Sorry I'm so late about updating… I'm still grounded so I had to sneak this when I got the chance.
"So… what did you want to talk about?"
Kino sighed and stops walking. After had walking for about two blocks and staying silent, Sakura was getting inpatient.
"I heard you were taking the Chunins exams."
She tensed. "Well it hasn't been decided but I thought about it why?"
"It will be hard and dangerous. People die in these exams." "I know… do you think I shouldn't do it?" "Do you want to?" "I…don't know. I don't know if I am strong enough."
It was silent again not a sound being made from any one. Sakura kept her eyes on the ground as Kino stared straight ahead. It was eerie silence. Very awkward.
Good job Sakura make your self look weak in front of the sexy god. Shut up!
"Are you ready?"
She looked up at him to see him staring at nothing intensely.
"Huh?" He turned his intense look to her.
"Are you ready?" "Umm for what?" "The exams. Are you ready?"
"I don't understand."
"What I mean is… do you think you're ready. Are you ready to face the danger and you're fears to become stronger?" she stayed silent for a minute until she responded.
"I don't know" He narrowed his eyes at her.
"For a shinobi you sure don't know a lot." She glared at him. "Yes I do! I know all the rules and have memorized everything to know what it takes to be one!!!!"
"To be a shinobi it takes more than knowing the rules and being smart! You have to be strong and you have to have the will power to want to become stronger!" he was almost yelling at her by now and he seemed angry.
"Are you saying I don't have the power to become stronger?" They both were angry now and yelling.
"No you have the power alright you just don't have THE WILL!!!"
"WHAT?!!"
"You heard me. You don't have the want or the will to become stronger"
"I do too..."
"No you don't because if you did you would stop trying to get Sasuke to save you all the time!"
"I do not try to get Sasuke to save me all the time! He just does it on his own!"
"Well maybe he wouldn't have to do it if he didn't think you can protect yourself!!"
"I don't need him to protect me!! I don't him and I don't need you. I can protect myself!!!"
"Oh really?" he was smirking by now.
"REALLY!!"
"Well fine than prove it." "I will!!" "But how are you going to prove it?"
She stayed silent before glaring at him a dangerous, wild glare.
"BY TAKING THE CHUNINS EXAM!!!!"
"Oh really?" "Yeah really and I am going to take it and kick some ass!!"
"Well that's nice to hear." He grinned at her. She stopped seething and looked at him for a second before forming her mouth into an "O" shape.
"You tricked me."
"Hn."
She narrowed her eyes again.
"I don't like you…"
He chuckled. "That's because you love me."
"You are so conceded."
"Just confident, love, just confident."
She blushed at the nickname.
"Whatever."
"Hey KINOOOOOOOO!!!!" A loud voice screamed. When Sakura turned around to the owner of the voice she was surprised to see a boy around Kino's age running to them.
She heard Kino sigh and mumble a curse.
"Kino!!!" The boy jumped right on Kino giving him a bone crushing hug.
"I miss you babe where have you been? Why haven't you called? I was so worried. I thought something had happen. Why aren't you…?" "Umm…"
Sakura interrupted the boy by accident. She was so astonished by what had just happen she had let a sound escape from her throat. Did he just call Kino…? Babe?
The boy jumped off Kino and gave Sakura a grin. "Well hello there cutie my name is Hikaru and you are?"
"Oh" Sakura blushed than answered. "My name is Sakura."
He smiled even bigger and gently kissed her hand. "What a pleasure to meet you cherry blossom."
For some odd reason Sakura found herself liking this boy, and smiled back with no blush this time.
"The pleasure is all mine radiance."
"Excuse me once you're done flirting over there it would be nice to know what you want, Hikaru."
Kino said in a annoyed voice.
"Oh yes sorry babe didn't mean to ignore you over there" Hikaru answered while winking at Sakura, who was laughing.
When Hikaru started talking to Kino, Sakura couldn't help but take in his features.
He was very good-looking young man. His hair was a light gold color with what looked like dark reds highlights. His eyes were purple which stood out even more with his black eye liner on. He wore a silver shirt that had green writings on it saying "You want a piece of me?" , baggy dark green pants with silver chains hanging down and black ninja sneakers to complete his outfit.
Over all he was the kind of boy a twelve year old girl's parents would not want around their daughter. And yet Sakura found herself drawn to this boy. Not like a physical attraction but more like a… friend figure.
"So where have you been lately?" Hikaru asked Kino. It was obvious they were good friends by the way they talked to each other and the level of trust in the air.
"I have been hanging out." Kino lazily answered back. They were walking towards Sakura now.
"With whom?"
Kino smirked.
"With her" Kino directed his head to Sakura. Hikaru seemed stunned than smiled. "Really?"
He nodded.
Hikaru looked at Sakura than back to Kino. "I like her. She seems like she could be one of us."
Kino tensed. "Hikaru"
"Yeah?"
"She is one of us."
Hikaru stopped walking. "What do you mean? How can that be…?"
"Her brother."
"Oh?" Hikaru asked looking confused until it hit him. "OH!!!! That's HIS sister!"
Kino nodded.
"Wow so like she really is one of us in a way already right?"
He nodded again.
Hikaru smiled. "Well that's cool." They both walked over to Sakura. She smiled at them.
"So Sakura…"
"So Hikaru…" Sakura responded back with a smirk.
Hikaru smiled before asking her a question.
"You want to meet our friends?"
Okay I am so sorry for not updating but I will try more okay? I know I said last chapter I was going to do Sasuke's point of view but I couldn't help myself. I just had to put Hikaru in there. He plays a big part in the story too well a lot more characters are to come too. But don't worry this will be Sasuke and Sakura pairing. It will just take some time. But I promise there will be a fluffy moment between them in soon like maybe chapter ten or eleven. Matters on how much of a jerk Sasuke can be until he starts to see a different side to Sakura.
By the way things will be a little different from here on out. Stuff that happens in the anime and manga will be out of this world but not too much.
Thank you and Read and Review PLEASE!!!!!
Bye Bye.
