Last time:
"Oh! Yes, by the way, Sakura-chan this is ------" Even before Naruto could finish his sentence, Sakura had already rushed towards the raven-haired man and hugged him so tight.
Sasuke's eyes widened for a fraction of a second before his face turned back to its stoic expression. He was going to push her away but before he could...
"Sai-niichan!" Sakura uttered.
SASUKE'S POV
Sai? SAI? That name again? It took freakin' months for people to get used to calling me by my real name and now I'm back to being called 'Sai' again? Sasuke hot-headedly pried Sakura's hands off his neck and pushed her away. "I'm not Sai. So don't. Call. Me. That." He snarled.
NORMAL POV
Sakura looked shocked at first. Then her expresion turned to that of someone hurt. Until finally, understanding. "I...uh... g-gomen---...?"
"Sasuke," Sasuke provided.
"Yes. Gomen, Sasu-chan!" She said cheerfully, putting back her smile on.
One of Sasuke's eyes twitched.
What the hell? Sasu-chan! Before he could say something, Naruto had already grabbed Sakura's shoulders, fully shifting her undivided attention to him.
"Since when did you arrive where've you been Why did you leave without telling anyone are you staying for good do you have a boyfriend? God, of course you do, look at you; so pretty! Is he okay? No? Lemme at him! Where's Sai-niichan by the way isn't he with you why did you call Sasuke 'Sai-niichan' anyway i mean sure they look alike and i'd mistaken Sasuke for Sai the first time i saw him too but you two were like together all the time weren't you? You shouldn't be able to mistake on for the other. Sakura-chan?" Naruto took a deep breath after his loooooong speech.
Sakura's eyes were as big as plates after hearing what Naruto had said. Sasuke sighed.
"Oooooohkaaayy.... You know, I honestly didn't understand anything you just said except for the fact that I'm pretty - thank you very much, by the way." Sakura uttered.
"Idiot."
A vain appeared at the side of Naruto's forehead. "WHAT DID YOU SAY, TEME?"
"Naru-chan! Don't be rude to him."Sakura butted.
Wow. You barely know the guy but you're already defending him. And from Naruto too. Her inner said.
Shut up.
"But Sakura-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" Naruto pouted. "He called me an idiot."
"You are," Sakura pointed.
Naruto raised a brow which made her continue. "-at times-"
"Most of the time." Sasuke corrected.
"Okay; most of the time," Sakura corroborated.
Are these two, like, ganging up on me or something? Naruto couldn't help but think.
"But!" Sakura continued, catching Naruto's attention. "Don't worry... Cause you won't be MY Naruto if you weren't an idiot and I most definately wouldn't want you any other way. The moment I befriended you, I had fully acknowledged that idiocy comes with the package and I whole-heartedly accepted it. So don't feel bad for being an idiot, it won't change my image of you, anyway."
"Really?" Naruto asked merrily.
Leave it to us to criticize Naruto but still end up making him happy.
It's a talent.
Sasuke inwardly praised Sakura for being able to manipulate Naruto's attitude. I never thought compliments and criticisms could mix.
"Sure." Sakura answered. "Now. If you could only repeat your questions clearly, I could answer them for you, no sweat."
Naruto nodded. "So... are you staying for good?" He decided this was the most important question. The other questions will just have to wait till later.
SAKURA'S POV
"... are you staying for good?" Naruto asked, hoping that his friend would stay.
Let's play with him a little. Inner Sakura said.
Yeah? How?
Act.
Sakura frowned and looked down at her feet. "I...uh..."
Even Sasuke was anticipating her answer.
Naruto grimaced. Although he didn't want to show it, he couldn't easily hide his disappointment.
"Kidding!" Sakura chuckled. "I'm staying. Next week, I'll start going to your school." She announced.
NORMAL POV
Naruto couldn't believe his ears. He already got the answer he wanted but there's no way of telling if his ears weren't playing tricks on him. He turned to Sasuke. "What did she say?"
Sasuke inwardly rolled his eyes. "Deaf idiot." He grumbled under his breath.
Sakura chuckled again. "I'm staying..."
Naruto beamed. "YEHEY! SAKURA-CHAN IS STAYING! I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL INO, HINATA-CHAN AND TENTEN ABOUT THIS!"
*ding dong...ding dong* (doorbell. hahaha! sorry. i know, the sound's so lame but please bear with me... XD)
"THAT'S PROBABLY THEM!" Naruto cheered. He turned to Sakura and Sasuke, "YOU TWO, WAIT HERE." and with that said, he went running out of his room, screaming "AAAAIIIIYYYYEEEEEE!" on the way.
Sasuke and Sakura stared at the door for a while and then at each other. There was an uncomfortable silence between the two because who wouldn't feel awkward being alone in a room with someone you didn't know? Sure, Sakura had hugged Sasuke and they both exhanged a few words a while ago but that was all just because of a small misunderstanding.
"Uh... Sasu-chan..." Sakura started in an attempt to make small talk.
"Don't call me that."Sasuke retorted.
"Sasuke-san?"
"Sasuke."
"Sasuke-kun, then!"
"Hn."
She beamed. "You seem like the silent and serious type. May i ask how you became friends with Naruto?"
Sasuke just stared at her for a while. "Ask the dobe." He muttered before turning his head to another direction.
SAKURA'S POV
"Ask the dobe."
"Eh?" Fine. If I knew you were so anti-social, I wouldn't have bothered talking to you in the first place.
You gotta admit, though; he's a hunk! Her inner screamed at her.
Yeah. Anda total jerk.
Hmmm... Come to think of it... Wasn't tall, dark and handsome your basic criteria for a boyfriend?
What! No way. He's an ass!
Yeah. I bet he's got some fine ass too!
That is soooooo totally not what I meant!
Really now? Her inner asked mockingly.
Yeah. So shut up and bug off!
SASUKE'S POV
What was that dobe thinking? Leaving us in a room when we barely know each other! Sasuke made a mental note to kill Naruto later. For now, he better make sure this girl won't start clinging all over him like the other crazed fangirls of his.
He turned his gaze back at the girl who seemed to be lost in her own world. She's cute.
Wait. Pause. What? Cute? Is that even on my vocabulary? Note to self: find all the dictionaries in our house and rip the pages with the word 'cute' in it.
He studied her features again. Green eyes. Long legs. Pale skin. Pink hair...
...
...
...
PINK HAIR?
NORMAL POV
"Hey," Sauske said in an emotionless voice
Sakura looked at him with a glare. "What?" She snapped with the same tone Sasuke used.
Easy, girl.
"You're hair color. Is it rea--"
"Its natural." Sakura said, clearly wanting to end the conversation.
Sasuke frowned. Whatever happened to the sweet girl she saw a while ago. "Hn."
"GUYS!" Naruto suddenly appeared. "That wasn't them. Just mom."
"Oh,"
"Hn,"
Naruto sweatdropped, sensing the dark atmosphere. Whatever could've happened between these two after I left? "Wh-what happened?"
"Your friend, Sasu-chan here, is being a jerk." Sakura stated as if it was the most normal thing in the world. (It is. XD)
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched. "Pinky was just being annoying."
A vain popped in Sakura's (normal-sized) forhead. "What the---"
Oh, he did not just call us pinky!
"What's wrong, pinky? Cat's got your tongue?" Sasuke said with a smirk.
Gasp. Oh he did not.
Yes he did.
This means war!
