To be or Not to be?

Chapter 22

~Naruto pov~

I woke up to my apartment empty..no sign of Sasuke or his friend

I sighed loudly before taking a quick shower and getting in some jeans a a plain white shirt

I walked into the kitchen giving Ike his food and water before heading out. The day was still early around 10 o' clock.

I made my way to the bookstore opening the door with the ring of the bell sounding

Mr. Sato nodded at me going back to whatever he was doing

I got my uniform and things on before noticing Kiba wasn't there...

Usually he's working when i am...

My work schedule was three times a week Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday..today being Monday...

"Mr. Sato...wheres Kiba?" I asked on my way tot he storage room..

" He called out sick" he answered

I looked down nodding my head...

I worked throughout my shift...having to pick up Kiba's work as well.

When I was done it was around 2 in the afternoon

I left my job before realizing.. I had nothing to do...school didn't begin until another 10 days and no one was home...

I sighed again shoving my hands into my pockets before heading to the park..the path leading right through the large area was not crowded but had family's scattered among it..

I tried to blend in until I got to an empty bench somewhere along the way..

I sat watching the people past by, glad that I didn't know none of them..

Just when I felt the boredom settling in even more I got up and started again..

This time the path was filled with more couples...

I shook my head looking around before seeing something that kinda made me..cringe

It was Sasuke...and his fiancee

I just kinda stood there watching them as they sat on one of the benches, eating ice cream...like..a couple

I held my stomach feeling it flip a little..in nervousness? anger?

I walked on making sure he didn't see me..acting as if I didn't know him..

~Sasuke pov~

I hated ice cream with a passion...but father's words were " Take her for ice cream..show some charm"

I ate the absurd food, thankfully getting a small cone

I glanced to the girl beside me who just really sat there letting her ice cream go to waste

"It'll melt if you just sit there" I smiled

"O-oh sorry" she said as if she 'know

Once we were finished..or i was finished..We took my car back to the Uchiha estate

The ride was awkward and so was the good bye..

I couldn't marry...that! I mean shes pretty yes but her personality is no where near mine!

Once her ride left i walked into the house greeting my watching Father at the door

"How did it go?" he asked looking to me...his eyes expecting something

"Fine..she doesn't talk much"

He patted me on the back with one of those business smiles

" That's fine! She wont get in your way when you run the company" he laughed walking towards the stairs.

I rolled my eyes before telling the maid I was leaving, just in case my parents were to need me

I rode away from my second life and into the next one..

Arriving at the familiar apartment complex wasn't dangerous anymore..

Before stepping out the car I felt my cell phone vibrate..

I quick answered it as I locked the car

" What?"

" I'm not coming back to Konoha.. I was called to Europe about something..a problem." Sai explained

"Hn..well take care.. I'll have shit straightened out by the time you get back"

"Hope so"

I flipped the phone close before going inside the building and to the well-known door number

I knocked waiting for an answer..

The door merely opened showing the blonde that occupied it

"Hey whats up?" I walked in with a smirk looking slightly down at him

He just shut the door and walked to the couch, where the TV was on

"Nothing..just living life"

"Well no need to be so glum about it" I said following him

I sat down next to him and looked at him

He didnt look tired..just..down

"Whats wrong?"

"Nothing besides the fact my boyfriend is off with some girl..other than that I'm good" he shrugged keeping his gaze on the TV

I sighed running my fingers through my hair...

"Listen..I told you that I dont want to be with her..she is..now where near what my type is..My type is you" I answered turning his head toward me

He shifted his eyes elsewhere

"When are you going to call of your arrangement then?"

"Soon..before school begins..that way there wont be any drama about it"

He didn't reply back..just leaned forward and laid his head on me

"Now whats wrong?" I said looking at him, his eyes closed

"I just want things to go back to normal"

I laughed..there's no such thing as "normal"..if there was then what would it be?"

He looked up at me with a perked brow

"Stop making this complicated"

"Fine but-"

*Knock Knock*

I growled in frustration..

Naruto sat up leaning on the other side of the couch..away from me

I opened the door, trying not to rip it off its hinges

"What?"

"Tsk Tsk no need to be like that" Itachi said walking pass me

I kinda stood there a little shocked that it was him before closing the door and following him

"Why the hell are you here?" I growled glancing to Naruto who was now standing

"Just checking in on you..heard about your little scene with that Suigestu kid"

"From who?"

"People" he said smoothly sitting down in the armchair

I rolled my eyes again for the second time this day

" You lively quite cozy here I see" he stated looking around " To bad Mom and Dad want you to marry such a plain girl"

" I'm not marrying her"

He looked at me with a smirk, holding his head in his hand

"Oh?..and how are you going to do that?"

"I'll figure it out"

"Father tells me he wants the ceremony to be a week after school begins.."

I flinched a little at how soon that would be

"Seriously?"

"As serious as a heat attack" he replied watching me

~Naruto pov~

Itachi left after that..he was only the bearer of bad news..guess that's what he wanted to be

I sat back on the couch with another sigh..

This day couldn't get any better..

I felt the couch sink a little seeing that Sasuke was beside me..

"I'll figure something out..don't worry" he said..his voice sound tense

I leaned over and kissed him causing him to kiss back holding me closer to him

I'm not usually the one to kiss him first..but I felt like he needed it...

A/N: Hoped you liked it...
