A/N I Am SO sorry about the late update. My week flew by without me knowing what day it was…heheh….I feel real bad so I will try to get things out in a more timely manner. I am so sorry.
FYI- New poll same question. You know, in case your preferences have changed or something. Sasuke, Itachi and Neji were leading the last poll. What will happen this time?
Sakura sighed as she pulled weed after weed from her garden. "Geez, why don't these things just stay dead after I pull them out?" She asked no one in particular. Stretching her back Sakura could hear all her joints cracking. "Hell, I probably wouldn't care so much about weeds if I didn't get paid to pull them in the first place…." Feeling a bit relieved Sakura bowed her head and continued on, plucking weeds up left and right.
Finally finished the pink haired girl stood up and stretched one more time before walking inside to make a quick dinner. Glancing at the answering machine Sakura noticed the red light blinking, signaling a message was waiting. Pressing the button she absent mindedly went back to her dinner of ham and cheese while the message played. There was a long pause before Sasuke's voice started talking.
Sakura. I know what Itachi did to you this afternoon was inforgivable but you shouldn't kidnap him. Besides, why would I pay to have my brother back in the first place? I would pay you to keep him but without him in the house I can't live alone so…..grr….please give him……BACK. There….I said it…..beeeeeeeep……..
As soon as the message finished Sakura was getting ready to go out. Grabbing a jacket, her cellphone and the cats (She can't leave them alone for very long or else…..presents in the morning.) Sakura locked the house up and headed out to where she thought Sasuke's house was. It was still very sunny but the days were getting shorter as winter approached so Sakura knew it would not last much longer.
While her head was in the clouds she failed to notice Naruto as he walked by. The blond himself paused, turned around and stared at the absent minded Sakura as she wandered away. Silently, like a stalker, Naruto followed the pink girl, hiding behind poles and trashcans. As Naruto continued to follow them the cats became uneasy and wary. Still Sakura paid them no mind, thinking it only a rat that made them that way.
After a few turns Sakura sighed and threw her hands up in desperation. "I'm lost!" She cried out to the heavens.
Gathering up his courage Naruto walked over with his hands behind his head and a silly grin on his face as was normal. "Hey Sakura-chan! What'cha doing down here?"
Pulling her jacket a little closer Sakura slapped a smile onto her face and turned around to face the blue eyed blond. "N-naruto. What a pleasant surprise." Naruto stopped mid step, seemingly frozen. "What's wrong Naruto?"
"Who are you and what have you done with Sakura-chan? She NEVER thinks of me as a "Pleasant surprise"!" Naruto exclaimed. The smile did not slip from her pale face even though her entire body was in turmoil. It was against the natural order of things for Sakura to smile like that at Naruto.
"Can you tell me," She continued, chosing to ignore Naruto's little outburst, "Where Sasuke-kun's house is?"
Nodding Naruto turned back the way he came and started to walk off with Sakura trailing him. "What are you gonna do at Sas--Whoa now Sakura-chan, you don't have to hit me like that, I didn't mean anything…you know…..wrong." Shrugging his shoulders the blond walked on, eventually arriving at the Uchiha's place.
Going up to the door Naruto pressed the buzzer and waited semi-patiently for someone to answer. A little behind him was the smiling Sakura and behind her the cats who were rolling around the grass together mindlessly. The door opened and the smiled dropped from the girl's face. In an instant she was at the door, throwing it open the rest of the way she slapped Sasuke clean across his face. Naruto simply stood there dumbfounded but feeling like right had returned to the world.
"What the h--" Sasuke began when Sakura cut him off.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING CALLING ME UP AND ACCUSING ME OF KIDNAPPING? DO YOU THINK I'D WANT YOUR BROTHER MORE THAN YOU? WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK I WOULD WANT YOUR BROTHER, OF ALL PEOPLE. THE NERVE OF YOU TO DO THIS! I CAN'T STAND YOU, YOU IDIOT. I HATE YOU, SASUKE UCHIHA. DAMMIT!" Sakura ranted, face red and fists white with rage.
All during the ranting Sasuke had been backing up holding his cheek as Sakura moved forward, eventually backing him against a wall. Feeling trapped he tried to worm out of her clutches while he yelled back at her.
"WHAT'S WITH YOU, JERK. COMING TO MY HOUSE AND JUST SLAPPING ME? ARE YOU A GIRL OR ARE YOU AN APE? IDIOT YOURSELF, WHAT DO I CARE IF YOU LIKE ME OR NOT?!" The Uchiha shouted. Sakura backed off, trembling slightly but kept her gaze on Sasuke the whole time.
"That's right. Why would an arrogant, selfish bastard like you care? Why in HELL would you care about ANYTHING? Then again, who would be crazy enough to want your affection? Hunh?" Involuntary tears pricked the corners of her eyes as she spoke, making Sakura feel even worse. Sasuke's own eyes widened a bit after seeing Sakura's fragile side.
"S-sakura…" Sasuke began, reaching out for her, but she just brushed him away and ran off, out the still open door past a baffled and concerned Naruto and two extremely confused and upset cats.
"SAKURA-CHAN!" Naruto yelled at the retreating form of Sakura. Sasuke walked over and joing Naruto with staring after the girl.
"You bum." Naruto said, "Sakura-chan really likes you, you know. Even I can see that. As much as I hate you for it, I don't want Sakura-chan to be unhappy, but everytime she's with you it seems she is nothing but that. What's your problem, eh?"
"I…..I….I know about all that…but…" The onyx eyed boy said, "I don't know….Naruto…..as much as I hate to ask you this, what should I do?"
"Ha! How the hell should I know?" Naruto half-laughed. Sasuke sighed, I shouldn't expect too much out of him… "But hey," the blond said, "If it was me who made Sakura-chan cry like that, I'd run after her as fast as I could and not stop until I found her. I would apologize and try to set things right, no matter what."
Sasuke nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah…yeah…"
"Sasuke."
"Yeah?"
"RUN IDIOT!"
With a jolt Sasuke ran off. All alone, Naruto sighed. "Poor Sakura-chan, to have fallen in love with a guy like that. Demon lord what possessed you?"
"Uh, Naruto." Sasuke said, poking his head over the tall wooden fence that stood on the left side of the yard, "Which way should I go?"
Ponting right Naruto gave a lopsided grin, "She'll probably be at the park, hidden away somewhere. Look good Sasuke, and make sure she's safe otherwise I'll personally make sure you're dead." The threat was all the more frightening since he was still grinning when he said it.
"You won't get the chance, loser." Sasuke taunted as he hopped down and raced down the road for the park at top speed. What did I do to deserve this mess?
"Run Sasuke, Run!" Naruto called behind him as his friend raced off. He was about to walk away back home when he felt a slight pang. But wait….He thought fervently, what if Sasuke messes up again? Maybe then….Maybe then I'll have my chance to win Sakura-chan over! With that thought tight in his mind Naruto raced after his friend, making sure to keep well enough behind he wasn't easily spotted but close enough to see Sasuke as he ran. Oh-ho, Naruto you genius. You could even mess up Sasuke's chances at getting Sakura-chan, yesyes! Hehehe….
Naruto, what happened to Sakura-chan's feelings?
A/N I don't own Naruto. Forgot that before.
Um….so, what do you think? Remind you a bit of that one episode Naruto transformed into Sasuke to kiss Sakura? That's what I thought for a while, but we don't have ninjutsu so maybe Sasuke will just die….what do you think? Sasuke-Dead or Alive? (Hehe, I love power) (I feel like a god)
I will change my pen name to Lord.Assassinator.Bunny. or maybe Kami.Killer.Bunny (KKB)
Hmmmmmmm….
