Chapter 6- Lunch With The Devil

It was a cloudless and sunny day in Kyoto, Japan. If one were had just woken up from slumber and gazed outside, one would assume it were a perfect and flawless day.

Well.. One would be wrong, very - VERY wrong.

Now pretend with me for a moment that you haven't read through five chapters of complete and -for lack of a better word- utter insanity. Now try to look at things from an outsider's point of view and imagine how such a perfect day be the worst day of someone's life.

Hard to imagine isn't it?

Well, to be honest, I wasn't expecting you to guess correctly.

In any such case, I'm not going to torture you with mindless dabble anymore and will now unceremoniously drop you into the havoc wrecked life of one Sakura Haruno.

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

Nearly fifty pairs of hands flew up to their owner's ears as the shrill scream of a horror stricken girl escaped her throat.

WHAT-THE-HELL-IS-THAT!

I daresay, dear Sakura, that those are either a pair of rather bushy eyebrows, or extremely fuzzy caterpillars.

"LEE!" Shouted Ino with fury. "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU TO BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU STICK THOSE- THOSE THINGS? YOU NEARLY MADE SAKURA FAINT- AGAIN!"

Then suddenly, as if a fifty pound anvil had landed on Sakura's head, the poor girl began to sway where she sat and Ino quickly hurried to steady Sakura before she can hit the ground again.

Oh dear Kami...

The person known as "Lee" was dressed in a green body suit, - identical to the teacher's- orange leg warmers, - AGAIN identical to the teacher's- and... a black cape.

The cape, which seemed to be the only original thing about the guy, fluttered around his ankles as if some non-existent breeze were blowing it around him as he stood with his hands on his hips and his eyes filled with a look of superiority and indignation.

Sakura was rudely snapped out of her reverie as Lee had suddenly begun to speak - er, scream.

"I TOLD you Ino! The person known as Rock Lee no longer exists! I am - dramatic pause - THE GREEN BEAST OF KONOHA!"

Fifty faces were suddenly stricken with, may I say, WTF! looks on their faces as Lee continued to stand in the middle of the gym, now with his cape held in front of him. (A/n think Darkwing Duck.)

Sakura's face was among the worst as she continued to gape in shock. There- right in front of her- stood a guy who had self-proclaimed himself to be The Green Beast of Konoha.

Though, by the looks of it, he had a damn good reason too.

Ino, being the first to regain her composure, countered Lee's outburst.

"And I've told YOU," began Ino as she rose to begin yelling at Lee, " to stop calling yourself stupid names and to leave me alone. I'm only going to repeat this once more... I don't need you, want you, nor will I EVER find a use for you! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Sakura was, needless to say, shocked to see Ino act so harshly with someone, but she was even more shocked to see that she was the only person in the room that thought Ino's actions were too harsh. It almost seemed... as if... as if this sort of thing happened everyday.

Then, just when Sakura thought things could get no stranger, Lee pulled a bouquet of black roses out from behind his cape, walked past Ino, knelt in front of Sakura and to the surprise of EVERYBODY began to speak in a clear and loud voice.

"I, Rock Lee, do hereby forfeit all rights to Ino Yamanaka and now declare my undying love for Sakura Haruno!"

The last thing Sakura heard before she slipped back into the sweet, sweet blackness of unconsciousness, was the distinct voice of Naruto saying, "but I thought you were The Green Beast of Konoha?"

Sakura woke some 10 minutes later on what appeared to be a coarsely made bed.

The bed, however, was the last thing on Sakura's mind as she suddenly came to realize that she was in the nurse's office and there was a large pink post-it stuck to her forehead. (A/n which is PERFECTLY sized!)

Sakura-

I guess I had better tell you now that if you want to live your life in peace you will LEAVE THE COUNTRY!

Please take me seriously because Rock Lee maybe an idiot, a stalker, and a Guy Sensei wannabe, but he is a stalker with the stubborness of a mule and the i.q. to boot.

Okay, maybe I was going a little far with the whole LEAVE THE COUNTRY thing... but trust me, Rock Lee has had a crush on me for the past 3 years and he's so far as to ask my hand in marriage 324 times, promise to protect me 582 times, and he's also professed his undying love for me no less than 897 times. - Naruto's been keeping record. He thinks it's funny.

Anyway, by the time you wake up it'll be time for lunch, but I highly suggest you eat elsewhere than the cafeteria because heaven's knows that if Rock Lee finds you, chances are you'll find him waiting for you with a seven course, candle-lit lunch.

Anyway, just stay clear from the cafeteria.

-Ino

p.s. Have you come up with a name for our band yet?

Sakura let out a deep breath as she sunk back down into the pillow.

What the HELL did I get myself into?

I'd say a whole shit-load of trouble.

As if on cue, Sakura suddenly heard the door knob turn and a voice that was quickly and unwillingly becoming familiar to her ring out, "Oh SAKURA!"

Sakura had no time to think as she looked at the door and then the open window.

"I'M FREE!" screamed Sakura as she sat in a tree that at the moment was laden heavily with branches and birds.

Sakura had no time to think about what lengths she had to resort to in order to escape from a maniac when she was interrupted by the sound of a cough.

Oh Kami, thought Sakura as she began to look down, I hope it isn't Lee. As it turned out. It was someone far worse than Lee, you guessed it.

Sasuke Uchiha.

"Where is she?" Said Ino with a note of panic in her voice.

Almost the whole of an un-named band were now making their way down a hallway towards their band class.

"I-I'm sure Sakura-san is okay Ino..." reassured Hinata softly as she walked with her feet touching the ground without making a noise.

"How can you NOT be worried about this Hinata? I spoke to Shikamaru and he said that Sakura was no where to be seen in chemistry. For all we know, Rock Lee could have her tied up somewhere feeding her grapes!"

Ino was now almost close to tears as she continued to have images of her friend being tortured to insanity by a fruit, and no, she was NOT thinking about a grape.

"Rock Lee doesn't have Sakura tied up anywhere." said Mizuko.

"And how do you know?"

"I know this for a fact because he asked me in history just now whether or not Sakura was allergic to grapes. I told him yes."

"But- but where is she?" asked Ten-Ten.

"Who knows." said Mizuko with an impassive face.

An hour previously

Sasuke Uchiha was not having a good day. In fact, it was one of the worst he'd yet to experience.

Thoughts of the previous class had floated into his mind as he walked across the court yard to his favorite tree.

"I, Rock Lee, do hereby forfeit all rights to Ino Yamanaka and now declare my undying love for Sakura Haruno!"

SHIT!

This wasn't an obstacle Sasuke had planned on attacking. It wasn't going to be the simple operation make-her-fall-for-you scheme he had been planning.

It was now a scheme that composed of the words dispose-of-Rock-Lee-THEN-make-her-fall-for-you.

This certainly wasn't something he had been planning on, but it WOULD make things more interesting.

Then, as if interesting had suddenly become the word of the day, the distinct voice of Sakura Haruno was heard screaming, "I'M FREE!"

Sasuke looked up in surprise to see Sakura sitting in his tree.

The heavens don't hate me after all

"Why are you following me?" asked Sakura as she looked down upon the surprisingly expressionless face of Sasuke Uchiha. (She was expecting a smirk.)

"I wasn't following you." said Sasuke.

"Then why are you here?"

"You're in my tree."

"Excuse me?" said Sakura bewilderdly, " your tree?"

"Yes, MY tree, so would you please get out of it."

WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS?

Speaking to me like that!

Sakura opened her mouth to retaliate until she realized that he wasn't at the base of the tree anymore.

"Where is he?" She asked aloud.

"Right here."

Sakura held her eyes shut because she was certain she was about to hit the hard, hard earth.

She waited and waited, but the fall never came.

"Okay class!" spoke Kakashi, " today we're going to work on our vocals! So I'd like to start with Sasuke! Wait, where is he?"

Ten-Ten, Ino, Hinata, and Mizuko all shared significant looks.

Sakura decided it was time she opened her eyes, and to her surprise she was hanging about six feet from the ground, what was more surprising was the fact that a strong arm was snaked around her waist.

She looked up and saw the face of Sasuke Uchiha staring into her eyes, and above that was his other arm holding onto the branch of the tree.

"LET GO OF ME!" said Sakura. She was now hitting his arm in protest so he would let go of her.

"No," was the simple reply.

"WHAT! WHY?"

"Do you really want to fall from this height?"

Sakura suddenly became limp when she realized his point.

"Fine." she said, "Fine, but you have NOT won!"

"Won what?"

Sakura didn't answer, but they both knew her unspoken answer was, "My heart."

So she knows what I'm after... This will just make things TWICE as interesting.

Being the quick thinker that he was however, Sauske decided to simply play dumb. In one quick motion he pulled himself and Sakura back up into the tree that was now void of birds.

Sasuke's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by an awe-struck voice.

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"How-how did you pull us up like that?"

Sasuke tried his hardest to supress the smirk that was trying to form on his face.

"It's for me to know and for you to find out."

Sakura looked at him with a suspicious look in her eye. The smirk that Sasuke had been trying to supress was barely being concealed.

"Fair enough," replied Sakura as she jumped off the branch and landed silently and swiftly onto her feet.

How-how did she- THAT WAS NEARLY TEN FEET!

"How did you do that?" asked Sasuke as he gaped at her in awe. All control over his facial expressions were blown away with the wind when Sakura replied, "That's for me to know and for you to never find out."

A/n– I know I'm evil for ending it here, but now you all know there's something strange about Sakura that none of us know about! I decided this would be a Christmas present to my readers, seeing as how I'm so evil for not updating sooner. I promise this though, I'll be updating SOON! I suspect in a week or so. My writer's block has left me and I'm in the mood for writting.

Merry Christmas!
