Hiya all...sorry about the long update. I just had so much things to do and all...ugh. Well, here's the next chapter! The next one might be the last one...it depends.
One Question: If I had a Sequel, would you read it?
Chapter Eleven - Wishes of a Troubled Romantic
(Uchiha Sasuke - What I Learned in Chemistry)
Something felt missing...and I didn't know what. I had been about four days since I had awaken from that hospital bed, and two since I've been released from confinement of it. Itachi was always keeping a close eye on me; he never let me out alone! I understood why, but it really was getting annoying after a while.
It was about a week, and then I had to head for school. As I arrived at my usual seat, something seriously felt wrong. And then I realized it.
Sakura didn't come to school.
Quickly, I scanned the classroom and the hallway in search of her? Why would she be absent? It really isn't like her, and knowing Sakura, she'd crawl here if she had to.
And then, it hit me.
She moved...away. To a totally different country. Away...And I didn't even say good-bye.
"Sasuke? Where are you going?" Kakashi called, raising a peculiar eyebrow at me. Ignoring him, I ran out the door, running through different scenarios and tactics I could do.
A smile crossed my face. Time to do something extreme...
For something extreme, I had to bring in the King. And since telling Lee was totally unacceptable (seeing as with his YOUTH he'd probably tell my brother) I got the next best thing. Uzumaki Naruto, and Inuzuka Kiba.
...Alright, perhaps this isn't the best thing to do, but a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. Especially when you're in love...WHAT? I CAN'T HELP IT SO STOP STARING!
"Are you sure you know how to fly this thing?" Naruto asked, his eyes shifting nervously around the small room. Kiba and I flashed him a smile, assuring him it was alright. Usually, Naruto would be the one jumping up and down saying "YaY LET'S DO THIS SHIT!"
"I'm an expert!" Kiba said, nodding at me. As I started the engine, he added, "It's only my first time!"
Naruto shot a death glare at him. "This is no time to be joking! You totally owe us something, you stinking rich bastard!"
"That's right, lover boy."
"Shut up," I mutter. Flicking switches and checking communications, I fasted my seat belt and got ready for take off. That's right...I'm flying a plane...and that was really stupid of me. Exhilaration enveloped me, and so did a little bit of fear. Suddenly, I wasn't so sure I wanted to do this anymore.
"LET'S GO!" Kiba screamed!
Too late to regret it!
Suddenly, the three of us jumped as yelling and cursing came in through our headsets. I heard the stressed out voice of my brother. If he kept this up, he was going to explode someday.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! LAND THE DAMNED THING NOW! ARE YOU STUPID! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! ARGH! YOUKNOWWHAT,JUSTKILLYOURSELVES!AREYOUIDIOTSORSOEMTHING?MYGOD,YOUDON'TEVENKNOWHOWTOFLYAPLANE!"
"Technically, it's a jet," Kiba corrected.
I could just imagine my brother's face completely red and a bomb getting ready to explode next to him, thanks to the fire of his anger. "DO YOU THINK I CARE!? Wait a minute...is that MY jet?"
"Yup," I squeak, wincing as more cursing and screaming came through the receiver.
"SASUKE?! Listen! You freak! You just got out of the hospital! You're gonna give me a heart attack at this rate! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I'M WORRYING RIGHT NOW!?" His voice was cracking. Either he had laryngitis from yelling so much, or he was crying.
Kiba cruised through the air effortlessly. I knew I could rely on him...somewhat. "Don't worry, Daddy Uchiha! We'll take care of your precious Sasuke, the lover boy!"
"I'M NOT HIS DADDY! I'M HIS BROTHER, DAMMIT!"
"Sorry," Naruto said, trying his best to stifle his laughter.
"YOU LAND THAT THING RIGHT NOW!!!!"
It was my turn to speak up. "No can do...I have to get Sakura back," I said with that finality in my voice. It even scared me. I barely stood up like that, especially to my brother, whom I admired ever since I was young. And he must've understood, too...
...although it didn't eliminate his worry about me and Kiba piloting a jet without a license!
"SASUKE!"
I motioned for Kiba and Naruto to remove the communication, and we did. I felt bad, but I knew this was something I had to do.
"Move it, Kiba!"
"Alrighty then!" the dog-lover said. "Time to see what this baby can do!"
(Haruno Sakura - What I Learned in Chemistry)
"Honey! Could you help with the bags!?" my mother called from downstairs. I did my best to hide my disgust for this place, and the small house that we were going to leave in. My room was smaller than the last closet I had!
"Coming!"
Rushing down the stairs, I tried not to think of him. I tried not to hate him. It wasn't his fault; it was mine...ARGH! Girl, stop thinking of him! I shook my head and carried one of the large bags that my father unloaded from the rented van. My father smiled at me; it was a sad smile, and though I knew it was supposed to make me feel better, I felt worse.
"You're a strong girl, Sakura," he said.
"Hn." Maybe I've been hanging around Sasuke too much. I drop the bag in the front room of the house and stomp my way to my closet...I mean room.
Frustration welled inside me; and I yelled and screamed into my pillow so that no one would hear. No one would hear the tears that I cried, or how I screamed at him for not waking up. I tried to convince myself that it wasn't his fault, but I couldn't. I needed to see him...I wanted to see him...but it would hurt so much.
Dammit, Sasuke...
(Uchiha Sasuke - What I Learned in Chemistry)
I was awakened by Kiba. He looked like he had a very stressed look on his face. Groaning, I rubbed my eyes. "What's wrong?"
"How do you land this thing?"
So much for counting on him. In my stupor, it took a while for the words to process their meaning. And when they did, I was immediately awake. "WHAT? KIBA!!!!!"
"Hmmm?" Naruto moaned in his sleep, tossing over. Kiba lowered his voice, so as not to awake the sleeping blond. Naruto wasn't very nice when he's tired.
"What are we going to do?"
Scanning the cockpit for an instruction manual, a parachute, or a Bible, I bit my lip when I found nothing. And that's when Kiba started screaming. "I'm to young and handsome to die! It's always the handsome and funny guys that go first, Sasuke! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Inuzuka curled up into a little ball.
"Snap out of it! There's no time for that!" I hiss, digging around again. Argh...where was my brother when I needed him. Back in Japan where I ditched him, that's what. I knew there was something wrong with my head. Maybe father dropped me when I was little. In that case, it's his fault...and I just pray that he won't haunt me in my sleep.
If I ever live through this. Snatching the headset, I turn the communications on. Much to my chagrin and happiness, Itachi was still screaming. "HEY! ITA-NI-CHAN!"
"Huh? What? Let me guess...you don't know how to land?"
Seriously. He's too smart for his own damned good. "Uh...you could say that."
"...Where are you now?"
"Nearing Los Angeles Airport. Why?"
"Okay...listen to my precise orders, or you'll die. And my hair will turn gray before I even turn thirty, and that's not good! Got it!?" he yelled. I nodded, before I realized he couldn't see that, so I muttered a "yes." If I die here, I'll be haunting him forever. That'll make his hair gray before twenty-five.
Kiba and I finally got the plane landed and cleared (thanks to my Uchiha crest around my neck) and we had to drag the sleeping Naruto into a van. My brother then called my cell phone to start screaming at me again. Rolling my eyes, I turn it off and start the van. Then I realize...that none of us has received Drivers Ed yet.
"It's one problem after another!" I yell.
"Okay..um...just look at the pedals, the wheel, and the gear shift, and that's it!" Kiba said.
"Are you sure?"
"Nope."
Nothing to it, but to do it. Slamming my foot on the pedal, I head to the address that Sakura gave me before I ever fell asleep.
(Haruno Sakura - What I Learned in Chemistry)
Tap...tap...tap...
Damn! What was that noise? Seriously, a girl like me needs a lot more sleep, especially when I'm in my pissed off mood. I pulled the pillow over my head and tried my best to fall back asleep.
Tap...tap...tap...
The sounds came in uneven intervals, like someone was throwing stones at my window. Stupid neighbors. I knew when I saw those boys they were a lot of trouble. Again, I tried ignoring them, but a gut feeling in my heart told me to look out the window. Anger flared inside me. The last time I listened to my heart, all it did was break itself. I wasn't going to let that happen.
And then, my cell phone rang. "Shit. Who calls at two in the morning?" I grab my phone and I nearly faint in surprise when I check the Caller ID. Uchiha Sasuke. Wait a minute...isn't he supposed to be asleep. Maybe it's Naruto...maybe it's...him. I shove whatever hope I have down, and I throw the phone away. Stupid. I'm probably still tired from all that has happened. I'm probably just hallucinating.
"Sakura! Are you there?"
"SAKURA!"
"SAKURA-CHAN!"
Three different voices calling my name...how did the guys get here? Quickly, I dash to my window and open it. There they were. Kiba, Naruto and...Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke...the man I loved, the man I'm afraid to love, and the man that I hate.
Cliffy! So, how'd you like this one? Is it good? Is it bad? Well, the next chapter might be the last, or there might be another! And possibly a sequel!
Please review if you want more...because if you don't, I won't update!
