Chapter 5: What Is This?
Sasuke's POV
~~~Time Skip~~~
It has been a month since Naruto and that Kiba kid broke up. Thankfully this brat hasn't been depressed or whinny about the fact that Kiba doesn't forgive him. He's been sketching a lot though, he has showed me some of his sketches which are mostly scenery. He sketches the beautiful sunsets that are seen pass by giving the trees a shadowy look. He appreciates the beautiful things in nature. I guess maybe he is different...
I strolled down the hallway looking at the mural as I waited for Naruto to come out of his foreign language class.
I heard the bell ring as kids burst through the doors. I dodged through all the kids until I saw a bundle of bright blonde hair. I tried to dodge papers that were flying all around.
"AH!" I heared someone yelp. That's when I realized it was Naruto. I saw a girl with short pink hair and green eyes smirking and standing next to a dripping Naruto while holding a bucket.
"Come on faggot! Sing! I thought faggots like you had a high pitched singing voice." The girl said as she giggled with another blonde hair girl with pale blue eyes standing next to her.
"Leave me alone Sakura!" Naruto yelled as he clenched his teeth.
"Cone on! Sing! Oh! I know! Sing in Spanish! After all, it is the foreign language you're taking, you should have learned something " the pinkette, Sakura said.
"Fine! If it'll make you stop.." Naruto exclaimed as he paused for a second but then started to sing,"Necesitado, me encuentro Señor. Ayudame a ver, yo quiero saber, lo que debo hacer. Muestra el camino, que debo seguir. Señor por mi bien yo quiero vivir un dia a la vez. un dia ala vez, Dios mio. Es lo que pido de ti,dame
la fuerza, para vivir un dia a la vez. Ayer ya paso, Dios mio, mañana, quizas
no vendra, ayudame hoy yo quiero vivir
un dia a la vez,
tu ya viviste, entre los hombres, tu sabes mi Dios
que hoy esta peor, es mucho el dolor. Hay mucho egoismo, y mucha maldad. Señor por mi bien,yo quiero vivir. Un dia a la vez." As he sang the last words I saw tears build up in his eyes. I understood Spanish so I understand the lyrics and why it affected him. I saw the passion he had put into every single word he had sang, and sang he did with much grace. What he had sang talked about trying to get through life one day at a time. It said how the person was in desperate need of help to get through the day and how they tried to find the right path with help and how times were now worse than before and people stuggled to get past the day. It talked about how there was much selfishness, evil and pain in this world.
The blonde girl had her mouth hanging open after Naruto sang with a dumb struck look on her face. Naruto quickly spun on his heel and and ran like all the evil in the world was after him.
I ran out after him as I saw him running down the road that lead to the forest.
"Naruto, wait!" I yelled out. This kid may not be selfish and whinny but he is very insecure and timid. He's never sang in front of me during these two months that I've been around.
I saw as Naruto came to a sudden stop to catch his breath as I ran up to him. He no longer had tears dwelling in his eyes nor tears rolling down his cheeks.
"I screwed up didn't I?" Naruto asked me. I didn't need a explanation to know what he meant. He thought it a mistake to sing in front of everyone at school, he thought I thought it was a mistake and now he was asking if I was mad at him because of his mistake.
"No. You did good today. I'm proud of you." I said trying to hide any emotion from my voice and face. It was the truth, I've guarded many kids who had been bullied yet none of them had ever had the guts to sing in front of their school. Naruto had impressed me. He was a good kid, I just hope he makes it far in life.
Naruto grinned at my response and we started to walk down the forest road.
I smiled as I saw Naruto chase after a random squirrel we saw. The squirrel ran like hell was after it as Naruto chased it. This kid has softened me yet when he's not around, I'm like my old emotionless self. He always makes stupid yet funny remarks when he gets out of school as if nothing bad happened at school.
Its his way of saying 'I don't give a damn as to what you do to me so hit me with your best shot'. This is what I like about Naruto, he doesn't let all the stuff people do to him get to him, he doesn't act, he actually doesn't care what people say.
Naruto was a ray of bright sunlight that came into my life. He's different from everyone else but not only that, he also makes ME feel different. He's the only human that has sturred any of my emotions. Including ones I never knew existed. Whenever I see him being joyful can't help but grin and be happy yet when he's frustrated or sad, I feel all my emotions stirring at the pit of ny stomach giving me a sickening feeling. But when I just glance at him he makes me erupt with a new emotion I never felt before. Its a feeling as if something was moving in my stomach and then suddenly erupting out.
I don't know this feeling, all I know is that Naruto makes me feel like this and I like this feeling.
...End of chapter...
What could that new emotion that Sasuke has discovered possibly be?
I know some people may not like this chapter yet this chapter is very crucial to everything else that's gonna happen.
