Special shout out too my first reviewers! Shout outs to my new ones!
"Shit!" Naruto exclaimed after being caught off guard with Sasuke's wink. Sakura saw this as an opportunity and launched herself towards Naruto's flag. Naruto seeing this barely dodged to the right and made a grab for Sakura's but missed. At seeing this he jumped off.
'Alright Naruto pull your self together. Search for pink hair and white skin.' He said to himself finally cooling down. He saw a flash of pink once again and went straight for it. "Gotcha," He yelled and grabbed for it only to feel bark between his fingers. "What the?" He exclaimed and dropped to the floor. He saw another flash of pink and ran towards it only to stop in the field he was before. 'There's something wrong with this…crap…I suck at genjutsu!' He whined and tried to dispel the jutsu.
After countless attempts he finally near collapsed from loss of chakra. He lay down on the grassy floor letting the slowly forming darkness over take him. A picture of Sakura laughing crossed his mind and he smiled. 'Yeah, yeah you won.' He played and then a picture of Kakashi passed his mind holding the scroll. 'Waaaa,' he whined. 'There goes like…1500 yen…wait a minute.' The picture of Sasuke kissing him passed his mind. 'Sasuke…the O.M.S! Shit! I gotta get up! Come on Kyuubi you help too…please?' He begged. He felt light shining on his face slowly as the red chakra enveloped his system.
His eyes snapped opened and he held his hands in a seal and yelled "DISPELL!" As he jumped up, his eyes were still their amazing blue almost blaring blue. He looked around for that oh so familiar pink hair as the actual surroundings merged in. A flash of pink flashed beside him. He darted to the right almost as quick as light and he connected with a body. "Sakura!" He yelled as she tried and fight him off.
"Naruto get off of me! Gosh you are such a brute!" She yelled punching his chest. It didn't seem to faze him as he reached down for her flag. He quickly yanked it off as he jumped off of her. He threw the flag in her face and jumped off.
Sakura, finally realizing what had just happened started to hiccup. "N-n-no-o! S-sas-k-kue-k-kun!" She yelled in tears as she started to bawl. Kakashi popped up with two fingers on her forehead and a happy glee smiling face saying,
"You have been knocked out!" With that they popped into oblivion.
Naruto leaned against a tree to catch his breath barely aware of his surroundings. 'Sasuke you better be worth this.' Naruto thought before shaking his head and jumping off.
Sasuke saw Sakura crying in the field and smirked. 'Good work dobe. You make my life easier as days pass.' He thought silently to himself. He saw the area where Naruto had jumped off and was about to follow but then stopped activating sharingan and smirking once again. 'Let's make this interesting.' He then jumped off after the blonde.
Naruto reached a large lake and slowed down by it. He bent down and took some water into his mouth. He sighed in content after gulping down the last bit in his palms. He looked up to the sky smiling at the sun, wait…was that just red? He shook his head and looked again seeing the sun again. Naruto always was the one to like the sun. His hair, personality, and whole being reminded at least half of Konoha's population of it.
He leaned forward and dipped his sweaty face and hair into the lake thankful that it was nice and cold. He leaned back afterwards almost laying down his arms being the only ones holding him up. 'Sasuke…' he thought but was soon disrupted at the sound of someone entering the water. He turned to the left to see Sasuke stepping into the water with no sandals and a peaceful face. Naruto smiled and got up forgetting about the O.M.S completely. Sasuke had turned around and smiled at Naruto motioning him to come with him.
Naruto got up and walked over unbeknownst to him it was all a dream.
Sasuke bent over, head blocking the suns path. His activated sharingan eyes instantly locked onto Naruto calm blue ones. 'The dobe didn't even realize. Killing my brother did pay off… (1)' He smirked and kneeled down so his and Naruto's faces were inches apart.
The dream Sasuke started to run towards Naruto tackling him happily. 'This is what I always wanted.' Naruto thought to himself. 'I know I could never get it because Sasuke would never…' "WAIT A MINUTE!" He yelled but only looked up to see Kakashi sitting on him with a gleeful face.
"I most definitely want to find out what sharingan-dream he gave you!" Kakashi said helping him up.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!" He yelled in anger and he thrashed on the ground. He turned to the right to see Sasuke with his flag and sharingan slowly dissipating into the coal black it was. Sasuke looked down at his angry face and gave him an innocent smile.
"What?" He asked as sweetly as he could.
"Don't even talk to me…" Naruto said quietly getting up pushing Sakura out of the way as he walked back to the bridge.
"Hey!" Sakura yelled as she was roughly pushed. Kakashi was there behind her to keep her on her feet. Sasuke had a look of hurt in his eyes before it disappeared quickly and he ran after Naruto.
"What does he see in him dammit?" Sakura yelled in frustration seeing her long beloved crush run after the blonde.
"Things he'll never see in you…" Kakashi muttered into his Icha Icha Paradise book.
"Excuse me?" she said glaring at her sensei.
"Hmm, excuse what?" He said as though dumbfounded. Sakura angry at the moment just screamed to the skies.
Sasuke started to slow down and look back as he heard the scream. He quickly shook it off and continued to run after Naruto. Naruto had been walking at a brisk pace so Sasuke had to jog to keep up with him.
"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked panting slightly because of the jog.
"What's wrong Sasuke! You're wrong! You fucking messed with my fee—you know what never mind." Naruto said running off.
"No—wait—N-Naruto—STOP!" Sasuke finally screamed after stumbling on his words over and over. He started to break down barriers for the dobe and now he's pissed at a stupid simple genjutsu trick? "What is wrong with you?" Sasuke said tired and frustrated. Naruto turned around signs of red streaking through the piercing blue. Sasuke couldn't believe the mass anger he had towards him at the moment.
"I'm hurt Sasuke…I'm hurt." With that Naruto jumped off too his apartment leaving Sasuke to relish on his words.
Later
Sasuke walked down the streets after Kakashi gave his little lesson learned debriefing after the training session. Sasuke kind of did feel bad for doing that to Naruto but tried not to pay much attention to it.
He kicked up stones as he walked down Konoha's desolate streets.
"…such an asshole I mean…" He heard part of a voice yell to someone. He saw that the Yamanaka flower shop was still open and decided to hang about the side of the window. He looked slightly inside to see Naruto talking to Chouji with his head in his arms. "He uses me like I'm nothing and treats me like shit!" He complained.
'Who is he talking about?' Sasuke asked not knowing how dense he just sounded. He was shocked as he saw Naruto raise his head with small tears running down his face.
"I have a mission," Naruto began sniffing a bit.
"About what?" Chouji asked.
"It's for Sasuke," Sasuke gasped. "I was supposed to take him to the festival but Sakura beat me too it." Sasuke's face saddened at his words and he started to walk away.
"I think…"
The words stopped Sasuke in his tracks. A small down pour started and soaked him to the bone, his wide eyes stinging because of the water flying into them.
"I think…I love him…" The voice was small and muffled by the window. Sasuke started to feel his eyes stinging in their corneas but his Uchiha pride prevented him from shedding tears or a waste of water and energy as he calls it. He shook his head and turned back down the street before Naruto came out and found him.
The road seemed to get longer and longer as if telling him there was no point. Telling him to turn back and embrace Naruto. He couldn't listen, he was too stubborn.
"Naruto-kun?" He heard. He walked some more until he realized he was covered in shadows. He looked over his shoulder to see Hinata hesitantly approaching Naruto with the hood of her jacket up.
"Hinata, you shouldn't be out its late and raining." He scolded lightly while rubbing his eyes with the heels of his hands.
"N-Naruto-kun what's wrong? I can tell you were crying." Hinata said softly and Naruto softly shook his head and smiled.
"I'm fine what do you need?" He asked.
"The festival…umm Hiashi-sama said that I could go with someone. I was wondering if…if…" She said blushing madly. She gasped as she felt Naruto's hands on her shoulders and his golden grin planted on his face. She saw the look in his eyes and her eyes saddened. It was that apologetic look you get when someone has to say no. Naruto even felt bad inside. He had to turn down the girl who has liked him for so long and came out in the rain for him.
"I'm sorry Hinata-san, I'm so very sorry. I have a promise to keep to someone." He said wiping at the small tears forming at her eyes. Hinata nodded and a small smile appeared on her face.
"That's alright. I don't mean to intrude b-but have you a-asked them yet?" She asked innocently. Naruto was in no control of his emotions and his head fell. His sobs racked his body and tears dropped to the ground him soon following. On his knees he exploded in tears that were masked by the rain water running down his face. "N-Naruto-kun," Hinata yelled in worry and wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"I-It's okay I'm j-Just…I'm tired I'm going to go home now, you too, okay?" He said and got up wiping his tears with a black sleeve. Hinata still with a worried look in her eyes slowly nodded and let him go she herself walking her separate ways.
Sasuke seeing this closed his eyes and something bright shined as it slid down his face.
In the morning Naruto usually would jump out of bed hit the clock and count the days down. Today was very different. He left 104.5 on as they played a song named Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni (Sadness into Kindness). He started listening to the lyrics but then shook his head. 'There was no way.' He thought and got up to take a shower. 'I turned down Hinata because of my mission not a promise…' He closed his eyes as the cold water beat on him.
After drying himself off he walked out and grabbed the large red marker on his night table. He walked over to the calendar and marked off Sundayslowly. He looked over at the closet and sighed trying to forget all about yesterday and be his bright shiny self again. He picked up his phone and called Sasuke.
It rang for quiet a while until he heard the voice. "Hello?" It was hesitant but still monotone and smooth. Sasuke-like if you may.
"Hey Sasuke I didn't mean what I said yesterday. It's just been kinda hard so. You know." He said softly a bit tired though.
"That's alright dobe. I know you remember." With that the silence poured in. Naruto finally getting himself together smiled.
"Of course teme I would know if I didn't know you my life wouldn't be as bad." He joked and he heard Sasuke's small laugh. He exhaled after a calming deep breath. "Alrighty then I have to get ready see you later!" He said cheerfully.
"Un," Sasuke replied hanging up. Naruto got up with a small smile a little more motivated to get his mission done.
"Another day to grab attention…let's see." Rummaging through his closet he found a white t-shirt and a long sleeved orange t-shirt to put underneath. "I'm startin' to like this style. He grabbed dark blue pants that looked like jeans the only thing it wasn't denim so it wouldn't restrict any movement. He put the hitai-ate on his arm like Shikamaru except on his left arm. He put black sneakers on this time and finally turned off the radio to conserve the battery. He actually walked out of the door this time.
He skipped down the stairs seeing as it was still a little early he walked over to Ichiraku.
"How's it going Oji-san?" Naruto sighed as he sat down. "One Miso Ramen as usual." At that Ayame giggled.
"Are you sure it's going to be one this time Naruto?" She played and Naruto laughed.
"Yeah I have training to go to so I don't really have the time, itadakimasu!" Naruto said as he finally got the ramen. Not wasting the time of waiting for it to cool he slurped it up quickly and jumped off the stool and headed for the training grounds.
"By the way Naruto," Ayame shouted after him causing him to stop and turn around.
"Hm," He asked eager to train. She smiled at him and winked.
"I love your outfit." She said in a catlike voice Naruto blushed but then winked back before running off.
Naruto changed his attire to impress Sasuke. Sakura wants to impress Sasuke just as much. So she changed. Sasuke likes black; she put on a black skirt with a small dark pair of shorts underneath and stockings with white sneakers. Sasuke's skin is white so she put on a white t-shirt with two cherries on the front and some bracelets, hitai-ate in regular place.
Sakura was surprised to see Sasuke come in a midnight blue t-shirt and no long collar. He wore white jeans that were a little baggy but gave him room but not so much to make him trip. He also had white sneakers on and his hitai-ate on his forehead still. Sakura wondered with false hope if he was trying to impress her. She smiled at him but then Naruto ran up to them. Sasuke passed a glance at this and seemed to lighten at the blonde bright face. He actually turned back to Sakura and smiled. Sakura was taking back a bit and almost slipped off the railing of the bridge she was sitting on.
"Hey you guys," Naruto started as he slowed to a stop. Sasuke was the first to run up to him followed by Sakura. "I ran into Kakashi-sensei and screamed at him almost beating his ass for being late,"
"Cha Naruto! That's my boy!" Sakura said and they did a high five laughing afterwards.
"Haha, ha anyways," He continued after calming down. "He said every Sunday he'll let us off so we could do what ever we want together because of the festival." He said. He was surprised he kept a straight face without even passing a glance.
"Honestly today Naruto, I don't mind going somewhere with you." Sakura said surprising everyone.
"Really Sakura?" Naruto said a little more happiness was felt coming off the boy.
"Yeah, you're kinda cool when you're not annoying as hell." She smiled. "So you guys wanna go shopping?"
Both boys' faces dropped. "I feel very confident in saying you said all that nice stuff in order for me to not say no and have to let you go shopping." She nodded. "That then has to be the cheapest trick that I've ever fallen for. Well let's go then." Naruto finished and they were off.
Inukai: Oh neat-o double lines! Oh and one forI need Itachi dead (sorry) because i want Sasuke to do alot of Sharingan tricks!
Naruto: When since did you say neat-o?
Sasuke: Don't question her dobe.
Inukai: Sasuke I still kinda don't like you so don't start. Humph. As I was saying…what will happen on the journey to the mall? Will Sasuke go to the festival with Naruto? Will Naruto finish his mission? Find out next time on Blind! But since you guys have been so nice to me and reviewed I'll give you a small scene!
Small scene: Chapter 3: Fans, Spirals, and Blossoms
--
Walking around the mall is a tiring thing to most males. They do not shop most of the time. Well…not with the amount of stamina females have. Naruto wondered if there was such thing back then when he had to save Sasuke as a shopping showdown. With Sakura on his side against Orochi-pedophile he would have definitely won. Hmm, he must think of a jutsu for that one.
Sakura had bags upon bags hung on both boys' arms like coats on coat racks. Naruto couldn't believe he found something harder than Ninja training. Following Sakura obediently they both were lead into a place called JcPenny. Naruto looked at poor Sasuke truly feeling sorry for him as Sakura ran his clan's money inheritance down slowly but surly. He found a place to sit down at a shoe section and sighed hearing Sasuke follow. He saw him eyeing Sakura as she ran over to the Bakers shoes and picked out a few.
"Naruto," He suddenly spoke up startling him.
"Y-yeah Sasuke-chan?" He said awkwardly polite. Sasuke handed him his bags and had a serious look on his face.
"Can you hold these for me?" He said as he got up.
"Yeah sure." He said taking the bags on his lap.
"Thanks Naru," He leaned down. "It will be completed." He whispered as he walked over to Sakura. Five minutes of screaming and Sasuke was pushed onto the couch behind him as Sakura ran towards Naruto in tears.
"Give me my bags…" She demanded slowly with a lot of hurt in the tone.
"But—…" Naruto tried.
"Naruto give me the fucking bags damn it!" She yelled and Naruto tried to help her hold them all but she had herself covered. Before she walked away completely she turned and said one thing so low with so much hate it startled Naruto and made his heart shiver.
"I hate you."
