Catch Me. (edited)
I settled into my seat, fingers thrumming against my black and white tights. My knees were propt up against the back of the seat in front of me, while i stared at the snow that fell lightly outside. A woman in the row stopped, staring at the empty seat next to me before she stared at me. Watching her take in my appearance i rose my brow and leaned toward her, snapping my teeth together. The brunette jumped and stormed off, suddenly furious. Chuckling i leaned back into my seat, the music playing softly in the background.
Some found my appearance weird, i did not dress 'normal' as some other did, Ino had mentioned this many times throughout high school. My blonde pretty friend had never failed to pick at my black clothing and the chains that jingled at my hip when i walked. She always tried to make me take off the thick chain that hung around my throat, or the long silver necklace with a bird-cage hanging on the end.
Touching these necklace's i sighed and snuggled into my thick flak jacket more, pulling the long sleeves over my hands. The jacket still smelled like cigarettes making me smile, thinking of Naruto who's smile never dulled.
"I'm guessing you're the one who scared the poor girl away?" I looked up, seeing a tall handsome guy standing in the isle.
"Don't tell me you're going to kick me off the train?" I groaned running my fingers through my hair that was covered by a hood. He chuckled shaking his head.
"Does it look like i'm an employee?" My red lips curled back into a smile and i sighed.
"No you're too... hot." I chimed and he rose a brow before sitting in the empty seat.
"Are you going to start fangirling over me now?" He asked smirking and i snorted. Shaking my head before examining my nails.
"Not in your lifetime." Despite his attitude he was pretty cute, with long black hair that was tied back, dark grey eyes, pale skin and sharp cheek bones. He wore faded jeans, and a long sleeved black shirt under a black pea coat. He eyed me for a second and I glared back at him before my coat started to move. "Fuck-!" He stared wide eyed as a little black and brown head popped out and I panicked trying to shove it back down. "Toto shh!" I yelped as the dog yelped at him.
"A yorki?" I blushed and rubbed her nose against the dogs'. "And you named it Toto?"
"Shut up!" I hissed, fearing that someone would hear, as the dog licked my nose. "If they catch him with me they'll kick us both off, i couldnt just leave it outside by itself in this weather." The man reached forward and scratched the dog behind its ears before sighing.
"I guess you're right." He looked up at me. "I'm Itachi Uchiha." He held out his hand and i took it cautiously, and shook it.
"Sakura Haruno." Pulling my hood down his eyes widened at the sight of my vibrant pink hair, that i had pulled back into a messy french braid before i'd left. "What?" I growled as i noticed him staring at myhair.
"Nothing." And he smiled. Granted it was a small one but it still startled me.
"Whatever." I mumbled, sipping my cup of coffee i'd gotten when i'd first borded the train.
Despite my attitude and his blank-ness, we talked. Talked for hours, till the train was finally able to take off and head from Yukigakure to Konohagakure. I'd laid my head in his lap chatting about my family, while he scratched Toto's ears and talked about his father and how his expectations were too high. I'd laughed and teased him, twirling his hair between my fingers, as Toto was asleep on my chest. The stress lines on his face seemed to ease a bit as we talked, laughing and joking.
When the train stopped though it ended and i stood, grabbing my bag and placing Toto inside before pulling on my beanie and turning toward Itachi. The man i'd come to know in only 5 hours, stared at me with a bit of sadness.
"Thank you." He spoke and i fumbled with my thick chain around my neck before tugging it off and snapping it around his.
"Take it." I chimed as we stepped off the train, the snow still falling lightly. Kissing him lightly on the cheek i molded into the crowd and left him standing there with surprise across his features.
There was a new student at Konoha University, a 'goth chick', Kisame dubbed her by was walking up the stairs in front of them. Her hair was shoved into a black beanie, while her chains that hung off her hips jingled with each step she took. Platformed boots barely made a noise as she walked, legs clad in black ripped jeans, while she wore a long sleeved laced top and a black leather vest. She seemed somewhat familar to Itachi, the way she held herself, and the chains that jingled against her hip.
It couldnt be Sakura, he told himself.
"I wonder if she's into the kinky erotic shit man." Thats when she swerved, leg flying in the air, aiming for Kisame's dumb ass. It hit Itachi instead though, straight into his nose, sending him flying backwards down the steps and into a wall.
Green eyes were wide as she saw whom she hit, and Kisame laughter was silenced as she kicked him square in the stomach.
"You dumbass." She growled while stomping past Kisame and walking back down the steps to help Itachi stand. "Are you o-" He blinked, vision blurry, and felt the blood dripping out of his nose with a new found sense of disgust. "Itachi?" She stated startled.
"Sakura?" He blinked staring up at her before she pintched his nose and tilted his head backwards, before guiding him to stand.
"I apologize, i was clearly aiming for the blue man." She stated pointing to his friend who was doubled over grasping his stomach, her eyes narrowed before she aimed another kick to his gut and helped him to the nurse's office. "Well this is odd." She mumbled, chain jingling at her hip.
"Already Sakura?" Shizune chimed as they walked in and the girl huffed.
"It was an accident auntie." Sakura scowled. Shizune shook her head and got him ice before Sakura placed a towel under his nose allowing him to bring his head down. Her eyes widened as she noticed the thick chain that she'd given him months ago was still around his neck. "You still wear that?"
Itachi stayed silent, but was looking at her blankly. She laughed, fingers twisting through his hair before she sighed, leaning her head on his shoulder. "You're odd." He remarked and she smiled, standing straight again.
"I know." Sakura flicked his forehead and he flinched before scowling at her as she laughed. The door opened and they both turned to see Kisame, and a blonde as well as a red head.
"Oi, you're right Kisame she does look scary, yeah." The blonde stated while the redhead sized her up. Sakura's smile widened as she glared at them.
"Shut up Deidara-!" Kisame hissed but it was too late, she'd heard.
"I'm scary, ne?" Deidara and Kisame froze, and in a flash Deidara was on the floor a huge red mark from the jar he got hit with was next to him. Kisame stared in horror as Sakura smiled wider. "Anything else you'd like to say Kisame?" He shook his head and nudged Deidara with his foot.
"Is this the Sakura you were talking about five months ago Itachi?" The redhead asked with half lidded grey eyes. Sakura rose a brow as Itachi sighed, shifting slightly on the stool.
"Yeah. You're perspective as ever Sasori." The redhead smirked, walking up to Sakura and taking her hands before smiling.
"I'm glad to meet you, you must tell me how you and Itachi met." Sakura's eye twitched as she laughed nervously.
"S-sure?"
Black nails skimmed over the skin on his arm, many rings adorned her fingers, and the heavy clicking of metal didn't bother him. Itachi turned his head over his shoulder, smirk adorning his features, coming face-to-face with his girlfriend. Her piercing green eyes stared back at him with amusement before flickering to Deidara arguing with Sasori. Her eyes, he noted, stood out more when she had dark kohl smeared around them like they did now.
"How was the test?" He asked, and she shrugged before walking around to sit in his lap. The chains at her hip jingled as she sat down, leaning against his chest. He sighed, breathing in her smell of perfume, before moving her long pink hair and leaning his chin on her shoulder.
"We had to write an essay about an important moment." She muttered as Kisame pulled Deidara into a headlock as he tried clawing at Sasori. Sasori made his puppet wave at Deidara which only irked him further to flailing like a crazed hellcat. "I thought of many but there was one that stood out the most.." He rose a brow, while her red lips stretched into a smile. "When we met i'd scared a girl away and you sat next to me on the train," She fingered the thick chain around his neck. "The second time we met your face ran into my foot." He absently rubbed his nose at the memory.
"And here we are now." He stated leaning against the tree further as she laid against him. "My scary girlfriend sitting on my lap." She chuckled and pecked him on the lips.
Sakura ran her fingers through her bright pink hair and sighed as she glared at the blue-skinned man far away. "Stupid Kisame." Itachi rose a brow. "If he'd never gotten my attention that day on the stairs, maybe i would still own my heart." He rolled her coal eyes.
"You're cheesey." He mumered.
"And you love it."
This is more like a filler, ._. i'm trying to write the ending of my
