A/N I've had some more free time to type recently so I am trying my best to get ahead with this fanfic (sorry) but I've been obsessed with Prince of Tennis and Beauty Pop so yeah…too good to put down or not watch.
Oh, I was reading some older reviews and people asked what kind of pairing it was…… XD Even I don't know, that's one reason I ask your vote, but I have an idea. (Hmmm…Tobi? Or Shino? Maybe Ino…)
I DON'T own Naruto. There….sniff…are you happy?! I SAID IT.
Sasuke ran the entire way to the park leaving him exhausted as he stood at the park entrance, gasping. Naruto, some ways behind Sasuke, was tired too since the park was not all that near to Sasuke's house and he had to keep out of Sasuke's sight the whole time.
This…..this may be hard but I will not give up, never if it is for Sakura-chan. Naruto told himself repeatedly, like a mantra.
Getting his breath and sanity back the little Uchiha started to comb throughout the park looking for the pink haired girl or some kind of sign of her. An less than an hour passed before the sun was completely gone from the sky and it was next to impossible to see. Nevertheless Sasuke did not stop searching but redoubled his efforts and looked even harder. It was not long before he found it…or should I say, them?
The two cats, Merodi and Keikai, were sleeping together in a lump of paws and ears. Sasuke could not tell where one cat began and the other interjected in the fuzzy, spotted lump.
Quietly and carefully Sasuke crawled up the little hill full of dense shrubbery and pines. Laying flat on his stomach he waited, peering over the lip of the hill where it evened out into a more plain like field. There was a creek running through, he noticed, dug into a deep bed. Other than that the field was very ordinary and grassy, maybe even too grassy. All the high stalks tickled underneath Sasuke's nose and he could not hold back a sneeze. Naruto, many feet back and crouched behind a tree, almost snickered. Clamping his mouth shut Naruto bit his bottom lip tightly to prevent any sudden noises.
The sudden noise startled a nearby squirrel that was munching on a few left over nuts. The tree rat dropped it's nut and bolted up a pine, terrified. Sasuke waited to see if anyone else had reacted and started to wiggle his way free of the bushes when he heard nothing. After minutes of struggling Sasuke pulled free of the shrubbery and almost fell down the hill before he regained balance.
Silently the black haired boy crept down the hill to the base where a sleeping Sakura lay. Curled into a ball the girl seemed uncomfortable on the hard ground as she tossed and turned in her sleep. Sitting down by her in the grass Sasuke slowly elevated Sakura's head and placed it on his lap. Sakura squirmed a little before she was comfortable enough to fall into a more peaceful sleep.
Sitting up close Sasuke could see little tracks running down her cheeks from her eyes. As she slept the girl would mutter things, mostly repeating the conver--mad fest that she and Sasuke had recently yelled at each other. Each time Sakura repeated something, whether it was she who said it or not, a little arrow pierced his heart. Then the memory came upon him…
It had probably been weeks ago when Sakura had fallen unconscious and was taken to Sasuke's home to rest. After she had been fixed up Sakura had pulled both himself and Naruto out the door and down the street a bit before they stopped.
"Oi, Sakura-chan, where are we going?" Naruto asked the pink haired girl.
She smiled at them over her shoulder but said nothing. "I really want to show you guys something…."
"No." Sasuke said, stopping. Naruto and Sakura both stopped too. Naruto turned to look at Sasuke better as Sakura continued to look forward. "No."
"That's fine, Sasuke-kun. You don't have to come with me if you don't want to…I just really wanted to show both of you guys a….a…."
Naruto was concerned. "Sakura-chan?"
"No, never mind, it's nothing." Sakura said, still facing forward. "I…I'll be going now. I'm sorry." Walking away from them with even steps, Sakura felt a tear trickle down her cheek. As Sakura walked away, she broke out in a run until she disappeared completely from the two boy's sight.
Naruto turned to Sasuke. "You bastard, why'd you go and do that, hunh?"
"Hn."
"Y-you…" Naruto was feeling very angry. "Sakura-chan only wanted to show you something. You could've gone and seen it!"
"Hn. Why should I waste my time, hunh?"
Naruto glared at his friend. "Is it really wasting time when it's someone you care about?" The blonde left the Ice Cube with his hands shoved into his pockets.
Sasuke glared at Naruto's back as it receded. "So what?" He mumbled. "Who says I care about her?" Walking back inside, Sasuke lays down on his bed. Instantly his mind is plagued with thoughts of what he had done wrong.
Dammit! Sasuke screamed as the image of Sakura's back played in his mind again. He felt compelled to go do something, he didn't know what. However Sasuke ignored what that other part was telling him and instead fell asleep.
I remember that was what happened last time when Sakura, Naruto and I were alone. Goddammit! Why does this always happen?!
Clenching his fist in resolution (Which was very unlike himself) Sasuke vowed to this time listen to that little voice inside his head and whatever it told him, since last time it had been right.
None the less, after a while of having Sakura sleep on him Sasuke's legs were starting to fall asleep and tingle up and down his legs, causing him much pain. Bitting his lip until it bled Sasuke withstood the pain until it dissipated and his legs felt numb.
Owwwwwwwww..!
Naruto, fed up and sleepy, decided to make things move a little faster by himself. Grabbing a handful of acrons and small pebbles Naruto climbed up into a higher position amoung the pine boughs and began to chuck the acorns at the cozy couple, trying his best to avoid hitting Sakura. One nicely sized stone conked Sasuke on the back of the head so hard that he yelped and fell forward. Sakura, having been woken up by the yelp, sat up quickly. Both of the two teens, heads moving fast, were unable to stop. They did not even know they were going to hit each other until it happened.
Rolling away Sakura sat up, more slowly this time, rubbing her aching forehead. Sasuke, flat on his back seeing stars flying in circles, was even worse off having a cut on the back of his head too, and numb legs. Sakura stiffened as her eyesight adapted to the darkness.
"Why in the world…" Sakura said between clenched teeth.
Shaking his head slightly to clear his vision, Sasuke tried to sit up only to fall on his back again. As he uncurled his numbed legs Sasuke hissed in pain as slight feeling invaded his senses. When the attack was over he noticed Sakura was still there, sitting crosslegged and pissed.
"Why?" She asked blandly, all emotion void.
"I was sorry and wanted to apologize to you, Sakura, for the mean things I said." The Uchiha managed to say through the pain.
Without batting an eyelash Sakura pointed out, "You put that in the past tense. Did something change?"
"I w--" He began before cutting himself off. Don't say anything mean. That's how you got into this mess! Releasing a breath Sasuke tried again. "No, I still feel that way."
"Oh, really?" Sakura asked. "Why?"
"W-why? Well…..um….." Laying back against the hill he started to hiss again while the second wave of feeling swamped over him.
"Are you a snake or something?"
"Hissss--Hunh-sss--"
"That. The hissing. Are you dying?"
You don't sound the least bit sad. Joy. "No, I'll live….I hope. You see, I came looking for you and you were asleep on the grass but you did not look comfortable to I put you on my lap and--why are you red. Got a fever or something?" Sasuke asked as he glanced over at the pink haired girl.
"It's your eyes." Sakura whispered.
"What's wrong with 'em?"
"I saw them…in my dream. I was alone in the dark and the pairs of eyes start swimming around me, some coming close and some backing away. A couple would disappear while others appeared and some blinked on and off. Others were always there, floating. I was scared and tried to run away but they were every where. Then…" Sakura stopped.
"Then…?"
"Why the hell are you here?!" She screamed, tears barely being held back.
"Wha--?"
"…why?" She whispered.
Is it your time of the month or something? "Because….I….."
"Just go away!"
"…"
"I hate you! Go away!" She screamed hysterically.
Trying his best to keep calm, Sasuke stared Sakura down. "What is it about me you don't like?"
"Your eyes."
"…..my…..eyes?" He repeated dumbfounded. Naruto, at the base of the hill up in a tree, could hear only when Sakura screamed, and even then her shouts were mangled. SA-KU-RA-CHAN! He thought tiredly. Don't give in….intoaguylikethat….they are….Yawn….they'reanimalsss…
A/N I just wanted to say that I've been really lazy this summer so I apologize to those of you who expected more out of me.
Also…..HI JAM! HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU IN A WHILE. ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?
