Inspirational Painting

Chapter 4: Exhibition Sketch


"Nothing is missing, its only you." Sasuke's eyes narrowed "What do you mean?"

"You don't know who you should choose. If it should be your new found inspiration or your childhood friend."

Sasuke remained silent "I don't want to choose yet."

"Sasuke, sooner or later you'll need to choose between them." Naruto closed his eyes "Well enough of that! Is that your painting for the exhibit?"

Sasuke just nodded "Well good luck with that


Two days before the School Art Exhbit...

"Naruto, how come Sasuke didn't continue his drawing?" Sakura pouted "He just told it lost when she told him she likes him."

"Its actually because he doesn't know who the person he's heart truly desires. He thinks by painting one, he is betraying the other." Naruto muttered as Sakura wondered. "But, he will need to choose for his heart if not now, later. Either way, he'll need to choose. He needs to pick for his happiness for both him and his heart."

Naruto looked at Sakura "Sakura-chan, that's deep." Naruto muttered "But I get it. I told him that yesterday, when he was having doubts in painting." "He was painting!?" Naruto simply nodded "Though, he was able to finish it, by forgetting her at that time."

"Poor Sasuke, torn by two people. Not knowing which one is really for him" Naruto twitched "You make it sound like its normal." Naruto said as he smiled weakly 'He needs to choose from her and you' Sakura seeing this, told Naruto what's bothering her.

"You know, sometimes, I think you know something that I don't." Naruto smiled "Maybe your just thinking to much" but inside him 'I'm sorry, Sakura-chan, I can't tell you now. I know you'll be bothered if I tell you that he's falling for you. Though, even I don't know he really is.'. "If you say so..."

The bell then rang.

"The classes are starting, I guess" Sakura looked at Naruto "What's you next subject?"

"Physical Education with Gai." Sakura chuckled at naruto antics "His weird and I don't want to explain it."

"Mine is worse. Its Science with Orochimaru" Naruto shivered "He gives me the creeps and sends shivers in my spine!"

Naruto laughed loud "Well, want to skip it?" Sakura smiled and nodded "How about we go to the rooftop? If you want, why don't we eat my bentou box!"

"I heard when you once joined the cooking club, you were the best then! I want to taste the cooking magician's cooking!"

"You flatter me too much, Naruto" Sakura showed her 2 big bentou box. Eat all you want"


"Eating Sakura-chan's delicious bentou and a nice view! Life is good!" Sakura smiled "But Naruto, you haven't tasted it yet."

Naruto slowly took a piece and ate it slowly as tears fell. "I approve of you" Sakura twitched "You approve of me? In what exactly?"

Naruto held Sakura's hands with a smile "To be my bride! You cook better than angels!"

"Then girls will have no problems to attain the position to be your bride" Naruto shook his head "Its the cooking ability and if my feelings is mutual."

"So Naruto, you skipped our class just for this?" Naruto knows that voice, what's more the voice if fuming mad. Sakura seeing Naruto's discomfort and his terrified face, tried to change the topic. "Umm... Sasuke, want to try my bentou?"

Sasuke calmed down and took Sakura's offering. While Naruto on the other hand thanked Sakura in his mind. After they finished the bentou Sakura prepared, they talked about random stuff.

"So Sasuke, Naruto said that you finished you painting for the exhibit." Sasuke nodded "What exactly did you draw?" silence filled them.

"The girl I think I'm falling for smiling gently at the scenery in the park" he said 'Actually, I wanted to draw you standing and looking at the ferris wheel. But, that will just have to wait.'

"Who's the lucky girl?" Sasuke smirked "You'll just have to see"


Inside the art's club room in the same time at the same day...

"So this is what Sasuke is drawing for the exhbit." The male shadow figure memorize the unfinished sketch in the canvas. "Maybe I'll take it, after all, he did took the girl I love"

The shadow figure then started his own painting "A girl standing, looking at the ferris wheel with awe. He's a genius."

After finishing the finished duplicated copy of Sasuke's painting, he submitted it to the superintendent.


Later that day...

"Uchiha-san, why don't you look at the art's club submitted paintings?" Sasuke looked at his painting. "So Uchiha-san, when are you going to submit your work for the exhibit?"

"I'm not submitting anything." The superintendent looked at him. "Why is that?"

Sasuke didn't took his eyes from that painting.'Because he already stole it'
