Chapter 5
Sakura
"Sakura-Chan, I am ashamed of you," Hinata's words held a deep amount of emotion as she stared at me. I turned my head to study the ground, not wanting to meet her eyes. "I-I want to agree with Sasuke, not argue." She bit her lip, her eyes skating across the ground as I looked back up to regard her.
"I apologize, Lady Hinata, I will be more respectful of Master Sasuke's wishes." I tried to ignore the nasty taste the words left in my mouth, refocusing my attention on the ground after I had spoken.
"Sakura-Chan, I know you are a good person and an amazing friend. I just..." She trailed off, her eyes flickering behind me. "I need to head to my r-room. I'll speak with you later." With that, Hinata sped off. I frowned at the way she had randomly stopped talking, pursuing her around the corner. I watched as Lady Hinata met eyes with Naruto. They held their gaze for a moment before Hinata darted off, blushing as she went. Naruto stared after her before turning his gaze onto me,
"Oh! Sakura-san, right?" He grinned, scrubbing the back of his head nervously. "Sorry about...earlier." He gestured around him in reference to the events regarding Sasuke and my outburst. I felt my cheeks heat up just at the thought of the dark-haired Uchiha wretch.
"It's fine, it was him anyways." I accented the word 'him' with as much hatred as possible. Naruto shifted his weight, staring into the courtyard before meeting my eyes again.
"He can be a bit..." He bit his lip, trailing off.
"Moody? Rude? Conceited?" I offered. I could say a lot more as far as that jerk Sasuke went. Naruto simply laughed in response, rubbing his head again as his eyes turned towards the sky.
"Yeah," He said simply, clearly not comfortable with name-calling Sasuke out in the open. "Did you get in trouble with Lady Hinata?" Naruto finally asked. I stared up at him in confusion.
"She wants to talk with me later. She rushed off in the middle of talking, I bet she forgot something." I said, my thoughts wandering back to how Hinata had randomly rushed off. Naruto looked at me as if I was the stupidest thing he had ever come across.
"You do realize that Sasuke sent me to deliver her a note of some sort. She probably went to go talk to him." Once more, rage began to seethe in my stomach.
"What sort of note?" I growled. If it was a love letter I was going to personally castrate that self-obsessed, life-ruining Uchiha.
"Ya know, you seem awful obsessed with Sasuke." I gasped, feeling my cheeks turn a dark red.
"I am NOT obsessed with that conceited little..." I scrunched up my face, realizing that I was out of insults.
"Teme?" Naruto offered, not sure why I had stopped talking. I looked up at him, nodding slowly.
"Yeah, I like that. Teme is a good word to describe him." I smiled at Naruto. He didn't seem half-bad; he could come up with a good insult. "What are you going to do now?" Naruto raised an eyebrow at me.
"I'm gonna go report back to Sasuke. Why?" He gestured down the hall behind him where Sasuke's room was located.
"Well, I was wondering if you would mind telling me what's going on?" I smiled winningly at him. His cheeks turned a light pink as he grinned in response.
"I knew you were obsessed with the teme!" He laughed as he turned to walk down the hall. Before I could give a haughty response Naruto threw a promise over his shoulder. "And if I see anything I'll let you know!" With that, the hyperactive blonde disappeared into Sasuke's room.
Naruto
Sasuke leaned against the wall, his coal eyes vivaciously studying the floor. I watched the long indigo hair flip over Hinata's shoulder as she walked towards Sasuke. I felt my face heat up as I looked at her, and finally I had to avert my eyes. Why did she make me feel like this? Light-headed, giddy, and overall weird. I peered up at her, taking in her plump ruby lips, the way her dark hair framed her pale face, and her large lavender eyes. I bit my lip, staring at the floor again. It wasn't my place to be attracted to the Hyuuga heiress, I should know better. Still, it was hard to keep my eyes from her when I had never seen anyone more beautiful.
"S-Sasuke-kun? You w-wanted to see me?" She gazed shyly at him, blushing lightly as her soft voice stumbled over her sentence. She began fiddling with her hands, staring at the floor.
"It's about your servant, Sakura. I can't have trouble start because of her. I would have to call off the engagement," At that Sasuke propelled off of the wall, walking closer to the shy woman. She took a step back as he closed the distance, her hands folding tightly and her gaze remaining averted. I felt my hands clinch into fists as Sasuke reached one pale hand out, cupping beneath her fragile chin and lifting her face so that her lavender eyes met his coal hues.
"And we both know how unhappy that would make your father." Hinata's expression turned worried and a crimson blush spread across her face. I glared at Sasuke, who seemed oblivious to Hinata's discomfort.
"It won't h-happen again, S-Sasuke-kun, I p-promise." Hinata's voice was barely a whisper and her body shook slightly as she spoke. Sasuke smiled, leaning a little closer until his lips met hers. I felt rage build up in my stomach and I nearly snapped as he pulled away, leaving the heiress frazzled. He smirked at her before turning and leaning against the wall again, gesturing for her to come closer. She inched forward, refusing to meet his eyes and squirming underneath his intense gaze.
"Naruto," His dark eyes turned on mine. I glared at him, and his smirk widened. "Call in Sakura so we can resolve this issue once and for all." Hinata gasped slightly, her eyes widening as she turned to me. Clearly, she did not like the idea of being left alone with Sasuke after he had just exerted so much dominance over her. I bit my lip, meeting her eyes. She paused, simply gazing back at me.
"S-Sasuke-kun," She whispered, her eyes never leaving mine. "Allow me to c-call in Sakura-Chan along with N-Naruto-san." I turned to watch Sasuke frown, narrowing his eyes.
"Naruto can do it by himself." He growled, glaring at me. He gestured for me to go with a simple wave of his hand, and I obeyed with one last glance at the nervous, fidgeting Hyuuga. I ignored Sasuke's victorious smirk as I disappeared out into the halls.
