A/N: I love all of you!!! Thank you for all those who reviewed ;) Currently…I'm trying my best to improve my writing more so all of my beloved readers would enjoy my story more. :D Anyway…I know the first 3 chapters were undeniably BORING since Sasuke and Sakura haven't been seeing or meeting each other yet. I just hope that the 4th chapter peaked your interest more :) So go and spread the word to your fellow readers of SASUSAKU to read this story 'kay? And tell them to be patient about the first chapters because from the 4th chapter and so on...it will be more on Sasuke AND Sakura. Take note of the "AND". So I won't make this longer anymore and let you all continue the next chapter of Your Guardian Angel. :D Enjoy! ;)
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 5
She is a Fallen Angel
I have fallen from sky,
Fallen to the ground,
I am the angel of sadness,
Angel of lost hopes,
Angel of lost dreams,
I am the fallen angel.
Such ethereal beauty…
…
It was too much…
…
To see an angel walking by him…
…
And to see that angel's eyes…
…
So bright and beautiful…
…
And those eyes met his.
The pink haired woman passed by him with a single glance and that was enough to make his heart skip a beat. And as the face of the beautiful woman plagued his mind…the familiar man with silver hair walked by him and put his hand on his right shoulder.
"Sasuke. How's it going?", and the silver haired man walked on without a glance as he followed the pink haired woman.
"Kakashi…it's been long." Sasuke said as he smirked. He continued walking towards the accounting office with an angel's face etched on his mind.
"Dashing young male wasn't he?" Kakashi said as he walked next to Sakura.
Sakura did not reply to what Kakashi said until they slid inside the black BMW once more.
"Where to now Sakura-san?" the driver asked.
"Home."
"Hai."
And the car moved as it drove towards the Haruno estate. As always…Sakura stayed silent during the drive. Still remembering the face of the man she saw in school.
'He seems familiar…' Sakura thought as she tried to remember where she has seen the face of the handsome young man she just came across with a while ago.
Suddenly remembering Kakashi's friendly greet to the young man before she turned to Kakashi who was seated once more in the passenger's seat.
"You seem to know that young man a while ago." Sakura said in a monotone voice.
"Hm? Suddenly interested now are we?" Kakashi said as he smiled at Sakura.
"I was just asking."
"It sure didn't sound like a question to me Sakura-san."
"Shut up. I was curious."
Kakashi chuckled at his client's slightly childish behavior as she scowled at him for teasing her at something she would usually call trivial.
"I think you forgot from what agency I came from Sakura-san."
"Agency?"
"Hai. The Uchiha Security Agency. Where the world's best securities, bodyguards, spies, detectives and etc come from." Kakashi said as he looked at the book he always loved to read.
"Ah. I see." Sakura said as she stared outside the window once more.
"My best friend is Uchiha Obito. His cousin is Uchiha Sasuke who is the younger son of the very owner of the agency. I've known them for quite a while already. That young man we just met a while ago was Uchiha Sasuke."
And then it dawned to Sakura…
"Huh? Oh you mean Sasuke-kun? He's the guy I was telling you about through e-mail. Uchiha Sasuke."
…Uchiha Sasuke was Keiko's lover.
Sasuke slowed down his car as the gates of their mansion opened for his car to enter. Once he stepped out of the car, a guard drove the car to park it in the mansion's basement where all the other cars are.
Sasuke stepped into the mansion and walked upstairs as he clumsily put his car keys into his desk and threw himself onto his bed.
He paid the tuition fee that his father was too lazy to do.
'Although I'm not regretting it…' he thought as his mind flew back to the pink haired woman.
'Now that I think about it…is she Kakashi's client?' he heard a knock on his door as he sat up from his bed and saw his father coming in.
"Have you paid it?" his father asked.
"Of course father. What do you expect me to do with the money? Gamble it?" Sasuke said as he quirked an eyebrow.
"No…do you gamble?"
"Jeez dad…I drink but I don't gamble and I'm sure you know that." Sasuke said.
"Of course…of course…I was just curious."
"Yeah…sure." And he smirked at his father in which he knows will annoy him.
"Don't smirk at me like that. Anyway…Keiko called a while ago but since you weren't here I told her that you'll call her back." His father said as he held the knob of the door to go out.
"And lunch is almost ready according to your mother so don't make the phone call to long."
"Yes father. I understand." Sasuke said as he grabbed his phone and looked for Keiko's number. Once he found it, he pressed it to connect to her phone.
"Hello?" a soft voice answered his call as he knew who it was.
"Keiko."
"Sasuke-kun? Wow! You called right away!"
"Hn. Dad told me you called. So…what's up?"
"Nothing much. I just want to say hi."
Sasuke smirked when he heard this.
"Really now? Are you sure you're not missing me?"
"Shut up Sasuke-kun! And stop smirking!"
"How would you know I'm smirking?"
"It's- just-……..gaah! I just think you really are okay?!"
Sasuke chuckled at his girlfriend's little outburst. Even if he can't see what she looks like right now he knew very well how cute she could be when she's angry.
"Gomen…gomen." Sasuke said as he chuckled lightly.
"Whatever Sasuke-kun. Anyway…you remember the cousin I was telling you about before right?"
"The one from France?"
"Yes! Well…she's here already and we're going to mass together later! I'm so excited! I haven't spent time with her for so long already! Although she did sleep over…" Keiko just babbled on about her cousin to Sasuke as his mind suddenly flew back to the pink haired woman he saw.
'Damn it. I'm already talking to Keiko and I'm still thinking about that woman.' Sasuke thought as a slight blush was forming on his face. He couldn't deny it how beautiful the girl was. He can even tell that the woman he saw was a lot more beautiful than Ino herself.
"…and my God! She's even more beautiful than before!" he heard Keiko say.
'…the pink haired girl was definitely beautiful.' He thought. Realizing what his mind just spoke made him slap himself.
"Sasuke-kun?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you alright? You seem a bit quiet."
"I'm fine Keiko…I'm just a little tired since Dad made me pay the tuition fee so early on a Sunday."
"You can't always oversleep you know…"
"Hai…hai…I know." A knock was heard on his door as he saw Itachi poking his head into his room.
"Oi. Little brother…it's lunch time so move your ass down the dining room already." Itachi said as he smirked when he saw Sasuke scowling at the name he was calling him.
"Alright aniki. I'll just end the phone call with Keiko."
"Ah. Say hi to Keiko for me then." Itachi said as he closed the door.
"Itachi says hello." Saske said as he leaned in once more to the phone.
"Oh…was that Itachi-nii-san?"
"Yeah. Anyway…I need to go Keiko…mother calls for us to eat already. I'll see you tomorrow okay?" Sasuke said.
"Alright. Bye bye Sasuke-kun!"
"Ja."
And he closed his phone shut.
"Ah…Sasu-chan. You finally came down." Sasuke's mother chimed as he saw her son sit himself next to her.
"Gomen for coming down a little late. I made a phone call with Keiko." Sasuke explained as the helpers served some food for him.
"Not to worry…now shall we all eat?" his father asked clearly looking forward to eating his wife's cooked meal.
"Itadakimasu." And the family of four began their meal.
Meanwhile…Sasuke was contemplating about the Keiko's cousin.
'She did say before that her name was Haruno Sakura. Although Haruno sounds familiar but I can't put my mind to it.'
He heard his parents bickering about something but his mind was filled with the curiosity about Keiko's cousin.
"Tch. Mother, Father…please. Stop flirting while we are eating." Itachi said.
"We are not flirting!" their parents shouted childishly.
"And now you're both acting childish."
"We are not!"
'Man…will this keep on going?' Sasuke thought so he decided to just pop the question about the Haruno girl.
'Maybe that will make them shut up and I'll be able to know more about Haruno.'
"Ne…'kaa-san, 'tou-san…Do you know anything about the name Haruno?" Sasuke asked. The whole table fell silent as they all looked at Sasuke with surprised looks.
"Sweetheart…why did you suddenly ask that?" his mother asked.
"Well…Keiko told me that her cousin came back from France. So I asked her what her cousin's name is. She told me it was Haruno Sakura…it sounded familiar to me but I don't recall any information about the family name Haruno." Sasuke explained.
"Fugaku?" his mother said as she looked at her husband who was setting his spoon and fork down the plate.
"Haruno is the clan that owns HIME." Fugaku said.
"I'm sure you know what HIME is little brother." Itachi said as he too listened to his father.
"Yes…the modeling agency." Sasuke said.
"We can't tell the whole story right now but we can tell you that the owner's family met a tragedy at different times. Right now, the Elderly Council of the clan is managing the company but once the daughter of the owner reaches the age of 20, she'll take over the company. The daughter's name is Haruno Sakura." Fugaku explained as he looked at Sasuke.
"Then why can't you tell me about the tragedy?" Sasuke asked.
"It's highly confidential. The clan does not like any leakage about the tragedy that happened. Besides…I did not know Keiko has the blood of a Haruno." Mikoto said as she too helped in the explaining of the question asked by her son.
"How come aniki knows about it?" Sasuke asked.
"Because he's been in the works of the agency…of course the news about the tragedy would reach him." Mikoto said.
Fugaku sighed as he looked at his son who made a disappointing look. He knew he wanted to know badly but the information was trusted to them by the Elderly Council of the Haruno clan to keep it within the agency only. No more. No less.
"Sasuke…you have to undersatand. We would like to tell you but you're not yet working under the agency. The only person you can ask that question and get some decent answers is Keiko." Fugaku explained.
"I know Father. I understand." Sasuke said as they all continued eating.
The rest of the day went on normally for Sakura. She met up with Keiko and her parents in the same chapel they would always go and celebrated the mass all together. Nothing much happened for the afternoon. She didn't mention to Keiko that she coincidentally met Uchiha Sasuke while enrolling as a transfer student in the same school.
"Welcome back Sakura-san. Dinner is ready whenever you like it." Jin said to Sakura who was inside her room looking at the current status of the company.
"Hai. I'll be down in 5 minutes. Tell Kakashi-san to go on without me." Sakura replied typing in a few words in her laptop.
"Very well then Sakura-san." As soon as Jin left, Sakura took her phone and dialed in a number. After three rings, a female voice answered the other line.
"Hello?"
"Kurenai-san."
"Sakura-chan?"
"Hai."
"You came back from France! I'm surprised you called me! So how was the school you entered? I bet you're in a whole new level of dancing!"
"So-so."
"Still untalkative as ever? You remind me too much of your father you know." Kurenai chuckled as she remembered Sakura's father who also talks the way she does.
"About the report you sent me Kurenai-san."
"Ah. Yes. I figured that you may want to study a bit about the company already. There are 4 years left before you take over right? So might as well train you a little. Is it okay with you?"
"It's fine. It seems that there is no problem with the net profit of the company. Are the employees doing well?"
"Hai! Everything's great Sakura although by the month of October we'll need new faces for the modeling. I already asked Kaito-san if it's alright to advertise the need of HIME for new models. He said it was alright but since you're the incoming president, I wanted to tell you this as well. What do you think Sakura?"
"It's fine as long as those incoming models will undergo certain 'auditions'. I think you know what I mean. I intend to let this modeling company to stay as an agency where every employee and worker has good character."
"Of course Sakura-san. Well-mannered models is our trademark."
"There's something I'm meaning to ask."
"Go ahead Sakura-chan!"
"Did you ask Izumi-shinseki to take over the company after Father died?"
"Yes. Although she refused."
"Did you ask her why?"
"She was more dedicated to her family Sakura-chan. She wanted to live a normal life that's why she refused. So she trusted Kaito-san with the company until you come in age to take over. Besides…Kaito-san is a trustworthy man. Not only is he the nephew of the head of the Elderly council of your clan but he is the best friend of your father. I'm sure you trust him as well right Sakura-chan?"
"Hai. Arigatou. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go now."
"Hai! Thank you for your time Sakura! And welcome back to Konoha." Kurenai said in a gentler voice.
"Arigatou. It's nice to be back as well." And Kurenai heard a click after Sakura said those words.
"And I just hope that you'll restore your smile in the place where you lost it as well Sakura-chan."
July 23, 2008 Tuesday
"Ohayou Sasuke-kun!!!" Keiko called as she walked nearer to Sasuke who was beside his car.
"Ohayou. Ready to go?"
"Hai!"
Sasuke and Keiko entered the car and drove towards school.
"Guess what Sasuke-kun!!!!"
"You're cheery. Is there something good today that should be expected?"
"Yes! Because Sakura-chan is joining us today in school! She'll be graduating junior and senior high school with us! Isn't it great?" Keiko said feeling jumpy all over. She was happy that Sakura is going to study in the same school she's studying as well. In that case, everyone we'll get to meet her cousin plus Sakura might meet someone who could change her emotionless life. Keiko giggled.
'Maybe Sakura could fall in love! Kya! That'll be great!'
"Uh Keiko…why the hell are you giggling by yourself?" Sasuke asked finding it weird to see the girl next to him giggling by herself.
"Nothing Sasuke-kun! I just thought of something." Keiko answered.
"You must really like your cousin huh?"
"She's practically my sister slash best friend. Besides…it's been three years since she's back here in Konoha. So I'm really excited to spend some time with her too." Keiko answered with a smile.
Meanwhile….Sasuke has not forgotten about the pink haired girl he saw. It led him to the thought about the question he has been meaning to ask Keiko.
"Keiko. There's something I want to ask and I want straight answers." Sasuke said seriously as he entered the school's parking lot.
"What is it?"
"Tell me about the Haruno clan."
Keiko was surprised with his question. She didn't expect for him to be curious about certain information about her family. Sasuke parked the car and stopped the ignition. HE took the keys out but stayed inside the car waiting for Keiko's answer.
"Sasuke-kun. Why are you suddenly asking?"
"Because I'm familiar with the family name Haruno and my family is keeping some valuable information about the clan from me. I asked them why but they said I'm not supposed to know yet unless I'm working under the agency already." Sasuke explained.
"I can't tell you things about my family right now Sasuke-kun."
"Why not?"
"It's too private. Sakura-chan…she doesn't like it when people are talking about her family behind her back."
"She won't know Keiko. I'm just cc curious."
"Gomen Sasuke-kun. Maybe I'll tell you sometime but not now. Okay?"
"Fine."
"Your cousin is studying here? Today?" Tenten asked Keiko.
The whole gang met up on a table located in the garden of the school grounds. It was not that far away to the back entrance of the school. Some students would also hang around in the same garden to read a book or simply chat with their friends though the table that the gang was staying in was a bit isolated from the rest of the tables in the garden.
"Yeah! But I don't know which class she'll be staying in."
"Your cousin from France?!" Ino asked excitedly.
"Yes Ino…the one from France." Keiko replied dully.
"Did you know I really want to go to France!!!!???!!!" Ino squealed.
"You say it everyday you troublesome woman." Shikamaru said.
"But Shika-kun! I really want to go!!!"
"Then go."
"I can't!"
"Because of the untrustworthy maids in your mansion?"
"Ye-Wait! How did you know about that?" Ino asked as she eyed Neji suspiciously.
"Like Shikamaru said. You tell us every damn day."
"Pft. Asshole."
"OOOOOOIIII!!!!!! OHAYOU!!!!"
"And more chaos comes." Sasuke says.
"Hey! Did you guys hear!!! A new girl will come in today!!!"
"Will you stop shouting in my ear you dobe?!"
"TEME!"
"Okay guys enough. Anyway Naruto the new girl you might be talking abo-" and the sound of the bell was heard through out the school.
"Come on guys. We all need to go to our class now." Hinata said.
"Okay Hinata-chan! I'll walk you to your class ok?" Naruto offered as he grinned at Hinata. Hinata meanwhile blushed at the sweet offer from Naruto.
"O-okay Naruto-kun."
"See ya guys later!"
Everyone separated and went to their respective homeroom classes. Hinata's homeroom class is supervised by Asuma. She takes the same class with Shikamaru and Ino.
Sasuke's homeroom is with Neji and Tenten under Gai. While Keiko's homeroom was under Shizune. Naruto however was under Iruka so after walking Hinata to her homeroom class with Ino and Shikamaru following after, he ran to his own homeroom class making it just in time before he gets a tardy slip.
"Wooh! It's a Tuesday and I haven't gotten a single tardy this week!" Naruto said happily as he walked towards his chair. Next to his table was occupied by one of his homeroom classmates named Sai. Pale skinned, black eyes…he looks almost like Sasuke except for the hair which is down instead of spiky hair.
"Hey dickless. You heard about the rumor?" Sai said.
"You asshole! Stop calling me dickless!"
Sai chuckled at his seatmate's antique.
"Sheesh. Can't even take a harmless joke. Anyway…did you hear about it?" Sai said as he showed his fake smile.
"Of course you asshole. But do you know which homeroom class she'll be joining?" Naruto asked.
"Nope. No idea. Some students claimed that they saw the new student already." Sai said.
"Really? What did they say about the new student?"
"Aside from being a woman…they say she's very beautiful."
"Really now? More beautiful than Ino?" Naruto whispered knowing that Ino was the most beautiful girl in the whole campus. She had a fan club and knew very well that the members were quite sensitive when some people would compare Ino''s beauty to someone else. Unfortunately for Naruto…some of those members are his classmates in his class.
"Honestly saying…they say she is way more beautiful than Ino." And that made Naruto shut up.
'Looks like another dream girl will enter the school.' Naruto thought when the opening of the door alerted the students and returned to their respected seats. Iruka came in with the class record for the attendance.
"Good morning everyone! I want all of you to stay silent until I call your name. Is that clear?" Iruka said.
"Hai!"
"Good."
Iruka started of the attendance as Naruto started talking to Sai again.
"Hey Sai. You think there's a possibility that the new girl would join our class?" Naruto whispered. Sai's fake smile showed up again as he looked at Naruto.
"You know I was thinking of the same thing. Although I hope to meet the new girl I mean the next seat to your left is empty." Sai whispered back.
"Hey you're right! Then we can become friends with the new girl!"
"Right there you are dickless!"
"Asshole shut up!"
Sai chuckled again as he teased Naruto with the nickname he gave him.
"There's another thing that I heard about the new girl." Sai said.
"What about it?" Naruto asked.
"Well she has pi-"
"Okay! Now there's something I would like to say to you all! Starting today…we'll be having an addition to our class!"
Everyone started to murmur when they heard what Iruka said. Almost everyone in the school heard that a new student will be joining the student body and it made people curious about the incoming student.
"Okay! Everyone stay silent! I know you all heard about the rumor of a new student coming in and I know that the school rarely allows enrollees to start the school if they enrolled late and have to start in the middle of the school year. It seems like the principal made an exception since the population of your batch is in need of at most 5 more students. Now if you'll allow me, I'd like you all to meet your new classmate for the next following days of this school year. You may now come in." Iruka said as he smiled towards the door of the classroom which slid open revealing the new student.
Everyone looked at the student entering the room. What everyone saw made their breathing stop for a while as they stared at the beautiful angel in front of them.
"Everyone…meet Haruno Sakura, your new classmate."
"Ohayou minna-san. It's a pleasure to meet you all." Sakura said in an unemotional voice as she bowed down in front of the class.
"Sakura-chan here just came from France although she was born Japanese sut since it's her first time studying in a Japanese high school I would like you all to make herself feel comfortable of a new environment. Is that clear?" Iruka asked as he eyed his students who were all stunned at the beauty in front of them.
'I can't blame them. I also had the same reaction when I met her a while ago.' Iruka thought.
"Well Sakura-chan. You can sit beside Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto, please raise your hand."
Naruto didn't hear what Iruka just told him. He was staring at the pink haired girl in front of the class.
'Holy shit. She's stunningly beautiful.' Naruto thought.
"Naruto…"
'Such beautiful pink hair…'
"Naruto."
'Bright emerald eyes…'
"NARUTO."
'Perfectly shaped body…'
"UZUMAKI NARUTO!!!!"
"Huh?"
Everyone broke in laughter at Naruto's dumbfounded face as he looked at Iruka's red face which was probably from anger.
"I suggest you participate more in class Naruto if you don't want to receive your first detention slip for this week." Iruka said.
"Sorry Iruka-sensei. I was lost in my thoughts." Naruto answered sheepishly.
"Obviously. Anyway…Sakura-san will be sitting next to you." Iruka turned to Sakura as he smiled at the girl beside him. "I'm sure you know who Uzumaki Naruto is with all that racket ne Sakura-san?"
"Hai. Arigatou." Sakura said as she made her way towards the seat next to the blonde boy. Her table was located at the left side of the room, right next to the window showing the beautiful garden of the school. As she settled her bag on her left side and sat down, Iruka announced a few reminders to the class.
Sakura simply stared out of the window enjoying the view when the boy sitting next to her tapped her on her shoulder making her turn her head to the blonde boy.
"Hello there Sakura-chan! I'm Uzumaki Naruto! It's nice to meet you!" Naruto said with his fox like grin stretching out a hand to Sakura. Sakura accepted the handshake replying with a simple nod to Naruto. As always, her face showed no emotions at all.
"So Sakura-chan. Do you know anyone from this school? 'Cause if you don't I can help you become familiar with the school facilities and such." Naruto offered.
"That's kind of you but I do know someone. Thank you." Sakura replied.
"Really? So you're from France right?" Naruto was replied by Sakura with another nod.
"Is it nice in France? How come you studied there instead here even if you're Japanese? Do you know how to speak French?" Naruto asked one after the other making Sakura raise her delicate right eyebrow at him.
"You remind me of a friend back in France." Sakura said. The bell rung signaling for the next period that is about to start.
"Really????? Why did you say that Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked as he watched Sakura scoop up her time table looking for what period will come after homeroom.
"Because he is loud and annoyingly persistent like you." Sakura replied seeing that the next period was Math taught by Asuma.
"Oh…Gomene Sakura-chan I didn't mean to-"
"I didn't mean it to be a bad thing. My cousin once told me that people like you could help me loosen up a little." Sakura said as she looked out the window.
Naruto's eyes widened a little hearing something nice (in her own way) from a stranger who just met him a few minutes ago. That thought made him smile…not a foxy grin…but a genuine smile.
"Thank you Sakura-chan. It's been a long time since someone said something nice to me you know." Naruto confessed.
40 minutes later…
"OOOOIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!"
Sasuke sighed as he closed his locker seeing his best friend grinning to him like some kind of retarded idiot.
'Well he IS an idiot…and retarded.' Sasuke thought.
"Guess what Teme!!!"
"What?"
"Guess first!"
"You didn't get a detention slip?"
"No-wait. How did you know!"
"I guessed."
"Well that's not the answer but still it's right. Anyway…the rumored new girl!"
"Yeah…what about her?"
"She's my classmate!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND seatmate as well!!!! Man! She was so beautiful TEME!!!! Gawd! I bet if you see her your jaws will drop!!!! She was also nice …well in her own way but still! Her name is Sa-"
"Geez…you're beinf troublesome again Naruto. I can practically hear you across the hallway." Shikamaru appeared as he leaned onto the lockers next to Sasuke.
"So what the hell are you babbling about you idiot?"
"You lazy ass! Don't call me an idiot!"
"Troublesome…"
"Anyway…her name i-"
"Heya guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the three boys turned to the female voice seeing Keiko running towards them.
"Keiko. Don't scream along the hallways." Sasuke said allowing Keiko to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Sorry! But I am so psyched about you guys meeting my cousin!!!"
"You're cousin?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah. The one from France. Hey…where's Ino and Hinata? They're your classmates right?" Keiko asked.
"They went to the comfort room. They'll meet us in the cafeteria."
"Okay! Hold up! I haven't told you about my seatmate yet!!!!!" Naruto shouted.
"Seatmate? You mean Sai?" Keiko asked.
"NO! I have a new seatmate and her name is Sa-" he was cut off again when Keiko suddenly threw her arms in front of him and Sasuke with a wide grin on her face while she was looking at something…well someone.
"Keiko! What the hell! You smacked our faces!" Sasuke said rubbing his nose.
"SAKURA-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Keiko screamed as she ran towards a pink haired girl and glomped her from behind. The pink haired girl almost lost her balance if Keiko didn't pull her back.
"Keiko. Stop attacking me." The girl said. At that time, Naruto recognized the pink hair immediately and practically shouted her name as well. Only it was louder.
"SAAAAAAAAAKUURAAAAAAAAA-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Sakura twitched as she heard the impossibly loud voice.
"Naruto."
"I'm so glad!!!!! You still know my name!!!!!!!"
"You really are like him you know."
"Your friend in France? Ooh! Ooh! Why do you say that now???"Naruto asked with his wide grin.
"Because you're both idiots."
Keiko sweat dropped as she saw Naruto's eyes go wide. "Eh heh heh! Sakura-chan! I didn't know you know Naruto already." Keiko said trying to ease up the atmosphere.
"He's my annoyingly loud seatmate in class." Sakura replied as she turned around to face Keiko. What she saw behind Keiko surprised her a little because there he was…Uchiha Sasuke. The man she came across here in school last Sunday.
Sasuke heard Naruto scream the pink haired girl's name. He saw Keiko hugging the same girl from behind but he was staring at the pink haired girl's actions at how she interacted with the two.
'It's her. The girl I saw this Sunday.' He thought as he continued to stare at her. Her back was facing him unable for him to see her face.
"Oi. Sasuke. Are you alright?" Shikamaru asked as he looked at his stoic friend whose face suddenly grew interested.
"It's her." He heard Sasuke say.
"What?"
"The beautiful girl I saw here in school this Sunday." And he thought Sasuke had no hormones.
'Wow…So Sasuke notices other girls as well other than Keiko.' Shikamaru smirked as he turned his head seeing the pink haired girl had fully faced them and saw that she too was looking at the Uchiha beside him.
'I can't blame Sasuke. That girl is a real beauty…like an angel.' Shikamaru thought as he looked at Sakura. He watched as the girl was pulled by Keiko towards them with Naruto tailing behind.
"Sasuke-kun. Shikamaru. This is my cousin who came from France. This is Haruno Sakura And Sakura-chan, these are some of my friends. Nara Shikamaru you know Naruto and of course Uchiha Sasuke." Keiko introduced them all as Shikamaru and Sasuke stared at Sakura while Sakura stared at Sasuke.
"It's nice to finally meet you Uchiha Sasuke." All of them were surprised as Sakura looked intently at Sasuke who smirked at her and extended an arm.
"Likewise…Haruno Sakura. I've heard some things about you." Sasuke said as Sakura reached for his hand and shook it with him.
"Same here Sasuke-san. It's a pleasure meeting you as well Nara-san." Sakura said turning to Shikamaru who was shocked with the interaction between the two.
"Ah yes. Same here Sakura-san. Please…no formalities…Shikamaru is fine with me."
"Shikamaru it is then."
"Wait a minute. You know Sasuke-kun? And Sasuke-kun…you also know Sakura-chan?" Keiko asked confused with the seemingly familiar interaction between Sasuke and Sakura. Naruto was shocked as well seeing his best friend being friendly with a girl he just met other than Keiko, Hinata, Ino and Tenten.
"Yeah! What Keiko-chan said!" Naruto said crossing his arms vefore his chest.
"I've heard of the name Haruno before and decided to ask my parents. Plus Keiko told me some things about Sakura-san." Sasuke explained.
"Keiko as well told me things about Sasuke-san. Kakashi-san however came from the agency that Sasuke-san's family owns." Sakura explained.
"Oh. Kakashi-san is from Uchiha Security Agency?" Keiko asked.
"Who the hell is Kakashi?" Naruto asked starting to get confused.
"Sakura-chan's personal bodyguard." Keiko replied.
"Yes…Kakashi-san came from that agency." Sakura replied.
"Oh…"
"So…"
"Troublesome…if we're just going to stand here and waste our 30 minute break for some snacks, I think I'll head to the cafeteria now."
"Oh shit. You're right. There's only 20 minutes left. Come on guys! I want to eat 10 bowls of ramen!!!!" Naruto shouted.
"Okay! Ne Sakura-chan…why don't you join us?" Keiko said.
"Yeah! That's a great idea! That way, you'll get to meet the others as well!" Naruto said. Sakura twitched at Naruto's loud voice.
"There's more of you?" she asked.
"There's 4 more." Shikamaru said.
"Is there someone who's as loud as he is among those 4?" Sakura asked as she pointed her thumb at Naruto.
"HEY!"
"Yeah. Another blonde but this time it's a woman." Sasuke replied as they all started walking towards the cafeteria. Keiko held onto Sakura's wrist just incase she tried to walk away.
"A troublesome woman but more tolerable than him." Shikamaru said as he looked at Naruto.
"Will you guys stop pointing and looking at me!"
"Huh. Troublesome it is."
