SM: Okies, I'm back with Chibi Love chapter 3. I know I said the chapter would be up almost a month ago but I just didn't think I would get sick, so yeah...Also, I might rewrite chapters one and two, and depending upon how much I change those, I might rewrite this chapter as well, but I'm highly doubting the chapters will change so much. Yeah, that was just to let you know.
Disclaimer: If I owned Naruto, nobody would watch it...Just in case you don't understand this: I do NOT own Naruto or any of it's characters.
Chibi Love Chapter 3
SasuSakuSasuSakuSasuSakuSasuSaku
The two Uchiha children awoke the next morning to find their father and mother already seated at the table. The only problem was that there was no breakfast there with them.
"Okaa-sama, where's the food?" a tired Sasuke asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Go back to bed, both of you." came their father's cold reply.
Itachi glared at him. "Otou-sama, in case you forgot, Sasuke has school today and I have a mission. If we went to bed that would be irresponsible."
"Do not lecture me, Itachi. Do you understand?"
Itachi ceased his glaring, but you could still see the hatred burning deep within his eyes as he stared at the man before him. "Hai."
"Good. You and Sasuke can pick up some food on your way. You have money."
"Hai."
"But otou-sama, today is also-" Sasuke tried to speak but his father cut him off.
"I said go."
"Hai, otou-sama." They both said obediently as they turned to leave.
"Fugaku, surely you don't need to be so angry all the time..." Their mother sighed.
"You pamper those boys to much Mikoto." was the last thing Itachi heard before he closed the sliding door behind Sasuke.
"Onii-chan, when did dad get home?"
"Last night, I guess."
"Oh, well, today is parent teacher meetings and I need okaa-sama and otou-sama to go with me."
"Well, that's to bad. Otou-sama never does anything the day on or afer he comes home from a mission."
"Oh I see..." the younger Uchiha's face fell. Itachi sighed.
"Cheer up, Sasuke. What are parent teacher conferences anyway? All they do is sit there and talk about how successful you are, or how much potential you have. Nothing to get all worked up about."
"Still, it would have been nice..."
Trying to get his mind off the conferences, Itachi walked his younger brother to the Ichiraku for breakfast.
"Is this healthy onii-chan?" Sasuke asked as he looked at the ramen stand skeptically.
"Not exactly, but it isn't healthy in the least bit if you don't eat anything at all, right?"
"Right..." came the slow reply, "but won't okaa-sama and otou-sama be angry? We're not even allowed to have candy. What makes you think we can have ramen for breakfast? It's indecent!"
"Indecent?" he raised an eyebrow at his little brothers stupidity. "First off, ramen is very healthy for you, just don't eat to much. Second, otou-sama probably wasn't eating to healthy when he was on his mission, and lastly, okaa-chan hasn't been eating at all. How is that healthy? Now sit down, be grateful, and eat. Besides, we hardly get to eat ramen at all."
Sasuke just stood there.
"What's wrong now?" the agitated teen glared down at the him. Was there really something that bad about eating ramen for breakfast?
"It's just that..."
"What?" he snapped.
"Well..."
"Sasuke!"
"You said okaa-sama won't eat anymore...Is there something wrong with them?"
Itachi knew that even though he was young, Sasuke wasn't blind. Yes, there was something wrong with his parent's relationship. The family. Both of them as individuals. There were so many things that were wrong in the world but if he told that to his six year old brother what kind of person would he be?
Smiling, he patted Sasuke's head and paid for the ramen. The rest of the meal was eaten in silence and the walk to Ninja Academy was no different.
Sasuke stepped into the classroom head high, eyes forward. Showing no signs that he was disturbed in the least bit. His earlier discussion with his brother had told him what he'd wanted to know. Something bad was going to happen soon. It didn't take a genius to guess that.
"Sasuke-kun? Are you feeling okay today?" one girl asked him as he took his seat, looking around.
"Yeah, I'm fine." he lied. Like it was any of her business anyway.
"Aw...Sasuke-kun! Please tell me, I can help!" she begged.
Sasuke thought a little, trying to remember the magic words he had used before to get rid of people like her. What were they again?
"Wanna hold my hand, Sasuke-kun? It'll make you feel better!" she chirped.
Man, how much more would he have to take? Taking this was absolute torture.
"Oh I know! We could sit together, let's sit together Sasuke-kun!"
It was such a pain to hear this early in the morning. He didn't have a decent breakfast and his father had just gotten back from a mission. This was annoying.
"Sasuke-kun?"
Annoying.
"Hello!! Sasuke-kun, I'm still here!" she yelled.
That was it! The words he was looking for!
"Sasu-"
"Do you mind? You're annoying." her reaction was one he had expected and hoped for.
"Oh...okay, Sasuke-kun. I'll be over here if you need me." she muttered, walking away.
Not bothered by this at all, Sasuke began to look around for Sakura, whom he had not seen at all that morning. Maybe she was still sick from yesterday? He hoped not.
"Alright class, sit down!" Iruka shouted from the front of the class. They all sat obediently, only one seat was left open and that was the one in the corner where Sakura usually sat.
Could she really be sick?
"Settle down! Now, parent teacher conferences are today and I take it everyone has informed their parents?" The class produced a small "Hai." in unison, even though some kids didn't even remember the conferences themselves.
"Hey, Iruka-sensei, why do we have parent teacher conferences?" Sasuke looked to the front row to see a blonde kid glaring straight up at Iruka as though it were his fault the conferences existed in the first place.
"Because, Naruto, parents should be aware of their child's success or failure. Don't look at me like that. It's not my preference to hold these."
"Hmph." Naruto leaned back in his chair angrily. "Why did I even bother coming today in the first place?"
"Well maybe it's because you felt a compelling need to learn something today instead of goofing around!"
Giggles could be heard from the class as Naruto and Iruka began to argue about what it meant to be a good ninja. Basically they agreed about the same qualifications, but in different ways.
Sasuke thought it was pretty pathetic that their teacher would argue with someone like Naruto and interrupt valuable class time just to do something so stupid. He had missed training yesterday and really needed to catch up. Being an Uchiha was hard after all. Especially if you wanted to be better then Uchiha Itachi.
"Fine, it's agreed then!"
"Fine!"
Finally...
"Partner up class. This will be your last chance to show me your progress before I speak to your parents this afternoon!"
Sasuke huffed. He didn't want to partner up with anyone. He was better then everyone in this pathetic classroom. Probably even better then Iruka himself.
"Hey Sasuke-kun! Want to be my partner?" one girl asked him with a smile on her face. Sasuke let out a deep sigh but gave a small nod. He didn't want to partner up with anyone.
"Really? Oh wow! Yay! I'm partners with Sasuke-kun! Haha!" the girl mocked the other's and followed Sasuke outside to the training grounds where some of the other pairs were already practicing together.
For the rest of the class time Iruka made them all spar against one another and rotate partners. Most of the kids were either not participating or complaining about having to actually do something. Some even complained about having their parents coming to the conference.
"I don't want my mom to come. Not like it matters anyway. Why do they have to have something so stupid." one kid said.
"I know what you mean. It's pointless." another agreed.
Sasuke didn't say anything but hearing that made him angry. At least they had their parents coming for them. They didn't deserve to complain about that. His own father and mother didn't know it was parent teacher conference today and he wished they were coming for him...it wasn't fair.
Iruka called all the children back inside when it was almost time for their parents to come in for conferences. Sasuke did not go inside like he was told. Who would notice anyway? Instead he sat on the wooden swing hanging from the tree behind the school.
"Hey! That's my swing!" a familiar voice yelled from behind him.
"I don't think so moron, this is public property. You don't own anything on it!" Sasuke yelled back at him.
Naruto glared at him, "Why aren't you inside? It's parent teacher conferences!"
"That's none of your business!" he yelled back.
The two boys glared at each other for a little while longer until Naruto broke the silence. "No one's coming for you either, huh?"
Sasuke was shocked that he figured it out. Was he that obvious? "How did you know?" he questioned slowly.
The blonde boy grinned. "It's because..." he leaned in close and whispered, "I'm really a psychic!"
Sasuke almost laughed. "Right, and I'm a fairy."
"Really? Little fairy Uchiha!" he teased.
"...you're stupid aren't you?" Sasuke smirked.
"Only as much as you are."
"Hardly believable. You're no genius." Sasuke's Uchiha pride kicked in.
"And you are?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I am." his smirked grew.
"In what?" Naruto asked sitting on the dirt beside the swing.
"What?" Sasuke looked down at the blonde.
"You can't be a genius in everything."
"Um...well, fighting I guess."
"Says who?" he challenged him.
"Says everyone I guess..." Sasuke kicked at the ground and pushed himself on the swing. Yeah says everyone...everyone but the people who were supposed to be there today.
"Hey Sasuke!"
"What is it?" Sasuke yelled down to Naruto.
"Do you know where Sakura-chan is?"
"Saku-" Sasuke immediately stopped swinging. "Did you say Sakura-san?"
"No, I said Sakura-chan, but I think we're talking about the same person. You know what happened to her?"
Sasuke sighed, "No, I don't know. I was hoping she would come today but..."
"Wait a minute. You were hoping she would come?" Naruto's eyes narrowed. "Do you like Sakura-chan?"
Sasuke's cheeks went red. "No, it's not like that I-"
"Liar! It's written all over your face!"
"It is not! Why do you care anyway?"
"I...uh, well...hey!"
Sasuke and Naruto stopped arguing for a moment and then Sasuke began to laugh and Naruto followed soon after.
They laughed for a whole minute before Naruto caught his breath. "Why are we laughing?"
Sasuke smiled. "For no reason. No reason at all."

I'm really sorry it took me so long to update, WAY long then I had anticipated. You see around the time I had updated I hadn't fully recovered from an episode of MS and I was kinda depressed so I wasn't really thinking about my fanfiction. I'm really sorry you guys, please forgive me. I made this chapter about 7 pages like I promised.
Well please review. Flames are welcome but constructive criticism is very much appreciated. Thanks for reading!
