Chapter 5: What's this Feeling?

Sasuke chuckled softly and said, "Thank you, Miley. You're really sweet." Burying her face in his shoulder blade, she said meekly, "Your welcome."

At that very moment, everyone who was in the auditorium began to disappear. The music, the laughter, every single living soul gone except Miley and Sasuke.

Both the boy and the girl seemed to be in deep thought. Miley yelled at herself in her head, "I just think his singing is awesome, but why am I blushing like a flustered fool!? Uh-oh...that can only mean one thing. I'M IN LOVE!! I can't be in love! That's impossible! I just met him, today, and now I'm head over heels in love?! That ain't natural! I mean he's cute and all, but I can't be in love with him...I'm not over Jake. I can't just break up with one person and start another relationship. If I do go out with him, I'll just end up comparing him to Jake. I like Sasuke a lot. Hell, it could be love, but I don't love him enough to break his heart..."

A troubled look etched on Miley's beautiful face. She was thinking about her ex-flame, Jake and her newfound crush, Sasuke.

Sasuke had a conversation with himself in his mind, "Miley-chan said I did good.

She's the sweetest girl I ever met. She's the only girl that didn't go hysterical after she heard my singing voice. That's a first. What I said earlier about being in the U.S. is better than being in Japan, I really mean it! I really like it here and I really like Miley-chan. I could be in love with her. This is my first day meeting her! I can't fall in love that fast! It's a nice thought, but I really need to face the reality. It'll never last. After this semester is over, me and Naruto go back to Konoha. I'll be near that pink psychopath, again! Forgive me, Okaa-san in heaven I just can't stand that pink idiot! It'll suck when we leave. I want to stay with Oliver-kun, Lilly-chan, and...Miley-chan. I only wish I can stay with Miley-chan forever..."

The two teens were worried about their future with each other and their relationship. A familiar voice called out, "Hey, are you guys okay?" The two teens snapped out of their trance. They looked around the giant auditorium; nobody was in the auditorium except Lilly, Oliver, and Naruto. They were standing in front of Miley and Sasuke with worried looks on their faces.

Lilly asked them again out of concern, "Are you guys all right? You guys were spaced out."

Sasuke said sheepishly, "We're okay. Just a little tired."

Oliver and Naruto caught a glimpse of Miley resting her head on Sasuke's shoulder. They both turned to each other and began to smile in an odd way.

Lilly said, "OK...oh, before I forget, we can go home now."

Miley and Sasuke had a puzzled look on their faces. Oliver announced, "Well, I can tell you. Since Miss Roma's contest caused such a big uproar, teachers couldn't control their students. Kids were sneaking out of class to sing in the contest. The principal couldn't control everybody, so, he cancelled all of the class in the school!"

Miley rose her head off Sasuke's shoulder blade and said, "You gotta be kidding me..."

Naruto smiled a toothy grin and chirped, "We kid you not. Since school's over, why don't you guys come over to our apartment?"

The three American teens' mouths hung wide open at what the hyper blond said.

"Yeah, we can let you guys stay over until 3 since your parents won't believe that the principal let you out of school so early," the emo boy chirped. The three teens closed their mouths not letting flies fly in their mouths.

Miley insisted, "Um, that's nice but I don't know. Are your parents gonna be OK with this?"

A grim look surfaced on the two Japanese boys' faces. Lilly walked toward them and asked, "What's wrong?"

It was quiet for about five minutes until Sasuke disclosed, "We don't have parents..."

The three American teens said in unison, "Huh??What do you mean??"

Sasuke didn't answer them and began to walk toward the exit of the auditorium/

Naruto trudged behind him, not saying anything to the group as well. Since the boys didn't answer their questions, the group ran after them.

"Why?"

"Are you two brothers?"

"What happened to your parents?"

The questions rung through Sasuke's and Naruto's ears. Infuriated, Sasuke began to ball his hands into fists. He turned to the group and bellowed, "Our parents were killed! Satisfied?!"

The questions stopped. Sasuke left the auditorium in a huff. The three teens were speechless after the boy left the building.

Naruto exhaled deeply and said, "Sasuke and I are orphans. My parents abandoned me when I was born. And, Sasuke's...," he stopped briefly then continued, "entire family was killed by his older brother."

The words that came out of Naruto's mouth stunned the group. Oliver squeaked, "Are you serious?"

Naruto smiled weakly and said, "Serious as a heart attack." The smile faded away and the saddened expression on his face made Oliver believe him. Miley headed for the exit when Lilly asked, "Where are you going, Miles?"

She replied, "I'm going to find Sasuke. I'll be right back." She waved to them and left the auditorium and started looking for Sasuke.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was on the left side of the auditorium, crouching down on the grass. He was sobbing and cursing himself, "Damn, why can't I stop crying? Why did she bring up where our parents are?! I yelled at them then stormed out! I am so stupid. He rose up as he heard the sound of brush moving. It was Miley. She was panting and dirty from the bushes.

They didn't say anything. Sasuke ran to her and embraced her. He buried himself in her breast like a frightened child would. She rubbed his black spikey hair and said softly, "Everything's going to be OK."

That's all the words Sasuke needed to hear. He felt like when he was with his mother. A warm, gentle feeling that he always longed to feel again.

End of Chapter 5.

Author's note: I tried to make it a little dramatic and fluffy. But, I failed. This chapter took several revisions. The first draft was cracky and off-topic and the second one had the right dose of angst. Just keep praying for me and I will be updating in no time!
