Sasu- Lawlie-sama is away at the moment due to a current fear for her life, and has sent me to do the intro.
Naru- Teme! Not only you!
Sasu- *holds up a cardboard sign 'mainly me'* Okay fine, baka. You too *shakes head at readers secretly*
Gaara comes into room~
Gaara- You know guys, she didn't send either one of you to do it. It was me and Neji.
Neji enters~
Neji- Yeah. She told Shika to come too...but...it's a nice day out.
Gaara- *nods and glances at the chocolate haired boy* Right. Anyways, Lawlie~addresses readers~told us to tell you to not worry about her, because Spider-man has made a full recovery and Kiba and Sparkle are still with her, wherever she is.
Neji- So back to the story.
Sasu/Naru-and review!
'You Belong With Me' by Taylor Swift
As I woke up, I could still feel the smaller teen pressing impossibly close to me. I sighed and nuzzled his hair, wishing I could hold him forever.
"Sasuke?" I stiffened and drew back enough to see bright, gorgeous blue eyes looking curiously up at me. I smirked and murmured, "Hn?"
He blinked, eyes gettingalittle wider. Then, apparently deciding something, he just shook his his slowly and whispered, "Hm. Never mind." With that, he closed his eyes, snuggling up to me once again. Now it was my turn to have my eyes widen. Then, softening, I rested my chin on his head, smirking.
"Dobe," I chuckled teasingly, "You're silly."
He sniffed, and reached up to tweak my nose. I playfully bit his hand and he yelped, burrowing deeper into my chest. Surely he could feel my heartbeat speed unnaturally higher. I sighed, and resolved myself, pulling away gently, muttering, "We need to get a bath, baka. I can feel sand under us." He giggled-it was a manly giggle-and nodded, hopping up.
Well damn. I already miss him and he's isn't even three feet from me.
For the first time, I wondered what would happen when Tsunade dubbed him fully healed. A deep pit of sorrow opened up in my stomach, realizing that my little blonde would probably move back out at that time. It was a hurting thought, but most likely true as well.
"Naruto?" He turned, a huge grin plastered on his face.
I hesitated.
I can't ruin his moments of happiness.
I was ready to shake my head and put it off, when suddenly, he jumped me, throwing me back into the bed, and sat on my stomach, glaring down at me seriously. I stared at him, stunned. I then moved so my head was sideways, and he couldn't see the nearly purple blush that was flaming across my face.
"Dobe-"
"First. I'm not 'dobe', teme," he said with his usual pout," and second..."
He apparently lost nerve and climbed off, cheeks dusted pink, before whispering, "Can I...stay here?"
I blinked.
"Dobe?" I said, half to taunt, and half to ask.
He just glanced at me, azure eyes big and round, like melted sapphires. I held back a gasp, just barely reclaiming my expression.
"Are you psychic?"
He just stared, as a big smile overtook my face, me being unable to halt it anymore. I couldn't believe it. He was seriously asking me?
I feel like giggling, but would've rather sawed off my own foot than actually emit such a mortifying sound, so instead, I chuckled. Loudly and deeply. I saw him blush and look away, muttering, "Bastard." I could hear his grin.
"ACH!" I sneezed violently, and rolled off my side of the bed, to get smooshed up against the wall.
Predictably, the blonde behind me cracked up, clutchinghis sides and cackling at my misfortune.
"Thuth up, thobe," I growled, nursing both my jaw and bleeding tongue.
But as I looked up, I couldn';t help but smile at him secretly, happy that he was happy. I decided to indulge in a little insanity. So, as I crawled on all fours around to the other side of my bed, I sighed, and went over to the fridge-still on all fours-and opened it up, ignoring the resulting snickers. Grabbing a bottle of water, I sat down Indian-style and watched him laugh.
I wish…
"Sasuke?" He muttered, and I realized I was staring. Sighing and gulping down some of the water, I shook my head and turned away, dismissing my thoughts as impossible. They were, after all, right?
"Hey guys, sorry to interrupt, but…our honorable principal has decided something," Kakashi announced, and stirred. I started, having not realized he'd woken up.
Recovering first, Naruto asked cautiously, "Oh? That so?"
The silver cleared his throat uncomfortably, and nodded, sitting up to stretch.
Waiting, for forever-it seemed to me-I quickly grew impatient with my English teacher beating around the bush of hesitation as he swings the gay 'satchel'-man~purse-of happiness. I growled and tapped my fingers along my arm, pfft-ing to nobody imparticular.
"She's..." he eyed me, and suddenly got up, going into the bathroom. I grumbled, and followed, peeved when he shut and locked the door in my face. My bathroom. He shut my bathroom door on me. Hehe. Yeah...no. I was about to totally go insane on his ass and beat down myown goddamn door, which would've made me a little sad, but Naruto suddenly tsk-ed from beside me and I turned, foot raised and brow cocked.
He did it again and said to the door, "Kashi, Are you really that afriad of Sasuke-teme? He won't hurt you, right Sasuke?"
He turns to me, with-I swear to god-the biggest, cutest, most beguiling puppy-dog look I have ever seen on another human being-or puppy, for that matter-in my entire life. And I've seen some doozies.
I sighed and lowered my foot, "I can't make any promises. You know that, dobe." But seeing the look, I did cave a little, "But I will try. Better?"
He nodded enthusiastically.
But Kakashi did not come out, instead calling to us, "I'd still prefer to stay behind at least a bit of a barrier, if you don't mind." I heard him mumble domething along the lines of, "Kill me" too, so I was understandably wary of this 'decision' Tsunade had apparently made.
We waited for a moment, before I heard a whisper of a noise.
"Eh?" Naruto, loud as ever, called, pressing his ear to the wood. Kakashi raised his voice, answering, "She's decided to give you both a trial period...and send you back to classes."
I stiffened, and glanced at the little blonde beside me, eyes wide. He was frozen in place, pulled back from the door, soft azure eyes disbelieving.
"Kakashi," I growled warningly, but I heard him sigh and felt the door move against my fingertips as he leaned agianst it, "Sorry guys. I already pushed the date back as far as I could. You were actually supposed to start a week ago, but I convinced her to postpone it. She won't be pushed anymore. Your first day back is the day after tomorrow. I..."
"No way..." I looked back at the still stiff teen next to me, and spun him around so he was facing me, startled blue eyes meeting my own onyx ones.
"Naruto...we'll think of something...somehow we'll..." I stopped as he rushed forward and hugged me desperately.
I'll kill her for this, I thought sadly and furiously, as his chest heaved against mine, and he tried to hide his tears from me.
I could still feel him crying. Silently, strongly, but still.
When the day was over, we'd discovered the only news worth discovering. She'd put me in all of Naruto's classes, even art, and given notes to all the teachers, telling them not to call any extra attention to us when we came back. Also, we'd found that Tsunade herself...was nowhere to be found. She apparently left early the day before, left instructions, and gone of on a business trip for a month.
Oddly enough (sarcasm) that was the trial period's length. She had left here number with Kakashi, since her cell was still in her office.
DAMN THAT WOMAN!
In the mean time, I'd gathered our work and officially given it to the substitute teacher in Kakashi's classroom, narrowly avoiding getting trapped by a wandering group of fangirls who were visiting the other fangirls, apparently consoling themand giving heartening speeches. Frikin' weirdos.
It's enough to turn anyone gay.
(Sasuke S/N: Not that I am gay. You know what, never mind. We're not going to talk about my sexual orientation. I could be a lesbian, but is still wouldn't be or any concern to you guys, now would it? No.)
Apart from that, things went on as normal for the next two days. Naruto began to laugh and play, albeit with a nervous and anxious tension laying just under the surface of the water. I was addicted to him, and I wanted only to see him smile. Yes, I know it's corny...still. It is true.
So I took him out. Granted, Neji and Gaara went with us, Kiba beingbusy with...something, and Sakura busy 'training' somewhere with Shizune. Presumably she was goingto try and be a nurse one day, but she hadn't said anything to us about it.
As we were driving around looking for a place to go, Naruto hugged his little fox plushie close and I smiled sideways at him, enjoying his presence.
In the back seat, it could cut the anxiety with a spork. A dull spork. Or a spoon. I kept nervously glancing back there. From the atmosphere, they were either going to go for each other's throats, or they were going to start making out. Neither were very productive for the evening.
Well damn. I should've just taken Kakashi with us. At least there's nobody for him to go for, and he knows what the consequences would be if he ever touchedmy blonde. (Sasuke looks at the readers from behind his bangs, face shadowed, one eye gleaming out from underneath, glowing red. He chuckles, then looks away. The readers sweatdrop.)
I eventually gave up and announced we had to get gas, even though the tank was nearly over the brim full. I pulled in a pretended to swipe my card, giving Naruto a twenty and telling him to go and buy snacks for the drive. (We were going out to the amusement park that had opened in the next town over)
He skipped...okay. Nothing I can say. He skipped over to the door and waltzed in. After getting out and opening Neji's door, I pointed to Gaara and growled, "Stay boy." He scowled, watching as I yanked the Hyuuga out and shut the door again.
"What the hell Uch-"
"What are you two doing, eh?" He glared at him, crossing my arms uncharacteristically. (hint hint)
He stiffened, but regained his composure quickly, shrugging and looking away, "I'm not sure what you mean, Sasuke."
I'd had enough of this. I don't care how Un-Uchihait was of me. I pfft-ed at him and rolled my eyes stupidly.
"Puhleeze. You're making googly-eyes at each other in my back seat. Sorry if I don't feel like trying to ignore it. I mean, hey at least I-" I cut off, choking on my tongue as I realized I'd almost actually SAID THAT.
~Neji gave me the strangest look I do believe I have ever recieved. And I was once caught yelling at a fish who ate the dime I'd dropped into it's bowl. In my defence, I'd been competely speechless for about ten minutes, just staring at that goldfish. I didn't know fish were able to eat coins.
Seriously though. This look was bordering on 'oh-my-god-run-away-there's-a-four-headed-killer-goose-coming-from-his-mouth!' Not that I would know.
Because I don't, in case you were wondering there for a moment. But I assume it would be similar to the 'oh-my-god-run-away-there's-a-three-headed-killer-goose-coming-from-his-mouth!' look.
Just saying. God, I don't think I've ever rambled so badly in my life. How did we even get on this subject? Anyways, that randomness out of the picture...~
"At least you cover yours up better," he finished, staring me straight in the face, (this was after he'd finished giving me The Look.) and sighing afterwards, glancing back at the store and then the curious redhead in the car. Gaara looked concerned, but trying not to show it. I sighed too and rubbed my face.
"Hn," I said, struck with the brilliancy of the word. That was sarcasm. Again, in case you wondered.
He smirked and shook his head, "I can't I just think about him every minute of every day. And...with us..." He averted his eyes, the unsaid words striking me down inside.
"With you two, there's nothing scarring to hold you back...like there is with us..." I nodded, admitting it to myself even though it did hurt. A lot.
He wouldn't look at me, apparently ashamed..as ashamed as a Hyuuga couldlook without coming off as a normal human being, anyways. We just stood there until my little dobe came back, babbling about sour gummy worms and funyuns. He paused, sensing something, but between the two of us, he soon gave up deciphering anything from our unnaturally stoic faces, shrugging and going back to his babbling, although a little quieter, as he got back in the car.
Soon Neji sighed loudly and murmured, "I'll try to be more subtle, if you'll promise me something."
I was wary, I admit. Even the strongest of minds can be swayed by evil...
"Promise you'll tell him soon..."
I glared, "I knew it. Sakura got to you, didn't she? Or that old pervert? Which one was it? I'm gonna kick somebody's ass!" I growled and waited.
Neji flushed a little, "I...urm...not in so many words."
I glared harder, surprised to see him stutter and blush.
Realization dawning on me, I almost gasped, turning to glare at the redhead in the back seat.
"Gaaraaaa," I stared, and slowly the teen backed up into the shadows, sensing danger. Neji quickly intervened and pushed me towards the driver's door.
"Go. We'll both try. Done?"
"Hn," I was still peeved, but got back in, and couldn't help but smile when Naruto looked up, startled, with half a gummy worm hanging from his mouth, another in his hand. isnatched it and bit down, laughing at the protests. Driving back to the road, I thought about what Neji had said.
Maybe...maybe I will tell him...
Okay.
~Lawlie has set up a video line~
~She is apparently running from something, and you can hear mad cackling in the background. Lawlie glances behind her and yells something unintelligible, before turning back to the readers~
Lawlie- Hey*pant* everyone! How*pant* are you guys? Did you*pant*like the chapter?
~Sasuke can be seen running beside her now, and the readers can faintly hear Gaara and Naruto. One of Neji's hands appear to take the camera, showing Sparkle and Kiba in the back beside Sasuke.~
Neji- How on earth*pant* did she even find us? *pant*
Sasuke- I dunno,*pant, but I'm starting*pant* to wonder if*pant*someone is helping her.
Naruto- *pants heavily and stumbles, getting up quickly* I think so too! She finds us*pant*way too fast to be*pant*natural.
Neji- Hey, you guys watching this! REVIEW for all our sakes. If you don't REVIEW, we might not make it!
Gaara- *looks around* Hey guys? Where did Sakura go?
Lawlie/Naruto/Kiba/- WHAT? *they look around, grounding to a halt. Suddenly they realize that the mad cackling has stopped since awhile ago. They all look wildly around, chests heaving.*
Sasuke/Gaara/Neji- Fuck!(they've seen Sakura and Spider-man behind them, staving off Juura, who is with Gai and Lee, shouting about having to 'GLOMP' Lawlie and have two boys punish each other(SasuNaru NOSEBLEED).
Lawlie- Sakura! Spidie! Hurry and catch up!
Sakura turns and shakes her head sadly.
Gaara sighs and scoops up the stunned and striken author bridal style, waving to the others. Kiba winces and nods ,making Sparkle ride on ahead. Sasuke, Naruto, and Neji all sigh, Naruto with tears in his eyes, and follow them as they all run off.
~Heroic music tribute~
Sakura and Spider-man fought bravely to fend off many attackers, as they allowed their comrades to get away.
