My new favorite Korean drama: Autumm in my Heart/Autumm Fairy Tale.
It's so much sadder than Full House because I cry on EVERY SINGLE episode, I SWEAR. You must watch it because I had it on good conscience that this drama is better than Full House.
Also, my computer has been pretty sucky lately. I couldn't upload my stories onto fanfiction. So it took a while. Thank you for the wait.
My Sweet Little Game Chapter 9
News spread like wildfire about the Tenten and sasuke ordeal. Mainly that they were going out ever since Sakura and Neji began going out.
Now THAT was also part of the news. The big news flash: SAKURA AND NEJI.
At first, many were surprised that the cold-hearted and angst NEJI found love at last.
HELLO? Remember when he went out with TENTEN? Love, right?
But it was official. The two of them had made commitment, which was reported by some eyewitness spectators that saw the couple exchange rings.
How sweet…
But Sasuke was deeply depressed. Not only had that bastard, Neji deceived Sakura, but now, he was going out with her, acting like nothing happened at all?
"Godammit." Sasuke muttered under his breath. It was one sunny morning and he decided to take a walk down the streets, maybe get some practice done later.
However, most people were staring at him and some even walked up to him and congratulated him on his relationship with Tenten. That was unexpected.
Sasuke ignored most of them until even Naruto approached him and shook his hand.
"Naruto, let go." Sasuke ordered.
"IT'S SO GOOD YOU FOUND LOVE AT LAST, SASUKE!" Naruto bellowed like a loud cow, attracting much attention on the streets.
"SHUT-UP!" Sasuke shouted. "SHUT UP ABOUT ME AND TENTEN, YOU IDIOT!"
Naruto looked sly as he leaned forward and whispered something into Sasuke's ear.
"Don't be shy, Sasuke. I heard ALL about it." Naruto whispered. "You and Tenten…you know what happened…"
Sasuke stared. "Are you talking about her kissing me? Because THAT was just—"
Naruto shook his head. "OH NO, not that…"
He leaned to Sasuke's ear again and whispered. "I heard what you told Tenten…you sly and flirty bastard." Naruto cooed.
"?" Sasuke wondered.
"You grabbed Tenten and kissed her and you made Sakura-chan mad. Then, you actually admitted your love to Tenten and eloped with her to the nearest hotel." Naruto said. "…at least, that's what I'VE been told."
"WHAT?" Sasuke hollered.
Naruto stared and flushed. "I wish you two the best of luck." Then he hopped off.
"HEY, WAIT! I NEVER DID ANY OF THAT!" Sasuke shouted after Naruto, who disappeared into view. "DAMMIT!"
How could this happen? What kind of crazy idiot is spreading these rumors? Sasuke wondered as he fast-walked down the streets, ignoring all the glances at him.
But Sasuke wasn't watching where he was running and ran straight into…
Ino.
They both fell on the ground with a thud.
"HEY, WATCH IT, YOU INCONDESCENT OAF!" Ino shouted, not aware that she ran into Sasuke. She quickly looked up and saw…
"Sasuke-kun!" Ino said, blushing and then suddenly, "Oh, excuse me…I mean…Sasuke." She corrected, leaving out the honorific.
Sasuke grunted and got up. He brushed dirt off his pants as Ino got up too.
Her pale blonde hair was in the usual do and she glanced at Sasuke curiously.
Sasuke couldn't take it. "What?" He demanded, annoyed.
"Oh, I just…" Ino said, blushing and looking down. "I heard you're going out with Tenten-san." She said, suddenly looking up with confidence.
"…that's not true." Sasuke said. He looked away. "Those are just rumors! Don't believe them."
Ino stared and sighed. She handed him a copy of the newspaper she was holding.
"Look." She said. "The gossip column of the Daily Konoha is raging about you and Tenten. I read that you guys eloped to the nearest hotel…"
Sasuke groaned and grabbed the newspaper from Ino's hand. It read:
Shocking news: OUR BELOVED UCHIHA FINDS LOVE.
The girl who captured his heart was featured in our gossip column earlier as the beloved, Neji's girlfriend. Who knew she was strong enough to steal away BOTH our village's hottest hardest to get men? But the scoop was: Sasuke pronounced his undying love for her after he grabbed her and kissed her. They eloped to a nearby hotel and spent the night there…
It was reported by many eyewitnesses who SWORE upon this event…
Sasuke threw the paper on the ground. How dare they make up such insolent lies about this?
Ino stared as Sasuke breathed heavily.
She handed him her coffee she was holding. "Here. Drink something before you cough up your lung."
Sasuke stared at Ino and looked away, still panting.
"I can't believe you dated Tenten. Everyone knows she's a player." Ino remarked. "Even if those rumors aren't true, I still know upon good resources that you dated her."
"For one frigging day!" Sasuke shouted.
"Maybe this is why you earn such a bad rep." Ino said, annoyed. "Sasuke-kun—er, I mean…Sasuke…you always get mad so easily."
"Why are you calling me Sasuke-kun and then correcting yourself?" Sasuke asked, still pissed. "I don't have time to listen to this."
"Wait!" Ino shouted, as Sasuke began to leave. She began running after him, following him before he stopped abruptly and she ran into him again, her heels snapped.
"Ow!" Ino said, as she fell to the ground. "My heel!" (Her high heels broke)
Sasuke sighed.
20 minutes later…
Upon sincere apology, Sasuke and Ino were now sitting in a local bakery shop, eating cupcakes. Everyone in the shop were quietly whispering and giggling.
"You know…" Ino licked her cupcake paper. "It's not such a bad thing to like someone."
"Hmm…" Sasuke answered, not even touching his cupcakes, only sipping his tea.
"I mean it!" Ino licked her fingers and placed the cupcake paper down. "Do you really like Tenten?"
"…" Sasuke didn't bother. If he said no, it would only start another conspiracy.
"Well, actually…I hate to admit it, but…" Ino paused as she sipped her tea. "I always thought you and Sakura were the perfect match."
Sasuke clenched his fists. "I don't like Sakura…"
"Well, obviously she was the closest girl to you." Ino said as she fingered another pink frosted cupcake. "And you sorta just started dating Tenten out of the blue. I wouldn't believe those rumors if it was the last thing on earth."
Sasuke looked up. "What?"
"You don't know, don't you?" Ino asked.
"What?"
Ino smiled. "You don't know that…Tenten helps write the gossip column?"
"…WHAT?" Sasuke whirled. "SHE made this shit up?"
Ino put down her tea and picked up another cupcake. "Well, she mainly writes down the things she sees and her editors write the actually column."
"THAT BITCH!" Sasuke shouted and stood straight up.
"This was why I didn't believe the rumors in the first place." Ino said, not surprised as she bit into her cupcake.
"I'm gonna teach her a lesson!" Sasuke started out the door. "Especially since she made fun of Sakura!"
"Hold it!" Ino said. "I have one last thing to say…"
Sasuke whirled around. "WHAT?"
Ino smiled a devious smirk. "The only reason I call you Sasuke instead of Sasuke-kun, is because I have upon good resource that the name outgrows your personality…Sasuke."
'What's that supposed to mean?" Sasuke clenched a fist.
"It means you're not the sweetheart in anyone's hearts anymore." Ino said, seriously, licking her fingers.
Sasuke turned red with anger and stalked off.
"Hmm…" Ino snickered. "Good luck in your next life, Sasuke."
Somewhere else…
"Did you read the newspapers today?" Neji asked Sakura as they met up around the block. He was wearing shades and carrying a folded newspaper while his hair was down and flowing freely.
"No. Why?" Sakura asked.
"…Er…they seem to know that we're going…out." Neji said. He handed Sakura the newspaper.
She quickly flipped through to the gossip column and gaped as all the pathetic and sadist details of her love life with Neji flowed out. Geez…you'd think people with no lives write this shit.
"Are you alright with that?" Neji asked, eyeing Sakura, who was reading all about Sasuke and Tenten.
She looked up in his eyes and smiled.
"Yea…I'll be fine." Sakura answered.
Neji smiled and they walked off. But the silence was killing her until Sakura couldn't stand it and burst out….
"Neji…who was the one who wrote this crap about Sasuke?"
End of chapter.
Basically, the next plot is that Sasuke and Sakura meet up at the newspaper press. Sakura is surprised that Sasuke was there to defend her while Sasuke was surprised Sakura was there to defend him. Somehow, Tenten and Ino become intertwined with this in the end and there will be lots of back slashing.
Keep reading, guys! R&R. I love you.
