me." With these final words she pushed past Sakura and sat in the last seat on the bus. After she was seated, the noise slowly returned.
"Sasuke-kun!" Sakura yelled, excited.
"What do you want Sakura?" the mystery boy asked, annoyed. He was trying to reach Mina, this one was just the way he liked: mean, serious and cold as ice. Just like himself.
'I guess his name is Sasuke. What tha dealie, yo? I mean, this dude is a complete jackass and these girls are all ova him. I mean on him like white on rice on a paper plate and a glass of milk in a snowstorm. It's crazy! What's up wit dis dude?' A million thoughts were running through her head. A voice alerted all her five senses.
"My name's Gaara," said a phantom voice. She turned toward the direction of the voice and saw it was the emo-looking kid. It wasn't until she saw him that she realized he was even in the seat across from hers.
"I'm Mina, you should know that though," Mina replied.
"I heard," Gaara said.
"So Gaara, tell me something," Mina asked.
"What's that?"
"What's up with these kids?" she asked.
"Which ones?" he asked confusedly.
"Well, who's dog-boy over there?" she asked, pointing to the boy in the seat diagonal from the one in front of her.
"That's Kiba Inuzuka and his dog, Akamaru. Don't let him hear you call him dog-boy, he hates that." Gaara said.
"Well, I don't care. So what's up with those four? And the chick with the six foot Pocahontas ponytail? And this Sakura girl? I don't like her," Mina said rapidly.
"Well, those four are just kids. The one with the blonde hair is my sister, Temari, she's a cheerleader. The kid in the black jacket is my brother, Kankuro, never woulda guessed huh? The kid next to Temari is her boyfriend, Shikamaru. And the kid next to Kankuro is Rock Lee."
"So this chick with the six foot ponytail………..and Sakura, what's their deals?" Mina questioned, she was intrigued.
"Ino Yamanaka is her name and her arch enemy is Sakura Haruno, both cheerleaders. Of course, Temari, Kankuro and myself tell them both to can it quite a bit."
"So what's with those two, are they dating?" she asked, pointing to two kids in the middle of the bus. It didn't appear that they were talking, but they looked a lot alike, and they were sitting a little close.
"No, they're first cousins, that's why they look alike. Their names are Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga. They don't talk much, but they protect each other. Hinata is a cheerleader." Gaara said. "Anyone else you're curious about?"
"Yeah, the loud, crazy kid in the white shirt and orange pants," she said.
"Naruto Uzumaki, he's a jock. He plays football, basketball, and runs track too. He's also addicted to Ramen," he said.
"Oh, okay."
"So, you're from the states, huh?"
"Ye—," she was cut off by Sasuke's entrance.
"Sakura is so ANNOYING, she should die. Why doesn't she leave me alone? I told her I don't like her, at all, but she continues to talk to me. What is that?" Sasuke asked.
"I was talking!" she yelled at him.
"Oh, were you? Maybe you should talk faster next time," he said.
"No, maybe you should come and see if someone's talkin first, then say what you need to say. Don't fuck with me, dude. What's your name?" Mina asked, an evil look in her eye.
"No, I don't think I will. My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I'm from the Uchiha clan," Sasuke said.
The bus pulled to a stop in front of the school, the doors opened and the kids began piling off the bus.
"I don't care what clan you're from. And next time you're talking to me, don't touch me," she said, referring to the stop incident and narrowing her eyes at him.
"Don't leave your mouth hanging open next time, then! And we weren't so much talking since you stopped mid-sentence to stare at me!" he yelled at her, rising to his feet.
"Well, don't surprise me next time!" she said, rising to her feet also.
"Whoa, whoa, simmer down you two," Kiba rose and stepped between the two, facing Mina.
"Shut up!" Mina yelled at Kiba.
"Don't tell him to shut up! And if you don't want any surprises then don't move like someone's grandmother!" Sasuke yelled back.
"You guys!" Kiba said.
"Aaaaagh!!!!" Mina screamed. "Shut up dog breath!" She yelled, then she pushed past Kiba and got off the bus.
Sasuke punched the seat where Mina was sitting. Then Sasuke, Kiba, Gaara and a few people who had been watching the screaming match filed off the bus. Everyone was surprised at Sasuke, he hardly ever showed emotion and he never raised his voice. This girl brought out a different side of him, a personal side.
In school………
Mina stormed toward her first class, biting the fat part of her palm all the way there. She was almost calm when Sakura stepped in her way. She didn't wanna deal with this girl right now, she had class to get to. Well, she didn't give a damn about class, she just didn't want to talk to Sakura.
"What Sakura?" she asked, more annoyed with this girl than before.
"I just, I think our conversation was cut a bit short earlier," Sakura said.
"No, no it was timed about right," Mina said.
"Well, I just wanted to talk to you. Do you mind if I walked and talked with you? Good! You see, I saw you talking to Sasuke-kun earlier on the stop." She stopped to flash a fake smile and resumed, "I just wanted to let you know that I don't mind my Sasuke-kun having female friends, it's okay with me, it just can't be you, okay?!" she flashed another fake smile at Mina.
"So lemme get this straight: you don't want me to be friends with Sasuke because I'm………..? Why can't I be his friend?" Mina asked, she was confused.
"Because Sasuke tends to like girls like you. You know, the ones who don't like him back, and I can't have that. So you can't be his friend." Sakura said.
"How old are you Sakura?" Mina asked.
"I'm fifteen years old. How old are you?" Sakura asked.
"I'm fifteen also, but what's the big deal with Sasuke? Truthfully, he's not all that great. But now that you mention it……..he is hot. I think I might try to talk to him now. Sounds like fun!" Mina said, taunting her and flashing a smile as fake as Sakura's.
"Look kid, Sasuke is mine, stay away from him, okay? If I catch you near my Sasuke-kun, I will be forced to hurt you." Sakura said.
They stopped in front of Mina's first hour class. Mina could no longer contain herself, she laughed LOUDLY.
'Is this kid joking? Does she think she intimidates me or something? Wow, this is comedic, she's telling me to stay away from a guy I think is the hugest dickhole on the planet anyway because she likes him. That's funny, really funny, like slapstick funny.'
"Sakura, do you think you intimidate or scare me?" Mina asked after about two minutes of laughter.
"Do I?" Sakura asked.
"No, HELL NO. Being scared of you is like being scared of a loaf of bread. Or a cotton plant. You're soft honey, no, you're softer than soft." Mina stepped closer to Sakura's face. "Look here, Ms. Saddidy, I will do what I want, okay? It just so happens Sasuke and I got off to a bad start. But I think I'll change that now. Thanks for the idea!" Mina said, and then she stepped into her class.
Mina walked into the classroom and took an immediate survey. It was a pretty nice school, for a Japanese place. She walked around to find an open seat, there were only two left. The school was full of friends who were all too happy to see one another again. Ino walked over to her table, yet Mina did not notice her.
"Is this seat taken?" Ino asked.
"No, but I'd prefer you didn't sit there if you are going to threaten me, try to intimidate me, or say a series of smart comments." Mina told her.
"I won't. I just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Ino Yamanaka. You can sit with me today at lunch if you like. That's all I wanted though, thank you for your time." Ino said.
"Thanks for the offer." Mina said.
"You're welcome."
But contrary to Mina's belief, which was that Ino was being nice, Ino had a hidden agenda. Ino wanted to keep Mina away from Sasuke, so she was going to. But unlike Sakura, Ino did it in such a way that she could gain Mina's trust instead of using force. The backstabbing bitch……………..
