I very much love you all for reviewing! It rawks like a munchkin eating chocolate sprinkles on Orange Wednesday!!
Yes it really does rock that much!
I did my very best to make sure I could update today! I wasn't going to, but I had an hour or 2 to kill before I had to hit the sack!
This is what happens when you rave all weekend and wake up on a trampoline ... probebly shouldn't do that again.
I am still feeling the effects even 2 days later!
Anyways chapter 3 in all its amazingness!
Disclaimer: Despite my constant begging, Masashi Kishimoto still hasn't let me buy Naruto from him.
Fitting In
Chapter 4: Sleepover
You know that Gaara kid is actually not that bad! Ok yes he did go a bit nuts and try and kill me when I first ran into him, but since then we've actually become surprisingly good friends!
It seems that every single day this week I have ended up hanging out with him after school for a while.
And he's really nice!
Well maybe a bit insane at times, and he has a lot of strange mood swings. One minute he's laughing and joking and the next he's severely pissed off.
But when I got past all of that I found that I actually really enjoy being in his company!
Take last Tuesday for example! We were sitting on the park swings when out of absolutely nowhere a random seagull shoots down out of the sky and ATTACKS MY HEAD!! It fully yanked a small lock of my pink hair off of my scalp! I was pissed!
Needless to say I spent the next 15 minutes chasing that damn bird around the slide and roundabout! It evaded capture… but very barely! And trust me one day I shall victor over that goddamn piece of bird flu!
Well I had finally admitted defeat, looked around and there was Gaara rolling around on the floor, tears in his eyes and clutching his sides.
He was laughing!
"Oh god I'm sorry, but honestly Sak you should've seen your face! It was a picture! Oh my god I think I'm dieing!" he spluttered between every burst of laughter!
And instead of totally flipping at him, because he had laughed at my misfortune, I simply laughed back. I mean he was right! It had been completely hilarious!
There is hardly anyone alive on this entire planet that has made me see how stupidly funny my actions can be.
It's a good thing!
There is one thing that continues to puzzle me about the red head though, and that's the fact that despite the fact he says that he is in my school… I haven't ever seen him in any of my classes, in the corridors or anywhere!
I've looked out for him though. Checked classrooms, under sinks, in Gais eyebrows. I even subconsciously found myself wondering whether he had crawled into Lees to keep that Mexican company!
Yet the fact remains that I just don't think he ever turns up for school!
It's a bit of a tetchy subject though, because I did once bring it up.
It didn't end too well.
So since then I've sort of left the subject be. The last thing I want is for him to stop seeing me!
Oh dear lord that makes us sound like a couple! But I really don't like him in that way! REALLY! I mean sure he is insanely good-looking, hot, amazing and gorgeous, but I just don't see him in any other way than a friend!
I am not the sort of person that falls for their best friends! That is exactly what Gaara and me are! Best friends! There isn't a hope in hell that I will degrade myself by falling in love with him!
Seriously!
"Sakura Inos at the door! SO GET UP!!"
Honestly does my mother NEVER get fed up with constantly yelling at me! I mean I know It's midday on a Saturday and that I've been lying here reminiscing for about an hour, but she could have at least dialled down the volume a tad!
Oh Crap actually maybe she did a good thing! Holy Shizzle Inos here already?
We're not meant to be going shopping for another hour at least!
I shifted my head on my pillow so it faced my very cool deathnote clock (A birthday present from my best mate in France, courtesy of Ebay!). It was 1:00pm! Well maybe I had infact slept in for a good few days longer than necessary?
But hey it's the weekend and me and that crazy blonde are heading off to the mall in town to celebrate the fact I have now survived my first Month of highschool!
I feel very proud!
"Oh Sak are you still in bed? Your mum said that you would at least be up by now girl!"
"ARGH INO HOW'D YOU GET INTO ME ROOM??"
Well it was a pretty unnerving sight when your friend walks into your room the minute after you have awoken form the magic realms of Sakuraland!
"I used the door you Muppet! Is that not how normal people usually enter rooms! Get up! YOO HOO SAK??"
This remark was promptly followed by a lot of hand waving in front of my face, as I tried to crawl back under my duvet.
"Nooo go away!! I WANTS SLEEEEP!!" I moaned form under the warm duvety depths.
"Oh no you don't I came here so we could go shopping and going shopping is exactly what I plan on us doing! NOW UP!!" the blonde yelled in my ear, whilst throwing my L plushie at my head!
So I had too give in. Partly, because she highjacked my duvet and also because I had been looking forward to checking out the mall ever since Hinata showed up at school with that incredible Vivienne Westwood handbag!
Dragging myself out of my bed in a similar manner to how I normally do on a school day, I yanked open my wardrobe and proceeded to get dressed (after having thrown Ino out of my room with the help of a pair of Salad tongs, which I had no idea I even had!)
God I hate early mornings!
x……………x…………….x
"Woooooooooooooooooow!"
It had to be the most beautiful sight I had ever seen in the whole 16 years of my life.
Konoha mall in all its amazing glory!
"Yes indeedy the incredibleness of it can be overwhelming, but focus girl we have to get you that handbag! Vivienne Westwood is actually closed at the moment, but Zara does have an amazing one that would be a superior replacement!" Ino said happily, before grabbing me by the arm and pulling me into the throng of weekend shoppers.
She was right as well the handbags in Zara were so awesome I'm surprised they weren't glowing like a second sun from their shelves in the shop!
Needless to say it really didn't take me very long to spend all of my savings!
Maybe I should take lessons in how to say no to an incredibly persuasive sales assistant (Well you too would buy a T-shirt if a guy that looked like an Abercrombie and Fitch model, told you it would match your pretty green eyes!). Thank god for Ino, who somehow managed to pull me away in time for us to go and grab a late lunch!
"So I'm guessing that next thing on our agenda would be the hair dye!" said the blonde over a small plate of Sushi.
"Yeah I think that would be a very good idea! I have left it far too long! I mean Jaraiya giving me detention has become an annual thing! I definitely think it's time I put a stop to them!" I replied.
My hair is still its usual bright shiny Pink, and yes I am suffering badly because of it at school! The crazy blonde was 100 percent correct in thinking that I needed to dye it and soon!
"Great! Boots have a pretty ok range of hair dyeing products so we can go and check that out in a minute, but if all else fails there is always the hair salon that my mum goes to! They sell the most incredibly natural looking colours!"
"Ok whatever you say girl you're the boss here!" I sighed, before attacking a questionable sushi roll with my chopsticks.
"Well out of interest what colour are you aiming for?"
Ouch she had me there! Honestly I hadn't really thought much about it!
But now… well maybe I should start to weigh up my options.
"How about Blonde?" Ino asked.
Mental image of me with blonde hair is popping up and if I'm totally honest I look far too much like a wanabe Ino!
"Nope not today!"
"Well how about Black?"
"ARGH NO I AM NOT EMO!! Me with black hair is far too depressing! I am not someone that feels a need to become one of the living dead! So I say no to black as well!"
"Ginger?"
"NO! Next colour!"
"Brown?"
"Actually that might not look so bad! What do you reckon my friend?"
I could see her mind working its little cogs as it generated an image of me with light honey coloured hair.
"Sak my pal I do believe we have cracked it!"
Oh good that didn't take nearly as long as I had imagined I it would.
Now to find the perfect colour to prepare for the GREAT DYING JOB!!!
x……………x…………….x
"Ino you mad women your getting the stupid stuff in my eyes!!"
EET BURNS!!!! Why the hell did they test this on animals to check that it wouldn't melt my eyeballs to jelly when it went ahead and did it anyway?
What a waste of an animal's life!
I think I'll be writing to PETA to ask for membership!
"Well stop wriggling would you? I'm trying to wash the god forsaken stuff in!"
Wash it in? She had me in a headlock over her bathroom sink! If this is the kind of pain you have to go through to avoid getting unnecessary detentions then I wish I'd taken my chances!
"Well hurry up you evil overlord before I scratch your eyes out with a bottle of shower gel!" I muttered into the side of the basin.
"Ok ok! Right I'm finished! We'll have to wash it out later, but to be honest I'll just leave it till morning!"
"What but what if I get the dye all over your futon? Your mum would eat me alive with Worchester sauce and ranch dressing!" I replied whilst twisting my hair into this weird plastic bag thingy and then covering that with a towel just to be on the safe side.
"Oh it'll be fine! Besides I'm pretty sure this crap washes out of fabric! They wouldn't have sold it to us other wise!"
I followed her out of the bathroom, across the landing and into her bedroom.
Let me tell you this right now! Ino Yamanaka has a huge bedroom! It is at least 80 zillion times bigger than mine! I mean she has a king sized bed! KING SIZED!
Why do I get the crummy Futon if she gets that beast? I ask you that!
I think I might have been able to live with the jealousy of the immense size of this room, but when I saw she had the COMPLETE series of Deathnote AND Dramacon I think I was tipped over the edge!
"Oh my good sweet merciful lord you have all of my favourite manga!" I managed to splutter as I reached her bookshelf that was heaving under the weight of all the manga volumes!
"Yep plus I have the Deathnote film!!" Ino said happily "You know we can watch it if you like! It's got English subtitles!"
My jaw completely hit the floor! I have wanted to see that film since I realised it existed! Oh what an incredibly amazing twist of fate!
"Ino Yamanaka did I ever tell you that I loved you?"
I plonked myself down in a beanbag in front of her TV, bowl of pre-prepared popcorn at the ready.
"No you didn't! Now shut up and watch the amazingness that is Deathnote unfold before your very eyes!"
x……………x…………….x
I stared in awe as the end credits popped up at the end of the film.
"OhMyGodThatFilmTotallyKickedAssAndWasn'tLightJustSoHot!!!I WantLsBabies!"
"Sak you are making absolutely no sense what so ever so I will take that as a sign that you thoroughly enjoyed that film!" Ino laughed as I started babbling some more about how hot the actors were and how much I wanted to bear their children!
"Hells yes!" was really all I managed to splutter in return through a mouth of left over stale popcorn.
"You know you are just how Naruto said Sasuke was like when he saw this film, except for the fact he didn't want to make babies with the entire cast!" Ino said brightly.
I watched as her face perked up as she mentioned Sasukes name. She was like a lovesick puppy!
"Oh Ino your obsession with Sasuke amuses me no end!"
"Yeah I know I'm a hopeless romantic, but I mean at least I have come to believe it will never ever happen!" she replied sadly.
"Oh what ever! Ino you know full well that is a blatant lie!"
"Well up until recently I thought exactly that but after what Naruto told me I am so far out of the game not even a set of rules and a map could help me find my way back in!" she replied in a monotone voice.
"Ok what did that crazy blonde say, because I swear I will shove his big mouth shut if it's all total lies!" I screeched in return.
"Well word is that Sasuke thinks you're totally hot! Naruto says that he never ever shuts up about you Sak!" she replied with a very sad and probably forced smile.
I could feel my jaw practically hit the floor even before she finished her sentence. Sasuke Uchiha hottest mother fudger alive (except maybe Gaara) liked me? Was she frikking kidding me?
"Oh Sweet merciful Mary are you having a laugh Ino?" I mumbled.
"I wish hun! But look really don't let me hold you back! You should totally go and ask him out I mean it's Sasuke Uchiha!" she sighed.
"Yeah but that really isn't fair on you Ino! I'm not going to do anything about this!" I replied in what I can only hope was a bit of a comforting voice.
"Well you do what you like Sak! Listen I'm tired so I'm gonna hit the sack your welcome to thumb through my Manga collection though!"
God what a tangled web destiny is weaving for me!
Wow that was the longest chapter yet!
And in case you haven't already realised I do very much have a large obsession with deathnote!
I want L's Babies (But not as much as Gaaras!)
Check out my deviant if you want further proof of mine obsession!
I want to hear what you think! Every single person that has read it! Whether you have an account on here or not! So please review and make me feel like devoting my evening to writing fanfic is worthwhile! XD
