I decided to come out with this chapter as soon as I can, since I came out with the other chapter later.
Here's the story!
Please Read the stuff at the bottom luvs.
Sorry if the spellings shitty, I read over it but I might not have caught everything...;
"..shit.." Aiku's eye's widened. She looked away abruptly, turning the other way and dancing. She could let her temporary sensei ruin this for her. Aiku needed that money.
She could tell his eye's were burning into her back, but she ignored it, doing anything she could to satisfy the customers on the other side.
" Something wrong,Kakashi?" Kurenai asked, waved her hand quickly in-front of Kakashi's face, pulling back as soon as she got his attention in fear of getting burned from his extreme glare.
"..No, I'm good..Guys, I think I'm gonna call it a night.." Kakashi stood up from the booth.
"But it's only been ten minutes!" Asuma stated.
"Eh, I'm tired. Later!" He pooffed away before they could say anything.
Asuma sighed.
"So..wanna go take some shots?" Asuma turned to Kurenai.
"..Sure." She shrugged, following him to the bar.
--
Aiku sighed heavily, sitting on the platform collecting her money.
"Yes! I got enough!" She smiled.
"Oi, they're closing. Do you have enough?" Rein asked, helping her down from the platform.
"Yes! I can't believe it! So, do you think I could go pick up the necklace now?" Aiku answered.
"Of course! Let's go!" Rein started pulling Aiku to the door.
"Wait! Let me slip on my sandals..I can't run in heels.." Aiku stopped.
"Oh..heheheh.." Rein rubbed the back of her head.
--
Aiku smiled as Rein handed her the bag with everything she purchased.
Aiku had extra money, so she decided to buy her whole team gifts.
"Later!" Aiku called to Rein as she left the store, walking onto the sidewalk.
She zipped up her small coat and stuffed her free-hand in her pocket.
There was a good five blocks to her apartment, and she wasn't looking forward to walking in the cold.
Aiku walked in a daze, her mind running through the days events, and what she was going to do next.
Aiku turned around quickly when she felt someone grab her arm.
"Sasuke! You scared the crap out of me!" Aiku took a deep breath to calm herself down. She wrinkled her nose as she saw him smirk.
"So what are you out here for?" Aiku asked after her breath returned to it's normal pace.
"I had to run to the store." Sasuke motioned to the bag in hand.
"What about you?" He asked.
"I. uh...was buying presents.." "t's not entirely a lie."Aiku thought as she shifted her feet.
Sasuke lifted his eyebrow and cocked his head to the side, in such a way that he still looked elegant, yet..assholeish. Aiku smiled sadly to herself. "Just like his brother.." she thought.
"Oh really?" Sasuke asked smirking.
"..Yeah..really.." Aiku looked around nervously.
" I think you're lying."
"Not-uh!" Aiku responded childishly.
"So what were you really doing?" Sasuke asked.
"Tch. I'm not telling you." Aiku stuck her tongue out, crossing her arms.
"Will you tell me now?" Sasuke whispered into her ear from behind her. Aiku's eye's widened,half in fear and half in happiness. The last time someone had whispered to her like that was..
"Leaving so soon..?" Itachi whispered, kunai to her neck.
"I..Itachi!"
Aiku shook her head, blinking herself out of her reverie.
"..So?" Sasuke asked again.
"..I was--"
"Sasuke-teme?" Sasuke and Aiku heard a voice from the side, turning their heads.
Sasuke immediately realized Aiku, his hands turning to his pockets.
"Naruto! It's not what it looks like!"
"Right,and Sasuke was just helping you up." Naruto scowled, running off.
"Damnit! Naruto!" Aiku called after him.
"Damn.." she mumbled.
There was a small lapse of silence between the young Uchiha and Aiku, before she remembered what was in the bag.
"Sasuke! I have a present for you." She said as she rummaged through her bag.
.Sasuke debated to either stay or run. He hoped to kami-sama it was some kind of..fangirl thing..He shuddered. (1)
"Here! It's not wrapped, but I wanted to give it to you so I could see the look on you're face." Aiku smiled.
"Open it open it open it!" She rushed him.
"Hn. Fine." He grumbled, grabbing the box from her pale hands. As he peered at his contents, he saw a necklace. It was a silver-chained necklace, with a silver Uchiha symbol on the end.
"Didn't cost a lot of money to get this personilized?" Sasuke asked as he gazed at the necklace.
"It's called going to you're fan-club. Trust me, they have thousands of things for you on Christmas..so be ready." Aiku laughed at the wide-eyed face Sasuke gave her, before shoving her hands in her pockets.
"Later Sasuke!" She nodded and ran in the direction of Naruto's house.
--
"Naruto?" Aiku knocked on his door.
"Aren't you supposed to be making out with Sasuke or something?" Naruto called from behind his door.
"Oh come Naruto, you just caught us at a bad moment!"
"Right.Just leave, you're not exactly wanted here." Naruto spat with venom.
Aiku stood facing the door for a few moments of silence, her mouth opening and closing like a fish.
"..Well..goodbye then, Uzumaki Naruto." Aiku whispered, before running down his stairs and slamming the door to his building open.
Aiku rubbed her eye's fiercely to wipe away the oncoming tears, but it didn't work. She ran to her house, tears slipping form her eyes as the cold wind hit her face.
Aiku ran up the stairs and kicked open her door, jumping onto her couch.
Aiku wiped away her tears after a few deep breaths and sat up.
"So I guess..I should leave." Aiku mumbled to herself.
She got up and walked into her room.
"I guess I should change." Aiku thought out loud before grabbing a black t-shirt ,baggy black pants and other items before slipping them all on.
"Eh..I guess it's time to pack."
--
Naruto was pissed.
He saw his two best-friends..eh,what would he call that? Hugging? Canoodling? He didn't know,and he didn't care. But he was..dare he say it..jealous?..
"Damn." Naruto mumbled.
"I guess I should've gotten the full story.." Naruto thought sighing at his previous mistake.
"Well..I think I should go..say sorry.." Naruto grabbed a random sweatshirt and slipped it on before walking out the door.
--
Aiku slipped on black fingerless gloves before she walked out the door.
"I'm gonna miss this place..My house,my..'team'..Konoha itself..but it's time to go. Damn, I didn't even make it to ANBU. Itachi's gonna kill me." Aiku thought aloud while she taped a letter on the door.
The letter read clearly :
"Dear friends,
I'd like to say thanks for everyone's help and generosity. Unfortunately, I have to go. I've gotten to comfortable here, and I haven't achieved my goal.
Each and everyone of you hold a place in my heart, even you, Asshole Sasuke.
Sandaime-sama, I thank you so kindly for you're help, with getting me a place to stay and a team to go with.
Kakashi, I have a lot to say to you, but instead I'll leave that for the letter on you're present.
Sakura, we've gotten to be good friends, and I believe that you can be strong if you stop concentrating on Sasuke-teme, you could be an extremely strong ninja.
Sasuke..no words for you. ;P
Naruto..there are so many words I could write, but I'll say this..You're still like a brother to me, no matter was happens. And I know you well kid, I just wish you could be yourself, but you and I both know you can't.
I'll end this letter with a saying,
Never give in, Never give up.
Aiku.
She smiled as she read over the letter once and finished taping it, before setting down the stairs.
Aiku stopped mid-walk to look at the full moon.
"Hey." She heard a voice call from behind her. Her head whipped around, her hand clutching her backpack's strap tightly.
"U..Uzumaki. " She stumbled over her words as she glared at him.
Naruto looked at her bag.
"What's with the bag. You leaving?" Naruto asked sliding his hands into his pockets.
"As a matter o' fact, I am." Aiku said childishly, sticking her nose in the air.
"You're kidding right?" Naruto raised his eyebrow.
" Naruto...I'm leaving."
"What?!I don't understand things were going fine, why?"
"Because..there are just things..that need to be done.." Aiku mumbled sadly.
"But-"
"No. This is a battle you can't win Naruto. I might've looked happy on the outside, but Naruto..I'm not. Did I look happy to you Naruto?"
"You always looked happy! I really don't understand..you are always smiling and cheerful.."
" Naruto..let me tell you something..my face wasn't made for smiling. Truthfully, I hate smiling."
"Nobody's face is "made" for smiling! You just..smile!"
"Wrong, Naru-chan. Look, before I leave, I wanted to give this to you.." Aiku rummaged through her back-pack, pulling out a small box.
" You can give it to me in a second, because you're not leaving." Naruto insisted,reaching into his back pocket.
"Naruto! I'm leaving, can't you just forget about me?
"No..I wont..I can't..So, I'll fight you to stay, even if I have to break every bone in you're body." (a/n: Sound familiar?)
"Naruto..please I--"
"No!" Naruto growled angrily, throwing a kunai at her face.
Aiku's eye's widened as she saw the kunai directly in-between her eyes.
But she saw it coming.
She remembered the dream from a couple months ago.
Side-stepping, Aiku caught it and flicked it back to him.
"Naruto..please..I really don't want to do this..." Aiku pleaded.
"How could you leave right after we helped you?" Naruto spat as he dodged the kunai.
"I'll be back! I promise this time. This time..this time, it'll be different." "In more ways then one.." Aiku added silently.
"..I can't trust you." Naruto sighed.
"Trust me." Aiku whispered from behind, before hitting a pressure point on Naruto's neck to make him faint.
--
Aiku dropped the last present at Kakashi's doorstep, along with another letter.
"I guess it's time for me to run.." Aiku smiled sadly as she looked back at Konoha one last time, before jumping off Konoha's large gates and over the sleeping guards.
"Three year's Naruto. I promise." The words floated in the wind along side Sakura petals, landing on a small moonlit lake.
OWARI?
Yeah right!
Oh yeah, and I forgot to write about what happens to the box, but what happens is that Aiku drops it when she's dodging and stuff. You'll find out what else happens later..
I'm so excited to start the sequel! Sorry if this is a bit short, I wanted to come out with it as fast as I could because I felt bad for not updating in forever. Gomen if the writings bad, but I'm a bit upset because my english teacher said I needed to 'work on my writing skills' because I got a C+ in English, and naturally, I felt dissed. Don't worry..The sequel will own..and there may be some sort of..surprise twist at the end..bwahahahaha!..
Happy Holidays.
lol.
Ja Ne!
