Today was a horrible day. Not only did my idiot of a teacher make me sit out of 15 minutes of art class because I was too "loud" and a "distraction to the others around me." I also have this cold that just keeps getting worse every morning. Do you know how many tissues I used?
God, where does all that snot come from?
My Sweet Little Game Chapter 4
Sasuke followed Sakura Naruto and Kakashi into the ramen stand. He gulped. Naruto and Kakashi had just entered the scene when Sakura was just about to tell him who she befriended.
And we all thought that person would've been pretty obvious till now.
Sasuke took a seat next to Naruto, who sat next to Kakashi and then Sakura. Yes, that's right. Avoid the person you need to talk to most, Sasuke.
Naruto and Kakashi began a discussion. Mainly, it was from Naruto's side while Kakashi was only half listening and reading his book. Sasuke and Sakura kept quiet the entire time which only made it awkward.
But Sasuke quickly snapped out of his daydream when Sakura's name was mentioned in Naruto's discussion.
"What about her?" Sasuke asked.
The others glanced at Sasuke dumbly while Sakura blushed a bit and looked the other direction.
"Dude, didn't you hear?" Naruto asked out loud, almost laughing.
"What?" Sasuke demanded, looking from Sakura to Naruto.
"That guy she met on that dating website!" Naruto slapped his own forehead and lifted his ramen bowl to his lips and slurped.
"Who?" Sasuke almost burst up.
"Its—" Naruto was cut off when Sakura slapped his mouth shut.
"Details aren't important." Sakura gritted through clenched teeth with a hand still grasped over Naruto's abnormally big mouth. She didn't want Sasuke to think she met someone else and let him know that she didn't like him anymore.
Sasuke looked at Sakura curiously.
"S-s-s-s-so let's eat!" Sakura stuttered. She was afraid that Sasuke suspected she met someone, which was totally not the case.
"Um, ok…" Sasuke said slowly and picked up his chopsticks again. She's acting weird…
Silence.
"IT'S NEJI!" Naruto suddenly blurted out, abruptly standing up from his seat. Sakura gasped and Sasuke nearly choked.
Yes, let's talk about personal values, Naruto.
"NARUTO! ZIP IT!" Sakura hollered at him, giving Naruto a well deserved punch. "WHO TOLD YOU TO BLURT PERSONAL INFORMATION?"
HYUUGA NEJI? SHIT! THAT SENSELESS, COLD, CYNICAL ANGRY SON OF A BITCH! HE'S ALMOST AS BAD AS ME! Sasuke thought in his head. Sasuke stole a quick glance in Sakura's direction, who happened to be beating up Naruto.
Yes, what a nice dinner scene.
Kakashi was still holding his book and staring at the disturbed look on Sasuke's face. "Are you alright?" Kakashi gave a smirk on Sasuke's direction.
Sasuke's face immediately flushed. He faced the front again. "I-I'm fine."
"Uh huh…" Kakashi said slyly and went back to reading his book.
"Uh, well anyways…" Sakura stuttered. She had finished pulverizing Naruto who was covered in big black bruises. "Sasuke-kun…you see, Neji and I aren't like, dating or anything…we're friends," she finished which was sort of strange because she had never said more than a word to Neji…
"I don't care." Sasuke said, trying to collect his cool.
"Yea! Sasuke, you shouldn't be too concerned! I mean, what kind of couple would it be if NEJI and SAKURA-CHAN started going out?" Naruto laughed. "THAT'S A HOOT!"
Sakura shot Naruto a death glance and Naruto zipped his mouth and got the message.
"I never said I was going out with him." Sakura said quietly.
Sasuke's stomach did a little flip. He sort of felt happy inside knowing that Sakura and Neji were just friends (Or whatever it was) but he also felt disappointed knowing that Sakura wasn't through with him.
"…Well that's funny." Kakashi joined in the conversation. He didn't even lift an eye up from his book. "Gai told me the other day that Neji was talking about you during training, Sakura."
Sasuke clutched his chopsticks and his knuckles turned white.
Sakura blushed and looked surprised.
Naruto's eyes widened.
"WHAT? HOW DARE THAT BASTARD BE DAY DREAMING ABOUT MY SAKURA-CHAN THAT WAY!" Naruto shouted, his eyes flaring with anger marks.
"NARUTO!" Sakura belted and bonked him hard on the head. "FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T 'BELONG' TO YOU! SECONDLY…"
Sakura paused. "…I think it's nice he's thinking about me…" she finished softly and her cheeks flushed.
Sasuke clutched his chopsticks harder. WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Kakashi smiled. "Someone's found a new boyfriend." He teased Sakura.
Sakura turned red. "Kakashi-sensei!" She said, smiling an embarrassed smile. "It's not like that!"
Sasuke's grip on the chopsticks went tighter until the chopsticks nearly snapped in half.
"Wait…" Naruto argued. "Does this mean…you WANT to date Neji?"
Sakura huffed. "Honestly Naruto! My love life has nothing to do with you!" But she was secretly blushing inside and a little butterfly fluttered in her stomach. What was this warm burning sensation?
It's called "love" my friend.
Sasuke must have been REALLY mad because he was nearly steaming in his ears before Sakura and Naruto stared at him nervously and asked if he was alright.
"I'm fine…" Sasuke answered stiffly. His face was white and he closed his eyes to try and look as normal as possible. "Just eat." He ordered.
Naruto gave a small laugh.
"I think someone's jealous." Naruto teased.
Sasuke coughed wildly, his face turning red. Partly because he was super mad and second, a little piece of carrot was stuck in his throat. Um…but mostly, I think it was because he was super mad.
"I'M NOT JEALOUS!" Sasuke shouted at Naruto. Sakura was blushing and looking at Sasuke with her wide green eyes and her pink hair.
Damn…that's cute. Sasuke couldn't help think when he saw the expression on Sakura's face.
"Is it true?" Sakura whispered softly.
"Er---" Sasuke stuttered. "No, I just…"
"Awww…" both Naruto and Kakashi cooed as they watched Sasuke turn red while watching him confront Sakura like a little love couple.
"Aren't they adorable?" Naruto cooed.
"Just like a new couple." Kakashi added.
"WOULD YOU GUYS KNOCK IT OFF?" Sakura and Sasuke both scolded their ignorant teammates. Geez…
"So when is it going to be official?" Naruto asked.
"What?" Sakura demanded. "I don't even know if I want to date Neji…"
"But is it a possibility?" Naruto asked.
"Well, I suppose…" Sakura admitted slowly.
Sasuke's stomach flopped. What the fuck? She's actually reconsidering dating Neji? That Hyuuga clone? Grrr…
"Are you ok with that, Sasuke?" Naruto asked, enjoying this little show. He grinned.
Everyone turned to stare at Sasuke who turned white and then pink. "Um…yea, I guess."
Sakura gave a little sigh of relief.
What the hell? She shouldn't 'sigh with relief' when I'm perfectly NOT fine with this! Sasuke thought in his head. He couldn't help but be a bit jealous.
A bit?
"Well, this was certainly an INTERESTING little dinner." Kakashi said as he got up from his seat. "But I've got better things to do, so see you guys later."
"Ok, bye Kakashi-sensei." Naruto answered.
Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Well, we're finished with dinner anyways, so let's go." Sakura said, looking at her bowl and getting up from her seat.
Suddenly, her foot caught on a metal bar under the counter and she fell forwards, lurching towards Sasuke.
BAM! SAKURA FELL ON THE GROUND, HER HEAD BROKE AND SHE DIED!
Naw, just kidding.
Acting on impulse, Sasuke caught Sakura just as she was about to fall on the ground. His arms were over her arms and their faces only inches apart. This was usually the part where the handsome prince kisses the beautiful princess and everyone cheers.
Yea, um, two problems with that theory. Number one, it'll work if they were actually in LOVE first…and second, this was certainly no fairy tale, where they live happily ever after.
Sakura blushed and Sasuke was put in an awkward position.
"Sorry." Sakura answered and got up.
"Yea…it's ok." Sasuke answered.
End of chapter.
