Hey guys, how're you? And don't worry, I'm not planning on quitting yet; just busy with my semester exams and projects which is really disgusting. Well there's the reply for my readers.

*Tobee – The answer is that she was rejecting Naruto's confession.

*gabrielbills68 – Liked your comment! Arigatou…^_^

Well…moving onto the story.

Chapter-4-(Part 1) – Arrival!

"CUCU-RRUK-KOOOO…"

Naruto woke up in the morning with a long yawn. Brushed his teeth, ate his breakfast and ventured out to academy.

In between his way to academy, Naruto saw a crowd in front of the gates of academy. The crowd was the students of academy of different classes but mainly of his class.

He entered into the crowd to see what was grabbing the crowd's attention.

He saw a kid around his age standing still there with hands in his pocket. The boy was standing with expressionless face and with something dark aura in him.

And another boy around his age who is fighting with him. He was no match for him, it was looking like only one sided match.

The helpless boy rushes forward to punch him but he easily dodges his every attack fluently.

"What is happening here?" Naruto questioned Lee.

"Ohh…Naruto!" in surprise.

"I heard that boy was bulling everyone but when his next victim was Sasuke, it was a mistake for him."

"Sasuke…?"

"Yup…He's in our class."

"Huh?"

"You don't know he's in our class…?"

The way Naruto reacted, it looks like he didn't know him.

Lee dropped his face down in a comical way.

"Yeah…he always sits alone in silence, that's why…" Lee said.

Naruto continued to watch him.

That was the first time Naruto saw him, same case as that of Sakura.

In class,

All the students started sitting. Naruto entered into the class, moment he comes into class he sees Sasuke sitting there. Naruto couldn't refrain himself from watching him constantly except when Lee interrupted him for chit-chat.

At break,
"Hey Sakura…" Ino called her,

"Let's go out and eat, I'm starving…" she said in a comical way.

"Hai-hai…" while a pleasant smile to her.

Immediately from Sakura's left diagonal, Sasuke was walking and leaves the class and she noticed him.

"Hey Sakura!" while running a free hand in front of her to get her attraction.

"Oh…" pink immediately snapped out of it and looks to her.

"Where're you lookin at?" she asked.

"Hehe…nothing, let's go…" both leaves.

Days after days and finally after one week.

Naruto decided to talk to Sakura, even if it means by using force cause he wanted to unravel the matter between him and her.

Then finally Naruto left a note to Sakura's bench and called her out where they first met.

Sakura got there, under the tree's shade in daylight but she couldn't see Naruto there.

"You're late…"

"Huh?" she turned right and left to see him but realized after that he was lying up there on tree's branch, but couldn't see him cause he was sitting in the sun's direction, so it was all black figure up in the tree.

Naruto jumped down lightly while Sakura adjusted her pupils to see him again.

Sakura sees in his eyes and,

"So, what was it?" she asked while looking away and holding her left arm with right one.

"You know why I said you to meet me here!"

With a little sad and yet without anger, she didn't utter a word.

"I want to clear up the things with you…"

"Naruto before you say anything, I want to say that forgive you and I don't have any grudge, hatred, anger or anything against you…I just don't want to reminisce anything about previous thing."

"And I want you to know that there is a boy a like…" she said with a little blush on her cheeks.

"Y-You mean…you have a crush on someone…?" Naruto asked.

"…yeah…that boy is Sasuke from our class. I have a crush on Sasuke Uchiha…" she said shyly and with light pink shade on her cheeks.

"Sa-Sasuke…sounds familiar…" blonde thought,
"Yeah, the guy from morning who was involved in that fight."

"Oh…Sasuke Uchiha, that guy…" blonde said with sarcasm.

"Huh?"

"Uhh…nothing" Naruto said.

"Hey Sakura…!"

Sakura turned over to see Ino calling her.

"Oh, I've gotta go…"

"Uhh…wait Sakura…" Naruto stretched his hand to stop her but couldn't.

"Huh…" Naruto bowed his head down in disappointment.

"Sasuke Uchiha…that fucking jerk, I have no grudge against him until now. That bastard is seriously make me hate more to himself. Also, he caught Sakura's attention to like him. He's seriously gonna pay for this…" with that rage Naruto made his fists harder and give a hard blow in the tree in which he dogged himself in it.

"Hey you brat…What are you doing? Come back here…"

Naruto turned over to see the man that was yelling at him and then at his fist which was still in the tree.
"Uh-oh…" Naruto immediately ran out from there.

In the evening,
"Arigatou Ayame-chan…this is always the best part of the day." Naruto said while rubbing his stomach.

"Hehe…arigatou Naruto-kun," she replied with a gentle smile.

Naruto starts to leave from there, "bye Ayame-chan…"

"Bye, have a good day."

Naruto leaves from there and decides to roam a little in village as there was a little lighting and crowded in the village.

After leaving to his apartment, Naruto saw Sasuke in his way. His anger starts to boil again after seeing him.

"Hey dope, wait!" Naruto called him from behind.

Sasuke turned over to see him.

"Huh?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Well…that's a cliffhanger…and I know Naruto didn't get his gift in this chapter, so please wait a little.
And I think I have to involve Sasuke for this entire story to have more ideas and for further story. Well give me suggestions or ideas that come into your mind, it really will help me.

And stay tuned for the next chapter and take care! Ja-ne! ^_^
