(A/N: In regards to TheGoddessOfLove: Yeah He did.)
Sasuke was an untrusting person. Everyone knew it. His parents, his brothers, his friends, even his teachers. Everyone was kept at arms length away. And after Sasuke felt he had turned you over and empty out the contents of your pockets and looked at every scare. Then you moved in a foot. Never any closer. Everyone knew that there was no hope at getting any closer. But did that stop Naruto? Nope. Naruto, even though Sasuke won't admit it, was his best friend. Naruto was the only one who got to know what Sasuke was thinking or planning. Naruto was Sasukes link to the real world and Sasuke was Narutos first friend.
"Sasuke? Why is Grandma-San doing…that…?" Sakura asked her equally surprised neighbor. Sasuke shook his head and let out a long tired sigh.
"My grandmother is… eccentric." He paused to think if that was the right word.
'No. Crazy is the right word. Some grandmas are eccentric. Ours is a freaking nut job!' For once, and only once, Sasuke agreed with his inner. His grandmother was a nut case. He and Sakura sat on bean bag chairs watching his grandmother kick ass on "Mortal combat 3".
"Take that baka! You can't escape the wrath of an Uchiha!" Sakura sank back in her chair as if afraid the woman's rage may turn on her. Sasuke watched with mild interest, and mild terror as his grandmother leaned into the flat screen, that nearly took up the entire wall. She was looked as if she would soon fall into the blurry and swirling colors that had mesmerized him so many times. She was a little to good at "Mortal Combat 3" for his liking.
"Grandma. May Sakura and I, uh, take the consol off your hands and play a game?" He asked while looking to Sakura to agree. In response she looked at him like a deer caught in the head lights and rapidly shook her head from left to right. There was no way on Kamis green earth that she would attempt to take the game from that old woman.
Uchiha-San slowly stood from her chair and nodded to her grandson. "Sure baby. I was getting bored of this thing anyway. No challenge." She stretched her arms high above her head. Sasuke and Sakura stood off the side of the room until she left. As soon as she was gone, Sakura ran to a chair closer to the TV and picked up a control. "Wanna make it interesting?" She asked smiling.
"Are you really in a place to do that. I mean you already lost to me once." Sasuke said, while sitting in a chair to her left picking up his dark blue controller while selecting a game at the same time.
Sakura pouted slightly at the memory. Sakura had chosen… "Karaoke Revolution"! Sakura went first. Her song? "I Love Rock and Roll". She scored a 49,879 and set new high score.
"Beat that chicken head!" She shouted while tossing the mic his way. Sasuke smiled and didn't waste time selecting his song. "Are you sure you want to select random? You're pretty much handing me my win. That's no fun!" Sakura said as Sasuke clicked A on his control and stared into the screen. Waiting for his lyrics to pop up.
"I don't have to be anything other than a prison guard's son. I don't need to be anything other then a specialist son…" And so on the end. Sakura was astonished not only with his score, but the fact that his voice was so smooth and wonderful.
"Way to go! You scored 50,000. Diamond Record!" The game blurred out of his sound system.
"Sakura, it's your turn." Sasuke handed Sakura.
"You picked random!"
"Your point?" He raised an eye brow in question.
"Never mind." She mumbled. He smiled when he thought he heard something about a car and road kill. Sakura started her second, and last, song. She sang "Call Me". Sasuke sat in a satisfied silence as he listened to her sing. She was good. With a little voice training maybe a pro. When her turn ended she smiled and stuck her tongue out at him when the television pounded out her score of 50,000. "Beat that sucker!" She smiled when he picked random again. This was to easy this time he wasn't going to get a 50,000. She was sure of it.
"Look out the window, staring at the pouring rain…" Sasuke had been given "You make me feel (like a natural woman.) Sakura spent the entire time laughing and not watching, or listening.
"You lose." Sakura suddenly looked up at him.
"Wa…?" She looked to the screen and nearly dropped dead. He had scored… 50,000. She sat in astonishment for a few minutes. Letting the fact the he had won singing "You make me feel".
"Here's what I want." Sakura braced her self and waited for the humiliating torment he was going to put her throw. "I want a truce." Sakura looked up so fast Sasuke was surprised HE didn't get whiplash.
"What? You are kidding right?" When he shook his head no she sank down and thought about this. Why would he want a truce?
'Maybe he doesn't want to embarrass us because he cares!' Sakura rolled her eyes at her inners swooning and imaginary kiss with Sasuke.
'Oh shut-up idiot. There's no way that will ever happen. Ewe much. Maybe it's because he doesn't want to lose!' Sakura snapped to attention when Sasuke asked her a question. "What?"
Sasuke sighed and repeated himself, "I said, I don't want a bet. I just wanna play game for once. You gamble a little too often." Sasuke smiled at Sakura and her mumbling about a stick and something to do with his eyes and a pair of scissors.
Sasuke popped in a game and sat back for the commercials. He watched until he couldn't take it anymore. "Freaking game! Can't they ever make a plain old commercial? One that doesn't take up 14 minutes with some stupid animation and all the flashes and just tell us the company and freaking product!" Sakura sweet dropped at Sasuke's rage and nearly fell over when he started to fume. His death aura was enough to kill a room full of murders.
"Um…Dude its just-"Sakura was cut off by Sasukes mother yelling that Naruto was here."
"Sup dude?" Naruto sat down on Sakuras smiling as she laughed and struggled to get him off her.
"Naruto! Get.Off! Can't.Breathe!"Sakura shouted as she flew her arms around in rapid motions. Sasuke sighed and pulled his best friend off her.
"Let's go." Sasuke walked off to his room with Naruto in tow. "We'll talk about our bet later, I gottta talk to Naruto about something." Sasuke said as he left Sakura sitting there.
"Um…Ok. Sure." Sakuras breath caught in her throat when she saw the look in Narutos eyes. Something was going on with the to. But what?
Sakura walked slowly to her room, replying Narutos look over and over again. She needed to know what was so bad it made him look that way. When she finally reached the top of the stairs she could hear shouting coming from Sasukes room. She was surprised that it was Sasuke who was shouting. She walked quietly to get a better listen but was nearly throw back down the stairs when Itachi coming running from his room. Shoes and shirt in hand.
"Itachi! Watch out! I nearly went tumbling down the stairs. I have no plans of being crippled!" Sakura shouted at the panting heir.
"Sorry. But I was getting dressed when all of a sudden I heard a moan. So I looked all over my room and I opened my closet. You know what was there!" Itachi was yelling, shaking her shoulders.
"W-what?" She asked trying to keep balance.
"I found Yumi sitting in my closet with a camera and in just her bra and panties!" Itachi was fuming. He let Sakura go and ran down the stairs. Sakura watch him and clenched her eyes when he slammed the door.
Sakura was about to lean into the door to hear what the where saying when he phone rang. She quickly took a step back and answered her phone.
"What?" She hissed into her phone. It was Itachi and he told her get Yumi out of his room.
Sakura sighed and slapped the phone shut. She then stepped back to the door only to have to run to the bathroom and slam it shut. Someone was leaving Sasukes room. She opened the door to see Naruto burst out and slam Sasukes door shut. He stopped for a second and Sakura got a glance at his face. She nearly let out a cry when she saw he looked near tears.
When the front door slammed shut again she opened the door and took slow small steps into Sasukes open door. Sasuke was sitting in a chair with his head bent over his knees.
Sasuke what happened?" Sakura said in a hard voice the surprised even her. She knew it was because anyone who made Naruto near tears dissevered it.
"WE had a fight nothing new."
"Yes something new. Naruto looked near tears." Sasuke still wasn't looking at her and she knew because he did something that he himself was ashamed of. "What did you say?" Sakura said.
Sasuke mumbled something just loud enough for her to hear. He looked up when he felt her had on his shoulder.
SMACK!
"How dare you. You of all people, Sasuke! You know what he's been threw and because of a silly disagreement you say something like that!" Sasuke watched her walk to the door as she said this, not moving. "I have always looked to you and Naruto's relationship as an ideal one. I'm disappointed in you." Sasuke was surprised to find that her words stung his heart. Because they were true. Even her hand across his face had felt worse then another pain he ever felt.
Sakura sighed and walked to Itachis room. She wasn't going to call Naruto. This is something that Naruto and Sasuke had to deal on there own. She walked into his room and watched Yumi prance around his room. Yup, she totally had implants. Sakura shock this inky realization from her mind and told Yumi to get out.
"Why should I? This isn't your room!" Yumi shouted while looking throws his dresser.
"There's a sale at Macys." With that Yumi was off. Grapping her purse and keys. She's not going to realize it till she gets there. Sakura sighed and went to her room. She sat at her desk and looked down.
"Oh my god! I have three essays to write!" Sakura let everything slip her mind and started to write her essays. While down the hall, Sasuke started the same essay, only with a changed topic. Further down the hall and old woman was killing of prostutes and next to that a beautiful mother was thinking of the bottle of sherry down stairs while her husband sat happily in his office working late.
