Osu~! Osu osu osu! lol, OSU~! x3 Yay! Osu~! I'm so happy today! For some reasons, my girlfriend had created an alter ego of herself - which she had named Zenaku Shintaro, and for some reasons, we met at school and somehow, he said that he likes me! I was like, WTF? But I accepted him anyway... (sweatdrop) I don't know why, but I like him as well! Crazy, isn't it? Luckily, he shares the same body with my girlfriend... Phew... Anyways, what the hell am I blabbering about? Let's start the story now! Naruto's POV! Woot!
Chapter Twenty-Three: I have Fallen for Him
The past few days had been so blissful. Sasuke had been extra nice towards me, especially after we confessed to each other. He was kinder than ever, and I found that to be sweet and cute in a funny way, since Sasuke was never one to be cute and sweet and funny at the same time. Of course, we would fight and argue from time to time, but that is something that we were used to. No day was complete without us fighting and arguing with each other.
Nonetheless, even when the two of us were happy with each other, I could feel jealousy building up inside our friends, especially Sasuke's fangirls - not that I cared about them. The only person that I somehow felt sorry for was my best friend, Kai - I couldn't take Sasuke as my best friend anymore since we were in a relationship, so I decided to make Kai my new best friend. Back to the story, I noticed that Kai was not being his usual self for the past few days, so I thought I should go and ask him what's wrong.
"Hey, Kai," I asked him with my usual cheerful tone. "What's up?"
"Hm? Oh...Naruto..." he smiled back at me, but I could clearly see that it was forced.
"...what's wrong?"
He raised a brow upon seeing my frown, and shook his head with a low chuckle. "It's nothing, really..."
"Oh, come on!" I patted him at the back, taking my seat beside him. "You wouldn't be so depressed if it's really nothing. Come on, tell me, what's wrong?"
"It's really nothing, Naruto..."
I stared at him for a little while, then I sighed and turned to Sasuke, who was obviously watching the both of us like a hawk. I rolled my eyes and went over to his desk, telling him about Kai's weird behaviour. He, as well, did not want to get involved in anything like this. I, on the other hand, really wanted to help Kai. So, with my best doggy eyes and my cutest pout - and some lecherous actions as well - I managed to get him to help me help Kai with whatever his problem was.
After a short while, the two of us strode over to Kai's desk, and I asked him again as soon as I seated myself on one of the empty chairs. "So, tell us now; what's wrong?"
"...why is he here?" Kai asked, obviously not liking Sasuke's presence.
"Don't look at me like that, it's not like I want to be here in the first place."
I sighed. The two of them never really got along with each other. Sasuke did not like that fact that I was quite close to Kai, and Kai did not like Sasuke's behaviour - at all. And I somehow got stuck between the two of them. Nonetheless, I felt that it was really necessary that I helped my best friend, and I knew that I could make him and Sasuke get along well with each other, so I decided to use that opportunity to get them to befriend each other. I sighed again when I realised the two of them were glaring at each other.
"You guys...can't you just get along with each other?"
"Iie."
I rolled my eyes. "Look, if the two of you won't get along with each other, then the problem won't be settled-"
"-it's not like I want to help him!"
"-it's not like I need help from him!"
The two of them glared at each other again, and I could only sigh. 'When will the two of them really get along with each other?' I thought. Then, I suddenly remembered about Kai's problem. Trying to ignore their glares to each other, I stared at Kai's face, hoping to get something from that expression of his. Then, all of a sudden, realisation struck me - Kai was feeling jealous and lonely! Of course, ever since I got close to Sasuke, I left Kai alone.
"You're lonely, aren't you?" I asked him directly.
"...nani?" Kai turned to me in confusion. "What do you mean by that?"
"You're lonely...and jealous as well, 'cause I spend much more time with Sasuke than you."
"I'm not-!"
"Don't lie to me," I shook my head. "I know it, just from your look. You're jealous at how Sasuke and I are close to each other, and you're lonely 'cause I'm never there for you anymore."
He had his mouth hung agape. "...look, I told you it's not-"
"-I know, I know! You wouldn't want to admit it! Nobody would want to admit something like that! But don't worry, I know what your problem is, and I shall help you with-"
"-I'm telling you that's not it!" he slammed his fists on the desk, causing everyone inside the class to turn to the three of us. "...what are you all looking at?"
All of them immediately looked away, afraid to have Kai glaring his deadliest glare at them. I sighed again. So, I was wrong. 'What is his problem then?' I wondered curiously. I stared at him, and he glared at me - and Sasuke was glaring at him as well. I sighed for the nth time that day. After a short while, he looked away, eyes darting wherever - until he suddenly stopped and focused his vision on something. I raised a curious brow and turned to where he was staring at - and saw Sai standing outside our class.
I raised both brows in disbelief. Then, I turned back to Kai - and noticed that he was still at Sai with a dreamy expression on his face. I furrowed my brows, and turned to Sai again. This time, the guy had noticed the three of us and he smiled, waving slightly. Again, I raised a brow. I turned to Kai, and saw that he was smiling and...what the hell, blushing?! '...Kami-sama...is this the Kai that I've met a month ago?' I stared at him with wide eyes, then I blinked a few times.
"...oh. My. God..." was all I was enable to say, before I started squealing excitedly. "Kyah! Kawaii desu!!!!!! (1)"
All eyes were set upon the three of us again, mainly upon me. I stared at all of them, before grinning sheepishly and blushing. They raised their brows simultaneously before turning their heads around, also simultaneously. 'Wow, it's like they have a remote control that controls them all at once!' I thought, shuddering a little when I thought of something like that. Then, I resumed back to my previous thinking - and squealed once more.
"Kami-sama, Sai!!!!!" I squealed, hopelessly trying to slow down my voice. "I can't believe it! How could you not tell me about this?!"
"...about what?" he stared at me confusedly, but by the blush that was taking over his face, I knew he knew what I was talking about.
I looked to my left and right, then I turned to him and whispered; "About you and Sai!"
"....n-nani?! W-what about me a-and him?!"
I grinned slyly. Obviously, something was going on between Kai and Sai. 'Wow, their names rhyme,' I thought chirpily. 'Oh well...oh! I gotta help Kai to get Sai! It's the least I could do for him! Besides, if I make Sai fall for Kai, then he would stop bothering Sasuke and me!' I was very happy at this point, since I got to make all four of us; Sasuke, Kai, Sai and myself happy! I turned back to Kai and noticed that he was flustering like hell, and I could not help but to laugh out loud - and causing everyone to turn to us yet again.
"Dobe, you're going to attract the whole world's attention if you keep on being this loud..."
"Urusai, teme!" I glared at Sasuke for a little while before turning my attention back to Kai, ignoring all the other pair of eyes. "So, tell me...you like him, don't you?"
"...w-who?" he stuttered, face even flushed than before.
"Sai......"
His face turned a hundred shades darker. "N-nandayo?! I-I don't...!"
"Oh, come on! Your face shows it! You really, really like him, don't you?" I stressed, grinning like a madman. "Come on, tell me! We're best friends, right? Tell me, tell me, tell me! Come on, tell me!"
"...gah! Okay, fine! But promise me you won't tell this to anyone - and I mean anyone, Naruto...not even your reflection."
"Uh...okay," I raised my brow for a split-second before my grin was plastered back to my face. "Anyways, tell me, how come did you fall for him? I mean...I don't even know you know each other - well, I do know that...but I don't the two of you are close! So, what really happened that he managed to capture your heart?"
He furrowed his brows. "...well...I don't really know. I mean, the first time I came here...he was the first student I came across...and somehow, he took my breath away, just like that...."
"Kami-sama...that's so cute! Love at first sight, it's just so dreamy!"
"Y-yeah...anyways, after that...you know, I found out that he actually likes you...and I was somehow heartbroken because of that. Then, I also found out about you and Sasuke, and your relationship, so I thought maybe I still have some chance. Then...um...he kinda helped me with lots of things...and...I don't know. I guess the feelings stay and don't want to go away.... But...I'm still worried...since I don't know his feelings and all..." he pouted a little and sighed.
"Oh, don't worry about that!" I quickly said. "I'm sure he'll love you back! You have my word on that, Kai!"
"...huh? What are you going to do?"
"Oh...you'll see..."
Osu~! Yay! Koneko-chan's in the house! lol, for some reasons, I really like how this chappy were brought up! I mean, even though Sasuke didn't make much appearance in this chappy, it was still so fluttering and all! And I know, I was wanting to make a SaixKai chappy, but I couldn't! So, I'll try to make another SaixKai chappy, but not in the next chappy! Anyways, wanna know what we'll have in the next chappy? Well....we...are....going....to....have....LEMONS! Yay! Hooray for lemons! lol! See you guys in the next chappy! Woot! Ja ne, minna-san!
