Chapter Three: November 19th


I punched a hole in the wall last night. I was angry the whole day and it was making me even more angry... if that even makes sense. I have some interesting things to fucking say today.

So, what the fuck was up with Naruto yesterday? I mean, I could understand why Sakura was being up my ass, because she's ALWAYS that way - but I don't remember Naruto being so god damned annoying. He couldn't have always been this 'caring' about me or I would have noticed. You know, it's one thing to have pinky bothering me every second of every day, but I don't need idiot number two to join her squadron of evil undead.

That's what has me so confused. I know I keep saying it, but I just don't understand what they're fascination is with bothering me. Well, Naruto bothers me, Sakura just molests me. I guess they could possibly care... I wrote that in the other fucking paragraph, now I'm just fucking repeating myself - but I don't know what else to think. Why am I even letting this bother me anyway?

I mean, Sakura has been hounding on me since the day I met her. Naruto never seemed too concerned, but now he's all on the up and up on 'let's try and help Sasuke' and 'Sasuke looks sad, let's follow him even though he's running away'. He knows since the day we first became Team 7 what my goal was in life and why I was training, does he not expect me to be a little tense about it? Moreso than usual now because now that our training is over for the time being, I could technically leave and go after Itachi if I wanted to. Maybe Naruto is just afraid I'll leave and he'll never see me again or something.

Ya think? Hmm, that's kind of an interesting thought. Too bad I wouldn't miss him if he ever went away. Should I feel bad about that? But then again, if Naruto looked sad, I don't even think I'd go to the lengths that he does to try and make someone feel better.

But maybe, he's not joining Sakura's league of zombies. There's something in Naruto's eyes that tells me that underneath that ignorant persona he has, somebody really honeslty cares about my welfare. He doesn't care because he's obsessed with me, not because he wants to get in my pants. Eww... well I'd hope not anyway. Even if he did, he certainly doesn't show it.

...I have no idea why I'm thinking of Naruto this way.

Maybe I should return the favor? Nah, he can suck my balls. Just because he feels like being nice to me doesn't mean that I should have to act the same way.

But, I kind of want to.

November 19th - 10:17 p.m.

Naruto acted normally towards me today. He asked me to spar with him, I think he's getting a little restless since we haven't had any formal training in a long time. For some reason, to me, when people act sympathetic towards someone it doesn't constitute as 'normal'. He won the match (gag), so he made me promise to buy him lunch.

Yeah, he won the second match too. I gave him an IOU for a favor against my will. We'll see.
