Rated T.

KiiroIka

Summary:

In a world where Sasuke wasn't cool and cold, where Sakura was the stoic Ice Queen, Naruto and Hinata the richest, most popular power couple in the school and where Ino and Karin are actually the nice, timid girls in the scene, how do things turn out?

I do not own Naruto.

Chapter 6: Odd but Comfortable… Oddly Comfortable

"Oi, what you staring at?" I said. She flinched a bit and looked at me with, wait, what?

She looked, no, stared at me with amazed eyes.

What the?

"You're Ekusasuchi023 on YouTube." She said. It sounded more like a statement than a question.

"Uh, yes." I said, biting the inside of my cheek. I did try to hide my face for a reason. "What's it to you?"

"Well," She hesitated for a while, then spoke, "I know a lot of people that like you. You're very popular you know."

"Oh. Good to know." I said, half sarcastically, and took a seat beside her.

"Well, doesn't that affect you? Ekusasuchi023 was voted the school's favorite YouTube star last year." She said. I shut my laptop down.

"Uh, not really. You see, I don't want to be popular." I explained as I brought out some paper and two pens.

"Oh? Why not?" She asked. I sighed. Man, this girl confuses me. First she was a jerk, then she was my enemy, now she's little miss "I-am-so-curious-about-you" and shit.

She's into you, duh.

'Shut up.'

"Well, I just don't want to." I said. It was an honest answer. I really don't know why, but I don't want to be popular. I don't need to.

"I'm taking it that you don't want me to pester you more on why you don't want to be popular." She smirked.

"Yes. Glad you noticed." I smirked back. "C'mon, let's get to work."

-x-

It was already seven when we finished. It took us so long because we already finished the poem and the song. And we pigged out on mom's cupcakes.

"How do you stay thin?" I asked, munching on my cupcake.

"It's a Sakura thing." She chuckled. "So, we ready to pass this project?"

"Yeah, yeah." I waved my hand around. "That way we have fewer things to worry about."

"True that." I picked up the CD that contained the song and the two bond papers that contained the song lyrics and the poem.

Man, Sakura has a beautiful voice.

'… Well, she does.'

Yes, she does. She has a naturally beautiful voice that could make any guy's heart melt right through their freaking ribs.

…

…

…

I'm not saying it happened to me. I'm just stating a fact.

'Stop smirking.'

Oh, haha, yes I will.

'I said stop, idiot.'

Fine, fine. Sheesh.

"You keep this." I handed the CD and the papers over to her. "I might lose it."

"Yeah. So I can make sure I won't ever have to sing with you again." She chuckled.

"Defenitely." I followed. The two of us laughed for a while, and then everything was silent. She stared at my guitar while I stared at her. We sat on the bed like that for a while, 'til I broke the ice.

"So, you know, Sakura, you have a really beautiful voice." I said. Her green eyes brightened. "Yeah, I mean it."

"Y-you really think so?" Her cheeks turned slightly pink. I was actually surprised at how shy she was. Her cold, I-don't-give-a-damn-about-the-world attitude suddenly disappeared. The Sakura with me, right now, is just like a normal girl.

"Yeah." I smiled. She bit her lip and looked away.

"W-well, I have to go." She said, regaining her cold demeanor. "Thanks, Uchi—Sasuke. Thanks, Sasuke."

"No problem, Sakura." I smiled. She rolled her eyes and smirked. We walked to my door. From the corner of my eye, I saw her look sad. She glanced around the room for a bit, and then we went out. I walked her to the front door, and mom was already telling her to stay.

"Dinner, please? Haruno-san, you don't have to go!" Mom whined. "I would love to have some female company around. The boys are no fun at all."

"Thank you, Uchiha-san." I smiled a bit. My mom obviously liked Sakura. "But my mom wants me home early. I'm sorry."

"Awww… Well, it was nice meeting you, Haruno-san." Mom smiled a sad smile.

"Please, no need to get so formal. Call me Sakura." Sakura shook her hand.

"Sakura-chan…" Mom smiled. "Call me Mikoto, then."

"Okay, Mikoto-san." Sakura bowed her head. "Thank you for the cupcakes. They taste absolutely delicious."

"I hope to see you again, Sakura-chan!" My mom waved as I walked her to the driveway.

"Same to you, too, Mikoto-san." Sakura smiled, a bit sadly. I decided to push the thought away as mom shut the door.

"Hey, you know, mom really likes you." I blurted. "She always wanted a daughter."

She stared at me and nodded.

"I like her, too."

We stayed quiet for a while, the moonlight shining above us. And I decided to break the ice again.

"Hey," I said. "Why don't we put everything that happened behind us, and start over?" The words just rolled out my tongue. She looked a bit shocked, but then she smirked.

"Hn. We'll see." She held out her hand. I shook it. A sleek, black Porsche arrived and I decided to open the door for her.

"Hey, I owe you a guitar lesson. Drop by sometime." I smiled.

"Are you asking me out on a date, Uchiha?" She mused, smirking.

"I-uh-ah-n-no." I babbled. My cheeks felt hot, and I realized I was blushing.

"Well, whatever." She said as she got in the car. I closed the door and she rolled down the window.

"Uh, was that a yes?" I was still blushing, and she was still smirking. She was probably happy that she had this effect on me.

"We'll see, Sasuke." Her eyes shone. "But leave Friday night free." And she drove away.

'So… That was a yes?'

Bah, women, so confusing!

'Is this a date? No!'

Uh, pal, technically, it is.

'N-no. God, it's just Sakura…'

Yeah. JUST Sakura.

'Y-yeah, no biggie.'

I tried to ignore the growing joy I was feeling in my heart as I walked past a smirking Itachi.

"Snagged a date, otoutou?"

"Shut up."

OMG! Big, embarrassing mistake!

When I re-uploaded chapter 6, I accidentally put chapter 5! It was the time I was re-editing my work, and probably copied the whole chapter 5 to chapter 6 and didn't freaking notice! XD SORRY! That was very, very careless of me.

Anyways, it's fixed, now! A big, big, biiiig thank you to LilyVampire for pointing out my mistake. Thank you, dear!

Now that that's fixed, I will be uploading chapetr nine hopefully withing the day because I'll be going to the dentist this aftie, so yeah.

Ja~!
