"…..." – Speaking
Chapter 26
No One's POV
"Sasuke? When are you proposing to Sakura-chan?" asked Mikoto.
Sasuke was deep in thought so he thought he heard wrong. He raised his eyebrows and blinked at the sudden question. Naruto and Itachi glanced at each other than at Sasuke. Naruto even paused his eating and gulped down the food in his mouth.
"Hn? I don't want to" Sasuke stated with a bored tone. He looked at his mother and saw her cheerful smile replacing with a plain look.
Naruto almost fall off his chair at that while Itachi shook his head. 'What kind of reaction is that? Why didn't he chock or anything…?' they both thought at the same time, sweat dropping when Sasuke resumed eating.
"Sasuke… What kind of response is that? Oh, I get it… Well, no need to be so shy" said Mikoto and chuckled. Now, all the three men sweat dropped.
"So cute~! Anyway, it's a man's job to propose, so you should be the one to do that. So when?" she continued, hopefully. Sasuke turn his head to look at his mother to answer her.
"Nev-… er- OWW!"
"Sasuke, what happened?" asked Mikoto as her younger son suddenly yelped. "Are you hurt?" she continued while Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed.
"I'm fine, Kaa-san" replied Sasuke, glaring across him at Naruto who laughed nervously. "What do you think you are doing, Dobe?" he asked.
"Oh, my leg slipped. Sorry, Sasuke. Haha" replied Naruto.
Itachi closed his eyes and covered his mouth with his fingers as if nothing happened but he was hiding his smirk. Mikoto shook her head at them and smiled.
"Kaa-san… He hasn't thought about it yet. Right, Sasuke? And you know he likes to give us surprises" replied Itachi. Naruto sighed relieved when Sasuke's glare turned to Itachi while Itachi smiled at him and his mother.
"Hn"
"Then think about it! You know if this much hasn't happened at the party, I was thinking of announcing about you two!" exclaimed Mikoto and smiled.
Sasuke chocked on the food then…
Meanwhile…
Sakura's POV
"Hey, Hinata-chan!" I greeted happily on the phone.
"Sakura-chan! How are you? Where are you?" she asked. She's so worried…
"I'm fine, Hinata-chan. And I'm at Uchiha residence" I answered her and she sighed.
"Thank goodness… We were so worried. Ino-chan and Ten-chan are with Tsunade-sama…" Hmm… that explains why Ino hasn't snatched her cell phone by now…
"Oh, good to hear they are working. Anyway, I'll be there soon. Tell everyone not to worry about me. Okay, Hinata-chan? I have to go now" I told her.
"Okay, Sakura-chan. Take care" she said. "You too" replying, I ended the call. I went back to my seat beside Mikoto-san.
"Sorry, about that. Here, thank you, Naruto-kun" I said and as I sat down, I saw Naruto-kun and Itachi-san smiling at me.
"No problem at all!" said Naruto as he took his cell phone back and continued to eat. Wow… he seems too hungry…
I wanted to hurry up eating and leave as I was feeling some dangerous vibes coming from beside me. I know who it was coming from… but the question is, why? What is the problem of this guy? Okay, now I can't take it. It's kind of suffocating me…
I turned my head to the side to look at him and saw he was glaring in front of him… at Naruto-kun? Now I see Naruto-kun is avoiding looking at Sasuke and was trying to finish his food hurriedly… I chuckled at that.
'Wrong move…'
He immediately turned to glare at me after I chuckled. And I did the only thing I could do… I smiled at him, a little forced. He turned and resumed eating his food and I saw lot of tomatoes on his plate… Wow… A smile really is effective in times… The lunch was quiet after that and the food was really great! I really loved it! I could still feel the dark aura but WHATEVER! I focused on the delicious food!
No One's POV
"Aniki, what's with the lie again?" asked Sasuke.
The men were relaxing in the parlor after their lunch. Itachi sighed as he sat on the arm chair. Naruto was already seated and doing something on his cell phone. Sasuke took a seat on the couch beside Naruto adjacent to Itachi's arm chair.
"Well… I didn't expect Kaa-san to ask that question so suddenly. What do you suggest? Shock her with your answer?" asked Itachi, shaking his head. "At least, Naruto stopped you… Sometimes, your indifference gives me a fright" he added.
"But still… I don't like it. And what do you suggest I should do?" questioned Sasuke, leaning back. "You hear Kaa-san? She is planning way ahead and what if she finds out?" he added, frowning. Itachi and Naruto snickered.
"Yeah! That would have been hilarious to watch at the party!" exclaimed Naruto and laughed while Itachi agreed.
"Hn. He even chocked on tomato at the mention of it" added Itachi.
"Enjoying my misery? You'll regret it, Dobe" said Sasuke, smirking at Naruto. "And I have to get back at her. Tsk… You guys are useless" he stated as he stood up, thinking of a plan when…
"There you are boys!" came Mikoto's voice which caused them all to look at the older women who was followed by the pink haired lady. "She says she won't stay and has to go back" added Mikoto, pointing at Sakura.
"Well… I agree. She should" stated Sasuke, shooting a glare at Sakura.
Silence…
"Uhh… He means her friends must be worried and she has a job to attend to, so she has to go back… right Sasuke?" Naruto covered up and laughed. Sasuke sighed and started to leave.
Mikoto raised her eyebrows. "Is he sad… as Sakura-chan is leaving…?" she questioned, puzzled.
'More like angry at her…' thought Itachi and Naruto. Sakura huffed and looked away.
"Well… Thank you everyone for taking care of me…" curtsied Sakura and bowed a little. The three smiled at her and Mikoto told her no need for the formalities.
'I'll be more safe away from him. Ugh! Ever since I slapped him, he's got more annoying! Wait… I just sounded like him!' thought Sakura and grimaced.
'Yeah, you did. And that slap sure echoed in that room, you know' chirped her inner voice. Both she and her inner self snickered at that in her mind.
"Sasuke! Stop right there" boomed Mikoto's voice.
Sasuke paused at the first step of the stairs and looked back at his mother. Mikoto smiled at him too sweetly while Naruto and Itachi chatted with Sakura but the three paused to look at Mikoto.
"Sakura-chan is leaving so go and take her back" stated Mikoto. Sasuke's eyebrow twitched at that.
"No! There's no need! I'll go by myself, Mikoto-san" Sakura immediately refused. Sasuke silently agreed but he knew his mother won't allow it so he tried a different way.
"Naruto, drive her back" stated Sasuke, nonchalantly. Naruto was about to speak but Mikoto beat him to it.
"Whose girlfriend is she?" Mikoto pressed. Sasuke could see Itachi and Naruto trying to control their laugh behind his mother while Sakura looked panicked. Then he smirked…
"Okay, Kaa-san. Naruto, the keys" said Sasuke. "Let's go, Sa-ku-ra" he added, smirking.
Mikoto smiled while Naruto and Itachi shared a look. Sasuke was already walking towards exit and Naruto threw the car keys at him. Sasuke caught it with ease.
"N-Naruto-kun, come with me!" said Sakura, extending her hand at Naruto as Sasuke dragged her by her other hand. Naruto and Itachi could already see some tears at the corner of her eyes.
"I guess I should go-…" started Naruto but Mikoto cut him off again with a glare. 'I'm sorry… Sakura-chan…' he thought and sighed.
"They look so cute~!" chirped Mikoto, staring at the backs of Sasuke and Sakura till they exited while Itachi just smirked, amused.
'…And they call me weird…' Naruto sweat dropped.
Meanwhile…
"Glad to hear she's alright… That girl scared me to death! I couldn't even drink properly because of it" said Lady Tsunade and sighed. Hinata, Ino, Tenten and Shizune sweat dropped.
'Yeah… right' they thought, glancing at the side of the table where more than usual bottles laid. Hinata shook her head while the other women rolled their eyes.
"Okay… She's coming here?" asked Tsunade.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama. She said she'll come here soon…" informed Hinata. Tsunade nodded at that.
"Very well… You are all dismissed" said Tsunade. She glanced at the newspaper on the corner of her desk where she could see the headlines of Uchiha's cruise being ambushed. She sighed.
The other ladies left the office smiling and chatting. 'Well… I guess I should meet Mikoto-san and discuss 'some things' with her… Knowing her, she must be happy and planning their marriage already' she thought and laughed.
"But… I still doubt if Sakura is telling the truth…" Tsunade muttered. 'Nah… She won't lie. I can tell he's the real Uchiha Sasuke… I saw glimpse of Mikoto in him when I first saw him' she thought and shrugged when…
"Hello, Tsunade! Long time no see!"
"Jiraiya, don't barge in like that!" snapped Tsunade, glaring at the white haired man. "Why are you here?" she questioned.
"No hello?" muttered Jiraiya then shrugged. "Well… I came to meet Uchiha Sasuke's girlfriend. Where is the lady?" he asked, grinning.
"Uhh… It's alright… You don't have to do this… I have to go to the office first…" said Sakura, hesitantly. Well… she tried for the second time…
Sasuke drove the car while Sakura sat on the passenger seat and fidgeted. Sasuke didn't say anything since they exited his home and the silence was killing Sakura.
'He's toooo quiet… That's very… fishy' she thought.
The car suddenly stopped, causing Sakura to jerk forward. She tensed and looked outside to found he had parked near a busy street, merely ten minutes away from his home. Sakura looked at Sasuke questioningly and found him looking at her, stoically.
"Get off" stated Sasuke.
"Huh?"
"Get off the car. You said you can go by yourself"
'Ugh! THIS JERK! I should have seen this coming!' thought Sakura, clenching her fists. She saw him smirking at her and contemplated whether to punch him or not. 'He just wants make a fool out of me. He thinks I'll plead him! Ha!'. She exhaled deeply.
"Fine… I don't want you near me anyway" stated Sakura, rolling her eyes. "I should have just called Sai-kun to pick me up" she continued, opening the car door.
Sasuke's ears perked. "Who?"
"None of your business" spat Sakura, glaring at him.
"How are you going to call him by the way?" asked Sasuke, amused.
"…Uh… N-None of your business?" she said but mentally cursed as she sounded unsure.
"Well… I would like to see you try then" challenged Sasuke, smirking and came out of the car. He pulled the hood of his black hoodie over his head and leaned on the closed door, crossing his arms.
"Why don't you just shoo away from here?" shot Sakura, furious.
"Well… I might reconsider dropping you off if you make a polite request and sincerely apologize to me…" he said, ignoring her statement.
"Dream on, Uchiha" stated Sakura before turning around.
Ignoring how cool he looked, Sakura huffed and glanced around her but spotted no familiar person. She stomped away from him, irritated. She saw public phone booth a few meters away but she had no money. Sasuke only stood there and followed her with his eyes. He watched how she asked for help from unknown people.
"Excuse me, Ma'm. Can I-…" Sakura asked a lady who ignored Sakura and left in a hurry. That was the fourth time now…
Sasuke frowned, looking at Sakura. He should feel satisfied and triumphant but he didn't… He felt angry instead. 'How can people ignore and refuse to help others who are in need?' he thought. He unconsciously clenched his fists, which were still crossed over his chest. On the other hand, Sakura sighed. She turned to look at Sasuke and saw he was still looking at her.
"That's enough. Come on, let's go. I'll drop you off" said Sasuke, appearing behind her. Sakura jumped.
"D-Don't speak upon me like that! Anyway, I refuse" said Sakura, putting her hand up. "I know your intention. You will just drag me to your car and before I could enter, you'll drive away leaving me standing there like a fool" she continued. Sasuke sweat dropped.
"I won't. It's pathetic to watch you like that" stated Sasuke.
"Then don't watch. I don't want your help" she said, walking further away from him and spotted a descent looking man. She approached him with a smile. Sasuke watched blank faced, standing where he was.
"Hello, Sir. I need some help… Actually, I wanted to make an urgent call… Can you lend me your phone for a call please?" said Sakura and smiled at the man. The man looked up at Sakura and smirked.
"Hmm… Is this cute lady asking for a favor?" asked the man, smiling. Sakura nodded, looking a little abashed for being called 'cute'. "Well, I would love to help you but… how about a date in return?" he added, smirking. Both Sakura's and Sasuke's narrowed.
"Uhh… No, thanks" replied Sakura. 'All guys are the same! And I thought he looked descent' she thought and turned to leave when the man grabbed her hand.
Sasuke didn't like the scene one bit. In fact, he was furious when the man grabbed her hand. He was about to reach the scene when…
"Sakura-san…? Hey, leave her alone or you'll regret it" said a man, as he stopped his black bike in front of Sakura. He removed his black helmet revealing his short black hair and a frowning face.
"Sai-kun! I'm so glad to see you!" exclaimed Sakura cheerfully, punching the man's face who had grabbed her hand and paid him no mind.
Sai sweat dropped. "…I told you, you'll regret it…" he said to the man on the floor. "You should leave while you have a chance" he added while Sakura continued blabbering. The man left hurriedly, mumbling something.
"Thank goodness! I was about to call you to come pick me up. Anyway, let's just go" Sakura continued. "I can't stand the people around here. They are so rude!" she emphasized, looking at Sasuke.
'That's Sai…?' thought Sasuke, looking at the new comer. His eyebrow twitched when Sakura smirked in his direction and continued to talk to Sai person.
"Oh, I forgot… Wait a minute, Sai-kun" Sasuke heard her say and then she shouted…
"OMG! IT'S UCHIHA SASUKE! IT'S HIS CAR! OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! KYAAA~!"
