Chapter 7 is here! Enjoy!
We walked away from the store, Sasuke happily munching on his tomato, getting weird stares.
"Why a tomato?" I asked, still finding it amusing.
"I like tomatoes." He said simply.
He had a pretty good reason.
"So in Konoha, would you just buy a tomato and eat it?" I asked.
"Pretty much." He replied. "Well, more than one, though. So I wouldn't have to keep going back."
I chuckled to myself quietly.
That was cute.
I noticed that the tomato had put him in a decent mood and I made a mental note to myself that if I ever needed something from Sasuke, I'd have to hand over a tomato.
We were sitting at a table after he had finished, waiting for our drinks. I had gotten the both of us coffee.
"So people drink this everyday?" Sasuke asked. He had never had coffee.
"Yep. It helps to keep them awake if they're tired." I replied. "I didn't have time to make one this morning."
Sasuke nodded and we sat in an awkward silence.
"So what's it like in Konoha?" I ask. "You guys are really and seriously ninjas?"
"Really and seriously." Sasuke answered. "Konoha's not bad."
"But what's it like?" I asked, "Friendly?"
"I guess you could say that it's friendly." Sasuke said as if he were thinking, "Minus the part where everyone rejected Naruto just because he had the kyuubi. He still does."
"Isn't that some super powerful thing? Ryuu kept on blabbering about it." I added.
"Yeah." Sasuke said. "But I don't think he has it here."
"Is that bad?"
"Not really, considering that we don't really need to fight here."
"What is fighting like?" I asked. "I mean, Ryuu made me watch an episode of Naruto."
"Huh?" Sasuke asked. "Naruto?"
"Oh right." I said to myself, remembering that he wasn't very familiar to the anime. "You know, the show."
"Oh yeah." He said as if he were remembering.
"So what's fighting like?" I asked. "Like really serious battles where you could die?"
"Well, it doesn't look as cool as it seems." Sasuke said. "Yes, it's thrilling but the thought that you could die is always in your head."
"Don't you ever panic?"
"Of course." Sasuke said. "But I'm just too awesome to show it."
I frowned.
"Hey, it's a joke." Sasuke said. "Laugh."
"No, it's not that..." I trailed off. "Why do you fight then?"
"I have no idea." Sasuke said. "That just goes way back."
I nodded slowly.
"Excuse me." The waitress came up to our table, "Two coffees right?"
"Yes." I replied as she set down the two mugs.
Sasuke took a sip and I took a swig.
He frowned. "It's kind of disgusting."
"I thought that the first time I drank it as well. It rubs off on you." I said as I took another swig.
The waitress came by and I stopped her, "Yeah. I'm gonna need a muffin with this. Him too." I said as I pointed to Sasuke.
HAPPY-CHAN
We were walking again.
"You're right." Sasuke said, "I feel like another coffee."
I grinned, "Don't worry, I can make you one when I'm making one for myself."
Sasuke nodded, "Yeah. That'd be cool."
"Just don't go telling your ninja friends. I don't need the whole ninja world to know that my coffees are like poison." I grinned.
"I bet that you're just exaggerating." Sasuke said.
"Hey, you haven't even tried it yet." I said.
He was about to say something until I heard my name being called.
"Keiko!"
Both Sasuke and I turned around. Jun was walking towards us, grinning.
"Hey." He greeted me casually.
Before, I would have been nervous, but for some reason, I wasn't now.
"Hey." I greeted back.
"So, uh," He glanced at Sasuke, "what are you doing here?"
"Just shopping." I replied, "This is Sasuke."
"Hey." Jun greeted him, "I'm Jun."
Sasuke stared at Jun for a few seconds before turning coldly, "Hn."
Jun frowned, "Did I say something or is that how he usually is?"
"I'm not deaf." Sasuke said as he glared.
"I never said that." Jun said.
Sasuke glared before turning to me, "Can we walk away from this jerk now?"
I was about to speak before Jun frowned, "Hey, I'm not a jerk."
Sasuke was about to shoot something at him but I tugged on his shirt sleeve, "We need to get going, anyway."
"What? Already?" Jun asked.
"Yeah. I need to go meet up with Aiko and that." I lied.
"Yeah, okay..." Jun replied, "I'll see you at school."
"Yeah, bye." I said as I waved and walked off.
"Did you have to be such a jerk?" I asked Sasuke.
"Hey, I was being a bastard." Sasuke said with a smirk.
I shook my head with a laugh, "You're an idiot."
Review it, please! :)
