You know...I just decided on being generous and updating early. Why? Boredom, I suppose, but lucky you!
And so, let's continue with the twelfth chapter of Welcome to Chemistry I!
Disclaimer - I don't own Naruto...or the dialogue from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Chapter Twelve - Apologies
(Haruno Sakura - What I Learned in Chemistry)
Ahem...so that you readers know what's going through my two minds, I'll tell you.
Me: GOD! HE'S HERE! That fucking bastard who fell asleep on me is here! Why? I don't know, but he sure as hell is going to get a beating, even when it wasn't his fault...why am I contradicting myself?
Inner Me: Because you're stupid and in love, that's why.
Yup, Inner Me's hit the mark perfectly. I do love him...but it's hard when I'm so frustrated and angry. When people are upset, they generally want to find something to blame...and sometimes that just makes you feel even worse. Maybe that's what I'm doing...because Sasuke traveled half way across the world to come back and see me. Plus...he did it illegally...WTF? He did? Now, he really IS going to get a beating!
Inner Me: Aw...he loves you!
I stare out the window into the cool night sky and then down at the three idiots who risked life, limb, and their criminal record just to get her. Kiba and Naruto were pestering Sasuke to do something romantic. I had an idea myself.
"Oh, Romeo, Romeo...Wherefore art though Romeo!" I called, doing my best to hide the laughter. He stared at me, blushing and stuttering something. He truly was a sight to behold...so beautiful and...warm hearted...and...
I can't help but fall in love with him again. Over and over, the emotion controls me, and my heart flutters at the wonder of his eyes. For some reason, I know that no matter what, he'll always come to me. Is this love at first sight? True love? We had only just met a few months ago, at the beginning of the first semester. Perhaps it was hormones to blame, or maybe it's something more miraculous. Something any girl would have dreamed of, but as they grew up, knew that it wasn't possible until it smacked them right in the face.
I laugh a little to myself. That was seriously going to deep into it...but no matter what, it was true. I love you, Sasuke. Propping myself up on the window, I was prepared to show him that.
"Oi! Sasuke-kun!" I yelled, jumping right out the window.
I just knew that I would land right into his loving arms.
(Uchiha Sasuke - What I Learned in Chemistry)
"Dude! She jumped out the window for you! Such a lucky guy," Kiba said.
I sigh and ignore the two idiots...one of which who was crying his head off. Instead, I turn my attention to Sakura, who was laughing her head off like a drunk woman. She might as well have been, seeing her performance earlier. What type of girl would do such a thing? Apparently Sakura, and I'm so happy to have her as a girlfriend.
Girlfriend...that word seems so odd to me. However it was true, because Sakura and I loved each other. I felt her grasp my arm and force me to look at her beautiful green eyes, sparkling with tears of joy and sadness. Of course, it hit me. I shouldn't be here, and we couldn't be together anymore. There are such things as long distance relationships, but come on!
Even so...I would never forget her...
And that promise was sealed with a kiss.
Thanks to my bad luck...that's when her parents decided to walk in on us!

"Ahem..." Haruno-san grunted.
Immediately, I broke away from their daughter, an awkward redness flaming on my cheeks. Sakura's face was just as flushed. Her mother, however, was giving Sakura a thumbs-up...for what reason, I don't know.
"Uh...Good...Evening, Haruno-san," I said meekly, holding out my hand.
"Hm...yes...and you are?"
Crap...he doesn't know who I am, and he sees me kissing his daughter. NOT GOOD! Luckily, Sakura's mother comes in to save the day, explaining that I was Sakura's friend from Japan. Mrs. Haruno was definitely a beautiful woman, and like Sakura, she had pink hair, which I think is cute. She smiles at me, the same perfect smile as Sakura.
"You must be Uchiha Sasuke-kun. I must thank you...for helping my daughter."
Blushing, I scratch my head shyly. "Um...You're welcome...I suppose."
I could hear Sakura giggle behind me, which only maddened my blushing.
"Told you I had a cool mom."
"Could use a better dad," I whisper.
Mr. Haruno sent a stabbing death glare at me. "I heard that, young man!"
Kiba and Naruto were laughing and crying, saying something about a dysfunctional family. I sat at the Haruno's kitchen table, quietly sipping on the chocolate milk with tiny marshmallows. I preferred the big ones, but I wasn't about to say that to the man that already hates me.
"So...um..." Sakura started, doing her best to break the silence.
"There just happens to be one problem..." Mr. Haruno began, "...with you dating my daughter. I don't think you can, seeing that we're I the US and you're in Japan. There's something wrong here! So I must ask that you leave."
"Dad!" Sakura yelped. "He's not going anywhere!"
Her father sighed. "Neither are we, Sakura."
"I wouldn't be so sure," another voice said.
I knew that voice. He was here, again, wasn't he? For once, I was actually glad, until it hit me that I stole his jet, and that he was yelling and screaming and shouting and...I was in big trouble, wasn't I? AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
There was Uchiha Itachi, leaning casually against the door way.
"Yo."
(Haruno Sakura - What I Learned in Chemistry)
God...both Uchihas were HOT! And my saviors. Because Itachi was holding a stack of papers and waving them about, a teasing smirk on his face. My mother was awestruck at him, like I was, and my father was just happy that a successful business man was standing on the very floor he was!
"Hey, Haruno-san!" he said.
"Yes?"
"You're first order, pack up and let's go."
Confusion struck the room like lighting. Relief flooded through Sasuke first, and he smiled. I guess that meant it was a good thing, but knowing Itachi, I wasn't sure. Finally, the older one sighed, obviously annoyed that he had to explain things.
"My last secretary ended up trying to murder me, so I need a new one, right? Well, pack up and let's go," he said, turning around.
My father fell to his knees, so happy, and so was my mother. They were probably going to spew thank yous and everything of that sort. I wouldn't blame them, Itachi was a life saver. And Sasuke was already thanking him like crazy.
"Well, aren't you going to pack?" Naruto asked.
Smiling, I nodded and headed up to my room, stuffing my bags to head off into my dream-come-true.

Reyuro was asleep the entire jet ride, and so was my mother and father. I couldn't fall asleep, since I was sitting next to the man of my dreams. Sasuke had glasses, which made him look smart-sexy. I had no idea what book he was reading, but I didn't want to ask either. He look pretty engrossed in the story. Plus, I was just content at staring at him.
Yup...Kakashi's to blame. Him and his stupid Chemistry Classes. But without that, I probably wouldn't have known Sasuke like this. So I'm not complaining.
"Would you like something to eat?" a male flight attendant suddenly appeared next to my seat. Sasuke shook his head and I asked for a water. I got it pretty quickly, too. First class rocks!
"What?" Sasuke asked, putting away his glasses. "Is there something wrong?"
I smiled at him. What could be wrong? Everything was perfect - just as long as we were together.
"Nothing."
Nothing until the flight attendant returned and pointed a gun directly at Sasuke's head.
---
I screamed and Sasuke ducked his head. Naruto and Kiba were yelling bloody murder and my family finally awoke. In my little brother's stupor, he started to think we were in a movie or something. That's what happens when you play too many video games!
Itachi materialized at the door from the pilot cock pit. In a second, he drew a pistol from his shoulder holster and pointed it at the man. "Enough games already! C'mon out, Orochimaru!"
The man removed a perfect mask and it revealed a very eccentric and crooked smile. Orochimaru definitely wasn't the most prettiest thing around, I'll tell you that. But he had a haunting feel to him, and it scared me. But I wasn't fearing for my life, I was fearing for Sasuke's. The gun was still aimed straight at his head, and nothing but his book (which was paper back, so it wouldn't do much) to protect him.
"Itachi...if you want, we could test who's the faster shot. Either me, or your brother, so choose carefully." Even his voice was haunting, and I wanted to throw up at the sound of it.
Itachi's eyebrow twitched. After what seemed to be an eternity, he dropped the gun, and took off his jacket and that dropped to the floor as well. "There...I'm unarmed."
In a flash, Orochimaru grabbed my boyfriend by the hair and pulled him up. Sasuke winced, but bit his lip, stifling the screams of pain from the man's beatings. I wanted to cry, and I could tell Itachi wanted to as well. We were going to lose him again! And we couldn't do anything about it.
I'm so sorry, Sasuke...
Horrible Chapter, I know. Well, if you want to know what happens next, please review! The next chapter shall be the last one...and it shall have a happy ending...or shall it?
