Killing Loneliness
(A/N: Hiya Dudes and Dudettes. So I am beyond hyped up on like six Iced Lattes and a whole heck of a lot of candy. So I decided to post a little early. YAY! I put up the warning but this chapter isn't as sexual as the last one. I guess it's more because this is a naughty story I felt compelled to do it. Anyway on to the story. )
I do not own Naruto and all rights belong to Masashi Kishimoto. =3
BEWARE OF EXTREME LEMONADE AND LIMEADE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Chapter Two: Back to Normal
Sakura yawned and rolled over. Her eyes fluttered open to meet familiar surroundings. With a sigh she pulled her blanket tighter around her body and buried her face into her pillow. Sad to say she wasn't surprised she'd wake up in her bed. He'd never let her spend the night with him. That would imply he had feelings, not to mention if Ino caught them she'd be beyond upset.
"How did he get me in the house though?" She wondered aloud.
The front door was locked and she'd left the spare key in her room. She rolled onto her side puzzled. It was at that moment she noticed the white sheer curtain rustling in the early morning breeze. Annoyed she jumped off her bed and closed the window, her heart racing at the thought of Sasuke in her room.
"He never stays though." She whispered, glancing out her window.
Her mood soon sobered and her eyes narrow out of anger. Her dreary mood was short lived, once she glanced out her window and saw a head full of messy blond hair. It was Naruto, her childhood friend as well as Sasuke's. She smiled briefly, before slipping into her favorite jeans and red long sleeved shirt. She shut her door behind her and bound down the stairs. She made it to the front door and opened it just as he was raising his hand to knock. His blue eyes shimmered in the bright morning sun.
"Sakura!" He cried a grin so wide it filled his face.
"Good morning, Naruto." She greeted with a smile, "You're early this morning. I haven't even started on breakfast yet."
The blond haired teen gave her a sheepish smile, before lifting a white paper bag and a cardboard cut tray. Sakura squealed with delight before dragging her childhood friend through the front door. She quickly shooed him in the direction of the kitchen before shutting the door. She couldn't help but grin as she followed the hall and entered the kitchen.
The smell of freshly brewed coffee, fluffy hunny coated donuts and crispy bacon assaulted her senses and made her all but drool. She poked her head into the spacious room and watched while her neighbor laid out the spoils of their favorite little diner on her table. The second she noticed the bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches wrapped in white paper she almost started crying. The blond knew her so well.
"Have I told you lately how much I love you?" Sakura spoke softly, as she plopped down in her chair across from the blond.
He smirked, "Ah you'd say that to anyone who brought you food."
"Ah, are you calling me a pig?" She almost sounded hurt.
He winked a blue eye at her, "Never in a million years."
The two ate their food rather quickly, while chatting about the current gossip going around their school and whatever else struck their interest. Since the blond was best buddies with a certain dreamy ebony hair Uchiha he was automatically in the popular crowd. Sure it also help he was on the basketball team and the second fasted runner on the track team.
"Oh I forgot to ask," Sakura spoke up after swallowing her last bit of her sandwich, "How is Hinata?"
"Oh…uh she's just fine." Naruto stammered, his cheeks a deep scarlet, "She's been busy lately interning at her father's company so we haven't seen much of each other. But other than that she's good."
Sakura nodded and forced a smile, all the while trying to not look to envious. Naruto knew very little about Sakura and Sasuke's relationship. To put it bluntly, he knew nothing of their arrangement, just that she like the Uchiha but he didn't feel the same. He also knew that Sakura wasn't pleased with the fact her now ex-best friend was dating him.
"I'm happy for you." She finally said.
Sakura and Ino used to be the best of friends, their mothers worked together at a little flower shop they opened together. It wasn't until the Uchiha's moved into Konoha and the youngest son started attending the same middle school as the two, that they had a falling out. Sakura didn't think it was smart for two girls to be friends when they both had the same love interest.
Sad to say, she missed her chance when the blond asked him out their first day as freshman in high school and he said yes. Now Ino Yamanaka was the one who carried the drop dead gorgeous boy.
Sakura sighed,
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked, his words laced with worry.
Naruto's deep voice brought the rosette teen from her depressing musings and back to her equally pitiful existence. One with hot and steamy nights and long drawn out days that seemed to drag on even longer now. The thought made her sigh again, before she waved a dismissive hand in his face and faked a smile.
"Nothing at all, I'm just fine." She lied.
Naruto cocked an eyebrow at her, before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before exhaling slowly. He hated it when she lied to him. He wasn't as dense as everyone thought he was. He figured out of everyone she knew, he'd be one of the ones she could trust the most. Maybe he was mistaken.
The second the blond opened his eyes, he noticed Sakura staring outside through the window over the sink. Her face was unusually pale and her expression was pained. Naruto followed her gaze and noticed a certain Uchiha and long haired blond walking closely together down the sidewalk heading towards the Uzumaki house.
Sasuke had a lazy arm slung over her shoulder. He leaned closer to her and whispered something into her ear. The blond giggled from behind her hand, before kissing him softly on the lips. He smiled softly at her, before dropping his arm from her shoulder and lacing their fingers together so they could hold hands.
"Sakura-"
"I'm not feeling very good Naruto." She said cutting him off, "You should head out without me. Tell Kakashi I have a cold or something."
Naruto nodded and watched Sakura until she disappeared up the stairs.
