(You all know the drill xD)

Complicated

Chapter five: Seperated!

Normal POV

Sakura was walking towards the gates. She was early. It was only 5:30, but she wanted to get there early so Sasuke couldn't beat her there like he always did. Sakura heard her heartbeat in her ears as she walked quickly. The sun was setting, and was almost gone under the horizon. The leaves started to change color. Instead of green, they were now a brownish orange color from the sun, making them seem bronze. She was getting closer now. Almost there...just..a...little...more...

"Sakura." Damn! Sasuke was there already!

She growled. "Uchiha."

He glared at her. "Don't call me that, Haruno."

She wasn't suprised. "Too bad. It was your fault in the first place."

Sasuke started to glare daggers. "All I said was that-"

"Girls couldn't fight." They turned their heads to see Naruto standing there, face stocial like Sasuke's.

Sasuke stood. "I never said that."

Sakura got near him and pushed him. "You did too, Sasuke!"

He smirked to himself. Now he knew how to get her to say his name.

She turned away, and he pushed her back, making her fall into the mud in front of her.

He widened his eyes. That wasn't meant to happen.

There was silence...then...

"SASUKE YOU BASTARD!!" Sakura screamed, running at Sasuke and tackling him into the river that was a few feet away from them, holding his head under water.

Naruto ran over and grabbed Sakura around her waist, trying to get her off of Sasuke.

Shikamaru and Chouji arrived seconds later and ran over, each grabbing one of Sakura's arms and pulling her off.

Sakura wasn't about to give up that easily.

Her legs grabbed him by his head and she brought him up to her head then knocked heads with him.

Sasuke fell back into the river, red mark on forhead. "Ow! Sakura, what the hell?!"

"DON'T MESS WITH ME UCHIHA!" She tried to free herself, growling at Sasuke, her emerald orbs holding fire.

Sasuke widened his eyes. Ok, no more playing around with Sakura...especially if she was pissed at you.

After about 15 miuntes, she calmed down, panting.

They let go of her.

BIG mistake.

They ran.

"GET BACK HERE!"

Kakashi appeared and grabbed Sakura.

She struggled, the mud on her face starting to harden and fall away.

Kakashi sighed and bent down, seeing her start to cry. "Sakura, it's ok.."

Sasuke walked over, mud washed off from the river, and ran his hand through his raven-colored locks.

Kakashi looked over at Naruto, Shikamaru and Chouji. "Who pushed her in the mud?"

They all pointed at Sasuke.

Sasuke stared at them like they would die any second with just a glance.

Kakashi looked at Sasuke. "Sasuke...why did you push Sakura?"

Sasuke pointed. "She pushed me!"

Sakura turned, her tears starting to make the mud become softer and squishy again. "Because you said I couldn't fight! Just like any other girl!"

Sasuke stepped towards her and stared down at her. "It's true!"

Sakura punched him, and he went flying towards the river.

Sasuke saw this coming and flipped around so he landed on the river, chakra pushing into his feet, gawking at Sakura.

Sakura had a dark aura starting to surround her as she tried to hold back her anger.

Kakashi started to step towards her. "Now, Sakura, let's not get too angry-"

She looked up. "YOU WANNA MESS WITH ME?!"

Sasuke held his head down. "No."

She started to calm down.

Kakashi stared at Sakura, wide-eyed.

Sakura blinked then looked around. "What?"

Everyone shook their head nervously. "N-Nothing!" They said at the same time, others continuing in sentences that weren't finished.

She glared at Sasuke then turned and started to walk out of Konoha, and Naruto watched her, afraid.

Naruto looked back at Sasuke and glared, then followed-Kakashi as well as Shikamaru and Chouji-after Sakura.

Sasuke sighed. This was going to be a long mission.

Sakura POV

Sasuke started to walk next to me; orders from Kakashi-sensai. I hated him so much right now, I felt like tearing off his d-

"Sakura, calm down. Sasuke didn'-"

"Shut up. I'm thinking."

Naruto stayed silent.

Sasuke could see the pure hatred on my face...I just knew he could!

I bet you he was enjoying every minute of it too.

"You shouldn't frown like that...your face might stick that way." He tried not to laugh.

I grabbed him by his hair and pulled him towards me, glaring into his eyes. "Listen, you. If you want to keep your clan going, you'll stay the fuck away from me."

Sasuke didn't know I could curse, and he chuckled a little.

"Well, Sakura..keep that tone of voice and use those words, I might just not stop annoying you."

I shoved him back to his spot, but a little bit farther away.

A figure then jumped down from the trees and in front of me.

Sasuke yelled at me to watch out, and I looked to my front, only to be grabbed around the waist with a kunai to my neck.

'Damn it..' I mentally cursed, holding my breath, standing there.

The ninja was from Sound, and he didn't seem like he was here for a conversation.

"Uchiha Sasuke, come with me or the girl dies."

Sasuke stood there, his Sharingan activated.

"Let her go first."

"Not a chance." He pressed the kunai closer.

I got pissed.

"Let me go now." I stated at first, trying not to lose my cool.

He smirked and grabbed the back of my hair, pulling my head back.

"You think you have a say in this, woman?"

Oh, that struck a nerve.

I grabbed the back of his head, then brought it down to mine. Hard.

He yelled and stumbled back, holding his forehead where a bruise was starting to appear.

"You bitch!" He yelled out.

I had my back turned, but then I turned around to face him.

"WHAT'D YOU CALL ME?!"

He widened his eyes and started to back away.

"I didn't mean it! Honest!"

I got closer to him, more than pissed.

He tried to stop me, by throwing kunai, but they all missed or I caught them and crushed them in my hand.

Everyone stared, mouth agape and wide-eyed as I beat the crap out of the Sound nin.

"NO PLEAS-AHH!"

Silence.

"That'll teach you."

I walked towards my group and they all stepped aside in fear of what I might do to them.

Sasuke merely walked next to me.

"Where'd you learn to fight like that?"

"I told you girls could fight better than guys."

I didn't look at him, because he knew I was right, but continued to walk with me.

I picked up my pace, and he did too.

I did it again.

He did the same thing.

'Well..Uchiha wants a race, huh? I can play this game.'

I took off in a run and he followed, next to me.

"HEY! DON'T GET TOO FAR AHEAD!" Kakashi called out.

We didn't listen.

As soon as we stopped...we had realized..

...that we were lost.

Cliffy :D YAY X3
