A/N Yo, it's me again! I've decided to re post the poll that way if your preferences have changed then, well, YA! So far, in this old poll Itachi and Sasuke are tied with Neji behind and Gaara on their heels. Everyone else doesn't matter here….
I don't own Naruto, never have, never will…..Or will I?
--Don't forget to check out my Naruto Fun Flash! #2 coming up soon!! Rate and comment both flash and story please! (Tee-hee!)
Sakura had calmed herself down, but she was still mad. It was seventh period and she was at the keyboards with her headphones on, zoning out as she played Minuet in C Minor. Somehow she had survived the rest of the day after P.E. Perhaps, though, it had something to do with two new students not being there….
A devil's grin spread across Sakura's lips.
Suddenly the Minuet changed into a more sinister tune in a much lower key.
Classmates moved away from Sakura, fearing for themselves after having seen P.E. class. Only her close friends, and those who do not know better, stayed where they were, ignoring everyone else.
Kakashi was absent, as was the usual, and only Itachi was left of the three 'newbies'. A pity.
For some reason unknown to us, (Even me), Itachi decided to brave the odds and approached Sakura….from behind of course.
"Sakura-san," He said in his hypnotic voice. Heads turned to stare at the black eyes beauty, every head except Sakura's. "SA—KU—RA—CHAAAN." He tried again. Nothing.
"She can't hear you, Itachi-sama…" One girl said.
"But we can!" Another giggled.
Thus, gingerly, Itachi began to remove the headphones. Tenten, Temari, Hinata, Ino, Naruto, and Kiba all began to move away, slowly at first, for the door. Shikamaru, Chouji, Gaara and Kankuro had already left, ditching class. Of course, who wouldn't after seeing our heroine?
As soon as the headphones were off Itachi unplugged them too. Now the entire classroom, formerly silent and broading, was filled with Sakura's music. It was slow and dark and full of depressed thoughts. Itachi, behind her, rested him chin on her shoulder and waited for a response. Almost immediately the music changed. It was quicker, but still weighed down. From outside the door, Tenten, Hinata and Temari exchanged glances.
"It sounds heavy."
"And angry."
"She looks pissed."
The boys looked at the three girls in bafflement.
"B-but her face….her face is BLAND!" Naruto pointed out.
Tenten shrugged. "Doesn't matter what her face looks like. It's her music we're talkin' 'bout here. Just listen, is that her normal, lively self out there?"
All the boys shook their heads 'no.'
"Just watch," Temari said, "Itachi is in for it worse than either of his two 'buddies.'"
All eyes were on the pair….Watching…
Itachi was oblivious to anything but his task at hand. Glancing up he noticed Sasuke was still sitting on his stool, plucking away at his guitar. They both locked eyes, Itachi smirking at Sasuke's scowl. Carefully Itachi wrapped his hands around Sakura's midsection. One girl swooned as many others gasped. Sasuke's scowl evolved into a glare.
"Ho, now, jealous, Sasuke?" Itachi taunted.
Before Sasuke could reply to his brother's remark, the piano playing changed again. It was forte, or loud, and angry. Everyone could hear it in the music. The two brother's seemed to have chosen to ignore it.
Sakura's hands were quick on the keys, dancing around like flower petals in the air. Itachi pulled the pink haired girl a little closer, to the awe of all the students standing outside the door watching in.
Nothing exploded.
Nothing died.
Nothing happened.
(That's what's so scary.)
All the students waited with baited breath for something to occur, but nothing ever did.
All of a sudden Sakura's hands paused, as if unsure of where to go. Itachi noticed the sudden stiffness of Sakura's body.
"Sa-ku-ra-chan?" Itachi said fondly.
One note echoed all throughout the room as Sakura's index finger pressed it slowly over and over. Itachi snuggled closer and the one note became two, and then three and then a whole melody. She started to mouth the words and after a few measures stopped.
Itachi looked up to see what had made Sakura stop this time. Looking down he noticed both her hands were balled up into fists in her lap.
Yura yura to yuganda sora e
Kimi no moto e tonde yuke
Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru
Futatsu no omoi
Through the wavering, distorted sky
Let them fly to you
That feel so close together
These two loves
Sakura did not look up but instead closed her eyes and placed her hands on the keys. The song came easily from her fingertips, but the words seemed to be stuck on her lips.
Sasuke continued singing, going through the song an entire time by himself before Sakura rejoined him on the piano.
"Yura yura to…..yu-ganda sora e……." Sakura sang quietly. So soft was she that Itachi could not hear her all too well.
"Sakura-chan?"
Sasuke glanced up to see Itachi looking frantic and Sakura's worried face dissolving. Gradually her voice became louder and carried more force.
"Konna ni mo chikaku ni kanjiteru futatsu no omoi."
Rejectedly Itachi unwrapped his hands from Sakura's waist and backed away from her. "Bah." He mumbled to himself as he left the classroom, "Too happy for my taste."
He nearly tripped over the gang hanging out around the door. Taking a last look behind him at his toy Itachi stormed off, clearly upset about something.
By the time the bell rang the entire class was full of happiness and fans. All the girls were swarming Sasuke, as was the norm, but many went after Sakura as well.
"You were amazing!" and "That was great!" Floated around the room. A couple boys were looking Sakura over, but one glare from Sasuke and they ran from the room with their tails between their legs.
"S-sakura…" Hinata stammered. "Everyone wants to get going, okay?" Nodding the pink haired girl grabbed her books and followed her friend out. "If I may ask, why didn't you hit Itachi-san?"
"Why ever would I hit Itachi?" Sakura inquired, lost.
"You mean you didn't notice a thing?" Hinata gasped. "B-b-b-but..!"
Sakura smiled, "When I get lost in my music I tend to zone out and notice nothing going on around me. An earthquake could come by and I would still be playing! Haha! Oh, that's right….did something happen with Itachi while I was on the keyboards or something Hinata?"
Giving her friend a weak smile Hinata moved along faster, leaving the questiong unanswered.
"H-hey! Hinata!!" Sakura called after her. "Wait up!"
Ten minutes later Sasuke is finally able to squeeze out of the music room from between his many 'fans.' On the way down to his locker Sasuke noticed the abnormal quiet of the building.
Only ten minutes after the bell has rung and already it's this quiet? Geez…I bet they left me….
Upon arriving to his locker he saw there was a note posted on it reading:
Dear Sasuke,
Sorry we didnt wait….Sakura-chan heard about what Itahi Itachi did and was about to rip him to shreads shreds so we had to get goin. Ah! Wait Sakra chun!
I know that bad spelling and handwriting anywhere! Naruto! It's gotta be him!
With his bag in hand Sasuke made his way home, all alone.
I wonder what Sakura's gonna do to him once she get's her hands on my brother…..On second thought I'd rather not imagine it….
"AIIIIIEEEEEEE! NONONO! STOPSTOP! I GIVE I GIVE!"
Itachi?No….Couldn't be….He doesn't have a girly scream.
"Wow…..what a girly scream Itachi."
"Really."
"Do it again! Again! Tee-hee."
"N-N-NONONONO! STOOOOOPP! A-IIIII-IEEEE!!"
"Hee-hee," someone giggled gleefully, "Itachi-kun!"
A/N Just a 'quick' word (you know me, I can't be quick)
Sorry it takes me so long to post. I have a life like everyone else, yes, I know, shocking! Plus I'm addicted to watching anime so I tend to zone out for hours at a time just watching stuff…..bad bunny, bad!
W.W.J.D- remember that? With us here in Naruto fan world is stands for What Would Jashin Do?
-Jashin in the God Hidan worships-
