Sexiest Ninja Of Konoha Hello again everybody! I'm going to post chapter 4 very very soon, since I have nothing better to do with my time, and I have a GREAT idea. But anyways, this is mostly from Sakura's point of view; in translation, this is going to be a very girly chapter… hope you like it! Cheers!
Sarutobi High School
Chapter 4: Saturday Night Date?
"I'm telling you Sakura, if you and Sasuke keep going like this, I'm going to have to eat my words about him not liking anyone," Ino was saying to Sakura a week after the rope incident. They were lounging on Sakura's bed, looking through magazines, neglecting their science homework.
"And I'm telling you Ino, Sasuke was just trying to keep me from being pudding on the floor of the gym; I'm sure he would have done it for anybody," Sakura waved her hand. Ino huffed at her.
"I bet you he wouldn't have cared so much for anybody but you," she trilled. Sakura didn't say anything, but her heart was racing.
'Could Sasuke really like someone like me?' she thought, her eyes glittering hopefully before remembering how popular Sasuke was.
"I'm just a nobody, Ino, no way would a popular, smart, funny guy like Sasuke every even consider me as a girlfriend," Sakura sighed, throwing another magazine on the ground. Ino smiled sympathetically.
"Sakura, you're just as funny and smart as he is. And I'm sure you'll be just as popular in a few weeks. Will you go out with him then?" Ino teased. Sakura giggled, throwing a pillow at Ino.
"It's none of your business," Sakura said, sticking her nose up in the air. Ino giggled, throwing the pillow back at Sakura. Just as Sakura was about to throw another pillow at Ino, her phone rang.
"Hello?" she answered, shushing Ino.
"Hey Sakura, it's Sasuke," a voice said over the line, sounding a bit agitated. Sakura widened her eyes to Ino, sitting down next to her.
"Hey Sasuke, what's up?" she said, trying to sound casual. Ino bounced up on Sakura's bed, her eyes glinting.
"Uh, I just wanted to ask you if you get the science homework," he said. He still sounded agitated. Sakura rummaged through her bag.
"Yeah, this looks like basic chemistry and physics," Sakura said, flipping through the textbook. Sasuke groaned.
"Science and me don't like each other very much," he said, sounding defeated. Sakura glanced at Ino.
"So you want me to help you?" she asked, somewhat hesitantly. She didn't think it was a good idea, but Sasuke sounded relieved.
"Thanks, Sakura. That would be awesome," Sasuke said. Sakura could hear his smile through the phone. She was sure he could hear hers.
"Great, I'll come over in about twenty minutes," Sakura said before saying goodbye and hanging up.
"Someone has a date," Ino squealed.
"Not a date, I'm helping Sasuke with homework," Sakura insisted, already throwing everything in her bag. Ino giggled, grabbing her things too.
"You have fun with him now, and we'll hang out at school tomorrow," Ino said, winking before she waved. It took Sakura a moment to get her meaning. Once she did, her cheeks turned a dull pink.
"Oh shut up, Ino!" Sakura called as she shut the door, laughing. Sakura shook her head, a smile still on her face as she threw her science book into the open flap of her bag.
"Well, if you look here, you can see how the chemicals react to basic things like baking powder," Sakura was saying an hour later, pointing at a picture in Sasuke's textbook. They were sitting at his counter, Sakura happy and Sasuke very frustrated.
"But, how do you know they'll react correctly?" Sasuke asked, using his pencil to scratch his forehead, leaving a pencil mark in his wake. Sakura shrugged, absent-mindedly cleaning the spot of his forehead.
"You have to actually go for the risk, take a chance, to see if you get the reaction you want," Sakura said, turning the page. Sasuke nodded.
"Good thing you're here, or I'd fail out of tenth grade," Sasuke said, flipping the page in his book half-heartedly. Sakura giggled, picking up her pencil.
"I'm sure you would have found another victim to tutor you," Sakura smirked. Sasuke rolled his eyes, smiling. He looked over at the table as his phone rang.
"Yeah?" he answered. It was Naruto.
"Hey Sasuke, me and Hinata are going out this Saturday, ask Sakura so we can double date," Naruto said, grinning into the receiver. Sasuke widened his eyes, covering the mouthpiece with his hand.
"Excuse me, Sakura," he said, going into the den, shutting the door.
"First of all, it's Hinata and I, and second, how did you get her to go out with you?" he asked, avoiding his last request.
"I just asked her, and she said yes!" Naruto sounded so proud of himself, Sasuke didn't want to crush him by pointing out that Hinata liked him back.
"Well, are you gonna ask Sakura by yourself or should I do it?" Naruto asked, changing the subject. Sasuke breathed slowly.
"Well, I guess I could ask her…"
"Great! Meet us there and we'll talk about afterwards," Naruto interrupted. Sasuke sighed.
"Right. Later," he said before hanging up the phone. He ran a hand through his hair before opening the door.
"Hey Sasuke, you got number three wrong, it's "Anatomy" not "Anapography,"-"
"Sakura, I was wondering, you want to hang out this Saturday?" Sasuke interrupted, speaking quickly. Sakura blinked.
"Um, this Saturday? Sure," she said uncertainly. Sasuke exhaled.
"Well, Naruto and Hinata are going there, so I wanted to know if you wanted to... well, just double with them," Sasuke said, his neck and face an interesting shade of pink. Sakura smiled sympathetically.
"A double date?" she supplied. Sasuke shrugged.
"Ok, that's cool," Sakura smiled. Sasuke closed his eyes briefly before answering.
"Great," Sakura gathered her things, stuffing them into her bag haphazardly, wanting to call Ino right away.
"Thanks for all your help, Sakura, I owe you, like, ten," Sasuke said, walking Sakura to the door. She giggled.
"No problem. Science has always been my favorite subject," she grinned. Sasuke smiled, leaning on the door frame as Sakura crossed the street. He watched her for a few moments before shutting the door.
"I just asked out a girl… a very pretty girl," Sasuke muttered, sitting down on his couch. He ran a hand through his hair, shaking his head, wondering what he was supposed to wear.
Sakura collapsed on her bed. It had been one hectic week. First she moved to a new school, got new friends, for new teachers, and now, a new crush? She shook her head, clearing things up. First thing to do was call Ino. She toyed with a string on her shorts while she waited for Ino to pick up.
"Please tell me he asked you out!" Ino squealed when she picked up the phone. Sakura sighed.
"Hello to you too Ino. And… yeah, he did ask me out," Sakura said, not bothering to fight the grin that was working its way onto her lips.
"I knew it! I bet you guys didn't even do homework!" Ino said, smiling through the phone. Sakura rolled her eyes, giggling.
"We did too! Just, not a lot of it," Sakura muttered guiltily. Ino grinned.
"So when are you going?" she asked.
"This Saturday, with Naruto and Hinata," Sakura said, laying back on her bed.
"Oh, a double-date? Are you… you know, separating after dinner?" Ino asked mischievously. Sakura giggled.
"I don't know yet, but I sorta hope so… is that slutty of me?" Sakura asked her. Ino laughed.
"Of course not. What girl wouldn't want to go somewhere alone with Sasuke?" Ino rolled her eyes at the phone. Sakura frowned.
"Well, we've only known each other for, like, less than a week,"
'But when I'm with him, it feels like I've known him forever,' Sakura commented to herself.
"So, you two are so cute together. Did you know that Sasuke has over a million fangirls? And they're all really pretty, and skinny, and popular. Not that you aren't, but you know what I mean. And for him to choose you, the new girl, is something. No offense," Ino was saying. Sakura blinked. Why had he chosen her? She rubbed her temples. That was the one thing about Konoha: she had way more headaches here than in Tokyo. After she had hung up the phone with Ino, she stood inside her walk-in closet, looking around at her clothes.
"Hey, if I'm going out with the legendary Sasuke in two days, I might as well pick out what I'm going to wear,"
Sexiest Ninja of KonohaWell that was fast! I had this done in a day! I hope you guys aren't complaining! The next chapter, (which will probably be tomorrow) is going to be about their date, and what happens afterwards…. Stay tuned! And don't forget to R)
