Junai Bad Romance

Chapter III

I keep thinking about what I have to do to pull at your heart strings, What I have to do for you to want to touch me…touch me and hold me tenderly, me and only me….

The weekends were the time Sasuke loved to rest the most. The worst thing that had happened today was that well, he was set up on a blind date. He had met Temari once, through Gaara and Naruto, and let us just say that he was slightly scared of her. The fact that she wanted to date him, he could not even fathom what her motives were. For he knew that she was engaged, and it was a secret that only he knew. Of course, Naruto and Gaara had no idea that he had once been out with her, at least he hope none of them knew. Still, as he looked at her, she looked the same with her blond hair, dark blue eyes, did Sasuke ever tell anyone that even though he had a best friend with blond hair and blue eyes, that they gave him nightmares?

"Finally, Sasuke!" Naruto waved his hand around when he saw Sasuke come around the corner, that same grin plastered on his face. He was excited at the possibilities of today, only if he knew that Sasuke felt like crying. It was one thing he would never do in front of no one though, and the one to blame for all of his hurt feelings was his one and only older brother. He sighed, slowly walking. The park was sure full when there was no school, and not to mention full of public display all over the place.

"Not like I had a choice or anything better to do," Sasuke mumbled to himself, the reason he was feeling so upset, lonely so empty and so hallow was because his brother had left on a business trip for the weekend. Lucky bastard got to travel, but did he ever invite Sasuke? No! For all Sasuke knew his brother could be out there dating someone, or doing some PDA with someone. The thought itself pissed him off.

He missed Itachi, but he did not want to admit it to anyone much more himself.

Well now, Sasuke thought as he looked at everyone that was there. Sakura and her boy toy Lee, Ino and Shikamaru, Naruto and Gaara…great. Well, at least Tenten the tomboy and her boyfriend Shino were not here, she would die laughing at his expense. She was the worse out of the group and he swore that she had something against him. In addition, Hinata and her boyfriend Kiba, oh yeah, that boy had a concussion on the head, he was worse than Tenten. Sasuke always thought that boy was a little too close to his dog…Well they did not matter. What mattered now was the fact that he was going on a probable cover up date with Temari so she would get what she wants.

The fact that she had not stood him up meant that she was serious about this. She probably did not want to ask Naruto for his cell phone number in fear that Gaara might get suspicious. Naruto was a little too dense.

Even though, now he liked the idea of that she might ask for something and then left. Then he would have proven his point that there was no way he was going to date. That there was no hope for him to have any love, from anyone. "Couldn't you walk a little faster Sasuke!" Sakura snapped when he finally made it a few feet away from them, "You act like if we are sentencing you to death" Sasuke frowned.

"Setting me up with dates without my proper consent, yes you are," Sakura was about to punch him in her blind anger when he moved out of the way and the blow landed on Naruto. Naruto began to cry in an anime fake style and Gaara got pissed off as he held his love to his chest.

"What what you are doing wench! That was uncalled for" With that he practically bit Sakura's head off and made her hide behind Lee in shame. That was when Ino started to laugh and her boyfriend beside her just yawned in the sheer boredom of being here.

"Serves your right," She said.

"Oh shut up Ino" Sakura had been at the point of tears when Ino's voice just brought the anger right back.

"Anyways" Ino said pushing some of her blond hair back "Look it here Sasuke, this is your date Temari" She winked as if trying to tell him something, Sasuke just found it to be confusing. "I know she's an older girl, but you still have to treat her properly." Temari then shoved past her, walked over to Sasuke wrapping her arms around his, and leaned down to kiss him on the cheek. This caused everyone to blush and look away, while Sasuke simply glared forward. That was the kiss of death, it only meant one thing. She was going to use him to get what she wanted. He waited for her to whisper in his ear exactly what she wanted to get out of this experience.

"Sasuke, I want to sneak out and leave, there's something important I have to do" this caused Sasuke to tense.

"And what happens if that does not get accomplished"

"Well nothing, I just won't forgive you. So long as I can leave without Gaara and no one else of my family finding out it is all I need. I also want to tell you so at least you know and are able to contact me just don't tell anyone else" Sasuke nodded.

"You're insane," He said, all he needed to do now was text some of his other friends and her wish would come true. Temari knew how capable Sasuke was at pulling strings to get what he wanted as well, and she took advantage of that.

"Too true" She chuckled out in an evil way, and Gaara who was looking their way knew that his sister was up to not good. She felt comfortable with Sasuke because she had met him before and seemed to like him a little too much, but Sakura, Ino, Shikamaru, and Lee did not know that Sasuke and Temari could be dangerous when placed in the same room. They had caused such a commotion last time they went to a club that they got each other throw out. Not only that, but also everyone else in there, which happened to also include Gaara and Naruto, and then the club was shut down for at least a week. Gaara didn't like Sasuke much for only one reason.

A date was not going to really be a date between these two.

It was going to be a daredevil heart attack caused by them.

"So, where are we going?" Temari asked as she snuggled herself to Sasuke.

"Would you quit being so touchy feely with him!" Ino and Sakura both snapped at the same time all of a sudden. There was a mutual secret that they kept within each other. They had never told anyone that Sasuke was someone that they liked A LOT. Still, they had come to the conclusion if that not one of them could have him, then neither of them would come after him. It was a done deal, and so they moved on and got new boyfriends.

"Relax" Temari said, obvious to her what they meant by that.

"Oh" Lee said, "We could go to a restaurant to eat and then go watch a movie" It was a clichéd thing to do, especially in a group date. However, what did it matter, as long as they got to go out and do something and not just stand there all awkward.

"Sounds like a plan!" Naruto said, smiling at Gaara. Gaara nodded and then they moved in couples out of the park. Temari and Sasuke in the back, while she watched that no one saw him texting, everything was going according to plan.

Throughout the whole date, they did as Lee had suggested. They had gone to the restaurant and were now going to watch a movie. Temari and Sasuke felt that they could not watch something as lame as New Moon, something that Sakura and Ino were excited about. They had dragged Naruto into it telling him that hot guys appeared and he had convinced Gaara. Shikamaru did not care so long as he got to fall asleep in the chair, and Lee would do anything for his sweet cherry blossom.

"So, have you come up with a plan to take me to the airport" Temari discreetly whispered into Sasuke's ear. He nodded his head. She sighed then "You know Sasuke, you're like a little brother to me, and the thought that they want to set you up on dates, really is odd and it angers me since you don't want it. Are you sure there is no one that you might like" Sure, she too was like an older sister to him. That was why he felt that he needed to protect her from his tainted mind and thoughts.

"No, no one" Sasuke bit out "At least no one worth mentioning" She knew there had to be someone, but she was not going to force him for any names. It was his life.

"Have you been heartbroken?" She asked, worry laced in her voice. Sasuke shook his head.

"Not yet, just disappointed" She was confused at that, and placed an arm around Sasuke. She was about to whisper something directly into his face when all of a sudden they were interrupted by the loud voices of Sakura and Ino.

"Hey! No public displays!" Their faces were red, and it was obvious they did not like it. Temari, out of vengeance for being interrupted rubbed her cheek against Sasuke's. Then she licked his cheek and smirked at them, flipping them off.

"He's delicious, you know, and all mine"

"Grrrrr" both girls growled.

Lee looked at them oddly. "Why are you being growling, isn't good that Sasuke might have found someone for him already" Sakura and Ino pouted but did not say anything else. They had decided this, this was for the best, it was just so hard convincing themselves.

"Alright then" Naruto said cutting into the silence "Let's go watch the movie"

"Troublesome"

They walked further into the theater. Gaara kept glancing over his shoulder and Temari and at Sasuke, just knowing that they were making a plan. Sakura and Ino were looking over their shoulders as well, but they were looking at them with displeased looks and jealousy. They both had thought that Sasuke was telling the truth and that there was no way that no one could have him. So no one could have him and his love would make their dreams come true, since they vowed to never even come near him or make moves on him.

It was obvious though that Temari and Sasuke had something going on. Naruto inside was jumping up and down, thinking of ways to tease Sasuke over this. Lee, well he was lost in his own little mind thinking about many more things he and Sakura still had left to do for the rest of the day and Shikamaru could care less. Once they were inside, they had to find the theater number that they had been assigned to. Once they were there, they took their seats.

The room was already dark, lights dimly lighting the way. There were people already seated on the millions of chairs that you could see there. The big screen was already showing commercials before the movie started. It was a breathtaking sight that it made and the volume just added to the experience of it all. They all managed to get seats next to each other. Sasuke and Temari getting the ones in the end. The commercials and ads took some time, but finally the movie was on.

Just as the movie started, Sasuke and Temari had already left the theater with no one of their friends noticing them. Sasuke pulled out his cell phone. "Are you here already?" he asked in a low voice as possible.

'I was about to call you dude, chill, we're outside. Now hurry' Sasuke turned to Temari and nodded. She nodded as well and began to walk out of the theater lobby together.

"Care to tell me what this is all about?" Sasuke asked as they made their way to the curve of the street.

"Well, the guy that I like lives somewhere else, I am going out there to visit him. I have heard things other people say, like he is cheating on me, and that he has been hurt, everything is so confusing. I just have to go and get the story for myself" she spoke quickly.

"Some other guy?" Sasuke asked, "Who is he"

"You wouldn't know him," She said. "No one would because I don't want them to know" Sasuke nodded deciding to not question her any further. Still, she had one last thing to say. "I'll be calling you to tell you how I am and when I am going to return for you to come and pick me up. If Gaara or Kankuro ask about me, just say you don't know where I am. Tell them I left you and went on my own and not to worry"

"That is going to be hard you know"

"Yeah well, I'll have to call them as well and make up a lie"

As soon as they got out, a blue car with the roof withdrawn to the back came over towards them. There was a guy there with white hair and a girl with raven black hair and glasses. "Yo, Sasuke!" the man said grinning, his teeth were sharp. The girl just nodded her head, a frown on her face.

"Hey Suigetsu" Sasuke got into the car. Karin stayed silent watching the blond as Temari followed and then Suigetsu turned to them.

"So, where to?"

"The airport" Temari quickly answered,

"Sure" And he drove off, fast.

Back in the theater/

"Oh my gosh! He took off his shirt!"

"WHOOOO!!" the crowd said over what Ino and Sakura had said and then there were applauses. It was a weird thing, but everyone was so into the movie. They had not even noticed that Temari and Sasuke had gone missing.

"Look, he turned into a wolf!" Naruto commented when he saw the excellent video effects that were used to turn a guy into a wolf in a matter of seconds. It was odd.

"That is so totally not the way I thought that would look!" Sakura whispered excitedly to Ino.

"I know, shouldn't they be like werewolves? Oh my, this really is good," Ino whispered back.

"I still don't like Jacob though"

"Yeah me too"

"Shut up already!" Gaara hissed, getting annoyed with everything that was being said around him. this movie was so lame, it didn't seem to have a point. Especially if you have not read the book, and he had not. However, he had heard that many emotions were cut away, even from the book since itself seemed to be rushed. Everything here always centered about beauty and the insecurities of humans…It lacked so much.

"Bitter"

"Oh look" Their eyes were wide and exited. Naruto was in to it as well. That was when Gaara looked to the side and noted one thing, Sasuke and his sister were no longer there. This made him jump up to his feet.

"HEY SIT DOWN!"

"Gaara!" Naruto chided and pulled his boyfriend back down "they are just going to get to the good part, stop being jumpy"

"But" He tried, but all he found was a hand shutting his mouth down so he could not say another word.

With Itachi

Itachi knew there was something being said behind his back.

Traveling always made him feel homesick, and made him feel completely irritated with everything around him. Being away from home was the worst for him. He would worry about his brother the most and wonder what he was going to be doing during his period of absence. He knew that Sasuke might hang out with that kid he did not like, but what could he do, he had business to take care off on the other side.

"Man, this is taking so long" Kisame said beside him as they drove around, the new city looked awesome, perfect for them to go and explore. Tokyo, Itachi had to wonder, was really a strange city. He always had lived in Konoha, so actually seeing a big city compared to the near rural area that he lived at was something new.

"Would you stop moving Kisame" Itachi hissed when Kisame started to bounce in his seat.

"Alright" Kisame sighed.

Itachi really could not wait to get home, he briefly wondered if Sasuke might call him.

At the Airport

They had only parked the car "So, you are not going to be taking any packed bags or anything?" Sasuke asked. She rolled her eyes.

"No, all I need is my money, bye and thank you" With that she jumped out of the car and ran towards the airport. Her flight was not going to leave for another twenty minutes, but Sasuke had to wonder if she was going to be alright. Guess nothing in the world was easy these days, and even he with his heartache was insecure.

His own emotions, feelings, everything suffocating him.

Maybe, there was no happy conclusion to his life story, no never for someone like him, but he could still wish for one. He could still hope for his happy ending "Alright then, let's go back home"

"That seemed like such a waste," Karin said.

"Tell me about it"

"Hmm" Sasuke said, a small smile on his lips "Maybe it wasn't, sometimes you just have to run and do anything to save the love you have with someone"

"Oh shut up"

The three laughed and soon drove back to Konoha. Suigetsu dropped Karin off in her house, they had been out in a date earlier, and then he dropped Sasuke off. Sasuke thanked him and then ran towards his house. He was feeling a little better by this time. Maybe, Itachi ignoring him or saying odd things was not something for him to be up-set over.

He still had time to get his brother to notice him.

As long as his brother was still single.

He wished he could let go of these feelings and make them end just like every other dream does. However, it was something he could not ignore, and something he could not stop wishing for either. He didn't ask to feel this way, but he could only hope for something better to come along. For some hope…

As much as he wished, those feelings would not go away.

To welcome you back home. Moreover, take you into my arms, for you to come and love me for the rest of our lives and for you…to cherish every little and last thing about me…
