Detention
It was way too silent.
This is awkward... thought Sakura.
-insert cricket noises here-
This is such a waste of my time. thought Sasuke.
-insert cricket noises here-
This is very very interesting. thought Kakashi.
-insert cricket noises here-
I wonder if they serve ramen at the cafeteria... thought Naruto
The clock read exactly 3:12 . The silence was pure torment. The three all sat in one horizontal row up front, hoping for an airplane to suddenly crash through the window and kill them already. (A/N)- this is how I feel sometimes)
Tick-tock tick-tock
Kakashi, however seemed to be enjoying their adversity. Occasionally, his attention drifted from reading 'Icha Icha Paradise' and instead fell on his so-called 'favorite' students. Their behavior was simply amusing. He continued to observe them from his desk, betting to himself which student would be first to go mad.
"Why am I here again?" asked Naruto impatiently, directing the question to Kakashi.
"Maybe because you tried getting some from Haruno," the response did not come out of the teacher. Once again, he received a death glare from the Uchiha.
"Shut up.." Sakura muttered. Apparently, neither of the boys heard.
"Why does that bother you so much?" he suddenly challenged the Uchiha. "She's way to pretty to be your girlfriend anyway"
"I'm not his girlfriend!" Sakura immediately persisted, her hands rolled into a fist. Naruto smirked at Sasuke.
"Ah. So, unless she's got a ring on her left-hand ring finger, or you two are married, I'm allowed to hit on her!"
"That's enough!" hollered the exhausted teacher. "You three have about fifteen minutes left in here. Would you prefer it if I added more time-neh?"
The room completely silenced. The three exchanged glances and reluctantly settled..
"Miss Haruno, you may go next door with Kurenai-san." he proposed. "You seem to be a great fascination to these boys and we can't let our eyes have what they want here in detention."
And indeed, both their eyes adored the girl. Because underneath that school-girl uniform, was a bod. Sakura unwillingly obeyed and left the classroom.
"But sensei..." Naruto looked at him critically. "If we can't let our eyes have what we want in detention, then why are your reading Icha Icha Paradise?"
After detention (Hallway)
"Oi Sasuke!" he heard the annoying voice call out from across the hallway. He grabbed his backpack from inside and slammed his locker loudly, due to his frustration with the boy.
"Now, what do you want?" he asked, in utter dismay.
"Nothing, really" Naruto answered in a straight-forward voice. "I just need to know... if you're the brother of Uchiha Itachi."
For the very first time, he was sounding serious to Sasuke.
"Yeah. Why?" he asked, mildly curious.
"Oh Nothing." replied Naruto. "It's just that I've heard of him at my old school."
"What have you heard about him?" Sasuke was now greatly interested.
Naruto was a bit hesitant to answer this one. Surely, the boy is no longer aware of his brother's whereabouts. What a shame. He felt the need to urge Sasuke about his plans, though he wasn't exactly certain that the rumors were accurate.
"I heard that your brother is.." he paused, once again debating. "I heard that your brother is after you"
It didn't come out as a joke. Hnn. thought Sasuke. Naruto turned around, leaving Sasuke to glare at his back. He reached for a sharp, metallic object inside his left pants pocket. For a second, he considered drawing the kunai out and just to plunge it squarely at his back. He was thinking just that until Naruto's footsteps halted at a farther distance.
"So watch your back" he said without facing him intently. "And keep that kunai guarded"
Sasuke's eyes widened. How did he know? Just then, the kid himself fished for an object secured in his left pants pocket as well. He slipped the kunai out and began to twirling it as he walked away.
"What a weird kid..." he muttered to himself.
Somewhere deep inside though, he was slightly fearful since Naruto had information he was unaware of. With great difficulty, he attempted to forget what Naruto revealed. Repeatedly, he warned himself not to believe him. Yet, how could he be deceiving him? A new kid wouldn't randomly make up lies or else he or she would readily earn a bad reputation later on. Naruto didn't even know about Sasuke for God's sake! Plus, it seemed to fit the puzzle. Ever since Itachi divorced himself from the Uchihas, sabotaging became his favorite game. And now that Sasuke was sixteen, he'd be given more privileges to his father's businesses. He quickly replaced those thoughts and remembered his study session with Sakura.
Sasuke's condo
The two later ended up back in Sasuke's condo, due to the fact that the library closed when detention ended.
"Exams are next week, so you're gonna have to really prepare your ass off" she said, skimming through endless pages of text books. Though it was really Sasuke that needed the preparation, Sakura was the one panicking. For about seven hours now, this girl slaved over study guides without pause.
"Wow. You must really want me to get that date, huh?" joked Sasuke. Sakura laughed sarcastically and then diverted her attention back to the text book.
Time seemed to have vanished for her. She remained seated on Sasuke's dinner table without the need to get up. The clock now read 11:38. Usually after long periods of studying, (without breaks or eating) she experiences extreme exhaustion.
She occasionally dozed off but then bounces back up a second later. Sasuke did not take note of this until Sakura's strength could no longer persevere. Her eyes reluctantly shut and her head unwillingly slammed hard against Sasuke's table.
A/N- This is so funny. It feels like I haven't updated in ages but it's only been a week and 1 day. Anyway, I hope this chapter satisfied you all. if there are any misunderstandings, just ask. Thank ou for the reviews btw! ;)
